SIREN

Xi...

A FEW MONTHS BACK

After the bombing of the organization's base, most of the members were scattered. Xi being Siren's partner on most missions made him wanted because it was too good to be true that she did everything she did on her own, no "A" assassin has been that talented, so they named him her accomplice, and he had to flee for fear of his life before he left he stumbled upon Siren's phone. Cracking the password was a piece of cake, when he realized what had happened he was left in utter shock if he had Siren's abilities he could do worse, but all he was good at was gadgets, he wasn't the best at combat but he vowed to find her and render his help to her in every possible way he knew of. The only thing he had with him was a good phone that could earn him some cash if need be. He hoped to find Siren, but no one had seen her after the explosion, and no one knew what had happened to her, but if there was one thing Xi was good at, it was his ability to easily identify Siren regardless of her location. As a result of the bounty placed on his head by the big boss, he travelled to Texas with hopes of finding Siren based on the information he got from her phone, arriving Texas he was homeless, but homelessness wasn't something new to him, he was homeless when the organization took him in, so this was something normal to him. He found an abandoned building which he took to be his home for God knows how long. He hoped and prayed to find Siren somehow, she was like a sister to him and he'd do anything to help her. After weeks of endless waiting for something to pop up on Siren's phone and that was how he kept tabs on her, somehow whatever she is using now is connected to her previous phone, and she tried losing me repeatedly but I, stayed on her tail, however, that wasn't enough, I needed her attention and the only way to get it was by using our emergency code through an email, as I typed the words "WE NEED TO MEET".

PRESENT DAY

"WE NEED TO MEET".

Seeing these words, from him meant more than just an old friend's reunion, Xi what do you want? I ask myself thinking deeply. I slowly shut the laptop and crawl off the bed, I have things to attend to, I need to find out how my family is doing, and I bet the organisation will come after them if they can't find me. Standing inside my walk-in closet, I pull out a short and some innerwear, take a cool bath, and rushed downstairs to get some breakfast. Opening my fridge I realized there was nothing but some fries which can only be good for a good movie. Pulling out some packed chips, I dive on the chair and switched on the TV to see what's happening. Nothing new just weird incidents happening everywhere, but this news on the Johnsons caught my attention. That's my brother receiving an award, it brings a certain warmth to my heart seeing that smile on his face, .. it makes me happy. I wonder how Grandpa is doing, is he still alive? That question lingers in my mind like a sad symphony. I'll do something about it later in the day but right now I need a "just me" time.

LOGAN'S RESIDENCE

I've tried, I've waited, I've hoped I've expected something from her but nothing. I'm I going to be alright? What am I going to do without her? I'm slowly losing my mind, she was like the perfect thing in this miserable world of mine, Nalani... Where are you?

Liam and Leo can't help but pity their friend, they are trying the best they can to find her but still, nothing, they've been watching him since last night he's been taking deep breaths without uttering a single word. It scares them of what he'll do next.

Bro, maybe you should go to her previous place, she might have gone there, suggested Liam.

Yeah, that's true added Leo, you never can tell.

LOGAN'S POV

They have a point, I should probably check with her place, she might have gone back there. Grabbing my keys I slip out of the house hoping into my black Mercedes and drove off completely forgetting about Leo and Liam. In not more than thirty minutes I arrived at her small apartment which seemed untouched, I decided to ring the bell. After persisting, a nearby person told me that the house has been vacant for a while now, saying that the owner might have travelled. I pull and mess up my hair in frustration, it's almost noon and I still haven't heard a word from her where is she?

Phone rings... Hello

Dude where did you jog off to, we can't meet you if we don't know where you are.

Just take care of the office for me, I need to deal with something, he said disconnecting the call.

Getting into my car, I drove to the dungeon and the second I set my sights on Anthony the only words that came to my mind were "Make him bleed" I grabbed him by the neck strangling every piece of life out of him, I don't know why but tormenting him seemed like the best medicine to my wounds.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't wring out every piece of life from this useless

body of yours, I mutter in wrath. Just one...

Struggling to breathe...

I release my hold on him and he drops to the floor coughing profusely.

L... Logan I'm sorry, I never figured out she stood this vital to you, please forgive me.

Forgive you? I respond with a bitter chuckle that amazed him. There's no room for mercy, Anthony, you did this to me so haggle with the consequences.

I'm family...

Not in my dictionary!! He fired. Torture him till he bleeds nonstop. Make sure he stays alive, he doesn't deserve death, I spat as I walked out of the dungeon and drove to my private training centre. As I sauntered in everywhere hushed, the previous time I was here things weren't so promising, skimming at this place made my belly pang with discontent.

I stood thinking deeply as to what must have, happened to her. I turned and left straight for the office I need to get myself busy because who knows, she might be perfectly fine wherever she is, brushing aside my thoughts, I drive off to the office. Walking into the building as I always do, everywhere was dead silent. I enter the lifter and headed for the top floor, on arrival, my eyes wander to her empty seat and I could feel it again, the emptiness, the loneliness, everything seems to be hitting me from all angles. Why did you bring her into my life only to take her away from me? I ask my confused self. I entered the office and buried myself in deep work, with the hope of forgetting her even if it's going to be just for a while.
