She arched her brow in Surprise and slowly lowered it nodding gently "it's nothing,things like that happens".

He sighed and with a quick metamorphic change in composure "who is escorting you to the airport".

"I don't know,but Doctor volunteered".

"No"he shook his head vehemently "we need him around get someone else, remember you are going to the states so discretion is necessary".

"Okay sir".she avoided his sudden warm eyes and walked out.

Sarah sat pulling her shoes on,she had thought about the whole incident. Watching Maria in her own pool of blood,the unprecedented expression of sadness and anger from Lycan,the doctors tension she had allowed her feminine side to becloud her judgement and take the best of her.

Spending a few months with these people, celebrating their wins and lost with them had somehow drawn her to them. Though they were bad yet she suddenly saw them as family.

"Cut the crab Sarah,they are not family. They are bad eggs in the society which needs to be brought to book"she muttered as she stuck few cloths into her bag sighing angrily.

Family are people at the agency who awaited her return, family are the poor masses who lose their loved ones to the evil vices of these people so they cannot be counted as family.

"No Sarah,you are just too stressed that's why your head is such a terrible mess".her left hand held her forehead as she rocked gently on her feet.

"Sarah"the doc called as he opened the door putting only his head through.

She turned her face wearily and smiled weanly at him "am almost done doc,I will be with you in a few minutes".

His face creased into a worried frown "are you okay?".

"Yes, perfectly fine".

His eyes narrowed "you don't look quiet strong,do you want to go ahead with these? If not I can talk to Lycan to let you be for now. Don't feel pressurised by him".

She smiled appreciatively "it's no big deal,I can handle it and honestly I will just see it as a little holiday in the states".

He nodded while his hand roamed the pocket of his jacket trying to fish out a cigeratte,he found it and light it,he drew a puff and exhaled. "Will be waiting for you in the car".

Lycan sat smoking his pipe quietly,the men of the underground business sat thoughtful but none said a word. Lycan turned and surveyed each of the faces.

"Gentlemen,sorry for calling you out here like these. But there is a need for it".

"Do you need our help or something?"

He dropped his pipe and held their eyes "we need our help".
