CHAPTER 23

The Mansion, Tuesday, 4 a.m.

The man with the dark, sinister eyes and eerily calm voice took a sip of tea from his cup and savoured it lightly with his tongue.

The loud Americans were responsible for the appellation ‘Doc’, but he personally preferred the more sophisticated moniker from his days in Europe: the Maestro. For he regarded his work and passion no less profound than that of an artiste, musician or philosopher. Just as he preferred the mythological rich Indian name ‘KaalKoot’ to the drab name ‘Toxin Z’ given by the Americans.

The tea was Darjeeling’s finest, personally sourced for him by one of his minions who had spent two days scouring tea estates across the length and breadth of Darjeeling. The minion in question was standing in a corner of the room, trembling as the Maestro took his first sip.

He let out an audible sigh of relief as the Maestro nodded slowly and took another sip.

‘Update?’ the Maestro asked a deeply tanned man who was standing in the centre of the room.

‘All on schedule, sir. The kick-off will happen this evening. The midfielders have already got the balls from the defenders, and they in turn will set it up and pass it on to Sylvan.’

The tanned man was shaking slightly as he spoke. The Maestro was not physically imposing; he was around 5’ 6” and a little stocky. But there was something about the effect he had on people. Just one look at his deep eyes, one word of his eerily calm voice, and the other person knew that he was dealing with an evil force.

The soccer euphemisms ‘midfielder’, ‘ball’ and ‘defender’ were at odds with the Maestro’s suave, rather refined exterior, but they gelled well with the beast within him. A beast that was finally about to be unleashed.
