NARRATOR'S P.O.V.: Still at the docks...

Nightfall came swiftly, and Finn McMissile avoided detection as he trailed Roxanne, also known as Agent Lucky, to her hiding spot behind some boxes: 'What on earth is she doing?' He pondered her actions and surveyed his surroundings until he caught sight of one of the Lemons, causing his gaze to narrow: 

"A meeting?" He slowly made his way toward her, making her jump slightly but quietly before she firmly scolded him: 

"Finn! What the heck are you doing here?" Roxanne whispered. 

"We're partners, mind you. Finn whispered, "Besides, you should not have come alone anyway. Agent or not." She stared at him, already prepared to kill him on the spot, but for some odd reason, Roxanne could not do it, for she felt her blue eyes staring intensely at his green ones. The British spy was not even sure how long they stayed staring at one another for 2 hours until something fell, and one of the Lemons caught them.

"Spies!" The British and Irish spies had both started shooting. 

"Maybe this wasn't a good idea!" Finn got on with his guns as Roxanne smirked and continued shooting with her guns.

"Right, you are Agent Lucky!" He grabbed her tire and dragged her with him: "Hey!" Roxanne yelped, and after a few minutes, they hid behind the corner of the gasoline barrels that read 'To Chicago from Italy': "Phew....we might be safe here for a while." "We need to get out of here without being spotted." Finn drove up a bit to peek at the Lemons looking for them: "No, They'll find us on the camera for sure." Finn looked around from the corner of his green eyes and then back at Roxanne's blue ones: "Hmm..." 

"We could... no, that wouldn't work either." 

"You know what? Run." 

They sped off as fast as they could and into an abandoned building. 

AGENT LUCKY's POV: Around 1:00 a.m.

We waited hours before leaving and returning to the Bed and Breakfast. It was around 1 a.m. when we got back: 

"Agent Lucky, I'm sorry I followed you. Finn apologized before he continued, "You seem upset." 

My eyes widened. "Oh no, Finn, it has nothing to do with you. I quickly reply: "I'm just.... glad you showed up. You saved us back there with quick thinking, but I was supposed to sneak aboard their ship." Agent McMissile had to wait patiently as I was finishing up. "But that didn't happen. I'm kinda glad, to be honest." I mumbled the last part.

"Hm. Well, I'm glad I could be of your service, M'Lady." I blushed at his British manners, and he chuckled. 

"By the way......come with me." Finn took me to his room, where he gazed out the window and observed the lightning illuminating the sky. I used to enjoy this activity, but I stopped after the initial air raid some time ago.

"I would say this city and the rain are quite lovely together. Don't you think?" I nodded until we heard the sirens for the air raids. 

"Quick! Follow me, hurry!" I led him down to the basement, where all the customers and my family were. "Oh, my Dia*!" (Irish word for god) As the building shook, my mom hugged me tightly, "Roxanne, you scared us! DIA, we thought you'd been killed o-or-" "Mother, I'm okay. Finn found me and brought me home." 

My mother shifted her focus to him. Initially, I anticipated a scolding for Finn, but to my surprise, she spoke in a different tone: "Thank you. She thanked him: "I don't know what we'd have done if you hadn't brought her home." "You are very welcome, Miss." I smiled sweetly at my mother before me and entered an empty corner. 

The whole building shook, I shut my eyes, and my entire frame and tires stiffened while ignoring the sounds from outside: 'We're in for a long night.' I thought.
