Azize (Unfinished)

Okan's Death

It's been a few weeks since Adem shot & killed Okan. None of the Alpan's nor Yigit & Azize were aware of his murder. It had been some time since they last spoke to him, and their curiosity begins to overwhelm their conscience. A policeman is busy, but eventually has available time on their hands; especially for family. However, no contact was being made. Phone calls leading straight to voicemail, text messages being delivered & unopened. This was completely out of the ordinary for Okan.

Yigit: "Sister, I think Okan would at least call by now."

Azize: "I don't know what's going on brother, I will find out for you. Ok?"

Yigit nods his head still having feelings of uncertainty about the situation. The very last person in their lives they cared about was missing. Azize leaves Yigit's room to meet Kartal on the couch. She looks at him with a saddened expression, thinking of the absolute worst may have happened. Azize begins to talk quietly in order to avoid Yigit hearing the conversation:

Azize: "Kartal, it's been a while since we've heard from Okan. Yigit is getting worried."

Kartal: "Maybe he's busy with work? I'm sure it's nothing."

Azize: "But it's not like him. He usually sends a message or at least calls."

Kartal furrows his brows in confusion.

Kartal: "Ok Azize, I'll look into it."

Azize: "Thank you, for everything."

Kartal: "You really need to stop thanking me."

Azize: "But you do so much for me, & you reunited me with Yigit. How can I not thank you?!"

Kartal smirks at the compliment.

Kartal: "Ok my beauty, let's figure this out."

Azize blushes, as she unexpected to hear a compliment like that from Kartal. She quickly brushes it off & changes the subject back to figure out what's happening with Okan.

Azize: "Ok so how are we going to do this? Do we track him through his phone?"

Kartal: "I will let Yaman know about it & do some research. I have some other sources on finding people."

Azize: "What kind of sources?"

Kartal: "It's a secret. Anyways, what matters is to find him. Right?"

Azize: "Ok, you're right."

Kartal nods his head in agreement, while constructing some ideas as to where the missing officer might be.

In the Barbaros house, Kuzey still resides momentarily next to his grandfather. It has been nearly a day since Yigit left, and Barbaros has yet to realize the asset he just lost. Out of emerging curiosity, he calls Adem to check on the injured boxer.

Barbaros: "Adem!"

Adem: "Go ahead Mr.Barbaros"

Barbaros: "Go upstairs & check on my lion. See if he needs anything."

Adem: "Yes sir, right away."

Barbaros nods his head & Adem rushes upstairs. As he walks in to the room, he's expecting to see an injured Yigit on the bed. To his surprise, the bed was empty. Adem rushes back downstairs to let Barbaros know he is now missing. How could Yigit walk out without having the ability to do so? It was nearly impossible; which means he had help.

Adem's look of confusion puzzled Barbaros, raising some concern. By that moment, he knew something was off, and went upstairs himself to confirm. His suspicions were correct. Yigit was no longer in his hands. As he realizes this, he was fueled with anger. Without knowing what happened to Azize's brother, he knew that she and Kartal had something to do with it. A man who separates siblings will have difficulty; once they find each other, they will never be apart. That is what Barbaros had attempted to do. He no longer had leverage against Azize or the Alpans, which only weakened him. He had plans in place to take over the underworld, possibly wanting a hit man by his side. However, that was no longer possible. Yigit's location would not be revealed to the man who kidnapped him to begin with, & rightfully so. Barbaros did not have Yigit in his clutches, but he did murder Okan. Now it is only a matter of time before that is discovered.
