The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

"Do you know what happens when you threaten a man's family!?" Sam raged through the phone;

"Oh, so you think this is a threat or a simple prank…"

"You are sorely mistaken Super Sam, and I suggest you check your notifications to understand just how mistaken you are…"

The man said as Sam checked his notification and there was his family all bound up together, hooked to a chain, dangling above a reservoir of water filled with piranhas…

"What do you want?" Sam finally toned down;

"Good… Now, listen carefully!" The man began;

"You will leave that apartment of yours and head down to the 75th floor…"

The man ordered, and when he noticed Sam hesitating, he changed the footage being displayed on Sam's watch, as Sam saw one of the kidnappers walk straight to the transparent tank filled with piranhas with a live chicken in hand…

Throwing the live chicken into the tank, Sam saw the chicken suffer the most miserable fate anyone could ever wish for, and then, they lowered his wife about three inches, and instantly Sam got to his feet and moved…

"Good… I can see you are a very upright person, and would need many nudges today…" The man's scrambled voice sounded a little ridiculing;

"But the only thing I don't know is how many of those nudges it would take before your wife or kids end up in that tank…"

He added as his tone became very serious and intentional…

Sam got into his secret elevator and reached the 75th floor which was actually an empty floor which seemed to have a purpose that was yet to be decided by the higher ups of the firm…

"You have access to the network that connects the secret offsite control facility at your fingertips… Your first task today, will be to block all that network…"

"From radio networks, to mobile phone, internet and every means of communications…" The man said;

"You must be crazy if you think I will do that on my first day as the Chief of Security of this firm…"

Sam knew what the man was trying to have him do; if he shuts down the secret control facility's network, the entire defense and safety of this structure could as well be fifty percent down…

The man said nothing as Sam simply saw them lower Jacob and Ivory by another 3 inches;

"You-"

"Shut the fuck up and do as you're told, and maybe-... just maybe, you will get the chance to see them again…" The man interrupted;

"Talk back at me again when I didn't ask you to and you will have to watch your family being eaten gradually from their foot- up, alive…" The man continued;

"I don't know which will come first; bleeding to death, or the pain or perhaps just the fear…"

"But trust me, I really want to find out, and I won't mind using them as test subjects…"

The man finished with no hint or remorse in his tone whatsoever…

"Now do as you are told!"

Sam quickly tapped some buttons on his watch and few seconds later, something appeared on the watch;

Network Terminated!

Sam sighed in pain and frustration the moment he realized that he might have just committed his first crime ever, just a year after he was acknowledged as a superhero to the entire nation…

He didn't bother trying to track down the caller because whoever it was that had the ability to slip into this firm's high tech facility, gadgets and the A.I mainframe would obviously be watching his every move…

There were numerous questions running through his head at this point, and only by answering them could he discover who it was that was doing this…

He knew obviously that whoever that person was, was the major spy the government had planted within the firm…

How did the man know that he was at the 154th floor; a place he only got access into less than an hour ago, moreover, the man had said;

"…that apartment of yours…"

How could he have known that he now owned the apartment?

Could this be a test from the firm?

But the firm wouldn't have dared to put his family through such a dangerous situation just to test him?

No matter how much he thought about the entire thing, he just couldn't find the answer to any one of his questions, and that along with the urgency with which this man wanted him to get done with his tasks ensured that Sam was gradually beginning to buckle…

Afterall, which Man would remain calm when his family are being strewn atop a tank full of famished piranhas?

'Fuck!'

'Calm down, Sam… Calm down… Clear your mind… you've got this under control…'

Sam calmed himself mentally as he asked;

"What else do you want from me?"

From the way he said it, one would think he was truly ready to sacrifice everything for his family;

"For now, my men are at work… wait for your next task, and like I said don't try any funny moves…" Then the man hung up…

Meanwhile....

Within a tunnel which had the tag; 'Sub-basement Level 10' etched on the walls....

A seemingly hardworking Asian who was taking regular maintenance readings from the controls displaying the conditions of whatever was passing through several pipes hung on both walls of this tunnel…

The man walked from one display control to the other taking vital readings until he got to the end of the tunnel…

He had just taking the last reading and was about leaving the tunnel when he heard a little vibrating sound; being a diligent worker that he was, he turned to the wall that ended the tunnel and tried to find out what might be causing the vibrations…

Then the man saw two crack lines spreading outwards, and instantly his attention was grabbed…

Placing the tablet on which he was recording his observations on one of the pipes, he moved closer to the wall which still had its cracks ever spreading out…

Then he saw another crack line spread out from the center with an even faster pace, and then;

Crumble!

Rubble!

Crash!

The concrete wall tiles on the walls came crashing down as a hole of about 40 inch in diameter was left gaping on the wall, with the smoke of fine dust oozing out of the darkness beyond it…

The man flicked on the flashlight in his hands and began to cautiously approach the hole, shining the light into every dark corners within the hole as he approached it with caution…

The man carefully reached the entrance of the hole and noticed that despite using his high LED flashlight, he couldn't still see the end of the hole…

He reached the edge of the hole, looked inside, and after discovering nothing, he stuck his head into it to get a deeper look into what has happened, and then;

Clack!

One of the tiny concrete stone at the edge of the hole fell to the ground, startling the man;

"What the hell!"

The man jumped in fright, and cursed after discovering what it was that gave him the fright of his life was;

"And I told them no horror movies last night!"

The man shook his head, and just as he took away the flashlight from the hole, an arm as thick as the thigh of this man himself stretched out of the hole and grabbed his windpipe…

The hand was so thick and strong that, despite all the man's struggles, he could barely even shake the hands sideways…

Then just like a worm falling into a truck full of salt, the man trashed around aggressively, but that grip on his throat was like a vice…

Then just like a rat succumbing to the poison of a black mamba, the man's struggling gradually became less and less aggressive, until the flashlight in his hand fell to the ground, and he finally slouched…

The arm dropped the dead man and a face wearing a breathing mask came out of the tunnel, opened the mask to reveal the face of someone, everyone reading this novel will be slightly familiar with [And, no… It isn't James!]

The bulky man broke himself out of the hole into the basement, and then about five other men of similar size came out of the hole, as someone who was still left within the hole began to pass them some chemical containers that was of a similar size to a beer barrel…

"Hurry up guys, we've only got fifteen minutes…"

The killer who seemed like the leader of this team bellowed after setting up his stopwatch…

Meanwhile, whilst all these was happening, two figures; a male and a female were giggling and laughing erotically at each other, smooching, groping and kissing themselves breathlessly like hungry pack of wolves, as they entered, through a door that had the tag; 'Basement' written on it...

But the moment they entered, they locked the door behind them and the girl hurriedly pulled down the jogger shorts this boy was wearing, whilst the boy tucked a finger beneath her skirt and dragged down her white panties which she allowed it to fall off with a slight wiggle of her ass…

The moment the panty fell off, she raised one leg up as the boy took his raging, massive sword, and pointed it at the chink in her amour;

"Oh my world, Tim you are so huge… Please be gentle, this is my first time…"

The girl pleaded, but Tim simply plunged his sword deep into her deepest depths; "~Aannhh~"
