Chapter Sixteen- You Don't Exist?

Thomas's Pov

I entered the gym with a beer in my hand only to stop dead in my tracks when a small crowd caught my attention. Had someone fallen ill?

Was someone dead?

"What is going on here?" I asked Duncan who stepped aside so that I could now see clearly. My heart relaxed immediately as it was nothing to worry about.

Turanna and another soldier were having a sword battle and even though his skills were exceptional, hers out did his. It was something captivating and fascinating at the same time.

"Wondered where she learned how to sword fight like that. I couldn't even hold the sword much less use it!!!" Duncan remarked and I patted his shoulder.

I truly wondered too.

"I am aware of your poor sword fighting skills. I tried teaching you" I stated and he made a face.

"Damn she's good! " Myers exclaimed before looking at Duncan scornfully.

"You should let her teach you you know" she remarked and he gave her the finger.

"Myers...Duncan " I warned.

"Apologies Sir " they both stated with gritted teeth before focusing on the performance before us. Then the fight came to a beautiful end, Turanna placing the tip of her sword and her opponent's throat.

"A fair fight but still not quite there yet" she remarked as she helped the guy up who half smiled at her.

"That was excellent. You were excellent actually" he remarked.

Everyone cheered and when the crowd dispersed I handed her a towel which she used to wipe the sweat running along her neck.

"Just where did you learn how to sword fight?" I asked and she seemed amused by my question somewhat as she smile. I had too ask, handling a sword was not easy as handling a gun so not just anybody could do it.

"A close friend though me" was her simple answer before she was drawn away by Sushana and Roxwell who threw questions at her like arrows.

All I did was stare at her.

Hmm....interesting.

*****

Turanna Madison was the words I entered into my computer's search engine as I took a sip of my coffee. It was today's activity that made me realize I barely knew her.

While I knew so much about Roxwell and Sushana, I did not know much about her. Not because she just got here but simply because I was distracted by her.

I made her my liability so as a result I failed to pay attention to details. My gaze they landed on the text printed on the computer screen which read clearly.

No Result Found.

I arched a brow.

No result found? This computer was capable to give information on just about anyone in the United States. I possessed such power to do so as the data was available to me.

Yet, 'no result found'. Strange indeed I thought as I tried again only to receive the same answer.

"Who is this girl?" I mumbled to myself as I sat back in my chair observing the blank screen. If I felt foolish before this moment surpassed those times.

I was the greatest fool in the world just now knowing that she could be a spy and I was too busy admiring her to be fucking careful as I should be.

I kicked my desk in frustration. Was she working for Dyana? I held my head in frustration. How could I have allowed this?

"Sir Carter?" I then turned to see the demon herself.

"What?!" I spat as I spun around fully to face her and she arched a brow taking small steps back.

"I guess now is not a good time. I'll come back when you are in a better mood" she state as she was about to walk of but I stood.

"Actually whenever you come back I'll be in a worst f*cking mood so hold it right there" I flared as I walked up to her and she faced me slowly.

"Okay..." She remarked as she eyed me strangely and gladly I returned the gesture.

"Who are you?" I hissed and her eyes widen.

"Have you lost your mind, what kind of a question is that?" she asked. I gritted my teeth.

"A question does not give me an answer now answer me, who the hell are you and don't tell me Turanna Madison because no such person exist!" I yelled as I watched her eyes flew wide.

"Start talking" I hissed once more as I crossed my arms and when there was a sharp pain in my chest I realized I was angry that she lied to the organization. I was angry that the woman I fell in love with lied to me.
