"Hold on tighter," he said and at first, I was confused but when he drove his motor quickly, my hands automatically held on his shirt tighter.
In less than half an hour, we immediately reached our route and two cars were parked outside. Henry parked his motor while I, looking intently and observing the whole place and waited for him. Nothing changed except for the left side of the place.
There is a lot of pieces of rocks on the ground and the wall has a hole in it as if it was punched. I can even see droplets of blood which made me freak inside. And the only person I could think of was... Valkyrie.
"Because of your stubbornness and disobedience, Val hit that wall out of frustration. You should thank him for being patient and still, he didn't kill you."
My eyes widened on what he just said and my heartbeat became faster when Val appeared in front of us, walking with that authoritative aura and strong presence. I gulped and all of a sudden, my stomach twitched out of fear. I suddenly want to run away from this place right now.
I clenched my fists and gasped for air when he walked past me and attended to Henry. I didn't turn around and remained standing like a statue. I could feel my feet trembling but I stood still. When I heard someone's footsteps near me, my heart pounded faster than ever!
"You look like a young girl who was scared of her teacher. It's okay. Just don't pee on your pants," Henry suddenly whispered teasingly and chuckled. All my hair went up and felt goosebumps because of his breath on my ears. I couldn't even care about his teases.
When his hands touched my shoulder, pushing me with him to come inside, I couldn't help but feel sudden electricity going down to my spine. I pushed him away and started walking away, leaving him there outside.
I immediately went straight to the office and Shirley was already there, sitting on her chair while crossing her arms and being irritated by Rother. Rother, on the other hand, standing in front of her, making a face and saying some ridiculous things to her.
"Do you wanna die?!" Shirley suddenly screamed and punched his face. Rother didn't expect it as he can't avoid it and fell to the ground because of the strong impact.
He looked at her, eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what she had just done to him. I clicked my tongue and I quickly caught their attention as their heads turned to me and Shirley's mood suddenly went down while Rother didn't bother seeing me but his eyes were as if telling me to help him so I didn't. Unworthy of my helping hand.
Shirley then sat down and rolled her eyes. "Could you, please, at least entertain your guest?"
"Cut the nonsense things and stay quiet as you were before," Shirley blurted.
"Oh, I wasn't. Don't you remember? I talked too much and wasted my saliva, talking and fighting back to you. But now, I learned my lesson so I'll just my mind own business here and that is staying loud."
"What the fuck did you just—"
"Cut it, you two!" Henry suddenly appeared in front of us and stood in between as if a referee.
I just scoffed and sat on my own chair. Not long enough, Val entered the office and everyone was extremely quiet as ever. And Rother surprisingly did survive for the whole time we were listening to Val's discussion about the mission.
"As it was before, Rother will not attend with you since the thing I asked him to do hasn't finished yet. In your cases, you three, Dilly will only be the lookout and Henry will be with Shirley to do their jobs," he fiercely explained and looked at me straight in the eye. "I'm afraid I couldn't keep you in the hospital again, Dilly." His baritone voice shook all my insides and I could feel my hands start to tremble again.
I should've been more patient, I guess.

THIRD POV
Everything was set. Henry and Shirley were already going inside of the house of the target, making their moves and doing their jobs quietly as possible. Dilly, on the other side, was just sitting and slightly sneaking her head out in the window, scared enough that someone would notice her—the car wasn't heavily tinted so she must really be careful.
Meanwhile, a man was standing on a roof just a kilometer away from the car, preparing his babies for a shoot-out. "Henry and my Shirley babes were already going inside and Dilly's still inside of the car. Everything would go smoothly and there's nothing to worry about so why—" Rother said over the phone on his side while taking a look at the surroundings through his telescopic sight in the sniper he was holding.
"Are you trying to disobey me now, Rother?" Val said in a low monotone.
Rother swallowed hard. He couldn't resist and had no choice but to obey his commands. After all, Val is the boss and he's just a member that must obey the boss.
Going back to the two, Henry and Shirley already reached the office room where the target was. Shirley nodded at Henry and Henry immediately understood it. He kicked the door and pointed his gun at the target who was just sitting on his swivel chair, chilling and sipping on his whiskey. His eyes widened when he saw Henry standing and holding a gun. Shirley, standing beside the door and holding her pistol, effortlessly shot the ground near their car that Dilly was staying in. She smirked as she succeeded to take the attention of the minions and they immediately moved into the car.
Some of them, moved upstairs where they both, Shirley and Henry, were in. She shot them without any hesitation and mercy. "Hurry up, they're going upstairs here now. Don't waste my effort," she whispered through the bug mic.
"Yeah, already finished. Let's go." Henry lazily pulled the target with him who was just silently trembling. They walked quietly until Henry noticed what Shirley did. "What the fuck did you just do, Shirley?!" he exclaimed and pushed the target to her before running away to attend to Dilly.
