Chapter 91 Spies Like Us! by Harem-Fan
Back when Mei was leaving Me and James Alone to have guy-time...
Mei came to me and said while adjusting my white-bunny-pin.
"I will watch your 6 out in the waiting area just outside here. Plus I will just use my laptop and see what is going on, just yell for me if you want me, Master~!"
Mei just waved to Jim as she closed the room door.
-
Just as Mei had started walking to the private resting-room, she had an appointment in, she heard what James and I were saying...
[Brother be honest, you and her?]
[Nope, just seriously my personal-maid. I do admit she is so hot and I even dream about her occasionally, but we are just friends. You know about my maid fetish after-all, so some days it's distracting.]
Mei had stopped hearing that and shook her head and said to herself.
"Idiot, I even tapped on the bunny-pin to remind you I was listening. If you were another man I would think you said that for me, but I know you simply forgot, fufu."
-
Mei made it to a private waiting room and knocked three times in a pattern on the out of order door. An electronic click was heard as the door was unlocked. She entered.
Sitting on a couch with her legs in Indian-Style, May Lee had a laptop in her lap going to town on the keystroke. She saw her subordinate and grins.
May is currently wearing baggy jeans and an AC-DC shirt. She said to the maid.
"Sup little Xia?"
Mei, seeing her cheery Captain pulled out her own laptop and sat next to her boss. Then she reached into her pocket and unwrapped a Tootsie-Pop, cherry and then offered a chocolate one to her boss. May with a grin takes the offered candy and does the same. Mei said.
"Rick has kept me busy. I don't even know where to begin. Well I have killed two hired amateur assassins gunning for him in the last month alone. One from the Song, no surprise and the other was from the Southern Cross."
May Lee pointed her sucker at her and questioned.
"The Southern Cross I expected, but who in the Song sent the killer?"
Mei without joy on her face, seriously said.
"Debby Song."
May Lee nodded and said.
"Mei Xia, then when you have free time, make sure she stops breathing. That woman has been a thorn in Rick's side for far too long, I will take the blame for her death. She has not learned and will keep doing it. Plus I don't want her going after Rick's children."
Mei Xia asked.
"Method?"
May Lee lost her smile and told her.
"Unofficially, I would like nothing more than slow and painful, but this time, suicide is the way to go. She has been drinking so alcohol poisoning is the best, maybe her retard son will give up drinking if he sees that. And if you can't do that, then the bathtub is the next one."
"Yeah, Rick let her off easy with financial ruin. A beast like that just gets even more aggressive if left loose."
"Yup, yup, and anything else ya got Mei Xia?"
While Mei was doing her security work for wiretaps she said.
"Well Rick did great with the mall last night, and honestly I feel like I am working with a professional hit-man, so no complaints when he takes action, but he and I are getting too close..."
May Lee's fingers stop and her eyes look at Mei Xia and she asks.
"Getting close, how? Give me examples and not opinions."
Mei Xia looks a bit guilty like she got a bad grade in spy class and gives examples.
"Rick wanted me as support in the highway-fight plus last night and to not come in and fight with him. He just confessed to his buddy for being sexually attracted to me and well, maids. He said he has been dreaming of me as well. He always avoids talking about Scott around me if he can help it. And the biggest thing... He has never once tried to use me for pleasure."
Expecting this from her nephew, Lee then asked.
"Okay, and what about you?"
Mei's shoulders slump and she admits it to her boss.
"I don't want to leave his side. I have found myself taking his affairs personally. I try to make him smile with my games. I look at him more than a spy should. I dress in ways that make him happy not because of my training but to make me happy. I try to get as much private time with him as I can get away with. I even kissed him while trying to wake him this morning..."
Mei felt a bit better letting it all out, her failure as a spy. Then Lee says.
"I understand most of it, but why the kiss?"
Mei looked a bit awkward and admitted.
"He asked me to kiss him in his dream, so I did. I think I wanted to know if I had feelings or not. I have never been in love before so I wanted to see if kissing him meant anything, or was it just kissing."
May Lee asked.
"Then do you want me to reassign you a new mission?"
