He opened the door to the secret room where Elsa was. She was smoking with her eyes closed. He wondered for a moment why she was doing this to herself.

It made him so curious and frustrated at the same time.Elsa seemed like so many things to him, a ticking bomb, a software with so many features, a hard code to crack. She was a woman with intentions. It was very obvious in the she was spoke to him the last time but she was hiding her abilities.She was interesting like a book with cliffhangers and he wanted to know more about her.

Did he die while he was on one mission she gave him? Was he trying to pry into her business? Was that why he died?“Who knows, I might be different from him.” Cpehas said in a suggestive manner. He didn’t want to seem like he was too confident. He was doing a perfect job in hiding his curiosity.“Well that is pretty easy. All it takes is for you to fulfill some tasks, if you succeed without doing or getting caught then i will consider you to be a very smart man.” Her eyes met his then she gazed away from his direction.He wished she had maintained eye contact with him, he would have been able to read her expression a bit.

Spying was harder than Cephas thought it would be. He was trying not to get caught while he was monitoring Antonio’s moves.Antonio was barely at the base, he leaves as early as possible and the times he returns too were very odd. He thought he used to see him around almost every time. It has been three days since he spoke to Elsa last and he had not been able to repeat anything to her.Not that he was in a rush to impress her but he didn’t want to do too much. Of course he wasn’t going to report Antonio’s working schedule to Elsa, that was too little . He wasn’t finding much about Antonio but he was going to find a solution to it. During their dinner time, he sat beside the house help that was assigned to clean Antonio’s room.“Good evening boys, " Pedro said in a lively and clear voice. “Good evening sir.” They all replied, the maids and the househelps do not have their meals together.

102“What?” Antonio dropped the hammer on his table. “You have something to say to me?” he asked in amusement. Cephas’s eyes darted quickly so he could pick up his emotions and find the right words to say.“Yes sir. Even if I die right after I don’t mind. As long as you hear it I can rest in peace.” he said with fear in him.“What a daring soul. Since they are your last words I want to hear them.” he removed his jacket and dropped it on the table, revealing the guns that were carefully tucked in his pants.Cephas took a deep breath before he spoke again. “I admire you so much, sir, anytime I see you during inspections, it made me so curious about you and I have always wished that I was close to you sir.”He quickly made up a suitable story that he was most likely to believe, crossing his fingers that he believed him.Antonio’s ear widened, this was the first time someone was saying this kind of thing to him. A househelp said he admired him. It made him excited, and he even smiled. Th

104“Sarah?” He said to himself confusedly, “How was she able to text his smartwatch after the connection from outside had been disabled.He tapped on the screen to open the full message. “Hey brother,” he could hear her voice in his head.He smiled to himself, she had found a way to reach him. It gave him a lot of hope and motivation at the same time.“Are you hanging in there well? Most especially, are you still alive? You can reply to me it is safe. No one can trace our interaction.”“Really?” he quickly replied.“It took me so long to figure out how to do this but Zoro had an expert programmer fly in for this so don’t be bothered.

There was no way Cephas would avoid an attack from him if he initiated it.“I was cleaning the insides of his office?” Cephas replied, confused at Pedro’s outburst. Antonio had released him so he didn’t expect his direct master to come for him again.“Maybe Master Antonio had scolded him right after I left. Fine I am sorry for that.” Cephas thought in his head.“Don't you dare lie to me,” Pedro spat at him. “Do you think I am a kid or something? Are you not aware of the rules? You know You’re not supposed to be here l” His grip on Cephas was so strong that he couldn’t even attempt to wriggle out of his hold.“I wasn’t sir.
