My brain has no heart. My heart has no brain. That's why when I speak, my mind seems heartless and when I do what's in my heart, I seem thoughtless.




Giara's POV.

"When he will beback Alec?" I asked putting my phone back in my pocket after hearing thelame excuses of Jay.

"Tomorrow maybe. I'm not sure." He said shrugging.

"Hey guys!" Nick walked in greeting us.

"Hey." Alec greeted back, I just nodded at him.

"So what's the occasion?" He asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to have a talk with commander." I said.

"Oh, G did you find someone." At that Nick frowned. "Oh come onNick, you should know that there are people out there who are smarter thanyou." I teased, smirking at him.

"Shut up." He said making us laugh at his annoyed face. "I'lljust back to my work, I don't want to be laughing matter." He huffedwalking towards the door from where he just entered few seconds ago.

"Nick wait!"

"What? If you want to joke again then I'm not in the mood."

"Always so sensitive." I said rolling my eyes.

"You know what? I'm leaving."

"Thank you!"

"What?!?" Both Alec and Nick exclaimed looking at me.

"What?" I asked with confused face.

"You. The Giara Grace Edwards is thanking me." He said pointingtowards me then himself. I rolled my eyes again.

"I just wanted to thank you for not opening your mouth in front ofcommander about the cellphone thing."

"Oh... You're welcome I guess." He said.

"Well now I'll get going. See you guys when I'll see you." I wavedgoodbye, walking out towards my bike.

*Beep Beep*

"Huh? What's that ringing?" I heard unfamiliar Beep. I patted mypockets feeling the phone that beeped. It was the cellphone that Alec found.It's screen was lightning, showing there was a new message.

;)

Hey Agent! Miss me? It was long since we had a talk. How about we start withour little game!

The phone beeped again with a new message.

;)

I heard about what you did to my poor Jake. I would really like to meet theperson behind my Jake's injuries. So I am going to cut short this chasing gameby giving you a little clue.

Clue: When you are searching for something you should check your own bag beforesearching the whole town.


Good luck agent ;)

"Check your own bag before searching the whole town? What is he playingat?"

*Ring Ring*

Now that's my phone ringing. I took out my phone. Bob Weasley. The name lit upon my cellphone screen.

"Yes, Bob any problem?" I asked placing the phone between my leftshoulder and ear and climbing my bike.

"Giara, we have a intruder at the mansion. You need to hurryback-" I didn't wait for him to speak further, I just hung up andspeeded towards the Olsen's mansion. I know I wasn't thinking rationally butthe only that kept running in my mind was that Jay in danger and that bastard'swords. 'When you are searching for something you should check your own bagbefore searching the whole town.' Those words kept ringing in my ears.

'Check your own bag before searching the whole town.' I was driving too fastover the speed limit not wanting to waste any time. Nothing mattered to meright now. All I knew was that there was a intruder in Jay's house and he wasunguarded and then again there was that bastard's stupid clue which I am sureindicated that Jay's was in danger. As soon as I reached the mansion I got offmy bike without waiting to park, I rushed inside with Bluetooth earpiece in myear calling Bob to make sure that Jay was nowhere near the said intruder. Hepicked up the call.

"He in the hallway wearing all black attire. I didn't alarm thesecurity, I waited for your call. He doesn't seem heavily armed from a knifehe's carrying. And now he just picked up a wrapper that was lying in the hallway?Wow he just threw the wrapper in the dustbin! Looks like the intruder is quiteOCD." He kept rambling, giving me every detail of the intruder.

"Bob where is Jay and Marcus?" I asked cutting off his rambling.

"They are in game room away from the intruder who is heading towardskitchen? The intruder seems more like a burglar." He kept on with histalking while I was standing behind the intruder who was busy dusting thekitchen counter.? Weird.

"Where is she?" The intruder muttered to himself.

"Right behind ya." I said making him startle and let out a shriek.

"What a pussy." Bob scoffed.

"Waiting for me?" I asked walking towards him, patting my lower backchecking for my gun incase it was needed.

"No." He squeaked and then cleared his before speaking moreconfidently. "Actually yes." He picked up the knife with histrembling hands, that fell off when I startled him. I chuckled.

