Chapter – 9 New Breakthrough
At night Annie and Arif are sent to the Academy. Annie wakes up She is in a small cell which is covered with white tiles. She realizes the bed on which she is sleeping is also white. She felt the softness of the bed. Up until now, she slept on the floor. That’s why this bed was too comforting for her. She goes near the door to look out of the door window. It is way advanced than the base camps. When she was looking through the door suddenly the door opens automatically. She walks through the corridor. The corridor is having a total of 20 cells in rows front and back. She walks straight and takes the turn. Suddenly she sees someone coming towards her.
She is an old lady.
“You are not ready.” She is in a white dress. She looks Annie up to down.
“Who ... who are you?” Annie
“Me. I am sorry. I didn’t introduce myself. You can call me Mindy.”
“Where am I?” Annie
“Come here” She takes Annie back to the cell
“It’s not jelling dear. Its COA academy and Academy head want to meet you. You have a meeting with her. So why don’t you get ready? Prepare something nicer. You have clothes in your cell. Get Bath. Get Fresh.” Mindy
“No...” Annie was trying to stop her.
“Your friend is also getting ready. You will meet him when you will get ready” Mindy
“Arif... wait, where is he?” Annie
“Yes, my dear. Arif. He is getting ready.” she leaves
Annie looks at herself in the mirror. She decides to get ready. After a while Annie gets ready.at the same place, she meets Mindy again. Mindy takes her to the waiting room. Every room in this place is all white and bright.
Arif is already in the waiting room. “I’ll inform the head” Mindy
“This is all insane” Arif
“Did she tell you anything?” Annie
“No.” Arif
“But...”Annie
“Guys .lets go” Mindy interrupts Annie.
They both go after Mindy. They enter the room with the board “Head Office”. There is an old lady inside.
“Sit down,” Mindy says
They both sit in the chair before the table.
“Mindy get two coffees” Head
“No, we don’t want anything” Annie
“Just get it” Head
Mindy leaves
“Annika. Right” Annie nods.
“And Arif. Such beautiful names.” Head
“You can call me Miriam” Head
“For the past few months, I was hearing lots about your both performance. I was in shock when I heard you failed the mine test. I am glad to know that you did it on the purpose that still makes you a good candidate Arif.” Miriam
“I must think. You just wanted to run with Meera and Bagus. Now I get it why you don’t Annie. in every batch we always have those bugs which are not easy to manipulate.”
“Don’t mind if I say bug to you? Bugs are Valuable for the system.” Miriam
“In the last batch some girl. What’s her name? I guess …” She was trying to remember her name.
“Yeah ….Taya. She was a big loss. She was such intelligent and she was great for the post of Hit men’s. But whatever no one gets what they want” Miriam
Mindy comes with coffee. She keeps cups on the table.
“Have it” she insist to get coffee.
“You both wanted to escape with kids. But you know what. You had a really small picture of saving just seven kids. Teeny Tiny Goal. Let me make your goal bigger.” Miriam
“What?” Annie. They both are not getting any clue.
“Let’s think about saving a hundred kids” Miriam
“What?” Miriam
“We have an offer for you both”
“No” Arif
“Wait” Annie
Miriam smiles.
“We call it to kill one get one” Miriam
“We will give you an order. Complete it and get a kid.” Miriam
“Why would we believe you?” Arif
“Because we need you. we are professional about it. We will hand the kid to you. You can take him to any country. Any place safe” Miriam
“What’s the guarantee that you will not kidnap them again?” Annie
“Annie stop” Arif
“Trust. Girl Trust. It's the most valuable thing in the world. So Trust little bit on us” Miriam
“According to the Offer you are free to go anywhere in the world. You will have access to any information in any weapon section. To any information in the academy. Cause for assassination you need that. We will provide anything you want.”
“About Kids security. You can check on kids at any time. If you are thinking about escaping and then saving kids one by one it’s a pretty hard deal.
If you are thinking about running and hiding somewhere safe and living an apple pie life. I don’t think you are in any mental state to have a normal life. You will escape we will find you, kill you. Otherwise, it gets difficult for kids like you to live outside the world, and then you do suicide. We just have two scenarios either we kill you, or you kill yourself.”
“Done” Annie
“Annie, what the hell?” Arif tries to stop her.
