HER BLACK HAIR swayed in the wind and she peered her eyes to stop the poking of wind on her eyeballs. I realized I had done the same too.“So, how was the day?”she asked me.“It was okay.”I replied. Missed you though. Said my mind.“Thanks for saving me from Frost today morning.”I added.“That was nothing.”she replied her eyes suddenly fixing to mine.“I actually have something that I should thank you as well.”she said“What?”I asked“That day…. For saving my brother’s life. He told me that you were his saviour and it was told ages ago. But I didn’t have time to properly thank you because I was busy.”she replied her voice soft and mild, as if she was trying to harmonize with the wind.“That’s nothing. I did what I should do.”Both of us were silent for a few long minutes and then,“Today afternoon…”both of us said together. Roset laughed.“You go first.”she said“What happened today afternoon, I’m sorry for that. I hope you didn’t fall in trouble with Mrs. Blake because of me
WE BECAME CLOSE soon. Actually, our first kiss was about one and a half months from the day we met. But for some reason, we co-operated with each other really well and were comfortable enough, and amazingly, she could nearly read everything in my mind about her while my ability vanished in front of her.The morning dawned and unlike yesterday, I went to work early. That day, the Bureau came back to normal, investigating the murder link happened and KCO didn’t strike the whole day before. My eyes searched for her while I kept cleaning around. We spent a long time on the rooftop last night and it was only about five to six hours that I didn’t see her but… my eyes always scanned for her. I still can’t believe how fallen my heart was. I didn’t even get a proper sleep that night, but it is really questionable how I didn’t feel sleepy at all.I got called to Fyn’s Office in the afternoon and even while going there, my eyes searched for her.“Close the door.”Said Fyn as soon as I entered.
AFTER THAT NEITHER Fyn nor I spoke to each other and we both continued with our own tasks; me cleaning and him analyzing the documents.I’m gonna make you believe me Fyn. I’m going to do that. I will never let Roset go. I tried to avoid her my level best and I failed and now I’m loving her with all my life. I never turn back. I never did and never will. She’s mine.Fyn left after about an hour after the conversation leaving meinside his room. He no longer bothered me being inside his office room without him in it. That was a sign of trust. Neither he nor the whole Front Team returned for the whole day. Capturing KCO Killer. It was not easy that time.It was like a blind walking in the dark. The whole thing was nowhere to be solved and the confusions piled up even more making the thing a frustrating mess. More like everything was useless. If this killer acted in the modern times, I’m pretty sure this would have been a little case of three to four days. But back then, it carried on for
“But we had nowhere else to go.”Roset whined. “The ‘Arm’ Territory people are after us. Like four dozens of them”said Roset her eyes big. I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline and then I saw Fyn…. I gulped.Roset didn’t know any of the conversations we had and I didn’t get a chance to tell her either. That was a lot complicated.“What the hell did you all do for dozens of them to be after you to an extent it became impossible for the whole Front Team to handle?”“Nothing much. We tried to invade.”replied Swift“Invade what?”I asked.“The Arm.”replied Fyn“Pffffftt !!!”That laugh which I gave was totally unintended but I couldn’t help it at all.“You all? Kidding me right now?”I asked.“What?”asked Tyler“You? You eleven? Went to invade the third largest and the powerful territory? Just you all?”I really couldn’t stop laughing“Stop that. This is not funny.”Tyler frowned“This is actually. Thank me for not jumping up and down while laughing.”Again, loud bangs went all over the
AS SOON AS we got down,“Wow! This place is awesome.”remarked Swift“What is this place?”asked Fyn looking at me smiling.“Part of your normal life, I guess”added Frost with a smile. That actually should be a suspicion but their smiles proved what they wanted is an explanation and that they didn’t suspect me.“Yeah. You can call this as a part of my normal life. It became my normal life since I was six.”“Six?”asked Fyn“Mm. That’s when I started practicing Martial Arts.”All of them nodded up and down.“I couldn’t let that go. This was where my life grew up since I was three.”I said“Now what does that mean?”asked Frost puzzled.“What?”“Since three?”“Oh!”That’s when I remembered that they didn’t know anything about me being adopted from the Catastrophe. I scratched my eyebrows as I did every time when I had to explain something complicated.“It’s a long story. I’ll explain that later. First, we’ll get out of this”“That’s right.”Fyn agreed at once.“They must have already
A SUDDEN BANG went on the basement door. Then another, another. They found out. I unintentionally smirked.“So dumb!”I whispered.“What?”asked Frost looking down“So dumb they are.”I saw Fyn also looking down for my remark“Why?”he hushed down. His voice was shaking. It was not time for a conversation but still having one made us feel less nervous. Levine always took it as a tactic whenever our troops are too nervous or scared in a mission.“You think whoever it is, or how much it is… they can fight with the whole Front Team and me?”I hushed back.“But there’s a lot.”“Why do you think they call me their best? At the same time, him and you….” I said pointing to Fyn and Frost by my chin.“You guys are far better than me.”I replied“Even if the whole Arm comes, we can bring them down.”A grin turned up in their faces“That was one hell of a motivational speech”Roset said from behind. A sudden loud thud went on the basement door.“They broke the lock”Fyn whispered.The next secon
THEN, AT FIRST when I got up, I didn’t open my eyes. At first, I didn’t have an intention of eavesdropping but when I understood they were talking about me, eavesdropping became a pure motive.“Fyn. Would you mind sparing us a moment?” said someone.Whose voice is it?I kept on thinking and being someone who is unable to hold back the curiosity, I half-opened my eye-lids to see who it was. It was Mr and Mrs. Blake and…. the person who thanked me.Guessing by at whom Fyn nodded his head, I believed it was Mr. Blake who spoke. I watched secretly as Fyn left the room and then again closed my eyes tight for the betterment; because I was so sure that they were talking in that room thinking I was asleep and I wanted them to keep assuming that so I could eavesdrop successfully.“I think what Fyn suggested is a good idea.”It was Mrs. Blake. It should be her. She was the only female in that room.“I agree the boy should be rewarded and complimented for what he did but don’t you think letting
I DON’T THINK it registered in my mind. The words he said so suddenly out of nowhere. Why did he, no how did he? How in the world did he so easily got me inside the Intelligence?“Did he agree? Did you tell him who I am?”I asked. The excitement inside me was overflowing and I still don’t know how to describe the millions of emotions I felt that day. I remember Fyn nodding as a reply, still smiling at me. He might have seen how happy I was.“I did tell him who you are. At first, he was a bit hesitant but then again, when I explained to him that you helped us a lot and when Mr. and Mrs. Blake kept insisting you are suitable…. he agreed to take you in. You’re going to be taken in as a recruit and then you will be going through a training of two months and then will be ranked accordingly to your skills.”he paused.“Others should go years and years but for you instead of that, this training period is mostly like a show of your talents to choose the title you want in the Intelligence.
