Next morning, Anna left for New York by 6 AM. The chopper landed on the terrace of her main office building. There were different buildings for different departments – Managing department, design building, marketing department, etc.
Anna went to the 76th floor of the main building where her office was. The main building had 80 floors. “Ma’am, we got an invitation from Mr. King for a party”, Lucy informed.
“What’s going on in his devilish childish mind?! I really wanna kill that man”, Anna murmured. “Tell Mr. King that I’m busy”, Anna said and walked into her office. Lucy bowed and walked out.
All of a sudden, her mobile started ringing. Anna rolled her eyes looking at the name and picked up lazily. “What?”, she asked in a bored tone. “Why did you reject my invitation?”, an upset voice came.
“Mr. Ryan King, you want me to go out and reveal to everyone that I’m the owner of this big company named Jane Technological Groups?”, Anna asked in an annoyed tone. “When did I say that you have to reveal your identity?”, he asked.
“Then with what identity will I come? Queen of underworld? Or your concubine?”, Anna asked and read the document in her hand. “Come as my fiancee”, he said. “Shut up”, Anna yelled.
“Ok, sorry. I was kidding. Come as my friend”, he said. “Not interested”, she said in a bored tone. “My friend’s friend?”, he asked hesitantly. “Nope”, she said and continued with her work.
He kept giving her options and she kept declining. “How about your sister?”, she asked suddenly. “Everyone knows I don’t have a sister”, he smirked while saying. “Godsister”, Anna suggested.
“No way. You’re not my sister. I’ll never take you as my sister even if I have to die I’ll never take you as my sister. Never ever”, he started shouting. Anna had to keep the phone a bit away from her ear hearing his yelling.
“Stop shouting”, Anna said in a pissed tone. “You’re coming, right?”, he asked in a calm tone. “No”, she answered. “Then I’ll cancel the party”, he said simply. “What? Because I’m not coming you will cancel the party? What about the people who got the invitation?”, Anna asked curiously.
“You were the only person whom I sent the invitation. Since you didn’t agree what’s the point of keeping this party?!”, he said while he stared at her photo on his laptop screen and smiled. It was candid picture he took in France while she was smiling and talking to her uncle.
“You’re indeed childish”, Anna said and sighed. “So what….”, Anna cut him off as she was getting a call. “Yes, Ariana?”, Anna answered the call.
Ariana is one of her gang member, 23 year old. A trust worthy girl of the gang. She handles the intelligence department of the gang and all secret things.
“Queen, its urgent. Base 2”, Ariana said. “I’ll be there”, Anna said and hung up. “Ryan…”, before she could explain he spoke. “We need to go”, he said. “Hmm”, Anna said and hung the call.
Anna took her car and drove to Base 2. As she reached, one more car stopped beside hers and Ryan got down. He had a serious look on his face unlike everytime they met and he had a playful look.
He gave a slight nod and she did the same. The two of them entered the base. “What happened here?”, Ryan asked as they reached in. “Roi, some unknown people attacked us”, Edger, Ryan’s right hand said.
“And you guys fucking watched it?”, Anna yelled. “Reine, the attack was sudden and we suspect that someone from our team is involved as everything was well planned”, Edger explained.
Anna frowned and looked at Ryan. “Find out the traitor”, Ryan said. Edger nodded. “Who could it be?”, Anna asked looking at Ryan. “Whoever it is, we’ll find it out”, Ryan said in a cold tone.
“I need to see the recordings”, Anna said and stepped to walk away but Ryan pulled her and hugged her. A bullet passed just from the place where Anna was. Ryan took out his gun and shot in the direction from where the bullet came.
A man fell down on the ground. “You okay?”, Ryan asked looking at Anna. Anna pulled back and nodded. “Thanks”, she said and turned to the man. “We have to find it out”, Ryan said coldly.
Anna and Ryan went to the intelligence department which was in the headquarters on the 30th floor. Anna sat on the chair in front of many laptops along with Ryan. She was continuously typing.
“Look, there’s someone who was meeting”, Ariana said suddenly. Anna stopped the recording and zoomed it. “The man’s face is not visible. Even the person’s face is covered”, Anna said.
“I need everyone’s mobile phone here. No one will contact or message anyone”, Ryan ordered. “Yes, Roi”, everyone said in unison. “I want you all to be more careful. Increase the security of the HQ. I don’t want any recklessness”, Anna ordered coldly.
Everyone nodded. “No one except the main team is allowed on this floor and above. Everyone has to go through the face and handprint scanning. Even me and the King”, Anna said and looked at Ryan who gave a nod.
“They’re definitely behind you and me. Since they don’t know your face, it’s good because you’re safe”, Ryan said as they sat on the couch in their office. “But they know you. You’ve to be more careful”, Anna said worriedly.
“Are you worried about me?”, Ryan asked cheerfully. “Worried for you? In your dreams”, Anna rolled her eyes. Ryan kept his hand on the left of his chest and acted to be hurt. “You’re so ruthless, Queen. You don’t care about the King at all.”
Anna chuckled at his childishness. “Ryan, I’m serious. You’ve to be more careful from now on”, Anna said in a serious tone. Ryan cleared his throat and came back to his serious mode and obediently nodded.
Anna sat quietly on the chair. That Mr. Greenberg was definitely related to this person who’s the mastermind. I’m sure he has more small characters in this game. Who are they? And how many? Anna thought hard.
“Ryan, we made a mistake”, Anna said looking at him. He gave a confused look. “You remember that Mr. Greenberg who was involved in blocking our way?”, she asked and he nodded.
“What did he say to you?”, Anna asked and sat beside him. “When I asked him about his boss, he said that he can’t say. I even gave him many offers and even money but still he denied. He said that if he stays alive then too he will he killed and many more like him will come”, Ryan said.
“There you got it. He said that many more like him will come that means that there are many more pawns and one is from our gang. We have to find every pawn to get to that man or woman”, Anna said.
“How?”, Ryan asked. “That’s what we don’t know and have to find out”, Anna said in a very serious tone. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Ariana entered the office.
“Roi. Reine”, she bowed at them. “Did you get a lead?”, Anna was the first one to ask. “No, Reine but I found something. Everytime something happened, the person involved was killed either by us or…”
“Or by the boss. Mr. Greenberg was also one of them. These are just small pieces of the puzzle. Not so important. We need a big lead. We can’t let it go so easily. Since two months, our works are being blocked”, Anna said thinking of all the possibilities but nothing was suspicious.
“Call the team here”, Ryan said coldly. Anna looked at him in confusion. “We need to keep a good eye on everyone. Ariana, I want you to be more attentive to everyone”, he said. Ariana nodded.
“The war is to begin soon. We have to be ready. This is not a small attack”, Ryan and Anna said together.
Anna and Ryan went to the restaurant where she met Mr. Greenberg to do the checking with Ryan but in vain. Nothing was found. Anna and Ryan were disappointed.
Anna walked out and bumped into someone. “Sorry”, she said quickly. Ryan held her so that she won’t fall. Anna looked up at the man and stiffened. The man looked at her and stared into her eyes.
“Anna”, the man called out. Anna pulled back from her daze and said in a cold tone, “I’m not Anna. You must have mistaken.” She pulled herself from Ryan’s grip and walked out.
