As Nez took the can that he had held out to her, Frey gave a small reassuring smile. He was use to these kinds of situations, but having someone outside of the organization getting stuck into it with him... that was new. Watching as Nez released the can, followed by a loud crashing sound that made Frey figure she'd taken down a display, Frey couldn't help the smile that came to his face as he kept himself from letting out a small chuckle before Nez looked at him with an apology. "Nah, that was perfect."he spoke quietly his smile widening a bit more. Footsteps could be heard around the stores heading to the location of the destroyed display, one member even shouting out that they'd found him. Before Frey said anything, Nez had grabbed his hand and led the way over to aisle seven."Hey, we're outside. You safe?" John's voice spoke through his earpiece."Yeah, we're in aisle seven."Frey responded. "We're?" John questioned a small teasing tone coming into his voice. "Shut up, John. They should be over by aisle one." Frey spoke a slight blush coming to his face. Turning his gaze onto Nez after a moment to try and recompose himself, Frey gave her a small smile"They're outside. Which way towards the exit? We're going to want to meet them at the end of the aisle or so." he asked trying to get an idea of the layout.
Without warning, the sound of the exit doors opening followed by quickened footsteps entered the store. It only took a moment for an all to familiar voice to call out to him from the end of the aisle. "Not hurt are you, Frey?" chimed John as he gave a small wave and lowered the pistol, glad that the aisle was clear before heading over to Frey and Nez. Frey let out a small sigh of relief and led Nez over to the red head. A sly smile came to John's face as he noticed Frey holding the girl's hand. "Come on rey-rey, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend here?"John teased. Frey's face almost immediatly turned red as he became conscious the he was still holding Nez's hand, and he relaxed his grip so Nez could pull away if she wanted. "Oh, right.... ummm." John cut him off with a small chuckle and gave Frey a light rub on the head with his free hand before turning to Nez and holding a hand out. "John Carver, I'm Frey's friend and co-worker. It's a pleasure to meet you." John smiled, more than confident that the rest of the squad could deal with the members of the Order. Besides, it was his job to get to Frey, retrieve the awkward hacker, always his job, and always his favorite. A lot of the other members of the organization felt weird around Frey, the boy often zoning out or just unable to socialize well, but John was social enough for the both of them, and he'd made it his own mission to befriend the hacker. It didn't take long for John to officially become Frey's guardian of sorts.
x x xAfter Nez and Frey got to aisle seven, Nez heard Frey talk back to the voice in his earpiece again. This time he sounded a little flusted as he told 'John' to shut up. Oh...must be John again...hmm..I wonder why he's involved in this too... She thought for a second until she noticed Freys cheeks turning a bit red. Nez wanted to ask him what was wrong but stopped herself since he just looked too cute right now. Frey suddenly looked over at Nez. Why can't I think straight/i] "Uhm...." She thought for a quickl second, blinking out of her trance. "It's three aisles to the left, after aisle ten." Nez answered and was once again trapped under his gaze and smile and just couldn't look away. You are so interesting Frey...I want to learn more about you...
Just then, the doors to the exit opened and footsteps of more people entering the store were heard. Nez tensed up, her eyes wide and fearful as she looked over at the new people, a red head with a gun caught her eye first. He asked Frey if he was hurt? Is that a friends or something? When Nez heard Frey sighing, she knew that they were in the clear, all of his features screamed relief. So she started to feel the same way as Frey led her by the hand towards the red head.
Rey-rey? Nez couldn't help but giggle at Freys nickname, this in turn made her realise that they were still holding hands. She felt Frey relax his grip considerably enough for her to slip out, at first she hesitated to take her hand away from his since she had already grown accustomed to the warmth from the contact. But she then thought that since they were out of danger now maybe he didn't want to hold her hand anymore, Since we're safe now there was no longer a reason to keep holding hands... She thought sadly but looked up at Frey anyway as he introduced his friend. Nez had already let go of Frey's hand. "So you're John, I've heard some things about you...Thank you so much for coming..." She bowed politely in thanks with a smile on her face. "My names Agnes Mari...but you can call me Nez..." She introduced herself while resisting to bombard them with all the questions whirling in her mind right now. I'll just wait until we're out of here. I'm so curious it's driving me crazy! John looked super confident and full with energy, his red hair matched with his eyes, and if she didn't know any better she could swear that he looked like some kind of agent. I mean it could be possible after all this happening...but wait, if he's an agent and he came in with so many other people just to save Frey then what does that make Frey? Nez then realized something else, her heart starting beating rapidly again. And because I witnessed all of this, does this mean that I know too much now...a-are they going to kill me now?! Or erase my memory so I never remember meeting Frey? Nez was starting to panic inwardly but her smile remained on her face as John smiled down at her and as she heard the other people John came with finish whatever they were doing in the first aisle. She looked back at Frey with a forced smile and with a hint of fear in her eyes. "A-Are you guys going to get rid of me now?" She gulped and bit her lip nervously as she played with her hands. "I-I promise I won't tell...I...I won't I" Nez was blabbing in a panic and looked down with her eyes tightly shut preventing any tears from escaping. There goes my chances on a new start....and I was really starting to like Frey...

