WHAT'S WITH HER FACE

1623 Words
 Arthur’s P.O.V.       She left me again but I remembered that she promised me that she would come back soon. It was not like our previous encounters where she appeared and disappeared suddenly. This time I knew that she would come. This time she was with me. She was in my embrace and I could feel her pain and loneliness in my heart. What I didn’t expect was that she would drug me there. I was tricked by her again but this time…. I was not as angry as I was before. We actually talked this time. I was able to tell her how angry I was with her for abandoning me. I knew that she was in Boston now and I am determined to find her.       I didn’t know why but I had this feeling that she is somehow connected to that restaurant. I found out that Francesco visited only this restaurant in the past 4 years since the opening of this restaurant in Boston. He never with his bodyguard there. I asked Kyle to find the information about the owner and the workers of that restaurant. He sent me the information of all the employees. I separated all the female employees and studied all female employees.       The girl who served us that day was the manager of that restaurant, Ms. Carla Benson. It was quite interesting. I didn’t think that Francesco would disclose his identity there as a mafia don. The only valid reason that I could think of was that she was familiar with Francesco or a good friend of him. According to Stacy, Francesco also loved Keira and she was not better than Keira in any aspect. So, she must befriend of him.     The next female who took my attention was Bella Carson, the owner of that restaurant. I didn’t know why but she was looking quite mysterious. She was pretty with hazel eyes like Keira. She was nothing like Keira except for her eye colours. She was a native of America and her profile was very clear. Her parents died in a car accident a few years ago and since then none of her relatives showed up again. The corner of my lips curled up while reading her profile. It was too dramatic and far from reality. But we couldn’t say what destiny brings for the one. It might be true or it might be plotted. I decided to investigate her. It would be better than to speculate.     I heard my phone ringing and looked at the caller ID. It was Chris. I picked up the call and greeted him, “Hey, Chris… how are you?”     “I am fine, bro… what about you? Kyle told me that he found you in a deserted area at the outskirt of the city a few days ago. What happened?” I could say that he was concerned because he seemed worried.     “Guess what happened?” I crossed my legs and smiled again because he would yell next. “No way”, he exclaimed and I laughed internally. “Yes… she injected something to me and made me fainted and then left me there”, I told him and he sighed aloud. “Did you talk with her this time? What did she say?” he asked me and I could say that he was sad now.     I sighed and looked at the roof again. “This time… we actually talked”, I told him and he instantly asked me about our chat. “She promised me that she will come back soon”, I was positive this time that she would keep this promise.     “Are you sure that she is in Boston?” I was really surprised that he got that hint so soon. “I am damn sure, Chris that she is here”, I looked at the file of Bella that was in front of me on the table. I picked up the papers again in my hand.     “Tell me how did you met and in which circumstances. I will try to get her location”, he said to me and then an idea came up in my mind. “Chris … I need a favour”, I said to him and he asked me what. “I am sending you a file of a girl. I want every information on her”, I said to her and there was a gasp on the other side.     “You want information on a girl?” he asked in disbelief and I rolled my eyes. “I have some doubt on this girl profile. She was so… so… clean and… it’s a kind of déjà vu”, I remembered that we had this conversation before.     “We had this conversation over Keira before”, I sighed aloud and rubbed my temple. Yes … we had this same conversation over Keira that time. It was Kyle then who found out that encrypted data of her. “Did you talk with Kyle about that girl?” he asked me and I told him, “Actually.. it’s Kyle who gave me this data. I actually went to a restaurant that day and I found something weird about that place. I asked Kyle to investigate that restaurant employees”, I told him truthfully. He sighed and then replied to me, “I am sure that he wouldn’t have miss anything. Still you want to investigate then …. Send me the profile”.        “Okay… I am sending you the mail. Let’s meet this Sunday”, I said to him and then we both hung up the call. I looked at Bella’s photo again. I wanted to know the mystery behind this face. She was stranger but yet too familiar. Could it be that Keira has plastic surgery? I raised my brows on my own thought.  It could be a possibility. I haven’t seen her in any of our encounters.       I guessed I should go to that restaurant once again. I thought for a while and then called Kyle. “Hey.. Kyle… what are you doing in the evening today?” I asked him straight. “I am free after 2 hours. I have a meeting to attend in 15 minutes”, he told me and I smiled while looking at her. “Let’s have dinner together”, I said to him.     “Okay… where do you want to go?” he asked me. I pursed my lips and gave a thought to my plan for a second. “I think the restaurant where we met Francesco… the food was really good”, I clicked my tongue and put down the papers back on the table again.     “What’s the matter, Arthur?” he asked me in straight words. “What the problem could be here, Kyle? The food was good and up to my taste. Their Chef special was really good that day”, I couldn’t understand why he was making a fuss here.     “It’s about food or something else?” he asked me again and I raised my brows again. “Kyle…. Is everything okay?” I questioned back this time. There is silence on the other side. “Let’s talk over dinner”, he said to me and before I could say anything, he hung up the phone.     His action made me curious and suspicious at the same time. I was sure that there is something that he is hiding from me….. or…. from us???? She didn’t contact with anyone all this time but….. Kyle and Keira were best friends and almost inseparable. Kyle did everything that Keira required without even asking by her. This could be a possibility here that Keira is in touch with him all those years. I picked up my phone from the table again and messaged Chris for something that I wanted to know.     “Sir”, I looked in the direction and a girl was standing there. “The bidding is at the end of next week. Please check the mail. Everything that we have found is in it”, she informed me and then went outside again.     I opened the mail and I was not surprised to see Francesco’s name at the top of the list. I scrolled down the list and was quite impressed to see so many big shots there. I picked up the phone and called my unit. “Ready for the meeting in 10”, I gave the order and then put down the phone.  I called Cyber King and Stone Heart then and asked them to attend the meeting with us. Almost 50 top mafias are going to attend this bidding. If we need to capture or kill the maximum, we needed a complete solid plan. I really missed my team sometimes. We were great at making plans and never failed once. I remembered every single day that we spent together. A smile crept on my lips.       The intercom buzzed pulling me out of my stance. I pressed the answer button. “We are ready for the meeting, Sir”, the person told me and I said okay to him. I sighed while standing up. Let’s see what time brings for me.
