My eyes stayed on Dom two minutes before I burst out laughing like it was the world's funniest joke. Needless to say, the rest of the squad either looked surprised, annoyed or confused.

"We are..are..legi-" And I slapped my knee almost rolling on the floor. "Th-that is so corny. Who are you all really? And that is your opening line? That?"

While I was wheezing like anything, the sounds of cricked chirping was all that was coming from the background. Nobody looked happy with the way I was making fun of them. Realising that I would have to probably work with them and that my life was still in their hands, laughing at their tag line didn't seem like a good decision.

I coughed a little before getting myself together and putting on a professional tone. "Sorry, sorry, jeez I was kidding. Chill guys."

"Haha" Dom deadpanned before he started walking away followed by Warren and the old lady. Wait, they never introduced me to her.

"Wait who's she again?" I asked Joe.

"She's the head manager of the place, Mrs George." Joe informed. Also giving me a small grin, Joe teased, "Nice start dumbo. We already hate you."

"Why doesn't she put on a mask though?"

"She says she's too old to put up with all this anonymity shit." He shrugged.

"So going to meet him now?" I asked as he gestured me to follow him and the others towards an elevator.

He nodded. "Yes."

"So why were you scaring so much if Dom wasn't the leader?"

He didn't say anything and continued walking. As we all got in the elevator, I stood there confused among all the giants, even Joe being the least of 5'8 probably excluding little Mrs. George ofcourse.

The elevator dinged and arrived at the destination. Suddenly they all got silent. The lady nodded at Joe and Warren and they both looked at me, signalling me to follow them. Dom was nowhere to be seen while the lady got back into the elevator and left.

There was nothing but just a corridor a door at the end. Nothing fancy; this floor looked too homely and normal than the rest of the estate. They both just took two steps towards the room and then Joe turned to me and said, "Go inside. He's there."

I rose my brow at them and then pushed my feet to advance towards the room. Opening the door, my eyes absorbed this huge place with nothing but a throne like chair in the center of it. Confused and yet cautious, I stepped closer till I was just a few feet away.

I could see the back of the chair and on the armrests were a pair of hands, tapping rhythmically. His fingers were wrapped with silver rings and his demeanor was cold. "Uh...Hi?" I called out.

"Come here." I slowly stepped ahead, walking towards him till I came in front of him.

When I stood in front of him, he looked just like everybody else. Masked. His fair was jet black, falling in curls over his forehead.. His body was clothed in a tight maroon suit, enhancing every part of him in a peculiar, intimidating glory. He had a dangerous vibe to him, like an invisible poisonous snake wrapped around his neck making him look scarier than he was. I knew he was the one. I just knew it.

I could see his smoky grey eyes scanning my body because his mask only covered a part of his mouth. I felt my body growing hot when he stood up and stalked slowly closed to me, in a predatory manner.

"So you are the one..." His gloved hand reached up to put a strand of my hair behind my ear. Roughly grasping my chin, he pulled my face closer to him. "You have a alluring face."

"Th-thanks?" Why the fuck was I stuttering when I literally roasted all his little puppets even hitting Dom multiple times?

His hand left my face. Straightening himself up, his frame became bigger and almost over powering. Why couldn't I fight him? What the hell?

"So, I assume you have already been told about our organization?"

I was so busy just staring at him that for a second I almost forgot he was asking me something. Coughing a little, I replied, "Not really, besides you are a organization called 'Anonymous' and your tagline is some childish, corny-"

Feeling his eyes grow intense, I bit my lip and stopped myself saying what I was about to. I was already in the bad books of the rest, I didn't want to one in his too. "Yes, that's it."

His hands went inside his pocket, and he looked like he was thinking for a while. "You are basically choosen for our mission. All you have to do is go in a disguise somewhere, get the data, return safely with it and hand it to us."

I narrowed my eyes. "That doesn't seem so easy."

"It is not." He stated in a matter-of-fact tone. "It is far from it. And that is why we have selected you."

That question was wandering in my mind since they kidnapped me. "Go ahead. Tell me."

He took a few steps back and then sat down back on his chair. Keeping his hands folded on his lap properly, he began explaining, "So, our organization does cyber attacks against big corporations who are involved in illegal, disgusting activities. We reveal their dirty secrets, shut down their nasty operations and save billions of people from getting their lives destroyed. Understood till this, yes?"

"You are good people that means?"

He shook his head. "No. That is just one part of our job. We also sell sensitive information of any person in the black market if the pay is good enough. We are responsible for the dark web's crybersecurity but at the same time."

I furriwedy brows. "But one way you reveal government secrets and then othe way you also protect the hub of illegal activities? That doesn't make any sense."

"You don't have to understand all this." He told which earned a huff of annoyance from me. "You just have to know that the mission you are part of is for a good cause."

I couldn't pin point why I was feeling so drowsy all of a sudden. It wasn't a surprise though considering I got kidnapped, was trapped for hours in some room, ran here and there, fought a man etc. I hadn't noticed it yet because of the heavy dose of adrenaline pumping in me but I was dead exhausted. My upper body felt too heavy for my now jelly legs to carry. I could collapse any second and yet I couldn't help but want to hear more about this mysterious group.

Maybe he had noticed how I was feeling because he stood up and picked me up bridal style. My body felt so tired that I didn't even bother to protest. So I laid limp and murmured, "Stop I am fine. I wanna hear more."

He started walking towards towards a different entrance than the one I walked in. "Shh, you are going to be with us for a long time now. Sleep tonight, get rest because from tomorrow your training will start."

"I am fine..." But his embrace felt comforting? My eyes were closing themselves and my body was relaxing in the hands of a completely of a stranger who played with people's lives.

As I was dropping into the state of slumber, I heard him say, "That night at the bar, two months ago, you looked stunning even while drinking." His voice took a dangerous notch down, and he continued, "Don't worry, your ex is gone. I can't let anyone live who dares to hurt you."
