Sometimes Claire Fitzroy thought that she was adopted by a child and not by a government agent.
Six was professional, skilled and focused when it mattered. When her safety was at stake, Six was an unstoppable force, deadlier than anything known to man. He was ruthless and precise, not wasting any additional second for things that could be done faster. However, outside this need to protect her, Six was so goofy and hilarious. It was so easy to mess with him, sending his mind into spiral because he clearly didn’t know a lot of things. Although, he always found a way to pay back, his confused and sometimes lost face was worth it.
That is, when Claire knew how to mess with Six. But right now she was in the middle of the mall, next to the pillar, pretending to scroll something in her phone. Six hid behind the same pillar next to her, pretending to count his money as he kept his head low.
«They’re still there…» Clair noted lazily, knowing that she looked stupid and Six, probably, too.
She glanced at the café again. Two men, that looked so much like Six, and one woman with similar features, Ryland, Colt and Holly. All chatting freely and not planning to go away any time soon. They were a bit tense, but clearly looking around, as they waited.
«I know,» Six mumbled in response, lowering his head even more. His cap was covering his eyes, which made him look weird.
«You do realize that you was the one to set this meeting, right?» Claire asked lazily, glancing at the man as he shifted uncomfortably. Nothing in him spoke of the man that could eliminate a whole room of solders in less than ten minutes. Right now he was afraid to face his own brothers that he already called twice. First one to inform that he was alive, second one to ask for the meeting. And now he was hiding behind the pillar. Claire scoffed.
As Six didn’t answer, she rolled her eyes, before turning on the heels of her boots and walking straight to the trio at the table. Six tried to hiss and call her back, but she didn’t care.
All three of them stopped talking as Claire absolutely cheekily flopped down on the free chair. They got confused, falling silent and staring at her in surprise. At that moment Claire thought that they had exactly the same lost expression as her guardian, maybe even funnier.
«Six is over there, he’s too much of a chicken to come here first,» Claire declared confidently, stealing one of the cheese sticks from the guy in glasses.
All three of them looked where Claire pointed, noticing a dark figure, that facepalmed so hard that it was audible even here.
«And… you are?» the guy in black and red jacket asked as his siblings didn’t know who to look at.
«His daughter,» Claire said in no less confident voice, seeing how the three adults were changing face colors from shock.
«His what?!» all three of them yelled in unison, making Claire’s smile even wider as Six was slowly getting closer to solve the problem.
Oh, she already loved this family! She’s gonna have so much fun here!
