Quiescent Storms

~THIRTY FIVE~

Picture credits to the respective owners. I just collage it and typed out the quote.

"You're already here." I heard a familiar stiff voice stating out causing me to reduce my speed at the treadmill.

Halting my running session, I got down from the treadmill while rubbing the small towel at my face and neck for rinsing off the sweat.

"I was waiting for you."I simply responded as Arnaldo handed over a bottle of water towards me.Nodding in gratitude, I took a few sips of water as other force member continued to do in their own warm ups around us.

It was 7 am in the morning and as per I had eavesdrop,Arnaldo was going to meet the phantom forces at this underground gym.So, waking up early in the morning,I quickly went at the infirmary and asked a nurse to change my shoulder bandages.

I knew I won't have to face Bella at early in the morning.

Deciding that I won't come here anymore since there's a chance Bella may actually caught me this time,I brought along my needed outfits in another plastic bag according to the outfit criteria of Lucifer's soldiers. Arnaldo had managed to gather one picture of their outfit for the betterment of our undercover disguise.

I had worn a black nike sports bra under my black shirt so that I can just take off the shirt while warming up in the gym.

"You want to talk now or after I brief the forces about operation?"Arnaldo asked glancing around everyone as they averted their gazes immediately on their task.

I was expecting the gym to be empty at that early morning, but instead I met with a group of mascular and strong male species as they remained spread around the whole gym area working out according to their preferance.Most of them seems to recognize me from my undercover missions as they occasionally glanced at my figure while I continued to do basic exercise,careful not to cause any strain at my right shoulder.

"You do know that I'm a member of that forces you'll brief right?"I skeptically asked out wondering if Kendrick Ivano forgot to mention this to Arnaldo.

But his unsurprised expression led me to conclude that he do know that I'm joining him today.

"You're sure that you can slip away without Alfred and Gabriel knowing?" Arnaldo blankly asked as I calmly watched over his expression.

He's not taunting me.He's actually curious to know if I had thought anything about that or not.

"I'll go in the data cell after this for observing everything.Watching everyone plan away their depart without involving me,I'll show a silent rage wishing a good luck to everyone and abrubtly leaving the room.Papa, my crew mates and Mr.Ivano clearly knows how much I hate getting left behind. So,they won't even search for my presence when they'll leave. They'll simply know that I'll join Chris later for getting updates about the whole situation." I summarised out the whole situation as Arnaldo's blank expression shifted into an impressed one.

Perks of being a psychologist.

I do know that's how the situation will need to go out.As much as I'm making everyone believe that I'm doing all of this to avoid communication,there's an underlined motive for this decision of mine.

Knowing their mind,I'm sure my indirect involvement with my father's capture will leave them distracted and edgy for my life security and mental state. So,they won't be able to completely focus with my thoughts as a drawback.

"I'll be present at a corner of the parking area.When you all will come there,wait for me until I silently enter in your car through shadows by dodging CCTV camera."I again added as Arnaldo slightly smirked at my last words.
