Chapter 10- Mission completed
"What now" he was starting to get irritated, after all he had taken up some losses just so he could talk to her.
If Zosia heard his thoughts, she would definitely punch him.
He could have just let her have the foreigners, why argue with her?
It's not that Kris couldn't do it, but he had learnt his lesson the hard way.
Now, he knows how to differentiate family from business.
"I have to give a report on how it went and get some statements on them."
"Huh" taking out his phone, he dialed a number.
The phone rang for a while and was picked up on the second ring.
"I have need for your subordinate and would need to take her. Her subordinates would handle the rest."
Zosia heard how her major happily gave her out.
After his call ended, she received a call from the major, she could only listen and instruct her subordinates on the rest.
She still needed the one year leave.
Sigh!, she had some hope that she could escape but she couldn't.
She knew that consequences for it would be drastic if she did.
"Now, your free to come with me. Let's go." He held her by her hand and dragged her to the underground parking lot.
Zosia entered the car with only a question In her head.
"Where are we going?"
"To your house of course."
"If you actually know my house then" Zosia shrugged her shoulders, she would love to know how he would get her to tell him that.
As the car entered the road , the silence had become suffocating.
Breaking the silence, Kris couldn't help but ask, " How have you been doing?"
"Been doing great."
"Are you married?"
"No"
"Why did you leave me? Did you orchestrate the whole thing?" Zosia looked at him and said nothing. She did not reply to his question this time around.
Hearing no answer from her, he turned to look at her and saw her staring at him.
It suddenly dawned on him. How could he ask her such question. Gripping the steering wheel, he could feel the wounds in his heart being peeled again.
Zosia stared at Kris. She wondered what made him ask such a question, or was he unaware that it was his fault.
She didn't want to get angry this evening.
Turning her head to stare at the window, she enjoyed the scenery but the enjoyment slowly turned into shock.
The road looked so familiar, it was then she realized that it was the road that led to her house.
"You! How do you know my house?" She asked, her voice rising by a few decibels.
Kris smirked at her reaction.
Looking at how flustered she looked, amused him.
They arrived at the scene of Ryan taking Ken with him.
Kris was stunned as he stared at the smaller version of him with a mixture of Zosia features.
Looking at the small boy, tears began accumulating in his eyes.
Staring at the child before him, he took some shaky steps close to him before squatting.
"Do you know me?" His tone trembling.
Ken did not understand what was going on but he still truthfully answered.
"Yes. Everybody has mentioned you to me." A smile appeared on Kris face.
Ken looked at the expression on Kris face that looked worse than crying.
Separating himself from his father hold, he ran to his mother.
To him, the person he had a very close relationship was his mom followed by uncle Ryan, then his grandparents.
"Mom, I thought you said, you are going for a mission."
Kris stared at Ryan. Now he understood. Everything suddenly clicked in place.
"Ryan!" Kris called, but Ryan did not answer, he was still shocked from seeing Kris.
"Kris, you didn't tell me you would be coming."
"So, you guys could hide them deeper from me." He said with sarcasm lacing his tone.
"Well, you wouldn't have exactly found her if we intend on doing that." He answered, making Kris raise his eyebrow at his answer.
Tussling his hair, he ignored Ryan and walked up to Zosia.
"Let's go inside" Zosia said as she picked up Ken from the ground.
"Give him to me. You are already be tired." Kris did not give her the option to refuse and took Kris from her.
.....
Zosia stared at the grenade coming at her.
Right now, she was sure she would get PTSD.
She wondered what she had ever done to grenades as she keeps dying by them.
She tried moving but she did not know why she could not move, she couldn't even enter her space.
The moment the grenade exploded, she suddenly felt free.
She knew this mission was dangerous but she still agreed to go.
"If I survive this, I would surely retire." She muttered under her breath as she entered her space.
Taking a deep breath, she dipped her head into the stream.
Bring out her head, her erratic heartbeat slowly calmed down.
Zosia could not make sense of what had just happened.
Feeling that she had waited for a long while, she reappeared back at the scene.
Looking at charred piece of land before her, she felt lucky.
She suddenly noticed the holographic screen blinking.
"What is wrong with it? I hope it is not glitching." Her gloomy voice spoke showing how unhappy she was with her current situation.
Clicking on the screen, the Quest rolled itself out.

Looking at the screen, she did not notice anything different.

Zosia had a look of shock in her face. She noticed that she hadn't scrolled finish and dragged the cusor down.

At this moment Zosia was in complete shock.
"F*ck, can't they warn someone. They even reduced the time for the task. What the hell? Who does that? I can't even tell Ken bye." Zosia cursed under her breath.
"F*ck" still cursing under her breath, she quickly smudge her body, then ran far away from the site of the explosion, not forgetting to drag her body as well, after all, d scene needs to be believable.
Taking some equipments from her body she threw it into her space.
"Ah, I forgot to collect some more equipment from those dead bodies. Nevermind, it's late already" she brought out an envelope, then lay down like she was dead.
Remembering something, she took out a walkie talkie from her pocket.
Making her breathing ragged and painful was as easy as pie for her.
She quickly called on her colleagues.
Watching the countdown, Zosia felt that this was the most nerve racking moment of her life.
The moment the countdown hit zero, she put on a look of shock on her face.
She couldn't leave the world with an incomplete evidence, could she?
..........
Grunt!
"Ah, she is awake?"
Zosia felt some foreign voices and did not understand where they were coming from.
She thought she was dead, how could she still hear voices.
All she remembered was dying then her soul appeared in a dream like scene. She was asked what she wanted.
She felt like she could have all her wishes fulfilled but as always, reality always burst people bubbles, she could only ask for three, to which they are; taking care of her baby, making Kris regret ever kicking her aside and to love herself.
When she learnt that only by loving herself could she live better, it was already late.
Grunt!
Zosia suddenly felt another bout of pain. Taking a while to herself, she noticed new influx of memories. Going through the memories brought tears and happiness to her eyes.
She couldn't lie to herself, she knew if it were to be her, she wouldn't be able to do it.
Slowly, she suddenly noticed that the person's face was becoming blurry, she slowly forgot about how she got there, the contract, her wishes etc.
She tried grasping it, but it slipped away faster like loose sand from her hands, she could only let out a tear.
She would always be grateful for this life she had been given. This is a conviction she made within her and till she died, she was always grateful.
Waking up to the sight of her worried family, especially her son's.
She cried tears of joy seeing how big he had grown. She could not help but hug him.
No one can understand the rollercoaster of emotions she was going through.
To her everything seemed to have only occured within a few minutes.
