One Mystery One Life

Chapter # 60 Chains

"couldn't find a better way to be romantic?" I couldn't help but say that to her with a bitter taste in my mouth. A loud creak turned my attention to the door and the same tall guy appeared. He's like shanks. Now that's his name. When he looked at us he kind 'a froze. I turned my attention back to the women-slash-girl and she seemed well- still taking notice. Ouch!

Her gaze travels from him to me and mine to his. My mind forms a few unstated threads in its jungle. "Can I get a second?" He asked and the girl sprawled out with him. I took a deep breath a got up and started dusting myself and then turned my gaze back to the food.

I lost my appetite, I thought and looked away. After a few minutes she came back and I had a blank face on. She looked at me and grinned. Now why's she here. I thought to myself.

"Bored?" She asked and I stared at her without showing a proper emotion. She grinned and came close to me again. Gosh! No. I don't have that much of energy. "You need to eat the food." She told me and picked up the plate. Spoon feeding.

When I was finished she took the plate and went out. I sighed and took a deep breath. Wish there was a window here. I yawned ad closed my eyes. I am real sleepy.

"It will be done as you say" I was obliged to follow every order the boss ever gave. I marched back and opened her chains and put on shorter and heavier ones. Oh! Am I finally going to do something real. But before that ugh! She remained silent surprisingly unlike other people who we have held captives. She walks boredom clearly written all over her face and the fact can't be denied that she has some difficulty in moving, partly because of the chains and partly because of the tonic that was given to her.

The location boss gave me was rare. I say that because I think that is where boss resides. That's because I had once been given a weird order before. The first order someone else gave me and it led me to that building. A guy of same rank as me who was supposed to deliver a message to me.

The next thing I knew I received a call from the boss to go away. " No! That's where-" He cut mid sentence and rephrased it. There are only two options that I take are valid. That there is a secret hidden there that could ruin him or himself. There is something.

After that when I was sure that I was off his radar... I researched a little bit. A cloth manufacturing company under the name of Marian Desmond co. Ltd. I have heard about it. Almost every piece in Hemingway comes from there. But the strange thing is that I have never seen a single factory. There was something fishy about it. After that I never saw the person who conveyed the order, except for a few times but they were different. Different in a way I couldn't tell.

It was like they were trying to give me a clue. They wanted me to see something and after that I started to see something. I stayed loyal to the 'sir's purpose. Just so that I could see it with my eyes. The day I get a hint. I would strike. I stayed away from the members and tried my best to avoid them so I don't get attached or even exposed.

It's easy to betray someone you don't love.

I investigated more than I needed to. When I said I wasn't permitted to hit her, I could say I wasn't permitted to ask her anything at all. Well! She did give me something worth it. He parent's occupation. That would be interesting.

I think I should start investigating her house. Before I get an order to destroy it or even light it on fire. But something tells me there will be more. She knew but was not sure. She knows something I don't something special.

I wish I get an order to kill her. I would keep this key with me until I find the lock. It could be said that I almost found the lock. The two of them and that recording that she gave me was worth something. I could tell.

Separate the younger sister.

It had said. That was a weird message. It could be for the Keizer Family.

I looked at the girl in front of me and sighed. She's my next target. I loaded her in to a van and drive. I have to do this in total secrecy. It would be a stress if she got out of hands. I wonder why is she not doing anything. What if she wants to get there and find out by herself or even give away the location of his hideout.

There's this suspense in this ride which is killing me. I watched her from the corner of my eye. She sits still without any movement. There was a little nervousness on her face otherwise nothing else. What will she do? She grinned and looked at me. I gave a grin back at her. Now how are you going to tell my emotion. I thought sarcastically. That grin was replaced by a smile.

Weird. Does she know what is going on? I thought. I am merely stuck in a dilemma. I next thing I know I am thinking about getting a flower. Break its petals and get my answer. She knows everything and she knows everything not.

Her smile got wider and it was too late for me to notice that her chains were no longer on her. I looked at her face and the next thing-
