Something about the atmosphere between Mairaaj and Noor had changed.

Noor smiled more- so much that even her colleagues noticed. But when Noor wasn't thinking about Mairaaj, she was thinking about how she was going to come clean to him. The more she delayed it, the more it made everything complicated.

Part of her scolde6d herself for giving into her feelings and kissing Mairaaj because that just made everything more intertwined.

She had to do it tonight. Using her burner phone, she texted Mairaaj annonymously.

Annonymous (Noor) :
Come to your warehouse at 12 am if you want the evidence against Moeen Khan.

Mairaaj:
What makes you think I won't betray you and kill you the moment you step into my warehouse.

Annonymous:
You won't if you want the evidence against his trafficking. Come alone.

Then, she took the sim card out and broke it and discarded the phone in case, Mairaaj had it tracked.
After her duty, the dreaded 8pm had arrived. Noor didn't know what was going to happen. It had been quite some time since Noor and Mairaaj had gotten close and were comfortable around each other so Noor had no idea how he was going to take this news.

Still, she drove all the way to the library, scooping her surroundings just in case Moeen's men had been following her.

She dressed up as The Reaper, hiding every last detail that would reveal her as a woman. Noor got on her bike, even with all those layers of clothes, Noor was enormously tiny as compared to her monsterous heavy bike.

She brought the engine into ignition and drove away. Her back bent forward  as her attention was completely towards the road.

Reaching a block away from the apparently abandoned warehouse, Noor got off the bike. The dark night seemed even dark through the helmet on her head. She pulled out a dagger out of her pocket, sighing briefly,"Hopefully, I won't have to use it." she said to herself. She activated the voice changing mic implanted in her helmet.

She pulled out her phone and a notification waited for her. Looking at the notification, her heart dropped even further into the pit of her stomach as she read the text,

"I'll be a little late today. Make sure to eat properly." said Mairaaj

Another tug at her heart, but she couldn't back down. She slowly walked towards the warehouse, her senses tingling as if somebody was watching her. She knew there was no way Mairaaj was going to let this moment go without making sure The Reaper had no chance to escape. He probably has men stationed outside who are letting him know that the prey has arrived right this very moment, but Noor knew one thing, Mairaar might hurt The Reaper but never Noor.

She walked inside the rather empty looking warehouse. The path exteneded to a long dark hallway that led to the main room. Noor walked straight instead of taking the flight of stairs like last time. She walked straight into the large supply room, it was more like huge ball room. The only light was coming from the glass windows. The night was quite dark but it wasn't dark in the room, a rather theatrical and dramatic light illuminated the room.

Noor walked in but there was nobody but she knew she wasn't alone.
A big thumping noise erupted from the end of the hallway and the only exit, the front door closed.
A bunch of men holding steel bats came into the light like shadows hidden in the dark.

"I have no intention of fighting any one of you. Call your boss outside." A male voice that belonged to Noor altered by the mic came out.

The men pounced upon her and she had no other choice but to fight back. initially, she tried to miss their attacks as much as possible but they were rounding up on her and even under layers of cloths, she was still physically smaller than the men.
She hit one man in the nose and as he stumbled to the ground, she picked up his bat and hit the others.
Her moves were sharp and sophisticated as she hit the men with just a single blow to the head and they crumbled to the ground like dominos. One of the large men attacked her from the back as he easily lifted her off the ground while another man tried hitting her but Noor took the oppurtunity and interwined her legs around the man's neck twisting it with no problem, the man fell to the ground and she held the other large man in a choke hold. The man lifted her off the ground and threw her across the room.
Noor fell with a wimper that escaped her lips. The man aggressively walked towards her and Noor tried getting herself up. He held her leg and tried dragging her across the floor but Noor kicked his hand with her free leg causing him stumble back. As he ran towards her again, Noor gathered every last bit of energy in herself and punched him in the face. The man fell to the ground as Noor tried stablizing her wobbly legs. The lack of practise has made her weak.
