Chapter 113 - 113. New Member?
Though Kizy felt that she should not trust this man, her intuition said that he wouldn’t be harming her. Thus after contemplating for fifteen minutes, she decided to follow him. Anyways she had somehow saved herself from a group of boys, a single man was definitely not a problem.
The man paid for both of them before leaving with Kizy.
“Keep your cell phone in your hands, unlocked.” The man said after exiting the cafe.
“Why?” Kizy asked, not knowing what this man wanted.
“Just in case you feel that you are not secure, you can call anyone or maybe even the police anytime.” The man said before walking ahead.
Kizy looked at his back for a moment before following..
They both walked like this, the man leading while Kizy followed for almost twenty minutes, when the man stopped in front of a deserted street.
He cautiously looked to both the sides, as if checking if someone else was watching them. After making sure that there was no one, he held Kizy’s hand and quickly entered the street, taking left and right turns in between, completely confusing Kizy.
At one point, she seriously felt like calling someone to inform them about her location.
Finally after walking for another ten minutes in this street maze, they stopped in front of an old factory.
“This will be our workspace.” The man said, leaving Kizy’s hand and opening the rusty gates.
“Are you serious?” Kizy finally asked annoyedly, raising her voice.
“You found a new member?” Suddenly a voice came from their front.
A girl, looking a little older than Kizy, was standing at the door of the factory, munching on some cookies. She was wearing a crop top and ripped jeans.
“New member?” Kizy asked.
“Yeah. New member for our team.” The man replied.
“So can we go inside and talk business now?” He asked Kizy.
Kizy thought for almost ten minutes, standing in front of that old factory. The man was in nor rush. He stood there, patiently waiting for Kizy to reply.
“Okay.” She finally said after thinking it through.
With that both of them entered, Kizy smiling a little at the girl in front of her. But she was shocked once again after entering. The old factory appearance of this building from outside was nowhere near to its inner look.
The room or more precisely the hall was entirely white in color. Even the furniture was white with golden borders. The walls were decorated with golden frames and other wall accessories.
“Have a seat first. Rose, go and bring her a glass of water.” The man said.
“No need. We just had juice.” Kizy replied instantly and then sat on a single sofa.
“Before I fill you up on the details about this job, I want you to sign a confidentiality agreement.” The man said.
“Why?” Kizy asked in a confused tone.
“Whatever job we do is extremely secretive and should not be known to others. Even if you do not join us, I want you to sign this so that you won’t tell anyone else about this job or anything related to this.” The man said.
“What if I do?” Kizy asked, just to know the consequences.
“Something worse than what was about to happen in Grey street-” The man wanted to continue but Rose interrupted.
“She went to Grey street? Alone!!” She asked in an excited voice, as if that was one of the most adventurous sports that could make your adrenaline rush.
“And your family members would be in danger. In the least.” The man continued, ignoring Rose’s excitement.
“Are you threatening me?” Kizy asked, angrily.
“No, not at all. Just telling the consequences of not keeping this confidential.Â
But yes. There is this one thing that I can promise you for sure. Once you join this team, till the day you leave it, nobody can harm you or your family. Your safety is my responsibility.
Nobody would even come to know your face, or your relation with any of the members you are close with.” The man said. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
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.
