Joel was about to speak, when his phone rang, showing a call from Jack.

Joel looked back at Nina's tear stained face, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket and extending it towards Nina while accepting the call.

Nina was a little shocked, before taking the handkerchief and wiping her tears away.

On the other hand, Jack informed Joel about their condition, even telling him that Kizy's helicopter had blasted but Kizy and Aaron had escaped.

With that, Joel rushed the driver to speed past for the airport even more.

But by the time they reached the airport, Joel received another call from Jack, telling how they had found an unconscious Kizy.

Thus both Joel and Nina stopped and returned back to the city, thankful but worried at the same time.

*THREE DAYS AGO, A BUILDING, C CITY*

Jason and his team had returned cheerfully, finishing their first mission of the year successfully.

They dropped their bags, relaxing on chairs and sofas.

"Finally we are back!

" Rose exclaimed.

"I almost thought we were going to lose it, but fortunately at the last moment, the man fell into our trap!!

" Harry said with a grin.

"I have received three missed calls from Diamond. Anyone else received her calls?

" Jason said while entering the room after freshening up, scrolling through his phone, as his usual habit.

"Wait, let me check.

" Rose said, while all three of them got up, checking their cell phones.

And similarly all of them had received calls from Kizy.

"I have received one call from second sister.

" Harry said, happy that Kizy still remembered him.

"Me too.

" Victor replied.

"Me as well.

" Rose replied, her tone serious.

"Why do you sound so dull? She must have called to wish all of us a happy new year!

" Harry said, his voice full of excitement.

"No. She would have tried calling only one member to wish, knowing we never leave each other. Since she tried calling all of us, it only means that she was confirming whether we are on a mission or not. Maybe she needs something.

" Rose said, while Victor nodded, agreeing with her.

"Let me call her back.

" Jason said, trying Kizy's phone.

But even after trying five or six times, Kizy didn't pick his call up, making Jason worried.

Because exactly at this time, Kizy was already on the private jet, going towards C city as the professor had asked her and Markus.

'Diamond always picks her phone. Is she facing some problem?' Jason thought to himself.

"First sister look at this!!

" Suddenly Harry exclaimed, gaining the attention of all the members.

With that he showed his laptop to all the members, its screen only filled with news related to Markus and his company.

"He is such a cheat! I am going to kill him for cheating on my second sister.

" Harry said, his tone furious.

Afterall he loved Rose and Kizy a lot. How could he take it lying down, that a person that his sister has married cheated upon her?

"This isn't as simple as that.

" Victor said, his tone grave.

"Professor?

" Rose asked, while Jason immediately ran towards the control room.

He contacted his intelligence team, and even did half of the hacking, finally managing to trace the call between Kizy and the unknown man who had called her from Nina's phone.

But by the time he found out the entire truth, it was already too late, with Kizy and Markus entering Aaron's base.

He had also found out about how Mary, Nina and Evie were kidnapped and who all were sent by Markus and Kizy to save all of them.

"Shit ** **!! I should have known this. Professor had been laying low for a rather long time. I shouldn't have accepted this mission at such a wrong time!!

" Jason said, furious at himself for not remembering these minor details related to Kizy.

"Jason, you don't have to blame yourself. We all are responsible for this. For now, let's think about saving them.

" Rose said, worried about Kizy and Markus.

"Yeah. Victor, you do one thing. I guess that orphanage isn't far from our place. You go and rescue that little girl. Diamond dotes on her a lot. If anything happens to that child, she will never forgive herself.

" Jason said, planning for the rescue immediately.

"Okay.

" With that, Victor, who hadn't even rested properly after returning, prepared his bag and left without any questions.

"Markus had sent Joel and his team A to rescue her friend, while they had sent Lucas and other men from grandpa's team to save Markus's mother.

Though all of them are not as capable as the professor's men, they have their own battle experiences, and I believe they would be able to rescue Diamond's friend and Markus's mom.

Thus I want both of you to get ready and accompany me. We will be leaving for Aaron's base in exactly five minutes.

Also Rose, you will remain in contact with the intelligence, and ask them to search for Diamond's location and update us continuously about it.

" Jason said before pausing and taking a deep breath.

"Harry, you will hack through all the nearby cameras. Though it is difficult to hack the security line by the professor's man, I believe you can do it.

" Jason said while Harry nodded.

With the basic plan ready, all of them left for Aaron's base, rushing even more after receiving the update that Aaron had already climbed inside the helicopter, leaving with Kizy.

By the time they reached, Kizy had already been severely injured, beyond the level Rose, Harry or even Jason could have imagined.

Thus as soon as Jason had shot the last man down, he immediately hugged Kizy, cursing himself for not being able to protect the only woman he had feelings for.

But the next moment, these feelings were replaced by something weird, making him feel sad instead of his regret or guilt.

*IMP NOTE* - I had promised to release 2 bonus chapters for more than 500 unlocks, but unfortunately, I am having my exams right now, and even uploading the daily chapters is getting difficult for me.

But I'll definitely release them once I am done with the exams. Also, the uploads will be irregular after november, maybe on weekly basis as I have three consecutive exams till month of feb, along with hectic schedule full of assignments, practicals and viva.

But I promise to release regularly after my exams are over. Also I'll release my pending bonus chapters then. Hope you all will support me till then. Thank you for reading FTMTD and supporting it till now.
