Just one touch
Chapter Eleven

Anita ran to Victor. "Victor!" she called once again and she kneeled down next to him. "Victor, wake up." she whispered. She hoped he just fainted instead of… "Please Victor, don't…" Anita felt the tears running down her cheeks. "You can't leave me, not here, not now, not like this." she whispered.

"Anita." Victor said and he opened his eyes. "What happened?"

Anita felt relieved. At least he wasn't dead, that was the most important right now. "You fainted, that's what happened." Victor started to groan and Anita placed her hand on his chest softly. "Just stay down, it'll be over soon."

Victor smiled a little bit and he looked to Anita. "Where am I anyway?"

Anita gave him a surprised look. She knew that you could forget for a minute where you were, but she thought Victor would manage to see that soon enough. "You're in the corridors of the U.Z.Z. H.Q. Don't you remember that you just tested some new pair of jet-shoes?" She asked while she sat down on the ground next to Victor.

Victor thought for a moment. "All I can remember is that we all went to pub to celebrate the fact that Delilah passed for the test."

Now this was unexpected and Anita looked into Victor's eyes. "But that was a week ago. You don't remember that you and Delilah kissed each other in the canteen?" Anita asked.

"What?" Victor said and he sat up straight. "Why would I kiss… She isn't my type of woman. Are you sure that it was me and Delilah?"

"Why? Did you kiss somebody else too?" Anita said and she just couldn't get the irony out of her voice.

"No! I mean that it was me and Delilah and not some guy else and Delilah?"

Anita sighed. "I whish I could say that." she whispered. "It was you and Delilah. But…You can't remember it? Totally nothing?"

Victor shook his head. "I told you, the last thing I remember was that we went to the pub."

"So you were poisoned." Anita said. "You were poisoned by a love poison!"

"And you think Delilah did that?" Victor asked and Anita nodded. "But why would she do such a thing?"

"Because she still works for T.H.E.M." Anita said and she told Victor what Delilah told her the other day.

"So you really think that Doctor Doctor made me fall in love with Delilah?" Victor asked and Anita nodded. "That would be the strangest attack that she would ever do."

"But it is true." Anita said and she looked to Victor. "Because you would give attention to Delilah and you wouldn't be able to do your work properly. And I found the love poison."

"But, why doesn't it work anymore?" Victor asked. "I don't think you gave me an antidote, because you looked shocked when you saw me on the ground."

"I don't know why it doesn't work anymore." Anita said. She could say that it was because of the touch of her hand or it was the kiss, but that would sound a little bit too silly. But she knew one thing for sure, Victor and Delilah weren't a couple anymore.

Victor looked to Anita. "Alright, now that I'm normal again…how could we stop Delilah or Doctor Doctor?"

Anita gave Victor some kind of a devilish smile. "We play it the same way." she said and she told Victor her plan.

"Oh, Delilah, I was looking for you." Victor said and Delilah turned around. They were both standing in the Training Room and Victor walked closer to Delilah. "You know, there is something I want to tell to you." Victor said after he gave Delilah a kiss on her cheek.

"What is it?" Delilah asked and she looked to Victor. The past week, he acted a little bit too romantic. Having diner together, giving her flowers – roses in particular – and all other stuff a man in love would do. She just hoped it wasn't just another diner, she just wanted to have diner on her own tonight.

"You know, ever since I met you for the first time, I wanted you to ask this." Victor went down on one knee and he looked into Delilah's eyes. "Delilah, do you want to marry me?"

Delilah's mouth fell wide open. "What…Are you…This can't be serious!" Delilah said and she looked to Victor. "No, no, no, I don't want it!"

Victor looked to Delilah. "Why not?" he asked and he looked to her. "We love each other, that's all what matters."

"No, Victor, we don't love each other." Delilah said and she helped Victor up. "I shouldn't take that assignment. I just knew it would give me trouble." she sighed, just when Anita walked into the room.

"What assignment?" Anita asked and she walked to Delilah and Victor. "As long as I know, you didn't get an assignment from U.Z.Z."

Delilah gulped. "I can't take this anymore, Victor is overreacting when I'm talking about love." she looked to Anita. "Please, Anita, you have to help me."

Anita looked to Delilah. "Only when you promise to tell me everything about what is happening here." she said. "I didn't trust it when you two showed up together."

Delilah sat down at the bleachers and she looked to Anita. "I didn't quit T.H.E.M. when I heard about what Doctor Doctor did and why she did it. I was, well and still am, a T.H.E.M. agent. Doctor Doctor made me give Victor the love poison, so Victor would only have eyes for me and not for U.Z.Z. and you, Anita. You and Victor would break up as a team and Doctor Doctor would win the next battle, because you two are only strong together. But I poured the whole bottle into Victor's glass and maybe that was too much of it. I'm so sorry, Anita." Delilah whispered. Anita was a little bit surprised by this story. She knew that the love poison had to do something with it, but now she knew why Delilah did it…it was just too much. "And now, Victor is in love with me, while I hate it." Delilah went on.

"Actually…" Victor said and he walked to her. "Somehow, the love poison didn't work anymore."

