Secret Weapon

"Don't you care?"

They stared at each other with incomprehensible gazes. Luke knew it wouldn't be over if he talked to Clare, who kept on being curious. Clare could only stop when her curiosity was over. But he couldn't give Clare a definite answer which meant Clare would continue to question him.

"I have my own problems, it's better not to know for now."

"Why?" Clare raised an eyebrow. Her expression changed. "I won't tell anyone ... I'm not good at lying, but I'm good at keeping secrets."

"No need."

Clare huffed in annoyance and massaged her forehead with her arms while looking down and then sighed. "If you put it that way, I'll back off if I need to." Clare sighed. "When's the party over? I plan to have a discussion so that this matter can be resolved quickly. Don't think about how I act, I have no plans and can't answer them."

"Soon. It's 12 o'clock, you sure after the party?"

Clare was silent for a moment. She came home too late is that good? Most likely have to change the schedule, she hoped Jules had found the wandering Zoya. Also others have got the news.

"If so, have you found the place? It's impossible here because it's a secret."

"I know."

Exactly as expected, Luke already had the right place. Although it's not like the meeting room at the academy, it's at least enough for discussion. They gathered in a room that seemed quiet and comfortable. One of the rooms in the mansion, the place Luke and Gavin had just occupied when escaping from the fox. In addition to the bar and billiard tables, there is a long sofa and a small table in another corner that is suitable for relaxing. The air here is neither cold nor hot, very fitting and comfortable.

They have already gathered except Zoya who she says is going to the toilet. Indeed, that child is very troublesome and even irritates Eryk. They sat on the sofa, Clare and her two friends sat on one of the long sofas while the others scattered. Luke sat on the single sofa, Eryk and Louis were by the bar table while Xavier was on the double sofa alone.

"Is it necessary to wait for Zoya?" Louis was impatient.

"No need, she'll find out later," said Xavier.

Clare just complied instead of having to argue nonsense and wasting time. She will tell Zoya the details later.

"So, the professor said the rain monsters were around here, able to disguise various forms like humans or animals. I thought it would be hard to find him because he likes to disguise himself. But Blaire said the rain monster would rain wherever he was and the place he walked was always wet. Lucky it's summer now, we can do a quest through that clue."

"What if it's raining around us and the rain monsters come when they're alone? I think it will be difficult to contact each other, that must be considered."

Luke put something on the table making everyone curious. They all turned to the table seeing an object that looked like a chip. "Communication tool. You use this, these tools are interconnected to communicate remotely. No one will hear the sound of this device except the wearer, so it's certain that it won't leak easily."

They took each one and looked around. Things like this were very expensive here, only certain people could afford them. It's only natural if Luke got it, just by mentioning his surname the seller would be kind.

"Where did you buy it?" Jules' eyes lit up, she had seen this at her home but it wasn't used for her, only for the secret agents her father recruited. In the end she had this item for free.

"This is a common thing, agents have used to work and communicate with each other."

"I heard your family can make it, what does this mean? Then there's no need to spend a lot of money." Jules finally got what she wanted. She had to thank Clare for causing such a big deal of trouble until her dream came true.

"The professor also gave me this. Only professors have them, so be careful." Luke put down some different looking items. Apparently he had prepared everything from the start and only needed to discuss it.

They take things with care. Objects made of metal that are not too heavy, not too big in size. Clare accidentally pressed a button, suddenly the thing in her hand turned elongated making her flinch in surprise and almost let go. A long and dangerous sharp object, even Clare's head looked up slightly at the pointed tip of the weapon. She immediately pressed the button again, instantly it returned to its original form.

"Next time don't just press." Louis reminded.

Clare was silent. In the end he realized that what Luke had brought was the weapons in the dormitory. What Clare was holding was a weapon on display in her room, she remembered very well what it looked like. Unfortunately at that time she did not have time to take it, only Jules to check it.

