Chapter 6 - The Thought of Losing a Loved One

Our Parents are dead, no,... no..., no..., this can't be true.

The Phone call between Ian and the Leader of the "THE KILLERS" ended.

All three, Lucy, Ian, and Leo are in shock and start crying.

The letter from their parents before had made them so depressed, now this phone call with that person who calls himself 'The Leader' saying, "YOUR PARENTS ARE DEAD."

Ian (while crying) says, "What's the meaning of this?"

Lucy (to herself), " No, no..., no..., this isn't true, this can't be true. Just the thought of losing them is making me crazy." and tells Ian to call that number again.

Ian calls the number again, and replies to Lucy, " That number is not valid."

Lucy says again, " Call Mom and Dad. They called before right."

Ian calls the number but it is out of range.

Leo says, " This is a lie, right, Lucy, Ian."

.

Lucy says, "

This can't be happening.

No, no, no... Not again...

I have already lost my real parents before, I don't want to lose the parents that helped and raised me and made me who I am right now.

Hey, Ian, Leo, I don't want to lose them... I... don't...want to lose them. I will find and visit the place where they went on their 117th mission."

Leo, ( who is crying ) says, " I will come with you."

Ian also says, " I will also come."

Lucy replies, " It's a dangerous place since mom and dad went on this mission ...

Lucy was about to add something to his sentence, but Ian's phone rings.

.

Ring...

.

Ring...

.

Ian tells Leo and Lucy that the phone call is from 'The Mister.'

The Mister says, " Hello, I am happy to see that you completed your first mission. Now it's time for the second mission, Kids."

Leo says, " What, second mission? I don't think we are interested in doing missions for some unknown individual right now."

Ian and Lucy reply, " Yes, we also think the same as Leo, we don't want to do any missions right now, and that too from an unknown individual."

The Mister says, " I also know that I don't want to reveal myself so soon, but what if I tell you about the location of your parents and...

The Mister is about to say something but...

Ian stops him and says, " I don't want to know who you are Mister but please tell us do you know where our parents are and what happened to our parents?"

The Mister says, " If you finish the second mission by tomorrow night, then I will tell you about your parents."

Lucy yells, " But I want to hear it right now."

The Mister says, " Calm down, Lucy, It will not bring your parents back. If yelling could bring someone back, I would have definitely considered it so many times in the past. So, now a question, Will you accept this mission? If Yes, One of you, ring the doorbell in 1 hour."

The phone call ends.

.

.

Scene shifts to Mr. and Mrs. Delome;

They are unconscious.

They are surrounded by 16 individuals and one of them is 'The Stranger' who was on the train with them.

Mr. Delome wakes up and sees 'The Stranger' and says, "You were with them this whole time, what do you want?"

The Stranger says, " It's now what I want, It's what your leader wants."

Mr. Delome says, "What do you mean by that?"

"Now, now, let's wait, we still have 29 days left to complete this mission.

The mission is just starting, Mr. Delome.

You know, Mr. Delome, more than 18 hours have passed since you accepted this mission and you killed more than 180 individuals in less than 4 hours. Now I have only 14 individuals left. The individuals you killed were all trained assassins and you two killed them with not too much difficulty. We can kill you two right now. But now, it's the time to tell you, what your mission really is." says the leader from the shadows.

Mr. Delome replies, " What do you mean by your mission really is?"

"First, let's wait for Mrs. Delome to wake up, then we can talk about the real mission, until then, have a good sleep," says the Leader from the shadows.

.

.

Scene shifts to Ian, Lucy, and Leo;

The time limit of 1 hour is about to end and Lucy, Ian, and Leo are discussing something.

10 Minutes Left

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2 minutes...

Leo goes outside and rings the doorbell.

Lucy says, " So, Ian, Leo, as discussed."

Ian and Leo reply, " Yes, yes."

.

.

Ian's phone rings;

Ring... Ring...

Ian says, " Hello 'The Mister'."

The Mister replies, " So, you are interested in doing your second mission."

Ian says, " Yes, we are, but before that, we want you to tell us about our parents. Where are they and what has happened to them?"

The Mister replies, " So, let's start with YOUR PARENTS ARE SAFE. Their real mission will start now."

Lucy says, " Are you telling the truth, they are safe?"

The Mister replies, " Yes, of course, I'm telling the truth, do you really think the mission will end in only just one day?"

Leo says, " But then why was the leader of the group 'THE KILLERS' saying that your parents are dead?"

The Mister replies, " I don't know the answer to that question. So, now before you ask another question, I will give you the details of your second mission.

"GO TO THE DOOR AGAIN, YOU WILL FIND A LETTER WITH DETAILS OF YOUR NEXT MISSION"

Leo runs to the door and finds the letter, picks up the letter, rushes back with the letter in his hand.

The Mister says, " All the details of your next mission are written on that letter. Call me on the time mentioned in the letter."

The Phone call ends.

.

.

Leo, Ian, and Lucy open the letter and on it was written the following details;

" YOUR SECOND MISSION, REACH THE F.A.T Hotel and WHEN YOU REACH THE HOTEL, AFTER EXACTLY 1 HOUR i.e. IF YOU REACH AT 7 A.M., CALL 'THE MISTER' AT 8:00 A.M. YOU WILL GET FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CALL. THE MONEY TO REACH THE HOTEL IS ALSO IN THE ENVELOPE. USE IT WISELY."

.

.

Lucy says, " Pack your bags, let's finish this mission quickly. Let's take a train tomorrow morning at 6 A.M."

.

.

Next day,

Leo says, "Hey, Lucy, Ian, Wake up, We have reached our destination."
