Chapter 11: Family Vacations x Mission
The next morning after father's day Twilight woke up early in the morning and stood up to make breakfast and wake Anya up for school.
But in his encrypted machine, a message had been printed.
He read it.
Come to WISE HQ, it's important.
He sighed and put on sweatpants, a shirt and running shoes. He left a note saying that went out to do exercises.
Then he got out of the house and he ran to the headquarters. He was wondering what would be so important for them to summon him there at six thirty in the morning.
When he arrived he went to the Handler's office and after a soft knock he walked in.
"Good morning Twilight" she said smiling with a cup of coffee in her hand "how was father's day for our beloved Loid Forger?"
"It was pretty good. You can see I'm wearing what Anya made for me." She looked at the beautiful shirt with drawings from a little kid and her heart was melting.
"It's an adorable gift, I bet she made it at school" he nodded and she smiled more "yeah... Schools love to do that kind of thing" she had memories of her daughter doing that kind of thing for her and her husband but she had to stop the memories before an unwanted visitor ran down her cheeks "ok changing the subject, we have a new mission for you. It's a the south of Ostania, you have to infiltrate in the hotel room of the leader of a more aggressive section of the Red Circus and steal documents that could lead us to discover if they plan to do a terrorist attack"
"Ok, understood, when? And who's my target?"
"His name is Vladimir Gaunt. He's this man" she pointed at the photo of a big fat man with a terrific smiles and eyes of a man ready to kill thousand of people, he had short blond hair and green eyes and he wasn't very tall but his presence was intimidating "he isn't like the man who kidnapped Anya's bus. He's capable of killing if you speak too loud to him"
"Yeah I can tell by his body expression"
"About when... You will have to leave tomorrow and this mission should be completed in four days and three nights" Twilight looked at her confused and his boss handed him a brochure of the hotel "you and your family will go there for that amount of time"
"That's a terrible idea, how can I do the mission with Anya and Yor with me?"
"You are a smart man, you will figure it out. I had to do it that way since the hotel doesn't accept individuals, just families. But don't worry. We have the perfect excuse. You won it thanks to your hard work at the hospital and because of your birthday" she smiled devilishly at him and he was nervous "by the way... Twilight, I think it's the first time you added personal information in one of your covers"
"I wanted to have a real reason to celebrate it. I didn't want to put up a fake date, meaningless to me"
"I understand... I used a piece of personal information in my cover as Sylvia. Of course I won't tell but it's something important to me. We always try to have a piece of reality in this terrible and nameless work" she said, taking a sip of her coffee "Since it is in three days you will celebrate it with them in that hotel. All charges are covered, you will have all the foods without extra charge and drinks, please don't get drunk. It would be embarrassed" she smirked knowing he can't get drunk easily, he has a high tolerance to the alcohol after all "have fun, now you may go"
He sighed and nodded, holding the information about the hotel and his cover for the mission in his hands, leaving the HQ.
He ran back home, stopping by to buy some ingredients he needed for lunch. When he arrived Yor and Anya were already up and Yor was cooking.
As the perfect planner he was, Loid planned the menu for them every week. That way each of them will know what they are going to eat from Monday to Sunday.
Also, that way he can go to the grocery store and get all he needs for the week.
And that also helped Yor know what to cook in case he had these "emergency calls", today they would eat hotcakes so that's what his wife cooked.
He smiled as he heard the "daddy!" from Anya while she was running to him and hugged his leg.
"Good morning Anya" he ran his hand softly on her hair and Bond also looked for his hand and after both received a pat on their heads they ran back to the table.
"Good morning Loid. I saw the ingredients out and read the menu for today's breakfast. I hope I made them well" he looked at Anya eating and she had a smile on her face.
"Yes, it looks like you mastered them" he smiled and it made her blush and he could see her with teary eyes, something he found cute "I can keep going from here if you want to. I have an appointment later today"
"And my shift starts later today so I can do the laundry while you cook lunch for us" he nodded "I will get Anya ready"
"Ok I wanted to tell you both something but I will when Anya is ready" Yor nodded and left the kitchen to get the little girl ready.
He continues to cook starting long in the meantime.
When Anya was ready, he walked to them and put a letter in her hand "Anya, you are going to give this to your teacher. I won a prize for being the doctor of the month and for my birthday so we will be leaving for a four day trip to the south. If you need a letter for your job just tell me Yor"
"And I have to do a spy mission there," thought Loid, making Anya excited.
