10 pm, Sir Davis’ Office

“Welp, my work is done.”, Sir Davis is done with his analysis of his employees’ work. As he is about to grab his blazer and leave, his phone rings for a call. “Who could it be at this hour?”, Sir Davis said to himself as he picks up the phone. He sees the name that he didn’t expect to be in need of a call.

“Konstantine?”, He said the contact out loud to himself, questioning why would a spy who’s supposedly on break call. Regardless, he decided to answer it.

The Call Conversation of Sir Davis and Konstantine:

Sir Davis: Hello?

Konstantine: Hey, Sir.

Sir Davis: What’s with the call this late?

Konstantine: I kinda want to talk to you.

Sir Davis: Sure, what is it-

Konstantine: No, I mean…

Konstantine: I need to talk to you personally, tomorrow.

Sir Davis: I see.

Sir Davis: I think I know a place where we could meet.

Konstantine: Okay. I guess I’ll see you tomorrow.

Sir Davis: Yeah. Take care of yourself.

Konstantine: I will. Bye.

Sir Davis: Bye.

Sir Davis kept his calm state as he looked out his window, but internally, he is worried that something happened to Konstantine as he was on his break. He didn’t want those thoughts to make him more worried as he grabs his blazer and leaves his office.

As Sir Davis is in the elevator he asks while thinking of Konstantine, “My boy, What could you have done as I let you go?”, the elevator door opens after he asked that himself. He goes to the member’s basement parking going towards his designated parking space. As he thought about tomorrow, he starts up his Ford Mustang and leaves.

2 pm, Mall

Konstantine is waiting for Sir Davis as he is ordering at a coffee shop. Feeling nervous for what he’ll talk to Sir Davis about, but he made up his mind that it has to be talked about. He is willing to accept any outcome of what will happen after.

“Did I keep you waiting?”, Konstantine looks up and sees Sir Davis as he heard him. “Yeah, you did.”, “Sorry”, Sir Davis replied to Konstantine as he gives the Matcha Latte to him. Both take their sips and enjoy a second for the taste.

Sir Davis analyzes the people in the mall. From there, he saw two girls talking, and realizes their focus was on Konstantine. He had to make Konstantine notice, “Hey, these girls are looking at you.”, “So?”, Sir Davis is surprised at Konstantine’s response. “What do you mean so? These girls are so attracted to-”, He got interrupted by noticing the agitated face of Konstantine, realizing he is going off-focus of what they are here for.

“Can we just take a walk?”, “Yeah, sorry.”, apologizing for making an unpleasing moment between himself and Konstantine, they walk ahead. They focused on their drinks as they walk for less than an hour with no communication yet.

They stopped outside the mall and seated at the table in the balcony. Konstantine is still mad at Sir Davis for his recent actions, which causes an awkward situation for Sir Davis. He has no choice but to bring up what led him here.

“Can you explain why you want to talk to me now?”, Konstantine looked at Sir Davis in disappointment as he said that. He put his drink down and calls out the scene. “What the fuck are you thinking?”

Sir Davis realizes that Konstantine is in full control creating an argument. He tries to disperse the situation. “Look I’m just trying to-”, Konstantine interrupts by reminding him, “What do I do working for Phantom Spy Agencies?”, catching Sir Davis off-guard by that question, it led him to stutter.

Konstantine repeats himself. “What do I do!?”, Sir Davis replied immediately, “Catching bad guys!”, “Which!?”, Konstantine wants Sir Davis to be specific. Sir Davis fixes his answer replying, “Male sex offenders.”

“Male sex offenders.”, Konstantine repeats Sir Davis’ answer as saying that he is correct. He brings up another question in relation to the answer. “Why do I capture those guys only?”, Sir Davis figures if he is asking for his reasons. He tries to answer replying, “To help the-”, “Because I hate those people!”, Sir Davis got surprised by the interruption of Konstantine.

“W-wait, what are you-”, unsure of Konstantine’s response, he got interrupted again. “Do you think I do these missions just to save chicks who have been victimized!?”, Konstantine’s anger got out of control that Sir Davis couldn’t turn the scenario. All he could do is stutter as Konstantine goes on with his rant continuing, “I did it because I hate people who only think with their own libidos.”

“Why do you think everyone has one romanticized mind of who they want!?”, Sir Davis got dumb-founded of what Konstantine just asked. “What are you talking about?”, Konstantine got more agitated by Sir Davis’ question. “Why does everyone think like this!?”, Konstantine’s rage stutters Sir Davis again. “Why does everyone think that they should love another gender!?”

Without thinking straight, Konstantine continues with his rant. “Why can’t there be people accept that we’re not the same as the rest!? Why do they have malice against people who love the same sex!?”, Sir Davis just listens after hearing the first sentence as Konstantine goes on. “People are being murdered just because we are different and being themselves! Worst, they killed themselves because of no acceptance, and they didn’t even fucking care!”, a tear came out Konstantine’s eye. He stood up and then pulls out the hardest question he has ever pulled to Sir Davis saying, “Would you not care if that was me!?”

Dead silence between the two after the rant. Sir Davis is in pure shock of what Konstantine just said, trying to process everything. He knows he must make an honest answer to Konstantine about the last question.

“Before I answer that, can you sit down?”, maintaining formal, he politely asks Konstantine to sit and calm down at the same time. He did what Sir Davis told him to do and sat back on his seat. As he sat, Sir Davis gives himself a few seconds before he answers Konstantine’s question.

“Look. I might not be knowledgable to these things about same-sex relationships, and I know what points you are saying there.”, Sir Davis analyzes Konstantine to see if he is listening. Noticing the eye contact, he continues. “What I did there, I agree that it was stupid of me to do that. You don’t need to tell me about it again, I can already see it in your face.”, he takes a deep breath before resuming his words to Konstantine. “Just because I’m getting old doesn’t mean I can’t learn new things. I’ve actually seen people who are in same-sex relationships, but I never met one, and I never question them.”

Konstantine paid attention to Sir Davis on his answer. “I never question them if they are proud to have that orientation.”, Sir Davis leaned forward after he said that and asks, “Now that I know that you are, let me ask you this. Are you proud of what you are?”

Solid eye contact between the two as Sir Davis asked the question. Few seconds of silence were given by Konstantine before he answers confidently. “Yes.”, Sir Davis nod as he looked away at Konstantine for a second after he heard the answer.

He stood up from his seat, walks over to Konstantine, put his hand on his shoulder saying, “I may seem like a father figure to you, but I never thought you anything about what we discussed.”, he lets go of Konstantine’s shoulder and walks off. Before he actually leaves he says. “But know that I’ll always treat you like a son.”

As Sir Davis leaves Konstantine alone, at the table, on the balcony outside the mall, Konstantine looked down. He holds his head as tears went down on his face upon hearing what Sir Davis said.

The first time of feeling acceptance overfilled happiness on Konstantine. He takes time for himself before he leaves his seat and goes back home.
