Let us play a game!

      To completely believe what one says is like inviting fire to come burn the forest. 

     Takshika would have hardly entered the hideout filled with golden darkness when she received all kinds of greetings.

Agent Vishekh was the first to notice her as he called out her name aloud, when it was Captain Shikhen whose eyes desired her presence more than anyone.

          Was it the reason why Misha, even though wanting the safety of this lady her beloved seemed to care a little too much about, that she winced in pain? When she did not even let a breath out all the while her wound was being cleaned off.

      Oh the tragedies of love.

   All eyes were fixed on her who was staring back at them all a little confused, covered in mud and blood. She raises her brows at them. Misha rolls her eyes mentally scoffing at this child of a girl who does not even realises they were worried for her.

   All of them, not her.

       She dismisses the agent helping her in removing the bullet with just the stare of those fiery fanciable eyes of hers. He leaves with a little bow of his head.

     Her eyes transverse between Shikhen and Takshika who were not saying a thing, just staring at each other. While Takshika's eyes were calm like the sea, Shikhen's were exposing furious waves in the same very sea.

  Misha swallows a breath, her eyes blazing fire as she clenches her jaw. ( What is that he is always so worried about her ? )

      "Is something the matter?"

      Takshika asks, not sure why Captain
Shikhen was looking at her like that. Worried and, relieved.

  Being lost after a battle when she has gone after a suspicious man does not seems a big deal to her, neither to Misha, nor to the other three agents of their team. They would do the same even if it meant their end. But, obviously, they were happy to see her all fine.

    "Nothing Takshika, we are just relieved to see you fine" Misha answers making her snap her head at her. For once, everyone could miss it but the fire in her eyes does not go unnoticed by Takshika.

    She is her sister after all.

       In a decieving manner.

Takshika smiles at her a short smile and as her eyes wonder to the other men of their team, she receives a warm smile from each of them. However, Captain Shinkhen's smile was ephemeral.

   "You all seem ready to deceive" Takshika jokes at their changed attires and the men burst out laughing speaking their words of support. Except Shikhen.

  "of course, we never fail" Agent Shivant says as he rubs his hands dry with a cloth too wet to dry well anything, after he had washed Misha's blood out of his hand.

    "Exactly, " Agent Vishekh chuckles gathering his things, all ready to step out of this room like he has never been here.

   Takshika shares a smile as he passes past her, patting her shoulder and tells "I will be leaving first." She nods and his eyes travel to his seniors to which Captain Shikhen blinks in affirmation and Agent Misha simply nods.

       Agent Vishekh walks out plastering a large grin on his face, completely satisfied with his show of power and firing today.

        Agent Ryan follows him out seeking permission from his captain, and stops by Takshika. "You should get ready for the deceiving game yourself, agent" he smiles
suggestively, dusting her arm that was much dirty than all else of her attire.