"A kitchen knife, really?" I said eyeing the knife that he held inhis shaky hands more like shaking body. He looked like that dog who's always onvibrating mode. What's that dog called? A Chihuahua!

"What's in my hand doesn't matter if you have great skills." He said.His was covered in black mask, only thing visible were his eyes. They round andseemed very familiar. I narrowed my eyes at his eyes trying to remember where Ihave seen them.

"What are you looking at?" He asked when he noticed that I wasstaring at him with narrowed eyes.

"Your eyes, they seem familiar." I said walking closer to him. Hewidened his eyes at that.

"F-familiar. You are talking nonsense love." He said stutteredwalking backwards. So now he's got British accent huh? "We should talkabout business, not about my lovely eyes."

"Business? What business? That you are here to abduct Jay Olsen?"

"No. No. You get it wrong. I'm here to give you a message."

"Oh a message you say. Go ahead." I said moving my hand back andforth while leaning on the kitchen counter.

"Umm. My boss- -"

"Your boss?"

"He umm-- that he--"

"That he....?"

"That he we will be waiting for you. Yeah he's waiting for you to reachhim." He said. I stood up. The hell! I thought he was some burglar.

"What did you just say?" I asked through my teeth.

"Do you need hearing aid love? I said he is waiting for you to reach him.And he also said that you might need to keep an extra eye on Jay. You mightnever know when your Jay would be gone forever."

"You, son of a bitch!" I removed my gun from back where it was tuckedin. I pointed my gun at him putting off the safety. "You wanna say thatagain! You think you can come here take him from under my nose huh? You betterthink that again."

"W-well y-you should think again about pointing that gun at m-me." Hestuttered.

"Should I now?"

"If I die it will be end of Jay, so put your gun down."

"Oh really?" I said hoping that Jay was is still in game room.

"Y-yes r-rea-ally."

"Jay is very much safe right now but you, I don't think I can say the sameabout you." I said setting my gun at target. A headshot, direct death.

"Giara! Put down the gun!!!" Jay shouted running into the kitchenwith Marcus.

"Jay? What the hell are you doing. Stay back and take cover! Rightnow!" I screamed at him when he started heading towards us.

"No. Giara stop! He is harmless!"

"Harmless? Oh he would be lifeless in seconds. I wouldn't mind sendingyour dead body as a gift to your dear boss." I hissed at him and hestarted shaking again.

"No. Stop. Stop! It's a prank! It's a prank Giara! Stop! George removeyour mask before she kills you!" As he said the intruder aka Georgeremoved his mask and earpiece revealing his face.

"It's me Ms. Edwards!" He said. I loweredโ€‹ my gun. He sighed inrelief. I tucked my gun back in my pants.

"Well that was a great twist." Bob said making me more annoyedthan I was. I removed the earpiece and slamming it on the kitchen countermaking everyone flinched.

"Giara I- -" Jay started.

"George can you get me a glass of water please?" I said cutting offJay.

"S-sure." He walked towards the fridge to fetch water, I turnedtowards Jay and Marcus.

"It was a silly prank pretty lady, harmless." Marcus stated.

"Well I don't think it was harmless since my gun was pointed at George'shead." I said calmly.

"Water Ms. Edwards." George said handing me the glass.

"Thank you." I emptied the glass in one go. Handing the glass back toGeorge I said. "I thought you were mature and wise enough to be a part ofthis prank George. I'm pretty sure Mr. Olsen didn't hire you to play somepranks and put someone's or your life in danger." He flinched at the hirepart. I don't care if his feelings are hurt. He should know that whatever hedid was wrong.

"I am disappointed." I shook my head at him and started making my wayout.

"Giara stop. It wasn't his mistake. It was my plan. I forced him to doit." Jay said following me.

"I'm pretty sure he is wise and old enough to know what is wrong and whatis right." I continued walking.

"Don't be a such buzzkill Giara! It was a silly prank. You don't need tobe a sore thumb!"

