Giara's POV.

"Thank you so much Melissa." I said.

"Oh, you don't need to thank me." She said waving off before taking my hand in hers. "Giara, just take care of our Jay. He is very kind and naive. He trusts people too easily."

"Don't worry about him Melissa. That's what I am here for." I said patting her hand.

"Are you done yet?" Jay questioned walking towards us.

"Yes we are done boy. Take your girl and buzz off." Melissa replied pushing me towards him.

"What now? You don't care about me?" Jay asked narrowing his eyes at Melissa.

"Well now I know you are in good hands." Melissa shrugged in return.

"Whatever." He rolled his eyes. "Come on we are hungry." He said walking off.

"Bye Jay!" Melissa shouted laughing at him. "Bye Giara and don't forget to visit me."

"Bye." I smiled and nodded.

"Mark we are leaving!" Jay shouted.

"Where is he?" I questioned.

"Where do you think?"

"Seriously Jay? I was about to get her number!" Marcus huffed opening the glass door to exit the boutique.

"Mark she isolder than you." Jay stated.

"So?" Marcus questioned.

"Never mind." Jay shocked his head and turned towards me. "Wouldyou mind unlocking the car? I am hungry and I want to go home." I noddedunlocking the car and getting in.

I pulled brakes before shutting off the engine and getting off with Marcus andJay following behind.

"Here." Jay said handing me the bag that contained my dress whichMelissa said, no stated that it was just made for me.

"Thanks." I said.

"Oh! Show me! Show me!" Marcus tried peeking.

"Nope. You can see it tomorrow." I said pulling the bag behind me.

"Okay." He pouted.

"I'll be downstairs. Inform me if you are going outside." I said toJay but he just walked off making me roll eyes.

"Pretty ladddyyyyy........."

"Yes Marcus?"

"Would you mind dropping me off at home?"

"Yes."

"But pretty lady....." He whined.

"You have a car you can drop yourself at home." I said following Jayinside.

"FINE." He shouted, I just chuckled and walked in.

"Ms. Edwards." George greeted. "Do you need refreshment?"

"No, I'm fine. Thanks George." I nodded and made my way towardssecurity room.

"Hey Bob!" I greeted walking in and placing myself on the rollingchair before rolling it beside Bob who was munching on some chips and eyeingthe monitors.

"Hey Giara." He said glancing at me before turning back his attentiontowards monitors.

"Bob? I still don't get it. How you didn't notice it was George. I mean Iget there's no cameras in bedrooms but still security in here is quite goodaccording to my sources. Then how did you thought an outsider sneaked in?"I questioned turning towards him. He stopped munching and gulped.

"I hoped you wouldn't bring that up." He said.

"I would be a fool to not bring that up. I mean I already have been fooledand it was my mistake for not thinking rationally. But you could've used yourbrain Bob."

"I know. But when I took a little break and came back to see someonewandering with face covered and knife in hand I panicked so I thought informingyou would be suitable and he did looked harmless." Bob reasoned.

"Of course he looked harmless! He was George. George couldn't even hurt afly. Do you think he'll be harmful." I said throwing up my hands.

"No but you did point your gun at him." He blamed.

"That I did." I nodded. "The message and his words were just acoincidence or maybe not." I whispered rolling the chair around.

"Message? Did Jay received another message?" Bob questioned.

"That's confidential. You keep your eyes open." I ordered.

*Ringggggg Ringggg*

Charlie? "Excuse me." I excused myself exiting the security roombefore answering the call.

"Yes Charlie?"

"Oh I love it when you call me that." He spoke making me rollmy eyes.

"Straight to business please."

"As you wish love. I wanted all the information about the stalker. Andwhen I say all I mean all." He said emphasizing on all.

"Fine, you'll receive it but work must be done." I demanded.

"Oh don't worry about that it'll be done in just matter of time. Justdon't forget about our deal Ms. Edwards." I can imagine him smirkingon the other side.

"I won't." With that I ended the call.

I hope he gets the work done and I end this mission for once and all. I shouldhurry before something else happens.

*Next day, before party.*

"I look good." I said fixing the dress, looking in the mirror. Inodded before picking up the little bottle of liquid eyeliner. Opening thebottle, I slide the tiny brush on the edge of my eyelid. The thin black linehighlighted my blue eyes. Then I picked up the nude coloured lipstick, hmm nottoo boldly. I smacked my lips after applying it to make it evenly spread.

"Hmmm I do look pretty." It isn't my first time, getting all dolledup. I've been on many missions where I had to disguise myself into a finelooking lady, a sexy woman to get through a bar and assassinate my target.

"Yo G! You ready?" Jack knocked on my door.

"Yep! Coming, just a sec!" I shouted back before giving myself a lastlook in the mirror, I left my room.

"So who is dropping me off?"

"Me." Alec said looking up from the T.V.

"Damn girl, you cleaned up well." Jack complimented.

"Thank you." I bowed a little. "Let's go Alec."

"Okay." He stood up dusting his pants and walked outside towards hiscar. "My lady." He said while opening the door for me.

"Why, thank you kind sir." I bowed again and got into the passenger'sseat chuckling.

"You look beautiful." Alec said as he settled in the driver's seatand started the engine.

"Thank you!" I smiled and texted Charlie asking if he received theinformation that I had sent.

Giara:
Did you received it?

Charlie:
Yeah, I did, love. ;)

Giara:
Okay.

"Who are you texting?" Alec asked glancing at me.

"Extra sources." I replied locking my cellphone before pushing itinto my black clutch.

"Extra sources?" He questioned raising his eyebrow.

"Yeah. By the way, you wouldn't believe who I met at Jay's school." Iquickly changed the subject not wanting him to question me on 'extra sources'.

"Who?" He questioned just like I wanted him to.

"Anthony." I grinned.

"Anthony? You mean our Anthony?" I nodded grinning. "What theheck?" Car was filled with Alec's booming laughter.

"Don't tell me he is a janitor." He said chuckling.

"Nope. A teacher actually. He teaches physical education." I repliedchuckling too.

"I can't believe it. I mean when he said that he'll pick a manly job, Ithought he meant firefighter or something like that but not a high schoolteacher." He laughed.

"I know. He says handling teens is more difficult."

"Yeah, ordering them to play dodgeball is a difficult job." He saidchuckling.

"Whatever it is, I'm glad he is well and happy." I said smiling.

"Yes." He nodded. "Your extra sources isn't Anthony right?"He questioned. Damn it, we agents are too smart for our own good. "If heis. You know the rules and what had happened - - "

"Nope he isn't. But he did helped me with it. And yes I know what are therules. But don't you know rules are meant to be broken." I smirked.

"G, it's not about being rebellious. It's the question about someone'slife." He said.

"I know. I just asked him if knew any good trackers. He gave a address andfull stop. Not other contact and involvement."

"Okay, but it's better safe than sorry right?"

"Yeah, don't worry about it."

"If I hadn't knew any better. I would think you are trying to wind up thiscase." He said glancing at me through rear view mirror.

"I just want to prove myself to commander that's all."

"Giara, you don't have to prove anyone. He knows your worth G. You are hisdaughter." He said.

"Daughter?" I chuckled bitterly. "You don't know anythingAlec." After that nobody uttered a word until we reached the mansion.

"Good luck." He waved and took off with me entering the mansion.
