Another day,another job.

Ali is licking his lollipop as the boss counted the money as for his payment.

He did a very good job today despite of being injured.

Let's name the boss as Liam.

Liam glanced at Ali as he is counting his payment.

'Iris' really good at doing a very excellent job.

Liam: There you go. RM 3000, as promised.*put the envelope on the table*

Ali casually take the envelope and secured it in his zipped jacket.

Ali: Thanks boss. Feel free to contact me again if you have another deal to work on.

As he turn back to walk,Liam call him back. Ali turned his head to Liam.

Ali: Anything else,boss?

Liam:*shake head* No,not much. I just curious.

Ali: curious of what?

Liam leaned back on his king-like chair.

Liam: About you Iris.

Ali let out a small sigh before turning back to Liam.

Ali: What's make you curious about me?

Liam: Well,you look kinda young to begin with.

Ali: *lied* I am freaking 19.

Liam: Yeah but you sure doesn't look like it.

Ali: *sigh* As long as I capable to do my job,does it really matter?

Liam: Not at all.*smirk*

Ali throw his lollipop stick and put his hands inside his pocket.

Ali: Anything else boss? I really need to be somewhere right now it's me time.

Liam: Ah,yes. You may go,Iris. We will contact you for the next task.

Ali: Sure do. *Two fingers salute*

Ali hop on his surfer and fly away from the creepy mansion.

To he honest,he doesn't like Liam,but he really do give extra payment for him.

Liam has this creepy vibes around him and Ali want to stay away from him.

But yeah,money is money.

As he got out from the bad side of Cyberraya,he keep his surfer and start walking. He haven't eat anything today and walking home right now would be boring.

Ali:*smirk* Might as well challenge some of my luck today.

Ah,yes.

Despite of afraid of being followed or tracked,Ali sure do love challenging his luck.

By this I mean by going into mall or food court without mask or his hoodie.

Hah,MATA agent's are dumb anyway.

So,before entering the busy city,Ali take off his dark blue hoodie and tied in around his waist. He finger-comb his hair to look more presentable before going in.

Ali: Hoho,today will be fun.*smirk*

He entered the mall and immediately go to the tool store. He need new tools anyway and his water pipe is broken he need new stuff.

Ali put all of the brand-new tools on the counter and let the cashier check them out.

...: You look familiar. Have we met?

Ali just glanced at the cashier.

It's a boy around his age. He closely look at the nametag.

Boy.

Wow,so he take a part-time job now?

And his communication skills has improved.

Ali: Nah. Me? I'm new here and I don't think we have met. Why else do you think I bought all the tools?

Boy seems to believe him and shrug it off. After paying for the stuff,Ali goes to another store to buy a backpack.

His old mission beg,not the red one,was burned beyond compared.

So he bought another bag,put his tools in the back and carry it off.

Wow,luck must be on his side today since there are not agents and his enemy around.

Ali: A good day is having a good start~ I knew it wasn't wrong to help that poor lady crossing the street~*hummed*

Ali happily skipped around the mall and eventually land himself at the food court.

He entered the court,pick the farthest table from people and patiently wait for the waiter to take his order.

After a few minutes,a middle age woman come to him.

Waiter: Good afternoon dear,may I take your order?

Ali:*look at the menu* Good afternoon ma'am. May I have the Hot Cocoa with marshmellow and Warm Chocolate bread with cookies?

The waiter lady just write in his order.

Waiter: It's past noon dear are you sure you don't want to eat anything heavy? You look really light for a boy your age.

Ali just give her a comforting smile.

Ali: It's okay ma'am, I'm fine.

The waiter just nodded and went back to the kitchen to do his order.

Ali look at his phone while waiting for his meals to arrive. Gladly not so many people are around him.

After a few minutes,his order come and he thanked the waiter lady,noting  in his mind he should tip her before paying before slurping the hot cocoa.

Ali: Ah...The best hot cocoa ever! *eat the marshmellow*

As Ali is enjoying his meal,by the corner of his eyes,he sees some new people entering the atore and sit the farthest seats at the front.

Four people and he sure as heck knew who that were.

They are Alicia,Khai,Iman and Moon.

