Falling In Love : I Love You, Today And Forever Chapter 124

"What the hell was that!!" Joshua bellowed in rage. To say he was shocked would be an understatement, he was beyond shocked. The man who had trained Noah, Ian and him was dead and he was killed in a gruesome manner. Jo was overcome with grief, rage, shock and all other emotions which he couldn't control.
Noah too was having the same feeling. His blood was boiling, he never expected his mentor to have been murdered. Wiping the lone tear that slid down his cheek, he called out to Joshua.
"Jo, can you do a voice recognition on the man? I hope we can find who he was at least if not for the killer."
Noah's words brought Joshua out of his thoughts. "Wait a second."
He typed a series of codes and the video started playing again. "Alvis, perform voice identification." He ordered.
"Yes, Master." The AI bot replied and soon the hologram screen was filled with pages and pages of codes. It took more than ten minutes for the voice recognition to complete.
"Master, I have found the results."
The screen then showed the names and photos of two people whose voices were heard on the video. One of them was their mentor while the other was the person who their mentor had held in a deadlock before he was shot by a mysterious person.
"Get me the details of Kane Bright." Kane Bright was the man who was being followed by their mentor in the clip.
"Yes, Master." The AI ran for another few minutes before Alvis started speaking.
"Name: Kane Bright. Previously known as Liam Mason, Colin Stark to name a few. Age: 47 Date of Birth: 27 November 1972 Occupation: Doctor Working at: Previously worked at Good City Clinic. Current workplace not available. Marital Status: Not married Address: Not registered."

"Stop," Joshua instructed and the robot stopped speaking the next second.
"I know this man," Joshua observed Kane's picture for a long time to recollect where he had seen him. "Yes, I remember now."
"Do you know him?" Noah asked looking at him intently while Ronnie remained silent. The number of times he had met his boss's mentor could be counted with his fingers and every time he was left dumbfounded by the man's agility and skills. Though he had not been trained by him, Ronnie had come to admire him eventually.
Also, he did not know his name. Not only Ronnie even Ian, Noah, and Joshua did not know their mentor's name. He did not tell them and they did not ask him. Though the AI had found out his name to be Theo Williams, they realized that it was not his original name. He changed his name every few days and for what reasons they did not know.
"When you were in London, a piece of news was broadcasted. It was a sting operation performed on the doctors in a small hospital called Good City Clinic and this man named Kane was also in the video. It looked like he was the head of the clinic or something like that."
"You have got to be kidding me," Noah said after listening to him. He knew his mentor was trying to find the people involved in the organ trafficking crime just like Aria's father. But he did not know that he was keeping an eye on a person named Kane.
"Guess who was the one to performed the sting operation?."
"Who?" Noah raised his eyebrows waiting for his answer, but only received a smile in return.
"Don't tell me...." Noah asked, his eyes wide in surprise.
"Yes, it is your beloved sister-in-law."

"Wow." This time Ronnie too was surprised. He had not heard of his Madam's sister yet. After listening to Joshua's words he concluded that his Madam's sister was an extraordinary woman too.
"After the video of the sting operation was released, this man named Kane had gone into hiding," Joshua stated trying to process his thoughts.
"Since this pen drive was in the possession of Oliver West, when do you think Mentor died?" Noah queried, deep in thought.
"Does that mean he died somewhere around the time we took Mr. West with us?" Ronnie voiced, looking forth between the two men.
"No way. Alvis, find out how old the footage is."
"Yes, Master." It took them no less than two minutes to find out that the video was shot three years ago, just two days before they saved Oliver and took him with them.
"Darn it." Noah was seething in anger. His mentor was dead long back and he did not even know about it. He was filled with remorse and grief. Their hopes of finding him alive were gone. In fact, their hopes of even finding his body were gone. His body would have decomposed by now leaving only the bones that nobody knew where they were lying.
The room was filled with silence, each having their own rumination. They left the lab and went to the living room. Not in the mood to speak, they sat down silently. At that moment, Noah's phone dinged. It was a message from Aria.
'Did you reach home safe? Good night. Take care.'
Her message eased him a little, clearing his thoughts. They had to do something, the situation was going out of hand. The person who he wanted to save desperately was gone. So, now he did not have any fear in executing his plans. He might as well start with them.
"What shall we do now?" Noah asked suddenly. "Jo, can you see if Kane has made an appearance somewhere after the clinic incident. We might find out where he is hiding."
"I could do that." Joshua nodded.
"Ronnie, find all the people who were involved in this incident, nurses, doctors, all the hospital staff. I want them at any cost. Remember no innocent must be harmed."
"Yes, Boss."
"Jo, help him gather the information."
"What are you going to do?" Joshua questioned absent-mindedly, his mind still reeling the way his master was killed. Even to him, who had dealt with a lot of blood, the scene looked brutal.
"I am going to join hands with Ivy to try and bring all the hospitals who are presently involved in this matter. Those bastards may be hiding their crimes from the public, but not from me."
"How are you going to do that?"
"It's easy. I am going to find all the doctors who became rich overnight. This cannot be done without any shady dealings."
"That could be a possibility."
"Boss, just a small question." Ronnie raised his hand like a small kid.
"Yes?"
"Do you want your grandfather to know about your mentor's death?" Ronnie asked slowly. He had heard from his boss that they were quite close though they were not related by blood.
"Not yet. I will reveal it after I find the murderer, until then I hope he does not get to know about it." Noah's eyes were blazing with fire ready to burn anybody who would stand in his way.
"Fair enough." Joshua and Ronnie agreed.
"Be prepared. Things might go out of hand."
