Novel Full 225 225. All Star Mall
“Who are you?” Kizy replied, her voice sounding fully alert.
“I was just passing by and found this phone ringing on the ground, so I picked it up.” The man replied.
“Where are you?” Kizy asked, even more troubled by the man’s reply as she knew that Markus wouldn’t be this careless, especially when it came to his phone.
“I am near the All Star Mall.” The man replied impatiently.
Kizy paused for a moment, remembering that All Star Mall was one of the malls owned by Markus. But what made her confused was why would he visit it so late.
“Will you please mind waiting there for ten minutes? I will be there to retrieve the phone.” Kizy asked, already rushing towards the door after hearing the impatience in his voice.
Of course this wasn’t a wise move, but she didn’t want to think about anything else and just go and watch everything by herself before coming to a conclusion.
“Okay. But not more than that, I have to go somewhere urgently.” The man said, his voice complaining.
“Yeah yeah. I will be there in ten minutes.” Kizy said and hung up.
She immediately ran outside the house, asking the driver to take out the car.
“Lady boss, you are going somewhere?” Suddenly Jack who was standing near the gate came ahead.
“Yeah.” Kizy said and was about to climb inside when she suddenly paused.
“Where is Alex?” She asked.
“He will be nearby.” Jack said, confusion written all over his face.
“Call him immediately. We have to go somewhere right now.” Kizy said.
She was about to go alone to the mall when she suddenly thought it was better to take Jack and Alex along as backup.
She didn’t know if the man talking on the phone was honest or not. What if this was another trap? Thus to be on the safer side, she made the last moment decision to take Jack and Alex together with her.
And Jack didn’t need to be told twice. Thus he instantly called Alex and both of them along with Kizy rushed to the All Star Mall.
She was still halfway when she received a call from Joel.
“Young Miss, I checked the CCTVs. Boss was seen going towards the Main highway.” Joel replied in a hurry.
‘Main highway. Does that mean he really came to All Star Mall?’ Kizy thought, knowing that this route was the which they needed to take if they were going to All Star Mall from the company.
“Joel can you please check CCTV near the All Star Mall? I am already headed in the same direction. Some person found Markus’s phone lying there near the mall.” Kizy said.
“What?!!” Joel exclaimed before immediately realising how he reacted.
“Sorry young miss. I will check that immediately and let you know.” Joel said and Kizy ended the call.
Soon they reached the All Star Mall. Kizy was about to climb out of the car when Alex stopped her.
“Wait Lady boss. Let us check the surroundings first.” Alex said.
“No wait. Just give me the gun. I will go by myself. I just hope that the man wouldn’t have left.” Kizy said.
Alex and Jack looked at each other before giving a gun to Kizy and climbing out of the car along with her.
They had already heard whatever Kizy said to Joel, thus they were protecting Kizy completely.
Kizy called Markus’s number once again after arriving in front of the mall, hoping that everything would be alright and nothing bad would happen, plus wished that the man would be patient enough to wait for her.
“Hello.” The man answered on the second ring.
“I have reached the mall. Where are you?” Kizy asked.
“I am standing in front of the second entrance. Can you please arrive faster. I have to go.” The man said, his voice sincerely urgent.
“Yes. I will be there in a moment.” Kizy said while walking towards the second entrance, signalling Joel and Alex to quitely follow behind at a distance.
“Okay.” The man said without hanging up, hoping Kizy would arrive soon and take the phone away.
Kizy kept her right hand on her jacket pocket, ready to remove the gun when required while she was holding the phone with her left hand.
She took a right turn and saw a man looking at his wrist watch while talking on the phone.
“Are you wearing white shirt?” Kizy said while waving her hand towards the man.
“Yes.” The man said while turning to look towards both sides and found Kizy waving.
He too walked towards her, already in a rush to leave.
“Thank you for picking this phone.” Kizy said, sincerely thanking the man for picking the phone and waiting this long.
“Yeah. I will leave now.” The man said, already turning to leave.
“Ummm.. excuse me.” Kizy said a little hesitantly.
“Anything else?” The man said, frowning a little.
“Was there no one else when you picked up this phone?” Kizy asked, and though she wanted to mask her emotions, it came out hopefully.
“No. No one.” The man said, shaking his head.
“Oh okay. Thank you.” Kizy said, hoping that at least Joel would find something through CCTV.
The man nodded and instantly left, rushing towards the opposite direction.
Kizy looked at him for some more time, before looking at the phone he had given.
It was Markus’s phone. She was about to unlock it when she suddenly frowned looking at one of the corners of the phone cover.
“What happened, lady boss?” Jack immediately came forward, looking at Kizy frowning.
Kizy looked at the phone corner carefully, where bloodstains could be seen.
“Blood.” Kizy said in a low voice, before unlocking it, knowing Markus’s password.
There were countless missed calls and messages from her and Joel but nothing looked suspicious.
She was about to open his locked folders when she received a call from Joel on her phone.
“Hello Joel, did you see the CCTV? I-” She was still speaking when Joel shouted from outside.
“Young Miss, watch your back!!” Joel exclaimed, making Kizy remove her gun and turn back while pointing it, high on alert.
