Episode 2: First Time Leaving

After Mia had sent Louis Baska out of his company, she took charge. Her mother had cancer at the time but was unaware of it until the day she fainted. Mia's men who were assigned to watch her informed her about her mother and in a split second Mia arrived at the hospital at which Marie Baska was in.

The doctor took Marie into the ward but when the doctor stepped out he asked that Marie needed to see Mia. After a few minutes, Mia left the hospital, and Marie was confirmed dead.

Mia Baska sat on a wooden chair in which the armrests has been carved into a lion and the headrest to the backrest was carved into a lion. She sat in front of some set of chairs facing the door. Her right arm held the right armrest while her left elbow relaxed on its armrest while the thumb and index finger rubbed each other.

Liam came in and passed a piece of information to her. Liam was the closest to Mia out of her entire troop. Though she trusts no one, she informs him of most of her actions before anyone and Liam seemed pleased with it.

“Send him in," she said looking afar

Liam bowed and left. He walked in with a dark, tall, and fitted man. He had broad shoulders and very appealing eyes. He wore a brown suit which made him look like a proper gentleman.

Liam excused himself and left the room leaving the two to talk privately. The man walked up to Mia and stretched forth his hand for a handshake.

“Miss Baska," the man said

Mia glanced at his hands and looked away. “Not so pleased to see me?" he asked with a dirty smile playing on his lips

“Oscar Raymond I be..."

“That's too formal. You can call me Ray" Oscar Raymond said winking at Mia

Mia stares at him for a while. He shifts a little on his seat as the environment became tense. He began scanning his environment when Mia spoke.

“I'm glad we are on the same page," Mia said and stands

Raymond smiles nervously as he stands too. “I need you to supply them with some equipment," Mia said folding her arms behind her back

“Sure," Raymond said and walks to the door “Send me what exactly you need," he said and opened the door

Raymond was about to step out of the door when he heard fingers snapped and he turned to face Mia. Some of Mia's men stepped in through the door. Raymond looked surprised and stepped back avoiding them.

He wanted to leave because he felt uncomfortable around Mia. Though he has always supplied Mia with all the alms and equipment, he still feels she hides something deadly with her face.

That brief moment of silence that existed between the both of them, Raymond could feel the threat surrounding him and as such he decided to leave in order not to be hurt.

“Where do you think you are heading to?" Mia asked

Her voice sent shivers down his spine. Mia's voice was both authoritative and threatening to Raymond.

“Em... I have somewhere I have to be soon so I..." Raymond pauses and clears his throat

Mia stares at him for a while and waves her finger. Raymond glances at her troops and slowly leaves their presence. Once he crossed the door, he bent slightly to catch his breath because he felt he just left the lion's den and hurriedly left Mia's home.

Mia faced her chair. “Assemble leaders here," she said and sat on her chair as everyone left the room

In the next minute, Liam led eight people into the room each putting on a balaclava.

“Remove them" Mia commanded sounding annoyed

Everyone immediately removes their balaclava as they feel she is not in a good mood. She glanced at each one of them and stands putting her hands in the pockets of her trousers and moving closer to them.

“I will be leaving in a few minutes," she said sounding disappointed with her words

Everyone glanced at themselves except Liam who understood what Mia was talking about. Their gazes finally ended on him as he paid no attention to them but stared at Mia. She backs them.

“Oliver get me my bags" Mia commanded and a girl tapped a button on her wristwatch and the ground around her parted and she fell through and shut itself

In a few minutes, Oliver came back through the part she left in with three black bags which included a rolling box. She placed it before Mia and took back her position before she left. Mia sits and gestures for them to sit.

“I will leave and be back only when necessary but the estimated time I think I would be away will be a year," Mia said as she glances at their faces

They all looked surprised. They were not used to having Mia leaving without them and it makes them worry.

“But why go alone, you should..."

Mia raises her hand to the air which makes Robert pause. “I don't need anyone to join me. It's important I go alone" Mia said and stands and her troops rise too

“Ensure that you all take care of everyone present. This is my first time leaving and that is because I believe you all can take charge, right?" Mia said

Everyone nods and she dismissed them excluding Liam. “Ensure everything is neutral around here. Call when necessary and only by noon. I will keep in touch every two days if you don't hear from me for more than two days panic but don't act if I need your help I will reach out" Mia said

Liam nods. “I will do as you say but please take care of yourself," he said and Mia smiles and nods

She walks out of the room while Mis gathers some of her troops to take her bags outside. Mia stood in her compound and everyone was surprised to see her bags before a black jeep with tinted glasses drove into the premises. Mia snaps her fingers and her bags were put into the back of the jeep.
