Earlier this morning I had made a deal with Skye, if I won against Lynx I had to ask Midas to try some ice cream if I lose I have to do that anyways but- I had to call it a date. I was kind of a nervous wreck, I better not mess this up.

The rest of the day was everyone's free period, Midas let them go out and do what they do.

Skye and Ollie went up to the mountains. Tina told me she'd be at The Rig trying some new explosives, typical. Journey, Tek and Lynx were planning on attending boat races. And a the other folks I didn't hear from.

But, it was pretty much just me and Midas today.

I lightly knocked on Midas' office door and opened up the large doors.

"Hey Midas, I think you deserve a...break want to get some ice cream with me?"

"I don't see why not" Midas responded.

-

"My question is why your parents would do that" I laugh.

"My parents could never afford it growing up so they would tell me that it would make your teeth fall out and turn your hair grey" Midas explained with a shrug. I let out a little laugh. We were walking to Soft-deez in Sweaty Sands. We decided to walk because it was a beautiful day out.

"Even though you've told me that it's actually really adorable" I admit. The fact that such a serious man oddly used to believe such non-sense. "Not as-" I was cut of at at the sound of multiple quad crashers ahead of us.

"Shadow quads?" Midas mumbled.

"Wha-wait here?" I ask fearfully. Midas placed a gold pistol in my hand.

A group of quad crashers parked next to us. I stepped back in fear but I saw...familiar faces. reveal.Whiplash and Bubbles!?

"Oh my god! Y/N!" Whiplash huffs. She hopped off the vehicle, tripping over her feet and gave me a very tight hug.

It took me a moment to process that my best friend was hugging me again.

"I- Whiplash! Thank goodness you're okay!" I cried wrapping my arms around her. Bubble Bomber, Brite Gunner and...a ton of shadow hostages were behind her.

"Oh....my" I say under my breath. I turn around and motion for Midas to come closer.

"This is my friend Whiplash, she was one of the ones that I was looking for. The one that *cough cough* blew up the Heli"

"Heh heh, sorry 'bout that" Whiplash rubs her neck bashfully.

Eventually she straightens herself and examines Midas casually.

Midas doesn't catch her gaze and decides to greet Brite Gunner, shaking his hand.

Whiplash pulls me aside and wiggles her eyebrows "Damn, he's pretty in person" she teases.

"He's just my boss- a-and friend?" I reply shyly.

"Boss, boyfriend, whatever, if he hurts you come get me" Whiplash playfully punches my shoulder.

"Ow! Okay!" I rub my shoulder.

"Anyways! Shadow is looking for you, they have a tracker and everything...they're planing a riot thingy that was supposed to happen tonight. We got rid of their Choppa's and quads, but that won't hold them back for long" Whiplash explained with an smug smile.

Midas came up next to me and kindly motioned me to give his pistol back. I carefully placed it on his gloved palm.

"How do you know they are tracking her?" Midas inquired.

"That morning when we came back, I was tied up and interrogated. I was convinced Y/N was killed but, Sorana she pulled up a tracker" Whiplash explained. "She wanted me to find and kill her but...I could never.."

"Hmm" I think about any possible way they have been tracking me. While I thought Whiplash spoke with the others and told them to go home and prepare for tomorrow?

"They might have implanted beneath your skin" Midas frowned. I wince at the thought.

"I'll make sure that we keep protection at max at the agency, they aren't just looking for Y/N, right?" Midas said.

I place my hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure of it" I say reassuringly. He gave a half-hearted smile.

I noticed Midas became distant as Whiplash spoke.

"Go and deal with it, I'll be at the Agency in a moment" Midas said randomly. I then realized he was speaking through his ear piece.

"Everything okay?" I asked worriedly.

"Shadow blew up the Rig" Midas responded.

"What how!?"

"Shit...we weren't able to get rid of boats" Bubbles realizes.

Oh no...
