This man seemed to find joy in everything around him.
Flossie Wright laughed, not at all concerned, saying, "If you dare."
His light chuckle resounded as Calvin Ramos watched her with an almost amused expression.
Flossie Wright turned to leave, retracing her original path.
But after a few steps, she stopped, turned her head and warned, "Play with fire, and you’ll get burned. Be careful."
With that, she left.
As Calvin Ramos watched her retreating form, his usually gloomy eyes now contained a trace of malice.
What does she know?
Flossie Wright found a hotel and safely passed the night there.
As for the gun...
She casually tossed it in a cowboy bag.
The next day.
At five o’clock in the morning.
Hum... Hum... Hum...
The vibration of Flossie Wright’s cell phone woke her up.
With her blanket covering her head, Flossie stretched out a hand and groped around for a while before finding her phone.
It was a phone call.
No name was given, and she didn’t recognize the number.
She answered lazily from beneath the covers.
"Mission 2: Bring useful information to the Chengming locksmith shop for exchange in three days."
The voice seemed to be altered by a voice changer.
After that, the call was disconnected.
Three seconds later.
Flossie Wright was slightly more awake and slowly crawled out of the bed.
The day was just dawning, and it was slightly cold, with the faint sound of rain still echoing outside.
The city was without central heating and Flossie wasn’t partial to air conditioners. The patio door was open, allowing a cool breeze to waft in, gently swaying the curtain.
𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Keeping the lights off, she crept out of bed in her slippers and shut the patio door.
It was quite early.
Not with the Forces now, whenever there was a pause in training she often found herself with nothing to do.
Standing by the window, Flossie stretched lazily.
She then turned and headed to the bathroom to take a bath.
Flossie Wright ordered some breakfast and sat on the couch peeling apples. She turned on the television, which was airing the morning news.
Perhaps out of habit, she took an interest in current affairs when she had nothing else to do.
Like right now.
"At 2:45 a.m. today, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck Vernon City in the southwest province ... "
The knife slipped and cut her index finger, causing her to wince in pain.
However, her gaze remained fixed on the television screen.
The screen displayed the night view of Vernon City, a familiar sight now shattered and broken, with collapsed buildings, split streets, and ruins everywhere...
Homes destroyed, lives lost.
About ten minutes later, the anchor appeared on the screen to round up the news.
After a long while, Flossie let out a deep sigh.
Blood oozed from the cut on her finger, staining the half-peeled apple in her hand and soaking the tender flesh of the fruit with its bright red color.
She placed the fruit knife and apple aside, and Flossie grabbed a few tissues to dab at the blood.
The cut was deep, and the tissues quickly soaked up with blood, the bright red stains a disturbing sight.
Her movements were shaky for some unexplained reason.
Feeling irritated, Flossie discarded the blood-soaked tissues and fetched two more, pressing them directly onto the wound.
Leaning back heavily against the couch, she lifted her eyes to stare at the television screen.
The rest was just boring news.
