EPISODE 11
Joel was even more alerted now. Because his
boss was never the one who would pay
attention to any female. Till now, the only
woman who could grab his attention was their
young miss, and he knew that boss had
stopped his search for her background months
ago.
“Who is it boss?” Joel said.
“Search for Paula. I don’t know anything other
than that about her name. So it might be a little
difficult for you to search for her. Thus I am
giving you three days to find every single
information about her.” Markus said and ended
the call.
Joel, on the other hand, didn’t even get the
chance to complain.
‘Three days!! Only three days to find out about
some woman named Paula!! Boss, what do you
take me for? And who the hell is this Paula who
made the boss call me in the middle of night,
disturbing my sugar sleep.’ Joel complained to
himself.
But immediately started working on it, forgetting
his sleep.
Next day onwards, everything was back to its
regular routine. Markus and Kizy would go to
the office and work, return late in the evening,
have their dinners and sleep.
On the third day, Joel was early at the Markus’s
office, waiting for him with a file in his hands.
Markus and Kizy came together to the office as
usual. But after watching Joel there, Markus
turned to Kizy.
“You remember yesterday’s presentation?” He
asked Kizy.
“Yeah.” Kizy said.
“There are four mistakes in the presentation. Go
to the accounts department and market
department, find the mistakes and get them
corrected. Return back to the office once you
are done.” Markus said.
For Kizy, this was easy work. So she simply
nodded, knowing that there must be some
important matter for Markus and Joel to
discuss and left quickly.
Once Kizy was gone, Markus entered the office,
followed by Joel, who locked the door behind
him.
“Boss, I found information about Paula. Paula
Jordan.” Joel said, placing the docvment on the
desk.
Markus nodded, showing he was listening.
“She is a 52 year old divorcee. Has four
companies to her name. Probably got them as
alimony after her divorce.
She was interested in Kevin, Young Miss’s
father after meeting him at a celebration party.
After that, she waited for an opportunity, and
helped her father out. She helped him grab
major deals, getting closer to him till he was
head over heels for her, even forgetting his
beloved wife, Miss Kate in the process.
He had a fight with Miss Kate, three years ago,
wherein Young Miss had left the house with her
mother permanently and Paula started living
with him.
Soon, she made him leave his own house and
live with her at one of her villas, situated near
the outskirts of A city.
Both of them live there even now. Mr Kevin is
very successful now, and he gives the credit to
Paula for the same. In short they both are happy
together, enjoying their own days while having
no one to care about.” Joel said and paused.
Markus, who was looking through the
docvments while hearing Joel, raised his head,
looking at Joel.
“But these are superficial details and this is
what everyone else knows. There is more to the
story.
Paula’s previous husband had divorced her for
some mysterious reason which is unknown,
even giving all his property to her without
keeping anything for himself as alimony.
On top of all this, she has a son, almost three
years older than you. But he is even more
mysterious, his location unknown. Nobody has
ever seen him, and if not for our intelligence,
even we would have never known about this
son.
Alas, the most important information about her
is that she has some connections in Z city.” Joel
finished his report.
But all of them made the situation even trickier.
“Z city.. interesting.” Markus said with a smirk.
There were only three largest black markets
present in this world, one of them being Z city.
And anyone with connections from any of these
three were truly dangerous characters.
“There is one more thing, boss.” Joel said.
“Continue.” Markus replied, keeping the file
aside, knowing that it wasn’t useful.
“Jason had searched for her three years ago. I
guess he had found the same information we
have found now. But after that, he stopped
searching.” Joel informed him further.
“Of course. Anyone with brains would never go
and search for someone related to Z city on
their own. That place is way too dark. What
Jason did is not wrong.” Markus said and
paused, trying to remember something.
“Wait. Do one thing, you go and pause the
search for now. And while you are going, ask
Kizy to come and meet me here immediately.”
Markus said.
“Yes boss.” Joel said and bowed before leaving.
After two minutes, there was a knock on door
and Kizy entered.
“I found all the four mistakes, corrected three of
them and was thinking how to correct the four
when you called me. But luckily I found the
solution while coming here.” Kizy said excitedly,
happy that she succeeded at her job.
“Great work.” Markus said, genuinely praising
her before continuing.
“But I called you for some other reason. Have a
seat first.” Markus said in a serious tone.
“Go on.” Kizy said while sitting in front of him.
“You remember you informed us via Jack that
Aaron had a lot of weapons, probably from the
black market?” Markus asked.
“Yeah.” Kizy said, sincerely listening to Markus,
knowing this was something serious.
“Was there any special weapon or anything else
which is not found in regular black markets?”
Markus asked.
“Yeah. In fact I had tried to ask him about his
sources, even mentioning that only three places
can sell some of those weapons. But his replies
were ambiguous, not giving out anything.” Kizy
replied.
“You know about those three places?” Markus
asked in a surprised tone, never thinking that
even Kizy would know about it.
But on second thought, if Jason had known
about these places, Kizy would also know the
same, thus he calmed down a little.
“I’m not only know about them, but I have been
to one of them personally.” Kizy said casually,
but this literally shocked Markus.
“Are you for real? You went to one of these
places? Which one?” Markus asked in a still
shocked voice.
“Green triangle.” Kizy replied.
Green triangle, was a roughly triangular shaped
island, situated far away from other countries. It
was a world in itself, different from the normal
world.
“Woah!! You are far ahead than me.” Markus
said, his voice a little complaining.
“Just went there to meet more people last year.”
Kizy said.
“Wait wait wait. Last year? Like for the Gala
held last year, where all the major groups from
the entire globe, including Z city and Imperial
nation, were invited?” Markus able, not being
able to keep calm anymore.
“Hmmm.” Kizy replied.
“What ‘hmmm’!!! You went to the GALA!!!”