“But….”Arif
“Stop” Arif
“It’s one innocent for another” Arif
“No. Don’t worry about that. You are not killing innocent. We give that job to level 2 kids’
“What? You have levels and we must be at level 1” Arif
“No, you are at level 0. we give you simple Tasks. Someone is hurting someone, they give us a contract. Kids do the job we get money. And we pay cash to other kids but we will give kids to you”
“You make deal with others?” Arif
“No most of the students are enrolled here by themself. There are very few like you work on different offers”
“Annie we don’t know anything” Arif
“I know, But For Saving Kids. We have to make a deal.” Annie
Arif looks at her
“Ok done” Arif
“You took lots of time to think” Miriam
“Mindy” She Yells
She comes inside
“They are ready” Miriam
They both leave with Mindy. They are sitting in one office in the academy.
“Ready for the mission,” Mindy asks both
“Yep” both
Mindy Gives them the file.
“Client name is –Natasha Winterson. She is the daughter of the owner of the Winterson brand”
“You must have heard the ad” she sings the add line
“Every morning
Every Day,
Starts With Winterson Tea”
She looks at them. They were looking clueless. She realizes they were no chance they must have heard that ad at base camp.
“Sorry” Mindy
Her father Willson. Very busy. And handsome too” Mindy
She gives a photo of both.
“Natasha thinks her mother is going to kill her father. Take control over Winterson organization.” Mindy
“Mother?” Arif
“It’s not her real mother” Mindy
“Her real mother. Michelle. here...” she gives photo “...Died 3 years ago”.
“After her mother’s death, her father got married to Siana. Siana was working as his secretary for like 7 years they were good friends from the Beginning”
“When they got married?” Annie
“After two years of Michelle’s death” Annie
“How Michelle died...” Arif
“Breast Cancer” Mindy
“She was ill for the past 4 years” Mindy
“Willson was the one who asked Siana for marriage” Mindy
“Siana’s photo?” Annie
“Here” she gives a photo
“Why Natasha thinks that Siana wants to kill Willson?” Annie
“Natasha saw a gun in her purse” Mindy
“Can be for safety” Arif
“Yes. But she orders it a few days ago” Mindy
“She was talking about a murder on the phone. She wanted to tell her father but she knows her father will not believe her. She doesn’t want her father to think like that she hates her new mother. She thinks her father is already in pain. Whatever blah blah…” Mindy
“But if we kill her. That will also hurt him.” Annie
“Yea that’s why we are going to show that she ran away with someone else” Mindy
“We will make her disappear. We will keep the letter in her room. That I am leaving you. Our relationship is not working. Sorry .blah blah…” Mindy
“Handwriting...” Annie
“That’s your job. Get it written by her” Mindy
“Keep the letter in her house” Mindy
“What about the security of the house” Annie
“I don’t know in detail of the case Ben and Kevin will help you” Mindy
“All the best. Do it before Sunday” Mindy
“3 days” Arif
“All the best” she leaves
They both visit Ben and Kevin.
“What do we have?” Arif
“What you want?” he was writing something in the notebook
“Routine of Siana for three days?” Annie
Ben raises his eyebrow.
“Thursday, Friday Saturday. What’s her routine?”Arif
“Natasha Winterson. Mindy told us you will give us details.” Annie
“Yes” Ben
He checks in the drawer and gives the file. Arif and Annie were checking the file.
“Salon” Annie
“What?” Arif
“Beauty Salon” Annie
“Every Friday she goes to Pearls beauty Salon” Annie
“We can kidnap her from there?” Annie
“Read Properly” Ben
“What?” Arif
“Read the next line. She visits the parlor every Friday but. This Friday she has a meeting to attend at the Primal hotel” Ben
Arif reads.
“How you know that?” Arif
“I am the one who wrote that file” Ben
“What we have about the Primal? “Annie
Ben gives open some pages of files and gives files back to them. It’s been while they both were now thinking about a plan for 6 hours it’s now 5 pm
“you two. You have a flight at 8 pm to Osaya city” Ben
“Got the plan” Kevin
Their plan was. Go to Osaya. Track the Siana. Kidnap her when she is alone. Make her write a letter. Kill her and Back to the academy.
I did accept the offer. Not for the Kids, I guess for me. Cause to Survive in the Society we need to keep our selfish tendencies inside, For me, it was too difficult.
