A CRAZY LOVE - Episode 78
On one hand, Kizy felt that she was landing
herself a very dangerous job when she could
simply opt for a perfectly normal one, where she
would work from 9 to 5 and return home
everyday, have peaceful dinner with her mom
while complaining about her company and
enjoy her weekend holidays.
But on the other hand, she was somehow
attracted to this overly mysterious work and
team that this man was mentioning.
She thought some more and came up with the
conclusion that there was nothing wrong in just
knowing about the job. She could sign the
confidentiality agreement and get to know the
job, after that she could decide if she wanted to
work or not.
Plus anyways she didn’t had anyone except her
mom in this city. And there was no way she was
going to disclose about something so
dangerous to her mom. Which basically meant
she was not going to disclose this information
to anyone.
“I’ll sign.” She said.
The man signalled Rose, who quickly went and
came back with a folder. She placed it on the
table and the man opened it, placing the
document papers in front of Kizy.
The document was way too long, with a lot of
clauses like how she isn’t supposed to mention
anything about the job, or the place she is in
right now, or the people she talked to, or the
content of their talk.
It included what actions could be taken, though
Kizy knew that it wasn’t the complete scenario.
She read through each page carefully,
assessing every single point, checking if there
was some hidden meaning behind the
statements which might be troublesome
afterwards.
But after taking an entire hour to go through it,
she couldn’t find any loopholes. The document
was crystal clear, just that the part where the
consequences of breaching the contract were
milder than what the man said.
Finally Kizy picked the pen and signed the
document pages one by one, quickly going
through each page once again just to be on a
safer side.
Once she was done, she kept the pen down, just
to see that the man had been sitting in the same
position, continuously looking at her for the
past one hour.
She cleared her throat before speaking.
“So tell me about the job.” Kizy said.
“Rose, go and bring other members first.” The
man said.
“Yupp!!” She said before going to the second
floor.
After almost waiting for five minutes, she came
back with two men, or more precisely a boy and
a man.
The boy instantly winked at Kizy, flashing his
thirty toothed smile, making Kizy smile
awkwardly.
The second man looked more of a serious type,
similar to the man sitting in front of this
mystery man.
“So this is Rose. She might be the same age as
you, maybe a little older I guess.” He said, which
showed he wasn’t much familiar with the
private information related with his teammates.
“I guess I am way too old for her age. She looks
like a high schooler.” Rose said.
“She was searching for a job, so I am pretty sure
she is done with her university education, which
shouldn’t be far from your age right?” The man
asked, though a little less confident this time.
“Come on man!! I finished university three years
ago!! Which means she is definitely three years
younger than me.” Rose said.
“Fine. We ain’t discussing age anymore.” The
man stopped Rose from speaking anymore.
“This is Harry. He has a Masters in computers,
but then he learnt hacking and is ranked in the
top hackers of this world.” The man introduced.
“Nice to meet you.” Harry immediately said,
coming forward to shake hands with Kizy.
Kizy extended her hand, shaking it with Harry
awkwardly, a little surprised at his overly
extroverted personality.
“Get back to your position.” The man said in a
stern voice and Harry went back immediately.
“This is Victor. He is my childhood friend.” The
man introduced.
The man just nodded at Kizy, while she smiled
back in return.
“I am Jason. Their leader. Hope you will join our
team soon.” The man said with a smile that
would make any woman go head over heels for
him.
“Only if I know about your job. I don’t even know
what you people do.” Kizy said with a shrug.
“Fine. So I will be discussing our job. But I want
you to remain calm and not get up or interrupt
in between. Listen to the entire thing first, only
then you are supposed to talk. Once I am done
speaking, you can ask any doubts and no
matter what your doubts are, I will definitely
clear them.” Jason said, his tone changing from
that of casual to a very serious one.
“Okay.” Kizy said, nodding her head, taking a
deep breath to calm herself down, before
signalling Jason to start speaking.
“So our job is collecting secret information on
people and ki||ing special people for money.”
Jason directly went straight to the point.
“What-” Kizy immediately said but Jason cut her
off.
“No talking in between.” He said sternly.
Kizy wanted to speak and stop him from
continuing, but she remembered what Jason
had said. She could only speak when he was
done explaining. Thus she decided to listen him
out, even when she felt like leaving at that very
moment.
“This group is an assassination group but along
with that, we track people and gather secret
information about them for future use.
Basically our first job is ki||ing people for
money.. Have you heard of the term assassin or
mercenary?” Jason asked, waiting for Kizy to
reply.
Kizy sìmply nodded her head.
“Do you know what they mean? What is the
difference between a mercenary and assassin?”
Jason asked.
Kizy shakes her head, indicating a ‘No’.
“Mercenaries are like soldiers. They are hired by
countries, or parties and are mostly used during
wars. Or maybe for political reasons.
But we assassins are secretly hired. We are paid
for ki||ing in secret, or maybe for extracting
information. But it is illegal.
I won’t elaborate on this much. But more about
what we do.” Jason said and paused.
“Before explaining our job any further, I want to
clear two things. We usually don’t have a lot of
people close to us. Because we can’t protect
them all the time. If it is about three to four
people per person, we can manage, but more
than that, it is difficult.
Secondly, we don’t ki|| every single order we
receive. We check out the background details,
and all the ki||s we have done till now were
people who were involved in serious crimes, but
are living freely, enjoying their lives.
If we come across an order where the person
involved is innocent or isn’t involved in some
greater crimes, we don’t accept the order.”
Jason finished.
“I think I have filled you in on enough details.
Now you can ask your doubts.” Jason said.
“Why do you ki||?” This was the first thing Kizy
asked.
