EPISODE 54
“We were trapped inside a bungalow, a bait laid by the professor.” Jason continued.
“Our mission was a success and we were running out of the house like there wasn’t anything that we wanted more than this, especially I felt this. Because I didn’t want to stay in this place for another minute where Diamond’s life was at risk.
And just as we reached the doors, we were trapped. All the doors and windows started closing, while the first thing my team did was protect Diamond, placing her in between.” Jason said, a smile appearing on his face.
“But it was already late. And for the first time, I saw the Professor’s face. He entered in long strides, a polite and gentle smile pasted on his face, which can make people feel relaxed, as if this man would be the last to ever trouble you.” Jason continued.
*ONE YEAR AGO, A HUGE BUNGALOW*
“How are you all?” Professor asked, while walking towards the group of five, who were already in their defensive pose, ready to attack or defend any minute.
None of them replied, but the Professor didn’t seem angry about it.
“Hazel! Finally you are attending missions again? After almost a year, right?” Professor asked, his voice calm and soothing, looking straight at Kizy, even through Jason who was standing exactly in front of Kizy.
But Kizy didn’t reply. Though she wasn’t expecting this, at least she wasn’t as terrified of Professor, as she was the last time, in the jungle between the Gala.
“Why don’t you show your bare face in your office though? Do you know how difficult it was to search for your occupation? But then suddenly you asked for a leave, and I lost my chance again.” Professor said.
All members from Jason’s team were doing undercover jobs, excluding Jason himself. Once a member would sign up to work for him, Jason would find him or her a stable job and ask them to work there.
The members would do their jobs honestly like any other workers would do. And this job was the exact reason Kizy was able to hide about her true profession from her mom for all these years.
She was working in a normal company, a regular nine to five job, with a few business trips every month, which Kate didn’t mind.
And these trips were the ones where Kizy would go on missions with her team, even taking some days off.
Fortunately she was good at job, thus she rarely had problems while asking for holidays. Plus majority of the times, they would go for missions at night, so this wasn’t much of a problem.
Kizy worked at a company, which was near Rose’s company, which was why they would visit the ‘Seventh Heaven’ cafe, a cafe managed by one of their members.
The exact cafe which had helped Kizy plan for grandpa’s accident along with Rose without getting discovered by Aaron.
Harry being the youngest one had enrolled himself in a college, completing the course he had dropped out of.
While Victor was a teacher at kindergarten, teaching young kids and being a common crush for all the female teachers, who admired how gently he treated the kids, even after having such a manly aura.
Thus though Kizy didn’t attend the missions, at list she was doing her job.
But one day, Jason accidentally discovered two people, following Kizy, and that day onwards, he asked her to apply for a long leave from office, giving some valid reason.
Which was why, Kizy finally couldn’t take it anymore when she would have to sit idly in their base while members would be doing their regular jobs or planning for upcoming mission.
She understood that Jason did this for her safety, but she just couldn’t stay remaining protected like this anymore.
“Do you know how many times I searched for some missions, deliberately sending it to your group, but you stopped attending them as well.
But I was persistent. I attended every single mission, waiting for you and see! You finally came, and I got to see you.” Professor said, happiness was visible in his eyes.
But this was the thing that Kizy regretted the most, not listening to Jason’s advice and even fighting with him.
“So Hazel, how are you? Did you miss me?” Professor said, stopping at a distance of exactly five steps away from Jason.
“You can remove that mask, Hazel. I already know your face. And I like your original black eyes more than those Hazel lenses you were wearing gala.” Professor said, a smile on his face.
“What do you want?” Finally Jason asked, knowing they had no way out.
“Hazel.” Professor replied immediately, as if he had been waiting for this question.
But Jason just kept quiet, not wanting to talk with the Professor anymore.
“I have a great deal for you guys. Wanna listen?” Professor said.
But none of the members said anything, because all such things were always handled by Jason.
“Since nobody is opposing, I guess I can start with the explanation.” Professor said and continued ahead.
“Your group will work with us in partnership. You know that we people need groups like you to terminate our enemies. Plus your group will always be our top team, with all the resources given to you. Plus you don’t have to only work for us. You can accept other missions and go for it, except the ones which are against me and my partners of course.” Professor made an enchanting offer.
Because though their group had established and made a name for itself their group was independent, without any other support. But if one of the black markets was to support them, they could imagine the number of missions they would be offered.
“But of course I have my own terms and conditions as well. Luckily I only have two conditions though.
First one is, Hazel won’t be joining you on highly dangerous missions.
And the second one is……Hazel will marry me.” The Professor said, making all the members shocked to the core.
Of course, who would have expected that Professor, the one and only successor to Imperial Nation would randomly ask out a girl, that too with a direct proposal for marriage just after meeting the girl twice?
