Secta

Simon wakes up from hospital bed in the northern side of peninsula border to see his teammates under oxygen and life support machines overseen by the Korean nurses.

He says to himself I cannot believe the dream.

"It was my late father taking me out of the darkness, his face was covered in scars and he was asking me to wake up."

"I still can hear his voice, wake up my son."

***

But before all came to a chance come to light we can follow our heroes journey.

Before she managed to arrive Simon Says went to a gym center and inside he entered a martial arts dojo for his first free lesson. He changed to black tracksuit bottoms and white t-shirt; he thought good sweat will help him avoid a stronger hangover.

Then he did ask for extra lessons to test his skills further because the group was for beginners. When he was training in private sparring the dojo master hit him in his back with bamboo straw to help him fight further, "attack attack", but he beat them up and bent them over their heads for apology suddenly to learn he broke a straw stick in a half and stuff it their backsides.

"Banzai!!!"

He was shouting and after he went out for cigarette leaving his new sensei suffer in dojo.

He drew on his hand three circles elongating middle one.

"I think it will be perfect Ikigai to them."

Later he in police custody while interrogated was asked what it is, and he replied, "it is my dick I whip you with".

He jabbed the station officer down to the floor and grabbed the running sergeant by his collar to smash his head so hard into the wall his hat fell off.

Now he has them tied down on the floor he starts kicking them and continues his investigation about the missing kid.

When Simon returns Ignacius asks him.

"How is their strong arm of the law?"

Simon drops his gym bag and before walks away he says, "They are still probably deeply in shat."

***

They welcome her into the Hansun apartment residency they rented for a couple days to complete the mission they were given.

She steps in the lift giving a shy smile to see Simon smiling full cheeks back. Ignacius winks at her and Mage keeps a close eye on her and then exchange expressions.

They walk in through the apartment door and Simon says to her he will personally show her room so she could settle in as quickly as possible and while she puts the bags down, he would make her cup of black coffee.

When she walks away.

Mage is holding his mobile phone in hand looking at the message, he just received.

Simon look at him while he is boiling the kettle he says, "I would love to have one of those super phones but my budget cannot allow it", Mage "we keep minimal contacts with the boss therefore we keep limited connection devices in our team."

Simon, "What is good online for us to know?"

Mage sits down, closes the phone and leans his head back to close his eyes.

"It is nothing much in our network, it just report came in the BBD Brit secret service has one gone missing after he decided to accept murder contract and kill one well known boxer. I think the agent 's name is Edward Hogson."

Simon pours in hot water for coffee to brew and places one cup close Mage.

"I think I was watching the news other day and they mention some sort of murder investigation."

Then Mage picks up the cup of coffee and starts walking to the end of the corridor, "I will take her coffee to her to see how she is doing and do not forget our codenames we only use because she has her own we do not know."

Simon, "Roger that and over or out", then he places his legs on the table and has his fifth cup of strong coffee today.

Mage walks up to her bedroom and gives a knock to her door, "Sakura-san it is Algimant-senpai and I am holding your coffee."

She opens her door, "arigato".

She uses her both hands to take coffee from him, "I would like to know where the washroom is because Vlad-senpai was so urgent I would see my bedroom. I was not able to know the apartment well."

He shows her around the penthouse suite apartment then he smiles.

"Apologies we were on low funds to have it with a swimming pool." She smiles too.

When she did have her hot shower, the guys were preparing a strategic team meeting and was completing data analysis of geographic and cultural objectives.

She walks in blue jeans white silk shirt and says she is happy to have the work done together.

"I am happy we can work together and I would like to be debriefed how much we are making progress in our case".

Team captain Mage looks across the living room dining table and says to her she could join a spare seat to join the data analysis.

"We have a belief it is an organized local crime syndicate responsible for kidnapping our target and they are be believed to make an attempt to ask a ransom in later date but we have no such time left to conclude therefore we are made to act in such quick way."

Sakura sits down and looks through Daily Bong newspapers archives the team had received from the data analysis team after their field Intel was complete.

"I see Aisel Hasel Goon and Sin On are the top suspects to be masterminds in the conflict to come."

