Chapter 62- Saber's POV

Start from the beginning
                                    

"And who is that?"

The stranger had a hoodie on so I couldn't see their face. I stared at them and I could feel the stranger try making themself small. I didn't have time to ask them anything because Bane suddenly surrounded their shoulders of his arm:

"This is our new friend. We found him on the streets."

I frowned seeing the stranger pull the hoodie back on their face.

"You can't just pick up people on the streets. You have no idea who he is."

Bane finally let go of the stranger and tapped their back with strength:

"He is not anybody. He is fun, we like him.

-You like him?"

Bane swallowed hard seeing me take a step closer:

"So while I was wiping out twenty people from the surface of this Earth, you three decided to leave your posts and made friends with a stranger? And all of this is fine because he is funny?"

I was walking closer and closer and all of them were backing off.

"I am so glad that he is funny. Too bad that those men we just killed weren't funny because then I would have left them alive.

-I feel that you are angry.

-Of course I am angry! Get rid of that and follow me. We will share the money and never meet again."

I was ready to go away but hearing Icas, I immediately turned back:

"But boss...

-What?

-We can't abandon him. He is lost...

-I don't care. Maybe he was sent to kill us."

Mitch shook his head vigorously:

"He is not a killer.

-Because you are such a good judge of character. Do I look like a killer?

-With all due respect, you are very scary, boss."

I stopped and turned to Bane:

"Am I?"

Bane started fidgeting:

"No, you are gorgeous, boss.

-Being scary and ugly are not the same.

-I..."

Bane pushed Icas forward:

"Your turn."

Icas looked back at Bane as if he had been betrayed and seeing the three of them sweating made me roll my eyes:

"Okay, let's take him home but then we are moving on. Picking up strangers on the streets... How could you call yourselves agents?"

The boys jumped excited and Bane hit the strangers back again:

"See? We told you that our boss was a warm hearted person. We love her very much."

I interjected:

"Flattering me won't help. meeting you guys was one of the worst things that ever happened to me."

Bane raised his hands in a sign of peace:

"I was being completely honest."

We started walking together but there was something weird about that stranger and I couldn't stop staring at him. Why didn't he want us to see his face? Why did he keep his head down? Why was he walking with Bane holding his arm? It was all too weird and I stopped:

"Show us your face.

-Boss, he is not someone we know. It's okay.

-Then there won't be any problem in showing me his face."

There was a short silence before the stranger raised his hand to his hoodie. He hesitated before taking it off very slowly. At first I could only see his hair and he waited a bit before raising his head and staring straight in front of him. It was dark outside so it took me a second to recognize him but then it hit me. It was Sverre. It was my fake fiance. It was the worst person to ever meet right now and I was split between screaming at the boys or knocking Sverre out.

"Boss?"

Seeing me frozen, Mitch walked up to me and whispered:

"Do you know him?"

I quickly gained back my composure and shook my head. Sverre was blind. He couldn't see my face and my personality was way different from the fiance I pretended to be. If I was lucky he didn't recognize my voice yet and I could quickly get rid of him.

"No. Never seen him."

I turned back and continued walking.
