Chapter 4 - Where are you Pt. 1

Taking advantage of the opportunity Ying Yue escaped from the devilish man before her. While he thought she had completely ran away, she was perched on top of the roof watching him from above. She was curious as to what he was here for and what he was going to do next.

"You have three hours to find the girl we met tonight. I want everything on her from her name to why she was here tonight."

Ying Yue smirked, 'we'll see if you find anything.'

Abandoning her position on the roof she hopped to the next building and climbed down to the familiar dirt path. Picking up her pace she walked confidently through the maze of streets till she arrived at a small broken home. The house seemed empty, broken boards, broken window, no lights. Ensuring no one was behind her, she walked towards to the corner of the house where a small tree was perched. To a normal eye it would be just a tree but to her it was the secret passageway into her base. The tree itself was modified to scan both fingerprint and eyes before you could even get to the next security measure. To reveal the entrance you needed to know the password - a five movement sequence you had to press into the tree to verify. Quickly moving her hand in a calm but calculated way, the floor next to the tree dropped down revealing a set of downward stairs.

As soon as she entered, the entrance behind her closed leaving her in a dark tunnel with only small blue lights to lead her. This tunnel ran 6ft deep and at the end it opened into a huge room filled with computers and weapons.

"Ying er!" Hearing her name, she glanced at the small mousey girl who called out to her. She was petite with glasses too big for her face but underneath them hid a calculative gaze. Ming Mingzhu her best friend and long-time accomplice in running her secret operation.

"Ming Ming."

"Hmph, don't call me Ming Ming - you know I hate that name!" She childishly crossed her hands at the nickname. Her parents did her no favour and just named her Mingzhu when her last name was already Ming!! How could they do this to her!!

"Haha, its cute. Let it go can't change your name anyways." Smiling at her best friend's antics she regained some warmth in her face. For people outside she was cold and aloof but here she was always a bit nicer.

"Neo," she called out to the quiet man who was furiously typing away on a computer. His real name was Wang Fang but ever since he watched the Matrix, he refused to respond to anything other than Neo.

The man in question glanced up at her keeping his fingers on the keyboard.

"I need you to find the cctv on 4th and 9th street and delete it. Now."

With that, the man went back to his work. Elegant fingers quickly pulling up the data she asked and deleted it within thirty seconds. To avoid suspicion he even added a filler to cover up for the portion he just deleted.

"Done, but why did you want it deleted. Did you kill someone?"

" Jiang Ying Yue! I told you, you just can't keep killing people without me that's not fair." Mingzhu whined, she wanted to join hmph hmph.

"I didn't kill anyone...yet."

"Then why is it deleted?"

Sighing she recounted the man she met that night. Leaving out the parts where she reacted to his to of course.

"Ooh he sounds delicious. Could our Ying Yue finally be experiencing spring(1)."

"Shut up. He was insane, I'm sure we'll never meet again."

"Doubt that, someone just hacked the cctv and the cctv's surrounding the area. Think he's determined to find you."
