Saheeda felt something strange in the environment. So, she raise her head to stare at the reason of change. And.. ahem.. everyone was staring at her. Making her more confused, but she just ignore her sixth sense which was saying she messed up again and focused on her food.
After all, for her food is life.
" What next, my lady?" Zunaid asked to the person, who was fully focused on food, earning a sigh from the homies.
They all joined her in finishing the dishes on the table. After all, they know, she won't be saying anything, in the meantime, any way. Kai just stare at her, with bit complicated look. Here she survived life-death situation. Yet, the only thing that she is concerned about is her food. Wonderful. Luckily, she takes sleep and food seriously. Leading to her speedy recovery.
~~
Once they finished eating and Shiva and Nazma took care of the kitchen, to be precise, cleaning the kitchen, started doing their job, while Kia left from the main door, making Zunaid, Saheed and Riya to follow her.
They all were shocked by what they saw. The lazy pig was actually becoming self-conscious and was actually running meticulously in the ground, covering one after another lap.
Zunaid's curiosity pique up. So, he follow after Kia. Riya followed Zunaid. And Saheed followed Riya. Thus, due to one person, the three started running too.
" My Lady, what are you doing?" Zunaid asked in confusion.
" Hey! Newstein! Are you alright! Do you need an eye-check?" Saheeda asked with huff and puff. As she was really running with all her might, as if there's no tomorrow. So, her voice was full of air.
But the question was enough for everyone to glance at Zunaid, who was absolutely fine.
" Yes, I am absolutely alright." Zunaid answered nevertheless.
" Then, can't you see i am running?" Saheeda said.
As for the three people, who were running, completely ignoring the fact, that they can talk telepathically, too, all bear that dumbfounded expression.
" Ahem. I can see that. But why are you running, all of a sudden." Zunaid asked, coming to the point.
" To maintain my figure, ofcourse." Saheeda replied.
And homies, once again, "..."
F-Figure. Did she actually say that, herself? Are-Are they dreaming? When on the Earth did this girl become image conscious.
" And, from when did you get this hobby?" Kai asked after recovering from the daze.
" The moment I saw that hotie and cutie. Of course." Saheeda replied in matter-of-fact tone.
As for everyone ; "...."
So, in order to impress those foreigners, this girl wants to become fit and fine. Is it!
" But you are already perfect." Riya replied, trying to control the P.T.Usha, who was all set to break all the previous records set by marathon runners.
" Awww, you are such a cutie.I know" Kia replied, obviously flattered.
" Then, why are you running?" Saheed asked once again.
"Oh fo! Is there any tax in running? Why are y'all so concerned about it? Just let me do what i want, don't disturb me." Kia said annoyingly, then she increased her speed to get rid of the trio once again.
They just stare at her, then haulted at the front of the house, while just watching her, who was busy 'maintaining her figure' at present.
After 15 minutes;
Finally the lazy pig, who only how to eat and sleep, who was running today, to everyone's surprise, ran out of energy, thus she stopped running and sat in the nearby bench to rest.
' K, mind explaining what's happening?' Nazma asked finally after finishing the kitchen task and now joining the already shocked trio squad.
Saheeda, who was busy gaining back her energy, which she invested in the run, give a cute look to Nazma, then she said; " I am just shaking the laziness off me. After all, from now onwards, we have to be as agile as water, as fast as bullet, as powerful as mountain to tackle down our enemies.
And with my lazy self, it is not possible. Zunaid, i suggest you to do the same. If you don't want to get embarassed like that Zunawala case." Kia said, while staring at Nazma then Zunaid.
" You mean, it's time to hunt." Zunaid asked with seriousness laced in their voice.
" Precisely. Till now, it was TTO which was on lead and we were just following them. But now, for 24 hours, we are on lead and we have to utilize as much of it as possible, to ensure that it would be TTO following us and not the other way round.
So, the first step to do that is to shake off all the laziness of ours. So, why not join me!" Kia explained, her calculations, then stare at the people, who were looking at her in shock. But then, everyone started their own exercise routine, as if to bring that fierce, fighting spirit of them back.
After one hour ;
Everyone can be seen heavily panting on the ground, as if they were lacking oxygen. After all, they weren't competing against each other, but themselves this time, leading to this. If they would have been competing with each other, then one would have been panting while another would be nagging around. But this time, everyone were busy testing their limits out. Leading into this.
" I need water."
" I need juice."
" I need food."
" I am hungry too."
" I need some more food."
And both Zunaid and Kia started whining like a hungry children.Making the four people to stare at them. As if they weren't tired at all. Only these two cubs were the only one, who were exercising.
Shiva and Nazma went inside the house, to bring something for everyone to level up. After all, they were the elder of the house. Besides, many things have changed from yesterday till now, between them. He likes to irritate her, but only when they are all alone In front of everyone, he acts like nothing happened.
Soon, they brought food and drinks, while Shiva had bright smile on his face and Nazma had a big scowl on her fcae, as if one more word and she will lunge at the culprit to kill.
All thanks to them, everyone gained back their energy. Then, they all sat in a circle, while staring at Kia as if waiting for what they are supposed to do next. She stare at Saheed. After all, he was the leader of the team.
" So, we have achieved our first milestone. Now comes our next task. Agent M, Agent J report." Saheed asked with seriousness.
" Yes Leader. We research about Micro-lemment, as we were told. And we found a shocking discovery about Micro-lemment. But, would it be suitable to talk here?" Nazma reported and as expected, Saheed and Kia glance at Nazma, then at each other. Then, they motioned everyone to go inside the house. Where in the basement area, they will resume this meeting.
Once everyone except Kia and Saheed left. Saheed stare at each other.
" Any problem?" Saheed asked. He noticed her absent-mindedness.
" I don't know. My sixth sense says, someone is tailing us. And as an agent, i might not trust my own shadow, but not trusting my senses would be a stupidity. We have to be completely alert. In order to ensure, the safety of these four, we have to leave this place, asap." Kia suggested.
" Tailing? Are they already unto us? I thought, we were in the lead." Saheed said with worry laced in his voice.
Well, maybe previously he didn't know, but now he does. That this girl will do from anything to everything, to protect those four people. And the safest way to do that, is to leave this Haunted house. So, that these two couples can stay safe here.
" Underestimating your enemy or the power of your enemy is consider as biggest stupidity, leader. We can assume that we are on the lead, as for who actually is on the lead in this chessboard, that only the one, who is watching from above can say that. Unfortunately, currently we are like those frontline pawns, who can die at anytime in any place, with even simplest of stupidity.
So, we can't claim to know about all the moves of the other party. Whether they defend themselves or attack us, we should be prepared for both."Kia replied in calm, gentle, serene voice.
" How can you do that? Being all calm and gentle?" Saheed asked in rare moment of non-seriousness.
" Well. That's the perk of being a doctor. The more the grave the situation is the more the calmness you attain in yourself. Because, once we lost our cool, then the patient is bound to die in our hands. Plus, there is a saying ; Practice makes Man perfect. It applied here." Kia replied with a shrug.
" So, if we leave this place, then what if someone sneak attacked on homies?" Saheed asked next.
" Then, leader. They are agent. My priority is to ensure thei safety. But, they have been through training to protect themselves and the people around them. Right now, it might be just one or two people stalking. But if it continues, then soon the grenades, bullets, helicopters, militants will be the one following them.
That's why, people say, the sooner the better." Kia replied.
