Hanging up the call Colonel headed towards the interrogation room. Opening his eyes in a daze, he saw a bright surge of light. After blinking for quite sometime when he became a little comfortable with the view he saw a large bald man about 6 feet or higher and a young woman both dressed in black outfits.
Seeing him regain consciousness, Colonel grabbed the man's shoulder with a firm grip, then looking into his eyes with a fierce look asked him who he was.
The man still in a bit of daze answered," Huh.. What? Where am I? Who are you people?"
Colonel was readying his fist and was about to knock his teeth out, when one of the analyst shouted," Sir, it's the pizza delivery boy that came after the police but we didn't pay much attention to him since he wasn't called by the target."
Hearing this, the Colonel lost his cool and roared on the top of his voice," Then what the fuck was he doing, lying unconscious in the target's house?"
After taking a deep breath and calming himself down a bit the colonel ordered over the walkie talkie," Listen all units! the target is dressed as a pizza delivery boy in a red suit, you will receive the vehicle number in a few moments, engage immediately if you visualise the target. I repeat, all units! you have received security 3 clearance, intercept the target at all costs, over."
Now a bit composed, loosening his grip a bit from his shoulder, colonel asked the delivery boy, who was now almost shaking in fear," Don't worry you are safe. We won't hurt you. What's your name?"
In a nervous tone the man replied," Mike Lane."
Colonel : Okay Mike listen, there's nothing to be afraid of, you are alright. We just need a little of your help in catching someone very dangerous. You will help us, right?
Mike ( still afraid and shocked) : Yes.
Colonel : Ok Mike. Now do you remember the number of your delivery vehicle?
Mike : Yes it's XXXX XXXX.
Colonel : Lieutenant send this to all our units and resources and also contact the local police we need to find this vehicle within tonight.
First Lieutenant : Yes sir.
Colonel : Now Mike, try to calm your mind and think clearly what do you remember before fainting?
Mike : I remember coming to deliver a pizza in Sector 45, Bronze Bird street, in house number 7B left row. As I was nearing the house there was a sudden power outage, and I also remember seeing the police apprehending some people. Then when I knocked on the door I suddenly blacked out. I don't remember anything after that.
Colonel : Alright Mike, we will give you some clothes and once we verify your ID and statement, you are free to leave. Just rest for now, ok.
Mike : Okay sir.
Heading out of the room colonel ordered," I need the footage of every single surveillance camera on the streets, on the screens. Now!
Not only that, I also need the footages from cameras near the ATMs, hospitals, police stations, shopping mall, everything.
I need every eye we have searching for that vehicle. And start tracking his bank accounts, we must know the details of every transaction that he makes. I need to know his location the moment he tries to make any transaction, I don't care if he is using a card or his phone or a direct bank transaction, I need his damn location."
Analyst 1 : Copy that, colonel.
Colonel : Lieutenant, let's head towards the target's house, we must find at least some clues there.
First Lieutenant : As you command, sir.
Both of them headed towards Asher's house.
Inside Asher's house.
The people search turned every corner of every room upside down in hopes of digging out any clue or hint that could lead them to their target, but cause of the blackout it was like literally fumbling around in the dark.
While they were totally engrossed in searching for clues in the dark, a sudden loud voice, breaking the quiet, thundered the room," Give me the finger prints you found, let's check them up in our database."
Almost every single one of them startled and turned around to find a large pitch black figure standing near the front door along with another figure. It took them a few moments to recognise their own colonel and lieutenant.
One of them replied," Sir we thoroughly searched every inch and corner of the house but shockingly we couldn't find any prints, it was as if the whole house was washed inside out."
Colonel : What? So you are telling me that you searched every glass, every plate, every door knob, every window, even the taps and the mirrors, you searched every wall and furniture but you found nothing, no prints at all. Is he a freaking cat that you didn't find any finger prints?
Agent 1 : Sir we even searched the edges of the windows and the outer walls but nothing.
Colonel : Damn it! damn it! damn it! He didn't contact the police but our agents got caught, he didn't order the pizza but the delivery boy was lying unconscious beside his door, he even caused a power outage in the locality and escaped right under our noses. And now we can't even find a single finger print in a whole God damn house, just who is this guy?
First Lieutenant : Sir, he must be getting help from the outside, otherwise any of this doesn't seem possible.
Colonel : Well can't deny the possibility of that being the case but ( buzz.... buzz.... the phone started vibrating). Hello ( receiving it over the bluetooth).
Analyst 1 : Sir we have discovered two transaction histories of the target's bank account. One was from the headmaster of the target's school, he allowed the target an access of 35,000 from his late parents' property at 9:45 am and another was the target's employer Mr Abiola who send the target a sum of 25,000 this morning at 10:30 am.
Colonel : What now! Don't tell me these people are involved in this mess too.
Analyst 2 : Sir we have traced an ongoing transaction, the target at this moment is trying to withdraw the whole sum.
Colonel : Great job, now we gotcha you, you son of a bitch, trace his location and put him on the screen, just tell me you see his God damn face, yeah and for safety reasons, just copy the note numbers in case we aren't able to immediately apprehend him.
Analyst 2 : Sir there seems to be another problem.
Colonel : What! don't tell me you can't trace the location.
Analyst 1 : No sir, that's not the case, we are sending you the footage from the CCTV near the ATM, just look for your self.
Colonel took out his phone from the pocket to watch the footage sent by the analysts, he became speechless the moment he played the video.
With a frown of curiosity, the lieutenant asked him, " Sir, what is it?"
The colonel almost cried in despair as the words came out of his mouth," It's a fucking old lady withdrawing the money, that damn boy played us all once again."
The story of an orphan boy getting an unknown power(existence) by accident and getting chased by the world's most deadly organizations.
Now it's upto him to escape and find out what is that existence, is it evil, dangerous?
Can he keep his sanity and make that existence submit? Or will he be consumed by it ? Or maybe die from an assassin even before trying.
