CHAPTER -07
"THE THREE AGENTS"
That night,Ace dreamt of those eyes again.
Those intense green eyes piercing in him,like they could gaze in Ace's soul.
Those green eyes seemed so intense yet so empty,like an empty bottomless pit.
While those green eyes were serene like the black sea with no waves within there seemed to be a crazy storm brewing inside those eyes.
Waking up,Ace sighed helplessly.
Why were he so obsessed with those eyes?
He didn't even know if that figure was of a man or a woman.
Yet,here he was, losing his sleep over that.
Next morning,Ace found himself again in front of that glass building.
Ace sighed and went inside.
"Mr.Holmes,the director is waiting for you," the secretary said looking at Ace when he went in front of the director's office.
"Good morning,Ace. Did you sleep well?" The old man asked him with a warm smile.
Ace actually felt a little good meeting someone who was related to his father. He thought that after some day even he would forget his father.
"Good morning," Ace greeted back.
"I'm happy that you have decided to do it. You know,you are one of the best we have got," the old man said.
Ace didn't say anything in reply.
"Let's go. I'll take you to meet your team,"the old man said.
Ace nodded and followed him out of the room.
They came to a conference room.
"Good morning, director," the people in front to the room greeted them as they walked into the room.
"Good morning, guys," the old man greeted.
Ace looked at the people sitting in front of him.
There were two men and one woman.
He noticed the woman first as she was already looking at him.
She was really tall. Ace thought maybe she was taller than him. She had short blond hair and intense black eyes.
She was wearing denim jeans with a grey t-shirt.
Beside her was sitting a man with a very short height and sliver hair. Ace couldn't see his eyes as he was wearing glasses and looking down.
Beside the short man,another man sat there.
He was also tall like the woman.
He had long hair tied in a messy bun.
With his hard muscles that could be seen under the green shirt and the tattoo on his biceps,he looked like a rookie in the road.
Only contradictory thing about his look was the round glasses he wes wearing.
"Hey folk. This is special Agent Ace Holmes.
Ace,this is Agent Lyla Kerry," the director said pointing at rhe the girl.
She nodded at Ace in greeting.
"This is Agent Joey Brawler," the old man added pointing at the muscular man who also nodded looking at Ace.
"And,this is Agent Alex Evans," this time,rhe the old man pointed to the short man.
Finally,he short man looked at and met Ace's eyes.
Ace felt an uneasy oppression as the man kept looking at Ace but didn't say anything or nod.
Ace diverted his eyes away.
"Ace, Agent Kerry, Brawler and Evans have been working on the Mafia case for a year now.
They will help you and brief you on everything about the assignment. They are one of our best agents," the old man said.
"Agent Kerry has been working as an undercover in the arm business for few months now. She has knowledge about the supply of the Mafia and she can tell about the gun dealing going on around the road.
And,Agent Brawler has been working as a undercover in the Mafia for a more than six months now. He has gathered some inside knowledge about the Mafia and he has the connection to get you inside the Mafia," The old man started to talk.
"Agent Evans is actually our best tracker and profiler. He will help you to get mixed with the Mafia people and help you understand the assignment properly.
They will be your backup and help you through the assignment.
You'll be in lead of the assignment. You can order them to do anything for you.
You can reach out to them anytime you need help," the director finished.
Ace listened carefully as his brain sorted out important information.
"If Agent Brawler is already working as the undercover,then why should I go too?" Ace asked.
Agent Joey Brawler gave Ace an impressed look.
But Ace didn't mind him.
"I don't why but I can't get inside the main house of the Mafia. I have tried many times but they never take me there," Joey said.
"Are they suspicious of you?" Ace asked raising his eyebrow.
"Man, you're good. That's what we think so," Joey replied.
"What about you? Did you ever get inside this main house?"Ace asked looking at Lyla Kerry.
"No. I don't actually work with the main mafia. The arm dealing has it's own force. I don't think my boss also hasn't meet the Mafia King before," Lyla replied.
"Then,you guys think I can get inside the main house?" Ace asked.
"You're quite right person for the job," Alex talked for the first time.
Ace waited for him to continue.
"You have no legal documents in the CIA. No one can connect you with the CIA. You have only records of your military service," Alex added.
Ace felt a hint of worry knowing that this people knew so much about him. He also understood that Alex was the brain behind the plan and Alex made Ace felt uncomfortable.
It was feeling of standing in front of a dangerous animal who could jump on you anytime.
"Then, what's the plan?" A
ce asked.
"We'll tell you,"Alex said grinning and Ace felt a shiver running down his spine.
