Arthur's P.O.V.
Today was really a day. Keira has amused me since day one. She looked fragile but I feel she is not. She is not what she is pretending. In the last two years. I studied her, in spite of several warning signs I got from Ryder who hates her through the core of his heart without any reason. I just wonder whether he too observed the tacts she used to calm herself down when Meira and her gang bullied her. Interesting things in her were her techniques which were not the normal techniques one learns in anger management classes. Counting on fingers, closing the opening of fists in a rhythmic manner. Impressive. I sometimes tried to befriend her but it's not easy as I am a part of Ryder's Gang and everyone feared us. Whenever she saw us, she only did one thing, run in the opposite direction.
But today, when Ryder asked me when did I noticed her, I was shocked. How could he skip this? It's an important part of our job to study our surroundings, to study behaviors. Ryder is good at studies. Actually, he is a master. How could he miss?
But, there were more surprises. When the info Kyle provided us told us about 12 freaking years of her life hidden in encrypted data which is not normal, we all are shocked. The data which can be accessed by anyone shows a normal life structure of an orphan. But what about this encrypted data. Her school records were not matching in both data. Normally they showed a good school record with good percentages, good attendance, and excellent academic record.
It's not a single doubt if you have known her personally, you would believe this data. She is really exceptional with a sharp memory and a straight-A grade student. But in other data, she is never enrolled in any school after primary. It's really suspicious. I requested Kyle to investigate her records in university as well. Though she is in front of us, who knows, what hidden here.
In the evening, we all gathered at our hiding, when Ryder told us about lead. Though we all have a strong background with Billionaire's figure, we secretly work for a secret organization, who works against the mafia involved in drugs, ammunitions, and human trafficking. It's our big secret. Robin has a suspicion about a big deal going to be held in somewhere in New York and a big whale is helping them. But we are not getting any clue regarding this. Today, we got a small success and get the address where a meeting is going to be held to close the deal. So, time to some action now.
Ryder's P.O.V.
When we reached that abandoned warehouse in a remote area, a smug formed on my lips. A perfect place to seal these kinds of deals. We took our positions to secure the area. I scanned the whole area. "Arthur, Robin, Chris, 4 men with weapons guarding the area against behind those containers abandoned in the farthest corner at right, 3 men with weapons on the roof beside water tank in front, 4 men with weapons behind these long tree lines in left, approx 12 men scattered down. All have automatic weapons, but one with a hi-tech gun on the roof can be a problem for us. Kyle, Tony, u know what to do", I informed all and instructed them to follow the formation we had discussed earlier. They all nodded and scattered to take their positions. I again scanned the area to get any other possible threat. I don't know but there was an uneasiness in the air. It is giving a bad vibe like it's a trap where we are heading.
I jumped straight to the ground from a long container's roof and took my position. Arthur and Robin were on right to immobilize the guards there. Chris was on left and I was heading towards the building in front of me to get on the roof as soon as possible. We have to do all our tasks without making any noise and fess. From a dark corner, I started climbing rainwater pipe but got on halt when I saw a red pointed flash on my chest on left. I know, I got caught. But before I could move any of my fingers, the flash disappeared and I saw the body straight coming towards me. I know what I have to do. I instantly grab his hand in the air and jump silently on the ground without making any noise with the body on my shoulder. I placed the body in a far corner and then scanned it. It was a straight shot in the middle of the forehead. I clean shot. I asked through our link to everyone who did this but got a negative answer. I got suspicious. But, there was no time to investigate right now. I again started climbing on the roof. Once I reached there, I came to my first shock. Rest 2 men were slaughtered and all their weapons were perfectly immobilized. "Hey, who is taking these shots", yelled Arthur through the link. All of us were shocked.
Suddenly, Kyle shouted, "it's a trap, there are mines all over the area. Run now and get the hell out of from here approx 400 meters far". I knew it. How could it be possible to get the lead easily? I started running towards the edge of the roof when a thud sound attracts me. I saw on my left and see a lean figure staring at me and then it jumped in the air. I ran there. I saw a cable attached to the roof and a handle left there. At the next very end of this string, the stranger signaled me to take the handle. Without thinking I grabbed the handle and saw the stranger running in shadows. As soon as I reached the other end, I noticed I am at safe distance. When I scanned the area behind, I was literally shocked. All the men on the ground were killed. But there is no time to think. I started running towards our hidden spot. I was running and thinking about the stranger. Who was that? I must know.