“If we don’t ki|| others, we will be ki||ed. As
simple as that.” Jason said.
“What if we aren’t interfering in their business?
Why would anyone ki|| us without any reason?”
Kizy asked.
“Why did those boys try to force you? Did you
interfere in their work? Or were you the one who
seduced them? They just wanted to have fun,
no matter if they needed to destroy or even ki|| if
needed.
Or forget that, why were they so violent with
you? Don’t tell me that it was because you
started first. Because you hit that boy first.
No. Not at all. You were just trying to protect
yourself. Is it wrong to do so? If not for my
timely intervention, those boys would have
R@P£D you till their heart’s content and would
have ki||ed you later on.
You would have died an innocent death while
your family and friends wouldn’t even have
known why or how you had disappeared.
Do we deserve that?” Jason asked, his voice
getting a pitch higher, as if he remembered
some bad past.
Kizy suddenly thought about the events from
morning. Her only mistake was that she had
entered the wrong area, that too by mistake as
she was new to this city.
She wasn’t even wearing any revealing clothes
or did any wrong gestures. But it was those
boys who had initiated it.
“No we don’t.” She said in a firm voice.
“Whether you join this work or not, let me tell
you one basic rule. This world only obeys the
powerful. If you have power, no one dares to go
against you, but if you are weak, people will
come to find trouble with you, because they are
powerful.” Jason said.
“But I don’t like ki||ing people. Plus I have no
knowledge about this field.” Kizy raised her
second doubt.
“But what if you are ki||ing these rapists,
murderers and criminals? I won’t justify my
work as I know that wh@??ver I am doing is
illegal.
But even then, I try my best to find out every
minute detail before ki||ing a person. Whether he
truly deserves to die. Only when I am sure about
that, will I accept the mission.
Secondly, even if you have no knowledge, we
can teach you. If you join us, you will be trained.
” Jason said.
“But how am I supposed to explain my job to
my family? I came out in search of a 9 to 5 job,
what am I going to tell them?” Kizy asked.
Even Kizy didn’t know that she had
subconsciously started taking this job seriously.
She was asking doubts like knowledge of this
profession and her family’s consent to it.
“That won’t be a problem. Your family would
definitely think that you are on a perfectly
normal job. That is my responsibility.” Jason
said in a reassuring voice.
“Why did you ask me to join? Like you could
have asked anyone. Why me?” Kizy asked the
doubt that had been buzzing in her mind all this
time.
“Because I saw your will to fight. You knew that
there was no way you’d win against those boys,
yet you tried till the time you could.
That’s exactly what is needed by us. Even if we
were to die on a mission, we need to fight till our
last breath as we never know how a situation
might change.
Secondly as you said, you already know the
basic human body along with their fatal points.
Won’t it be easier for me to train you instead of
picking someone who has no knowledge and
needs to start from level zero?” Jason asked.
“Hmm.” Kizy said, thinking deep.
“I am not hiding anything from you because I
don’t want you to simply join us and then blame
me for not giving you the proper information.
Our missions are very dangerous even when
they have been planned for weeks or months.
We could get ki||ed any moment. But if we are
getting so much money, it is obvious that risk
would be involved.” Jason said.
“Okay I understand. But I need to think this
through.” Kizy said.
“No issues. You can take wh@??ver time you
need to decide. Just that you are not supposed
to discuss this with anyone.” Jason said and
Kizy nodded in response.
“This is my contact information. Contact me
whenever you have decided your answer.”
Jason said, passing his contact info.
Kizy took it and stood up, wanting to leave this
place quickly.
“Let me drop you.” Jason said.
“No need.” Kizy said.
“And how are you going to find your way back?”
Jason said.
“I memorised it on the way here.” Kizy said.
Jason was literally speechless for a moment.
He never thought that Kizy could literally learn
the entire way when he was carelessly bringing
her to this place.
“Gives me another reason to choose you over
others.” Jason said with a smirk.
Kizy didn’t reply and just nodded at each
member before leaving and going back home.
“Why are you back early? Were you selected for
the interview!!” Kate exclaimed as soon as Kizy
entered.
“No mom. I wasn’t selected. I am a little tired
and will be searching for other jobs from
tomorrow onwards.” Kizy said monotonously.
“Sure child. Don’t tire yourself out. I cooked
lunch for us. Come let’s eat together.” Her mom
said with a smile, trying to cheer Kizy up.
Thus the mother daughter duo had their lunch
and Kizy went inside the room to think through
today’s event.
By evening she had decided to not join this
mysterious team and work. Afterall she could
easily find herself a normal job with good pay.
So why to risk her life over some extra money?
Therefore, the next day onwards, she was busy
searching for jobs. She went to various
companies, small businesses, shops to find
herself any job as they had no money.
Finally on the third day, Kizy found herself a job
at a grocery mart. She would go early and return
late, sometimes even working overtime just to
receive extra payment.
This went on for almost two weeks, and she
had completely left the thought of joining Jason
and his team behind.
But after almost working for fifteen days, she
decided to return home early one day, and enjoy
some quality time with her mom as recently she
was spending less time with her due to her job.
She purchased materials required for making
her mom’s favourite soup and noodles,
intending to cook it by herself and surprise her
mom.
But the moment she stepped into her yard, the
scene in front of her made her remember the
words spoken by Jason – ‘This world only obeys
the powerful. If you have power, no one dares to
go against you, but if you are weak, people will
come to find trouble with you, because they are
powerful.’
Her mom was sitting alone, looking into the
distance while tears were rolling down from her
eyes, remembering their bad past memories.
How could she forget that the situation she and
her mom were in, was because of this POWER!!
Because they were weak while the one in front
of them was Powerful enough to kick them out
of their own house.
