" Auntie what's wrong?,are you okay? You look tense". A soft tiny voice came through the other side of the screen.
Jade smiled and said;" it's nothing".
" Are you sure? You look very droopy and not happy at all". The kid analysed Jade skeptically with her eyes.
Jade chuckled lightly and asked teasingly;" Really? She said slowly her voice carrying a hint amusement.
Jade continued;" okay then Maya, how do you feel a happy person should behave like?".
Maya said enthusiastically; " Happy people are always smiling, strong and shinning like me Auntie ".
A kid with black hair and red eyes pushed Maya away and sat directly in front of the screen.
" Don't mind Maya Auntie, her head is full of rainbows and butterflies". Jack said while looking relieved to see Jade but sighed at the realisatioon his sister really needed to live in reality more.
" Auntie, how are you eating? Is your husband treating you well? If he's not tell me and I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget!. Jack said with a fierce yet overbearing tone.
Jade thoughts drifted to Nigel. Thinking about the recent events, she could say he treated her well, even with his cold persona, his not a bad person. But that's where she has to draw the line, there should be no personal feelings attached to it.
Jade calmly replied; " he does treat me well, his actually not that bad".
Jack immediately spoke up catching onto her last sentence;" So he is bad!, just tell me and I'll wipe him clean". Jack said with an icy glint in his eyes.
Jade then felt the urge to suddenly tease Jack; " You know at this rate, you're really starting to sound like my mom Jack". Jade said with playful yet deep tone.
Jack face and ears showed a hint of red, he then scratched the back of his head shyly, slightly turning away from the screen;" I just wanted to know how you were doing". Jack said innocently.
Jack always acted mature and stood as a big brother figure to the rest of the kids, but he really had a noticeable cute side. Jade smiled at this fact.
Maya now done collecting herself tried to push Jack away from the screen and yelled frustratedly;
" I want to talk to Auntie too", but Jack picked up the little Maya and tossed her on a nearby couch; "You're really overactive today, you should get some sleep, don't you think?". Jack said in subtle yet warning tone.
Maya whimpered, eyes watering; " Auntie Jack is bullying me". Jade laughed at the cute sibling relation reminding her of the day she found them, but now they are happy which she couldn't help but smile at.
" I thought you two wanted to talk with Auntie Jade, but looks like the twin spirit is acting up again. " Christiana said teasingly.
Maya and Jack panicked and replied in unison;" We're sorry, we still want to talk to auntie Jade. Their eyes almost tearing at the thought of not talking to Jade.
Christiana chuckled lightly enjoy their reaction from her little threat and cooly replied; " okay then, you'll have to behave". The twins simultaneously agreed nodding their heads.
Three tiny cute little blonde boys appeared in front of the screen almost popping up.
The triplets spoke in unison; " Auntie, we missed you so much, we want to see you", they said whinny with teary eyes.
Jade replied with a gentle voice; "Auntie misses you too and I promise to see you soon".
Maya, Jack, the eldest of the triplets; Damian, the middle; Daniel and the youngest Dexter all said in an excited high pitched voice; " Really!".
Jade chuckled at their cute reaction and nodded. The triplets were none years old and Maya and Jack were twelve but there was someone she hadn't seen yet.
" Where's Leo?", Jade asked. A tiny voice then spoke up;" I've been trying to talk to you auntie, but they won't let me. A five year old with black hair and blue eyes said whining.
Damian picked him up; " we're sorry for being too loud". Leo gave him a side eye then glared fiercely at the rest of the kids and said;" You better be".
Daniel then spoke up;" Auntie, Leo has made significant progress and is learning fast, he help stop a drug trade that was supposed to happen at the Pacific, that would have led to the import of more drugs into the country.
Leo hacked into their data base implanted a virus he made himself, corrupted all their files, stole their secret information and also the location of the base of operations and sent it to the Security operatives. He wipe their assets clean and completely destroyed them.
The tiny Leo folded his arms proudly;
"Yes I am the best, very soon I'll be like Uno". Dexter rubbed his fluffy soft black hair and said;" you still have a lot to learn before you can be like Auntie Jade".
Christiana hearing this perked up and said excitedly; " Does anyone want to be like deux?". Maya responded with a tone of admiration;" deux is fine, but I like Uno better". The remaining kids nodded in agreement.
Christiana sighed wiping an imaginary tear and smiled; "that's okay, everyone wants to be like Auntie Jade".
Night hunt is the second highest hacking organisation in the dark web and was newly founded. It was part a whole itself as Jade had many identifies, her reach was very extensive to different lines of trade and even more. Night Hunt grew to be very powerful under a short time burying targets with just one thought. It was infamous for its brutality and merciless actions.
Jade was at the top of it all known as Uno, Christiana occupied the position of deux and the kids came immediately after her respectively; Jack, Maya, Damian, Daniel, Dexter and Leo. They were known as the young prodigies who buried criminal organisations for fun. Night Hunt also consisted of subordinates who assisted with general operations and higher ranks who assisted with special operations.
" I'll come see you later, bye for now. I miss you all", Jade said waving at the kids.
The kids waved back;" take care of yourself, see you soon auntie, we're waiting for you. Bye".
Jade ended the call feeling warmth in her heart but somehow it all felt shallow. There was now a void in her heart something only her mom could fill, but now it's too late the best she can do is get back all they took from her and become stronger.
