Eyes On You: Book-2 [A Mycroft Holmes Fanfiction]

Chapter 12- As Fragile as a Brick Wall

A middle-aged thinly built man enters the British embassy. He stands in line for the security check. At his turn he walks through the metal detector and stands in front of the guard, stretching out his arms for a security check. The guard manoeuvres the hand-held metal detector around his body then asks him to empty his pocket. As told the man empties his pocket showing a few money bills and a handkerchief. 'Okay proceed' the guard mutters letting the man enter the embassy.

The thinly built man walks into the embassy with a passport, a few documents and forms in hand. He stares at the British embassy symbol for a moment, then walks to a belt barriered area. He reads the sign in front of the barrier that reads 'RESTRICTED AREA. AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY'. He retracts the clasp, opening the barrier, catching the attention of the guards that stand with the British Ambassador Blackwood as he converses with his subordinates. As guards rush to the man, he stares at a nearby security camera. As the guards instruct him to go back and stand in line, explaining that the area was for staff only, he drops his documents on the floor and continues to stare at the security camera as he takes off his suit jacket.

An armed guard approaches closer and the unarmed man takes a fighting stance before sending the guard flying across the embassy lobby. The man fights of each and every security guard charging at him, sending them and their batons flying. Several armed British soldiers come running into the lobby with guns blazing. As an armed guard charges at him with a gun the man throws a belt barrier at him and disarms him. Taking the gun from the fallen officer, he mercilessly fires it, killing Ambassador Blackwood and several soldiers.

In a bedroom in the Rathore Manor, Mycroft is on a video conference with Lady Smallwood and Sir Edwin, who are in the Cabinet office in London.

'One man, unarmed, took down all the armed British Soldiers in the embassy and killed the British Ambassador' an agent explains to the three officials.

'Any leads on who he was, is the Indian government going to take responsibility for this?' Lady Smallwood asked.

'The Indian government says that this man doesn't exist in their records, even his passport was a fake. They have given an official statement that they had nothing to do with this attack but they will provide the British government with their full support to get to the bottom of this' Sir Edwin informed.

'Alright. Play the video again'. The agent did as he was told.

Mycroft focussed on the video. 'Pause' Mycroft instructed, 'Zoom in on his neck. Now the hand. Focus on the ring on his finger' Mycroft recognizes the ring on the assassin's hand instantly, and the symbol on it. It was the same ring the assassins that attacked his house wore. 'The ring on his finger and the tattoo on his neck have the same symbol...' Mycroft begins to explain but is cut off by the agent.

'I was getting to that, sir. This is our only clue. This is the symbol of Eye. We didn't know anything about this eye tattoo but this is where the Indian Government helped us. Eye, that's the only name he goes by. International drug mafia. He doesn't deal in drugs like heroin, or cocaine, he is a mad genius. He makes and invents new drugs. Inventing new performance enhancers that can give a man superhuman strength, and selling them to terrorist organisations. Drugs are not the only thing this man deals in. He has sensitive information against major policymakers of this world, using it to control governments and manipulate policies. He sees everything. That is why EYE. We didn't have any records of his existence in our database but the Indian government did. 8 years ago, they sent a team of agents to track him down and destroy his network. The mission was led by two of their best agents, Field Commander Tej Sareen and his wife, a RAW data analyst Major Nayantara Singh Rathore as his technical support'
