"Sir" that word was unexpected by Izzy, as she knows her father, he never gives respect to anyone, but this man in front of her looked just like a driver yet her father was calling him 'Sir'.That man took them to a small house, they got down as they were instructed to, and that driver bend through the car window looking at Thomas, "You can talk in, I will be here" Thomas just nodded and took Izzy and Max in, she still can't believe what was going on, someone was giving instructions to her father a notorious mafia don, who never bowed to anyone not even before God, who that man must be, that her father was giving respect to, more than God?"Who was that Dad? why are we here?" stepping in, she looked around, it was a simple place with middle-class decorations, "You don't have to know it!" he yelled putting down the bag he was carrying with him, "Come here I need to talk about something!" he asked her to come and sit before him as he sat leaning his back on the sofa he was sitting on
The sky was annoyingly red in the evening, sharp at five, Tiger received a call, and the long face he was wearing all this time has brightened, instantly.A wide smile curled on his lips, as his dimples tugged over his cheeks, Mike smiled at him as it might be his first time in many days to see his master smiling."Sir, everything is arranged" Tiger just nodded, "You can go" he ordered him and Mike left bowing his head before him slightly.Soon after that, he came again to inform him, "Sir, ma'am is here" Tiger glanced at him, "Do it...!" Mike took the command and moved out immediately.What does he mean by that?What was he planning to do?Izzy was here clenching her purse all the time, a little anxious, a little sad, and a lot of threats conquering her mind. All those emotions pumped into her mind as she put her first step inside Tiger's mansion, Mike was here personally to escort her in, at the entrance, there was a special scanner along with a metal detector, but Mike took her
Even a pussy cat becomes wild when it grasps that it has no way out, and Izzy was already here to kill him she was not a mild cat.The gun he sent was a duplicate one but the one she picked up from her father's office in the morning was a real one and was loaded and the main thing was that Tiger had no idea about that gun.When he came near her, clenching his fingers over her face, she took out the gun she had been hiding in her dress and shot him, "Thud...!" the bullet shot sound resounded all around the room, he was shocked at being shot by her, he was sure that according to his plan, she wouldn't be able to shoot him but that gun she had, he had no idea about it, that would have easily caught if she had undergone the checking procedures but she wasn't checked at all while getting in.She pulled him near and whispered something in his ears, his eyes fling open at once, what does she mean by that?Why did she tell him that, now?But before he could even think about that, Mike and hi
"Who is the patient? when has he shot?" that doctor's guess was so accurate, that Mike was more than just surprised."Wow" "You are awesome....!" he exclaimed in amazement,Just how could she guess that so accurately?"Shut up, just tell me when was he shot?" she asked seriously, he then noticed that she was actually taking notes."Maybe two or three hours or something...!" he retorted casually, she glared at him, "Two or three...?" he understood that she needs accuracy, not just a guess. He looked at his watch and calculated what the time exactly was, then retorted immediately, "Two and a half hours" was accurate,She heard him but didn't reply, he was surprised that he was being unknowingly bossed by a girl whom he just met before a few minutes.They reached the mansion entrance, and she flipped a paper from her book, handing him that, "Get these immediately" like a perfectly professional, no babbling, no jibber-jabber at all.He was still surprised, and after giving her a blunt
Two and a half years back...As soon as Ria graduated, the Dean of their college called the best students for a meeting, she was a foreign exchange student yet she was called because of her skills,"I want our best students to voluntarily help the army, you will learn so much and your service will help them with their medical needs" those words were so stimulating, she didn't once think about the consequences and signed the form of volunteer help medical camp.It was after getting there that they know how those military camps were.Those doctors were kept locked up and were forced to perform surgeries on the wounded soldiers.It wasn't like a training camp but was like a prison for them.Despite being just passed-out students, they were given complicated cases more than their knowledge. Everyone started crying their eyes out for being tortured but Ria started enjoying her work, performing surgeries was like playing a game for her, it was like she enjoys finding the bullets in the bod
"It was you" those words from his mouth reverberated in the room, while Ria stood in front of Tiger, and gaped at him bluntly."What...what do you mean by it was me?" she was devastated, it was sure that he didn't see her back then, she made it sure for her safety, then what was he talking about, "Y...you were he..here l.. the last n...night" he stammered his words out, though surprised at his reaction, hearing that she took a breath in relief."Y...you sound as if... you...! uhh.. whatever...!" she sniffed, his doubt almost stopped her mind for some time, "Yes it was me, so what? I am a doctor and you are a wounded man, I was with you here to treat you, so are you going to sue me for touching you?" she smacked in irritation and instantly slipped towards the doors to get out, but the doors were locked, "What the...!" "How dare he...?" "Mike...!" she called out in anger, but it didn't just anger, she was trembling at the fact that she was locked in the same room with the man she w
