Nick ignored what he saw thinking as his imagination because they all knew about Stephen. They have checked his track record before coming to that Unit in Wheatley. He was considered to be an honest man and was made a Manager of that unit despite considering the fact that it he was not associated with Stocks group from a long time. Generally, to get to the position he has been holding one must work in the Stocks group for atleast about Seven to Eight years, Whereas Stephen had joined Stocks group only three years back. He was sent there as a junior but as he was lucky enough to get up the ladder pretty soon. His track records were clean and he was considered to be polite with everyone. He was hardworking and had solved many cases single handedly. The only thing that appeared odd was the fact his seniors either took early retirement or died mysteriously. Zieve and his team weren't blind and they tried to figure out if he was linked to this development in any possible way. They thorough
Zieve's blunt response made Nick look back at him in surprise. For the first time he felt that their plan could be in danger as Zieve's behaviour could cause others to doubt them because he was acting like Zieve Stocks, the boss of the company not like the employee he was supposed to be. His behaviour was not in line with the post that has been mentioned on their identity cards considering the fact they were facing the Manager of that Unit. Under their current identities, they were junior to Stephen and despite the fact that they were sent from the Dark knight club in Toronto, they should behave, accordingly. Nick coughed a little to indicate Zieve to stop. Zieve didn't paid attention to him and continued with his work. Nick looked at Stephen who was looking at Zieve with a different expression, now. It was clear that he had begin to doubt Zieve's identity. Nick pulled Stephen's attention towards himself and distracted him from the current topic.By this time, Fuoco was back and all t
Fuoco fell into a deep thought as she looked at the man sitting in front of her. Sometimes she felt as if he hadn't changed at all in the past seven years and sometimes she feels she doesn't know him at all as if he is someone else. He had also gone through a lot following the Samrat family's tragedy and fuoco is thankful that atleast there is someone in this world who hadn't forgotten her and her family. His grey eyes still holds the power to comfort her. Sometimes, it was difficult for her to read them yet according to her, in the present times they were the most expressive part of him. He had rightly guessed that she was in a dilemma a moment ago, just like how he used to guess seven years ago. Seven years ago also he was the only friend of her who understood her more than her own self and seven years later too, he might not be able to recognise her but he was able to recognise that she was in a mental fight. Fuoco felt as if she was getting crushed under the weight of her own gui
Zieve stopped Fuoco from leaving and told her that he wanted to discuss something important. Fuoco had no option but to come back and take her seat. Once Fuoco had settled she asked him what was it that he wanted to discuss. Zieve informed her that he had sent Nick with Stephen to the evidence room to look at the evidence closely and note down the observations. He told her that he wanted Nick to have some time alone with Stephen so that he can try to dig out as much information as he could from him. Fuoco looked at Zieve and asked," You are having doubts on Stephen?"Zieve didn't replied to this question of hers directly but said," In our line of business, we cannot trust anyone except we ourselves. Nobody wants to break anybody's trust willingly..... its the circumstances that make them do so.... and circumstances can change any time. Maybe... Today someone who is loyal to me.... but tomorrow something may happen that would make him betray me. So, we need to be vigilant."Fuoco under
Zieve and Fuoco had understood by now that somebody had infiltrated in their company and now, they have to be cautious about every step of theirs. They had no idea whether someone was keeping an eye on them or not but if their doubts were true than every move of theirs is being watched. That's why, Zieve didn't opened what Fuoco gave him and kept in his pocket as if it was nothing. They cannot trust anyone and would have to look into even smallest details because sometimes its the small details that can lead to big information. Fuoco didn't ask Zieve anything as by now she had already understood what he was doing and why he was doing it. After Zieve put that paper in his pocket, he paid the bill and got up to leave. Fuoco followed him without asking any questions. Zieve told her that they were going to the evidence room where they would meet Stephen and Nick. According to Zieve, by now Nick would have got enough time to dig information from Stephen. He hoped that the doubt that he cr
Stephen grinned from ear to ear after seeing Fuoco and his eyes had a different kind of excitement in them. Fuoco also forced a small smile on her face so that he doesn't suspect anything. Zieve's expressions remained cold and indifferent as usual. Zieve asked Nick if he had taken a tour of the evidence room. Nick nodded his head in affirmation and told them that he had just finished his inspection if they wanted to go inside to have a look he would be happy to join them. Zieve dismissed him saying he trusted him and if he had already done the inspection there was no need for them to do it again. Fuoco also chimed in and said that she also believes there was no need for a second inspection if one of them had already done it. Stephen was glad to hear them and said that he had no problem with whatever they decide and he would be available whenever they would need him. Zieve thanked Stephen for his cooperation and said that he would definitely contact him if they would need his help. St