Normally Frey would mention to John not to call him 'rey-rey' but the relief of having Nez safe had his mind elsewhere. A light blush came to his face as he heard a small giggle from Nez, who apparently was amused with the nickname. As the two introduced themselves, Frey felt Nez release his hand, and part of him actually felt a bit upset, though it didn't show and quickly faded away. John smiled as Nez introduced herself"Nice to meet you Nez." John spoke then looked to Frey a playful smirk on his face. Frey looked up at the red head already knowing what John was going to be teasing him about. Frey quickly brought his hands up in front of himself in a stop motion, his face reddening a bit more. "Ummm, she's the house keeper..... remember you made me put up that ad..... and yeah...." Frey stuttered, only getting a chuckle from John. The hacker always flustered so easily, it was hard for John not to tease him. A moment later Nez spoke up, asking if they were going to get rid of her, making both of the boys turn to her with a questioning look. John spoke up first, figuring that the hacker didn't know what Nez was talking about. "Nez, it's okay. We're the good guys." he chuckled lightly. Hearing footsteps approaching, John turned his gaze onto another agent as he appeared at the end of the aisle "We're clear. Get him out of here."the man spoke and left after getting a small nod from John."Come on, we'll sort this out back at HQ. You have a cart?" John asked turning back to the two"Know where you left it? I'll have one of the guys handle it."John spoke mostly looking at Nez, sure that Frey didn't have a clue where the cart was at this point. "Follow me, please." John smiled slightly before turning and heading towards the exit, slipping his pistol back into it's holster on his hip. Frey let out a small sigh, just glad that the ordeal was over with, though now there was the problem of Nez knowing about stuff she shouldn't. Looking over at Nez, Frey gave her a small awkward smile "Don't worry, it'll be fine. Promise." he spoke trying to reassure her before following behind John.
x x xNez felt a huge wave of relief and also a hint a slight embarrassment. If they actually wanted to get rid of her, they would've done so eons ago. She calmed down and tried to slow her heart beat to compose herself from her little freak out. Then she thought about what Frey had said before. Her heart constricted uncomfortably in her chest as her blood ran cold for a second. He said that she was just the house keeper he was forced to hire. Nothing else. I'm not even a friend... She brushed it off but she still felt a little hurt from the comment. Scarlet turned to John again. "We...left it in...uhm...aisle two I belive." She answered John question forcing a small smile. Everything seemed to be calming down in the store, and with every passing second Scarlet had a new question pop into her head. But it'll just have to wait until later. John started to lead a way and Nez and Frey began to follow. Nez noticed John slip the gun back into a safe place so she felt even more relived it was out of her sight now. As they walked, she forced herself to glance at Frey, and she saw that he was already looking at her. She heard his comfort and felt the support he was giving her so she gave him a warm smile and a nod. The smile felt a but forced since she was still a little hurt from what he said before but she walked close to him nonetheless, he makes her feel safe no matter what she feels. "Thanks Frey..." She wanted so badly to hold his hand but his voice kept echoing in her head. She's the housekeeper...housekeeper...housekeeper... "I'll make sure to make a great dinner tonight..." Nez added in a forced cheerful tone as they continued walking behind John.

John gave a small nod of acknowledgement as Nez mentioned where they'd left their cart. Reaching the exit, John looked at one of the agents standing at the door, "Cart in aisle two. Mind handling that? We're heading to HQ."John spoke calmly, continuing through the door as the agent gave a nod and a small smile. Frey followed after the red head, thoughts going through his head, only snapping out of it as he heard Nez speak beside him. Turning to her, Frey smiled a bit as Nez stated she'd make a great dinner tonight. He had to admit, already, Nez was making his life better. Having her around just felt... natural. "Sounds good. Thanks Nez." he spoke warmly.
As the group approached a black van, John opened up the back, revealing two rows of seats, one on either side of the van, lights turning on brightening up the once dark part of the vehicle. On the front end of the section was a small sliding glass window, to allow the driver and passengers to communicate. Getting into the van, John took a seat by the front end, reaching in one of the compartments under the seats and pulling out a silver briefcase. Frey was next to enter the van, and turned, holding a hand out to Nez to help her in should she want the help, a soft reassuring smile on his face. "Sorry about all this." he chuckled sheepishly.