"That sounds awesome! I think my boss won't have much trouble with my absence these days" she said with a big smile.
Then Yor took Anya downstairs to get her into the bus to school while Loid ate then he continued to cook their lunch.
Yor arrived a couple of minutes late and started to do the laundry and cleaning the apartment.
After finishing the laundry she took a shower and changed into her uniform then headed to the kitchen and since it was noon they ate together and they went together to the train station and took the train to their destinations.
The rest of the day was busy for both of them. Yor told her boss about Loid's prize and that she will be out of town for four days.
He accepted her absence but in exchange she will have to deal with a couple of missions as Thorn Princess when she returns from this unexpected vacation.
Meanwhile Loid used his time to memorize the faces of his bodyguards, the map of the hotel and the information about his target.
Also he had some patients as part of his cover.
At night the marriage met on the train back home and she found out he brought two new suitcases for them, because the ones they had were awful.
When they arrived Anya was at the neighbors' house, doing homework and working on her handwriting.
While Yor opened their apartment's door, Loid knocked on their neighbor's to pick her up.
"Thank you so much for having her while we were gone" said Loid to Granny Barbara and Anya hugged his leg.
"It's always a pleasure to have her here. She's a funny girl and behaves like a normal child" said the old lady smiling at Anya "she's getting better at writing. It's slow but this old book is working"
"That's good news" said Loid, smiling big "good night Mrs Barbara" and they both left.
Bond barked happily at them and licked Anya's cheek. Loid smiled and walked to the kitchen and found Yor starting to cook dinner.
Loid went to take a shower then prepared his suitcase and helped Anya with her clothes, putting them in the suitcase she will share with Yor.
After that they sat down and ate dinner together sharing stories of their day as usual.
Then Loid sent Anya to brush her teeth while he helped Yor wash the dishes and finally she went to Anya's bedroom to read her a story. When she fell asleep, Yor went to her bedroom to get everything done for the next day.
The next morning after breakfast Loid left Bond at Frankie and he looked too happy to have Bond with him which was suspicious but he let it go for his inner peace.
He met with his wife and daughter and the three of them left to take the train. It would take them most of the day but they will be comfortable there.
Loid was reading, Anya was playing with her toys and Yor was also reading. They had lunch and by five they arrived at their hotel.
The weather in the south was hotter than Berlint but Loid found it nice, he liked the cold weather but the change was welcomed.
When they walked in the hotel he went straight to the reception.
"Excuse me... I'm Loid Forger and these are my wife, Yor, and my daughter, Anya. We have a reservation" the young woman at the reception nodded kindly and checked their names.
"Ok Mr. Forger. You have a reservation for four days and three nights in one of our suits. You will have today's dinner and the last day's breakfast included in your plan" she said reading the notes "and the hospital asked us to give you a special gift since the 19th will be your birthday"
"Oh my... They did? I'm embarrassed now" said him blushed and rubbing his neck softly "well thank you" he said then the girl looked at him and answered in code.
"Yes sir but don't worry it will be a nice surprise in your room"
Twilight your target is on the fifth floor. The documents are in his safe box.
"Oh thank goodness. I'm not used to this surprises"
Ok, I understood that. Do you have any clue what the password is?
"I'm sure you will love it, mister," she smiled.
No sir. But The Handle is expecting you to get that info.
Twilight just nodded, faking a kind smile and got his keys and a copy for Yor.
"Room 305, have a nice night Mr. Forger" he nodded and walked to his family.
"Let's go to our room and let's have something for dinner" he said and they left for their room.
The place was huge and with separate beds for them. One was bigger but he gave it to the girls, he would use the little one.
There was a TV so Anya wouldn't lose her favorite show. It has a little table and chairs, the bathroom was huge with a bathtub and a shower.
On the table was a basket with fruits, some chocolates and a brochure with the activities for the week.
After setting everything up they went to the restaurant and had dinner watching the pool and the sea a little further from where they were.
A soft wind was blowing and it was calm and nice so Yor and Anya decided to walk around the place to see what it has, even when it was dark outside.
Meanwhile Loid stayed in talking to one of the waiters and part of WISE about his target, he told his family he will be talking about the hours of breakfast, lunch and dinners and how the room service works.
Your target is normally at the pool in the morning, said the waiter in code so only Twilight could understand him and the boy handed him a brochure about the restaurant.
