Louisa walked slowly and very uninspired from inside the police building. Her head was slightly lowered staring at each step that she took there. Not even infrequently, Louisa bumps into other people or objects on around her. From outside the car, where Henry had been waiting for Louisa for a long time, he looked so confusedly at Louisa. Immediately, Henry drew himself closer to Louisa, and wrapped his arms around Louisa's shoulders quite tightly there. 'Hey, Babe… are you okay right now?? You seems spaced out while walking outside the police building..." Henry muttered. The two of them suddenly stopped walking. Louisa then slowly turned her head towards Henry with her eyes looking empty there now. 'Yeah, I think I'm pretty good right now… it's just that I'm a little upset right now. You know... I just really can't explain about it to you." Louisa answered reluctantly. Shrugging her shoulders, and also she really like doesn't want to talk about it any further right now. Henry took a deep breath. 'Upsets? But why?? Did anything Jane say that made you feel this way?? What did she said to you??" Henry asked again, as he began to slowly lead Louisa to be able to walk closer to the car, and enter it. "Huh... I don't know how to explain and tell all the things that Jane said earlier at me to you. It feel so difficult." Louisa muttered in response as soon as she got into the car. So is Henry does the same. Louisa looked at Henry who now also returned his gaze there. 'She talks quite a lot to me back then… I mean, of course I like that things. Because also there will be more and more things that I can know afterwards from her. It's just that Jane's last sentence really annoyed me until right now." Louisa then turned her gaze towards the outside of the car window. Henry slowly began to furrow his brow quite deeply. He felt more and more completely clueless about what Louisa said to him. Feels very ambiguous. 'Louisa, I really don't understand what you said earlier to me about it… can you say it more clearly, please?? What was the last sentence that Jane said???" Henry asked in a slightly pleading tone of voice. Louisa corrected her sitting position, and looked back at Henry. 'Jane said…that she had made a grave mistake by rebelling from her employment contract, and she also said that today might be the last day I can see and see her." Louisa paused her speech. Lifting the palm of his right hand when she felt dizzy and pain in the forehead. There had been too much on her mind lately. And while listening to the explanation Jane gave herself, Louisa felt almost crazy and out of control at that very moment. "W-what???" Henry couldn't believe it. Even his eyes widened for a moment after Louisa said that. 'I know… I know… you don't believe what Jane said. So am I. At first I didn't believe it either. But when I saw the smile on Jane's face after saying all of that things, I knew what she said earlier wasn't a lie though. And I feel really scared right now. What's more, I feel that what Jane said is also true. She might be in danger right now, and I don't even know what to do or how to do about it." Louisa paused again. With a ragged breath, Louisa tried hard to suppress all the emotions that filled her body at this very moment. Henry gripped Louisa's palm tightly. 'Calm yourself, Louisa. Neither of us knew much about what Jane meant either. But I'm sure our boss would never do that to hurt Jane. She is the another one who really do good jobs for all the times..." Henry mumbled and tried to calm Louisa down right now on there. 'I just… I can't, Henry. Jane said all that with confidence on her voice and her facial body gesture. She already betrayed her employment contract with your big boss, and decided to team up with Uncle George. That's a really big things. Even very big. Even though Jane made the mistake of betraying my trust through the burning of the Tomkins House data center building, I can't deny that I care about her. I already consider her as my family for a whole time. Since she worked for me on Tomkins House. And if she's really in this situation, I can't help myself, Henry." Louisa immediately started crying there. And immediately, Henry hugged Louisa's body tightly, while gently rubbing Louisa's back. 'I'm worried too, Louisa. But what can we do. On the one hand, I am also under the same contract as her." Louisa lifted her head and looked at Henry with tears in her eyes right now. 'The other thing I'm worried about is that you could be in danger too, Henry. And I really don't want that to happen . . . not to you, not to Jane, and not to our relationship. I'm really feeling paranoid right now, Henry…" Henry turned to let go of the hug, and cupped Louisa's face using his big palms there. "Nothing will happen. I'm sure of that. As long as we're together, I'm sure we'll be able to face all the things that happen in the future. Then calm down, and be strong for me, Louisa." Louisa gripped Henry's hands which were currently cupping her face tightly. Louisa tried to smile. 'I promise I'll try to…" She mumbled. Henry immediately returned the smile, and gave Louisa a kiss on the lips. It wasn't too long before Henry finally let go of his palms and began to grip the wheel. "Okay. Let's go, and find some peace at home… you really need that, Louisa." Louisa started leaning her body against the car seat. 'I know..." She mumbled and looked out the window. Henry slowly started the car at a moderate speed. 'So… actually, I'm still a little bit curious about what the other Jane said to you earlier back then… I think we can talk about that later at home. Maybe we'll get the answers we need. And we can find the right solution." Henry muttered with a faint smile. "Yeah, we can talk about it at home later. There's a lot of things that I want to say about that. But I'm sure you'll get tired of listening to me." Louisa looked at Henry with a silly smile on her face. She somehow had to be able to fix the emotions she had right now. Louisa didn't want to be too depressed. She couldn't keep feeling pressured about things. Henry nodded his head and returned Louisa's smile on her face. "Well... I'll never get tired of hearing your voice, Louisa. I have already addicted to you..." *** When at home, Louisa immediately said everything that Jane said to Henry. Everything feels weird. To Louisa it still seemed like a scary thing. As for Henry it still seems like a worrying thing. But those two things don't have the slightest difference at all. Henry is worried about Jane's condition in prison, without any supervision from the members of their agency. What's more, anyone could come to the prison to see the prisoners, and it would be very difficult to tighten the guard there for Jane. What's more, Henry himself hasn't even been in touch with his work agency for a long time. He didn't dare to do anything outside of his employment contract, especially with regards to Jane who had clearly rebelled and betrayed their work contract together. He could say that, Jane is no longer the responsibility of the agency, the big boss, Louisa, and also Henry himself. Jane is a nobody anymore. However, Henry couldn't say all that to Louisa, because he was also worried that Louisa would be even more depressed because of it. "Do you think... everything will still be okay after all, Henry?" Louisa asked, as the two of them lay on the balcony of Louisa's room that afternoon. A black mattress and a thin blanket covered the two of them. Louisa was in Henry's tight embrace there. "Of course, and why not? And even if something gonna be happens to both of us, we will both fight to work it all out. We fight for what is justified by our hearts, then it will side with love and positive things. Then in the end… everything will be just fine and happiness will be on our long life then." Henry muttered in response to Louisa. He tightened the hug that was between the two of them now. Louisa nodded her head with a faint motion. 'Yeah, even I can see it from the sky..." She muttered. "What do you see??" Henry asked while glancing at Louisa, with a faint smile on his face. Louisa raised her head and met Henry's gaze. 'Seeing that we will definitely be fine and happy ever after. Because we love each other… we both fell in love..."
