chapter 37

***
There's nothing computer scientists cannot do, so it is now very easy for the law to trace someone with just their first name, thanks to technology. So let me start with Alex, your code name is Tyrant. Sophia is Shadow, Xena is Needle, Stella is Coin, Celina is Cat, Gena is Blade and Skyler is Pet" She finished and glanced at their confused faces and nodded, that is the reaction she expected.
"Now, in the absence of questions, I will call you by your code name and you will stand, when I am done, you can go back to the training ground, but Sophia has to stay back to make more copies of this booklet" she hesitated.
She called their code names, they were able to recall the names given to them and they stood according to the order of their names when she was done, they saluted and matched out. Sophia took the booklet from her and left too.

Flying dragon met him drinking alcohol instead of eating the food he had ordered. It's been almost five hours since he has been like that, drinking whiskey and tapping his foot on the floor, he doesn't need to be told that he's angry. What happened earlier is obviously vexing him so much.
"All this is happening because I have a bunch of fools as workers, what do I pay you guys for, to just mope around and at the end expect payment, right?!" He yelled at Flying dragon when he noticed his presence.
"Sorry, boss. We are��" Flying dragon fretted.
"Bull shit! That's all you know how to say, sorry my ass! Is sorry going to make researches and gun all our enemies down? Is it possibly going to run a quick background check on that man and know who exactly he is? Answer me, is it?!" He howled and threw the bottle of whiskey away.
"We are working on it, but he seems to have a hidden identity and we figured he must be an underground investigator and��"
"That's all balderdash! Is that tiny information enough to catch him? Is it? You know what? I will hire new workers, you all are sacked! What insolence!" He shouted.
"Please, boss, I promise to bring you better information as soon as possible. It's all my fault" Flying dragon promised and went down on his knees.
"Get lost!" Mr Smith kicked the table and went upstairs to his room ignoring the kneeling guy.
Flying dragon stood up angrily and went to the computer lab to yell at the other Junior workers operating the computer in the underground basement.
"What's keeping you all so long to get the details of that man!"
"Why are you shouting at us? How do you expect us to make researches about a man we know absolutely nothing about? You didn't even give us a first name or a description of how the man looks!" Van Gogh, one of the junior colleagues hissed.
"And you all claim to be experts!" Flying dragon bolted.
"It is not time to yell and quarrel. We have to make physical enquiries and get to know at least one thing about that guy before we use the computer, typing random names and workplaces won't help us here" Lee, a Korean guy suggested.
"Then, we should get started�� Why haven't any of you thought about this before? Mr Smith is very angry and has threatened us with our jobs and you know how important this job is to us, I mean, where would you find any work that will pay you handsomely like this very one. So let's get down to business" Flying dragon bossed.
Lee brought out the guns and gave to all of them, "let's go!"

Justin watched the doctor leave before he removed the drip wires he fixed on his hand and stood up to leave.
"Sir, I don't think you are fit to leave your bed, you shouldn't have been removed��" Monique, an old nurse the doctor assigned to stay back and take care of him was saying and she was cut short.
"Are you going to bounce off my way or should I show you how?" He pointed a warning finger at her and the woman frantically stepped aside. "Good"
He left and went in search of Sophia. He looked inside her room and she wasn't there. He went outside and ended up in the training ground. All eyes were on him and they all, especially the girls lost focus as they stared at the handsome dude.
"Oh my God! He came out today!!" Someone cried out and they all went to have a closer look at him, some of them tried to touch his curly hair, some tapped his arm��
He didn't seem to mind them, his eyes searched around for the queen of his heart.
"Hello, dear. It is a good thing you decided to come out and see the sunlight today, it is so nice to have you come check up on me" Stella came forward and grabbed his arm possessively.
"Yeah, what is your name again?" He asked absentmindedly.
"Stella," she replied, fighting back her anger.
"Stella, did you happen to know where I might find Sophia, I have been looking all over for her?" He shocked everyone.
Giggles, mockery, mumbles and laughter filled the training field. The head trainers already got angry and left to report to the boss. Who does that? Ask a girl her name just to question her about another girl, highest order of insult.
"Oh, Sophia. I knew you would be looking for her, come, let me go show you where she is" Stella tried to save her face from the others, she feigned knowledge of his actions and took him away.
An idea came into her mind immediately, she has to put to use her tiny brain, what she, Gena and the other girls had planned to do will have to wait. If this particular one doesn't work, then it's a pity she will have to tell them to make it fast. Setting Sophia up will be a great thing!