Tiger was standing near the window when Mike came in to talk, but seeing him stand he panicked. As his doctor restricted Tiger from getting up from his bed, "Sir, why are you standing?" he ran near to get him back, but was that possible to make Tiger lay down on the bed for long?Tiger tilted his head towards Mike, giving him a deadly glance and he understood that he can not force him, "Did you find him?" asked Tiger, in a rough tone, very serious making the listener's peace at bay, "No sir...! I sent men to trace him, and soon we will get him, you don't have to worry, sir," Mike assured him with a glint of hesitation as he knows that this silence can convert into a horrible scenario if his boss turn around in anger any time, "What about the things I asked you to do? did you arrange a proper funeral?" it was a little hard to answer as he was busy bringing the doctor to treat him. Though he ordered his men to arrange everything, he never once visited there personally, as he don't w
On that day, as Izzy left for that deadly mission, Thomas was waiting in that house looking after his grandson Max, but even after a few hours, when he didn't receive any call from her, he got to know that she ruined that plan.Now he had only one option that is to run away from this country and hide somewhere far away, but that little boy was his life, he can't leave behind his grandson, so he took him along to the airport.Though he was bankrupt and financially weak, the liquid cash he stored in various niches was far more than enough for him to survive, if no one catches him.If and only if...!At the airport, an old man was found with a small two years old boy, sheepishly, looking here and there with a panicked face.Everyone around him looked at his weird behavior, he was so busy with his concerns that he didn't even notice that his grandson was not sleeping but was unconscious, as his behavior was a little stealthy, the other passengers doubted his behavior and filed a complaint
Author's point of view... "I have a way out" Ria mumbled as she walked out of the hospital room."What..." both Tiger and Mike exclaimed. She extended her phone to them, there was a green light glowing on a map, flashed on her screen."What is this, ma'am?" Mike asked but Tiger understood everything. "Mom has a tracker?" he asked, and Ria nodded, "I bought it for her security" They stared at the green light moving towards the old mansion. "She is taking them to the old mansion" Tiger just looked at Mike and Mike nodded, "Yes Sir," understanding what his boss meant. Collect our men. Reaching the old mansion, Tiger saw that the vibrant mansion that he remembered from his past was now nothing but some ruins. Dark and cold. As Tiger cautiously entered the old mansion, the creaking floorboards beneath his boots echoed through the dimly lit corridor. The air was thick with the musty scent of aged wood, and shadows danced eerily on the walls. Unbeknownst to him, every step triggere
Author's point of view... Time seemed to freeze as the sound of a gunshot reverberated in the room.Tiger yanked holding his hand as Joe was about to shoot his own head and yet his fate was decided.Though Tiger tried to stop him, his desperate move resulted in shooting himself in his chest.Everyone was shocked as Joe crumpled to the ground, the echoes of his desperate act reverberating in the room. Shock and disbelief hung heavy as the reality of the situation unfolded before them.Tiger, releasing his grip, stared at the scene with a complex mix of emotions. "Damn it," he muttered a curse, his frustration palpable. Mike, too, stood there, grappling with the abrupt turn of events.As the room fell into an eerie silence, the consequences of Joe's final act added a layer of complexity to an already convoluted situation. Unraveling the mysteries surrounding Tiger, the mess that had been growing like hell became even more imperative, with the path ahead now clouded by the unforeseen
Author's point of view... Tagging in the location to the place, Tiger sent a message to Joe, expressing that he was frustrated and couldn't think straight. He asked Joe to reach the location Tiger had sent, immediately and to help him deal with the body of Mike. And Joe, believing that the plan he cracked was successful, did exactly what Tiger wanted. In that dimly lit prison, Tiger's frustration simmered as he looked at the unsettling scene. He positioned Alex's body on the chair, securing him with makeshift restraints. "You weren't of much help, but your body will be" he mumbled to Alex while walking towards the entrance. Mike's body was resting near the wall at one of the corners. The weight of the recent events hung in the air as Tiger contemplated the next steps. "It's the time to show down" he muttered to himself as his ringtone buzzed, echoing in the eerie silence. "Sir, I am here," Joe said and a smile tugged on Tiger's face. Walking toward him, Tiger saw Joe standing
