Chapter Text
- Jodie, are you sure about what you said? Or is it just a possibility?
- I looked into the matter more than once, and many sources through the cases my father and his old friends worked on, all the results point to him.
- But that's impossible. That Charles is a spy for Rum that we didn't find out for so long!
- He's been well trained.
- Was he the one who revealed me to the BO? And for that, Rum invited me to that warehouse?
- His man whom you investigated says that he has nothing to do with this matter, but he is the one who told Akemi about the origin of your job……
The place became silent; Jodie couldn't finish the sentence after seeing the sadness and guilt on his face.
- Sorry, Shu, but...
- How did he tell her?
- Have her watching your videos during our secret meetings in America, and you give us some reports.
- Does James know about it?
- He does not know anything about this matter. I secretly began investigating it after I told you about my suspicions about the failure of the secret code in our last collision with the organization.
- Why didn't you tell him?
- It's essential for you in the first place, Shu.
- It's for everyone, Jodie...
She was silent for a moment, then continued her speech, handing him a highly classified file.
- I have prepared a secret plan for you to kill him here in Japan, but...
- Jodie, if you don't tell James about it, he'll think that I killed that man just for my revenge and that I used you for it...
- Let him think that's the point. This would be a source of fame for you and a source of oppression for me... Wasn't it always like this in the first place?
He raised his head to be able to see the look in her eyes, a look full of love, full of loyalty, full of willingness to sacrifice for him, waves of conflicting feelings in her blue eyes...
'What have I done in my whole life for her to love me so much? ' - he asked himself secretly...
She felt like the whole world stopped for a moment when her eyes met his green eyes...
How badly she wants to tell him not to look at her like that...
She does not want to fall in love with him for an unknown time.. is this the hundred? Or a thousand?
The look of amazement in those green eyes captured her heart.
- Jodie...
- If this will bring us closer to the true identity of Rum, then it does not matter what will happen to me, maybe it will end with a punishment from the superiors or being fired from the mission, I do not care about all that, most important of all that we make some progress.
-For once, learn how to not let go, Jodie.
- I've learned how to let go from you, Shuu...
" I've learned how to let go from you, Shuu."
A shiver went through his body from this sentence...
Jodie got up from the chair she was sitting on and approached Shuichi's side as she continued, saying...
-And life taught me what losing, pain, and longing are…
She reached Shuichi and then bent over to him, and in a tone bearing all the love that she had for him inside, she continued...
- And I want you to know one thing, that I will do whatever you wish to, whatever its consequences and despite everyone, because you are the man I love from the bottom of my heart, and for whom I will die.
- Why did you love me this much? - Shuichi suddenly asked her in a tone of exclamation. "
Jodie gave a slight smile as she shrugged...
- I have to go back to the hotel now, waiting for your reply.
- Judy, I'm not going to do what you think.
- Shu don't fool me - She took her bag from the table next to her - James and the others can expect what you are going to do, but I can tell what you won't - She said that as she walked to the door of the Kudo family's house to go out with him
- What is the thing I can't do? -asked her in amazement-
Jodie turned to him with her usual smile, opened her mouth to say something, but backed away, and just said...
- You know my answer, magician, give my regards to the Kudu family. Good night. - she opened the door and came out waving her hands.
- Good night - he said, closing the door behind her.
