Follow me!

HARRY

Yelena gave Kate an unreadable look before shrugging uninterestedly.

"So what brings you here?"

Kate stared at her for about a minute in silence, as if waiting for something.

She cocked an eyebrow.

"Seriously? Do you have to be that rigid?"

Kate maintained her silence until Yelena gave in.

"Fine," she groaned. "Follow me."

She led us across the white expansive space which was devoid of anything else except the reception desk.

Walking across the emptiness of the hall made the desk itself seem ominous.

Yelena was dressed in a white shirt which was see-through and a black tight skirt which barely covered her ass which bounced wildly as she walked. She completed her dressing with lace stockings and finally a pair of black heels. She was an extremely erotic sight.

And I couldn't help but ogle at the bouncing behind in front of me.

"Be careful what you wish for," Kate warned as we walked side by side.

"Huh? I didn't wish for anything," I replied with a confused expression.

She gestured towards the jiggling ass in front of us.

"That ass is as poisonous as you can imagine. One taste of it and you might have to pay with your life."

I cocked an eyebrow at that.

"And who's gonna kill me? You or her?"

She shrugged in response.

"I don't care what you do with your free time as long as it doesn't affect your duties to me. But that ass would cost you if you were ever to get involved with it."

We soon got to the office whose door was hardly noticeable because it blended quite well with the white bleak walls.

Yelena placed her hand in the door and it slowly slid to the side, ushering us in. She walked in and stopped, looked around her office for a little while and sighed.

"This place is boring."

"The receptionist desk isn't any fun either," Kate retorted. "You are the only one there."

"Exactly," she replied as she glared at Kate with a pout. "I have the time to enjoy something I love by myself without any distractions. Until your annoying appearance, that is."

'What the hell is wrong with that woman? A receptionist isn't one unless they have people to actually guide.'

Her glare then turned to me.

"You definitely thought that I was crazy, right?"

I froze at the accuracy of her words.

"You thought so, didn't you?" she probed.

"Stop hassling my bodyguard," Kate sighed. "You know that you are crazy."

She turned to Kate, and her pout immediately dissipated into an eeriely beautiful smile.

"My dear, Kate."

The next second, she wrapped her hands around Kate's next and locked her lips with hers.

Kate seemed dazed at the suddenness of her actions but soon regained her senses and pushed her away.

"Oh, come on, Yelena. I've told you to stop doing this. I don't swing that way."

"You don't have to," she winked. "I can handle you without you having to do anything. I just need your permission."

"And I won't give it you," Kate retorted.

I just stood there with a somewhat puzzled expression, wondering if I should be witnessing this.

Yelena's hands soon fixated on me. She did a once-over of me and smiled seductively.

"My type of man."

She unbuttoned the top buttons of her shirt which revealed her cleavage and the fact that she wasn't wearing any bra. She then winked at me.

"Wanna see more?"

"We have a job to do, Yelena," Kate interrupted. "And I came here for a reason."

"Of course, you did," she rolled her eyes. "You are no fun."

She blew me a kiss and unbuttoned the third button before turning around and walking to her seat behind the desk

Kate gestured for me to seat on one of the seats on the opposite side as she took one.

"So," Yelena asked with a bored expression. "What brings you here, White Lie?"

"I want to use one of my three favours," Kate replied calmly.

Yelena cocked an eyebrow.

"Are you sure?"

Kate shrugged.

"You don't need to be asking me that when you know the enemy we are about to face."

She sighed.

"What do you need?"

Kate stared at her calmly as she stated her wish.

"I want you to get me Filer."

She cocked an eyebrow.

"That man is the most elusive individual in the whole of Grimmsville. There's literally no way to get a hold of him. You're not the first person who has asked for him."

"I know that," Kate replied. "This isn't the first time I've asked for him either."

"And why haven't you found him?"

Kate glared at her.

"Are you gonna help me or not?"

She sighed.

"Even if I were to be capable of getting him to you and I'm not saying I am, you know he wouldn't help you. He hates your guts and probably hates your existence even more."

I gave them both a curious look. I've heard of the name Filer during my time in the force and if I'm not mistaken, he is presently one of the most wanted criminals in the city.

He's a sniper and a masterfully skilled one at that. He is responsible for at least two or three thousand assasinations over the span of ten years. In addition to that, his range is unknown and he has never been found within ten to thirty meters around his intended targets.

Even worse, the man is deviously cunning, making him extremely slippery and basically impossible to catch. I personally have been one of his many playthings in the police force. He gave us clues and then disappears from the face of the Earth, leaving a bloodied nail filer in whatever location he allowed himself to be last seen.

Everytime, a female is discovered to have been sexually assaulted and murdered in brutal fashion, earning him the name, Filer.

'What does he have to do with Kate though? Enough to hate her."

"Can you get him or not?" Kate asked, a little agitated. A foreign look of her as I've never seen her openly express any emotion except confidence and glee. She must be really comfortable around Yelena.

Yelena stared at her for a few minutes and then laid back on her seat.

"One favour isn't enough. You'll need to do more than that. Bear in mind that if you exhaust your favours then you have to complete a task specified by us to gain your original three favours. Remember, I'm your friend but I don't control the board. They won't be lenient."

Kate stared at the desk with a bit of worry in her eyes. Again, a foreign emotion.

"Will two favours do?"

Yelena stared at her with pity in her eyes.

"I can get you a different sniper, one as good as Filer. It doesn't have to be him."

"Will two favours be enough?" Kate insisted.

Yelena let out a defeated sigh.

"I've never been a fan of your hardheaded stubbornness. I'd rather be talking with Peggy right now but I guess the poor girl is a lot more stressed that you are right now."

Kate finally looked up from the desk.

"So? What do you say?"

Yelena shrugged.

"It isn't enough. Filer is a rabid dog and you need to hire his tamer along with him which costs two credits already. Filer's gun, Snipey; I know the name is stupid but the owner isn't exactly same either so bear with me. His gun is treated as an entity of its own by Filer. That means you would need a favour to get him to answer your call."

"I see....." Kate trailed.

But Yelena smiled.

"Don't worry your pretty face, Kate. I'll take of it. Two will be enough."

She then winked at her.

"I accept payment in kind. I can drug you while I do it too. You won't feel a thing."
