"You're coming with me on a mission." Malakai said when he called 2 hours ago. This was probably her second mission after the fight with Malakai 3 days ago. Why Malakai was coming with her was a mystery to her. She was on her way to the agency building when she spotted Astrid also going in the same direction. She called out her name and caught up to her. "Hey Eden. What's up?" Astrid said as they both went through security together taking off their gear etc. "Nothing really. Got a mission with Malakai." She said putting her gear back on. "With Malakai? What do you mean?" Astrid asked, doing the same. "I mean Malakai wants me to go on a mission with him. Is that weird? I mean we went together on one before too." Eden replied, both of them walked to the lounge area now. "Kind of yeah. Malakai never goes on missions, let alone with any agents. His only job is giving orders." That's weird, why does Malakai want to go with her then? "I'll see you round, I have to meet someone.
"Need I remind you about the Eleanor Park case you messed up." No, Eden didn't need to be reminded. "If you were so worried I'd mess up, why not send a more experienced agent. Like I don't know, Alec? Who's been doing this for 8 fucking years." Eden went back on the damn topic of Alec and it was annoying Malakai. "Because you need to learn to do jobs like this. And what's with Alec? If you really want I'll turn back and make him go with you." Malakai said with a clenched jaw and frustration dripping from his voice. Eden gave no reply, thankfully, so Malakai continued driving. The rest of the drive was silent until they reached a warehouse on the outskirts of the city. It looked vacant, but I guess that was the point. "This gang isn't any big shot gang, but it has around 300 to 500 members. The outside isn't well guarded because they have traps around. The guy who called me turned them off for now so we could get in." Malakai explained as the two casually walked to the entrance
It took Eden a little too long to collect herself and move away from Malakai who was now staring the dozen men in the eyes. "We're fucked Malakai." Eden whispered, her hand on his gun again. "This wasn't the plan. We were supposed to walk out of here without a scratch." Malakai whispered back, his hands also ready to grab his weapons. "Park’s men maybe?" Eden asked. "Of course Park was involved with gangs. Just what we needed." The frustration was clear in his voice. "Look, we don't care that you killed our guy. In fact you did us a favour cuz we all knew about the bastard that he was. But we were ordered by Park's temporary successor to kill you on sight." One of the men spoke. It seemed like he was the ringleader. "We did you a favour with Park too." Malakai said but of course Eden had objections. "I did. I did you a favour." Okay that's it, Eden was borderline insane, Malakai thought. He looked at the blond with a 'what the fuck are you doing' face. "No I did. I'm t
Malakai waited for about 15 minutes until Alec's car pulled up beside him. He greeted Alec and got into the passenger seat. "Eden really took your car huh?" Alec said while trying not to laugh. "This isn't funny. You know I don't like anyone touching my car." Malakai said, rolling his eyes. His car was his prized possession and Eden just took the keys right out of his hands. "I don't know if I can tell you about Eden. I mean it's really not my place, but she had an ex boyfriend that used to control her all the time, and would even abuse Eden. It was only mentally and verbally at the beginning but it became physical. He used to control what Eden would wear, where she would go, who she would do with. All down to what Eden would eat. She never left him because she was scared of what he would do, since he threatened a lot of things. In the end she did though, thanks to her cousin." Alec said. Alec explained the story, he didn't go into too much detail since it really wasn't his pla
Eden woke up with a pounding headache. She had way too much to drink last night. She was in her bed and looked down to see Astrid sprawled out on her floor. She looked like she fell from the bed last night. The blond sat up and at once, memories started invading her mind. She remembered Malakai's words, him kissing her neck and then dragging her to the dance floor. She remembered Malakai's hands on his waist, Eden's back against Malakai's chest as Eden's own arms were around Malakai's neck. She remembered dancing sensually to the music, she remembered Malakai's hands exploring her body. And before she could remember anymore, a groan came from the floor, or more specifically, the girl on her floor who seemed like she just woke up. "Give me a sec Addi, I'll give you some aspirin." Eden said and she got another groan in response. It took Eden a good 5 minutes to leave the bed. She went to her kitchen and found some aspirin in one of the drawers and got two bottles of water from
She left her apartment in Malakai's car and arrived at the agency in 10 minutes. God she loved this car, she really wanted to keep it but she knew she couldn't. She had to return it at some point, but only when Malakai asked for it. "I'm really tempted to steal your laptop." Eden said when she walked in. All Malakai ever did was work, and she didn't even know what. The actual work his agents did so what did Malakai do except receive missions. "I'd love to see you try." Malakai said, looking up to the blond. Eden came and sat down on Malakai's desk trying to see what the older man was doing. "You don't understand a thing do you?" Malakai asked when he saw the clear confusion on his face. Eden just shook her head. "They're files. Of a hundred different things. Orders I've given, bills, finances. Even agents' files, I have your file somewhere here but I can't seem to find it." Malakai said and when he saw Eden trying to reach for his laptop, he shut it. "I just wanna see my fil
"So he didn't say anything after that?" Astrid asked loudly as she kept shooting. "Nope. Just kissed me and when he was going to say something, some agents came in to report to him and I excused myself." Eden answered as she also kept shooting at her target. Malakai had sent Astrid and Eden on a mission together to kill a bunch of people who were working against their gang. More gang shit basically. And Eden and Astrid were having this conversation mid shootout. Yep, sounds like them. "At least now you know what you said was nothing, is definitely something." Astrid was getting more happy than Eden and it was weird. "You seem more happy than me." Eden said with a smile and looked at the other. Their targets were all dead. "Yeah I don't know why. Gossip maybe." Astrid shrugged and they both decided to get out of there. Eden just rolled her eyes at the response. "But E, be careful. I mean, Malakai is dangerous, everyone knows that." Astrid might've been happy for Eden but she was
"Thank god." Malakai sighed with a smile and Eden was confused. "What do you mean thank god?" Eden's arms went around Malakai's neck and with every second, the two somehow found a way to become even closer. "I really shouldn't tell you. I'm his best friend and he's entrusted me with a piece of information that is to remain classified." Eden rolled her eyes at Malakai's professionalism on this topic of all things. "I can gladly leave." Eden said, but she didn't mean it but still she was starting to get off Malakai's lap until the other pulled her back. "I'll tell you, but you can't disclose it and you can't show that you know. And we'll talk about you rolling your eyes at me again, even though I'm pretty sure I already warned you." Malakai said