Mei Xia did not expect her to offer a new job, but then she panicked.
"No, I don't want a new mission!"
"Mei, normally this would be a mission failure for you by the China Empire you know? There are other young masters out there you don't have to care about? I won't even make you stay in Central. How about A job in the Black State?"
Mei tried to think of her options and blurted.
"Rick won't trust another agent if you remove me, so it would be bad, then he will never trust Central. We are partners so I need to stay with him."
May Lee put her smile back on and asked.
"Wow you're an idiot to fall for your target. Now you will always prioritize Rick over your mission, you know that, right?"
"No, I can still do my job just fine, I only wanted to report my issues."
May Lee poked Mei Xia in her forehead and said.
"Mei Xia, you're a failure as a spy! You worked fine till now, now you only want Rick to do well. Don't forget I know where you came from. I also know why you regret hurting Ricky, why do you think out of all the spies, I chose you?!"
Mei sat there stupidly and said nothing, while Lee grinned at her.
"I remember it well, I was 18 and my older brother brought me to The China Empire for a mission. We found you on the brink of death. Because I wanted to help you, my older brother trained you. He even was branded a traitor for teaching you things you should not know, all because I wanted a little sister friend. I was so young and stupid and my brother wanted to help you, for me..."
Lee warmly smiled.
"And when I showed you that Rick was the son of the man that trained you back then... You felt bad, right? Little Ricky was 5 years old when we found you."
Mei's training has kept her from crying thinking of those dark days, and the happiness Rick senior gave her while training May and Mei.
"He named me Mei because it sounded like your name May. I thought he was the strongest man in the world back then, so when he died 9 years later when I was 16 and soon coming to Eurasia, I thought I would be able to thank him... But he died before i came here..."
May Lee rubbed Mei's back and said.
"Four things hurt my heart in my life... My brother being removed from my family registry for love, his death, Rick's suffering, and a 7 year old girl with no name."
Both women sat in silence for a while and then the spy-maid asked.
"I am a failed spy, so what do you want me to do?"
"What, Ufufu, I want you to do what I asked you to do. Keep my nephew safe and happy."
Mei was both happy and confused. So May explained.
"Little Xia, I picked you because there is no one else in this whole world I trust more than you to be there for Rick. I erased all of our personal connections inside Central and only my silly father and you know my brother was your sponsor. I know you will protect Rick even if you did not develop feelings for him if not because of our past together, so you're like family to me, get it now?"
"But I thought General Lee and Rick did not get along?"
"Phht, hah-aha, Do you think I have the authority to get you brought back into this country?! No, it was father who pulled the strings to put you at Rick's side. He loves Rick too much to not do everything he can now that Rick awakened. He and I had to helplessly watch my brother and my nephew suffer at the bottom of society for some high-ego clansmen thinking they are the best in the world, jokes on them, my nephew proved all of them wrong and they are just pompous assholes."
"So you knew I could not refuse this mission, and you are just messing with me about reassigning me? Why?"
"I just wanted you to feel how he has affected your decisions. I choose you precisely because you are a failed spy! I want someone that will always pick Rick over anything else, and that person is you. I wanted to be by his side, but father forbade it because the Clan would intervene. And so I have to stay in the shadows. But at least I can help him now, and through you as well. I also am a failed spy, Mei."
The maid with emotions in chaos asked.
"Big sister, why are you a failed spy?"
She put on a creepy smile with pure happiness on her face as she said.
"Because I will pick Rick over the world as well. I was kept away from him, but now I can make sure he and his family have my clan's faction supporting him in secret. I won't let politics stop his happiness. So you and I are very bad spies now... Spies like us! We are what Rick needs so be as close as you can and give him everything you can give him, just always protect him."
-
Mei smiled while listening to her earpiece and she said.
"Oh, Rick and James were talking about his favorite idol and that woman Kim Smith just showed up."
Click Click Click! May Lee's keystrokes stopped and she said to her subordinate.
"Kim Smith, her background is clean and proper. She found out this morning about Rick's identity as his dad's son, so she is probably here to talk and confirm it. She was at the site that day. The police let her stay due to her being a nurse and they wanted one around, for survivors. She does not know about Linda though."
