LUCAS POV
March 5
"No."
"It's a good idea, Boss."
"No, I told you that you will be staying with Natalie."
I was at the Hospital trying to convince Boss to let me go spy on the agents in China.
I want to go, I can't stay with Natalie, even if I wanted to.
"Boss, Natalie and I are the main people working on this mission, it is assigned to us. What better person to lead our agents than one who knows most about this mission?"
"What about Natalie? You can't abandon your partner mid-mission. It is against the rules of BlackLight."
"I know", I sigh. "But she is more than able to man stuff over here while I'm in China."
Boss speculates this. "Is she okay with you leaving?"
I put my head down. "I, uh didn't ask her yet. Came to you first."
Please say yes.
Please say yes.
"Lucas we are talking about two weeks. In two weeks a lot will happen here."
"I'm aware, Boss. That's exactly why I should go with them. I can have the upper hand against H.E.X.A and I can inform Natalie to keep everyone safe and prepared."
He stays silent, clearly speculating my offer.
"I still think you should stay with Natalie, another agent can do this work you are talking about ."
"Please, Boss?"
"Why are you so keen on leaving?"
I stay silent, not knowing what to say.
It's better if I leave for a bit.
"Okay. Okay fine, but I want a list of who you are bringing and I'll host a meeting with all the security precautions."
I sigh in relief. "Thank you, Boss."
He laughs. "You aren't keen to go to China to leave me and work for them?"
My face goes warm.
Did he really think that?
"Kid you should see your face, I'm joking", he laughs.
"Always loyal to you and BlackLight sir."

2pm
I head back in my car excited.
Ever since Josh told Jasmine and I about this, I secretly wanted to go.
Not because I wanted to be in China or something, but because this would be a big break in the case, and things with Natalie aren't great.
Everytime I see her I want to hold her close, feel her soft warm-toned skin around my torso and bury my head in her delicious curls.
It was Saturday, March 5 and I spent the afternoon with Boss and studying.
Oh shit.
It's Grace's birthday.
I quickly think as I come to a turn that could lead me to Natalie's house.
Should I get Grace some flowers and surprise her?
