I'm sorry it took me sooo long to finish this chapter, but I was so busy with school that I hardly had the time for it. Luckly, I managed to finish this chapter. I hope I get some time to finish the next one soon.

Chapter Seven

Anita walked to the end of the gate. Her heart broke – just like the plate that fell out of her hands – in thousand pieces. Seeing Victor and Delilah kissing each other… She just couldn't believe it. After all those years of hoping and dreaming about her and Victor being together. They were all shattered by just one kiss.

Anita sighed and she sat down at the edge of the end of the gate. It looked all like a bad dream; like a nightmare.

Eliza looked to Anita and she sighed. She always thought that Victor and Anita would be together one day. She thought that Victor loved strawberry blond, not dark brown. Eliza walked to the end of the gate and she sat down next to Anita. "I brought you something to eat." Eliza said and she placed a tray next to Anita. She looks really pale, this couldn't be good, Eliza thought as she looked to Anita. "You really need to eat something, Anita."

"I'll be fine." Anita said. She didn't look into Eliza's face, afraid for breaking down.

Eliza just nodded. "When you…you know…wants to talk to somebody, I'll…"

"I'll be fine, thanks." Anita repeated and she looked to Eliza. "I just need…"

"You need some time alone, I understand." Eliza sighed when her communicator went off. "It'll become alright, Anita." she said as she stood up.

Anita nodded and she looked to Eliza as she walked away. I really hope you're right, that everything will be alright one day.

Anita was glad that she was alone again. It was nice of Eliza to go to her, but she just needed some time alone. Anita looked to the sky. It drizzled just a little bit, so the chance that there would be any mission was still small. Anita was glad about that, it meant that she didn't have to work with Victor today. He was the last person she wanted to see, just like Delilah.

Anita heard some footsteps, but she didn't bother to look up.

"Anita," she heard and Ray sat down next to her. "How are you?"

"What do you think?" Anita snapped at him and she gave him an angry look. "I just lost Victor to an ordinary, level 1 agent! How would you feel about something like that? That you lost the woman you loved to somebody you think he wasn't worth for her?"

Ray let her scream. He knew that Anita's heart was broken. Even though she didn't say it, he knew that she loved Victor more than everything else. Maybe she loved him even more than she loved her work. Ray knew that a broken heart wasn't easy to fix, but holding back the emotions wasn't good either. She needed someone to scream at, someone else than Victor.

Anita started to calm down and the tears started to fall down her cheek. Ray pulled her into a hug and he tried to calm her down. "I'm… I'm sorry, Ray. I shouldn't be yelling at you." Anita said as she wiped her tears away.

"It's alright." Ray said. "You're off for the rest of the day, so why don't you go home?" Ray knew she needed some time alone, so he arranged the rest of the day off for her. Anita looked to him and just simply nodded. Ray sighed a little bit. He understood that she wanted some time alone, but she wouldn't get any rest at the U.Z.Z. base. "Please Anita, go home." Ray looked to her and he stood up again. "You know where you can find me when you need me."

Just when Ray walked out of the Storage Room, Anita looked up. She didn't want to go back home. Even though she and Victor didn't spend a lot of time together in her house, it was somehow painful for her to face it. She didn't want to think back to the times that Victor was in her house, she didn't want to think about how she felt on those moments. Every time he visit her, she felt wonderful, special and she knew she love him every time they were sitting next to each other on the couch.

Besides that, she was afraid that Victor would come into her house and tell her that he would get married to Delilah. That was the last thing she wanted to hear.

Anita looked to the sky. The rain stopped, but the clouds were still above the city. Anita sighed a little bit. It's just like the way I fell right now, she thought before she let her head rest on the iron floor and she closed her eyes so she could clear her head.

Kent heard from the other agents that Anita ran out of the canteen, heartbroken. None of the agents could ever imagine that Victor would love somebody else than Anita. All of them couldn't believe it, just like Kent. He was looking for Anita, because he knew exactly how she felt, or at least just a little bit.

Suddenly, he saw somebody sitting in the Storage Room. Kent walked closer to the agent and he noticed that it was Anita. She was lying on the floor with her eyes closed. Kent didn't know if she fell asleep or that she was just thinking. He decided to lie down next to her and then see what would happen.

"What are you doing here?" Anita asked after several minutes and Kent sighed.

"Thinking, just like you." he said.

"About what?" Anita asked, not bothering to open her eyes.

"About Victor and Delilah. That it isn't right that they are together."

That made Anita opens her eyes. She got the feeling that some agents knew that she loved Victor, but they never said a thing. Anita looked to Kent. She recognized something from herself in him. He was somehow heartbroken too. "Did you love Delilah?" she asked.

"That depends." Kent said and he looked to Anita. "Did you love Victor?"

Anita didn't really expected it that he would return her question and she nodded slowly. "Yeah, I loved Victor." she whispered. "And somehow I still do."

Kent nodded. "Just like I still love Delilah."

Anita looked to Kent. "You knew her already, right?"

Kent sighed. "We went to the same karate class a few years ago. I loved her when I met her for the first time." Kent knew he shouldn't be lying to Anita, but he hardly could tell Anita that he worked for T.H.E.M. too. "I thought that she loved me too, but apparently Victor was her choice." Kent stood up again. "Do you want to train? It helps to lose the frustration."

Anita sighed and she stood up. "Sure, let's go. I can use some action." she said. I hope it makes me so tired that I fall asleep tonight immediately, so I don't have to think about Victor and Delilah any more.