Markus exclaimed.
“Yes.” Kizy said a little awkwardly, not knowing
if that was something wrong or right from
Markus’s reaction.
“But wait. Only people with invitation were
allowed. Not to mention the invitations were
only sent to the most powerful groups. And off
course no one would dare to trespass the Gala.
So why were you there?” Markus asked
confusedly.
“Because I was invited.” Kizy said.
“You were invited? You are not that special to
receive the invite though.” Markus said, disbelief
written on his face.
“Yes I received the invitation. In fact my entire
group was invited.” Kizy said.
“You mean Jason and your team?” Markus
asked, still not believing it.
“Yes.” Kizy said.
“But why will they invite you? If they can invite
small groups like you, they could have definitely
invited any local gang as well.” Markus said,
looking down on Kizy.
“What? Small group? Does ‘Black Command’
sound like some small group? Are you serious?”
Kizy said, not knowing what else she should
say.
“Of course a small group. Do you think ‘Black
comma-” Markus was speaking when he
suddenly paused.
“Wait!! What did you just say?? ‘Black
Command’? As in THE DEATHBRINGERS:
BLACK COMMAND?” Markus said, his tone
severe.
“Yes. Finally you know.” Kizy said, sighing.
“But you never told me about your group.”
Markus said.
“Oh. I forgot. I thought I would have told you
about it yesterday. But no I was wrong. So, I was
a part of ‘Black Command’.” Kizy said after a
minute, remembering she had never told her
group’s name to Markus.
“How can you forget such an important thing!!”
Markus exclaimed but Kizy simply smiled in
response, not knowing what else she should do.
“So Jason must be Black thunder, the leader of
‘Black Command’. Then you would be Black
Rose or Black Diamond.” Markus said and
paused once again.
“You.. you… you are Black Diamond right?” This
time Markus was literally shouting.
Kizy immediately stood up from her place and
went beside Markus, covering his mouth tightly
to stop him from speaking louder.
“Shhhhh. Are you crazy? Calm down first.” Kizy
warned.
Markus nodded at her, making Kizy remove her
hand from his mouth.
“You are Black Diamond, right? Jason had
called you Diamond the previous time.” Markus
said, though his voice was lowered, he was still
hyped up.
“Yes you are right.” Kizy said.
“Oh my #king goodness!! You are black
diamond!! I am truly married to Gungoddess!!”
Markus exclaimed..
Kizy just kept silent before speaking.
“Now that I remember, weren’t you invited for
the Gala as well?” Kizy asked, trying hard to
remember.
Markus froze for a minute, before saying.
“No I wasn’t.” He said, his voice monotonous.
“No. As much as I remember, Satan was
supposed to be one of the guests. Your name
was even there on the invited list. In fact I was
dying to meet Satan, especially after hearing
rumours about how powerful and mighty he is.”
Kizy said honestly.
“So you were just another fangirl.” Makus said,
ÇOçkily.
“Yeah but I now know why they were only
rumours. Because the truth is truly far away
from those imaginations.” Kizy said while
nodding her head, as if confirming something.
“You.. you are just jealous about the fact that I
turned out to be your dream man.” Markus said,
pointing his finger at Kizy.
“No. Just sad, knowing all my dreams were only
fake fantasies, because the Satan of my
dreams never existed in reality.” Kizy said,
teasing Markus even more.
“Then do you think being ‘Black Diamond’ is
cool?” Markus said, mocking Kizy.
“Ohh. I never thought like that though. Weren’t
you the one who was exclaiming as if you were
to die from happiness for marrying
Gungoddess. I never thought that being
Diamond was something cool, it was only you.”
Kizy said, stating the facts.
“I wasn’t exclaiming happily, I was so shocked
after knowing that YOU were Black Diamond
that I felt like crying. You know how frustrating
it is to know that my dream girl has turned out
to be someone as stupid as you!!” Markus said,
pouting a little.
“Yeah yeah. You weren’t happy and pigs can fly.
” Kizy said, not paying attention to Markus
anymore.
“Surely they will fly when I throw them at you.”
Markus said.
Who would have expected that a day would
arrive where two eminent identities like Black
Diamond and Satan would get to meet each
other like this, bickering and mocking each other
for their positions while half of the world could
only dream of achieving those positions?
“Okay so why didn’t you attend the gala?” Kizy
asked, ignoring his previous statement.
“I didn’t want to join those groups. I have heard
a lot about them, and if there is any word to
describe them, it is – Dark. Their world is way too
dark, something I never wanted to enter.”
Markus said.
“Yeah that’s true though.” Kizy said, nodding her
head.
“Ohh look! You made me forget why I had called
you in the first place.” Markus said,
remembering wh@tëver Joel had told him about
Paula.
“What?” Kizy asked.
“Can you guess where those weapons would be
from?” Markus said, asking about Aaron’s
weapon.
“Either Z city or Imperial nation. I have been to
Green triangle and I have seen their weapons.
But most probably, I think this would be the
Imperial nation.” Kizy said, her voice a little
unnatural.
“Why do you think so?” Markus asked.
“Aaron had some of those royal weapons. And
you know, only the Imperial nation is known for
Royalty.” Kizy answered.
“Hmmm.” Markus said, knowingly.
“But why are you asking about Aaron’s weapon
or the black market?” Kizy asked.
“To find more about the people who captured
him.” Markus said, trying to hide that he was
investigating Paula.
“They were people from the Imperial Nation.”
Kizy said.
“How do you know?” Markus asked, his
forehead creased.
“There is one person who would want him alive
and dead at the same time, someone who
would want to make his life a living hell, but
needs him at the same time.” Kizy said, her
voice unnatural, as if she was saying something
about which she never wanted to talk about.
“Who?” Markus asked, even more confused by
Kizy’s statement.
