He raised his brows in anger "where is he?".

Tears cascaded down her cheeks in torrent "death?". She whispered brokenly.

He sighed and sat heavily on his chair,his contorted face spoke of angry venom building up in him. He gritted his teeth trying to hold himself and keep himself in check.

"Tell John to get him wrapped and ready".he spoke a bit calmly.

"Yes sir"the maid replied muffling her weeping voice.

He light his pipe and held it between his trembling fingers,they trembled not for fear but of anger. His mind went in a whirl wind of thought, who could have killed Ben right in his base. Alex voice echoed now clearly in his head,there was definitely a mole and he had to clear it out else he would end up in a mess.

The door opened in a cream,he turned his hard face and saw Sarah staring at him through her lashes with tear stained face. She sniffed "we have his body ready".she spoke in a whisper.

"Am coming down in a while,get the doctor to look him up".

She nodded and dragged her feet about to get out,he stared at her with pity,maybe she had probably loved Ben and he was wrong to try and separate them. Somehow he felt a pang of jealousy and anger,maybe he was just angry with the fact that Ben was death but what was he jealous of.

The door banged shot and he smoked his pipe quietly pacing gently round the office. His lips curled up in a smirk he bit it occasionally to surpress the anger burning in him.

Ben lay straight as he was laid cold and lifeless,the doctor examined him quietly, Lycan stood by his side smoking his pipe while Sarah stood head bowed in genuine sadness since it was her doing. The doctor stopped touching the corpse and removed his gloves without uttering a word, John proceeded to cover him up while the doctor washed his hand.

"What killed him?"

"Due to the big wound on his skull,it is quiet obvious that he was badly hit".he strike a match stick and smoke his cigeratte gently,these time he stood beside Lycan and both had their eyes fixed on the corpse without exactly looking at it. "With my hypothesis,I think he was hit and he collapsed before his assailant had the upper hand and stabbed him multiple times"he paused and sent a smoke from his mouth "I guess he died from excessive bleeding".

Lycan nodded his head gently while gritting his teeth "and I gather that these assailant is in our midst?".

The other men shifted nervously on their feet while eyeing each other suspiciously.

"Get the body disposed" Lycan ordered as he stormed off.

John and a few others proceeded to carry out the job and Sarah quietly retired to her room.

"Have you heard anything from the agent who went undercover?". The man asked,he was dressed in dark suit and had his hand in his pocket while scanning through some files in the office. The others stood on their toes as he continued his inspection.

"Nothing yet".

"How do you operate ?".

"Pardon?"they raised a questioning eye to him.

"Arrrgh"he moaned impatiently placing his hand on his forehead "is these operation still in progress?"

"Yes sir"they replied rather hesitantly.

He allowed himself drop heavily on the chair,he searched with his finger through his jacket pocket trying to find his cigeratte case. He found it and picked out a stick,light it and draw noisily sending the puffed smoke into the air.

"How do you keep up when you are not getting anything from your undercover".

They shifted uneasily on their foot "we will find her".

He stood up and sighed then crushed the cigarette in the ashtray "you better do that as soon as possible".

Then he walked off with his entourage.

Agent Ross sat on her reclining chair turning leisurely while staring at the computer screen before her,the phone beside her beeped noisily she grabbed it and started pouncing away on the keyboard. "Yes,what do you have".

Sarah sighed and dropped on the bed heavily "can't you call off these operation?".

"Why?,can't you go on?".she narrowed her eyes.

"That's not it ma'm,I was just thinking maybe…"

"...there is nothing to think,you are undertaking these operation for us and for your own good and I won't take it lightly if you back out now".

"Is that a threat?".

She chuckled softly "take it the way you like it but believe me,if you flop now i will make sure you don't have any career to come back to".

Sarah's eye widened in surprise "bitch!!!"she yelled and forcefully ended the call.

A worried frown creased agent Ross forehead,what happened that made her just decide to back out at the last minute. Sarah who was so filled with bitterness backed up with the desire for revenge had suddenly decided to back off from something she willingly agreed to do. Knowing her personality too well, Ross knew the threat will only hold her down for few more days if not months and then she will really back out so she had to come up with a quick plan, something to hold her down for as long as she needs.

Maria dug the beacon with her fork uninterestedly,it was an unusual cold morning and she hated it. Her head maid had gone home to see after her sick mother so she was left to the mercy of two young maids. She sighed and continued eating quietly,her thick lashes flicking occasionally.

She was dressed in a silk armless plain dress and her thick blond hair swept gently on her shoulder. The fog had risen which kept the roads blur so she had instinctively decided to stay indoors cancelling all her business schedule since these few days she had become quiet nervy. The telephone loud ring made her jump with a frightened start,she heaved out a sigh after realizing the cause of her distress.

"Dora,get the telephone"she called out to the clumsy maid who was to oversee the house till the head maid returned,few minutes elapsed but there was no reply.

She groaned angrily,the men had gone to the warehouse and since she was to be at home, she did not see any need to keep a personal guard so she had equally let John go. "Dora!"she yelled out to the girl trying as much as possible to bottle up her anger and frustration.

The door creaked noisily as she opened her mouth to unleash it's venom but it was not Dora.

A tall man dressed in a dark suit with dark sunglasses having two sides beside him appeared. He held a dark umbrella in his hand and slowly pulled of his hat turning a sinister smile towards her. Her eyes widened in shock as heavy tension fell in the room,hot beads of perspiration formed on her brow as she swallowed hard and spoke in a whisper "Alex".
