Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 404 - Names
...***...
Lucy and Aland walk down the corridor as soon as they arrive at the hotel where they are staying.
Lucy and Aland part ways with Leon at the hotel entrance.
"Lou." Aland called out to the woman who had walked with him since.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry I misunderstood your relationship with your cousin. I really didn't know you had a cousin who lives in Indonesia."
"It's okay. It's all happening anyway, and you already know what's really going on."
"As long as we've been in a relationship, I've only found out by now that you have a cousin. I used to think I knew everything about you, but I was wrong. I even just found out that your real name is Liana."
"Only you, sir. Nic, and coach Bean who knows my real name. Don't tell anyone about it."
"Since when have you used a pseudonym?"
"Are you not using a pseudonym? Don't all agents use pseudonyms?"
"uh? No, my name is Aland."
"I used pseudonyms, even Sheilla, Grayson, Jean, Daniel and the others as well. But I don't know whose real names they are. Only sir. Nic and coach Bean know. For his own pseudonym, sir. Nic gave me Lucy's name. He said the name suits me. When I first joined their syndicate, that's when sir. Nic gave me that name."
"Maybe because your name is fitting. And from that, sir. Nic didn't give you a pseudonym. Besides, my name is Liana, it's pretty easy to recognize. Not too many people use that name in the UK. And from that, sir. Nic gave me a pseudonym to protect me from our other rival agents, or anyone else trying to hurt me or hurt my family."
"So it seems…"
"In addition, sir. Nic gave me a pseudonym, because he knew that my family was ordinary civilians."
"Seeing Leon's reaction when I mentioned you to Lucy earlier, he didn't seem to know you were using a pseudonym."
"Yes, it doesn't. Other than her and her family who had not seen my family for a long time, no one knew that I was working as a spy. Even my parents don't know. All they know is that I studied martial arts under coach Bean. But since both of my parents died, Felix's the only one who knows I work as a spy."
"You forgot me" said Aland with a slightly moody face.
Lucy looked up at the man.
"You forgot? I'm the first person to know that you work as a spy."
"Oh.right. I forgot you used to be a state detective, sorry."
"It's okay, it's only natural that you forget. I'm not even in your heart" murmured Aland gloomily.
Lucy felt a little awkward. Indeed, he does not remember that Aland was a state detective who worked in the police with his father, but since their first meeting, they have, Aland breaks out of the police force and chooses to enter into the same alliance with Lucy so that she can get close to Lucy.
Who would have thought that his business was going well. Lucy and Aland are on the same team.
