CHAPTER SEVEN
"Hey bunny, what can I get you?"
You asked as Frank orders,
"That's all, and please stop calling me bunny..."
He sounds so defeated. You smile at him,
"Okay... Bunny."
He sighs, as you laugh.
"Come on, it's cute! Plus it's literally what I see, the bunny mask."
You give him the espresso and he leaves.
Waving him goodbye, the eatery seems to have quiet down after the event. Seeing as you were missing for two days, the kids went with you everywhere you go. To make sure you never go missing again,
This might become a problem...
Your shift ends, you all go back to your apartment. Turning in the news,
"A few days ago, a body has been discovered. During the opening of the new stadium, it have seem to be a suicide but the police are currently investigating---"
Your body stiffened, remembering that you helped a certain someone in making it look like a suicide. Yutani looks at you, seeming she knows what you did,
"Did you--"
"No. W-well, I helped but--"
You stop your sentence, seeing the others nearing the kitchen.
"I hope that man rests in peace..."
Tricky says, sadness in her eyes.
"Y-Yeah..."
You agree.
The kids begin to hang out, having fun and eating.
Your phone rings and see it's Frank calling.
"Hey bunny."
"Where are you? You're late, it's the last contract and she'll arrive here in 10 minutes."
"OH! I'm so sorry! I completely forgot, I'm on my way!"
Hanging up, you start to gear up. Hiding your firearms in your bag, sneaking past the kids.
"Where are you going?"
Jake asked you, stopping you dead in your tracks.
"I have... Business."
"It's always businnes this and business that! Where are you really going and how are we gonna know you won't dissapear again?"
Fresh yells out, your heart cracks. You sighed and smiled at them reassuringly,
"I won't dissappear, I'll be back before you know it! Now behave and stay here."
You go out, walking quickly downstairs.
Unknowingly, the kids watch you out the window.
"Where do you think they're going?"
Jake questioned
"Y/N always says it's business... But what kind of business? They've been acting suspicious lately..."
Tricky rubs her chin, Yutani chiming in.
"W-Well, I think t-they just have some personal things to go--"
"What do you guys say we follow Y/N?"
Jake shouts, the other two agreeing, while Yutani tries her best to stop them.
"W-Wait! I think this is a bad idea!" she yells out as she follow them out the door.
Arriving at the meet up area, you see Frank.
Catching your breath,
"Hey...sorry the kids were with me all day..."
"It's fine, no need to worry. The woman hasn't arrived yet, we can still wait."
You nod, standing beside him quietly.
"So... Who do you work for? I mean, you know what system I work for... What about you?"
He looks at you,
"Dossier."
"Sounds fancy... Are there alot of agents there?"
"Yeah, I just happen to live in the city, that's why it's mostly me you see."
Silence comes between you two..
You think of another question to ask him.
"Do you regret it...?"
"What?"
"You know... Regretted being an agent?"
He stays silent, looking at you.
"It's fine! You don't have to tell--!"
He hugs you tightly, dropping his briefcase.
"I do... I regret it so much..! I don't want to kill people, but it's necessary for my job..!"
You hear him sob between his words. Your heart aches, seeing him like this for the first time. His arms around you, your face in his chest as he softly pets your hair.
You wrap you arms around him, squeezing him gently, letting him cry on your shoulder.
"Im sorry, Frank... I didn't know.."
"We can take our time, I'll wait for you until you feel better, Frank."
His sobs become quiet. You stay silent as his sobs are all you could hear.
I hate it... I hate seeing people cry...
"I just-- I just made so many mistakes and so-- so many regrets because of my job...!"
His voice changed, his voice changer must be off. His voice sounds so... Deep, and soothing...
Your eyes water, remembering your own mistakes and regrets. All the people that had left you all alone, never caring about you. Your heart begin to feel heavy, as Frank continues to cry. You open your mouth,
"Sometimes... Regrets and mistakes are apart of life..."
His sobs become silent.
"But it's either we push it away... Or we learn from it."
He hugs you even tighter, his heart calming down. Softly saying,
"Thank you..."
His cries stop, you close your eyes and continue to hug him while he wipes his tears.
"Sorry, I just had been bottling up so many emotions. I didn't mean to--"
"It's okay! You can express emotions, don't be afraid. Don't bottle it up..."
How funny, even Im afraid to feel...
"We should get going..."
He picks up his briefcase, walking towards the abandoned train tracks. You stick close to him, making sure he's fine.
You hold his hand.
"Im always here for you, bunny..."
You smile at eachother.
You both finish up the contract. You got your money, and he got his documents. All you need to do is hide the body, you thank the gods that she was alone.
You hide the body behind some bushes, putting rocks over it.
You return to Frank.
"You ready to go now?"
He nods.
Just as you were about to leave, you hear twigs snapping and out come Fresh from the grass.
Your body became numb, your heart racing fast. Hands immediately sweating and your throat closing up.
No, no..!
They couldn't have...
They shouldn't have!
I'm screwed!
I'm screwed!
I fucked up!
Fresh looks at you, horrified. Your eyes slowly look up, seeing the other kids, looking at you like you're a monster. Jake, Tricky, and Yutani...
"Wh-What are you?! Do you kill people!?"
"I thought we were friends!"
"You're a murderer! You really do kill people for money!"
You stay silent, you know your life is over the moment the kids find out about you. You let them yell at you, scream at you, crying their hearts out. You just stood there... Head hung low in shame, silently crying. Your heart beating too much for your body to handle, visibly shaking. Your breathing becomes rapid and unstable,
Shit, I need to calm down...
You take deep breaths but nothing is working.
Your throat begins to close up, struggling to breathe. You desperately try to breathe. Chest beginning to feel heavier and heavier, you look up, unable to see their faces. Your vision becomes blurry...
I want to die... Why am I crying infront of them...
You could hear voices ringing in your ears, feeling someones hands on your shoulders. You calm down, you could hear and see them properly. Your breathing still shaky, tears streaming down your face.
The kids hugged you. You looked at Frank, confused. A moment ago they were mad at me, now they're hugging me...
"Frank told us about your situation..."
Tricky said,
"That you're in debt, the system not really letting you out of it."
Jake says,
"We're sorry..!"
You gasped.
"No! you guys have all the right to be mad at me, I'm a bad person, I ki-killed people...!"
You cry even harder, the lump in your throat becoming hard to swallow.
"They did bad things too! Every one of us did some bad things! Not just you, or Frank! Both of you didn't want this.. Right?"
Yutani tried to comfort you.
You calm down. Stopped your crying, and gave Frank a hug.
"Thank you bunny..."
"Just doing what you did to me.."
He hugs you back.
The kids joining in.
I don't deserve this...
I don't deserve the kids...
I don't deserve Frank...
He's too nice to me.. And comforting...