After leaving the campus of Stocks company at Wheatley, Zieve, Fuoco and Nick continued to walk towards the house where they were staying while an unknown man kept following them from a distance. He was wearing casual clothes but his face was not visible as he was wearing a black mask that covered the lower half of his face.He was wearing black goggles which covered the upper half of his face, so, it was very difficult to identify who was this man. Zieve had already told the two of them before coming on this mission that such a thing could happen upon their arrival to that site and what they have to do in such a situation. So, Nick and Fuoco were prepared in their minds. All that they were waiting was for Zieve's one sign to go ahead.They kept walking for sometime but they were walking very slowly. They wanted to confirm how many men were following them in total. Fortunately, there was only one man and as soon as they got confident that there were not more than one, Zieve showed the
Zieve and Nick changed their routes as soon as they got the confirmation that their stalker had gone after Fuoco. They swiftly came back on the same route that Fuoco had taken and spotted a masked man who was following Fuoco secretly. After getting confirmation that their target was right in front of them, Nick handed over a piece of cloth to Zieve. He had applied chloroform to it before giving it to Zieve. Zieve walked forward as stealthily as a cat without making any noise. His moves were so perfect that before that man could sense something wrong, Zieve was already standing behind him. As he tried to turn to look back and confirm his doubts, Zieve didn't gave him the opportunity to react and acted swiftly. He grabbed him from behind with his powerful hands and blocked his moves. Then, he pulled his mask down and placed that piece of cloth soaked in chloroform on his nose. That man struggled to free himself and tried to launch some kicks and punches towards him but Zieve dodged the
Stephen was clearly harbouring ill intentions towards Fuoco and now, he was showing it without fear. She was his hostage, now. There was no need for him to pretend to be a decent guy in front of Fuoco to impress her. As his truth was already out in front of her, he knew he had nothing to loose. He had been dreaming of having her since the day he saw her for the first time but he had to keep his feelings hidden because of Zieve and Nick. He was on cloud nine after kidnapping them and sending them there because he was dreaming of persuing Fuoco without any disturbance from the two of them. That's why, he was very happy when she approached him in the morning and he didn't suspect any of her moves. Little did he knew that Fuoco was much more than he expected. She acted as if she was just a showpiece and didn't possessed real knowledge. She hid her fighting skills so well and made him believe that she was no threat to him that's why he was angry and taken aback, when he saw her fighting wi
Fuoco's eyes become red with anger and she was looking at Stephen as if she would swallow him. She was not going to tolerate his insolence. She was waiting for one wrong move by him and that would be enough to take things under her control. Until then, she had to bear everything and keep her anger under control. Her face had also turned red because of anger and Stephen chuckled looking at how angry she was. He moved a bit closer and begin to move his gun that he had pointed at her head to her face. The Muzzle of his gun was sending chills through her body from where it was touching her soft skin. He moved it from her forehead to her cheeks and then.... touched her lips with it. Her plum red lips were looking very inviting to him and he was looking at them like a hungry wolf. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he could be seen trying his best to control himself. He teased her lips with the muzzle of his gun and Fuoco clenched her fingers so hard that her nails begin to dig into h
Fuoco was ignoring Stephen's eyes but she could feel his eyes traveling her body, which was making her blood boil. She controlled her anger but Stephen was not going to stop there. He begin to come closer and Fuoco begin to step backward. But, after two steps she could not move further as there was a wall behind her. She stood at her place and begin to wait for Stephen's next move. Stephen stopped just a few inches away from her. She could even feel his breath on herself. She clenched her hands into fists in anger but Stephen was still pointing the gun on her head, so, she couldn't act rashly. Soon, Stephen raised his hand and begin to move it towards her face. Fuoco turned red with anger."What are you doing?" she growled as Stephen reached out to tuck a loose hair behind her ear. She was taken aback. She was wondering what was going on in his evil head. Inside that room which was next to where Fuoco and Stephen were standing, Zieve's patience was giving off. He was thinking of break
