Location: HUNTERS HQ–Midnight
The rain fell heavily outside the HQ tower. The city below slept, unaware of the storm brewing inside.
Infiltration
Kawser, once a comrade, now cloaked in betrayal, returned to HQ under the cover of darkness. With him–a group of stealth-trained mercenaries, unknown to the world but deadly with precision.
Inside the dim control room, Nafisa, finishing her late-night scan logs, noticed flickers on the security grid. Her eyes narrowed.Nafisa (whispered):"Something's wrong…"
She followed the signal – and froze. There he was. Kawser. Downloading restricted files from secure server.
Nafisa: "Kawser…? What are you doing?
He looked back, his expression cold.Kawser: "You won't understand. Move."
She stood her ground.Nafisa: "You already betrayed us once. You won't do it again."
He didn't hesitate – struck her down. She collapsed, bleeding… but not broken.
They fight – Nafisa holds her own but is ultimately overpowered. She slammed into the wall and knocked down. Her comm transmits the sounds of struggle.
The team arrives.Rasel and Tayeb immediately engage the rogue troops in a fast, brutal hallway battle.Siddik triggers an emergency lockdown and catches Kawser with a magnetic auto-cuff. "How dare you touch her?"
But Kawser, filled with rage, breaks free and makes a dash toward Fakhrul with a deadly blade."It's just beginning. You killed my brother.""You let my brother die, General Fakhrul! You were supposed to lead.
He swings – just inches away from striking Fakhrul.
Rasel, Tayeb and Zara struggling with the troops. Hridoy aiming his target to Kawser with his pistol.
Before Kawser can land the blow–
Bang!A clean bullet pierces Kawser's forehead. He falls.
Siddik also kills the troops with his pistol.
At last, Siddik lowers his pistol. His face unreadable. Silence spreads through the room.
The Aftermath
Zara, Rasel, and Tayeb are stunned. They believe Kawser could've been taken alive. Emotions boil over.
Zara: "You didn't even hesitate!"
Tayeb: "We could've found the truth! You made the choice alone!
Rasel: "At least we could've figured out who he was working for."
Only Hridoy and Nafisa, bruised and shaken, defend Siddik's action.
Hridoy (firmly):"He saved Fakhrul's life. Kawser wasn't going to stop. And Fakhrul was bare-handed. He could've died.
But Fakhrul, overwhelmed and conflicted, steps in:
Fakhrul (quietly): "Siddik, why did you take that action? I didn't expect that. You could've done something else."
Siddik: "He touched Nafisa. He made her bleed. Even he was going to shoot you. You think I would let this happen? That's why I shot him."
Fakhrul: "I need to suspend you. For now."
Siddik: "You don't have to explain, Sir. Take care of yourself in my absence."
He turns, glances at Nafisa, and then walks away – alone.
As the tension slowly settles, Siddik walks toward the exit in silence. But just before stepping out – He turns to Nafisa, gently placing his hand on her shoulder.
Siddik (softly): "You okay?"
Nafisa, still shaken but holding back tears, nods without a word and hugs him.
Siddik walks past Hridoy, and without making eye contact, he whispers:
Siddik (low voice): "If you ever need me… you know where to find me."
He steps into his private blue chopper, its blade already spinning.
The HUNTERS watch from the rooftop as it rises into the night sky, disappearing into the clouds.
Siddik returns to his empire – an island fortress built on his own terms, powered by his mind and his machines. A place where every piece of tech, every weapon, every system is made by him and his team. A place far from the chaos – yet always ready to war. The people live here, who were once the subordinates of the Spiral Crown.
