Chapter 4
Department X
After that short stint in Zurich, Jessica set off, determined to get back quickly and strangle that horrible Taeyeon with her bare hands for making her cancel her vacation plans at the very last minute just to do this mission which Taeyeon could have easily done herself as well.
Reaching Zurich airport, she checked herself in without any baggage and waited for the boarding gates to open. At the very last minute, she suddenly remembered that she had to buy that baby back home some souvenirs, she headed into one of the shops and emerged out with a box of swiss chocolate in hand. It was lucky she remembered this time because the last time she forgot, she had to spend one hell of a day explaining to impatient and rude customers that this is not the hotline for macdonalds delivery and why it had somehow mysteriously crossed over to her cellphone.
"Never get in a hacker's bad book. They can do many scary stuffs to you that is beyond your wildest imagination"
Boarding the plane finally, she took a minute to find her seat and plonked herself down beside this fat and sweaty man who stared at her with his mouth agape. Sighing internally, she told herself that this was gonna be one long flight back.
Glowering at the man beside her for the 3rd time, she deterred his attempts to make small talks with her again. "Argh, why doesn't he just shut up and sleep already" Screaming in her heart, Jessica continue to fix the icy stare at him hoping he will get the message this time. Just then, the seat belt sign popped up signalling that they were about to fly into a course of turbulence. Stopping her glare, Jessica belted up and tried to finally get some rest. Just then she felt herself jostling around as the plane met with a clear air turbulence. Jessica told herself to ignore the sensations she was feeling in her stomach and tried to concentrate on sleeping. Just then she felt the guy beside her placing his left hand on her shoulder and when she turned sharply to look at him, he gave this flirtatious smile and said "Be careful, these turbulence can be very scary." Feeling the anger rise up in her, she rotated herself to face him, grab the hand that he placed on her shoulder and rotated his shoulder away from his body. She felt the ball of his upper arm bone pop out from its socket and watch as his arm falls limply to his side. She turned up the volume on her mp3 as the guy screamed in pain beside her.
Upon arrival, she turned off her mp3 and removed her headphone only to hear the guy sniffling beside her cradling his left arm in his right. Smiling to herself, she disembarked from the plane and headed for the carpark to fetch her car.
It was just another busy day at the cafe as Seohyun and Hyoyeon busied themselves with serving coffee and cakes to the hungry office workers who stopped by for lunch. Jessica stepped in and noticed Sunny clearing tables over at the corner while Taeyeon was nowhere to be seen. Noticing her presence, Yoona left the netbook she was typing on and ran up to Jessica with Sooyoung in tow behind. After dropping the chocolate into their awaiting hands, they ran happily back to their corner to unwrap their present.
Sunny looked up from the table she was clearing and smiled warmly at Jessica. She gave the table a final wipe and headed over to where Jessica was standing and extended out her hand to her. "Hi, you must be Jessica. I am Sunny and thats my sister over there. Sooyoung." Glancing over at Sooyoung who was happily eating the chocolates with Yoona at their little corner, Jessica lifted an eyebrow as she sense that something wasn't right. Looking at Sunny she smiled and motioned to her to sit down at the table nearest to them.
"I hope you don't mind me asking but is Sooyoung..."Her words trailed away as Jessica searched for the correct word to use. The smile on Sunny faded as she spoke, giving Jessica a glimpse into the hell they went through before joining the department.
