Three weeks had passed, of the search for Aubrey Newman.
Every secret service agency in the world, CIA, MI6, RAW, FSB etc.
All in search for a mere woman who has nothing to offer the world, some moved with the intention to Assassinate her, and turn me into the hero they dream of, others moved with the bounty of a Hundred Million, to have her retrieved but the CIA was always ready to intercept, out smarting all their competitors.
Agent Ava heading the team of intellect's, and combat squads for operation dog-eat-dog.
Having breached all of their competitors' secret intel, to gather more information on her whereabouts and on alert to overtake their schemes.
Agent Ava, invited me to see the progress that was taken from under her expertise.
As she further informed me about the status of the search.
"Seemed like she disconnected from the world, record shows out of all the similar people who bore the name."
"One of them had all her social media accounts deactivated, October 1st, on the same day you were announced to the world Alex."
"She might be running away from you. Don't you think so?."
"Why would she want to run away from me!?, I'm the love of her life."
"Well to be honest with you, it was 2 years to her, but it didn't feel that way to you, and a lot can change in that timeframe."..Ava replied.
"Besides, she thought you were infected with the deadly parasite and probably had died, what do you expect?."
"That means she must've seen I'm still alive on Air, but she's decided to be on the run, away from me."
"I believe she's in danger, there's no way she wouldn't know I'm alive and not come looking for me."
"If you insist, no problem, we'll continue our search."
After everything I'd been told by Agent Ava, though I gave excuses for Aubrey shortcomings or for her safety, but deep down I couldn't refute, maybe there's a possibility she didn't want to be with me anymore.
But regardless, seeing is believing, I can't let my thoughts destroy the key to my heart.
Love is something I still want to experience at its peak.
I don't care how long it takes, I'll cross the world just to see her once more….
The dimly lit office was eerily silent, the only sounds of clicking keyboards and the occasional creak of floorboard.
Agent Ava, led her team, her eyes scanning the room for early signs of the digital trails of Aubrey they were searching for.
"Clear the area," she whispered, her team fanning out to sweep the space, moving with precision, checking every file and drawer.
Ava approached the main computer, a tech expert by her side.
"Can you get me access?"… she asked, her voice low.
The expert nodded, plugging in a flash drive.
The screen flickered to life, and Ava's eyes narrowed as she began to dig through the last call Aubrey made with an unknown number, and where abouts.
Suddenly, her earpiece crackled.
"Agent Ava, we've found something."
Ava's glaze snapped to the team member, her expression intense." What is it?"
"The unknown number, encrypted. It seemed to belong to a former CIA agent and it was a man!"
"A man!, so are you trying to tell me there's another who's still alive?"… with shock she replied.
I also instantly became captivated to know what was going on.
"What's his name?"… she asked the tech expert.
"His first name is cleared from the database but the last name here is Eastley.
"Eastley! Eastley!" … she repeated the name like she had an idea of who it was, her mind racing.
Ava locked eyes on me,"this could be the break we needed."
"I have an idea of who this may be but how is he still alive!!?, or does he have the anti parasite just like you?"
For a moment I stared in resentment, knowing that it may be true, and I wasn't so special anymore, also the thought of Aubrey being with him, spite me even more.
"He was my boss before the pandemic and was sacked earlier for being a sociopath, but just like every other male, I thought he'd have been dead."
"A sociopath?" I replied, loudly with a concerned look
"So there's a tendency he may have kidnapped her or also after the reward of the bounty!"
"How do we find him then?"
The tech expert replies.."We would have to call this unknown number or wait to receive their call, and track the location."
"Sure, let me give them a call from our encrypted phone numbers," Ava replied, and dialed the number.
Ring.Ring.Ring—Ring.
"This call is forwarded to voicemail."
Immediately after the call went off, a video message appeared in her inbox, as she played it via a bigger screen tv.
More than a thousand women, all had their faces covered, as they represented a movement, calling themselves the Redline Revolution.
A religious agenda, that calls me a mistake to humankind, with the narrative that if I got each and every woman pregnant, that would be a taboo, leaving every new human related by blood, and we are meant to go extinct to be recreated once more by God.
After the introduction, three female figures appeared on the screen, two of them were unmasked and free, leaving their identities open to the world as the face of this movement.
While the other was seated on a chair, hands tied and blindfolded, Had a figure similar to that of Aubrey.
One of the ladies began to introduce herself, with an aura she emanated like that of a psychopath, she laughed obnoxiously.
"Hello Alexander Epstein, the proclaimed savior to humanity, I've heard a lot about you big boy."
"I'm Harlequin White, with me here is my sister Vanessa White, and we have held a visitor captive for a while now, which we want to hand her over to you, but our end of the bargain should be made available, which is the promised large sum of money for her safety and reclaiming."
"Ahahaaaajajaaaaa."
