Chapter 4

AL's POV

She went to her home after I parted ways with her. I didn't follow her then, I'm not the type to follow girls around.

I put my tracker on again. 

"You're fired!!" Felix yelled.

Don't worry. He says that a million times every month. 

"Ok thanks" I replied. 

"Hey! Wait, just kidding" 

"I know" 

"Hm... So we've got a mission" 

"What?" 

"First the conditions. It should not be blown like the last one at any costs!" he yelled in anger. 

"Ok" 

"Hm. Someone's planning something against the state mayor. You've got to save him" 

"Who's that someone?" 

"The DFM" 

"How? What are they gonna do? Why?" 

"Go to their headquarters and listen to it yourself," he said. 

I just went to their known headquarters. Not really known, I just know it. 

I put on my usual form. Usual, that's, of course, my black jacket and my black cap, followed by my black glasses and my black earbuds. 

Dashing, isn't it? 

I went to their side hall. They were in the main hall that was also the control room. I'm an expert in doing things stealthily. 

I was just facing the other side as I reached near the main hall. I stood against a wall, listening to their conversation. My face faced the wall that stood in front of me, while I was all ears to them. 

"Hm, so Mr. Joe is going to be dead by tomorrow, copy that!" 

"Copied, sir," they said. 

I missed the main conversation I guess. I came here after so much trouble. All these cameras, these securities, and I didn't get anything. That's not my style. 

I entered inside slowly, looking down, making sure that my hat covered my face and they looked together at me, and I'm sure that they recognized me. 

"Hey, AL. Nice to meet you again!" one of the guys, who is supposed to be the boss, spoke. His name is J by the way. Yes, J. Huh, these names. 

"Leave Mr. Joe" 

"Huh, why do you act like you're good? Come on dude, you're like us" 

"Take it as a warning Robe" 

"Oh don't come on my real name, AL, I'll expose yours" 

"Like you know!" 

"Hm, Your name is..." he showed me a paper. 

"Mark? Huh, I used that name ages ago" 

"Don't piss me off! If you want to make it out alive then join hands" 

"Oh really?? My skills aren't for bad!" 

"Hm bear the consequences," he said trying to threaten me. Well, I guess I should be when I'm here all alone. 

He started to attack me, which I dodged easily. But being alone with the entire team of them, I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it out. And, I wouldn't want to be in bad hands.

So yes, I took the craziest decision to run away, which I didn't do earlier, never actually. I beat some of them and ran away.

As I went a bit too far from their headquarters, that was the time to call Felix. He called me himself, though.

"Hey, AL. You're safe now" he said with a sigh like he was holding his breath for the last 15 minutes. 

If that was possible. 

"I know it better, I guess"

"Oh yea," he said. 

"You almost got me surrendered today!"

"Hm? Surrendered? And you?"

"Yaya. I know that's impossible. I'm never gonna do that. But the important thing is that... I couldn't hear anything because I was late!"

"Hm that's what was expected, but did you do what you went for there for?"

"Of course! Track their voice now!" I said.

Yup. You got it right. I inserted a microphone and a tracking device near their hall.

"Hey hey! I'm forwarding the voice to your tracker" he said and then I could hear those guys.

"Fuck! How can you let him go!" someone spoke. 

"He was not of any use anyway!"

"Well well. Don't try to postpone the murder!"

"We know boss!"

"K! Call Joe right now!" J called.

"R! Don't miss a second of their call!"

"M! Maintain the intensity and the frequency well!"

Huh? Do they have names or are they learning alphabets? 

"Hey hey wait. What's that black thing?? What the hell-" someone said. 

And the voice was gone. Maybe they found out the device.

Oh god. Voice manipulation. They're using their first card now!!

"Felix. Message Mr. Joe now!!" I screamed as I was directed back to him. 

"Got it, AL"

I was waiting for his response, but not just standing. I ran towards the mansion of Mr. Joe. 

He was going out with his bodyguards, in his car. I went to him, with my hat downer than usual. 

"Mr. Joe, your life's at risk" 

"Who are you?? How dare you-" one of his bodyguards came in front, covering him. 

"I'm leaving anyway. Well, the call you just received was manipulated by the DCF. Don't go" 

"That was a call from the president!" the other one yelled. 

"Oh really? Why would the president call the mayor and that too at this hour?" 

"He said that there's some important issue!" 

"Oh god. I'm hating it. Just don't go!" 

"We won't listen! Just leave!" 

"Hey, you-" his bodyguards came upon me and I don't hurt good people, so I made my way out. 

"Have you done any preparation, Felix?!?" I said as I got a little far. 

"Yup bro all set, we have blocked all the ways of him to reach them" 

"Good. Bring back up, I'm going to DCF" 

"Hey hey! Our people will take time! Just slow down" 

"I'm leaving now, back up is needed a little later, I'd like to have a talk first!" 

"Okay bro, all done, I informed them," he said a little later and I went to the headquarters again. 

Hmm wondering how I got there when all the ways were blocked? I go with bloody roofs, man! 

I reached there and I met them just at the gate. The boss. Namely, J. 

"Oh hi AL. How are you here, bro?" he said sarcastically, which wasn't humorous at all. 

"Leave Mr. Joe alone!" 

"Why the fuck!" 

"Money? That's what you want right?" 

"Huh, Mr. AL, We want much more than you can even think!" 

"And what is that?" 

"Power! Control!" 

"That you will never get, you piece of shit!" 

"You!!" he tried to attack me and I dodged and the backup was soon there. 

"Wanna have a one on one fight?" 

"One on one is done alone, my dear brother!" 

"Don't you fucking called me your brother!!" 

"Someone has-" 

"You! Just get ready!" just then my back up got ready with their weapons. They loaded their guns and pointed them at them. 

"Do you wanna fight?" I asked at last. 

"Leave it," they said looking at each other. 

"Huh? Afraid?" 

"What did you say?? You just-" 

"Hm? What? You just wait and watch you-" 

"You know what, even we have back up!" 

"What? No backup can st-" I was stopped by the scene that played on his phone ahead of me. I was not believing what I was seeing and what was happening. I.. I didn't know what I should do.