They sat at their place and ordering their foods. Ali kept his head low and sipping his hot cocoa.

Ali: Too much of peace I guess-*rolled eyes*

Ali quietly munch on his cookies and minding his own business. He bet any of them actually recognise him like this.

But hey,today is challenging his luck day so why not,right?

Ali smirked to himself and continuing fill his tummy.

After finishing up his meal,Ali lay back on the chair for a while and look at his phone. No new tasks for now then maybe he should start going home now.

The broken pipe will not fix by itself.

Ali stretch a little before picking up his bag and goes to the counter in front. He felt the stare that was thrown to him as he pay for the meal.

Ali: Ah, here's some tips for you ma'am. Thank you for your nice service.

Ali put RM 100 in the jar tip without care and start walking. The flabbergasted nice waiter lady called for him.

Waiter: Hey! This is too much dear! Are you sure?

Ali turn while walking backwards and this time..

He sure that his old friends definitely saw his face.

Their wide jawdropped explain everything.

Ali: Yeah ma'am and call me Iris next time~! *big wave*

He give two-fingers salute before start jogging.

He managed to duck behind a vending machine as Alicia,Iman Khai and Moon run past him.

Ali:*giggle* Idiot.

After making sure the line is clear Ali walked opposites direction from where they go.

Maybe Alicia has call for backup since now he sees some MATA's agents lingering the first floor.

Ali giggle to himself.

The more the merrier.

One of the agent notice him and Ali just smugly wave down to them and lightly laugh as they run toward nearest escalator to get him.

Ali set up his timer. Time to break his own record.

He start walking fast,dodging everyone.

The mall is six storey high, definitely his dead end if he got caught but meh.

Ali hears the familiar screech of a skateboard and instantly knew who it was.

Agent Bobby.

Man,he doesn't look happy.

He chased Ali while the others tried to comprehend him.

Ali: Heh,amatuer.

Using his new yoyo,Ali swing across the mall and climb up the next floor easily. It's easy when there are many wired decorations hanging around.

He managed to get to the last floor and sprint towards the rooftop parking.

Seeing nobody is there yet he take a look down,calculating his next move.

Yep,this boy gonna be the next Spiderman.

Ali: *look at the timer* What a slowpoke... Their mission will end up fail with timing like this.

Ali climb up to the edge and playfully walk on them like he was on a log.

The emergency door banged and Ali look over.

His old gang are there along with several other agents.

Don't forget Agent Bobby and Agent Fit.

Ali:*innocent smile* Hello people~ What makes you come here?

Alicia start talking.

Alicia: Ali-

Ali:*tilt head* Who? I'm sorry miss girl but I think you got the wrong person.

And that time he make a flip,almost stumbled and sure make people there got a slight heartattack.

Khai: Ali,we know it is you...

Ali: Ekkk- You're wrong~ I don't know anyone named Ali here. Do you see him? I don't see anyone.*look around*

His bratty attitude got to Agent Fit as he now draw out his weapon.

A.Fit: Stop being a brat and get down that edge you traitor!

Alicia: Fit, stop it! We need to convince him nicely!

Ali hold his amusement as Fit's face twitched in annoy.

Ali:*squats* I'm sorry but you got the wrong person.

A.Bobby: Do not try to fool us!

Ali: *put hands up* Didn't say anything. You said it to yourself

Alicia seems to take a deep breath while giving the handsign to make other agents to put down their weapon.

Alicia: Ali ..You need to come back. Running away will not solve everything..

Ali: *singy voice* I don't know what are you talking about~ And now you start annoying me.

He tapped his shoes several time on the surface,ready to make his move.

Okay,as any sane person,of course they would thought Ali will run back to the mall right? They even block the door to make sure he doesn't escape.

Heh,but Ali already insane.

He purposely make himself fall, free falling.

He already calculate his landing,so he will be safe. He just knew it.

His boot slide onto the mall surface and slowing down his fall and now he is sliding on the mall outsides's wall.

He grabbed onto a lamp post and gracefully gliding down until his feet touched the ground.

There are spectators but not like he care anyway.

Ali: Heh,three years and still dumb.

He activated his surfer and glided away from the mall.
