Truth Lies Within
THE BEGINING: THE CHANGE
Shane
Please, please leave, I will do whatever you tell me to do Please leave me!!!
Why are you doing this to me, aren't I miserable enough, will you only stop if I die ??!!
V
Why you ask ? Then let me tell you.. YOU WERE A MISTAKE !!! Do you know how many losses I have to suffer because of you, if only your mother listened to me you wouldn't have to go through all this is you mother's fault for giving birth to you. Because of that my son started to waver from his goals.
I tell you love is a useless emotion, it will only bring destruction.
See, because of you my son died..
Shane
You really are cruel. (scoffs)
Your son died?? Isn't it reasonable enough, he couldn't stand the sight of you that's why he died
V
Look at you talking big..
What are you? just a useless piece of trash .
Shane
I swear that one day I will kill you with my own hands.
V
(Laughs) You!? Kill me !? I doubt that day would ever come.
Do you know why ? Because you are useless, Good for nothing !!
V
Now take her away
I don't want to see the sight of her
Shane
Leave me, don't touch me. (struggles)
They tie her up and throw her in the back of truck and drive away.
Shane
( Thinking) Shouting for help is useless I have to think of a way to untie myself and escape.
How will I do it though ( Looks around) A glass piece!!?? It's perfect.
(Unties herself) Now only one thing left. The door!
Sideman
Hey! Did you lock the door??
We can't fail this mission or both our heads will be chopped off.
Sideman 2
Relax!! What could that girl possibly do. She's injured, there is nothing she can do in that state.
Sideman
Still we shouldn't underestimate her, You know who her father is after all, what if she resembles her father?
Sideman 2
(Scoffs) Who? This fragile girl !? Stop thinking too much!!
Sideman
Still, I feel a bit uneasy. (Stops the vehicle) I'm gonna check and lock the doors.(Leaves)
Sideman 2
Hey dude !! Are you for real (Gets off too)
Sideman
(Opens the truck) OH NO!!!!
Sideman 2
What happened? Did she die or something ??
Sideman
No Stupid!! She escaped!!!
Sideman 2
She esc......!! What !? She escaped????!!
Sideman
That's why I tell you not to keep your guard down. Look what you've done!
Let's not waste any time now, since she's injured she wouldn't have gone far..
Tell our men to search for her. We can't let her escape..
V
What happened?? Did you finish the work this fast? As expected of you..
Sideman
Actually sir... she escaped....
V
WHAT!!!! she escaped!! Why do I even have you if you can't even handle a simple task.
V
I don't care what you do, but I want her dead or alive, OKAY!!
V
Don't come back until you find her!!!
Sideman
On the other side...
Shane
(panting) The main road.....I have to reach there so I can ask for help.... I can't let them find me..
As she reaches the main road a car comes towards her direction, as she tries to stop the car she faints in front of the car.
Two men in black comes out of the car and checks her condition...
Who are those people? Have they come to kill her....
Read it in next episode to find it out...
The Deal
One of the men inside the car comes out to check
Shane
(Muttering) ...... Please save me.... I beg you..
Sideman
Sir, The girl fainted, before she fainted she was asking for help, she also looks seriously injured. What should we do?
They take her to the hospital and start treating her...
Sideman
How is she Doctor ??
Doctor
She is fine, thankfully her injuries were only external, she can be discharged after a few days of observation
After few hours Shane wakes up
Shane
(Coming into consciousness slowly) My head hurts.... Where am I (getting up)
Master
You finally woke...And here I thought you would never wake up.
Shane
(Startled) Who are you? Are you one of his men??
Master
I don't know what you are talking about but whatever it is I am certainly not related to it
Shane
Then why did you save me ? Don't tell me its because you pity me...
Master
You are a smart young girl I see.. but there is no motive for me
Master
Me?? I am someone no one can afford to mess with
Shane
Are you that powerful?? (doubting)
Master
(scoffs) Are you perhaps looking down on me??
Master
Now, don't waste my time here do you have any guardian to pick you up? Mom? or Dad?
I am busy and have to go, and yeah, I already paid the medical bill so don't bother with it.
Shane
(scoffs) Guardian? They probably won't even care if I died
Master
Hey kid!! Don't waste my time here ok? If you have some family problems I don't care , just tell me the damn number so that I can call and tell them to come here ( almost losing his cool)
Shane
Are you good at fighting ??
Master
(can't believe his ears) Are you talking about me? It seems you still don't know me!! I am the most dangerous person !!! Ok
Shane
If I go back to my house they will probably kill me, I can't let them do that.
I want to take revenge and also save my mother
Master
You are very ambitious for a little girl!!
Shane
Please help me become stronger
I will do whatever you tell me to
Master
Anything?? Are you sure ??
Shane
Yes anything as long as I save my mother and take my revenge
Master
You really don't know what you are getting yourself into..
Master
Fine then, Until you get stronger and take your revenge I will protect your mom at all cost.
Master
But until that day comes you will have to work for me until then
Shane
Is this some kind of a deal ??
Master
Well, basically yes
you will have to work for me until you get your revenge.
Shane
What will happen after I take my revenge?
Master
It's up to you, you can continue to stay or also leave too
Shane
(Thinking deeply) I have a question?
Master
Shoot it out, but make sure this is the last one
Shane
Why would you make a deal like this
Shane
It doesn't suit you at all
Master
Hmm... You'll see
Now rest, my men will come to pick you up..
