Author's Note: Thank you for your reviews. I'll try to make this chapter a bit longer to make up for the last chapter which is my shortest one for this story. For the Guest's question in Chapter 6, yes the guys are spies too but they are under the Red Fountain division as said in Chapter Seven. I won't be keeping you, my beloved, readers for long; here it is.

Chapter Eight: Leaving

The next week, the girls were walking in the hallways of the Alfea Division. They are ready to turn in their resignation. A life of a spy can be exciting at times, but there are certain missions that will get a spy's emotions involved. Sadly, the "mission" with the Specialists was one of those missions. The Winx just couldn't take the ache in their hearts once, and if, they face the Specialists anywhere in the agency again.

"Are you sure about this girls?" Ms. Faragonda asked.

"Ms. Faragonda, we've already done so much for the agency and our country," Bloom said.

"Look, if it was about me interfering with your affairs -" Ms. Faragonda was cut off by Stella.

"No, our resignation has nothing to do with you Ms. Faragonda but it became a little too personal. We wanted to get away for awhile and I'm afraid taking a leave won't be enough. We joined this agency a week after high school. I think it's time for us to experience life, the way normal people do."

"If you put it that way, I don't think there is anything I can do to change your minds about it," Ms. Faragonda smiled.

"No, I guess not," Musa said.

"Then at least, let me help you. A very close friend of mine is looking for shopkeepers for her recently opened petshop in ," Ms. Faragonda offered.

"Thank you, Ms. Faragonda. I think we can manage after that," Layla said.

"Your very much welcome, Winx, it's the least I can do for you girls," Ms. Faragonda said. The girls smiled at their boss. "Please go back to your desks for now, pack up and fill out your resume. I'll write your letter of recommendation."

"Thank you so much, Ms. Faragonda," Flora said.

"I should be the one thanking you, my dears. I'm afraid you won't agree to a spy's proper send-off," Ms. Faragonda said.

"That may result to unwanted attention. After all, we still don't know who hire the Jaguars to kill our team. I think it'll be best if we cut all ties with everyone in the agency after our resignations are signed," Tecna said.

"If you think so, just be sure to watch your backs until we find out who really is after you. I'll have agents watching you for safety purposes until we find out who the criminal is," Ms. Faragonda said. "That's why I'm asking you to still take the Lamborghini with you when you leave."

"As long as it's someone from our division, I don't think we'll have problems," Bloom said.

"Yes, for now you can go back to your desks," Ms. Faragonda said.

The girls went to the storage room first to get some boxes for their stuff when Roxy decided to talk to them. She noted the boxes the girls were getting from the storage.

"What's with the boxes, girls?" Roxy asked.

"We resigned, Roxy," Layla answered for them.

"WHAT?! You can't resign, you're the best agents I know. Heck, you're even better than your Red Fountain counterpart (the Specialists)," Roxy said. The girls squinted at that.

"Thanks to those counterparts that we're alive and kicking now," Stella murmured.

"No way, they are the Specialists?" Roxy said, as realization hit her.

(A/N: If you're confused, this is because the Alfea and the Red Foundation agents are forbidden to even know and see each other but the Winx' case made them an exception, Ms. Faragonda and Saladin are also exception since they are the heads of the two divisions.)

"Be quiet. It would seem that the Specialists were assigned to do the protecting and it was not the other way around. Wait a minute, how do you know we were saved?" Tecna asked. "We didn't ask for back-up."

"Someone else called me. Someone from the Red Fountain division. I shot the engine of the Jaguar King's car, causing it to explode," Roxy explained.

"Hmm. Take care of yourself, Roxy. Ms. Faragonda will be cutting all our ties with the agency to keep everyone else safe, until we find who's after our team," Bloom instructed.

"You should practice what you preach," Roxy advised.

"We're the best agents in this division, remember?" Stella said, smiling.

"Be careful," Roxy said. She gave the Winx, whom she considered as her older sisters, a hug each. She didn't want the Winx to know she was about to cry so she ran to her cubicle and she cried there.

The Specialists were in their desks buried in paperwork for the past week. They are so miserable because of what happened, though they know they shouldn't be. They were writing their report on their latest mission and was about to submit it to Saladin, their boss, when Jared, Saladin's secretary, stopped them.

"Saladin is in conference with the Alfea Division's head," Jared said.

"Did she say why?" Sky asked.

"I'm afraid not," Jared replied, "but I have a hunch that it has something to do with the mission you guys recently accomplished."

Because of that, the guys tensed up. Jared noticed this and sent them a questioning look. The Specialists sat near the window. Brandon looked out the window and that's when he saw, six figures carrying boxes and headed towards six top-down Lamborghini in the front parking lot. The Winx! Brandon stood up from his seat to watch his beloved blonde walk and drive away from him. The girls managed to catch the Specialists' hearts after all.

"Where are they going?" Brandon wondered out loud, catching his teammates' attention.

"It's the Winx," Riven said.

"Oh, I heard from Ms. Faragonda that they resigned and cut all the ties they have with the agency," Jared answered.

"They shouldn't get the agency involved with what happened with us last week!" Sky exclaimed, his fists were clenched.

"Sky, that's barely the reason why my girls decided to resign. They have their very personal reason," Ms. Faragonda said.

"Then why did they leave?" Nabu asked.

"I'm sorry to say that the reason is not my position to say," Ms. Faragonda said.

"And you boys, should know better than to talk back to a superior. You are embarrassing me," Saladin said.

"Now, Saladin. Everyone can be driven by emotions at times," Ms. Faragonda said.

Ms. Faragonda returned to her office after that and Saladin turned to the Specialists.

"I believe you have a report to submit," Saladin said.

Author's Note: So what did you think? If you want a happy ending, just say so. This is not yet the end. Probably the next chapter and then an epilogue. Don't forget to leave a review. See you guys in the next chapter.