Because he would get everything in its bestest form. Not to mention women. Being the only successor, he must have seen his fair share of women, beautiful ones at that. So why Kizy?
But this was exactly the reason why Professor was hellbent to have Kizy. He was never used to the word ‘No’.
Plus because of his special designation, he had seen almost everything, out of which only a few managed to spark his interest, one of them being Kizy, or more accurately her shiny eyes.
“We don’t want to work on this partnership.” Jason said firmly.
“Think about it. I am ready for another few hours.” Professor said, his tone sounding unusual.
“No thank you. We won’t be accepting the deal. Just let us go.” Jason said, hoping all this would end peacefully, even though knowing that the chances were near to zero.
“Unfortunately my friend, I am not used to hearing the word ‘No’. How about you think about this carefully? Like really, really carefully.” Professor said, smiling.
“No. As I already said, we are not interested. Just leave us already.” Jason said, sounding as professional and polite as he could.
After all, he was rejecting an offer made by one of the most powerful men in the world.
“I see.” Was the only thing the professor said, while looking directly at Kizy, into her eyes, the smile on his face growing bigger.
Then he turned back, walking away from them, back to his men, taking long strides.
This finally made the members sigh in relief, except Jason, who never let his guards down and Kizy, who felt there was something weird in the professor’s expression, though she couldn’t pinpoint what it was exactly.
While the members were busy observing the professor’s move, a swoosh sound was heard.
“BANG!!”
The swoosh sound was followed by a bullet shot.
“Amazing!” Professor exclaimed.
Kizy had shot a small ball-like structure, black in colour, which was aimed directly at Jason’s face with her gun.
Professor just looked at his men, who immediately understood what he wanted.
With that they turned towards Jason and his group, walking in their direction.
There were about a total of twenty men, far more outnumbering Jason’s team.
“Oh and I forgot to mention one important detail.” The Professor suddenly said, while his men stopped at a distance of ten steps from Jason’s team, waiting for further orders.
“Hazel your mom… she is waiting for her precious daughter to return home from her business trip. And it seems like she can’t fall asleep… how about I make her sleep.. forever?” Professor asked, his smile not fading in the least.
“Noo!” Kizy shouted, her tone showing the amount of terror she felt.
“And you, you are Harry right? Your grandfather is having his dinner. But what if the meal was poisoned?” The Professor said, his smile turning into a smirk.
“Ohh and Rose. Your sweet little brother is riding his blackie at the fastest speed. What if a vehicle hits him?” The Professor asked, his smile completely gone, replaced by a creepy grin.
“This is between you and me. Why are you involving other innocent people?” Kizy asked, her tone high pitched.
She could see the terrified look on her teammates’ faces after knowing about their family members.
“Innocent? Interesting. Ummm… actually the thing is I don’t care about such things. So what if they are innocent? For me their existence is useless.” Professor said.
“Dare you touch even a single strand on their body.” Kizy said, no longer being able to keep her calm.
“Hazel, unfortunately you don’t have the say here. So if I see anyone out of you protesting or fighting, or even raising their hands to fight my men, these people will be gone forever.” The Professor said, smiling sweetly at Kizy.
“No you can’t-” Kizy was still speaking but the Professor just turned to his side.
“Sia.” He said, and a woman came out, the same woman Kizy and her team had seen at Gala.
The Professor then signalled towards Kizy, indicating Sia about what he wanted.
“You can’t do this.” Jason said, trying to stop the professor.
“And why can’t I. Anyways just remember, one strike from your side and all of them would be gone. So don’t even dare to think about doing anything, unless you consider these people useless.
Also Hazel, hope you’ll enjoy the upcoming show, love.” The Professor said, his form of addressing Kizy as love, making Jason furious.
But right now he was helpless. He had promised his members to keep their family members safe. But now, because of his lack of security, their family members were being targeted by the professor.
Meanwhile Sia came walking towards the group.
“Move aside.” She said in a cold tone, looking at Jason.
“No.” Jason said, his voice firm.
“Don’t blame me for not warning. You are making it difficult for yourself by resisting.” Sia said, before looking back towards the professor.
Professor then signalled the men, who were standing behind Sia.
The group of twenty instantly came forward, separating the group members who were resisting, making each one of them kneel down in front of the professor, excluding Kizy, who was being held by Sia, not being able to break her grip.
“Leave me!! You can’t harm them!! Stop it!” Kizy shouted, but to no avail.
Sia simply pulled Kizy away from the group members, making her stand between her teammates and the professor.
Sia then cuffed Kizy’s right hand, tying her to a pole before taking out three guns from her clothes, making her stand there without any weapons, completely useless.
“The show may begin.” Professor said, his voice creepy.
