Lennyka waited patiently in room sixty-nine, bopping her head along one one of her favorite songs blaring out of her pair of headphones. Not hearing Osmond enter, she jumped when she felt them suddenly slide from her ears. Turning to the officer standing beside her, the Rocket agent watched as he slipped them over his own ears then suddenly ripped them away and throw them back to her. "Yeesh, you're doing to go deaf if you keep it that high, you weeaboo," he said teasingly. "Screw you," Lennyka huffed as she shot a glare his way and turned her MP3 player off. "But you showed, that's good." "It's not like I have anything else better to do," he replied. "Huh?" Lennyka tilted her head at him. "What do you mean?" "Your little show at the coffee shop in Katarina nearly cost me my job," he informed her. "Oh..." she said, bowing her head in slight dejection from the blame. Osmond's eyes widened his eyes at her response. Wasn't she supposed to be part of Team Rocket exacting an all-or-none death sentence on his girlfriend? He inwardly sighed. This girl is just a giant, effing puppy, he thought. And the officer was right. She looked up to him with her large, fallow eyes pleadingly, watered over by what seemed to be the early stage of tears. "I don't know what I'm doing..." she replied. "And I'm sorry for inconveniencing you."

Osmond quirked a brow at her. "Are you drunk?" he asked her suddenly.
Lennyka pursed her lips. "No!" she cried aloud. "I'm not! I just wanted to apologize for all of the stupid s**t I've done... Everything."
Scratching the top of his head, Osmond moved himself to sit at the armchair near the window. Glancing out of the glass, he shifted himself uncomfortably. This place always the worst furniture, he thought to himself before looking back to Lennyka.
"That's not something you should be telling me," he replied. "Pray to Arceus if you're having existential frustrations -- I only solve sexual ones."
"Rraagh!" Lennyka grunted as she beat her fists on the edge of the bed. "Would you stop with the flirting!? Here I am trying to own up to my mistakes and you're not taking me seriously... Have you any humanity? For as long as I've lived... All I've ever done is jump into situations without thinking of the consequences. Joining Team Rocket, wanting revenge on Cetus, cutting off my long hair... I did all of it without thinking thoroughly... Arceus..." Lennyka cupped her hands over her face as she poured her heart out to Osmond. "What the hell is wrong with me..."
"Aha..." Osmond's lips were slanted on his face. "Listen, Lennyka... I'm not suited for things like this... Have you considered seeing a therapist?"
Lennyka glared at him. "If been through four in my life since I was sixteen," she snapped. "Don't you dare tell me what I need when it hasn't worked out!"
"Oh... But still, I'm not qualified to help you haul your emotional baggage. What do you want me to do? Tell you everything is going to be all right?"
"...Yes."
"Everything is going to be all right."

"You're such an a*****e..." she muttered with a sniffle.
"The hell?" Osmond said firmly. "I just told you what you wanted to hear, Arceus damn it. I told you I can't do this s**t. I mean, you're a little out of line calling me out here just to spew your troubles. Have you even considered mine?"
"Then why'd you come!?"
"Because I thought you were still steadfast on finding Cetus! Duh!"
"I- I-!" Suddenly, Lennyka launched from her seat and steadied a gloved hand to slap him across the face. The officer caught her hand before she could do so. She squeaked at his fingers curved about hers and the hard glare he gave her through his hangover.
"You're just a little girl," he said snidely as he crooked her arm and tossed it away from his face. "A lonely little girl... I'm right, ain't I? Did you think you'd find a friend in me... A stranger... And a cop at that?"
"I..." the teal-haired girl stepped back from him and sat back onto the bed, curling herself up into the fetal position. "I didn't... But..."
Osmond thumbed his temple. What have I gotten myself into...

"But what?"
"You remind me of him... My brother."
"Huh," Osmond breathed. "I'm guessing something happened to him?"
Lennyka nodded, forming her forefinger and thumb into a horizontal L and pointing it at the temple of her head to indicate what he did.
"Oh man..." the officer muttered. "Damn, I didn't know. But I'm not your brother, Lennyka, I can't replace him."
"I never asked that of you," she replied. "You're the first person that talks to me like I'm a person. I got unreasonably attached to you despite knowing so little about you... I'm sorry."
Osmond pursed his lips. "That's fine... I don't mind if you did," he responded, "It happens. But if you're looking for me to become your friend... I just don't think it would work out. I'm sorry."

Lennyka didn't look directly at him. "Then we're done here?"
"We're done here. I'll leave first."
Osmond rose up from his seat and exited from the hotel door. Bidding the man at the counter goodbye, the officer was only a few steps from the establishment before his cell phone began to vibrate. Tensing up at the call, he hastily flipped it open expecting it to me his job, but it was Cetus.
"Hey," she panted into the phone.
"Hey..." Osmond trailed off. "You sound like you're out of breath; what's up?"
"I'm... I'm in the middle of a- Whoa!"
Gunshots ricocheted in the background followed by the scrapping of plastic against the pavement. Osmond's eyes widened as the sounds.
"Hey... Shinju? Shinju, are you okay!?" he shouted in the phone.
After a thick swallow, the grunt replied, "Yea, I'm fine... They don't know where I am, so I'll be safe for the few minutes until they find me."
"Well, err..." Osmond sighed internally. What kind of women did he attract? "Why'd you call? Didn't you say you want to keep communication between us strained?"
"I wanted to-" Her voice was drowned out in a rain of bullets.
"C-Could you repeat that?" Osmond asked with a hitch of fright in his voice.
"I said," Cetus repeated, "That b***h that is tracking me, did you throw her off?"

"For the time being, yes," Osmond answered her. "But you're a bit of a d**k, Cetus, telling me not to get close to her. The damn girl is lonely and just wants a friend... I don't mind being that to her."
"The hell, Osmond." Cetus huffed. "Never mind the fact my life is in danger, you want to be her friend? She's a member of Team Rocket, not a stray Meowth!" A man shouted, but his words were barely audible to Osmond over the phone. "s**t-! Look, as long as she is off my trail, you needn't concern yourself with her. I have to go!"
"B-Bye!" Osmond was positive Cetus did not hear his farewell. Sighing to himself, he slapped his phone shut and stuffed it back into his pocket. Casting one last look back to the hotel, he turned on his heel and kept on walking. It was time to drink himself silly again.