"A silly prank!!" I hissed turning back. "That silly prank mademe rush here thinking that you were in danger! That something bad happened toyou! You don't knowโ€‹ what danger are you in! You don't know how worried I waswhen Bob said there was a intruder in your house! You don't know that yoursilly prank almost killed George!" I was so angry that I wanted to punchhis stupid face but I couldn't so I took the other option and punch the pillarbeside me making my skin tear up again.

The blood was oozing out from the wound, my chest burning with all the shoutingthat I did in one breath. Jay, Marcus and George were staring at me with theirmouth wide open.

"You are crazy." Jay said taking my uninjured hand and pulling me godknows where. I didn't complain, I had no energy to do that after my burst out.He took me to his room. "Sit." He said pointing towards his bed andwalked into his bathroom. I don't know what he was thinking ordering me aroundlike that. I'll talk to him when I'll have enough energy.

I was too engrossed in my own thoughts that I didn't notice that he waskneeling in front of me with first aid box beside him.

"Give me your hand." He commanded with holding cotton to clean up mywound. I gave him my hand, he poured some antiseptic on the cotton. "Thismight hurt a little." He said before starting to clean my wound. I didn'teven flinched. I was used to all burning, everyday I would have a new injurythat needed to be treated. This wasn't new to me.

"It wasn't George's fault Giara. I made him do it." He said whilecontinuing to treat my hand.

"But why? You do know that this isn't some joke Jay. There is man outthere looking for you. Wants you dead! This is not something to jokeabout."

"I thought it was harmless. We were having so good time laughing andplaying games and you just had to leave."

"But I said I was coming back. Why would you do something like this?"He was silent, just continued to wrap my hand in bandage. Once he was done withwrapping I asked him again why he would do something like that.

"I was jealous."

"Jealous? What? Why?" I was confused now. Why would he be jealous?

"Y-yes. When we were in game room you got a text from coach about meetinghim. When you left my brain started creating scenarios of you bothki-kis-kissing and you calling him sexy hunk and all sort of things that Irather not speak of. So, not wanting you to spend time with him, I called youmaking up some excuse of wanting to go to library so you would come back but itfailed miserably. So we came up with another plan which worked as well asfailed at the same time. I didn't thought that our prank would hurtsomeone." He mumbled out the last part eyeing my hands then looked up tosee me staring at him trying to control my laughter but I couldn't anymore. Ibusted out laughing, tears were rolling down my cheeks from laughing so hard.

"Y-you are v-very funny and damn crazy, boy." I said wiping mycheeks. "Why would you think that? Even though I called Anthony sexy andall but I'm pretty sure he thinks of me as a little sister." I snorted. Meand Anthony? Never. Jay just pouted like a kid. "I can't just believe youright now. Why would you get so jealous, it's not like you like me likethat." I started laughing again. I look back to his face to see himstaring at me with an unknown look.

"What?" I asked.

"Oh I am just wondering how you can be intelligent and so stupid at thesame time."

"Huh?"

"I like you dumb head."

"L-like m-me?"

"Yeah I like like you." He said smiling shyly and taking my hands inhis.

"What?" No, he can't, he shouldn't in first place. What's there tolike? This can't be happening. He is not suppose to like me. I mean there isnothing in me. I'm not even his type. I'm not a girly girl. He, himself callsme she-man. I don't paint my nails and gossip. I ride a bike and eat like abarbarian. I'm not in my bed at night writing in a diary instead I'm at somebar killing people. I don't wear makeup and skirts. I wear jeans and blood. Hedon't need someone like me. I don't deserve his liking. I don't deserve him. Wecan never- no he shouldn't like me. I have to stop this. So I did the onlything I know.

"So?" I said pulling back my hands from him. "I'm flattered andall but I don't exactly reincorporate the feelings. I mean I'm not here to careabout who likes me or not. I'm here to do my job and my commander wrong. Youhave to know that I'm friendly because I want you to cooperate with me since itmakes my job easier. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. And you justgot out of a relationship, I think you are just vulnerable making you thinkthat you like me. Give it two days you'll be fine." When I finishedtalking, I stood up and dusted my pants. "Thank you for this." I saidholding up my now bandaged hand.

He was sitting there staring at nothing. I knew I had hurt him enough to hateme. I hope whatever I did is right. With that I turned around and left theroom.
