"You want to leave your hotel?" Wisdom asked.
"I have workers" Birdie replied.
"Okay pop into the car then," Wisdom said as she rushed into his car.
And he slowly reversed, heading straight home.
★At V.S.W.I★
Dr. Stella was inside her office, signing some of her documents.
And then Switzer stepped into the office.
"Okay... Switzer, are they done with the process?" Dr. Stella asked.
"Yes boss they are done, and it has been properly set to the limit level which you permitted it"
"I must say that it is really going to work very well" Switzer replied.
"Okay... so what is left behind for now is for Mikel to come for the remedy..."
"Exactly as it was planned" Stella replied and continues signing her documents.
"Yeah, exactly as it was planned... but emm... they are yet to be here"
"It means that they may not be okay?" Switzer said
"Yeah... I can really feel that, but I hope it should be a minor case"
"You are aware that we are the one covering all his crimes?"
"He was supposed to be in jail by now, for all the crimes he has committed"
"But... he is begging for help, so... we must help him"
"Without letting anyone know about it" Stella replied as Switzer nods.
"And... why are you staring at me like that?" Stella asked Switzer.
Switzer too was so shocked that she noticed the way he was staring at her.
Even though she wasn't looking at his face, but how the fuck did she know?
Besides Switzer still pretends that he did not stare at her.
"What are you talking about?" Switzer asked.
"What am talking about...? tell me you weren't staring at me?" Stella asked.
"Of course, I wasn't!" Switzer replied with a serious look on his face.
He was so determined that whoever wasn't there would believe that he wasn't staring at her.
Besides Dr. Stella knows that he is lying, he is not telling the truth, which she can of course feel.
So she gently stands up from her sit and steps close to him.
While Switzer was just wondering what she was trying to do.
"You see... Switzer, I have been noticing the way you have been staring at me"
"What's that...? let me know?" Stella said to Switzer.
And this is just to prove to Switzer that Stella may be feeling for him too.
Besides, it is not too sure because this is how Stella always treats her loved ones whenever she fills likes she has hurt them.
Moreover, all the things she said to Switzer made Switzer to start thinking of letting her know about his feeling.
But if he do so, it is not going to go under Wisdom's plan.
And it is clear to him that Wisdom's plans are always the best.
So he wouldn't want to miss the chance again, so he still pretends that he wasn't staring at her.
"Stella, I wasn't staring at you" Switzer replied.
"Oh fuck! you don't always want to say it, but you must tell me why...."
"You have been staring at me all this while, Switzer are you planning to kill me?" Dr. Stella asked as Switzer gasped.
"Hell no! what will ever make me think of that? no, I wouldn't dare to do such"
"Tell me why you were staring at me then?" Stella keeps insisting.
"Okay, maybe I was staring at you because I want to tell you something," Switzer said to her.
"Good! what's that?" Stella asked.
"It is all about Zilla..." Switzer said as he steps close and sat on a sit.
"What about Zilla?" Stella asked as she was expecting something very vital from Switzer.
"Are you aware that he is taking the soldiers to the Volkir forest?" Switzer said to her.
While Stella felt so disappointed with the feedback he gave her.
She was expecting something better, not that crap.
So she was just staring at him after he said that.
"What?" Switzer asked.
"Of course I know, he took permission from me before going" Stella replied.
"Boss? don't tell me that you actually approved that" Switzer reacted.
"I don't understand? besides they went there for their training" Dr. Stella replied.
"Like seriously? that deadly forest?" Switzer reacted.
"Yeah, the deadly forest, but Zilla promised that he will get them all back sound and safe" Stella replied.
"Well if you say so" Switzer replied.
"Okay I should get going," Switzer said as he turns to walk away.
"Wait please, so you don't want to let it out?" Stella said to him.
"Let what out?" Switzer asked.
"Fine... you can go, but please try to contact Wisdom for me"
"And find out if he has seen Mikel and after that you let me know what he said" Stella ordered.
"Yes, boss" Switzer said as he opens the door and walk away.
★★★
Switzer was in the backyard, and his in a place where he was probably facing an ocean.
The Niger ocean which passed the back of the V.W.S.I.
He was staring at the ocean as he puts his hand into his pocket.
And bring out his phone and then he dialed the number of Wisdom.
And Wisdom picked up the call immediately.
"Hello, can you hear me?" Switzer said to him.
"Yeah, right and clear" Wisdom replied.
"Where are you...? are you guys still coming to work?" Switzer asked.
"I don't know yet, it's all in the hands of Mikel" Wisdom replied.
"Sorry... pardon me, have you seen him?" Switzer asked.
"No actually... I haven't seen him but I think that I will meet him soon" Wisdom replied.
"Okay, so where are you now?" Switzer asked.
"Uh... actually, I went to search for Mikel at the clubhouse where I dropped him last night"
"And according to directions, they said that he has gone home before my arrival"
"So... am heading back home right now, and am just praying that I should meet him when I get home" Wisdom replied.
"Okay, is someone close to you there?" Switzer asked and Wisdom took one minute of silence before saying a word.
"Actually, yes I was with someone but I wasn't really with anyone"
"So the person that is close to me does not really matter"
"So...? why do you ask, any problem!?" Wisdom asked.
"No, there's no problem, but I got something to discuss with you about the boss" Switzer replied.