Simon grabs a bit of his lunch sandwich and once he swallows with a cup of water, he takes another copy of the report they had received and pushes across the table to her.

"I think tonight we can raid their nightclub the Iron Quest to see if we can make vital intel points for us to complete on time."

Ignacius brushes his right arm across his brown beard.

"We are the Littland Organized Crime Group we have portrayed the other night and we should press the overseas mafia's attempts to have the race for control of the country."

Sakura looks to Ignacius, "How we proceed."

Ignacius, "we made clear the fictional crime boss and his henchman identity, for us to conclude Vlad is Jon Gi Sigis and Sin On is just a ghost to cause larger distortion."

Mage concludes the team meeting.

"Great, welcome to the northern European mind games, I hope you will like it."

Sakura stands up and makes a short bow.

"Arigato."

Mage suddenly stops to stand up,.

"My apologies, I almost forgot our communication codenames because we use pseudonyms while we work but we will need open channel names. I was instructed to inform you I am Live Wire, Vlad is Torpedo, Pioter is The Streets and Sakura is Wildflower."

***

While the daybreak was near the end and night life slowly creeps in the day, the NBL special delivery courier pulls over the back door to deliver the package addressed to Sin On.

The delivery man walks out the driver seat to open rear van door looking down the floor and walks to intercom to dial the doorbell call.

"I have a special delivery for mister Sin On therefore I would be happy to have him to sign the parcel today."

Then couple minutes later you can hear the steps taken leading down from office above the ground floor storage gate when delivery man picks up the metal bar near waste container and breaks down security camera; then man opens quickly the door inside grey gates for Simon to spray in Sin On face.

"I hate bad breath", when man quickly collapses Simon throws in the parcel and pulls in Sin On inside the van to escape.

Mage parked the blue van near the district the team was taken to enjoy nightlife the previous day by their new acquaintance Bibi Bit.

"I think Sakura-san, you had a great strategy for us just to locate the important target rather than causing a mess and waste of time clearing their night club."

Sakura was sitting inside the van with Ignacius and was talking about planning and concluding the post-intel action plan how they could proceed the rescue when radio makes a spark and they can hear Simon.

"The Torpedo has completed it and now heading towards The streets assembly plan."

When they hear loud vibrating sound after they start their vehicle.

Simon starts his van in a hurry and when he runs the speeding vehicle down the corner he presses the remote inside his pocket to cause a large explosion from a parcel he threw inside the nightclub back gates.

When he stops in the outskirts of Seoul in an old abandoned road around the corner from the cargo container, he radios through to Mage.

"The Torpedo has delivered a patient to the care home."

Mage opens the door of the shipping container.

"The visiting tour has just started."

They open the van doors and cover his head with a coffee bean bag then they gently lift him out the van holding onto his arms and legs carrying him inside the container to place him onto a chair.

Sakura uses rope around his legs and finishing the knot around his waist.

Simon pulls out a small jab needle and injects it in his neck. Ignacius leans back at the side of the container and looks in the direction the sun is setting down.

"Do you think it will work?"

Simon places the lid back on the needle and takes it back into his pocket.

"I am sure it will work Pioter, do you remember when I passed out during our mountain trek training and the big boss brought me back to life with the same chemical to complete the last 10 kilometers run with 20 kilograms bags over our shoulder?"

When Sin On starts to move his head and increases his breathing.

Mage without waiting a moment to see how he responds to adrenaline, pulls the bag over Sin On's head and shows him a picture of their mission target.

"Do you know this kid?"

Sin On opens one eye. "Why should I tell you anything!" Then Simon slaps him over his face. "I think you should learn manners before we make you speak."

Sin On takes a good look at Simon and spits on his shoe after Ignacius walks in. "I think we finished here, I just opened his mobile encryption and synchronized his GPS history data to conclude we are dealing with a kidnapper."

Sakura Uto without taking a second longer pulls out her small silver open and presses it twice open to stab Sin On in the neck.

Simon takes a look at her small clenched fist with a silver pen sticking out of it, "What a nice middle finger she has."

Mage start to take the ropes down and asks his team to help him to carry Sin On out the container.

