His Devious Rule

The fog in the passageway was getting denser. The driver named Mac noticed it first. Initially, he was able to see the path in the mist. Then his vision was blinding slowly.

He rolled down the window to alert, 'White smoke.' but sensed something moving towards him. Suddenly a leather-gloved hand covered his mouth and another hand reached the back of his head. Before he could struggle, the owner of the hands twisted his head and snapped his neck.

Those hands slowly leaned the driver's head away from the steering wheel. Then the hands opened and closed the front door of the car.

The leader of the team called the driver when he heard the car door closing, "Mac…"

The officers noticed a man coming out of the dense fog. The man was dressed completely in black excluding his deep set of eyes. They couldn't get a clear view due to fog but noticed him lifting his right palm in surrender and pointed to the lady with his left hand. The officer realized he was saving Anya from the kidnapper.

The man in black went to the leader who was finding it hard to handle unconscious Anya with a knife. The leader was leaving her on the ground when he heard, "Let me hold her for you." A dark authoritative low voice sounded behind him.

"Yes." The leader assumed him as a driver without sensing the change in tone.

The man in black wrapped his left arm around Anya's back and snuck his right hand under her knees. He straightened his back while the leader moved the knife at her neck very closely. As soon as the leader's eyes turned to officers, the man shifted and swiftly kicked the leader in the back of the knee.

"Ahhh…" The leader slipped on the road, hitting his knee to the ground.

The officers took the chance of disturbance and shot the leg of the bald man and the hand of the leader. Kyle took a few seconds to come to his senses and ran towards the other side of the car.

The officers witnessed the man in black vanish into the fog with Anya in his arms. Then they realized Anya was kidnapped again.

"Anya… Anya...." Kyle looked in the car and around the man but didn't see her.

Kyle held the collar of the leader and demanded, "Where is Anya?" His eyes were wide and bloodshot for not finding her. Mainly he was guilty.

The leader held his bleeding hand while his face contorted in pain. He looked at Kyle who became a tiger due to the officers around and scorned. "Coward."

Kyle pushed the man aside and ran around in the fog with another officer. He hysterically screamed her name, "Anya… Anya..." but he couldn't see anything in the white fog.

He suddenly felt a tug at his arm, The officer dragged him saying, "Mr. Reynolds, get in the car."

Then Kyle noticed an officer stayed back to clean the mess while the other three officers already left in the black car.

Kyle asked while he helped the officer to dump the three men in the truck of the car. "Where is Anya? Is she safe?"

The officer responded with a straight face, "Miss. Owen is kidnapped… Again."

The officer took the driving seat and Kyle sat on the shotgun seat. Seeing him fine with the bruises, the officer didn't choose the hospital. Seeing him trembling, "Ms. Owen has the President's GPS chip. She will be fine, Mr. Reynolds."

Kyle nodded. He wasn't sure what he was more worried about. Anya's life or Harper Johnson attacking them again. Harper wouldn't fall quiet until he gets what he wants, so Anya's life would be in danger until she hands the original copy of the information to Harper.

The officers drove towards the secret training base for the interrogation of those kidnappers and Kyle. The situation was in a state they couldn't trust anybody.

Why was Anya unconscious but not Kyle? So Kyle was a prime suspect.

--------

At President's mansion,

Bernard was like mercury. His hand was so swift to answer the call, it didn't even ring once. He suddenly recalled he was getting impatient and others could note the changes in his behavior. So he stayed calm.

"President Collins, we have got Kyle Reynolds. He is being shifted to the secret base for questioning." The raspy voice sounded from the other end.

Bernard's overall aim was to avoid bloodshed. So he cared about Kyle's life too but his concern was Anya. So he didn't bother asking how Kyle was doing, "What about Anya? Is she safe?" Against his agitation, he sounded very calm.

"Err… President Collins, as per the team, Ms. Owen was unconscious. While confronting, another man kidnapped Ms. Owen." The officer reported promptly.

"What!!?" Bernard's flustered tone was raw. "How could you lose the chance of saving her?" He demanded. He didn't want to reach Harper Johnson who would put up unreasonable requests.

The officer was taken aback, he added more words hoping it could keep the man calm, "President Collins, Ms. Owen is wearing the blazer. Our team is tracking the GPS."

"I am coming to the secret base." His unyielding voice sounded. He wanted to hear a clear report on how they could save one but not another. He had some questions for Kyle to ask in person. He wouldn't be surprised if more of the civil servants were bought by Harper Johnson other than Kyle.

Bernard was cent percent sure Kyle purposefully took the car with Anya. As if signaling the observer which car Anya was in. Bernard had thought Kyle loved Anya, he could never put Anya in danger and keep the location of the hard disk safe. Henceforth Anya wouldn't be caught by Harper's eyes. Bernard was proven wrong and they found the mole. They just need to find evidence to prove.

The irony was Bernard still believed he was doing it for everyone's good.

The officer at the other end of the call, hesitantly interjected, "B… but Sir…"

Bernard hung up the call without listening to the other end. He strode out of the study room, hoping Anya to be safe from Harper's hand.
