Chapter 8
One last attempt!
    She was not sure why she could not forget those blue eyes. The scene was repeated many times in her memory. How she was hanging from the window, fighting for dear life and the jerk of her shawls and his handsome features filled with shock and interest. Her eyes must have had the same expression too.
    He was a man in mid-forties and about 6 feet tall with a masculine body. His ginger hair was disheveled and slightly curly. His face was broad from the head, gradually tapering towards the chin, like an inverted triangle. His mouth was half-open with shock and his thin lips were making an O. his nose had the scars of glasses although he was not wearing one now. All his features were attractive, but she just could not forget the eyes, they were so expressive and mysterious at the same time as if they were conveying something and hiding it simultaneously.
    A sudden desire gripped her. It was totally insane, of course. Although she was officially retired, but she thought that she is still capable of freeing this world from the shackles of injustice, slavery, hypocrisy and brutality. What if I commit one more murder then he might come after me again she thought desperately. Her thoughts were running on the dangerous track and she realized it soon as the memory of mother returned to her.
    Life is not a game and least of a game of gamble. Following your heart is important but the brain is not a useless organ either, her mother used to tell her.
    But it is so easy to listen to the heart. It never misguides anyone, I am sure. It is so easy to let go. She would always reply back not understanding why her mom was so cautious. She was a young girl then and did not have the experience of her mother.
    The things which are easy to do never leads to the truth, dear. Her mother would say.
    Years later when she had agreed to the old man’s proposition, her mother returned to her. She was scared and used to cry a lot. The old man had found her in the streets where she had taken up begging so she could remain safe from Mr. Theodore and it was easy for her to look for daughter as a beggar.
    She had consoled her mother for a month and gradually, she started to recover and heal from the past wounds. When her mother regained the ability to talk and understand, she informed her about her decision to join the old man’s army to kill the people who practice evil acts in the society and take the revenge of her father’s murder. Her mother immediately lost her temper and a fresh lecture of are you out of your mind, you will be killed, it is too dangerous, you are very young and this is immoral started which ended on emotional blackmailing but she had already made a pact with the old man and there was no backing away now.
    Well, I have done my duty now and I should not exceed it further. I will get back to the mother but before that I must find the old man.
    After everything was clear between them the old man had disappeared. He stopped visiting her and all the messages were conveyed either through letters or cell phones. Her training began and different people trained her for different kind of crisis and situations, but the old man never came in front of her anymore. She tried to reach him but failed to do so. He had clearly ordered his crew to not bother him with the petty issues anymore and that he is working on something bigger.
    I must find him now. He has answers to so many of my queries as well as to his own mysteries. I want to know who he is and I have a right to know so too! She thought. One last quest before the return!
    She immediately started using her connections to check on his location. Even after several tries and days of hard work she failed to trace his location. She decided to look for him at every place she could think of. Then she suddenly remembered that he had once said something about the loveliness of Venice. She decided to check Italy first.
    She
