BLACK SUN

5

People loved to look at the world with blinders, in fact, they just found it difficult to see the truth. Instead of thinking on the good side, they immediately thought of the bad, everyone on earth had a s********e of the stories started well, some of them were beyond terrible. Sometimes this story could change, if you were lucky your story would have a happy ending. I believed that people could create their own happiness. If it weren't for Echo, maybe I would have created a dream world for myself and made myself happy, but Echo had been my shelter in this life, my playmate. I was happy with my current situation, okay, maybe I didn't have a mother and father, but I still had a large family. I have never brought the feeling of love into my life, nor did I intend to. The life I chose would not allow it even if I wanted to. In my opinion, love would make people desperate, Echo gave me more than enough love to see from another man.

When I opened my eyes, the sun was just rising, I got out of bed and quickly took a shower and got ready and went to the kitchen. After 1 week, Caner and Ceren were finally able to move into their house yesterday, they were living on a lower floor again, but I liked being alone in my house. The cleaner was due to come to the house today, so I locked my personal belongings in the safe. Although Ceren was going to stay with those who came to clean, I still put my things in the safe, I quickly made myself a sandwich and fed myself, and before I left the house and went to the headquarters, I went to the pharmacy and bought painkillers. Since I gave mine to Bora last week, she had mine. When I left the pharmacy, I noticed a man watching me on the opposite sidewalk. So that he wouldn't know that I had noticed him, I walked into the grocery store ahead, bought dog food and cat food, and went to the nearby park to feed the cats and dogs. The man was following me just as I had anticipated, so I left the park and started walking. He was coming after me, when I entered the side streets, I increased my speed a little bit, he increased his speed just like me. I looked at the man while squeezing his throat with my foot, he was moaning in pain.

"Who are you?" I said sternly, obviously the man was from here. He looked at me with fear, trying to resist when I pressed my foot a little harder on his throat. He slapped my leg and tried to get up from under me, but it was all in vain.

"Let go, I'm nobody!" I gave him a hard kick on the head and looked at him.

"You think I didn't see it? You've been following me since I left the pharmacy, who are you for the last time I ask!" He looked at me and laughed sarcastically.

"Who do you want me to be?" I kicked him harder to keep me from getting angry.

"Looks like you're going to try different ways, that's fine with me." He stopped me when I was about to take out my phone and call Caner.

"Wait... my agha sent me, my baran agha saw you in the last bazaar. He asked me to follow you." I frowned to see if he was telling the truth, but his eyes seemed to be telling the truth.

"Who is your chief?" I moved the gun on my waist as I put his hand in his pocket, quickly but he raised his hands in the air in fear.

"I'll pull out the phone." I signaled with my hand for him to continue without pulling my gun from him, he took out his phone, unlocked the key, and called someone named 'Agham', the phone was picked up on the second ring.

"Tell me Azad, don't say you lost her." The voice of the man on the other end was very serious and authoritative, I took the phone from the man's hand and hung up and looked at him.

"What is the name of this agha of yours?" He was scared, my gun had taken him by surprise.

"Baran... Baran Kozan. Owner of Kozan Holding, everybody knows him." I gestured for him to stand up, slipping his phone into my pocket.

"Take off your ID." I said flatly, panickingly pulling out his wallet from his pocket and handing me his ID. Azad Yıldırım was writing, I put my gun on my waist and tucked my ID in my pocket. "Get ahead of me." While we were walking towards my car together, Caner was already on the road, I was late for work and I had a lot of work to do today. When we came to the car, Caner had already arrived, it was obvious that he had left the house in a hurry. I handed the man over to him, told him the facts, and quickly gave him his ID and phone so he could investigate. Caner was going to jump on the man as soon as he saw it, but I stopped him at the last moment, he put the man in his own car. I got in my own car and quickly went to the headquarters, everyone had already arrived, I quickly went to the dressing room. I was just getting in while everyone else was leaving, Bora was left alone.

"You're late." said Bora sarcastically, sitting on the benches tying his laces. I quickly took off my jacket and took off my sweater.

"There was a little problem." He leaned back, his eyes in my eyes, not looking at my body.

"Since when is the name of dating your girlfriend a minor issue?" I laughed pityingly at him, this man was really crazy. He had health problems, I was sure of that.

"Where did you get that I met my girlfriend, first lieutenant?" folded her arms across her chest.

