AFTER A FEW more moments of silence, probably to collect himself, Dylan said,“They had but we don’t”“What does that mean?”I asked puzzled.“You know that locker which is there?”asked March pointing to it. I nodded. I had seen it plenty of times and not a minute ago, March did actually mention about it.“We tried to break that locker but it is too strong and to open it we need the key. Unfortunately, only Mr. and Mrs. York had it. What’s more... that is not a normal keyhole.”paused March. I looked at it again. He was right, it was not a normal keyhole and it looked bigger and odd, as of how I realized when I looked at it first. It had the shape of a heart for the keyhole.“Inside that locker is all the records of this investigation.This would have been a lot easier if we had those documents.”explained Thomas to which Dylan added,“Which means we have no clue again.”“Like no one else had the key of it?”I asked again. It was a kind of odd that those two reputed Intelligence Offi

AT FIRST, BOTH of us exactly calculated where the sounds came from. We literally avoided all the shots. But… at the very end of getting to the end of the hall I heard a sound from somewhere else and I looked at it. I knew they did such things for distraction; I was aware of it but I think my mind didn’t calculate that enough. That single mistake was enough to end the perfection. I lost focus. Instead of running I leapt towards the large door of the exit from the hall so I could avoid getting shot but… I was too late. I heard a sound very closer to my right ear and I closed my eyes unintentionally.When I opened my eyes… I saw myself lying fine on the floor due to the leap but instead, March was drained in blood. They shot two more on March and those were on the leg and the next second I immediately grabbed him to where I was and covered him behind the walls. He had taken the shot for me. The first shot was on his shoulder which I guessed the gunmen aimed at my head. March was unconsci

AT FIRST, THEY pointed their guns to us but when we got closer to an extent that we could see each other really well, I could clearly see the two guns of my two friends nearly going down due to the shock which they barely avoided but their hands on the guns shook due to uncertainty of decision to shoot me or not while their eyes were big and helpless which made my heart sink. Before any of us could hurt each other,“Tell him we’re here.”I shouted and they agreed in flash going inside the building immediately. It was as if they were relieved and I knew how exactly that well. None of us wanted this.“What do you expect them to do?”I heard an angry voice behind me, belonged to Thomas, I guessed.“I bet they will come back with more troops to end us.”hushed someone else with a kind of an energetic voice. For sure it was March. I knew it. He was the only person who could say we were going to die in a lively voice. That time I turned back.“Don’t forget I’m still their leader’s younger s

“DURING THE TIME I was talking about until now, there were no Police, Forces or Intelligence in this city. The whole city was fenced and was like a huge prison civilization but later… due to modernization, the city also eventually became a normal place and Police, Forces and Intelligence established in it and normal people too started to settle down. Now the name “Jailbirds” doesn’t make any sense. But those days… it did. I think you agree with me”I nodded. Never in my life, I thought why our city was named Jailbirds. I have to admit, I was quite amused at it. Levine continued despite my amazed face.“When the Security Departments came here, they realized the situation of this city and up until now, their utmost priority has been eliminating the territories. As you can understand by the story and by which you already know, eliminating territories is almost like totally impossible to do because the underworlds are so perfectly established and stable unless…… there is someone like you

DYLAN FEROCIOUSLY WALKED away from the scene and lightly banged his hand on his car to avoid the frustration that was piling inside him.“Shit!” He breathed several times and when he opened his eyes, they were red and nearly in tears. I felt Allison’s hand wrapping around mine. That day, the hunt started. The hunt for the Intelligence team. That means us. My heart tightened. It was getting brutal and intense day by day. “I need some of you to come with me.” said Dylan. “Anyone, who doesn’t want to come can stay here.” he added. All the others left with Dylan leaving the four of us motionless at the same place we were standing. Me, Allison, March and Kira. I think we all didn’t go for the same reason. We hated to see them dead. We were specially cared and loved by both of them since we were the youngest. They were like our second parents. We hated to believe that they were dead. None of us cried. We rested our bodies on the vehicle; standing solemnly. I felt as if my body weighe