Shane
And also I want a new identity...
Master
(While leaving) Don't worry all of that would be taken care of once you get discharged.
Focus on getting well if you want be stronger
Shane
(In mind) Don't worry mom I will save you soon, hang on until then and don't worry about me
I will get revenge for everything they've done (determined)
To be continued in next episode
The New Beginning
After a few days Shane gets well and gets discharged.
There is a knock on the door..
Sideman
It's me, master told me to escort you to his office.
Shane
Wait a minute let me get changed
After she gets dressed she was escorted to the car and they are on the way to the office
In the car, while driving..
Shane
Hey, Can you tell me what your master do..?
Sideman
His company makes Guns and tools that are needed for the war
His company mostly supplies these to the soldiers
Shane
I don't understand, how does this make him powerful..??
Sideman
Well, he was one of the world's top 1 skillful agent before he retired and went to underworld
Shane
World's top agent??(Thinking)...(gets shocked on remembering) You mean he is The ONE!!!!
oh my gosh I can't believe (on the brink of crying due to happiness)
Sideman
(Gets shocked on seeing her cry, because he never saw someone being happily crying after hearing his name, people usually tremble before him) You are one of a kind I see....
Don't cry
Shane
I can't believe... Wait but why did he join the underworld and what made him retire when he was on his best
Sideman
Well, I cannot disclose it since you are not one of our members, its confidential.
Shane
(gets sulky) huff.. what?(angry) Where is the office we've been driving for the past 45 minutes
Sideman
It's a bit far since it's located away from the city
(feeling bad) if you are curious about Master you can ask him directly, I'm sure he will tell you since he chose you especially
Shane
Chose me?? For what??
Sideman
(nervous) Nothing, I mean he saved you after all
Shane
What are you even talking about??? Tell it in a way I can understand
Sideman
Oh.... nothing I will just keep my mouth shut for now..
After a few minutes they reach the company.
Sideman
We've reached (gets off and opens the door for Shane)
Shane
(in a annoyed tone) Finally I thought we would never reach
Sideman
Are you mad at me??
Shane
No why would I be, I certainly know my place, how would someone as lowly as me have the guts to be mad at a mafia Personal assistant (in a sarcastic tone)
Sideman
(In mind) She definitely is mad at me!!! Great!!(Sighs) It will not be easy working with her I hope boss wouldn't let her in my care!!! Her mood changes faster than a page
Sideman
(Comes to reality) Oh my God! Where did she go? Boss told me to take good care of her , I definitely cannot lose her.
Sideman
(Sees her walking inside the building) Hey wait for me do you even know where to go
stop right there
Shane
(Controlling her anger) Then stop daydreaming and come fast, I've been calling you for the past few minutes but you were not even responding
Sideman
I'm sorry, I'm usually not like this
Shane
Did I even ask you about that, I don't even care..
They get inside the lift and goes to the top floor which is the 20th floor
Shane
The company is really huge, it doesn't seems like that from the outside though
Sideman
Yeah that was the main intention, Boss didn't want to attract anything because of the building
They reach the 20th floor and he shows her the Boss's office and goes away
Shane
Wow!! It's so huge, I've never seen anything like this, I don't know about mafia but he sure is freaking rich
Master
You seem to be enjoying a lot young lady, if you've finished enjoying lets get down to business
Shane
Oh...Yeah... right (blank)(almost forgot the main purpose coming here)
He takes the contract which is on his table and gives it to her
Master
Here is the contract, If there are no objections you can sign..
Shane
What about my identity??
Master
Don't worry about that when you get adopted your name can be changed along with your identity
Shane
ADOPTED??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN??(shocked)
Master
Don't be surprised it's for your own good
Master
I can protect you as long as I am with you but what will happen if I'm not around. That's why you should be adopted and it will also make your past dissappear
Shane
Why won't you be around ??
Master
I have business overseas so I have to go away often
Shane
How is me being adopted will protect me
Shane
Because the one who is adopting you is not some ordinary family, they are one of the most powerful family, no one would dare to speak up against, you new identity will also be protected because no one will and can question them about you
Shane
(after thinking long) What about my mom??
Master
Don't worry about that, her safety is secured once you sign the documents
Shane
Can I meet her for one last time ??
Master
No you can't, if those people sees you it'll be difficult for even my men to protect you
Shane
Can I atleast see her from distance one last time? Please I don't know when I'll be seeing her again
Master
(sighs)Fine I will tell men to bring you there but you can't stay long it'll be a big hassle if they see and you also have a flight to catch.
Shane
Thank you!!! but what flight are you talking about ???
Master
Do you know you talk too much, you still haven't signed the contract ok. I will tell you the details afterward
Shane
Oh well the contract is signed now here, and I tend to talk a lot when I'm nervous that's it
Master
Nervous???? You?? It doesn't seem like that,You look very comfortable like you've been here many times
Shane
I guess then I'm a very adjustable type of person...you know...
Master
Whatever...(calls his assistant in his office)
Sideman
Yes sir did you call me ?
Master
Take her to see her mother for one last time and remember not to get caught and bring her to airport after that I'll meet you there.
Sideman
(turns towards her) Let's go
Shane follows him out of the office but while going out something catches her eyes...
Shane
Wait a minute (In mind..) This p..picture.....??? Why... what is the mea..meaning of this (surprised) ( can't believe her eyes)
What did she see?? What made her so surprised???
