"No, first sister. How can I let you go alone?" Kizy said, immediately rejecting the
"Don't worry, second sister. I promise I'll protect myself. But I can't risk taking you along with me." Rose said sincerely.
"But first sist-" Kizy said but Rose cut her off.
"Second sister, I know you are worried about me, but I am similarly worried for Jason, Victor and Harry. I can't just keep standing here while they might be in some real problem. I will be back safely. I promise." Rose said and started walking out.
"First sister!" Kizy called.
Rose stopped and turned back, looking at Kizy. Kizy wanted to speak something, maybe stop her or something else, but she finally took a deep breath.
"Come back safely." Was the only thing Kizy said.
Rose nodded and left the room.
Kizy had wanted to accompany her, but she knew that with her poor skills, she would only be a burden in such situations. Weapons were her forte, but handfights were not her cup of tea.
Thus she sighed and sat on the bed, trying to call the three men one by one, praying that someone would pick her call soon.
A lady present on Kizy's floor saw Rose going out and made a call.
"Only she is present in her room. Her friend left." She informed the man on call.
"Is she alone now?" The man asked.
"Yeah." The lady replied.
"I think she is not that strong enough. Yesterday I felt her hands, those are not how the hands of a killer feel like. Keep guarding her. Make sure she is fully protected." The man replied and ended the call.
"Yes." The lady replied and the man ended the call.
On the other hand, it had been fifteen minutes, yet Rose didn't inform Kizy back.
Kizy decided to wait for five more minutes and call Rose. Meanwhile she had been trying to call these three men continuously one after another.
'Did something serious happen? Will they be in some trouble?' Kizy thought worriedly.
Finally she picked up her phone and was about to call Rose when she received a call from Jason.
Kizy immediately picked up the call.
"Where are you? Are you all fine? Did something happen?" Kizy asked instantly, without even waiting for Jason to speak.
"We all are fine. Just had a minor scene at this place. But we are heading towards your building." Jason said, a hint of happiness visible from hearing how scared Kizy was for him.
But what he didn't understand was that Kizy was worried for all of them. Because it had been more than forty minutes since they were supposed to come.
"Did you find the First sister?" Kizy asked.
"Why will we find her? She would be with you… wait. Did she leave the place?" Jason asked and Kizy immediately hung up on him, calling First sister instantly.
But this time it was the First sister whose phone was out of coverage. She tried calling her back two times before she received another call from Jason.
Kizy immediately recited the entire thing, telling how they tried calling all three of them and how the First sister left alone to search for them.
"Is she stupid? Didn't I warn you all to not leave on your own?" Jason asked, anger visible in his voice.
"I wanted to accompany her, but she said she would risk my life. And I knew I would be a burden. Thus I stayed back." Kizy said.
"At least you had some brain. Anyways, we are almost at your gate, come down, I will try calling Rose in the meantime." Jason said and ended the call.
Kozy quickly left the room, locking it properly before going down.
The lady who was watching her room instantly followed behind without being noticed.
Kizy met Jason, Victor and Harry near the gate.
"Did she pick the call?" Kizy asked, her voice sounding worried.
"Not yet." Jason said.
"I am trying to trace her phone, but she isn't visible anywhere nearby." Harry said from the side.
"Keep trying." Kizy said and sent messages to Rose, asking to text her as soon as she saw the message.
"Do you need any help?" The lady who had been following Kizy came to them, after the man from yesterday's dance had ordered her to help this team.
Jason saw her uniform, which was similar to those working here for the organisation. Plus he knew that they didn't understand this place much, so it would be better to ask for help.
"One of our team members is lost." Jason said.
"Male or female?" The lady asked, even though she had guessed that it would be the female who had left the room earlier.
"A female." Jason replied.
"Could you describe her appearance?" The lady asked and Jason turned towards Kizy as none of them had seen her attire for today.
"A.. a white gown with a golden mask. She is wearing golden heels and has tied her hair in a low bun. She is taller than me. She must have left the building twenty five minutes ago." Kizy described Rose's appearance.
"Just give me a minute." The lady said and made a call.
"A female is missing. Can you ask someone to check the CCTV?" The lady said on the call.
"Is it her friend who has left the room?' The man replied from the other side.
"Yes." The lady said.
"Give me other details, I am heading for the monitor room." The man said.
"She left almost twenty five minutes ago. Wearing a white gown, golden mask and heels. Almost 5.7 feet tall." The lady said looking at Kizy, who she guessed would be 5.4 feet tall, which was on point.
"Ok." The man said and the lady heard him recite the same thing again.
After a minute, she heard the man speak, but this wasn't what she had expected.
"Shit!" The man said, his always calm voice raising it's pitch for the first time in months.
