Hollywood Zenith

I followed him and for the first time I laid eyes on the target. I activated the device which established the connection giving others access to execute the plan to use the zero day to drill inside every nearby cell phone.

But when I looked up, I saw something I never expected to see. For the first time in my life, I witnessed perfection. The target was also a young man with silver white hair and he was wearing a eloquent mask which hid his face.

From how the fabric of his matching clothes wrapped around his body, I could tell that he also had perfect physique. He was standing straight and was confident with himself, he was talking with a women who looked equally interesting.

She was wearing something 'sexy' which showed many parts of her body. Her tattoos and piercings were on full display, she too had similar hair as the man, it was neatly arranged in braids which hung around her neck perching on top of her shoulder.

The most handsome man and a beautiful girl, how should she say they looked perfect for one another. From the way the girl tried to touch and playfully smile at him, she knew she only had eyes for him. She was getting glances from many other people but for some reason she didn't even recognize their intentions.

If I was in her position would I act so carefree? Would I be able to do what she so effortlessly pulled off in front of so many people? Was this the elusive love that I tried so hard to understand?

For them, it seemed like they were the only two people in this huge venue. Was love really able to make people blind or was it something of a partnership that symbolizes two people against the world? I didn't have a clear answer to it.

But for a moment I felt some foreign feelings, was it jealousy or longing? I was baffled for a second, just in a month I was able to feel such different emotions without even trying? I vehemently told herself to stay logical. Whatever it was should never hamper my rational mind, it was illogical line of thinking.

I desperately tried to push these feelings deep inside my heart thinking that it must be because it's been a while I was out of that warehouse. Everyone knew feelings were mostly induced by different kind of hormones, it must be why my body was reacting like this.

I didn't even hear what the blonde man talked with him, I just stood behind them staring at the young man with interest. I was really curious what he actually looked if he took of his mask. There was no emotion in my eyes, just emptiness.

That's when I first noticed his gaze, I panicked inside but our eyes met. The whole world seemed to stand still. Those eyes, the brilliant green hue contained in them was something that I have never experienced before. I tried to look away but for some reason I kept looking at him like my life depended on it.

After so many years, I had become proficient in telling what others were thinking just looking in their eyes but his eyes seemed clear without a hint of malice, just plain curiosity. He seemed to sense I was feeling the same way. There was no judgement in his eyes which surprised me.

That's when my rational mind lost to some alien force as I began to feel something again. I could only theorize what it was but I knew it wouldn't be good for me. The last blow was his slight smile before he looked away from me. By now, my mind was a wreck.

I never dreamed about my future but at that moment, I really felt like floating in the air and felt something fizzy in my stomach. I instantly recognize these symptoms, it jolted me awake to what was happening.

If I have been as beautiful as his companion I could have dream about it but I must remain in reality. After what happened to me, why would someone like that would be interested in me? There were many phrases to describe someone like me but I liked the simplest phase, 'a broken person', It fitted me perfectly.

I thought I learned my lesson and finally won against my delusion but when I shook hands with him, my whole body trembled for that brief second. Why? was I all able to ask before we left. The rest of the trip back home left me puzzled before belief. I was mulling over my newfound feelings when we encountered something wrong with our mission.

We were inside but we faced several more tough firewalls and contingency plans. I didn't have time to go back to help the team before I was forced into that hell hole again. It seemed like those abusers were excited seeing me in such 'fine' dress. I knew I wouldn't be able to avoid them or they would start hurting my friends again. Discover hidden stories at empire

Like that, I was back into my own world desperately trying to forget tonight's events. Like I thought, the reality was cruel but it did give me some satisfaction of what's out there. For the second time in my life, I was interested in something other than the logical world, it was an unknown world which left me in a hopeful undertone.

As usual they were rough, I didn't have time to get out of my dress before they tore it off me hurting me in the process. They seemed more excited than usual which left me in dread, it would be a tough night.

That's when I saw something which left me speechless for a second time tonight. A shadow or more like a ninja? Before they could do anything, I saw the man rip them apart like some loaf of bread. Their bloods flew everywhere, even drenching me in the process but their painful screams and their begging somehow calmed my heart.

Within minutes the whole room was silent, I stood up thinking whether it was a right decision to thank the mysterious man but when I locked eyes with him again, I smiled a little. Green eyes, just like him, for some reason, I knew I can trust this man completely.

Maybe people's wishes do come true but I wouldn't hold my breath for it. If I calculated enough, I was confident in determining how much 'faith' was required to request one miracle like this. Yes, that would be my next agenda, something I could work during my leisure time.
