Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Unexpected date
ARMY BASE
"I must congratulate you, Director Sara, for the great successful mission your students had," the army general says as he grabs an envelope to hand it to Director Sara, who is sitting across from him.
"You're welcome, General. Thank you for trusting them despite them being only teenagers," Sara says as she takes the envelope and then gets up to leave since the general only called her to congratulate her.
"Wait a moment, Sara, take this too," the general says as he grabs some files to hand them to Sara, who takes them but can't help but look at the general after seeing a name she finds familiar in those files.
"General, what is this?" Sara asks with a serious look and tone of voice as she watches the general stand up, turning his back to the director who was waiting for an answer to her question.
"Sara, that's for THE REAPER, and tell him that no one will know anything about Erick and John, so he can rest assured on that matter," the general replies after turning around and looking at Sara, who is surprised to see that he knows who they are, but then she smiles and leaves the general's office.
Sara was leaving the army base thinking that if it weren't for the general knowing Raizor's reasons for returning to the war overnight, they would most likely have already discovered who he is, and everything would have ended a long time ago.
"I see the talk with the general went well," the commander says to Sara before she leaves, though she just smiles and gets into her car, then rolls down her window and looks at the commander before driving off.
"Commander, remember that those words I told you earlier can still come true, so be careful with your actions," Sara says as she puts on her black sunglasses and closes the window before starting her car and leaving, leaving the commander somewhat nervous about what she said.
"Well, I guess I'll have to go see them to deliver this to Raizor," Sara says in her mind as she heads towards the house where Raizor, Erick, John, Lena, Jack, Emma, and Euphi are living.
BOYS' HOUSE
"Sometimes I wonder if we are really living with girls from important families or if they just pretend when they are at the academy," John said to himself after getting up and seeing how the girls' rooms were a bit messy, but he ignores it since it's their way of living so he has no right to comment.
On the other hand, when John headed to the living room, he saw Raizor and Erick awake with Lena also there, but the rest were missing, which caught his attention.
"Finally, you're awake, I resisted the urge to go and knock you out of bed," Raizor says with a smile as he looks at John who sits up yawning and starts eating his breakfast since Lena prepared it for everyone.
After everyone had breakfast, Erick and John went to see a place that was off-limits to people due to a supposed dark magic control attempt failure made by scientists on three people.
Lena and Raizor stayed alone in the house since Emma, Jack, and Euphi had gone to their parents' house to spend the day with them, although Lena was the only one who wanted to stay with the boys since her parents are out of the country.
"What's bothering you, Lena?" Raizor asks as he sits next to Lena on the couch, seeing how she instantly smiles at his question, trying to avoid the topic, but then she feels Raizor's hand grabbing hers, giving her the confidence to tell him.
"I'm worried about my family, I'm afraid something might happen to them on their trip to England since they have to go through China... I don't want to lose them," Lena replies with some tears coming out of her eyes, but then she feels Raizor's hand wiping them away, making her look directly into his eyes, which causes a slight blush on her face.
"Don't think that will happen, have confidence that nothing bad will happen to them, and remember that if something does happen, I'll do whatever it takes to get them back," Raizor says with a smile, surprising and at the same time making Lena happy as she leans against his chest, causing him to blush a little.
Before Lena dared to kiss Raizor, the doorbell rang, surprising them and causing them to separate, embarrassed, not to mention that both were blushing, but Lena more than Raizor, who got up to answer the door.
"Sara, what brings you here?" Raizor says as he lets Sara in, who greets Lena, who offers her something to drink, but the director tells her she just came to deliver something to Raizor and leaves.
"I came to give you this, Raizor, apparently the army general knows why you came back and gave you a hand," Sara says as she hands Raizor the envelope containing the files of people he needs to find.
"I don't know whether to worry or thank him," Raizor says with a nervous smile as he leaves the files on the table and then accompanies Sara to her car.
"Keep in mind one more thing, Raizor, the army detected the presence of that guy you encountered in the United States five years ago," Sara says as she gets into her car, watching Raizor not surprised, but rather looking worriedly towards the army base.
"That means the general prevented them from suspecting anything," Raizor says as he glances at Sara who puts on her glasses and starts her car.
"It seems so, but well, enjoy your vacation, and by the way, take Lena somewhere so she gets out of that house at least once," Sara says with a smile as she rolls up the window and then leaves, leaving Raizor thinking about what she said about going out.
Raizor went back inside the house and saw Lena watching TV sitting like a little girl, causing him to blush at how cute she looks even like that.
"Hey Lena, would you like to go on a date with me?" Raizor asks blushing, something that surprised Lena who also blushes upon hearing his question, but then she gets up and smiles at him.
"Of course," Lena replies with a smile as she rushes to her room to change, while Raizor also goes to his room to change.
Lena put on a leather jacket, underneath it she wore a white shirt, black long pants, and black sneakers with red stripes, also putting on a necklace that her mother gave her when she was younger.
On Raizor's side, he wore a black coat, underneath a blue shirt, black long pants identical to Lena's, and white sneakers with black stripes.
Both left the house and went to the mall to walk around, eat something, and above all have fun since Raizor knows that he also has to try to make Lena not think that something bad will happen to her family since he is aware that there is a possibility that something might happen, but if that happens, as he told her, THE REAPER will act if necessary.
