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. Bec
THE NEXT DAY along with Fyn and Frost, I went back to the cottage to take the essential stuff I needed because from that day onwards I was mostly supposed to be in the quarters of the Intelligence. That is when I confronted another letter from Levine. The fourth letter. I immediately hid it in my pocket before Fyn or Frost could have an eye on it.After a long time. I thought.I supposed he stopped writing because he knew the risk of those letters going to other people’s hands. But at the same time, I knew Levine wanted to say something to me and he didn’t say it because of the fear he had to that risk. I sensed it by his letters.This must be really important.I thought again while clenching the letter from outside of the pocket. So as much as I wanted to read, I thought being careful was important.Let’s go to the Quarters first.I said to myself. I packed really soon and while I did, Fyn approached with the fur ball in his hands.“What are you going to do to this one?”he shook hi
I TAPPED ON my bed gesturing her to sit beside me.“Mhm.”I remember replying, smiling crazily at her.“Your brother’s gonna train me”I scooped away myself to give her space and she smiled at that as she positioned herself, intentionally closer and held my hand.“He told me.”she said.“Really? He’s bossy than I thought.”I said.“I know right.”she replied laughing.“It’ll be hard.”she added“What?”“Your training. He’s a tough recruit officer.”“That’s what I want.”I replied, my voice for some reason quite unstable. It was always like that when she was around. Her smile sent electricity through me. It was my how hard I was fallen for her.“Cody.”“Mm?”“He trusts you a lot, you know? He never trusts people like that.”she said thoughtfully without looking at me. I nodded silently. It felt so burdensome when she said that, like I was being stabbed with thousand knives. They did believe me but deep inside, they did have a suspicion which they didn’t want to have but couldn’t help.
