"IT WAS THE WRONG NUMBER"

27. Determination

TW- VIOLENCE 

MEGHAN'S POV

Even after writing MY LIFE IS A MESS on a paper and then flushing it in the toilet, I didn't find relief. Relief from everything happening right now.

Raise your right hand. Bring your palm near your face. Not too close. Now separate your 5 fingers maintaining a certain cm distance. Now bend your thumb and the index finger towards each other. Bring them close enough so that the nails are touching each other.

Can you make out the distance between them?

That's how close we were to find the location of the locker.

After 5 years of training, 5 years of investing, 5 years of waiting, we found out the man behind the accident only to come to a conclusion that the struggle wasn't worth it.

Coming down to 3 people, searching the locations of those 3 people, finding their activities, making a plan to bring them here, being successful in doing all these and still being unaccomplished.

Andrew , Anthony and Vislov. These were the 3 people I remember seeing before the accident. Meaning out of these three any 1 has to have the locker.

All 3 of them are tied up on a chair and still the locker is missing.

"Why don't you trust us? I told you the none of us know where the locker is kept. You have encounter Mr. Davis."

Mathew Davis. The name so familiar yet so distant. I remember no connections with him. The agreement was established with a company I don't remember. This man has to have a connection to it.

"I need their new and old professions, right now." Being the youngest espionage held me authority to command. Being a secret agent like my mother was something I always wanted to be. But to join the community at a very young age wasn't my plan.

Usually one isn't allowed to train with the professionals until a certain age but then comes in perks of having your uncle as a police and you mother being the best agent. It's not a crime, people will name it as using your power for wrong.

But trust me after watching your own parent's planned accident, the fire within you to give them justice doesn't dissolve until the goal is reached.

I was and am determined to find the person behind it.

Caleb comes back with their files and go through them again. There has to be something that would bring me closer to Davis. Upon reading their files for more than 5 times, inspecting each word and working for 2 hours approximately I finally have something.

"All these 3 worked at the same firm- Nuages. Why did this company close?"

"The firm would give opportunities for new interns. Due to some internal fuss the CEO closed the entire firm." Chris stopped for a while as if recalling something and continues, "The CEO. Rumors said he was involved with illegal links."

Illegal links? I can only point that maybe this Davis was the CEO. I entered the cell where the 3 men are tied up. Asking them nicely was an option. So I picked my blade and stormed towards Andrew, placing it on his neck, right on the nerve that decides his survival time.

"Right now you are just a burden on this planet earth so I wouldn't think twice before making a good cut here. Was Davis the CEO for the company you worked for?' he nodded yes.

"Where can I find him?" Due to the blade pressed in his skin his body shook from nervousness. I made an eye contact with his brother Anthony asking him to answer my question. In normal conditions he would have laughed off his pride and not answer 'a kid'. But not after I showed him what 'a kid' could do to his plastered face.

I wouldn't call myself cruel. It was revenge for destroying my happiness.

"He works at The Clouds Inc. You can get his address. I am sure he has kept the locker at his place."

Pushing the person I was standing next to I stormed out of the cell to the officer's room.

"I think we have a new lead." I say without acknowledging the other people in the room. Peter Sir, the in-charge of our department nods at me to come ahead. Walking towards his desk I am met with Mr. Kane. Shit!

To explain in brief- Mr. Kane is kind hearted person but sticks with rules and regulations. You see I haven't been the one follow rules.

"You are given this position on a special request. You very well know we are going against the rules to let a minor work with us. The stunt that you pulled few days ago and now in the cellar is not acceptable." 

"In my defen-" he cut me off in the middle. "We are not talking about your side of the story."

"If we need this conversion, I would like your co-operation. I am sure any person at my place would not work this efficiently as it isn't personal. To speak about me, I have no more motives than to find the locker and give justice to the department. I wouldn't think twice before risking my life for this unlike even you'll who thought about closing the case years ago. So I consider myself a perfect candidate for this job. Speaking about the job, I need information about Mr. Davis from The Clouds Inc. I have assigned myself a challenge to find the locker in 3 days."

My face shows no sign of fun or the sarcastic girl who messages Keith. I am determined to do it.

"You will the address and a search warrant tomorrow. I give time till evening to bring the good news." The happiness that I feel is just unexplainable due to Mr. Kane's words. The fact that he trusts me to bring him the information is enough of a confidence boost.
