The S.I.E.V.E.

That was how Axel's career as a spy began, at the age of 26. After serving 13 years in the MI5, Axel had completed 19 successful missions.

Mrs. Shaw had been right, Axel had become a record breaker. He had broken the previous record of most successful missions, 17, which had been set by Henry Stones.

Mrs. Shaw on the other hand did not serve MI5 long enough to see Axel's success. Within 3 years of Axel's recruitment, she had resigned from her post and was replaced by a brown skinned man named Mr. James Affleck. Dr. Albert Browning, on the other hand, had retained his position

Now Axel was on his final mission, perhaps his most dangerous, before retirement. A mission to uncover the secrets of the villain organisation named S.I.E.V.E.

Present

An alarm blared next to Axel's ear, waking him up with a start. He got up from his bed and started to get ready. Fifteen minutes later he stepped outside his room.

A man with tattooed burly arms and an eye patch was standing in front of him. He grunted and motioned Axel to follow him.

After walking around many corners, twisting and turning they reached their destination. Again the stranger grunted in his deep voice motioning him to go into the room. Axel did as he was told.

It was a white tiled room with only a table and two chairs.

This looks just like an interrogation room.

On one of the chairs Mr. Alexander..., the man who had received Axel the day before, was seated. His attire was same as the day before. He spoke, "Have a seat Mr. Axel." Axel did as he was told.

Handing over a folder to Axel, Alexander spoke, "I will give you a brief introduction to our organisation, all the other information you require is given in this folder. Let's start. You might think this building is our main headquarters, because of its grandeur. But then you have been mistaken. Our main headquarter lies underwater at the place where the prime meridian intersects with the equator. Tomorrow you will be taken there for your training. Prepared to be blown back by the cutting edge technology you'll see there."

Axel was listening intently "Now let's get to our history. I am not going to bore you with all the details, just the important information you require. Our organization was founded by Vladimir Yurkov in 1911, just before the World War 1 began. Our headquarters were first at Verkhoyansk. We chose such a remote area we wanted to remain underground to recruit our members."

"When the World War started we shifted here, Paris. We served as a black market for weapons and material. Our name then was 'Noir Armes', literally meaning black weapons in French. We remained here till the end of the World War 2 making enormous profits."

"When peace returned we again shifted back to our original headquarters in Verkhoyansk, going back underground. Them at the turn of the century we built our underwater headquarters and shifted there. That headquarter is renovated each year to install the state-of-the-art defence system, weaponry, technology, etc. We also recruited a number of software engineers to put to effect an innovative way of recruiting."

He cleared his throat and continued, "We created a virus which spread through to almost all computers and electronic devices of the world through the internet. In most of the computers it acted like a normal virus, damaging the software. But when this virus reached our recruiting target's device it just forms a word file which was in fact our recruiting letter. This way nobody could have ever traced us down. This method became a hit and hundreds of new recruits poured in. We have became very active in the last decade. We have not only carried out many bombings but also we have supplied arms and materials to the major terrorist organizations of the world including Eye of the Triangle, ISIS and Al Qaeda. So technically we are the most powerful organization present. Our major attacks in the last decade include the bombings in Baghdad, Madrid and the serial train blasts in London, all done on contracts from different infamous figures from around the world."

Axel's heart stung when he heard the last name, the train blasts in London.

"We also supplied the hijacking material for the 9/11 crashes into the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. Till date all of our attacks have been done on contracts to get money. Think of us as the economic lifeline of the terrorist world, not just any other organization

bombing places just for fun."

Mr. Cook said the last sentence with a kind of a proud smirk on his face.

"Our motto appropriately is "Pecunia Potentia, which means money is power in Latin."

"And so your briefing is done. Tomorrow you'll have to wake up at 6am. Flight to the main headquarters leaves at 7:30. Off you go."

Axel returned to his room clenching his fists and angry, somehow keeping his rage under control.

They are the reason because of which the bombings in London took place. They are the reason for my parent's death. I will make them pay and they will never forget it, if they still exist in this world.
