"Yes young miss.

" Joel replied, remembering the girl he had met twice today.

n

"I am entrusting you to Nina's safety. You will be responsible for finding her and bringing her back safely. Take whatever men you need, but please keep her safe. This is not an order but a request.

" Kizy said, her voice controlled.

nAfter all, three innocent people were suffering because of her.

nShe should have known this outcome the day she had married Markus, even when she had to escape C city just because of Professor.

nIf he didn't allow her to live with her strong team, why would he leave her after she was associated with Markus?

nBecause of her, a small innocent child, her best friend, while Markus's only parent was missing, and they had no news about them.

n

"You don't have to request, young miss. I will go.

" Joel said and left

n

"I'll call grandpa now. He must have seen the news, plus I need to inform him about mom

" Markus said.

n

"Yeah.

" Kizy replied.

n

"I will ask him to lend his men to search for mom. Since they have called just after half an hour, plus even Nina's location was traced in A city, I believe that they won't have gone far. They have kept them somewhere hidden but nearby.

nSo mom must be hidden somewhere near her company location, while Evie would be near to her orphanage in C city.

" Markus said.

n

"Yeah do that.

" Kizy said.

n

"Also, is Nicole well trained, especially in fighting? Or maybe at least for protecting herself?

" Kizy asked Markus.

n

"Yes, completely.

" He answered.

n

"Please ask her to come with us. Once we land in C city, let her go to the orphanage. She had met the owner and Evie, so she might find some clues on her. If we are lucky she might find Evie somewhere.

" Kizy said.

n

"I'll call her to the airport directly. We will go by private jet.

" Markus said before making the call.

n

"Sorry for pulling you and your family into my troubles.

" Kizy said, closing her eyes.

nShe couldn't even call her team for help as they were busy on mission. Or else they would have immediately called her once they would have returned and seen her calls on everybody's phone.

n

"Kizy. You are my responsibility. Your troubles are mine. So never apologize again.

" Markus said.

n

"Also, are we bringing our men to C city?

" Markus asked.

n

"I don't think we can bring much. I am sure these people have been following me since morning. So they would come to know if we are bringing more than necessary.

" Kizy said.

n

"Ok then. I will ask Mr. Lee to station his men in surrounding areas. At least we will have some clue about what's happening.

" Markus said.

nKizy simply nodded at his suggestion, knowing it was more or less useless, especially when it came to the professor. He never left anything with loose ends. He would finish every matter with a clean cut.

n

"Let's go wifey.

" Markus said, extending his hand towards Kizy, knowing they had to fight their battle alone now.

n

"Sorry.

" Kizy said once again, her voice a little trembling.

n

"The Kizy I know is strong and fierce. Nothing can stop her from accomplishing what she wants.

" Markus said while lifting her chin, making her look into her eyes.

n

"Markus, I think you shouldn't come with me.

" Kizy said, looking into those dark eyes.

n

"No. Then three lives would be endangered because of such stupid decisions. Let's go together. Even if some extreme situation arises, we will be there for each other.

" Markus said.

n

"But still-

" Kizy said, knowing this was going to be a do or die thing, and was fearing it would be the second one.

n

"No more excuses. We are in this together. And we are coming back home victorious today. Is that clear?

" He asked, looking straight into her eyes.

nWith that, both of them left for the airport, where they met Nina, and along with Jack and Alex, they boarded the private jet.

n

"Kizy.

" Markus called once they were sitting inside.

nMarkus and Kizy were sitting opposite to each other while Nicole was sitting alone, followed by Jack and Alex sitting behind her.

n

"Hmmm.

" Kizy answered absentmindedly.

n

"If. I am only saying that if the situation truly turns out to be not in our favour, and we are left with nothing, you will run away while I'll stall-

" Markus was still speaking when Kizy cut him off.

n

"As if I am listening.

" Kizy said while shaking her head.

n

"Markus, this is my fight. It all started because of me. You don't have to risk your life for this.

nIf the situation truly arises, that we are left with no way out, I want you to leave me and go. You have grandpa, grandma and mom who will be-

" Kizy was still speaking.

n

"I am not going.

" Markus said, his voice firm.

n

"But-

" Kizy was still speaking.

n

"Let's just plan for a safe retreat. For both of us.

" Markus said.

n

"Aaron would want both of us dead. But the Professor won't let him kill you. So right now they will be after my life.

" Markus said and paused.

n

"What you have to do is stall for more time. I have already asked Joel, grandpa and Nicole to inform me as soon as they find Nina, Mom and Evie. Till then you will have to do everything in your control to stay at the same place.

" Markus explained.

n

"But what about you? They won't spare you.

" Kizy asked, her tone worried.

n

"I won't fight back and bear with the attack till the end. When I receive-

" Markus was speaking when

n

"No Markus. Are you insane? Those are the professor's men. They won't let you live through the torture. I will never let them do anything to you.

" Kizy said in a firm voice, leaving no room for discussion.

n

"Then what are we supposed to do? If we take any actions before three of them are found, they can even take their lives in exchange! If not this way, then how are we dealing with it?

" Markus asked, not being able to think of any other escape plan.
