Dr. Zen's POV
It's literally 4 am now in the morning and the finalizing of the plan is almost done. I took some important files that needs to be signed by mr. Keir then I can finally get some rest for a bit. I walked towards his office with the files in my hand. I gently knocked the door and asked permission to go inside the office. "Sir? It's me Dr. Zen, I've brought the files that needs to be signed and some are waiting for your approval?" I spoke in a clear and gentle to not offend my boss.
"You may come in" I heard him say from the other side. I gently opened the door and bowed a bit before entering and closing the door behind me. I approach my boss who's currently typing something onto his keyboard, probably the plan for the Midnight and Zithea's upcoming mission. I stopped right in front of his table and handed over the files to him. He stopped typing and took the files then started scanning through them.
"What are these files for?" He asks me as he continuously scan through it. I cleared my throat before speaking to him, "Sir, These files are some of the current projects of our organization, some of these are pending projects and some are at the finalization. Your signature is needed for the projects to proceed and start." I explained to him then he hums as if thinking about it
He continuously hums then looks at me. "Are these files urgent and needed right now?" He asks me. "Some of them aren't because they're still pending projects which are subjects for approval. Although, 3 of the files there are urgent because they are at finalization stage and quite vital for our organization." I explained to him hoping that he would start scanning at least those 3 files so the other departments can start working on them.
He nods to me and places the file down. "I'll do them later but right now we have to focus on different matters." He says to me, I think he's talking about the drafting of the plan for Midnight and Zithea's Mission. It's quite delicate which is why it requires precise planning and no leaking should ever happen because it would put those two in a dangerous situation where we can't even openly help them.
He looks up to me as if reading my mind, "Yes, I was talking about my nieces upcoming mission. As you know, anything that goes wrong can put them in so much danger and when that happens we cannot take a direct action in that place because it's a neutral zone. Also, they're gonna be questioning are motives if we are ever to be caught in the act. How are we supposed to explain that a possession of the family has been taken? That can severely damage our reputation in many ways than one. " He said to me seriously. Well he seriously has a point. Though in my opinion, those two should be here right now to help with the planning. After all they're the ones who are gonna go and do this mission anyways.
I nodded in agreement to what he said to me, "I understand that sir but may I suggest you something? If you allow me to say so." I asked him politely to voice out my opinion about the planning. He nods and gives a sign to talk and keep going. I cleared my throat and then spoke, "I think sir Midnight and ms. Zithea should be with us during the planning. They're the ones who are gonna do the mission after all so I think it would be best to hear their opinions about it in case if they know a better idea or alternatives that can make them carry out the mission faster and safer for them. "
He hums as he thinks, "I do see your point Zen. The plan hasn't been finalized yet so I think we can still insert some of their ideas if they ever have and make the final adjustments of the plan. So for now do inform them that the plan is almost finalized and that they should be here by noon to talk and finalize the plan for the upcoming mission. Midnight in particular can contribute a lot on this, after all that niece of mine is most certainly not ordinary. And Zithea can help with the preparation of the necessary things needed, ask her what else she needs except for the ones she already has. They need to be fully equipped and prepared for whatever's waiting for them in that place. In this kind of mission, a simple mistake can be proven as their downfall. This means a lot to all of us after all and we cannot help them or anyone directly so make sure they have all what they need and also keep an eye to our possible enemies and not everyone should know about this mission. Make sure no information is to get leaked from our meeting and do sweep ups on systems and make sure our tech guys keep an eye on our system in case of anyone attempts to hack us." He says to me seriously.
The fact that sir Keir kept on repeating some of the things he just said earlier means he truly is worried about Midnight and Zithea's wellbeing. Those two may be adults now but their uncle most certainly loves them quite a lot and if possible I think sir Keir doesn't want those two to be the ones doing this mission. But Midnight in particular is the best one to send out in the field because of his knowledge and skills that were taught to him in a very young age and others that were acquired by merely observing other people. He truly is a terrifying genius except that he actually-
My train of thoughts were interrupted when I heard the sound of his throat clearing. I looked at him and he spoke, "All right that's all for now. Just don't forget to inform them and they should come together at now. Ask Andrea to do the necessary preparation for tomorrow and take note of who knows about the mission. For now you may go back and rest we still have lots of things to be doing in the afternoon." He said to me then went back to typing onto his computer. I bowed to sir Keir for the last time and walked out of his office. I didn't forget to inform Andrea about what sir Keir said and then I took my phone out and left Midnight a message informing him of what sir Keir and I talked about earlier.
As soon as I sent it, I headed straight to my office where I had a bed because of my overtime shifts at the organization. I closed the lights and just took my work clothes off as I was really exhausted. I closed my eyes and it didn't take that long to fall asleep. I hope everything works out fine tomorrow.
