Heartless

Chapter 5

At seven in the morning, Eren Yilmaz entered the police station, walking toward his office at the other end of the building. To get there, he needed to pass the interrogatory rooms at the first floor. One door was open, so he glanced inside to see if anything new was happening, and to his surprise, he found two agents sitting in front of a tinted glass, watching a young brunette curled on the chair and crying hysterically.

"What is this?" He asked the men. "What happened to her?"

"We don't know. Boss told us to watch her, so she won't flee."

"And how she would flee if she's closed in the room and her hand is handcuffed to the chair?" Eren rolled his eyes. "What is her name?"

"Eda Yildiz. She was brought here yesterday."

Eren looked through the glass again. He knew that after yesterday's incident in the Kumkapi district, resulting in two cold bodies of members of a local criminal group, someone was brought to the station and was supposed to be used as the new bait to take this small mafia organization down. He frowned, seeing it was a young, terrified girl.

Eren turned to the other side of the building to go to the boss's office. He hated that man since the day he started working here, but his goal was to take his place, so he didn't have another choice but suck up to him, which earned him the position of his right hand. One day, he will push Mehmet Osman from his throne and clean this department from all his people, implementing his own new rules. But that day was still yet to come.

"Is that crying girl your idea of a new recruit?" He said with a snort, entering the office of the head of the department, who was drinking his morning coffee, sitting behind the desk, looking very pleased with himself, as always.

"With the right training and guidance, she can be a great addition to our team." Mehmet shrugged, tossing a file toward Eren.

"And you judged it based on what? The attack at her?" He took the documents and started to read the reports and the new girl's personal information.

"She has great aim and keeps cold blood under pressure. She is fast and surprisingly strong, and her papers show she's not stupid. Good enough to take a shot."

"She should be under the witness protection program, not here."

"She refused the protection. You can find the copy in the attachment." Mehmed smirked, rocking on the chair.

"Without any pressure from you? I highly doubt it. Are you going to risk your head for the unknown?"

"I'm not risking anything, she does. Quick training, and she's going back in. If she proves herself, she can stay, if not..." Mehmed chuckled and smiled even wider. "She's already dead no matter what."

"What when she finds out she's not facing charges?" Eren raised his brows. He knew too well how his boss was recruiting agents, and he always disapproved of it, but he also knew the result was an agent committed for life.

"She will be already too deep to back off."

Eren nodded and turned his gaze back to the documents, reading about the girl's education and family, or rather the lack of it.

"Did you take her because she's an architecture student and got Bolat's internship?"

"She made a huge mistake not taking it, which led her straight here into our hands. I never saw someone with so much bad luck in so short a period of time as her."