"You called it, she is pulling Rick into a room, so I don't need to worry about him with her?"
Lee hands Mei a new rabbit-pin and Mei takes it in confusion, May told her.
"No she is a nice woman and won't cause any harm to Rick, Alex is nothing. And the rabbit-pin is for Rick after his X-ray, so you think he will remember it and take it off? Ufufu, No, I think he will fry it."
-
And 20 minutes later, Mei smiled and said to her boss.
"Sigh, You are right, he fried it. Well I need to get back to him now, and thanks for letting me get all that off my chest."
Just as Mei was about to leave, May Lee told her.
"Mei, if you decide to get closer, just don't get pregnant for a while. Rick needs you at your best, not another distraction. Even if he begs you, just tell him the truth. He would understand. If you become his, just wait till he is done with University before making that move. And do not fall for him unless it is forever. I love you but I will send you to central if you do not love him."
Mei winks and tells her playfully.
"Rick has not fully tamed me, so I am in no rush. I want to make sure I fall completely before moving past friends. I think Rick is his cutest when he tries to resist me, fufu. So I will take my time with finding my feelings. And if Rick does not love me, I won't cross that bridge. See you in a month then, and I will take care of that bag of bones within the week."
As Mei left and the door auto-locked, May Lee just smiled at her adopted little sister and muttered.
"See brother, saving that little girl is now helping your son. I felt so guilty for my choice when you were branded a traitor for my stupidity, but it ended up being you made the right call to save her."
May lifted her shirt to see her belly and saw the old scar from her spy years. She rubbed it.
"You chose me over your mission, and to save my life, you became a traitor. I was so foolish back then and you only stayed our hero. Brother, I will keep him safe, I promise, even if I become a traitor also."
-
I had just got finished with my chest X-ray and was made aware, I fucking fried my earpiece and apparently bunny-pin, sigh.
As I came to sit in the doctor's office, she pointed to my back and told me I didn't fracture the bones so just keep the heat on the bruises and not use the arm excessively to keep it from causing issues.
That was it, I got a clean bill for my fight in the next 3 weeks from today.
So I thanked the friend of Hana's and left to meet with Kim.
-
When I walked out I saw a smiling Mei waiting for me with a smirk of joy at my face, seeing her holding a new white-rabbit pin, oops!
Kim stood and asked. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!
"Well Buckaroo, is everything hunky-dory?"
Hearing her use slang from the UK of America I only smiled at this foreign cutey.
"For King and Country, I am fine, ha-ha!"
Her face twitched hearing me make fun of her Old English, and she pouted.
"If you're going to tease my speech, then do it right! If you say it's an exclamation, not a term to show a good result it works, sigh. Oh can I ask for a favor Rick?"
I nodded to her and then she sheepishly asked.
"Akeno, brought me in her car, and I um, forgot to drive, ha-ha. I just moved into my new house today and need a ride back, if you could?"
Yes this woman is a true klutz. She trips over nothing, drops everything, and forgets to bring a car, sigh!
"Sure, but I brought Hana's car so you need to sit in the back if that's fine?"
"Perfect! My home is really close to the hospital and the university now, so it will not be out of your way I promise, ha-ha!"
-
No she did not lie! Her home was really fucking close... To Mine!
"Lot 7 is right here! Hana sold it to me when she moved. She left it fully furnished for me too, so I am super happy. Now going to work is a breeze!"
As I got out of the passenger seat to let this blonde joy-box out, she pointed to my house and said.
"Howdy Neighbor, ha-ha, surprise!"
Surprise my ass, Hana or any of my wives failed to mention this. So I gave a fake smile and said.
"Well I guess Hana does not need the old house and It was perfect for her when she lived alone. Congratulations on getting it before the public."
"Yuppers, plus you don't have to worry about some nosy, pestering, creep always bothering you for one thing or another!"
"That is true."
"So my student, feel free to invite me over for a meal anytime. I am also bad at cooking like Hana, ha-ha."
Somehow I think she meant herself when describing a neighbor!
