"AAND IT GOES LIKE SKRRRTTT SKRRRT AND YOU SHOULD LOOK THE DRIFT - IT'S AWESOME AND WE ZWOOOSSSSHHHH AND BACK TO SAFETY~"

Kaizo have to hold the urge to facepalm, not understanding the point of the story.

Cyclone finished his alien explanation with hands clapped together, silently praying the old butler before him to believes him. Of course they're mostly true except the part where he go to the arcade. He didn't tell him about that.

"So in short, he saved you from the cops because you ditched school ?"

"YE--WAIT IM NOT DITCHING-"

"He actually understands?" the old man cast a glance at Kaizo which he instantly keeps his mouth sealed with an awkward smile.

"Kassim,"

"Yes?"

"You're in for the job." the old man stated, turning his back to him. "Come to my room soon. I'll give you a brief." With that he walks up the stairs, leaving the duo in bewilderment.

"U-u-uhm, I'll be under your care then...Big bro Kassim?" Cyclone held his hand out awkwardly, his other hand scratching his cheek. "I don't even know they're actually hiring a bodyguard for me...he..he."

"Just call me Kassim. Likewise, hope you're behaving yourself." Kaizo accept his handshake. So from now on, he will be referred as Kassim.

"Can I ask though?" Cyclone released his hand, the mischief is now replaced with a serious gaze in his round chill blue eyes. "You said earlier at the bus stop, you want to earn a job. A clean money for your life."

Kaizo nodded, slightly thrown off guard from his shift of attitude. He did mention it to him, instead asking for compensation for his car, he manage to convince Cyclone on getting him into the job; earning money from an honest and clean life instead of threatening minors- which what he did seconds beforehand. Now properly thinking of it, the excuse seem a bit lousy than he expected but Cyclone seem to care less about it at the time.

Boy, he was wrong for assuming.

"What if, the salary that pay to you actually gained from the hands that are corrupted?" he questioned, " You still do a good deed, but does the money still consider clean?"

"Yes." Kaizo answered, red clashed with his blue hues. " Only if you choose to ignore it." he finished, walking up the staircases towards the room where the old man ask him to come to.

"Ignorance is a bliss, but how long will you blind yourself?" Kaizo's left his statement hanging in the air as Cyclone choose to remain silent. Analysing the man peculiar reaction. His lips pursed as he walk back to his room.

"Sure, a bliss it is."

The first day of his undercover mission begins.

One thing for sure this is the highest stakes of game rock-paper-scissors he ever played.

"This is a violation of human rights."

"Then I won't help you bring the toilet papers."

Kaizo groan loudly in protest, having no choice but to give it in. If the kid wins, he can use his car on road to flex on his arcade-trained driving skills but if he loses he bring the toilet papers which he purposely hid it for the matter.

Cyclone grins as Kaizo's hand pop out behind the doors. The man tilt his head to see from the small door gap he open, red eyes glaring up at him.

"I only ask for a damn tissue. So either you win or lose just bring it to me."

"Your wish is my command, oh lordy loo."

"YOU LIL' PUNK-!"

Cyclone naruto run around the corridors, succeeding to prank Kaizo by changing white crayons into his cigarette box which the reason of why the white wax decorating his suit.

"SMOKING IS BAD!" Cyclone hollered, turning and enter a room. Kaizo follow suit, only to run face first into the transparent plastic wrap and falling down with a confused screech.

Blaze and Thorn broke into fit of laughters, recording that very scene.

"CY-CY!! YOU SHOULD LOOK AT HIS FACE-!"
"OOOHAHAHA I-I JUST C-CANT-!!"
"BAHAHAH HIS TONGUE STICK OUT WHEN HE SLAMMED IT!"

He never felt this much exhaustion since after his training camp for years. Amato's spawn torturing him from one prank to another, he swore he never fell as humiliated as this. Falling onto his bed, the soft matress provide him a moment of good rest. In the span of two seconds, he is deep in his sleep while lying on his stomache.

Toss and turn, he is uncomfartable with the ungodly amount of sweat drenching him. Did he forgot to turn on the air-con? His body feels like floating on air and for sure he doesn't like the feel of it. He blinks his eyes at the sudden amount of sunlight he gets, slowly sitting up.

Rubbing the sleep away from his eyes, he take in his surroundings.

Great.

In the middle of the lake riding on a striking yellow duck boat and getting hydrated.

"Kaizo. You do aware how high our hopes on you, do you?"

Kokoci massaging his forehead, reading his offences record.

"Stealing a duck boat, swimming in a park lake, violating the traffic light, breaking the speed limit and crashing into a fire hydrant. And you're a police."

"You forgot to add babysitting the satan's spawn in the list." Kaizo lean in his seat, mentally sighing.

"He really keeps his 'Big Bro Kassim' occupied, I see." Fang teases only to get a kick to the knee by Kaizo.

"I want to hear informations next time Kaizo. Infiltrate the place quick." Kokoci stood up taking his leave.

"I will." Kaizo replied, a sigh finally escaped his lips. He need to find a way to keep Cyclone from bugging him.

Before he knew it, weeks has passed since then.

They stopped at Rintis High, it had been one of his daily chores now to send and pick Cyclone up from school. Glancing at the half asleep school boy at the back seat, he slam the horn button.

"You have arrived at your destination, now please get off."

"Gee, you're always so cold." Cyclone babbled, rubbing the blurriness from his eyes. "Wanna hear a joke?"

"Life is already a joke to me. Make it quick." Kaizo sighed, tapping his fingers on the steering.

Cyclone grins, leaning his head at the shoulder side of the driver's seat. "What did the buffalo say to his son when he dropped him off at school?"

"Mooove away?" Kaizo answered. Cyclone snorted at his tone.

"Nope," he said, emphasis on the 'P'. "he said, 'Bison'." Leaping out from the car, he waves at Kaizo before spotting his group and greet them. Kaizo stayed there for a moment before finally getting the joke to sink in.

"Should've said that to your dad."

A certain student staring at the car while his hands typing something unto his phone.

'Confirmed. They installed someone for the target.'

-unknown number-

"Something's up, Sol?" his companion asked, nudging the latter's arm. Solar shrugged, tilting his head towards the car.

"Say hi to our guest, Thund."