Twilight nodded, faking a kind smile understanding what he said and left the restaurant to find Anya in Yor's arms at the reception.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be with you, but I needed to ask a few things"
"It's ok Loid" she said smiling "tomorrow we will have a good day" he nodded and they left to their room.
Yor changed Anya into her pajamas and Yor changed too, then she laid next to her daughter and almost immediately she fell asleep.
Loid looked at both of them and smiled, he liked to see them like that, at peace and trusting him.
He decided to go to sleep later that night after pondering everything the receptionist and waiter told him earlier.
The next they woke up and got ready. It was the first time in almost a year that Loid wasn't cooking their breakfast which feels weird but he deserved some rest.
He puts on the shorts he ended up buying at the cruise ship. Yor put on a red bathing suit and a white dress on it and Anya had a kids bathing suit on that protects her from sun burns.
They went down to the restaurant and had breakfast. They ate waffles with cream and syrup. Loid had coffee with milk as well as Yor and Anya some juice.
After that they picked a table close to the kid's part of the pool and sat down. Loid took off his shirt first and Yor couldn't help but look at him.
She has never seen him shirtless back home and after their adventure at the cruise ship they wore special suits that covered their bodies, but now she had a full view and she had to admit, he looked pretty good. He had muscles but he wasn't buff, his abs were defined and his shoulders looked even better without the shirt.
Loid could feel her eyes and blushed slightly, Anya broke the moment by saying "mommy and daddy are flirting"
"We are not!" Said both of them blushing and Anya left with a little smirk knowing she was right about it.
They had been showing a lot of affection towards each other and she noticed it, she just enjoyed teasing him now and then.
Yor looked at Anya and her senses were on looking for possible threats when she saw her making a friend with other kids she relaxed and noticed that Loid was relaxing too.
They were both watching Anya with worried eyes.
She decided to take off her dress and it was Loid's turn to look at her. He was aware of her beauty but bathing suits help you notice things that even a thigh dress couldn't.
He noticed her curves and he couldn't understand why this woman was single when he met her. She was kind and sweet but also beautiful and beyond stunning.
Yor felt his eyes, like that day at the tailor's shop, but this time she felt more exposed to him and felt suddenly ashamed. Loid noticed that and said in a soft voice "you are perfect, don't feel ashamed"
She relaxed and sat down. And turned again to watch over Anya. Loid did the same but also he looked with angry eyes to any man brave enough to lay his eyes on her.
He felt a weird kind of possessiveness towards Yor now that could be normal if they were a real married couple but, they weren't but still he was jealous of other men looking at his wife.
Was his feelings for her real or just his natural competitive self? We're those feelings even there or just something in his mind?
He noticed that she also was giving some women a deadly look when they dared to look at him, was that something his mind fabricated? Was it even real?
The rest of the day was relaxed for the Forger. Yor and Anya played and swam in the pool, under the protective eyes of Loid. Loid joined Anya too and they even played games with the recreation crew of the hotel.
They had lunch by the pool and after resting for an hour, Anya joined her friends at the pool.
"This place is way more relaxing than the cruise ship," said Yor.
"Yeah but I think your opinion is base on the fact that you were working, I couldn't relax much either with Anya jumping around but still it was fun"
She nodded and laughed softly. Yes, she was working and the only days she could relax was on the first day when Olka and her baby were out of the room to see the view with her, and the day at the island with her family.
She suddenly felt the need to held his hand "I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you, I missed you both all the time and had you in my mind all the time"
Loid blushes softly and squeezes her hand softly "it's ok, I understand that you were working and even when we missed you too, we were happy to know that we will see you sooner rather than later" she smiled and blushed too.
"Thank you, Loid" she said and before she was aware of what she was doing, she gave him a soft kiss on the cheek then ran away to play with Anya. This left him speechless.
They had been sharing kisses on the cheek most recently but this one felt different and he didn't understand why. Maybe because he discovered new feelings towards her?
He suddenly felt cold and he noticed why, at the other side of the pool was his target, with three big men around him. His blue eyes were ice cold and he started to analyze the situation.
He didn't noticed that Yor got tensed as well when those men arrived. Her senses were full on and noticing blood lust. They were hungry for killing but who? And why everytime she had a nice day she found these kinds of nasty people.
One of the WISE members approached the target and smoothly placed a microphone then another one close to Twilight offered something and hidden under a plate was a earphone to hear everything from that table.