They walk around the side of the container near a large hole they dig inside the ground, they place the Sin On unconscious on to the ground and Simon pushes him with his foot inside.

"I think you guys was doing a lot of labor while I was driving around club district.".

Mage takes a shovel and starts to throw the soil back into the pit, Ignacius walks up the pile of rocks piled up right next to the shovel and picks one up.

Mage asks Ignacius to stop with the huge rock in his hand.

"We must wait before he has white foam out his mouth to know the black crab poison is effective."

The moment he says about the poison the moment white foam start to float out Sin On's mouth but suddenly Ignacius throws the large rock on to his head making blood splatter over the ground.

Simon, "I was hoping you will not make me puke today Pioter".

Ignacius, "I just relieved his pain and misery although I know his nerves had gone numb three seconds after he had it but just in case."

Simon, "I think you have problems Pioter".

Mage, "No complaining and we all start pouring the soil back in."

When they finish with the shovels, they take off the overalls and place them in a bin bag, and then hop in their black SUV.

Mage, "I hope we all are happy with our nature sightseeing today?"

Simon, "Yay it was fun fact."

Sakura, "I named my weapon a little finger."

Simon, "I wonder how about us?"

Ignacius leans back in the leather passenger seat, "I would like to call my knife a War Saber."

Simon, "I know all about your walking stick saber."

He starts to laugh and before he finishes laughing Mage interrupts.

"I would call my handgun Daku, because I like to know I can carry at ease inside my jacket and I like it black."

Simon, "I would never think about naming a dead thing with the name but if you guys talk about the fighting spirit, I could have it named a Whistle."

Mage, "How would you justify it?"

Simon, "I think at the times when we did not have real technology, a police whistle was the only way to announce the crimes."

They start their Black SUV and drive off the bumpy ride across into a clear narrow road leading back to the capital.

When they park back at the Hansun Apartments Mage tells them, he will return the SUV and on the way back he will complete the report back to NATO Vice-Commander about today.

He steps out of his taxi and when walks in the apartment lounge he sits down in the one seat sofa, places his left arm at the wooden arm of the chair and comfortably places his spine in soft black leather.

He opens his mobile screen and sends a message in a dating app X-partner a message to girl.

"I think a lot about you and I made arrangements for us to go out on a date, my work is fine so far and I think I finish on time for a meeting at the cinema in two days."

Then a message comes back in X-partner, "I am happy to hear from you. I look forward to our lovely evening together."

Then he stands up and walks towards the lift, he opens the lift door with the resident card and walks in pressing the top floor button.

He comes back everyone relaxing on the sofa in silence, with their eyes closed like they would seek meditation relief.

"I never thought you guys are doing group nirvana seeking."

Simon turns his head, "I never did but I just enjoy a moment of silence."

Mage walks in to his bedroom and takes a fresh towel before he goes in a hot shower.

When they all had a good shower they were enjoying a cold bottle of water and relaxing in silence inside the living room on a large sofa.

Simon, "I think we know a very great tour operator around here."

The doorbell rings and when Ignacius opens the door Bibi Bit is standing outside smiling.

Ignacius asks him to wait for them to get ready in 30 minutes and they will meet across the street in residential gardens.

Simon walks in his room to look for a blue t-shirt with a grey shiny suit he bought from a street merchants tailor shop in Bangkok.

Mage puts on a grey t-shirt and brown slim linen suit and Ignacius pulls out his suitcase white t-shirt and soft cotton blue suit.

Sakura walks in her bedroom and changes to black silk underwear and bra. She looks for her grey cotton maxi dress, brown sandals and takes her black evening bag she is holding inside black pouch, her folding mobile, the top designer watch 'travel machine' and her flower scent perfume she sprays two times around her before she takes white band to place her hair together.

She takes a look in a mirror and is thinking she is cute already to go out with new friends.

When they close the apartment and take the elevator to the ground entrance into the hall Simon offers to give her his arm so she could feel comfortable walking out.

They walk through the lounge of the entrance with brown sofa chairs and silver marble floor through facade of exotic flowers and through a glass entrance into the path leading across the car park in residential gardens.
