Chapter Twenty-Eight: Missing puzzle pieces...

"And you didn't tell us this? You know we could have been killed back there? Not only that but for something you told us to do. What else are you hiding?", Ava shouts voice booming from off the doors of the car. Fuming with anger she wastes no time and continues slaughtering Cindy with her tongue.

"You know one thing Cleo said that I really have to agree with we are all Pathetic. I can't believe I followed your dumb orders. You yourself don't even know what's on those devices. All I know it's something that Amelia recorded when she was alive and it's something about Damien. I'm so foolish it didn't even click. Pathetic. We are all Pathetic. You know I was slightly sorry for you back there, but I'm starting to wonder if that was necessary because you might still be after us, and if not you. Our lives are still in danger because Damien and James are still out there. Mark too, God damn it! I don't even know if he's a suspect or a culprit in this mess-"

"AVAGAY", Christopher shouts at her spinning around in his seat. She had been ravishing Cindy for the last ten minutes if not fifteen. Ever since Cindy had disclosed her opinions and the details of why they needed the devices. Ava haven't come off her back. Most of the things Christopher clearly agreed with, however, he couldn't afford any more time to slip through their hands. They had bigger fish to fry.

"I know your upset. I'm just as upset as you"

"Clearly you're not. You are not the one who nearly died. You are not the one who was draw into this mess without your consent. You didn't have to face those lashing. You didn't have to face Clinton. You weren't the one knocked out. You didn't find those devices. You aren't the one who is confused, hurt, and in pain. To hell you are not the one feeling what I am feeling. The last time I checked you were the one who dragged me into this. You confessed it all! You were the one who nearly killed me. You were the one who introduced me to these people. Yet still here you are telling me you're just as upset as me. You honestly don't know what you are saying then", she breathes out.

Her voice breaks as she looks into the eyes off the one, she says she loves. She sees him break by her last sentences. His wall that he had held up most times crumbling to the floor, as he looks down on Avagay. His mouth open and closes, as he tries to form words of his own; his bustled-up feelings betray him slamming his mouth shut.

Ava stares at him world crashing down, this was her last chance and she ruined it. She hopes that he says something, just something. She wishes to come up with something, anything just to make it better. However, nothing could make this right, could it? She opens her mouth to speak; Christopher turns around leaning back into the seat as if he could blend into it. Ava looks at his head, sighs, then looks out the window.

Cindy has kept silent all this time, not bothering to utter a word at Ava's confession. Afterall, all what was said was true. Not a thing wrong. She was just as pathetic as them believing all her uncle said, without suspicion. She obeyed his every command like a dog and had no ideas if her own. Pathetic. If it wasn't for him, she would have anything to feel guilty about, neither would her two agents. Matter of fact maybe she wouldn't even have an agency of her own. She always wanted to be a nurse, helping those who are in need. Her uncle a doctor she went to him for advice. However, he took this opportunity to bring her against her father. He introduced the thought of having an agency, to her. Claiming that she could help many persons like this, not only in her country. She fell for his trap lying in his manipulative hands.

He had been the one fueling the agency till this point. Allowing Cindy to develop her trust in him. As she thought that he would forever be in her side. She even looked up to him, more than her dad. She thought her dad despised her. Bluntly dismissing her thoughts off establishing a new agency. Cindy had thought they probably could work together. However, Clinton insisted on one agency. It didn't hurt to just have one, neither did it hurt to have two. However, he thought one would be more manageable, and it could be a family thing.

Under the influence of her uncle Cindy grew tired of Clinton's stubbornness. Especially since she was promised funds from Damian to start the business. She dared herself to run an agency better than her dad every would, think that she was doing the right thing.

That was until Amelia started to investigate on Damien because of a mission. It wasn't a task given to her by her superiors. She just wanted to for her own clarification.

Damian grew to dislike this ordering Cindy to send as many agents as possible to destroy Xmas. She followed his orders like a pathetic fool, as if she had been waiting all her life to be given something to do without thinking much of it. Just like a dog does when it receives orders from its master. She sent agents there, however the mission turned out unsuccessful. It backfired on her killing most of her agents.

For this she grew to hate her father more. She thought he wanted her gone and didn't think she had a right to accomplish her goals. Her uncle ensured that she understood this, his lying manipulative tongue working in agreement with his gentle smile, acting as if all was alright.

Acts upon acts happened. Crushing both agencies, until one day it just stopped. Cindy was left puzzled to how it just died down. Couple years passed and it was back again. Starting with a rumor about a snoop in the agency. Cindy grew furious, however Damian reassured her everything would be fine, since he already knew what had happened. Christopher's father had learnt about his wrong doings through James - his partner in crime. He threatened to kill James if he didn't get rid of Chevone. So, he did just that. It's heart breaking how so many have been hurt because of this, yet still so few knew it's his doing. Half of this story isn't even known by three persons. He, Damian, ensured that. Not so much of James, he is more of a carefree creep.

Whatever it is to make him lie under the covers that was exactly what he was going to do. That's why Amelia was trailed after, at one point by Damien himself. She was skilled though and got away, although many thought of her dead. Even the legend 'Damian'. However, her research was soon discovered, and as before Damien ensured that all that knew about it was killed. He thought Stewart new something about it too, so that's why he attacked him that night. However, he didn't take him away, since Xmas was also after him.

The agency had gotten furious, since many of its agents had gone missing then reported dead. The upper heads sworn Stewart had something to do with it. Clinton too, however not so much. Since he trusted Amelia and Amelia trusted Stewart, so he had a little trust in Stewart, himself. However up on remembering that Amelia refused him because of Stewart he started to lash him because of his own feelings. He was still needed, however, for questioning, and so he was taken alive. Avagay was left behind, though Clinton didn't want it to be so. He always saw Amelia when he looked at her. Which brought up many emotions, causing him to abuse her in many ways. Damian thought that Stewart had been dealt with, and everything would be fine. However, that's when some years later Christopher's dad ruined it all and died leaving his son to cry in pain.

Many of these stories are left untold. Most of them only known by Damien himself. He has not much faith in James, however he was handy. Just as how every other agent was and is. That's why he used them to try and get the evidence to cover his tracks. Whenever he was done with them or they learnt a bit too much he would dispose of them, as a usual assignment. All of them failed, only one ever nearly went through and that was with Chris. He ordered James not to kill him, for he wanted to use him again. However, Christopher ran away. James didn't care much about it being the careless fool he is. However, a dog to Damien he was ordered to find him and bring him back.

Damien found out about Avagay too, researching her background he realized she was a usefully asset, and that's how she was placed on the agenda. After a few months of failure to get the two back at HQ Daniel grew weary, afraid that someone else might find out his doings. He became arrogant threatening James that he would behead him if his mission wasn't accomplished sooner. He also informed Cindy, and she agreed and obeyed, like the pathetic fool she is.

Cindy and everyone had been an asset a stepping stool for Damien up until now. He doesn't feel any regret to anything. If anything, he's more grateful that he has pathetic fools, who he can order and disclose certain information to without any questioning. Dogs who wait for orders, from him as if he's always right.
