Third day

After a day of eating and chatting, grandad needed to rest,I led him towards his room,he needed to rest.

The room was moderate and neat,I didn't want him to live by himself.

He needed someone to take care of him,his condition was deteriorating.

It was evident,from his face,he looked much more sickly than before.

"I am proud of you True"grandad said.

"For getting you a banner?"I asked.

"For making yourself happy again,I never thought I would see the day,or the day would ever come"Grandad said.

He sat on the bed,and I took out his night pills.

I poured him a glass of water,"are you two planning kids?"he asked,being nosey,and I almost lost balance of the glass jug.

"Anything wrong?"He asked.

"We're not having kids"I said,killing any dream he might have been cooking in his head.

"Grandad we need to have some kinds of house rules"I said frankly to him.

His ears stood up at that.

"First and foremost,I don't want you prying into her life"I said.

"You don't want me to get close to my future daughter in law?"he dramatically asked.

I stared at him dryly,I knew him better than my Shadow.

"I don't want you asking her anything personal"I said,making myself clear.

"And secondly,you will stay in your room every morning,and rest,you won't come out of here,I've installed a TV here so you don't get bored"I said.

"Why!"Grandad questioned.

"You know the nurse specifically instructed you to rest for at least eight hours"I sternly said.

He looked like he just sucked lemons.

"Why does an old man have to suffer so?"Grandad asked.

"Thirdly..."

"There is a third one?"Grandad asked,his eyes almost falling out of the socket.

"Never come into our room"I said,firmly.

He blushed.

The old man blushed.

"Dirty minded as usual"I said to him.

"How did you know what was on my mind?"Grandad asked, me with an all knowing smile.

"Just follow the rules okay?"

He nodded,without consenting to my rules verbally.

There was a knock at the door,"come in Joe"grandad said.

She walked inside,her scent filling the air,she wore a robe,exposing a bit of her clevage.

And a good portion of her legs.

Grandad used his elbow to nudge my stomach,and wore a mischievous grin.

"What was that you said about not having kids?"he whispered to me.

I swallowed hard,I think she was trying to be the ideal girlfriend.

She stood beside me,and hugged me from the side,placing her head on my chest gently.

Her soft washed hair on my nose,her scent was so lovely and to die for.

"How are you feeling Johnny?"She asked him,her tone a bit homely.

"I love it when you call me Johnny"he said,and I swear I wanted to stitch his lips together.

She chuckled at his joke.

"Thanks for the warm welcome today"he said to her.

"It was no problem really,it was a pleasure"she said.

She stroked her hands around my back,making me startled,and jump.

Grandad noticed this from me,and squinted his eyes at us.

She drew circles around my back,and I found it very hard not to get affected.

"Is anything wrong?"he asked,me,but I bit my lower lip.

Joe slid her arms up my shirt,her fingers on my back,I broke a nervous sweat.

"True you're sweating"grandad pointed out,making her pinch me.

I tried not to yelp,she let out a smile,

"You two can go to bed now,I want those grand kids early"grandad shamelessly said.

I expected him to completely disobey my words,it was no surprise.

After putting him to bed,I led Joe out of the room,I peeked inside just to ensure he's grandad was fine.

Content,I turned my head,but met a kiss on the lips from Joe.

What the hell is going on!

*************

"JoJo,do I look stupid to you?"Scarlett asked JoJo,her hands crossed, she had an all knowing look.

"Am agent JoJo"he said,determined to keep this lie of his.

"Is your secret so nasty that you have to lie to me?"Scarlett asked,now getting a bit scared.

"I didn't want to blow my cover,but seeing that an intelligent and strikingly beautiful cop found me out, I'd be best if I just fess up"JoJo said,sounding like a movie star.

Scarlett was flattered at the compliment,but stuck to her head.

"I can't believe you would stoop so low as to lie,I was right to want to investigate you"Scarlett said,wanting to pull out her pistol from her hip.

"It's no lie,I even have a deadly target am here to take out specially"JoJo said,putting on a serious face.

