Silent But Sinister//COMPLETED✔️

XXVIII - Spray Cans

"Talk to me," I said as I unlocked my office door.

After school I came straight to the base to check up on some things, and just in time for the rest of my gang members to come back from their Moon Walks too. I assumed all was well, judging from the fact that none of my members looked injured or hurt in any way. Now, I just needed them to tell me what the fuck happened and what the hell they found.

I started sorting through the paperwork Richard had given me as Joe began to talk, "Well, since Emerald and Amethyst were in a different location, nobody was in the house except for a couple of guards," he informed.

I froze with my hand midair and shifted my inquisitive gaze up to Joe, "But?" I pressed.

He sank down into the sofa near the wall, "But, nothing suspicious was found in and out of the house. The only place we were sure something would be in was the office. When we picked the lock, somebody had come into the house and we had to leave," he sighed out.

I set down the files and folded my hands while I cocked an eyebrow at Joe, "So you didn't find anything there?" I asked impatiently.

I wasn't mad at my commands, but instead upset with the fact that they couldn't get anything out of it. It wasn't a failed mission since we still have our bots, but still.

Or so I thought...

Joe gave me a knowing smirk and dug into his back pocket while he walked over to me. He threw a small object onto my desk and once it finally stopped spinning, I came face to face with a silver metallic USB.

"I know you would've been upset so I went back to download the files and data the computer held," Joe said proudly.

I stared down at the small device in awe with my mouth hung agape, "You- You went back?" I asked astonished.

Even though Joe knew there was someone already in the house, he risked it just so he could make me happy. How could I not better myself for someone who does something like this for me? How could I not be considerate of those who tend to risk their lives just to make me happy?

If I asked myself 'how could I be so stupid' before, then I feel like I've been living under a rock now.

I finally looked up to see Joe beaming at me. I slowly got up and rounded my desk to give Joe a hug, "Thanks Uncle Joe," I whispered.

He kissed my forehead and rubbed my back, "Anything for you boss," he said softly.

Anything for me. These men really are big softies around me, yet I haven't cared about how I would affect them with my emotions.

He pulled away and looked down at me, "And with the location you sent us earlier," he reminded me.

I nodded my head for him to continue, "We couldn't really hear anything since we were hiding far, but we recorded it and was going to clear out the audio before handing it to you. Unless, you want it now?" Joe asked unsurely.

I nodded my head and he handed me a small recording device. I sent him to go deal with some prostitutes while Soldier and I went down to the lab. We messed around in the hallways a bit to kill time and even danced to a song that I was humming at. Once we got to the lab, I was a laughing mess.

Once I had died down from my laughter, I looked up to see some of my members putting away the devices that they had borrowed for the Moon Walk. I sent them a small wave and they all gave me nods in acknowledgement.

"How was the field trip?" I joked as I walked to the computer. I would've done the work in my office but my computer isn't meant for hacking and dealing with devices like the ones in the lab.