"I already know all this. When I was still in the experimental stage, I unpacked all of this," Jules said making them all glance at him. She picked up a keychain that was lying on the table. It looks ordinary like an iron keychain in general. Then Jules pressed a barely perceptible button, out came a pointy object that wasn't too long but enough to hurt anyone. "This hanger, it's better for you." Jules gave it to Clare.

Clare accepts it and pays attention to every detail of this keychain knife. Very suitable for self-defense when there is a crime on the road. Even though Clare can do hand-to-hand martial arts, she still needs even the smallest weapon.

"It's better if I decide what you will wear during the mission. Use the communication device Luke gave you." Jules volunteered. As a weapon expert, it was only natural for Jules to show off his abilities.

"You know what?" Erik disagreed.

"The Jules family has their own weapons company and secret service. It's only natural that she understands this." Xavier defended.

"How did you know my family had a secret agent? I never told." Jules was curious.

"Judging from your appearance, it looks like one of them," said Xavier.

Jules snorted. Xavier's assumption that Jules was a secret agent was wrong. She's just the daughter of a company owner and a collection of secret agents, she never interferes with that and focuses on school, she will join when it is 20 years old. Now he got a job from the academy, no need to join her family's secret agency.

There's a lot of weapons that Luke brought from the professor, mostly from their dorms. There are only a few that don't exist like that keychain knife. There is also a grappling hook gun which is neither big nor small, used as a substitute for rope so it is not complicated to roll.

They sat around the table before Jules finally started to decide what items would suit them, he had thought about it from the start when he saw the items. This should be Zoya's job, but Zoya won't agree with Jules.

The door opens revealing Zoya in a hurry to come. She was too late and just sat between Clare and Blaire. No one responded, they focused on themselves and the items they chose, the rest was Jules who would decide.

Jules picked up the thing that surprised Clare earlier, she thought a sword like this might be a match for herself. But she had already determined the weapon she used, so she put it forward. In general, Clare is good at using sharp weapons, don't use a gun on her or it will just waste bullets, Clare's focus is very easy to get distracted.

Then he picked up a colt that would at least fit herself. Then she took out a tube in which there were thin needles, she placed it in front of Blaire. Then a magnum on Eryk and a glock on Louis. Then iron rocks and rope on Zoya, finally laser on Xavier. She also gives a communication device to Zoya who was left behind.

Jules glanced at Luke who looked calm. "You should have chosen from the start, right?" Jules had guessed it and apparently it was. No one knew what Luke took, but no one was curious, they would find out for themselves.

Then Zoya gives each of them a small, square shaped device with a faint button that says SOS. A GPS. "With this, if one of us is missing, then we will know where it is. Put it in the thing that you often carry, don't leave it."

"Now what else?" Xavier asked.

"We need to track it down. If any of us find it, call right away, don't act alone." Luke glanced at Clare, warning her not to be rash. Clare just silently looked away, she couldn't help but glance at Luke who seemed to be threatening her.

A few seconds later, Clare cleared her throat to release the hoarseness in her neck before speaking. "We do our jobs according to each other. Jules and Louis as security, had to act early if something happened, Blaire and Xavier sent the slightest information about the target, Eryk is outside setting up the bird camera to locate the target, Zoya has everything we need and helps with the search for Eryk."

"How about you and Luke?" Zoya asks.

"I'll also look for it while monitoring you guys as controllers, I'll let you know if I find anything. Luke...." Clare glanced at Luke. "It's up to him, I can't manage him as a subordinate. He has his own act."

"Fine, then the mission starts from now on." Louis got up from the sofa.

Actually, Clare had her own plans. She didn't want to tell anyone about his plans because she didn't want anything to get in the way. She will do what he has to do as the team representative, but she will also do what she has to do as the main case perpetrator. All this time she always got a whisper from Vrochis, she wanted to finish it. Many questions arose, and she had to solve them herself.