Author's point of view... Alex knew that his end was near and so in exchange for the truth, he wanted to negotiate with Tiger. He wanted Tiger to kill him, after getting his answers and though reluctantly, Tiger agreed. It was finally the time when Tiger was about to get his answers but before it could happen again, a gunshot sound reverberated in the room and a bullet traveled straight cutting the air and ending up hitting Alex's forehead. It was a perfect shot. As the one who shot was trained personally by Tiger himself, Mike...! Tiger was Stunned for a moment. It happened again. Right at the moment. As if someone was deliberately playing a dangerous game with him. Who might be the one? In the tense aftermath of the gunshot, Tiger froze for a moment before springing into action. He swiftly assessed the situation, his mind racing as he considered the potential consequences. The air hung heavy with shock as he gasped.That deadly shot didn't shock him as much as how he was more
Tiger's point of view...I strode straight to Alex because I knew that his days were limited. Though this place was hidden even from all my men except for Mike, I am sure they might be digging up the hell to find him. After all, Alex is one with many secrets inside his belly and I have to let him puke out everything as soon as possible. As I entered the secret prison I found Mike standing before him and spraying water on his face. "Hey...get up...!" Mike was trying hard but there was no response in him. I chuckled as I found him still practicing the mere trick I made him learn. Playing dead...! I walked in and stood before them. Looking at Mike's desperation, I was astonished at how greatly Alex had improved. "Leave us...!" I commanded, Mike hesitated for a bit. He may be thinking that I will kill Alex. And of course I will but not yet.He gaped at me for a few seconds but he couldn't probably decline me. Though wavered, he moved out immediately closing the door behind him. As
Tiger's point of view... I had been an officer of special duties, a commando who lives and dies for his country for more than ten years. Dealing with those wild animals in the deep dark forest, who attack without giving us the time to sense, and also those notorious criminals who are far more dangerous than wild animals, is what I was trained for. It wasn't so easy for me. But I do believe that they trained me for a better fighter. My life had been on thrones, not in flowers. And they thought that they could use my wife against me to deceive me.Seriously...!What the hell do they take me as? A fool?Getting out of the military, I wasn't selling candies on the platform that they thought they could cheat me. I controlled the world. Do they think they can deceive me with those mere tricks? I grasped the very first day when I found Ria in that dark prison. She was drugged, but I smelt the same drug she gave me back then. She was in a research team about that drug and no one else
Author's point of view..."Roman Enfield Bank" As the father and son confirmed that there was no one around to spy on them, Tiger asked confusingly. "Why did you particularly let out that name, Dad?" A smirk tugged on Micheal's face and he shoved his hand into his pants pocket, fetching his phone. Taking it out, he scrolled down on his phone screen to find someone's number. Tiger stood silently, observing his father. Though he couldn't comprehend what exactly Micheal was up to, he knew something so clearly, that his father was far more thoughtful than him. Scheming or planning was his specialty. He called someone, and from the very first word he spoke, Tiger understood everything. "Almeda...I have something for you...!" Almeda Bonze was the chief of the security in that bank and also Micheal's men. Micheal had everything planned. Roman Enfield Bank...! In the heart of the busy city, nestled within a sleek and modern skyscraper, stands the perfection of financial fortificatio
Ria's point of view..."The chest is kept in a locker of Roman Enfield Bank, locker number- 1109/6" I took a long breath before I revealed everything. "Are you serious...!" that metallic voice exclaimed. They had been using some voice-manipulating tools to talk to me so that I couldn't judge who that was. "How could that chest be kept inside a locker? Are you trying to fool me?" it added irritatingly, I know it felt weird but that was what I heard from them. I heard everything when Uncle was revealing everything to Tiger, he can't be lying to his son, can he? "I don't know about all of it, but that is what I heard. You better keep your word..." I couldn't complete it when I heard the scream of that innocent little boy, Max."Stop...!!" I cried, how could they use a small child to threaten me to work for their business?"Urgh...! Mom it hurts..." my eyes pooled up as I heard Max crying so hard. He is a good boy, a stronger one and his patience is above many elders. I have seen him
Author's point of view... A heavy silence hung in the air as Micheal got up in a sitting position. Tiger stood beside him and helped him up. The story behind this all was so intriguing that it took quite a while for Micheal to decide if he wanted to tell his son about it. Taking a deep breath, Micheal spoke about the ancestral chest, passed down through generations which is said to hold the key to a power that could shape destinies.As Tiger listened intently, his father's voice carried the weight of the past. "It all started with your grandfather's greatest action" Tiger strode near and say on the chair beside the bed, "Your grandfather, was a brigadier, had once stood tall in the army, respected and admired by everyone. Everything was going fine until one day when he came home desperate and panicked. He urged us all to leave the house immediately telling that some people will come looking for him and they might harm us. Actually he was betrayed by his own trustworthy colleagues
