"Alright, hang around here for now. Oh, wait, I doubt you'll be able to hang around much longer. Since
you're of no use, the Stirling family has no room for you. Get ready to be thrown out and fend for
yourself." Lisbeth said, turning on her heel and striding away.
Agent A felt like he was at the end of his rope.
"Even though I have no clue where he is, I've got ways to find out. Give me the antidote, and once I'm
out of here, I'll track him down."
Lisbeth fell silent for a moment before pulling out a vial of antidote from her pocket, "This will
temporarily ease your paralysis, effective for five days. After that, you need to come back for another
shot, or not only will the paralysis return, but it will be worse."
Agent A clenched his jaw, determined not to be outwitted.
It was a trap, clear as day, just waiting for him to tumble in.
"You're all so damn cunning."
"So are you," Lisbeth snorted, "Did you think we'd be foolish enough to give you the antidote and let
you waltz out of here?"
Agent A had mixed feelings, "You play a hard game."
"You better find out where Raines is within these five days, or you might not get your next shot," Lisbeth
enunciated her threat with chilling precision.
Grinding his teeth, Agent A shot back, "Do you think you'll be sitting pretty when Raines comes back?
You're a traitor, betrayed his trust, and sold him out. He'll despise you with every bone in his body. The
first thing he'll do when he's back is make sure you're taken care of."
Lisbeth shrugged, "Doesn't matter. I've braced myself for whatever comes. No matter how much he
hates me, I can take it. All that matters is getting him out."
"You're digging your grave," Agent A spat out, "You'll save him, he'll dump you and find someone new.
You'll lose everything. And when that happens, the Stirling family won't lift a finger for you. They'll just Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
show you the door."
"Don’t waste your time stirring things up. Aurelia and Leopold know what's up with me. No matter what
goes down, I won't sink lower than you."
"You're a fool. They're just using you to get Raines back. Once he's safe, you're disposable. They'll kick
you to the curb so fast you won't know what hit you."
"Enough," she cut him off, "You've got five days. Stop wasting time and get moving. Find Raines."
She pressed the syringe into his arm. Not long after, sensation began to return to Agent A's limbs.
Heaving himself up, the taste of freedom was intoxicating.
"If I find Raines, will you give me the antidote?"
"Of course. You haven't crossed the line, just a puppet, really. So, Aurelia and Leopold are willing to
give you a chance to pull back from the brink," Lisbeth replied.
Agent A stretched, feeling life return to his body, "You'll hear from me."
Could Raines forgive her if he returned?
Arriving at the Stirling Mansion, Aurelia took her hand, "Did you let Agent A go?"

"Yes," Lisbeth nodded, "Whether he finds Raines is up to him now."
"We can't put all our eggs in one basket. Leopold is working on other plans," Aurelia reassured her.