"Neither of you had a car this morning." After I was done buttoning up my shirt, I took off my pants, put on the camouflage and slipped on my boots, and went and sat next to him, but instead of looking at him, I was busy lacing my boots. "You said I would take the punishment I wanted for the slightest mistake." He was looking for my mistake for a week but couldn't find it.

"You're a good supervisor, first lieutenant, but you need to take off your glasses, I'm not late for meeting my girlfriend. I had more important problems and I got my so-called boyfriend to solve my problem so I wouldn't be late for work." brows furrowed.

"What problem?" I got up and looked at him.

"Let it be up to me, Lieutenant, though you'll make up a story for him too. If you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work to do." I left the dressing room and started walking towards my room. As soon as I entered the room, I watered the flowers that I hadn't watered for a few days and started to do the paperwork. After about 10 minutes, the door opened sharply and then closed with the same rigidity. When I turned my attention to the door, Bora was looking at me with anger.

"Why don't you say you're being followed!?" I took my eyes off him and went back to the paperwork, I liked pissing him off. Because he was also making me very angry, I was equalizing the terms in the end.

"If you had given me a chance to explain myself, lieutenant, I would have told you this, but you lost all explanation with the story you made up for me." I was not persistently turning my eyes to him as he confronted me with anger.

"I'm your commander, Lir, since you're on my team, you'll come and tell me everything first. Don't try to handle things on your own, you should have called me before your girlfriend." I gathered the papers together and slammed them on the table, putting them in line.

"He was superfluous, nothing to exaggerate." He slammed his hand on the table.

"What do you mean, Lir, you should have called me as soon as you realized you were being followed." I could see the anger in his eyes when I turned my eyes to him, I wet my lip and stood up and put the papers on his desk. I wanted to close the subject, it was getting on my nerves when he scolded me.

"You're right, first lieutenant, but there was no number for any of the crew, so I called Caner. I've done the paperwork, the watch list is ok, if you don't have any orders, I'll go get coffee. Would you like it?" she nervously ran her hand through her hair and tugged at it, I think it was unfair that she treated her black soft looking hair so badly. When my eyes went to her hair, I immediately averted my eyes from her, took my phone on the table, entered her password and started doing something. While I was thinking about when he had decrypted his password, it occurred to me that Caner had entered my phone's password with him the other day, so he had looked so carefully. Good but why? What would he do with my phone's password? Did he secretly mix it up? Don't be silly, Lir, you would have noticed if he messed it up. After ringing his own phone, he took his own phone and did something and gave my phone back to me. He saved his number and added me to the team's w******p group.

"From now on, you will call me before your lover for the smallest thing, now tell me this whole thing from the beginning." I let out a sigh of relief, my head hurting so much that I was burning with the need for coffee.

"Should I have coffee first?" I said innocently, he must not have been waiting for this move, he was stunned, but he collected himself immediately. With his brows slightly furrowed, he called someone on the landline phone next to the table.

"Send two coffees to my room." His voice was clear and straight, he had a weight because he was a commander. I could never be tough like him, I could only be tough in a serious environment or dangerous situation due to my job. He gestured to the single seat in front of my desk for me to sit. At least my coffee was on the way, I did what he said and looked at Bora and she sat right in front of me comfortably and waited for me to tell her without breaking her seriousness.

"I left early in the morning to go to the pharmacy. While I was at the pharmacy, I realized that someone was watching me across the road.." he interrupted me.

"Why did you go to the pharmacy?" He wanted more detail, so I took my lower lip between my teeth. I hope he didn't notice that I went to the pharmacy because of him, his eyes were roaming my face, but I was not looking into his eyes.

“I ran out of painkillers.. I then went to the grocery store to make sure I didn't get in the car and bought some food for the dogs and cats in the park, he followed me for a long time. Then I drove him into alleys to catch him, and when I turned the corner I had him trapped. Who is it? Even though he didn't say it at first, he told it when he forced it.. Baran Kozan.. he saw me with Ceren in the bazaar the other day, to his man who had me followed. I looked into his eyes as he frowned, wondering how he would react. The anger in his eyes had grown a little more, when the doorbell rang, we both averted our eyes from each other.

"Come," the door opened and the soldier came in with two coffees in his hand, left the coffees in front of us, greeted us, and left the room, I reached for my coffee and drank it slowly. He took out his phone and called someone, and it wasn't long before the other party picked up the phone. "Did you learn?" Bora's opposite side did not take his eyes off me, when I started to shake my legs because I was bored, his eyes instantly shifted to my legs. "Bring him to headquarters and take his statement, handle it until noon, there is a meeting in the afternoon." After listening to the other party a little more, he hung up the phone and stared into my eyes again. "From now on, don't go outside without me knowing." I got up with him as he took his coffee and stood up.

