Chapter 56 - 56. Consoling 'Him'
“Some people took her away.” Finally Jack mustered the courage to speak.
“And what were you doing?” Markus shouted.
“We were not their match. Plus the ladyboss knows them. She went with them willingly.” Alex spoke up.
“What do you mean she knows them? Does she know our enemy? And she went away with them?” Joel asked with confusion.
“No, not the enemy.” Jack said.
After that both he and Alex recited the entire scene, from there fake kidnapping to ladyboss killing enemies with one shot and finally entry of a dangerous man when she was shot and how he saved them and left with her before berating them and leaving a message for Markus.
“Do you know the people who captured you?” Markus asked.
“No.” All of them answered simultaneously.
“I have seen him once before this.” Suddenly the driver replied.
“Who?” Markus asked.
“The man who had captured us.” Driver replied.
“Elder master was investigating him two years ago.” He continued.
But this made Markus even more confused. Who exactly was this person? Why had his grandpa investigated him? Why was that man coming for his life? All sorts of questions were popping while he didn’t know how to find the answer.
After investigating about the enemy, he finally asked about Kizy. Though he had wanted to ask about the details from beginning, his first task was to know his enemy, as he already knew that Kizy wasn’t in danger anymore.
“What message did ‘That Man’ left?” Markus asked.
Though deep inside he was equally stunned at her actions as much as the bodyguards and Joel were. All her mysterious actions, her background, her secrets were bugging him.
“He asked boss to come and find the ladyboss.” Alex replied.
Markus quickly called her number but Kizy wasn’t picking the call.
“Boss I think her phone would still be in our car. It had slipped and slid beneath the car seat. Ladyboss tried hard but was not able to retrieve it.” Jack replied remembering this scene.
‘What the hell!’ Markus thought.
He started searching for some hints or clues that he might have missed upon. And finally remembered that Grandpa had mentioned some other partner in C City.
Hence he immediately dialled back to his grandpa who accepted the call on the first ring.
“Hello grandpa, I need your help.” Markus said through the call.
“What is it?” Grandpa asked, a little tensed.
“Can you ask your partners to help me find Kizy?” Markus went straight to the point.
“What happened to Kizy?” Grandpa asked worriedly.
And thus Markus recited the entire scene again in brief, before mentioning the appearance of a mysterious group whom Kizy was familiar with and they took her away.
“You mean she went with them willingly?” Grandpa asked.
“Yes.” Markus replied a little frustrated.
“Then you don’t have to worry. She will be safe.” Grandpa assured him.
“But ‘That Man’ asked me to come find her.” Markus said. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“I think Kizy will try to contact you soon. So stay still for now. And go back to your hotel, someone might attack you since you have taken less people.” Grandpa ordered.
“But grandpa how can-” And Markus was cut off.
“Listen to what I say. Go back now.” Grandpa said sternly.
“Also I had one more question. Our driver says that he has seen the man who wants to kill me. He said that he had seen you investigating him.” Markus asked.
“You go back to your hotel first. We can find and discuss more about this once all of you are back safe.” Grandpa said.
“Ok.” Markus replied.
With that Markus had to go back with Joel, Mr. Lee and his men to their hotel. But somehow he was having a bad premonition about the entire situation.
Thus once they were back in the hotel, he immediately asked Mr. Lee to find out more about the group who had rescued Kizy.
*INSIDE AN OLD FACTORY, C CITY*
“It’s not that serious.” Kizy was trying to console ‘Him’ while doctor was removing bullet from her leg.
Fortunately the bullet had not damaged any vital part, and was located superficially, making it easier to remove and treat the area.
But the scenario was somehow funny in the room.
Kizy, who was getting her bullet removed, was trying to lessen the intensity of the situation, while ‘He’ looked as if the one to receive the injury was ‘Him’.
‘His’ silence and that continuously deepening frown was making Kizy more terrified than the bullet and her treatment right now.
Kizy tried to signal First sister, Harry and man in formals to help her out, but all of them simply ignored her, never intending to even glance at her face.
Finally the doctor successfully wrapped her leg in bandages, warning her to rest and not to apply any pressure on that leg. The doctor only left after warning her thrice, knowing how Kizy’s behaviour was.
“So Diamond, is this what you were seeking? You should have told me. I would have shot, injured and maybe even killed you if that was your wish.” ‘He’ said in a very low voice, but it was exactly this voice that was sending chills down her spine.
“Jason it’s not like that.” Finally Kizy could no longer tolerate and called him by his name, which she only did when she was about to say something serious.
“Then what it’s like? Explain Diamond.” Jason continued.
“My plan was entirely perfect, and I would have succeeded as well, just that those damned backups had to enter at the wrong timing.” Kizy spoke honestly.
“Diamond, don’t let me remind you of your careless behaviour which is the reason we never let you plan. Anyways you know this is not what I am asking. What were you planning to do if we had not arrived on time?” Jason continued questioning.
“I don’t know about that.” Kizy answered dejectedly.
“If you don’t know how to plan, why would you walk into a trap?” Jason spoke, still in lowered volume.
“Who was going to plan it for me? You know that I am never good at it. But you were already furious the last time I asked Harry and first sister to help me.” Kizy complained.
“Is that my problem? If you don’t know how this world works, you shouldn’t have left in the first place!!” Jason shouted.
“Jason, you already know why I left.” Kizy said.
