After eting Adam and Silvana a few hours later, Glara went to the store to get groceries, she wasn't in the mood for that, but there was no way out since the stress of the last few days caused her and her parents to eat almost everything they had.
In fact, she decided that it would help her to let go of her heavy thoughts, there was no point in going deeper and deeper into grief, Glara realized that, but it was hard to get away from such a tragedy so quickly.
But... there was more than one eting waiting for her today, Glara only found that out when she crashed into a man in an elegant suit, however, it was the kind of clothes that were perfect for him, who looked impeccable, cunning and attractive, like a butler of so important person.
If so experienced Phantom or military man had been in Glara's place, they would have imdiately sensed the strange aura emanating from this man, the danger would make them wary.
However, that was hardly possible for Glara. She was a simple person who wasn't even going to connect her life with Dead Lands, as she studied not at the academy to beco an Operator or military, but at the institute. In a way, she was innocence itself.
"Morton Observatory...? What is this place?" Glara tilted her head in confusion, taking the man's hand.
Slowly and carefully, the man lifted her off the ground, then without saying anything he bent down and gathered up the food scattered on the ground, taking the bag in his hand.
"I have co from there to escort you to one of the smartest people in our world. So, what is your answer, will you follow ?" The man leaned over, extending his hand to her with a sly smile on his face.
Glara gulped, she didn't expect such an offer from a man she didn't know at all.
"I'm sorry, but I'll probably decline, maybe soti later? Now is not the best ti for random encounters... Moreover, I don't even know your na." Glara cast her gaze to the side, she was both confused and embarrassed.
The man in front of her had all the necessary qualities to make a young girl like her blush.
"Oh, right, how uncultured of ." The man smiled gently taking Glara's hands in his. Their gazes t, she could see her reflection in his blue, clear-as-the-sky eyes.
"My na is Gladius, nice to et you Glara."
Glara blinked a few tis, about to introduce herself in response, but soon her eyes went wide with realization.
"What...? How do you know my na?"
Gladius answered nothing, instead, he pointed to his belt where sohow there was a red book, Lero's Nexus.
"Agh...? How? I definitely left it at ho..." Glara muttered in a trembling voice, gradually she began to realize that she better avoid this encounter.
Gladius smirked, releasing Glara's hand.
"Well, I decided to pick it up beforehand so I wouldn't have to go back and waste ti." Gladius explained before glancing at his watch.
Glara didn't know it, but then Gladius looked at his NEP, which was different from the NEPs of the other Phantoms, it was black with a purple fra. It seed that the appearance of his NEP didn't have any hidden aning, it just went well with his appearance that he carefully chose.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but our ti is coming to an end. Well, you weren't going to agree anyway, so don't bla for what happened." Gladius shrugged nonchalantly as if it was no big deal, they were just in a hurry.
"No... Get away from ... I don't want to be a part of anything weird!" Glara uttered, taking steps back and away from Gladius.
Whoooooooosh.
Gladius's free hand turned into a shadow. A gleam flickered in Glara's eyes as the thin needle plunged into her neck, a second later the syringe was empty and Glara's eyes clouded over.
Her legs went limp as she fell to the ground.
Tap.
Stepping forward, with a deft movent of his arm, Gladius caught Glara like a dancer catching his partner during a complex movent, his gracefulness was enough for both of them.
"Phew, made it in ti. The last few weeks have been quite challenging for you, haven't they?" Gladius smiled, looking at the already sleeping Glara who hadn't heard him.
Stepping aside, Gladius carefully placed Glara in the car, in the back seat, rembering to put the grocery bag next to her.
No one could interrupt him, as Gladius specifically chose this spot, where it was dark and people rarely passed by. Moreover, he did everything quickly.
Crackle.
Closing the door, Gladius got behind the driver's seat and the car touched off, heading towards one of the farthest points of the Citadel - Morton Observatory.
"First your birthday, then your brother's death, when you t with Adam Vinter sothing happened to you... It's quite curious." Gladius muttered, pondering the situation.
Even though he just kidnapped Glara, he wasn't a villain or a criminal, he was simply doing his job where his personal interest was involved.
Gladius was one of those people who helped Aiden Henk bring his crazy ideas and assumptions to life.
Gladius cast a final glance at the sleeping Glara before the car disappeared into the shadows.
"Hmm... It's entirely possible that this isn't the end for the Fratto Family, not that I care, but this is an unusual situation."
...
The hot steam from two cups of coffee drifted in front of the two people who felt the tension even though they shouldn't have.
"So... You want to end our relationship, did I understand you correctly?" Jena asked looking at Adam, there was a slight, expected sadness in her gaze.
Adam nodded.
"Mostly I agreed because it was sothing new and unexpected for . I think I was driven by interest since I didn't develop any powerful feelings for you that I could call love."
Jena smiled bitterly.
"Well, it's good that you finally said that. You may not be my man, but you are a man. I get it, you're probably thinking about Dead Lands and monsters right now, not relationships, and you're younger than ." Jena smiled, she took this news much easier than Adam expected.
Then, before Adam could say anything, Jena walked over to him and took him firmly by the collar, sitting down on his lap.
"You're not ready for a serious relationship yet, for a variety of reasons, but... that doesn't an we should stop communicating. What's more, a young man like you needs regular sex!" Jena exclaid with an excited expression before kissing him deeply, leaving no room for argunt.
Perhaps, Adam wanted to pull Jena away from him, but the desire to feel pleasure and relax in the gentle embrace quickly consud him.
In a heartbeat, his hands found themselves on Jena's body, giving him complete freedom of action.
Fighting against Plague Reaper, the deaths of his fellows, and killing hundreds of monsters in dangerous situations was a heavy stress for any Phantom, Adam was no exception.
His mind and body desperately wanted to rest and relieve himself of the heavy weight and... when Jena herself moved into action, he could no longer stop.