Lying was his strong suit.

Scarlett's ears stood up at that information.

"What are you talking about?"Scarlett asked,her hand close to the pistol.

"Her name is Josephine,and she's a threat to the American government"JoJo said,igniting interest in Scarlett's mind.

She eased up on him.

"I'll need some proof"Scarlett said,and luck was on JoJo's side.

He went down on his knee,and opened his bag,he brought out some guns in a hidden compartment.

"How did I not see that!"Scarlett said under her breath.

He dropped the guns,and pulled out a wallet,and took out a card.

"Good thing I thought it cool to keep these fake CIA IDs,True can eat his words.

They didn't land me in trouble, infact they're doing the exact opposite"JoJo thought,grinning from ear to ear.

He rubbed his smile off,and flashed the ID at her.

Scarlett's eyes followed the ID,she yanked it out of his hands.

She wanted a feel of it herself.

She examined it carefully,and let out a huge sigh of relief.

"It all makes sense now..."she said under her breath,with a sense of realisation flashing across her beautiful eyes.

"It does doesn't it?"He asked,wanting to gloat over the situation.

"You must have known I was a cop,that was why you set yourself up,it was all an act,wasn't it?. You just wanted my help with this!"She exclaimed.

"How further from the truth could this dumb cop be!" JoJo thought.

"Exactly, you're right"JoJo said,placing his hands on hers,wanting to bust a move.

She jerked her hand away and walked forward,blindly towards the window.

"In order to stick to your story,you pretended to be a lazy good for nothing jobless deadbeat!"Scarlett further deduced from the situation.

That remark broke JoJo's resolve.

"Well...not entirely..."he tried to intervene.

"It explains why you were at that new Year's Eve party!"She excitedly said,glad about no longer being in the dark.

"And that is the only reason why you have these guns!"She exclaimed.

"The only legal reason..."JoJo muttered to himself.

"What was that?"she asked,and looked over her shoulders.

"Exactly,so from now on,let's forget about any form of investigation and focus on the main thing at hand"JoJo said,and placed his arms on her shoulders.

She had a spark in her eyes.

JoJo lowered his head,ready to give her a kiss,but she energetically walked past him,still lost in her day dream.

"I...I could get a promotion once we track down this threat!"Scarlett said,making hand gestures to prove her point.

"Did you say we?"he asked,she turned to look at him.

"Of course we'll both take the credit for it. JoJo...sorry Agent JoJo... you don't know exactly whatyou're doing for me"Scarlett said,full of life.

"You have no idea"he said,under his breath,with a hint of guilt and hopelessness.

"I'll have my people at the station run a scan on her,I'll be sure to send progress reports to the captain"Scarlett said,getting way over her head.

Now,this was crossing boundaries, JoJo could not let her continue like this,lying to a cop was one thing,but getting the entire station involved was something totally different.

He grabbed her shoulders like his life depended on it.

Frankly it did.

"Scarlett,you cannot let this leave these four walls,you will keep this mission between us two. The CIA doesn't like their work being interrupted by policemen or another external body"JoJo said looking directly into her eyes.

"Of course,I'll keep it between us two,but once we're done with this,I'll give a full report of this to my captain"Scarlett said.

JoJo looked at her,not knowing what to say,but he knew what not to say.

He kept his gaze on her,he heard the dog,he looked at Bow,she employed her puppy eyes.

"How did you wind up in this situation?Both of them are good at blackmail"JoJo thought.

"Fine"JoJo said,not entirely sure why he agreed to her request.

"Good,hit the showers and get dressed"Scarlett said to him,while leaving the room,Bow wagging her tail behind.

"Why..."JoJo asked not entirely sure of why he wanted her to change.

"We have a threat to catch! The safety of America is in our hands!"Scarlett said,and JoJo let out a little laugh,but quickly surpressed it.

"Of course"he said,trying to put on a bold face.

She left gleaming with smiles.

JoJo whipped his phone ready to call True.

"I've gotten in a huge mess!"
