Detective Ariana.

Chapter 5

Warning!!!: VERY LONG CHAPTER.

Damien's POV

30 minutes ago, I was in my Rolls-Royce with Carter, my driver pulling into a dark alley about half a mile from the AID complex. (So in case you don't know, AID stands for Administrative Istorian Department. It's the primary office of most offices and organisations in Istoria) I thanked him and started walking toward the IPD department, I was even talking to myself when I reached the entrance.

"This place is as wonderful as I remember" I said to myself as a random lady walked up to me.

"You know, you are very handsome for someone who's coming to negotiate, I'll give you that" She whispered.

'Who does this lady think she is? She's obviously in the wrong place and out of her mind but I will just be polite to her'

"Oh, why thanks for the compliment, in fact, I have a few things to say about you too. Firstly, how did you know I came to negotiate?"

"That's easy. Your behaviour, your posture, and the air around you"

"The air?"

"Yes, the air around you carries a lot of business vibes and a hint of mystique"

"That's an interesting observation"

"Yes, I know, I've been told that a lot. What do you say we go for a detour and I get to know you better?" She said as she batted her eyelashes.

"But wouldn't that ruin my mystique?"

"Well, I heard it's worth the risk"

'I seriously can't handle any more of this lady and her phoney-baloney British accent'

"I am sure that would be delightful, but I have to decline" I said with a serious face.

"Oh! Why so?"

'Let me just get rid of her once and for all, all the handsome guys this lady lays eyes on will owe me gratitude'

"Sorry to burst your bubble but I'm not interested. You see, there's this thing called reality and there's another thing called fantasy. Right now, you're in a fantasy world and unless you snap out of it, your reality will be gone and you won't have a purpose in life again. You need to get back to reality and stop chasing after every guy you find handsome because they have goals in life, as in actual goals"

I was about to walk off when I added;

"And you're wrong. I'm not here for a negotiation neither for business. I'm here for my goals, goals that are real unlike yours. Play the right cards and you might actually find a good guy."

I walked away and saw a lady in a pink gown at the entrance. She looked like a confident and happy-go-lucky girl.

Now that's an appropriate lady unlike the abomination I just met.

30 minutes ago, I was a man ready to work at a beneficial organisation, achieve his goals, and leave my worries behind but now, one of those worries has come back with a plan to execute me.

I snapped back to life hearing Ariana whispering to me, calling me before saying;

"I see you have come back to your senses, we were probably drugged with chloroform and dragged to this very unusual room."

I then became aware of my surroundings.

This was probably one of the old archives of the organisation.

"By the way, Who did you say these guys were again?"

"These are the Silent Shadows and trust me, you do not want to get on these ladies' bad side"
