Love Began with the First Meeting

"Mr. Long, there are ten soldiers, all handpicked, from A City, awaiting the command.

But there's a possibility that... They're here to assassinate you." Vincent warned him on the phone, his fingers twirling about the cord.

"Okay," allowing no emotion to come out. He kneeled down and changed Molly's ice bag for her,"Is there any progress?" he continued. His face was that of a stone - cold and pale.

Brian pursed his lips,"But you know," he said, sarcastic,"Richie is just not so good at keeping information. Huh?"

Vincent didn't know what to say - everyone at the XK Intelligence Agency knew what Brian's family was capable of. For Vincent, it was extra complicated because he worked for both. Often, he didn't know to whom he was supposed to be most loyal. "Mr. Long, we just found out by accident and even then, none of this is confirmed information," Vincent explained.

Brian didn't know what to think of this. He did believe Vincent, though. He understood how difficult it was to try to get something out of Richie - Vincent must have paid a pretty penny to get it out of him. "What has he been doing? Richie, I mean," Brian asked.