"Did you find out who you are?" He placed his coffee on his desk and sat down in his chair.

"You forfeited the right to get an explanation from me by not telling me, now that the paperwork is done you can go to the break room." The fact that he imitated me while my eyebrows were furrowed pissed me off even more.

"You think I can't learn? Why bother me instead of making it easy?" just like me, he was dealing with the paperwork and trying to look indifferent. He was shooting me with my own gun.

"You can learn from your lover, and you will see him too." I wouldn't be defeated by him, if someone had to be defeated here it would definitely be Bora. He thought he had won by leaving me unanswered, but he was wrong. I squinted my eyes and placed both my hands on the table and bent towards him.

"Shall I tell you one more thing you need to know, lieutenant?" He had taken his eyes off the paperwork and looked at me, and I sneered as I approached my victory step by step. "You will never give up on being wrong or your false accusations, and at the end of this road you will see how wrong you were. You create a story about me in your head, but I was never the girl in that story and I will never be, I'm sorry but you are a bad screenwriter." I take my hands off the table and pour my coffee over my head, giving me more attention as his eyebrows knit in confusion and anger.

"What do you mean?" I shrugged.

"I don't know, I think the morning coffee has fluttered. I'd better get some rest in the break room." I threw my coffee cup in the trash and left the room and started walking towards the break room. As I walked towards the room with a smile of victory, the gaze of the soldier on duty was on me. When I entered the break room, Mert and Giray were sitting in a corner looking at their phone. There was not a single Hakan inside, where was he? When I threw myself into the empty seat, Mert and Giray straightened their seat, but I gestured with my hand for them to be comfortable. "Where is Hank?"

"Bora went to take care of my first lieutenant, he'll be back soon." said Mert, putting my feet on the armrests of the chair and hanging them down and getting into a comfortable position.

"Commander... do you know how to make sterile?" When I turned my eyes to Giray, he was looking at me innocently. I didn't like to collect my hair, it hurt when I pulled it tight. I opened my hair and started braiding herringbone.

"I mean, I do, but Ceren does it better, I can ask her if you want." He looked at me excitedly.

"I swear, sir?" I looked at him with a slight smile, he looked at Mert. "Son, come on, we're fine, we're going to have a home-cooked meal today." I looked at Mert when a pain started in the depths of my heart, and he was laughing too. Everyone's family was far away, they longed for a home meal.

"Do you always order from outside?" Giray nodded his head and laughed bitterly as if he had thought of me.

"We're not good at cooking like our mothers, and of course she doesn't come from our hometown. The four of us have tasted all the dishes in all the restaurants in the city." I thought of my grandmother's meals, I missed their meals. They missed their parents, everyone was orphans here, we didn't have parents, but we were all brothers. Maybe I didn't miss my mother and father, but I missed my grandfather and grandmother very much, I was used to staying away from them. So maybe I couldn't understand them, but my longing for Echo helped me understand them a little bit, they had a warm home, their parents valued them. I've never tasted a warm family atmosphere, but they grew up in a warm family, I smiled, tied my hair with a barrette and closed my eyes. Ceren was cooking well, she wasn't working as hard as we were, she was cooking for us at home, so others could cook in it. I was going to talk about it with him tonight, I was going to make him an offer he couldn't refuse. We were going to be brothers with everyone in this team, okay, even though we didn't get along with Bora right now, I loved the others. We shouldn't have made each other feel the absence of our family, after all, I couldn't sleep well while my brothers went to bed hungry.

"Come to me for dinner, I have a good offer for you." The attention of both of them was on me, but I couldn't see them because my eyes were closed.

"Will you invite me too, sir?" I opened my eyes with Hakan's voice and looked at him, I didn't know what was coming, but he was sitting in the other single seat. I confirmed it with my head.

"That roommate of yours, Mr. cocky, is also invited." While all three of them were giggling, I thought of Hakan's whereabouts. Even though Bora spoke anonymously, I knew she was interested in this guy following me. "What did you learn about that man?" Hakan must have understood my question because he looked at me.

"It's true what they say, they'll be bringing them both soon. I'll go into their interrogation." I took out my phone and texted Ceren.

We have evening guests, can you show your skills?

