You know I never asked, but what's that mean? Luciano said, grabbing Anna's arm and examining it. She was lying down next to him with her face in the pillow.

The tattoo? She said, her voice muffled by the pillow.

Si. She slowly rotated to her side and looked at the tattoo. Did you forget you had a tattoo there?

Yea... I only remember the one on my leg.

I thought I did terrible with that one. What's it mean though? Lucien continued. It's... kinda like a trophy I guess. Something to signify you're one of the badasses. We were kinda like special forces. A team. The serpent is to signify you're on the team. The center icon and extra parts signify your role. The wings and compass meant I was their pilot.

You were their only pilot?

The only one they needed. Lucien turned towards her as she finished speaking. She smirked a little. Lucien shook his head lightly, smirking as well.

Which one do you like the most? Anna lifted her arm slightly and rotated it so Lucien could see the inside of her bicep. On it was another tattoo.

You don't hate having that still? Luciano said once he saw it, turning back towards Anna as he finished.

It's a part of me now, I'm not a part of it. Do me a favor and remember that when your boss shows up today, si? Lucien nodded in return after pausing for a second. He seemed a little worried that would become the reason for Golanski's arrival, he couldn't budge on his wife. But disobedience would entail a whole new set of consequences for both of them.

Lucien slowly began to rise. Anna broke the silence with a question to take both their minds off the topic.

Do I have time to exercise?

We do. He replied. Anna snapped upright and looked at him almost instantly.

You're finally going to work out with me? Do we get to settle who benches more? She said with excitement.

I can still bench more than you. Luciano said as he started to walk out the door.

Alright we're maxing out then. And when I win, we're going bar hopping.

I think you mean when I win, you're getting a job at one of those bars.

-14:00, Order Safehouse, Curacao.-

He didn't say why he was coming, did he? Anna said as the two sat down inside the hangar control room. The safe-house was built into a mountain at the edge of the region where they lived. The control room overlooked the horizon, it was beautiful during almost any time of day or night.

No. Just that he'd meet us now. Luciano said, buttoning up his uniform.

That uniform looks good on you. Y'know. Anna said after pausing for a second.

I try. He replied with a smile on his face. Anna smiled back afterward.

Luciano turned towards the window, in the distance, they could see a few ships breaking through the clouds - it was them.

They're here. I know it might be a bit awkward for you, but don't worry. Alright?

Don't worry.
