I drove to the NWG building and walked in.

"Vince!" I called out.

"Hey what's the big idea?" Vince said in his Italian accent.

"Haha real funny Vince." I said.

"Bada Bing Bada boom, that's what I always say." Vincent said while laughing.

Khalil walked out and greeted me, I looked at the two of them.

"Where's Drew?" I asked.

"Oh he's out selling that Star Emerald, he should be back later tonight." Vincent said.

"Oh okay, well tell him that I need to speak with him urgently." I said.

"What for?" Khalil asked.

"It's... complicated, but we may have another kill/capture operation." I said.

"Must be pretty important if the leader of the NWG is calling a hit." Vince said.

"You have no idea..." I said.

I looked down at my watch to display 5:45.

"Ah shit. I gotta jump, I'll see you guys later." I said.

I waved them goodbye and I got in my car. I drove to the address that Yuri gave me and I parked out front.

Yuri had a small house that was quite unkept. That was probably because she stayed at Monika's warehouse most of the time.

I went up and knocked on the door. I waited about 30 seconds until I heard footsteps.

A familiar purple haired girl came to the door wearing a white sweatshirt and long skinny jeans.

"So glad you could make it!" Yuri said while pulling me in for a big hug.

"Good to see you too." I said.

I walked into Yuri's house to see that the inside is quite clean. She didn't have much stuff however.

In her living room there was just a couch, an old TV, and a coffee table.

"Nice place you got here." I said.

"Oh thank you, I don't have very many visitors." she said.

"Maybe I could fix that?" I said jokingly.

"I'd like that."

I walked into the kitchen to see Yuri standing over a stove. I walked up behind her and looked over her shoulder.

"So watcha making?" I asked.

"Oh... j-just a little recipe I found online."

It looked like a pasta of some sort with a bunch of vegetables in it.

"Well it surely looks good." I said.

My face was right next to Yuri's, and I could hear her breathing begin to slow down and take deeper breaths.

I sat down on the couch and looked at my phone. I had some notifications on Wattpad and other text messages.

One was from my friend Drew.

D: What's going on?

S: Cosgrove...

D: Yeah, he's dead.

S: He back man... me and you will talk tomorrow. How about at that bar over on Colerain?

D: If you're buying, I'm in

S: Deal

I looked up to see Yuri standing over top of me with a bowl in her hand. She handed me the bowl and I looked down at it.

"Oh wow, this looks great. Thank you." I said.

Yuri let out a smile and sat down next to me.

I took a bite of my noodles and it tasted great.

"Wow this is really good." I said.

"Oh... thank you. I never had anyone enjoy my cooking before." Yuri said.

"Hey do you got a bathroom by any chance?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, down that hallway to the left." Yuri said.

"Thanks." I said.

I sat down my bowl and went down the hallway that Yuri pointed to. I looked around and saw that a door was slightly crept open.

I pushed the door open and realized that this was Yuri's room. I looked over at her wall and saw a large case hanging on it.

It had knives of varying sizes, shapes, and scariness... if that's a word.

On her nightstand was a small familiar looking pen and a book with a eye on the front of it. On her wall, right above her bed, was a carving of an eye.

"Oh... fuck..." I said while backing out of her room. I grabbed the book and tucked it into my suit jacket.

I felt a cold presence behind me as I backed up. I bumped into something and felt a soft sensation on my back.

I turned around and saw Yuri standing behind me.

"W-what are you doing in here?" Yuri asked.

"I uh... uh..." I fumbled with my words until Yuri looked at the ground.

"Did you want to... um..." Yuri stuttered with her words as she moved her left foot on the ground.

"Sorry I dropped something and it rolled under the door." I said.

"O-oh okay." Yuri said while nervously laughing.

I looked at my watch and saw that the time was almost 9:00.

"Hey I better get going, it's getting a little late." I said.

"Oh so soon? I got this for us though..." Yuri said as she pulled out a familiar bottle of wine.

It was the bottle of wine that me and Yuri drank right before we... well we drank that wine.

"I-Is she trying to seduce me?" I thought to myself.

"Look I'd love to stay and have a drink but I have to get home." I said.

"Oh okay..." Yuri said discouraged.

"I'll give you this though." I said. I grabbed Yuri by her waist and pulled her in for a kiss, getting her by surprise.

I pulled away and looked into Yuri's eyes. Her pupils were gone, her eyes were just a dark shade of purple.

"Heeeeeh... heeeeeh..." Yuri let out while breathing heavily.

"I'll see you later Yuri." I said while I closed the door behind me. Yuri just stood there as I closed the door.

"Well that's 3 out of 4. I just have one more girl to check up on before I can retire for tonight." I said to myself.

I got in my SUV and made my way to Monika's place... well rather her warehouse.

I walked down the lonely and quiet corridors until I made it to Monika's office.

The light was off so I flicked it on. Monika was sitting at her desk just waiting in the dark.

"Monika are you okay?" I asked.

"Is it really true?" Monika asked me.

"What?" I asked.

"Are you really him? Are you the Spencer I once loved? Please don't lie to me... I can't take much more of... this." Monika said sad low voice.

I pulled the envelope out of my jacket and pulled out the picture of me and Monika.

"Do you remember this?" I asked her.

Monika scanned the picture and stood up. She walked over to me with her head down, still scanning the picture.

"I-I remember... I never wanted that moment to end... so why does it feel so long ago?" Monika said.

"All moments have to end... but we can always make new ones." I said.

Monika walked towards me and hugged my chest tightly.

"Why... why did this happen to me? I deleted my friends and then the one man that I loved had to die on me." Monika said while she began to cry.

"Monika I'm..." I tried to talk but I had trouble getting my words out.

"Why me... why me... why me..?" Monika chanted as tears came out of her eyes.

"Monika please... It's my fault..." I said.

Monika's grip on me began to get weaker as she began to break down in tears.

"Why do you still love me? I almost shot you." Monika asked.

"Because you stayed by my side." I said.

I wiped the tears off of Monika's face.

"When you were in that game, there was nothing more that I wanted than to meet you, to actually touch you... to love you..." I said. "You're everything I ever wanted. I know you would love me no matter what I did, so I do the same to you. No matter what you do wrong, I will always love you."

"I...I..." Monika couldn't get her words out.

"I don't deserve you..." Monika said.

"You're right... you deserve better than me..." I said.

I crouched on the ground leaning my back on the back of Monika's desk. Monika sat next to me, still trying to stop crying.

"It's unconditional love... and that'll never disappear." I said.

"I love you... so much...." Monika said.

"I love you too Monika..." I said softly.

Monika rested her head on my shoulder and I think she fell asleep. I closed my eyes as well and me and Monika fell asleep next to each other on the front of her desk.
