"Our mission was a success and we were running out of the house like there wasn't anything that we wanted more than this, especially I felt this. Because I didn't want to stay in this place for another minute where Diamond's life was at risk.

nAnd just as we reached the doors, we were trapped. All the doors and windows started closing, while the first thing my team did was protect Diamond, placing her in between.

" Jason said, a smile appearing on his face.

n

"But it was already late. And for the first time, I saw the Professor's face. He entered in long strides, a polite and gentle smile pasted on his face, which can make people feel relaxed, as if this man would be the last to ever trouble you.

" Jason continued.

n*ONE YEAR AGO, A HUGE BUNGALOW*

n

"How are you all?

" Professor asked, while walking towards the group of five, who were already in their defensive pose, ready to attack or defend any minute.

nNone of them replied, but the Professor didn't seem angry about it.

n

"Hazel! Finally you are attending missions again? After almost a year, right?

" Professor asked, his voice calm and soothing, looking straight at Kizy, even through Jason who was standing exactly in front of Kizy.

nBut Kizy didn't reply. Though she wasn't expecting this, at least she wasn't as terrified of Professor, as she was the last time, in the jungle between the Gala.

n

"Why don't you show your bare face in your office though? Do you know how difficult it was to search for your occupation? But then suddenly you asked for a leave, and I lost my chance again.

" Professor said.

nAll members from Jason's team were doing undercover jobs, excluding Jason himself. Once a member would sign up to work for him, Jason would find him or her a stable job and ask them to work there.

nThe members would do their jobs honestly like any other workers would do. And this job was the exact reason Kizy was able to hide about her true profession from her mom for all these years.

nShe was working in a normal company, a regular nine to five job, with a few business trips every month, which Kate didn't mind.

nAnd these trips were the ones where Kizy would go on missions with her team, even taking some days off.

nFortunately she was good at job, thus she rarely had problems while asking for holidays. Plus majority of the times, they would go for missions at night, so this wasn't much of a problem.

nKizy worked at a company, which was near Rose's company, which was why they would visit the 'Seventh Heaven' cafe, a cafe managed by one of their members.

nThe exact cafe which had helped Kizy plan for grandpa's accident along with Rose without getting discovered by Aaron.

nHarry being the youngest one had enrolled himself in a college, completing the course he had dropped out of.

nWhile Victor was a teacher at kindergarten, teaching young kids and being a common crush for all the female teachers, who admired how gently he treated the kids, even after having such a manly aura.

nThus though Kizy didn't attend the missions, at list she was doing her job.

nBut one day, Jason accidentally discovered two people, following Kizy, and that day onwards, he asked her to apply for a long leave from office, giving some valid reason.

nWhich was why, Kizy finally couldn't take it anymore when she would have to sit idly in their base while members would be doing their regular jobs or planning for upcoming mission.

nShe understood that Jason did this for her safety, but she just couldn't stay remaining protected like this anymore.

n

"Do you know how many times I searched for some missions, deliberately sending it to your group, but you stopped attending them as well.

nBut I was persistent. I attended every single mission, waiting for you and see! You finally came, and I got to see you.

" Professor said happiness was visible in his eyes.

nBut this was the thing that Kizy regretted the most, not listening to Jason's advice and even fighting with him.

n

"So Hazel, how are you? Did you miss me?

" Professor said, stopping at a distance of exactly five steps away from Jason.

n

"You can remove that mask, Hazel. I already know your face. And I like your original black eyes more than those Hazel lenses you were wearing gala.

" Professor said, a smile on his face.

n

"What do you want?

" Finally Jason asked, knowing they had no way out.

n

"Hazel.

" Professor replied immediately, as if he had been waiting for this question.

nBut Jasin just kept quiet, not wanting to talk with the Professor anymore.

n

"I have a great deal for you guys. Wanna listen?

" Professor said.

nBut none of the members said anything, because all such things were always handled by Jason.

n

"Since nobody is opposing, I guess I can start with the explanation.

" Professor said and continued ahead.

n

"Your group will work with us in partnership. You know that we people need groups like you to terminate our enemies. Plus your group will always be our top team, with all the resources given to you. Plus you don't have to only work for us. You can accept other missions and go for it, except the ones which are against me and my partners of course.

" Professor made an enchanting offer.

nBecause though their group had established and made a name for itself their group was independent, without any other support. But if one of the black markets was to support them, they could imagine the number of missions they would be offered.

n

"But of course I have my own terms and conditions as well. Luckily I only have two conditions though.

nFirst one is, Hazel won't be joining you on highly dangerous missions.

nAnd the second one is…
