Chapter 40
Department XJessica roused from her sleep enjoying the comfort and warmth from the sleeping figure beside her. Sitting up, she reached forward to brush back a strand of hair that fallen between Yuri's eyes and gently bent down to kiss the sleeping angel in front of her. The happenings of the events just now remained fresh in her memories as she remembered the whispered words in her ears. "The promise still stands regardless of who or what you are." She brushed back the tears that had somehow found its way out and smiled. At this point of time, it didn't matter anymore if Yuri was the good guy or the bad guy. She just know that Yuri was someone she loved so much that she would do anything and everything she can to prevent anyone from taking her away. Remembering the words Taeyeon told her over the phone, her brows creased as she struggled to think of all the possibilities that could have happened to have this as a result.
A hand gently reached out and at the furrows between her eyes as the smiling face of Yuri loomed in front of her. Jessica placed her hand over before Yuri could kiss it again and watch as the smile slowly developed into a pout. Jessica leant against the wall behind and patted the empty space beside her. Yuri rested her head on Jessica's shoulder and hugged her waist as Jessica spoke in a serious tone. "Yuri, I need you to think hard of all the enemies you have made previously. I just received a call from Taeyeon that your life is in danger." Yuri frowned a little after hearing what Jessica had said as she slowly starts recollecting the enemies she had made. Raising her thumb she slowly counted "Hmm lets see, there is that one triad boss Shen from HongKong that claimed we shortchanged him the last time by selling him impure blocks and there's that Ashraff from Iraq who blamed us when the guns he bought got hijacked by a rival party after the exchange was made. There's also that Isao guy whom I rejected because he wanted to sell us some weird bomb thingy. Jessica's ears pricked up at the mention of Isao's name. "You were there also? OMG, how could I have missed you. Damn and that stupid Taeyeon claimed she had planted cameras EVERYWHERE." Yuri nodded her head in reply "Yeah, I was there on behalf of my dad to attend some sort of a party and wait...I thought SOMEBODY was visiting her parents." Yuri's voice trailed off as she sat back and stared at Jessica who sheepishly scratched the back of her head as her tongue slowly appeared from between her lips. Yuri took Jessica's hands in her own and stared deeply into her eyes "Lets not lie to each other ever again from today onwards ok?" Jessica smiled as she slowly nodded her head. The two of them looked down unanimously as they slowly felt a thump. It was the sound of their hearts returning back to the void in their chest as it beat together again in unison.
=============================================================================================================
Jessica slowly held Yuri's hand as she lead her into the cafe. Today was the day Yuri will be properly introduced to the gang as they needed to work out a plan to ensure an all rounded protection was provided from Yuri. Opening the doors to the cafe, Jessica slowly dragged Yuri in as she held on tightly to the door frame. "Are you sure they won't just grab some glock and shoot me right in the face?" Jessica pulled with all her might as she screamed in exasperation "I am the one who usually does the shooting. So if you don't come in now, I will just shoot you myself before anyone can do it." With a final pull, Jesssica forcibly pulled Yuri who was now looking at her with a smirk on the face. "Ah, thats another secret I found out about you. So you are the shooter huh. That explains why you are always the first one to come then." Jessica glowered at Yuri and smacked her hard on the arm as her face rapidly reddened in the process. Taeyeon and Sunny stood a little distance away as they watch the conversation between the two of them and tried their best to contain the laughters that was bursting to come out from within them. Taeyeon reached out a hand and squeezed Sunny's bum as Sunny narrowed her eyes at her and hissed between her teeth. "We have guests here. Behave yourself."
Sooyoung and Yoona ran over to Jessica and Yuri and stretched out their hands expectantly as Jessica shooked her head and stuck out a tongue at them. "Nope, she didn't prepare any presents for the two of you." Sooyoung ran away pouting and Jessica noticed a movent from the corner of her eyes. Turning to Yuri, she quickly pulled her away from the inching hands of Yoona. "Grab your phone and hold on tight to it before she steals it and installs some virus or trojan horse on it." Remembering the angry Macdonalds customers again, she shuddered as she chased Yoona away.
Turning to face Taeyeon and Sunny, Jessica dragged Yuri over as they hurriedly adjusted their hair and clothings a little and reached out their hands to greet her. Yuri shooked Taeyeon's hand first and when she took Sunny's hand, she narrowed her eyes a little. "You look familiar, have we met somewhere before?" Sunny smiled in reply "Isao's party I guess. That was where I first saw you as you talked to Isao." Yuri creased her brows further as she searches through her memories. "No...I don't thinks thats just it yet. I think I saw you way before Isao's party" Biting on her upper lips, Yuri thought really hard but she just could not seem to place where she had seen Sunny before. A cough from Taeyeon jolted her back to reality as she hurriedly released Sunny's hand and turned back to holding Jessica's.
