chapter 31

"Boss, we didn't find any documents inside here. I heard he had the proof, and I am very certain he won't keep it here. It's either he has given it to the lawyer to submit, or he has a secret safe somewhere" Flying dragon, one of his guards reported.
"There's no way he would have given it to the lawyer, if so, that lawyer would have known who I was by then because my passport is attached to one of the documents. But he looked surprised and asked who I was and what I wanted. Remember that girl mistaking me for Mr Mc Millan which explains that he's expecting him" Mr Smith said.
"Yeah, that's true. Anyway, that aside, boss, what about the other assumption? How do we know if he has any for sure? I think this man knew what he was going into from the onset that he prepared himself. We couldn't even track his primary and secondary families' ' Flying dragon informed.
"That's because you all are incompetent! You stand before me and report so casually that you couldn't complete a simple task, you sit behind and watch other people capture him, he's the answer to it all!" Mr Smith scolded angrily.
"Sorry sir, I will make sure we find out every bit of information about his capture and get our hands on the documents before you will be implemented" Flying dragon said with a bow.
"Sorry for yourself, asshole! You had better be fast or I will personally send you off to your Maker! Get lost!!" He shouted angrily at him.
Flying dragon bowed slightly and turned to leave.
"Make preparations, we have a mission to complete tonight!" Mr Smith said to his retreating back.
"Sure sir" he mumbled an acceptance and was gone before he found him faulty again.

Sophia gazed at space. Everything looked blurry in her eyes, she thought she was losing her sight bit by bit until a hot tear fell on her wrist.
She looked down at it and ticked it off. She wanted to cry, but there was no shoulder to lean on while she poured her heart out. She wanted to talk to someone, but there was no one trustworthy, or good enough for her to confide in, so she could only cry silently.
Mrs Smith had taken them to her office and given them another mission. She also took them to the training ground and awarded them in front of so many people. She had given her two different ranks to the astonishment of the other assassinators.
If it were in different cases, today would have been her happiest day to be honoured so greatly above others that came before her.
Mrs Smith had said; "I promised you all that anyone who completes this mission without failure or leaked holes, I would reward the person. The secret reward is here, I had another kind of reward in mind until now."
"All of you, bow to Sophia because she just won the Special Assassin Award and she now has the right to visit the VIP sections of this organization without any form of restrictions. She is, from today onwards, the leader of the Special Assassins Team!"
There had been a roar, a standing ovation for her and claps from many of them. But she noticed many mumbling amongst themselves and sending her fake love.
She is now the envy of so many people. She also sympathizes with them because she just got special treatment while they are looked down upon. It doesn't sit well with them, but there's no way she would decline the offer.
The others that went to the mission with her were only commended greatly, but they looked unhappy. Was it her fault that favor found her? She debated with her mind.
Sophia knew she wasn't supposed to be shedding tears, even if she should, then it must be tears of joy and not of anguish and sorrow.
Mrs Smith had pinned two golden badges on her t-shirt. She also gave her an ID card that will save her from some other dangerous forces, she had said. Sophia wondered what sort of forces she referred to back there.
Time Will Tell��
She looked heavenwards and wished her parents would just appear from there, because she believes that they are upstairs with their Maker resting in peace, of course, they are good people��and they will tell her that they are proud of her and love her so dearly and would never depart from her but, she isn't doing such a good job.
If they are alive, they would never approve of her to do such a bloody job, they don't even let her wash plates, let alone do their laundry, she was their princess, she's afraid they would be disappointed in her for doing something they as good people would never advise her to do.
"Mom, Dad�� I hope you know I am doing this for you. I must kill that man for what he did to you and I promise to be the good girl you have always wanted me to be, your princess, afterwards" She murmured to herself.
She didn't notice Justin entering, when she found out someone had invaded her room without invitation, she tried to hide her face and wipe her tears to avoid cross questions, but it was too late, he already saw it.
"Sophia, what happened to you? Did anyone hit you or say something bad about you? Did that woman that said she's my mother scold you?" He asked worriedly and went closer to hold her.
"You shouldn't be here. What are you doing here?" She queried and moved away from him. The last thing she wants is sympathy, especially from this guy that contributed to her pain.
"I asked you first if anyone bullied you, what happened to you? Please, tell me and stop avoiding me, it's not like I will bite you" He commented sadly and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
