"Put off your blindfold. "
Emma started to untie the cloth in her eyes like Superior Mengu had ordered her, her heartbeat is still fast in fright, all the shining in her eyes had disappear.
When she untied the cloth, she found herself on a road in the middle of nowhere, covered in forest. In front is Superior Mengu, in his normal costume.
She also saw two trucks, one behind Superior Mengu and one in front of him.
"Where are we.." Emma's voice trembles as she asks.
"It doesn't matter where we are. " Superior replied in a cold tone. "We are replacing our truck so that no one can capture us easily. "
Emma shivers from his cold voice, making her don't ask anything further.
Superior Mengu didn't notice it as he was busy giving the old truck driver instructions on what to do.
"Remember you will come to the island one week later, for now work as a spy in Manhattan. If you find anything sensitive reply to us. "
The old truck driver nodded.
After that, Superior Mengu walks towards the new truck, Emma also slowly follows her in silence.
When they get inside the container of a truck, they see an empty place, having nothing inside it.
Emma slowly came inside then Superior Mengu closed the gate of the container.
"So now. " Superior Mengu ordered Emma. "Now we are directly going to our nearest coast, during that time don't do any stupid shenanigans or I could kill you without any second thought, understand? "
"Yes. " Emma slowly answers.
Soon the truck started, Alice fell down from the sudden movement. Superior Mengu ignored it, sitting down.
For almost ten minutes no one said anything.
"So. " Emma quietly broke the silence. "Why did you join this terrorist organization? "
In the beginning Superior Mengu looked at Emma which clearly made her uncomfortable. Unexpectedly he spoke.
"The thing is, one day I was with my family. My wife.. Two beautiful daughters. Everything was normal, my wife cooking food, my daughters playing and me doing my work. "
"What happened that day?" Emma said, her voice barely above the whisper yet she is interested in the story, her glimmering blue eyes having small sparkle
"We had a chimney. " Superior Mengu rested his head on the container wall. "It started to burn the whole house. "
Superior Mengu bowed his head down, he took a long breath then continued.
"All the townspeople had told that fatass mayor that he should build a fire station near our neighborhood!! But that greedy pig didn't listen… Because of him I lost my family. "
He touched his mask.
"What happened after that? " Emma started to feel sympathy for the Superior Mengu.
"I watched my family burn alive, I tried my best to save them… . My face also got damaged. "
"What did you do then? " Emma asked slowly, yet her voice wasn't filled with fear, it was empathy.
"I tried seeking justice legally. " Superior Mengu clenched his fist. "It failed so I… I broke into his house. "
Superior Mengu lifted his head, staring towards Emma.
"I killed his whole family. "
Emma didn't say anything, her old terror returned, however some of it had transformed into something else, something soft. Her aqua eyes now has some sparkles.
"So then I got arrested. " Superior Mengu became more relaxed, leaning back. "There Lord Yin found me, giving me a place in the organization. "
"That's tragic. " Emma said, her expression became soft, now she doesn't fear him like she used to.
"Don't make yourself comfortable with me. " Superior Mengu returned to his old personality. "The main reason I told you this story because I became bored, now stay silent! "
Emma flinches from the sudden change in voice. She followed the Superior Mengu order like an obedient child.
Superior Mengu started at Alice with his emotionless eyes.
"Don't you think of escaping. " He warn coldly.
—————
Moments pass, Emma had became tired from all the events happened in that day which make he to fall asleep. She laid on the empty container, the bumps of the truck aren't effecting her sleep.
Superior Mengu makes sure she is fully sleep, after that she shifted his view, looking up.
"It's night. " He talks to himself. "We soon will reach our destiny then the island. "
"Superior Mengu you hear me? " A deep voice came inside of his cloak.
Superior Mengu pulled out a walkie talkie from his cloak.
"What happened Lord Yin? I have the girl and I don't think she will try to escape. "
"It's something else. " Lord Yin said firmly.
"What is it? "
"Saif al-Rahaman is coming to our island for a meeting. "
"You have already told me about that Al Qaeda guy. What do you actually wanna tell? " Superior Mengu asked.
"I have capture someone which will be important for something and for that something I also need you. Whe you come to the island, come straight towards me for a talk. "
"Ok, understand. "
By saying that Superior Megu put back his walkie talkie in his cloak.
Suddenly the truck stop.
Superior Mengu didn't waste a single moment.
"Wake up girl we have to go to our destination. " Superior Mengu shakes Emma shoulder.

The president squeezes his small, blue eyes on the files of the Macuiltochtli. He sat in a luxurious sofa inside a private plane, the table in front of him had multiple luxurious food items.
"What are you looking at? " One of her secretaries, wearing glasses, is standing behind her, asking him.
"Something confidential. "
The secretary didn't say anything further.
"Alice isn't the pixie haircut girl. " The president thinks. "Then who is she? I also have to investigate Alice's past history to uncover this mystery. "
The president pulled out his sunglasses, putting them on.
"Listen. " He said to her secretary.
"Yes Mr President. " The secretary said softly, respectfully.
"When would we land in Washington? I am pretty bored from this journey"
"10 hours. "
"Ok. " The president took a glass of wine. "I thought of looking at Alice personally to see if she is the small, weird haircut girl. "
He murmured to himself in irritation.
"What a waste of time I did. "
"Listen. " The president gave the order to the secretary. "Don't wake me up until we land or I wake upup by myself."
"Understand Mr President. " The secretary said respectfully.