Twilight could hear everything and took mental notes. He was focused on the mission right now and when he got what he needed to know he took off the earphone and the same waiter swiftly recovered the microphone.
His eyes were back on Yor and Anya who were in the pool playing, Loid was happy they didn't notice the silence exchange that just happened. He was dead wrong because Yor noticed their blood lust and Anya read his mind and Yor's mind, knowing everything and being excited about this new adventure.
The rest of the afternoon was tense with that man in front of Twilight. He could continue spying on him by reading his lips but also wanted to keep an eye on Anya and Yor.
At the end of the day everyone left for their rooms to take a shower and have dinner.
"It was fun!" Said Anya excited and happy "thank you daddy for being a good sp... Psychologist"
"She still pronounced the beginning wrong" thought Loid and sighing.
"I'm just doing the best of me at my job" he smiled "just like you are doing with your homeworks" he congratulated her and she hugged him which caused Yor to have teary eyes. She loved to see them like this, it was adorable and made her think how of a good father he was.
After this beautiful moment, they took turns to take a shower. Yor and Anya first then Loid. They got dressed with light clothes and went down for dinner.
They ate and stayed for a little jazz concert close by the pool until Anya fell asleep arms. He held her with one arm and held Yor's hand like they started to do, normally when they were alone or when Anya was asleep.
He smiled at her and she smiled back. Those light touches made her craving for more and for them to be longer. She got used to his touch and now she didn't even think about drinking alcohol to allow them to happen and sometimes she imagined how his lips could feel like to be on hers.
She didn't know this but he thought the same thing about her, he wanted longer touches of their hands and how her lipstick tasted.
After the concert the family returned to their room, laid Anya on the bed and went to sleep. Even Loid, who was supposed to write down the information, couldn't stop himself from falling asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
The next day was exactly the same, except it was his birthday so Yor woke up earlier and ordered their breakfast to be brought to their room. And she placed three presents on his bed.
One from Frankie, which was a beautiful watch that was also a secret gadget for his missions. Anya gave her a cup with the words "The best father" and drawings made by her.
Apparently, Yor contacted Anya's art teacher and asked him how they made her cup. He explained and Yor did the same with Anya at Camilla's house. Loid didn't stand Camilla but he couldn't deny how helpful she had been.
Then her present, a travel-sized grooming kit, he was thankful because he actually needed one, he realized Yor asked Frankie because he told him about this.
Loid smiled and hugged both of them and kissed Yor's cheek and Anya's forehead then they ate happily and enjoyed their day like the one before.
At night they ate cake and the hotel crew sang the birthday song alongside his family and it was the best birthday he had since his mother died.
At their room and with the thoughts of his mom still there, he allowed himself to have some tears and Yor just hugged him, Anya joined her and he let himself cry in front of someone. He was never this open with his emotions but with Yor and Anya, he was more open and dared to share them the true Twilight.
The third day there was his chance, he left Yor and Anya at the pool because he had to "go to the bathroom" and Yor was somehow happy it could also happen with others food not just hers, even though she knows her food wasn't the best.
Meanwhile Twilight met with his team and changed quickly into a waiter and they managed to infiltrate. Some waiter/ agents distracted his target while he found the safe box open and stole the information he needed. His new watch camera helped him and when he got everything he needed he left everything like it was before he walked in.
He was glad that he was lucky enough to find it open and he didn't have to guess the password even though he had a pretty good guess after spying on him for two straight days.
After that he returned and Anya read his mind and was disappointed that she didn't help him but he was a great spy after all.
That night was their last one so they spent it in their room watching movies and happy for their time together.
The next day they left the hotel. Twilight thanked his fellow agents and they were fanboying over him telling him how amazing he was. He smiled and left the south happy after completing his mission.
When they returned Anya got a visit from Becky who handed her her homework. Twilight gave the information to the Handler and Yor got the mission to kill Vladimir Gaunt, the same man Twilight stole the information from. He was back in Berlint and they asked her to eliminate the corrupt scum.
When WISE found out about this assassination, they were in shock and in his documents they found out why.
He was selling secrets to other nations and building an empire of lies. It was clear someone contracted an assassin to eliminate him, but who? and who was this powerful assassin?
OOooOOooOO
This chapter took me forever to finish it. I wanted to write the mission and continue to build up their relationship.
I hope you enjoyed it, it's a long chapter so it might compensate for the wait.
It was meant to be posted yesterday but I was sick and it was my mother's birthday.