And generally, Wisdom already understands what he meant and what he was trying to say.
"Okay go on, what happened? another incident about Zilla?" Wisdom asked.
"Nope, not really something about him, but it personally about the boss," Switzer said.
"Okay....?" Wisdom replied.
But Switzer was about to start narrating the story to him but he saw a young female soldier coming after him.
And the discussion is supposed to be personal so he has to kindly wait for another time.
"Umm... Wisdom I think it is better we meet face to face and discuss about it" Switzer said.
"Yeah, even me I feel like it is better too, I was even about to say that"
"But since you have already considered that, there is no problem, we will see later" Wisdom replied.
And then Switzer caught off the call as soon as the lady is already close.
Although she looks so beautiful under the military uniform.
"Hi..." the lady said to him.
"Hi...?" Switzer replied.
"Am Ileana," the lady said to him.
"Am Sw...." Switzer was about to explain himself also but he got interrupted by Ileana
"I know you already, Switzer the famous kind hearted guy in the V.S.W.I" Ileana said to Switzer.
And then Switzer smiles "Why do you name me that?" Switzer asked.
"Tell me you don't remember me? am the girl you saved from the hands of Zilla" Ileana replied.
And that become the exact time Switzer remembered her.
The girl he freed from the hands of Zilla when Zilla was trying to oppress her.
For something she knows nothing about.
"Oh... pardon me, am just remembering your face right now"
"What is a fine girl like you doing under the force uniform"
"Not just a force but that vanguard army?" Switzer asked.
"Hmm... It doesn't matter by face, it's all about what you have inside the mind"
"Although it is my profession, I chose it" Ileana replied.
"Wow, that's very brave of you" Switzer replied.
"Yeah, but perhaps it gives me good luck right?" Ileana said to Switzer.
But Switzer was not quite understanding what she was saying.
"Good luck? what good luck, tell me so I can cheer with you too" Switzer replied expecting something better and vital.
"Meeting you" she replied.
"Umm... what was that supposed to mean?" Switzer asked because it is quite confusing.
"I mean, you are the good luck that happened to me, you are such a nice person"
"I know that good men like you have already been taken right?" Ileana replied.
"Taken to where?" Switzer asked.
"Oh... you are getting it all wrong, I mean are you in a relationship with someone?"
"Is there a space in your heart?" Illeana finally made him understand.
"Oh wow, hmm am actually not yet in a relationship with anyone"
"But I think that I was planning to" Switzer replied.
"Okay, then can I bounce in, please? give me a chance" Illeana said and Switzer can't believe it.
Switzer becomes so confused that he doesn't know what to say.
Illeana is a beautiful girl that he would like to date.
But of course, he can't say yes to her when he knows that he is deeply in love with Stella.
And besides, he doesn't know what's behind Ileana's intense.
She may be sent by Zilla to distract him as he knows that Zilla can do anything just to distract him from Stella.
But on the other hand also, what if she has nothing to do with Zilla.
What if she truly loves him and he didn't give her a chance, and later on still loses Stella.
It would be of course the worst thing to ever happen to him.
So he don't know the decision to make right now so he simply said.
"Excuse me... I think I gat a message to deliver to the boss" Switzer replied and tries to walk away.
But Ileana held his hand as he looks backward.
"Oh come on don't behave like a child, I really love you right from that day"
"Have been giving you sign all this while, but you show no interest"
"So I have decided to meet you in person, please... don't turn me down"
"I really like you, and I wanna be with you" Ileana explained all her feelings and what it looks like.
"Umm... am sorry but I have no answer for that now, I have a job I need to accomplish immediately"
"Goodbye," Switzer said as he still walks away, but as he was walking away.
"Expecting a positive answer from you darling" Ileana shouted to him but he still didn't mind.
He keeps walking away while Ileana stares at him till he steps inside the building.
★★★★
Stella was in her office and was still busy with her work when Switzer stepped in.
"So have you spoken with him?" Stella asked.
"Yes, boss" Switzer replied.
"And what did he say about Mikel?" Stella asked.
"He is yet to find him, although he said that Mikel may be at home by now" Switzer replied.
"Okay, you can go now," Stella said to him and he silently walk out of the office.
★★★
Dr. Stella's Home.
Wisdom's car was shown as it drives into the compound.
And heads straight to the car's cave and parks there.
And then the car doors opened as Wisdom stepped out of it.
And so as Birdie steps out after him also.
"Wow, this is where you live? it looks so beautiful" Birdie said to Wisdom.
"Actually am under someone" Wisdom replied as they keep walking into the compound.
"It doesn't matter, what matters is that you are living in a fine area" Birdie replied.
And then they are already close to the door which is opened by eye password.
Wisdom just place his eyes well on the camera and the door opened immediately.
"You can go in," Wisdom said as Birdie stepped into the house.
And she was so much admiring the whole parlor.
"Have a sit" Wisdom offered her and she gently sat down.
"Thank you," She said to him.
"Mikel! Mikel! are you home?" Wisdom shouted as that name reflected in the girl's ear.
She felt like she has met that name before and the name sounds deadly to her.
Not quite long Wisdom called Mikel, and then Mikel was seen running down the stairs with tears.
Just to see this girl again!
"Mikel?" Birdie called his name.
