Mark to the rescue

The next week had been very busy with the costume details that need to be sent to the costume department. After many days of hard work, Little Moon and I thought of going out for lunch. Ted was staying at the university dorm with his friend these days so Mark- the leader of Little Moon's security team- was at home.

Every month cleaning is requested to come and clean the big glass doors and windows. The team of servicemen has been always the same. This procedure was taken as to the confidentiality of the work done by Little Moon. Her work is highly guarded as well as herself.

As Mark went through with their work, he found an unfamiliar figure in the team. He seems to be pretty curious about everything as if he is trying to find out something. SO he kept a special eye on him, during the time of the office window clean-up.

"Hello, Mr. D" Mark answered the call going to a corner of the office room.

"How is everything, Mark?"

"Nothing to worry, sir. Mr.George and Little Moon went out for lunch. They will be coming back in an hour or so."

"Did they go with the security?"

"Yes sir, is there something to worry about, sir?"

"Amy has been sent home two days ago for a break. So she might do something."

"Ok, Mr.D. I will keep an eye for any danger."

"Thank you, Mark."

Mark felt something has happened behind his back. But he couldn't figure it out at the moment as everything looked normal. But he realized the new serviceman hurriedly left the office after cleaning it.

-------------------------------------

We came back after about two hours. I took her to visit one of the newest shopping malls in the city. Even though she didn't like to visit that much she tagged along without a fuss. The place was filled with many window shoppers and food lovers.

While we were roaming around I noticed Little Moon eyeing something by standing in front of a jewelry shop. I kept a mental note about it. By holding her hand I walked with her to a cloth store, as I wanted to buy her a dress. I choose several dresses for her to try out. But in secret, I was hoping she will choose the pale blue printed off-shoulder dress.

"Did you see where he went?" I hear her asking a salesgirl.

"Hi, that looks pretty good on you. I just went to another shop to get something I needed. Do a twirl for me." Yes, I was right this dress looks pretty good on her. After I approved it she went back to change.

"Sir, there are some liquid foundations that your girlfriend can use to cover her scars." said the salesgirl.

I have known this is a sensitive topic for her. So I had to deal with it before she comes back.

"Thank you for your kind concern. But, I love my girlfriend as she is. I love her for having the confidence and courage she has to accept her scars rather than being worried to hide it."

Little Moon was back. I held her tight and said, "I never liked a girl who is materialistic. But I love my girl who is realistic and true to herself and others."

A few customers at the shop looked at us and the salesgirl was so surprised.

-------------------------------------

In the evening, I realized Little Moon seems to be under stress over something.

"Hi, is everything ok?" I looked at her and she seems pretty worried.

"Hmm..." She goes on rampaging around the drawings she had done.

"Really is there something wrong, I will be able to help you if you tell me." She looked at me worried.

"One of the custom breakdown sketches is missing."

"Are you sure you didn't put them somewhere else?"

"I didn't take them out, because I have to add a bit more details."

"Why not we ask Mark."

"Hmm.."

I contacted Mark and we went to the studio. Then only Little Moon remembered the cleaners today. Mark told one person was new and he did act a bit weird.

"Oh! wait.. Why not we check the camera." said Little Moon.

"Yes Miss.," said Mark and started to check on the cameras while myself and Little Moon check if anything else was missing.

After a few hours through search, we didn't find anything else missing. While we were wondering what happened, Mark came to us with a video of the cleaner stealing the design. With Mark contacting the service provider, he and his team went to find the service person.

While all this was happening, Little Moon got a call.

"Are you happy now?"

"AMY!!! " I signaled Little Moon to put the speaker on.

"I told you I will hurt you" she threatened Little Moon.

"Hmm... ok no problem. I can make another no big issue." She answered Amy calmly.

"How dare you, win over me." Amy kept the phone, threatening her.

I looked at her and I can see she was ready to do what she said right now. While she was busy with the sketches, I contacted Mr.D and Mark to inform them about what happened and what we are going to do.

A few hours later, Mark called to tell them they have found the serviceman and had him handed over to the police. It seems like he was a wanted hitman for several crimes. But the drawing was torn into pieces.

This was the whole thing is plotted by Amy to harm Little Moon. So she bribed one of the usual cleaners with money to stage an emergency at home, so the person she wants can join the team to enter the house. But her plan was ruined because of the secret cameras placed in the office and also because of the tactful attitude of Mark.

"Mark" called Mr.D.

"Yes, sir."

"Thank you for your help today."

"I didn't do much. I was just doing my job sir."

"If Little Moon was at home, that guy could have harmed her, Mark."

"Don't worry Mr.D. I will keep an extra special lookout for her. You know I treat her like my own sister too."