Delilah looked to Victor with a surprised look. "You mean that you knew what you were doing a few moments ago?"

"Only to hear your confession." Anita said and she looked to Delilah. "You know that we have to do what's right, right?"

Delilah nodded. "I'm going to tell Special Agent Ray about it and he will tell me what to do." she looked to Victor and Anita. "I'm going to quit both U.Z.Z. and T.H.E.M., I have enough money to start my flower shop."

"You are going to start your own flower shop?" Anita asked and Delilah nodded.

"I'd better go now." she said and just when she walked out of the Training Room, Anita ran up to her.

"You know, I always thought that a blond haired man would be your type." she said with a little smile and she looked to Delilah. "I think you have to talk to Kent. He seemed a little bit down when you and Victor were together."

Delilah smiled. "I wouldn't do something else." she said and she looked to Anita. "I just want to ask you one little favour."

"Sure." Anita said. Delilah told her what she wanted and Anita started to smile. "I'll do it right away."

Anita walked into the Control Room, where Kent was still working. She heard some rumours about that she and Kent would have something together, but she didn't really mind it. After all, it were just rumours and she knew it better than that.

She walked to Kent's place and she tapped him on his shoulder. "Kent, there is something I want to show to you." she said and Kent turned around.

"Well, alright." he sighed and he stood up. "How are you anyway?" he asked while they walked to the Training Room.

"I'm fine." Anita said and she looked to Kent. "But you don't really look like you're okay."

"I didn't sleep very well." Kent said and he looked to Anita. "I still can't believe that Victor and Delilah are a couple, that's all."

Anita nodded. "I know what you mean." she said and they walked into the Training Room. The Training Room was almost completely dark and someone was standing in the middle of the room.

"Delilah?" Kent said and he walked to her. "But, what 's going on here?"

"I need to talk to you." Delilah said when Anita walked away. She figured that these two needed just some time alone. Delilah looked to Kent and she sighed a little bit. "Doctor Doctor send me to a mission to poison Victor with a love poison, so he and Anita would break up as a team and Doctor Doctor would win the next battle." she said. "I never really loved Victor, at least nothing more than just a friend."

Kent looked to Delilah and he seemed to be relived. "It's okay." he said when he saw the tears running down Delilah's cheek. "If you're thinking that I let you go because of this, then you're wrong. I never want to let you go." he pulled Delilah into a hug and he kissed her tears away. "You know," he whispered in Delilah's ear. "I loved you ever since I saw you for the very first time. And not a single stupid T.H.E.M. mission would ever stop me to love you."

"So, you're not angry for what I did? That I was a T.H.E.M. agent?" Delilah said. She had the feeling that Victor and Anita were here somewhere, so she still needed to act like she didn't know that Kent was a double agent.

"No, I will never be able to be angry at you." Kent whispered and he looked to her. "Nothing would ever stop me from loving you." he repeated and he gave Delilah a long, never lasting kiss on her lips. "I love you."

Delilah looked to Kent and she smiled. "I love you too." she whispered and she looked to Kent. "I'm going to quit T.H.E.M. and U.Z.Z. and I start my own flower shop." she said with a little smile.

Kent smiled. "Do you have enough money?" he asked.

"Just enough to buy the empty store I saw last week." Delilah smiled and she looked to Kent. "But I'll manage to work everything out."

"And do you have a place to live?" Kent asked and Delilah nodded.

"The store has an apartment for a family of four." Delilah said with a smile. "It's really beautiful and I don't have to move when I got married and have kids."

"It does give you some plans, doesn't it?" Kent said with a little smile and he looked to her. "What do you say if I would help you?"

"What do you mean?" Delilah looked to Kent. She wanted him to stay with her, to marry her and to get old together.

"What do you say about that I move in with you and help you with the costs?" Kent said. He just wanted to be with her, 24/7 for the rest of their lives.

"Would you really do that?" Delilah asked and Kent nodded. "Thank you!" and Delilah kissed Kent, right on his lips .

Meanwhile, Anita and Victor looked to the new couple from a little distance. They both saw how Kent offered to help Delilah and they just knew there would be a wedding someday, maybe soon.

Anita sighed and she looked to Victor. "I'm so glad everything is alright again." she said. "It's so great to see Kent and Delilah together."

Victor nodded and he looked to Anita. "Maybe we should offer to help them with the flower shop. I mean, to help them decorating the shop."

Anita smiled. "That's a nice idea." she said and she chuckled when Kent and Delilah were kissing each other, again. "I think those two want to have some time of their own."

Victor smiled and nodded. "Did I miss much during my relationship with Delilah?"

Anita thought for a moment. "If you're not counting that your mother went with me to the T.H.E.M. base, not much."

Victor looked to Anita in shock. "Mum went with you to T.H.E.M.?" he said and Anita nodded. "But why?"

And as they walked away from the couple, now knowing that nothing could ever come between her and Victor, Anita told Victor about her 'mission' to the T.H.E.M. base. Everything would be back to normal again and that was all both Victor and Anita were asking for.
