'Thorn princess, I have a client for you."

Yor tensed up and her eyes grew dark. She knew what the shopkeeper meant. "Who is it now?" She responded back. The shopkeeper held a silence over the phone and then spoke again. "Agent Twilight. A spy trying to keep peace in the east and the west. You must find him, and silence him." The shopkeeper said over the phone.

"Agent Twilight? I think I've heard of him before.." Yor said as she dug in her thoughts. Her mind then clicked and her eyes widened. "The world's greatest spy? How am I supposed to do this?" She said over the phone worryingly.

"Do you accept it? If you refuse, it might as well be the end of your assassin job." The shopkeeper said over the phone. Yor thought for a few moments, thinking of what dangers she would have to go through. "I accept." She said. She then closed the phone and got ready to visit the shop to see what he looked like.

"Hey Yor, where are you going?" Loid said as he set down his tea and looked at Yor. "Mama, take me with you!" Anya said as she clung onto Yor's leg. "I'm just visiting my friend! He owns a shop, so I was going there." Yor responded back to Loid and she picked Anya up.

"Sorry Anya! I cant take you with me today, but maybe another day!" Yor said as she got ready to walk out the door. "Bye Loid, Bye Anya!" She waved goodbye and so did the other two. Loid narrowed his eyes. 'Hmm.. should I follow her just in case? No.. that'd be creepy. I should just let her visit them.' Loid thought to himself.

'Papa wants to shadow mama!' Anya gasped. She's never heard or seen Loid do this before. But she sat with her dad on the couch and peeked over to the newspaper, which she couldn't understand.

As Yor walked to the shop, she made sure nobody was following her. "Huh. Maybe I'm just being paranoid." She said as she arrived at the place. "Ah, Yor. Welcome back." The shopkeeper said. Yor nodded as she looked around. "I wonder how you keep your place so clea-" She was cut off by the shopkeeper trying to stab her in the head with a spear. But she bent backwards and dodged it.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Yor said confused. "Ah. Just testing to see if you still have the skills to do this." The shopkeeper said as he put the spear away. "Anyway, let me get the information." He said as he walked somewhere behind the desk.

Yor looked around the shop to see clocks, watches, and other things that would be in a small shop. She saw something shining in the side of her eye and her head turned to see a small, shiny box sitting on the counter. She opened it to reveal a beautiful silver ring.

"Interested in that? Beautiful, isn't it?" The shopkeeper said as he held a photo in his hand. "Yes, it is quite beautiful." Yor said. She examined it from side to side. "Wow, this ring is authentic! Where'd you get it from?" Yor said, amazed. "Being an assassin is truly worth many things. That ring isn't even the best one. You can keep it, if you want." The shopkeeper said.

"Really? I wouldn't wanna take such a beautiful ring for free.." Yor said. "Don't worry about it." The shopkeeper responded. "Well, if you insist. Thank you very much!" Yor said as she nodded and put the ring into one of her pockets. "About the picture?" Yor said.

The shopkeeper handed the picture to Yor and she flipped it over. She stared at the picture for a few moments and her eyes widened as she dropped the smile she had on her face.

"Loid.?"
