"Mom!" Dannah called on her like she had said something devious. When Madam Dianna looked at Dannah her eyes directed her to Ziggy. It was like she was giving her a fair warning that she was acting thoroughly disrespectful of the children's father with her unconscious words.

​​

"Oh my sorry," Madam Dianna hollered immediately when she realized her fault. Of course, it was so impolite of her to say those things in front of Ziggorioh Montreal. "Forgive me youngest sire, I'm an old woman, I say nonsense things most of the time,"

Ziggy only smiled at her but deep inside he was kind of shaking with a bit of fear. If only he knew the Lagdamoe's would come, he should have just left the children in the hotel. As much as possible, he didn't want them to be seen. It was enough that Willow had made some connections with the Lagdameo's, it would be too much if Wolfe would do the same.

"Young sire the children are hungry, I'll take them to town to get something to eat,��� Ang immediately butted in with the intention of taking the children away. It was a mistake of him to bring them back to the Loch but he wasn't aware they had visitors earlier.

"Darryl and I are done talking. We should go together," Xhemin appeared and felt the need to go. She then turned to make some farewell courtesy to the Lagdameo and left the loch with the children.

Dannah had a tough day. She was exhausted and very hungry so the moment she opened the door of her apartment, she headed straight to the kitchen. Like Darryl, she too had her own apartment in the heart of the city. It was her secret hideout when she didn't want to go home in the Marble Mansion like tonight.

Earlier, they went to Hamshire to visit Winter and flew back to the capital at mid-noon. She had some unfinished task in the office so without some paused, from the airport she and Darryl head straightaway to L Empire and work their ass out. She left the office because she was very tired already but Darryl was still there doing some overtime. She wanted to stay with him but she thought he probably needed some time alone.

Dannah rummaged through her fridge and decided she'll have a simple pasta for dinner. She took all the necessary ingredients and started chopping some onions. She was already barefoot as she had thrown her high heels of the moment she entered the door. She took her blazer and skirt off too and so what was left of her was her undershirt in the top and just her panties below. While she was busy chopping, Dannah suddenly noticed that she wasn't alone in the room. However, instead of panicking, she continued chopping as if nothing was wrong and waited for whoever it was to assault her-if he or she can.

A few seconds more and she already felt the other presence getting closer and closer. The person was very light as his or her footsteps didn't make a sound and what all Dannah could hear was the person's breathing. From her assessment, her assailant was a man, probably the same age as her and he smelled like her favorite shampoo. Another second more and Dannah already felt a sharp blade directed at her neck and that was the time she stopped chopping.

"Hi third miss," Her assailant greeted her, "It seemed like you need to stop your cooking,"

Without wasting time, Dannah shoved the hand of the person hard and with her swift strong legs, she kicked and flipped him over that in just five seconds, the man was already on the floor spread all over while Dannah was on top of him, directing the knife she used to chop earlier to the man's face.

"Yes, I need to stop cooking." Dannah smiled deviously, "Since your here, why don't you go ahead and cook for me...Scar,"

The man chuckled at the sound of his name.

"You have grown some butt," Scar commented very much referring to Dannah's behind who was flaunting at him earlier.

"Shut up you pervert," Dannah then stood on her feet and extended a hand to her visitor. When they were both on their feet already, the man took Dannah's knife and he was the one who continued chopping the onions. Dannah, on the other hand, went to her room to grab something to cover her lower body before she went back to the kitchen, sat on the counter, and watched the man cook for him.

"I was here for already a week and you probably didn't notice." Scar told her he was busy cooking. "Have you lost some of your skills already since you started becoming an office woman?"

"I know you are here. Since Monday. You came around 2 pm and went out. Then came back when I was asleep. You grabbed some cookies and stayed in my attic. That was why I was forced to do some groceries the next day because my unwelcome visitor come home,"

"Woahhh!" Scar was impressed with the details. "You are more than a security camera,"

"It's my house, I know every part of it,"

"Speaking about security cameras, you need to install one already. I know you probably don't need it but it does help a lot, Fins," Scar blurted out calling Dannah with her code name-Fin. His lecture about her getting security cameras had been going for years yet Dannah just ignored him. The girl just didn't want it.

Dannah just rolled her eyes at him. "Where had you been this time?"

***

"Asia. Six countries," Scar answered right away. Whenever he comes home, they make it a tradition for him to tell her all of his adventures. Scar was Dannah's best friend and her first love. However, she had outgrown that love already and considered it nothing but some sort of a puppy young love. She liked and preferred their friendship more and he was the closest man she had in her life next to her brother or probably more close than her brother. Scar knows every bit of her including her dealings with her uncle and her underground activities, something that Dannah doesn't share with Darryl and Dian. Aside from that, Scar and she grow up together, they both trained under her uncle Franco, went to missions together until Scar decided to leave the group and chase his dream of seeing every part of the world.
