EPISODE 32
*PRESENT TIME, MARKUS’s BEDROOM*
Kizy finished telling the story, her voice calm by
now.
“The mask, it was the same one I was wearing
for the masquerade ball that day.” Kizy said.
“Did he ever meet you again?” Markus asked, his
tone serious.
He never expected Kizy to have such a powerful
enemy behind her.
“No.” Kizy said, shaking her head.
“That’s a relief.” Markus said.
“No, it isn’t.” Kizy said.
“Why?” Markus asked.
Kizy took a deep breath.
“Nothing. Leave it. But I know we will be facing
trouble soon.” Kizy said seriously.
“What trouble?” Markus asked.
“The person who captured Aaron is Professor.
Aaron would definitely have hatred for us,
especially me. So I am sure the Professor would
use that against us.” Kizy said.
“Don’t worry. You are not alone in this. I am
there with you.” Markus said, embracing Kizy.
Kizy simply nodded, not knowing how she was
supposed to react to this.
She knew Markus, or more importantly Satan,
was an eminent figure with a lot of connections.
But when compared to Professor, Markus was
still lacking.
Thus all this time, the only thought she had in
mind was to strengthen themselves, so that
they could brace themselves against the enemy.
“I want to join your team. Anyways the
Professor knows I am with you. Plus him not
attacking us till now means that he is preparing
to attack or he is waiting for certain timing.
Thus I want us to be stronger, both financially
and powerwise.” Kizy said, planning ahead.
“You own the team, little lamb. You don’t have
to join it. As for the rest of things, we can
discuss them tomorrow. Let’s sleep for now.”
Markus said, noticing that Kizy had calmed
down completely.
Kizy nodded before taking another sip of water.
Markus turned the lights off, before embracing
Kizy, and slept only after he was sure that Kizy
was asleep.
Next day, Markus and Kizy got ready as usual,
leaving for the office. But midway, Kizy noticed
something.
“This is not the route to our company.” Kizy
said, confused.
“Yes. It isn’t.” Markus said.
“Then?” Kizy questioned.
“You will know that soon, little lamb. For now,
have some patience.” Markus said with a smile.
Kizy nodded and kept quiet, knowing Markus
won’t disclose it no matter what.
After half an hour, they had entered a forest
area, surrounded by huge trees on the perimeter.
But on a closer look, you could see huge walls
surrounding them, covered with wires which
were probably a part of the defence to
electrically shock a person illegally invading it.
Their car directly went to the centre of this
forest, which turned out to be a glass building,
full of modern devices.
“Woah!!” Was the first word Kizy uttered after
entering, as this made her awestruck front its
technological advancement.
“Welcome to our base.” Markus said with a
smile.
And something bloomed in her heart, especially
after hearing the word ‘our’.
Markus then took her to different departments,
showing her around his base.
“Good morning Boss and Lady boss.” The men
greeted them together and Markus just nodded
while Kizy smiled in response.
“This is our monitoring area. There are a total of
hundred and forty six CCTVs in this entire
premise. We can watch them all through this
room.” Markus said, showing the huge wall
covering monitor, showing various places on a
small rectangular screen.
They went to various areas before stopping in
front of the intelligence department.
“This place is our hidden treasure. Fortunately
we have got the best team working for this, and
we can uncover almost anything. Along with
intelligence, we have hackers accompanying
them. You can join them whenever you feel like.
” Markus said, remembering how skilled Kizy
was at hacking.
“Have you learnt hacking from here?” Kizy
asked, knowing that Markus’s level was on par
with her.
“I have done a lot of things in the past three
years. Some mistakes, some good deeds. You
will know all of them one by one. But for now,
we should just concentrate on our work.”
Markus said, as if remembering something from
his own past.
After that, they went to the training room, which
was further divided into different parts,
according to your skills. It consisted of a
fighting zone along with punching bags, gloves
and different equipment.
Another one was a shooting area, designed to
practice shooting skills.
Another room had targets and daggers or
blades were used to hit the target.
The next room was filled with grenades and
other explosives, while some guns were left
open, some men working on them.
“What are they doing?” Kizy asked, looking at
those men.
“Unlike Aaron, I don’t buy weapons from the
black markets. I buy local weapons and then we
make changes to it. I learnt this from grandpa.”
Markus said and paused.
“By the way, your gift was personally made by
grandpa. He made those changes to it.” Markus
said, leaving the room.
Kizy was left amazed by this fact.
Finally they stood in front of a huge iron gate,
locked properly, the path inside looking dark
and endless.
“This is our dungeon. It is dark, way too dark for
you. We punish our enemies, or betrayers over
here. But if you don’t want to enter, we can go
back.” Markus said, trying to decipher
something from Kizy’s expressions.
Kizy didn’t even think for a minute before
speaking.
“I want to go.” She said, confidently.
“Are you sure? The scene greeting you might be
too gruesome, full of blood and gore. Will that
be okay?” Markus asked again, confirming
Kizy’s decision.
“Yeah. I am in.” Kizy said, nodding her head
firmly.
“Okay.” With that, Markus signalled the four
gatekeepers, who in turn unlocked the gate,
opening the dark path.
Markus led the way, and only after entering did
Kizy realise that the path wasn’t too dark. It was
at least bright enough for her to see the path
clearly.
She was still walking when suddenly a shrill
scream was heard, followed by the smell of
blood filling the area.
“Are they punishing someone?” Kizy asked
“Hmmm.” Markus hummed before walking
ahead.
After they had walked almost a total of fifty
steps, rooms or more accurately cells with
prison gates started appearing on both sides.
There were people, or more like living corpses
inside, bodies covered in so much of blood, dirt
and filth that it was hard to distinguish the body
from all these.
But Kizy looked at all of them intently, not even
blinking her eyes.
The next person had his nails pulled out, his
hand and leg fingers bloody, while he was
screaming in a raspy voice, his throat dry.
Kizy stopped in front of this man, watching him
with her brows knitted.
Markus thought that he had severely frightened
Kizy beyond her level. He was about to hold her
hand and drag her out of this dungeon when
she spoke.
“This won’t work.” She said, confusing Markus.
“Huhh?” He asked, not knowing what Kizy
meant.
“This method won’t work.” Kizy said, shaking
her head.
“What do you mean?” Markus asked again.
“Why are you punishing him?” Kizy asked.
“He is a mole. He was caught before sharing
important information about my team. But he
isn’t talking about the people he works for.”
Markus explained.
“For how long?” Kizy asked.
“Two days.” Markus said.
“Can I go inside?” Kizy asked, looking at Markus
with hopeful eyes.
Markus just nodded confusedly, not knowing
what his wife was trying to do. He simply
followed behind her, to prevent any mishap.
But soon he understood how wrong he was
perceiving his wife.
Kizy directly went before stomping her pointed
heels on one of his bleeding fingers, exactly on
the bare skin where his nail used to be.
The man screamed like a pig, his voice reaching
every single corner of the dungeon.
“Who do you work for?” Kizy said in a calm
voice, as if she was asking whether he wants
tea or coffee.
“Aaaarrghh!!” The man kept shouting, without
answering Kizy.
“Quickly answer me or I can proceed to the next
step.” Kizy said.