I even have an offer you can't refuse. :)

I think the sleeper was still asleep, when Hakan's phone rang, I turned the phone off and put it in my pocket and looked at him, they had brought the man we were waiting for. As he stood up, I stood up too and went to him, he was looking at me.

"Commander, you better not come." I shook my head.

"Don't worry, I'll just watch from afar." We left the room together and proceeded to the bottom floor towards the interrogation room. A tall dark man was sitting in the glass room. Bora was also watching the man from the window from the outside, his brows knitted when he saw us.

"Stay out of this subject, Lyre." Hakan gave a sign to Bora with his head and went inside.

"I just want to watch, and... I want to talk to you about something." We walked in front of the window together without saying a word with my words that caught his attention, the man sitting inside looked very calm. While Hakan was wrapping his arms, he nodded his head even though he didn't see us and turned to the man behind him. He would just ask why he had followed one of the soldiers and warn him, the man's record was clean. It had nothing to do with terrorism. "You are invited to me and the team for dinner, I didn't want to do anything without consulting you. I know that you always eat out, Ceren is my childhood friend.. It's not too busy because she works at home. Everyone lives away from her family, Ceren can cook for all of us. So if you have permission subject to." he was looking at me.

"Why do you think of us? We've been on our own so far." I smiled bitterly.

"You all miss your family. He narrowed his eyes at me.

"You speak in isolation? Don't you miss your family?" I bit my lip as if to say I don't know.

"So what do you say to my idea?" He looked at me as if trying to understand, but he couldn't.

"Your friend... can he cook well?" I took my eyes off him and looked at the man inside.

"Come in the evening and find out." While his eyes were still on me, he turned his eyes to the voices coming from inside. The tension in the environment was rising, it was the first time I saw Hakan so serious and harsh.

"Who are you to follow one of our soldiers? Tell the truth, are you from the organization?" The man's stance was stern and uncaring.

"Stay there, commander, thank God we are not bloodless. I just saw it in the bazaar. It was obvious that she was not from here, she caught my attention with her beauty. You see, I didn't know that she was a soldier because of her love affairs. I wanted Azad to follow her, I just wondered who she was." I couldn't quite understand the curse that Bora was muttering from inside her mouth, but I was sure that she was swearing. "Besides… if he's here, can I talk to him too?"

"Lir.. go to your room." With Bora's commanding voice, I turned my head towards him, he looked at me harshly as I headed towards the door. "Now." When I nodded to him, he entered the room and punched the man hard, and I went upstairs without lingering any further. Ceren had texted me, my offer caught her attention, but I was going to tell her after our evening guests had left. I was sitting in my empty room until noon, Bora had never come to the room at that time. I could see him at lunch, they had sent the man, and after dinner, Yigit Colonel called us to the meeting room. It seems that there was a new development or operation. While we were all taking our places in the meeting room, Hakan and I were sitting side by side, Giray Mert and Bora were sitting on the other side of the table, Bora was right in front of me. There was a pink file in front of all of us, containing information about the operation. When the valiant colonel came, we all stood up, and when he signaled us to sit down, the soldier next to him started the rear projection.

"You have a new job, your eyes are clear." said the valiant colonel sarcastically, then turned his eyes to me. "Congratulations on your first operation, Lir." I gave him a small smile as I nodded in agreement. "We received intelligence from our agents in the organization, they will raid a village outside the border. They will raid the houses in the village and store supplies, I want you to go to the village before them and clear the terrorists after you secure the villagers. You will go down to the police station outside the border early to avoid attracting attention, I think they will do the raid at night. Two hours away, the people at the police station will drive you to a nearby point, you will walk for about half an hour." When Bora opened the file in front of him, all eyes were on him.

"The people in the village will be comfortable because they are vulnerable, so they will arrive later. We can spend the night at the police station after we go down to the police station in the morning, they are more likely to come when they wake up in the morning because their night vision will be difficult. We can take the villagers to a safe place and settle into our places before dawn." Bora looked at the map while the map of the village appeared in the projection. There is a river around the village, the mountains are in the north of the village so the entrance will be from the north. We can set a trap around the village, but we have to give the density to the north, the hunter will settle on the minaret of the mosque. Smoke and the baron will be positioned to the right and left of the village, while me and Lir will be in the very center of the village. We'll finish before they get close, they'll come by car. That's why the hunter will first take down the heavy weapon on the back of the car, and we will divide the rest.” I had a nickname too, but no one knew about it. After talking about the operation for about an hour, the five of us left together at the end of the shift and went home, because Caner had a job in the bazaar.
