A way to find

Zoya:"Kai what are you talkin about?, what darkness?, my dear you should get some rest first. I and Nico will look for Yasmine"

Kai:"No Zoya , listen to me , we just have to find a pathway to reach the darkness.... Yasmine is stuck there...we can find her"

(Kai was desperate, she didn't know how to explain her visions to Zoya)

At this point Zoya was becoming really worried because, already Yasmine was missing and Kai's condition was also not helping her.

Kai: " Zoya its the darkness.... maybe its a parallel universe or something... its dangerous out there...we must find her...yasmine is alone...its not good"(Kai was becoming hysterical)

Zoya was in a state of helplessness because Kai was that one person whom Zoya could rely on all situations, but now she was feeling all alone and who ever is causing this for them is gonna burn in hell...Zoya is gonna make sure that...

(Zoya was still trying calm Kai out.. thats when...)

ring ring ring..📱

Zoya:"hello"(Zoya answered the phone with a serious tone)

Office worker: "Zoya Mam, You have to come and see this!!..."(his voice was not calm)

Zoya:"Yeah we will reach the Empire in 10 minutes, you guys wait there"

Office worker: " Okay Mam"

Zoya:" Kai listen to me... whatever this darkness you are talking about...we can search for it later..but for now we have to focus on the reality..you have to get yourself together"( Zoya eyes were pleading)🥺

(Kai nodded her heard and wiped her tears away) she straighted her posture and made her vision straight....

from the look on her face, Zoya felt relieved that Kai was all okay now...but at the same time Zoya was also afraid...because now Kai was not afraid.. her face showed agony...the serpentine inside has taken charge.

...So whatever darkness is haunting her......

...is in danger....

The first thought that came into Zoya's mind was to leave Kai in her apartment and leave to the office but she didn't know what all were happening around her, such uncertainity told her mind not to do that..

So Zoya decided to take Kai to the Empire with her.

(The Empire)

As Kai entered the Empire with Zoya following her behind, all the employees stood up and greeted them. Even though this is a daily routine but today was different. All the employees had a worried expression on their faces.. they knew something bad was about to happen..

suddenly the Worker that called them earlier rushed towards them..

Office Worker: " Mam this way..in Yasmine's office.."

Kai: "Yeah okay"

(Yasmine's Office had no walls instead it was of Glass, When Kai and Zoya viewed it from the outside, the table inside still had all the files open, even her laptop was not shut down)

(Both of them were hurting inside but none of them showed it on their faces, because this time they were not ready to fail ...they had to find their friend.)

Zoya: "Did someone Kidnapped Yasmine? Those competitor bastards have no limit to thier actions! its possible"(Zoya spoke with anger in her voice)

Kai: "You're in a way correct.. (Kai had a serious tone)Our competitors are capable of such actions and if it is them then they are making a huge foolish mistake, but Zoya be realistic.. no one saw anyone sneeking in.."

Office Worker: "Yes we have checked the CCTV Footages no sign of anyone. Nothing suspisious"(he spoke with concern)

Kai:"Besides all the materials in the table are still open and there is no sign of any kind of forced actions, see.."(kai pointed towards the table).

Zoya was considering Kai's words and still thinking about any other possibilities that may have occured.

Thats when they heard something from the Office...it was...the sound of..

Burning?

Zoya: "A fire at this time? how is that even possible?"

(she was annoyed and confused)

The office worker ran towards exist to call out for help..

he was yelling to the employees to bring the fire extingishers...

Kai and Zoya: rushed towards the office door to analyse what was happening..

But when they opened the door

...the whole game changed......
