See you

Midnight, intertwined on the bed, a ring of the bell on the door makes Rhett groan in annoyance. Neva spooned, sleeping on the left side of the bed, slowly unveils her eyes. Being light sleepers the irky noise were very bothersome for the both of them.

Neva turns around—lifting her head up to glance at the door above Rhett's large frame wrapping her.

"Someone's at the door Rhett." Her sleepy, sweet voice utters. Hr hums in response.

She gazes down at him, his eyes still veiled in leisure.

She untangles his arms around her waist and attempts to sit up. Before she could get off the bed, he grabs her hand, preventing her from doing so. Neva glimpses at him.

He has his eyes opened wide. "It might be dangerous. Stay here." His deep voice cautions.

Rhett with a sour appearance slides off the warm covers—getting out the intoxicating bed.

The ringing intensifies, he decisively gets a gun out the cabinet and carefully trudges towards the door. Neva sat up, swallows the lump formed in her throat, afraid of what is to reveal beyond the door.

Rhett stands by the entrance—gaze sharp, the firearm equipped to fire if obliged to. The gun held in his ear level—he peeks through the peephole.

The entryway divulges Ace's anguished self.

His expression eases, he lowers the weapon and twists the doorknob open. He probably came with an information carrying scourge.

"Is something up?" He inquires the nervous Ace.

"Boss you have to leave now." He returns. As the familiarity emerges from the voice, Neva breathes out a sigh of solace.

Ace continues, "Raka's men have surrounded the country. Airports are unsafe. We've booked tickets for a rather safe cruise."

Rhett sighs—closing his eyes, frustrated from the mess in the dead of the night.

"What times is it?" He probes—massaging his temple.

Ace glances down at his vintage watch. "One past fifty a.m. We've gotten the illegitimate passports." Ace grabs out the documents out his jacket—he forwards them to him.

Rhett gets the documents from him and scrutinizes it.

"Lily Baker and Rocky Baker?" He raises an eyebrow at Ace. "You don't like the names Boss?" Ace frowns.

He shakes his head, "It's fine." Ace nods his head, knowingly.

"The cruise leaves at 3 a.m." Ace informs and presents a green pistachio trolley from behind him.

"We forgot about it earlier." He smiles, crookedly in anxiousnes. He was fearful to interrupt the leader's slumber. Nonetheless he had no choice, he had always been the target for the most treacherous tasks.

Rhett hums in response, Ace exhales in ease. "We'll move within the next ten minutes." He grabs the weekend bag and closes the door behind.

Ace nods, "Alright Boss, we'll be waiting in the car."

His gaze lands at Neva standing lost by the bed. His long strides approaches her closer.

"Will you be alright travelling on the cruise?"

He positions the trolly beside the bed—going on placing the documents on the bed.

"I should be." Neva murmurs.

Rhett meets her strained eyes. His hands cups her cheeks—kissing her on the forehead. "We need to hurry." He mumbles. Neva nods in return, separating herself from the warmth of him.

In the short ten minute, Neva dresses herself up: a beige knitted, flared sleeve sweater and light blue flared jeans.

In her heart she praises Sky for her fine fashion sense. She paces around packing her needs.

Rhett dressed and packed with his necessities, well weapons, raises an eyebrow at her. "You're wearing only that?"

Neva turns her head to face him, she shakes her head—rausing a jacket for him to see.

Nine more minutes elapsed, she finally finished loading up her luggage. "Let's go." She says, while wearing the jacket.

He told Ace about being prepared in ten minutes, but he forgot he has a woman now.

Rhett chuckles gleefully.

"What?" Her ears perks up at his laugh. "Nothing." He says, swaying his head.

He nears her and kisses her on the lips. Grabbing the luggage from her hand, he cradles her warm one.

Soon enough, the couple converges with the rest in the car, waiting for them.

They dare don't mention about them being ten minutes later then the informed time.

Snow appeared ne'er tonight. The night cold and dark, the streets vacant. Moon illuminating the mortal world.

A smooth ride of thirty minutes reaches them to their destined port.

"The cruise leaves in twenty minutes." Sky apprises as the vehicle comes to a halt.

"Inform me everything about Raka. You want to snatch Ruhd from him...If viable." The four heads turns to him.

He pauses before continuing, "Abandon if it's too complicated." The three agents nods their head, perceiving their leader's words.

"Don't worry Boss. We'll handle it here. You have a safe voyage." Ace smiles reasurringly.

"Thankyou, for everything." Neva harbouring a soft demeanour expresses her gratitude.

"It's our pleasure." Sky responds embracing her.

Neva's surprised from her sudden tenderness. Nevertheless she slowly wraps her arms around her.

"See you Neva Mae." Sky says, she wishes to see Neva once more.

"Just call me Neva." Neva returns.

Parting away Sky smiles at her. "My name, it's Elfie."

Neva smiles at her, "Then see you soon Elfie." "I'm Zac and He's Lay." Ace abruptly, out of the blue declares.

Hunter side eyes him. Rhett rolls his eyes.

Neva chuckles, "It was nice knowing you guys."

For all times Rhett silently peers at them. He opens the door and gets off helping Neva after. He walks around the rear of the car—ge takes out the luggage from the trunk.

Ace and Sky waves at her as Neva waves back at them. Rhett holds her hand heading towards the sumptuous cruise.

Neva looks over her shoulder, the Ferrari rumbles away.

She then looks ahead, breathing in her new escapade.