"HQ" John informed the driver, through the now open window. The driver gave a nod"You got it." he responded, starting up the engine which let out a small hum. Once Nez was inside, Frey took a seat across from John, giving the seat next to him a small pat to let Nez know she could sit there. "Honestly, I'm a bit surprised to see you out with someone." John let out a small chuckle. Frey's attention shifted back over to John who held the breifcase out to him. Gently taking it, Frey smiled a bit awkwardly, "Well, we needed stuff in the house, so...." Frey trailed off as John's smirk widened. "We? I know I come over a lot but it's not like I actually live with you. What are you not telling me Rey-rey?" he teased, making Frey's face redden slightly."I told you not to call me that."Frey pouted slightly before his gaze drifted off to the side a bit. "Well, you see.... Nez needed a place.... and we're already friends...." he paused a moment a bit unsure if Nez actually considered him a friend already or not. "And I have some spare rooms....so, I offered her a place...." Frey stuttered a bit. John's face lit up "Awwww you got a roommate!"he chimed making Frey's face redden even more. Turning his attention onto Nez, John smiled "Glad to hear that he's making friends. I know he's pretty weird. I wish you luck." he chuckled, glancing over at Frey who shot him a small look that was basically screaming 'Please, stop.'
x x xNez looked up at Frey and nodded quietly with a small smile on her face. She then tensed up just a bit after seeing a black van pulling up and stopping in front of them. She looked around nervously and noticed that both Frey and John seemed at ease so she concluded that this sort of thing must be normal for them. Nez watched as both men started to enter the van, she tilted her head in confusion since they already had a car waiting for them in the parking but it was probably too dangerous to be by themselves anymore since that whole thing at the store just happened. Nez took Freys hand hesitantly and was pulled gently into the van. They both sat by each other and her hand also hesitated to pull away from his all too familiar warm palm. He had a expressed his apologies with a chuckle which made it even harder to let go of him, but she had to anyway. His smile makes her feel like she's the only girl in the world for some reason but she just doesn't understand why, if they aren't even anything anyway...
HQ?This day just keep getting stranger and stranger. Nez stared quietly at the briefcase that was handed to Frey. What was in it?? Nez curiously yet unknowingly scooched a bit closer to him. Then the guys starting talking about Nez and Freys...living arangements. When she heard John say 'rey-rey' again she smiled. What a cute nickname...maybe one day I'll be able to call him that.. Her cheeks heated up and her eyes widened in shock as Frey mentioned that they were already friends. She restrained herself from looking at him with those wide eyes and say '...reallyy??' in a cute squeaky voice so she looked down bashfully and started to play with her thigh high socks again. Nez jumped a bit at Johns rather loud reply and her cheeks flushed some more as he turned to Nez, making her the center of attention now, Frey was probably looking at her too. She gripped a small handful of the fabric she was playing with nervously and looked up at them. "Y-Yeah...of course we're friends...I don't know what I would've d-done without him...heck...I'd be living on the streets if it weren't for Frey..." She looked at Frey for a moment, the faint red still on her cheeks. "A-and I'm really glad I have you..." Nez continued to look at him, kinda forgetting John was there for just a moment.. Then she realized how comprising that last statement she made sounded. "...I-I-I mean as a friend..ya know..." She blurted out a bit frantically and quickly turned her attention back at her little fists that were currently wrinkling the top of her socks because of the death grip she was giving them.

As Nez spoke, Frey listened while opening up the briefcase, revealing a built-in laptop. After typing a command in the terminal, a small map like grid opened along with another terminal. He had looked over at Nez as she stated that she was glad to have him as a friend, and immediately regretted it, his face blushing slightly as he turned his gaze back onto the laptop. She's so cute.... and sweet.... get a grip Frey!!!he yelled at himself internally, a smile on his face."It's not a problem, really. I'm glad to have you as a friend too."he spoke as he typed a command into the second terminal. John looked at the two, a small laugh escaping his lips, his eyes trailed onto Nez's hands which seemed to have some kind of vendetta with her socks. "Everything okay, Nez? I promise we're not going to hurt you or anything." he spoke a bit of concern in his voice. Hearing that, Frey looked over at Nez, noting how she'd been gripping her socks, which he's guessing is why John was asking.
Both Frey and John couldn't really blame Nez for being uncomfortable or nervous, after all, last they'd checked, this kind of thing was far from normal. The vast majority of people didn't even know about the two organizations that had been at war with each other for at least a couple of years now. After typing another command into the terminal, Frey let out a silent breath and closed the briefcase, slipping it back into the under seat compartment. Placing a gentle hand on Nez's shoulder, Frey attempted to comfort her a small smile on his face "We just need to talk to some people. Then we can go home."