Stephen ignored her demeanour and the look she was giving him while crushing those gadgets. Fuoco's eyes were clearly filled with the intent to kill. Once, she was done Stephen told her to go back to her place and stand with her hands up behind her head. Fuoco did as was told and went back to her place. She begin to wait for his next instruction but it never came. Instead, he kept standing in front of her with a gun in his hand pointed towards her. Stephen smirked when he saw Fuoco obeying his instructions obediently. He was staring at her and his eyes kept traveling from her head to her body till her toe. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he looked divided as if he was not being able to decide what he should do. Fuoco could feel goosebumps as Stephen's eyes travelled and scanned every inch of her body. She could feel him scanning her but she didn't looked back at him. She ignored him as if his presence was nothing to her. She was just thinking about how to snatch the gun from
Stephen and Fuoco were standing facing each other. Fuoco could now see his face clearly and confirm that he was Stephen. He stood in front of her with a gun at her forehead at a distance of point zero. She stopped in her tracks and stood at her place motionless. Stephen smirked wickedly at her reaction and begin to come closer. He stopped when his gun touched her forehead. Fuoco could feel the cold metal and an electricity ran through her body. Her sixth sense told her that this man was not going to be an easy one to tackle. She had no fear of her own life but it was just not her but her friends were there too whose lives she couldn't put at risk, so, she decided to play along. Stephen commanded her to raise her hands in the air. Fuoco did as was told and showed him her hands to confirm him that there wasn't any weapon with her that she was hiding. Stephen asked her to take off her jacket and put it aside. Fuoco was taken aback by this command but she didn't had any option other than
"You hid yourself so well... didn't you?" said that man in a familiar voice. Fuoco stopped struggling for a moment and tried to look back at that man but he tightened his hold on her neck to stop her from turning back to look at him. Fuoco begin to struggle as soon as his grip on her neck tightened because she was feeling difficulty in breathing. She was even trying to speak something but was not being able to because of the choking. Fuoco was very much capable of freeing herself but she wanted to play along as it was not her life alone but her friends lives too were at stake. Although, that man loosened his grip a little as soon as he saw her struggle for breathing. Fuoco begin to cough vigorously as soon as the grip around her neck was loosened. After a while, when her breathing returned to normal she spoke," What do you think i hid about myself, Mr. Stephen?" After listening to Fuoco's words, a wicked smile appeared on Stephen's face. Fuoco had recognised him by his voice, despite
Fuoco was held by someone from behind and a gun was placed against her forehead. Her sixth sense was telling her that someone was behind her but when she had looked back at that time she found no one. She decided to go and check it later after tying that man she had knocked unconscious and that was where she made the biggest mistake she shouldn't have done. If she had left that work in the middle and had gone to look around to check if her doubt was correct or not, it would not have happened. Now, she stood there feeling helpless because her one wrong move would have put her live as well as the lives of her friends in danger. She decided to stay calm and wait for the right opportunity to attack this unknown person and free herself. The way she was grabbed from behind and the amount of force that was used to do so, Fuoco guessed that this person who was helding her was a man and he was a little taller than her. She begin to wait for that person to speak so that she could identify, who
As soon as Fuoco realised that there was a possibility of involvement of any of those three old groups that his uncle had mentioned and she had forgotten about them, she decided to use this man fighting with her as the source of information to reach those masters behind him. She had by far identified the fighting techniques he was using and she was trained to tackle as well as defeat such an opponent by her Uncle Shera. So, without wasting much time she dodged his attack and did an overhead flip to jump towards his backside. Now, she was facing his back and before he could turn towards her or anticipate her next move, she used both of her hands to attack him. She aimed towards the right side of his neck and with her one hand attacked it with lightening speed while used her another hand to attack one specific place on her lower back. She had attacked specific points of his body with a specific goal in mind- to make him loose his consciousness. Her attack was so swift that the man in bl
Fuoco had recognised the fighting style of that man in black. Both of them were giving a tough fight to each other and now, that man had begin to slow down because he had used a lot of his energy. He had therefore received minor injuries following Fuoco's attack on him that he couldn't dodge timely. He was feeling weaker while Fuoco on the other hand didn't looked tired at all and this was because of her regular training and healthy diet. She was trained to keep fighting for long hours, without getting tired, by using moves that saved a lot of her energy. Her training was monitored by both her father and Uncle Shera since she begin training as a child. Luckily, despite being in coma for seven long years her body hadn't forgotten any of the training she received in her childhood before that uneventful night. As a result, she was able to make a come back in such a short span of time. Fuoco didn't seemed even a bit of flustered and was looking cool as if it was a game of children for he
