Hope of the Dying World

CHAPTER 86 - THE SECRET MISSION

"Look!" She showed him the notebook.

"W-What's that?"

"I don't know. I just saw that in your car when I'm searching for my bracelet." Ferran immediately took the notebook and opened every page. He seemed so shocked by what he found out. "What's inside uncle?" Blair was about to peek but Ferran immediately closed the notebook.

"This is only for policemen's work. You should go to bed and sleep." Ferran became serious and maybe... nervous? Blair was curious about the content of the notebook she had found but her uncle didn't allow her to know what it was all about.

It's eleven in the evening but Ferran is still up and one by one, he searches the names written in that notebook. Simon Ferran and Reevecus Asyl Leviste's names were also written in that notebook. Almost all the names of the people written are well-known and popular in the field of business.

They have illegal businesses and transactions that make them even more powerful. When Ferran reached the third to the last page of that notebook, there was the word 'BOSS' written but it had a big question mark. That means Reevecus is right. No one knows the real identity of that person they called 'Boss.'

When he reached the last page, the meaning of the BC Organization was written but unfortunately, the meaning of BC faded because of blood. There were also hints and clues to find where the organization's hideout is.

Ferran planned to go to that place on Friday afternoon. He needed to find out everything. This is the opportunity he is waiting for. He should not miss it anymore.

Classes were ongoing but Cally and her seatmate, Dylan Gabalfin, were outside the classroom playing ball. Their class had ended and Cally was waiting for her brother so she chose to play ball with Dylan.

"Dylan! Catch!" She threw the ball towards him but it slipped from his hand and rolled into the narrow alley behind the comfort room. Cally followed him and when they got the ball someone was coughing not so far from them. He looks like a man with a disease.

"Dylan, is he okay?" She whispered to him but he just shrugged his shoulders. Both of them got scared when the man started crawling towards them.

"H-Help... P-Please... Help m-me."

"Dylan! Let's go!" Cally got scared and pulled Dylan to get away from the man whose body is full of purple wounds and it looks disgusting.

"Sorry!" Dylan uttered to the man before they moved away.

As they were running, they did not notice the lady in the hallway and they bumped into her. "Solly, miss." Cally immediately apologized but the lady seemed irritated but when she recognized the child, she softened her face.

"It's okay." She smiled and tapped Cally's head. "Don't you remember me? I'm your aunt Maria. Your mom's best friend." Cally looks scared of the woman she doesn't even know.

"Dylan, let's go!" She glanced at the woman before running away from Maria.

Maria rolled her eyes and was about to go somewhere to find someone when she saw him crawling in the narrow alley where Cally and Dylan came from.

"Finally, I got you. Don't worry, I'll just end your suffering." She pointed the gun, with a silencer at the man and shot him straight to his head. Maria took her phone in her bag and called paid men. "Get the body here in the Elementary Building."

She walked as if nothing happened. It was as if she's used to killing people without feeling guilty.

It was Thursday morning and as usual, the station was busy again. Ferran and Sanchez were finishing some reports.

"Do you have anything to do tomorrow night?" Sanchez asked.

"Yes. Why?" Ferran asked while typing on his laptop. He did not tell Sanchez about his plan to get to the organization's hideout because he would definitely join him on this, especially that he knew about his special mission.

"Nothing," Sanchez answered and continued what he was doing.

When Ferran got home, Blair was cooking for their dinner. While He prepared the things he will use in his journey tomorrow. Like the gun, flashlight, military knife, rope, food, clothes, bottled water, etc.

"Blair, do you know where the first aid kit is?" Ferran asked.

"In my room, uncle."

"Okay."

Everything is in his black bag and before he zipped it, he put the notebook inside.

"Uncle! Dinner is ready. Let's eat."

They eat together. Blair cooked rice and fried chicken for dinner and after they finished eating, she cleaned the dishes.

"Blair, I'm not going home tomorrow. I have a mission. Maybe, I'm going home on Sunday."

"What exactly is your mission uncle?" She was curious all of a sudden.

"It's confidential. Go to bed. I'll just check if the doors and windows were locked." Ferran said and that is what he did.

Blair was lying on her bed but she couldn't sleep. It was as if something was really bothering her. When she looked at the side table, it's already 11:58 P.M. It was almost midnight but she was still awake. She sat on her bed and looked at her door.

'I can't sleep until I see the content of that notebook.' She said in her mind and silently went outside her room and opened his uncle's bedroom. The dim lights are still on in his room but Ferran seemed to sleep deeply and his not so loud snore can be heard in the bedroom.

She tried her best so as not to make any noise and her eyes wandered in every corner of his room and there, she saw the messy study table where photos and important files were scattered. She went to the table and saw the photos of familiar people that can be seen on televisions and names that can be heard on the radio. Even her brother's name, Reevecus Asyl Leviste, is there.

'What do my brother and dad have done that I should not know?' She let go of her brother's photo and looked around again. She noticed a black bag at the corner near the closet.

She looked at his uncle to check if he's still sleeping and then she proceeded to open the back. The first thing she saw was the red notebook. She immediately took and opened it and she saw the names of well-known people and their illegal transactions. Even her dad and brother's names were written there that made her heart broken.

'They do illegal transactions.' A tear fell on her cheek but she immediately wiped it and found more information in that notebook. Then she saw the name of the organization but it was faded.

She can't clearly see the letters but she tries her best to read them.

"B... BR... BRI... What?" She put her phone under the paper and she saw the exact word. "Brion. Brion?" She suddenly asked. It was as if she heard that word somewhere. "Brion."

She also tried to form the meaning of "C" in the BC Organization but that part of the paper was almost pierced. She opened the last page and saw some hints that would be a big help to find that organization that does illegal transactions.

"Blair?" She heard her uncle's sleepy voice. "Why are you sneaking in my room and--- hey!" He grabbed the notebook from her.

"Is that your mission, uncle? To find their hideout?"

"Tsk. I told you to not open this notebook. You're so hard-headed." Ferran shook his head and massaged the bridge of his nose.

"Can I come with you? I would help too."

"No."

"Uncle---"

"No."

"But---"

"Blair!" Ferran raised his voice and made Blair silent. He looked at her and she seemed shocked. "Sorry for shouting at you."

She didn't say anything and just sighed before leaving her uncle's bedroom.

"Listen," Blair whispered to Trestan. They are in the library because Blair wanted to talk to him about something. "My uncle will find the hideout of the enemy and I want to go with him but he does not want to."

"Because it's dangerous."
