"I know that we would never let this happen again. But what if? What if we fall into another huge trap next time? I don't want you all along with your family members to suffer because of me.

" Kizy said.

n

"But we are a team second sister!

" Harry said.

n

"And this isn't even your fault.

" Rose spoke.

n

"I know this all. Yes we are a team. In fact we are a family, guys. But I don't want my family to be harmed because of me. And I am sure, once I leave, the professor won't come seeking trouble with you people. Once he knows that I am not associated with you guys, or I don't have any contact with you all, he would simply forget you all.

" Kizy said.

n

"What if he doesn't?

" Jason said.

n

"Then you guys are more than capable of saving yourself. I would only be a burden in such situations, and we all know that. I am good with guns, but guns can not be used always.

" Kizy said, pointing out her own weaknesses.

n

"You were never a burden!

" Victor said, his voice serious.

n

"First brother. Please support me about this single decision. It torments me to see you all suffer because of me.

" Kizy said, her voice cracking at the end.

n

"We don't have to do this Diamond. It was my mistake because of which, we were threatened about our family members. But I have tightened the security around them. And this won't happen again.

" Jason said, his heart feeling as if it was being squeezed by someone.

n

"Jason please. Why don't you all understand my stance!! I just want to live happily, watching you all being safe and sound. This team means a lot to me. But that is exactly the reason I don't want this team to suffer. Please let me leave. And Jason you had promised. After spending fifteen months, it depends on the member, whether they want to continue working or not. I want to stop here. So let me go.

" Kizy said, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

n'It was fifteen months, because I felt that this much time would be enough for you to get used to all of us. Get used to our presence so much, that you won't even dream about living away from us.' Jason thought, a dejected smile appearing on his face.

n

"Okay.

" Jason said, before getting up.

nHe went to another room, making Kizy feel sad, because she knew she had truly disappointed Jason. But she had no way out.

nNo member uttered even a single word. None of them wanted Kizy to leave, but Kizy was literally pleading and Jason had already agreed to it.

nAfter a few minutes, Jason came back, documents in his hand.

n

"These are your contract termination papers. This is another contract which states that you will always remain our teammate, and you can utilize any resources you want to, that belong to the group.

" Jason said while passing two papers and a pen towards her.

nKizy came and read both the contracts. By the time she ended second contract, she was about to cry.

nJason had altered so many clauses, just so that she would remain their teammate forever.

nShe took the pen before signing the first contract, but then she closed the pen cap, before passing both the contract back towards Jason.

n

"Why?

" Jason asked.

n

"This isn't fair Jason. You can have any team member better than me. So let's not do this.

" Kizy said.

n

"But Diamond, we-

" Jason was still speaking when Kizy cut him off.

n

"Sorry Jason. I can't do this.

" Kizy said, turning and leaving the room.

n

"Diamond, think about this once again. Because if you don't sign this, it means we are no longer a team and won't be anything more than acquaintances.

nYou will never be able to return to this place, contact any of the members, or seek help from us. Are you okay with all this?

" Jason said, his voice controlled.

nKizy paused in her tracks but didn't turn back. She had already started crying, and she didn't want the team to see that.

n

"Second sister, please think carefully!

" Harry said, tears flowing down his face.

nRose and Victor instantly stood up, walking towards Kizy.

nKizy felt them nearing her, and wiped her tears away.

n

"Yes. That's what I exactly want.

" Kizy said, before running out, not even looking back at the members again.

nJason just kept standing on his place, staring at the place where Kizy was standing moments ago, while Rose and Harry cried.

n*PRESENT TIME, KIZY'S HOSPITAL WARD*

n

"You know whatever happened after that. Even after she had left, she continued doing the job I had given her. But somehow the CEO came to know that she was wanted by the professor.

nTo save his own company, he fired her. She searched for many small or big jobs, but no one was helping her out.

nI kept protecting her along with her mother secretly. But whenever she would leave her house or any other place, she would find someone following her.

nKnowing that her locations were revealed in C city, she moved back to A city at midnight. She hardly spent a day here, and next night, her mother was almost murdered by professor.

nUnfortunately I was away on some private mission, and couldn't help her at that time. Thus she ended up with you.

" The Professor said, a sad smile appearing on his face.

n

"She has suffered a lot.

" Markus said, not knowing what else he was supposed to say.

n

"And that is why, if you ever treat her wrongly, I won't think twice to take her back, away from you.

" Jason said, a warning tone visible in it.

n

"As if I am letting you do that.

" Markus said with a smirk.

nAnd for the first time, the invisible pressure that always used to surround Markus and Jason at every single meeting had reduced little.

nThey talked for some more time before Jason left leaving Markus and Kizy alone.

n

"Little lamb, there is one thing I need to tell you. Get up early, please.

" Markus said, looking at the sleeping Kizy.
