EPISODE 12
After the incident, Ethan and Stacy went back to the dining table. This time, he sent Dorothy back to the company first so he can join his wife for lunch. He knew Stacy didn’t take her lunch again. After they ate, he asks Larry to send Stacy back to the sto-re. Ethan has to go back since he has to attend an important business presentation but he promised her that they will go home tonight together.
When Stacy came back, her workmates started complementing her. They saw how amazing she was earlier when she was modelling the latest dresses. They envy her because she was able to try those outfits. They we’re also asking her about the tea time with the bosses. She only smiled.
“I think that fat client likes you so much! Our boss will surely promote you in no time!” one of the staffs stated. She smiled.
“Stacy, someone is looking for you,” Kian approaches her. He points a lady outside the sto-re.
“Lisa!” she cried as she run towards her. They hu-g each other.
Aisha and Lisa went to a secluded coffee shop, just outside the mall. They haven’t seen each other for at least a month or so. The last time they met was when Lisa saw her with Ethan in a fine dining restaurant. She tried to hide from Lisa but Lisa waited for her in the restroom. She was surprised to see her with Ethan. Aisha didn’t have a choice but to tell her the truth. At first, Lisa was so upset that her friend didn’t trust her with those important details, but she can’t afford to be mad at her best friend for a long time.
After catching up, Lisa’s face became serious.
“Is there something that you want to tell me, Lisa?” Aisha asked. She looks at her seriously.
“Aisha, the truth is, I came to give you this.” She handed a sealed envelope.
“What is this?” she asked.
She opened it and shuddered with what she read. She didn’t want Lisa to see it so she masks it with a smile.
“Aisha, I saw some men entered your apartment the other day. they looked like bad people. they were looking for you. They’ve been shadowing your apartment for 5 consecutive days now and when they saw me, they asked of you. I didn’t tell them that I know you personally. But they handed me that envelope telling me to give this to you when I see you.”
“Thank you for letting me know Lisa. But please be careful also. For now, don’t go back to that apartment yet.”
“I’m afraid as well. They’ve been watching your apartment thorou-ghly that’s why I decided to stay with my workmate for the time being.”
“Don’t go back to that apartment yet, I’ll try to settle the situation very soon.” Aisha urged her friend. Then they talked about a lot of things then after an hour Lisa set off. Aisha went to the comfort room. She locked herself inside the cubicle then she opened the letter again.
“I AM COMING FOR YOU —- AND FOR YOUR FAMILY AS WELL!” the letter was in bold capital letters. She was wrecking her br@in. who will possibly send this kind of threat. Could it be one of her father’s enemy? If yes, who would it be? Her father has a lot of enemy. Or could it be one of the people who wants to destroy her for the sake of the Mafia throne? Aisha crumples the paper in frustration. She then decided to go to her old apartment to investigate later tonight.
After her shift, she called Ethan that she won’t be going home early. She told him that she will be visiting her father Robert for the meantime. She can’t think of any other lie than this.
Aisha bought a black V-ne-ck shirt, black jeans, a black nike cap, a mask and a black leather jacket. She bought it just after Lisa left. She changed her outfit before going out from the mall. her hair was tied into a messy bun. she grabbed a taxi as soon as she came out. Before heading to her old apartment, she stopped by a pet shop. Hunter, the 24 years old guy, own the pet shop. He is Caleb’s bestfriend for a long time. Caleb told Aisha about him since he was a keeper of weapons. Aisha hid all the weapons she took with her when she ran away from home.
She took her personalize gun, hide it in her black leather jacket then she went back in the cab. Unknown to her, a black car was following her secretly.
She stopped the taxi at the third building before her apartment. She waited for the taxi to leave before she puts on her mask. The mask that she was wearing only reveals her eyes, she used her bangs to cover her forehead leaving a small space for her eyes. she already planned her outfit when Lisa left her. She walks slowly and carefully towards her apartment building. Her apartment was located at the second floor. opposite her apartment building are benches and trees that senior citizens use to sit on as they wait for the time to pas-s. She hides herself behind the trees. She inspects the surrounding; she saw a car parked in front of her apartment building. Two guys are sitting inside. One in the driver side and one in the pas-senger seat. They kept looking at her apartment window from time to time. once in a while they check the environment to see if the person they are looking for miraculously arrive. She knew that they are waiting for her. She doesn’t know if there are guys inside her apartment. She has to be cautious.
“They have guns as well,” she whispered to herself.
“I don’t think she will ever come back in this apartment.” The guy in the pas-senger seat spoke.
“We never know.” The other guy answered. The driver got off the car, he nee-ds to pee.
As soon as he was done, Aisha smashed his head with her gun. She checks his nose; he is still breathing. The other guy got off the car to light up a cigar. Suddenly, Aisha appeared behind him and knocks him off. She searches for anything she could find in his body. There was none except for his phone so she took it.
She immediately run towards her apartment building without making any sound. It was already 10pm so everyone’s fast asleep. She slowly opened the door with her keys. It was dark inside. she nee-ds to rely on the brightness of the moon which slightly pene-trates the room throu-ghher window. Slowly, she treks the kitchen. She found none. She slightly opened the door to her room, no one is in the bed. She went near the window. She can easily sp-ot the car that was park in front then she suddenly noticed a cigarrete on the table. However, it’s too late to hide, something is being pointed behind her head. A gun! She slowly faced the person. It’s a man! But she can’t see his face. Her hands were swift to snatch the gun on his hands then she pointed it back to his forehead.
“Who are you? What do you nee-d from me?” she asked in an intimidating tone. The guy laughs hysterically.
“I finally found you Miss Mikasa!” he attacked her hands. He was strong! And fast! Aisha dropped the gun. The man kicked her knees, she kneeled. She tried to fight back but the man suddenly steps on her hands.
“There’s no point in fighting Miss Mikasa. You are surrounded.” Someone switch on the light. Aisha saw 3 guns pointing at her. There are a total of 4 armed men in the room.
“Who are you? what do you nee-d from me?” she asked. The guy sat in the bed while she stood up. She was an-alyzing her survival rate. She can definitely beat each of them, but all guns are pointing at her, survival rate is 50/50 coz there’s a possibility that they will shoot her at once. Her other option is to jump outside the window, but its somehow risky. It will damage her feet, and probably they will shoot her coz they can catch her easily since she won’t be able to run at the same time. But in any case that they nee-ded her alive then they can still get her since she can’t run that far. All options will lead her either death or cage. But still, she didn’t want to lose her faith. She has to survive no matter what.
“Miss Mikasa, do you know that you have the highest bounty on your head right now?” the guy explained.
“Who is trying to kill me?” she answered.
“hmm… let me think. As far as I remember, one person placed 500,000 for your head, another 750,000 and the last one placed 1 million as a bounty. Seems like Miss Mikasa is a very dangerous person in the un-derworld huh…”
“I don’t believe that you are working for a unanimous client. They at least gave their Aliases. If you will give me names, I promise to spare your life.” She said. The guy laughs hilariously. Even his men joined him.
“Miss Mikasa, are you saying that you can take us all?” he mocks her. His laugh echoed even outside.
In the outside, one can definitely see 3 men pointing out their guns towards the woman and a man who constantly laugh throu-ghthe moonlight shadow.
“I can see how br@ve you are. Your eyes doesn’t even show any hint of fear. I just wonder why they will hunt a beautiful woman as you. I guess not all innocent looking girl are really harmless, huh.” The man grabbed her chin with an amount of strength. She evaded his hands.
“Even if you scape us, I’m sure there are more bounty hunters coming after you —– and your family as well. So if I were you, I rather offer myself as a sacrifice than sacrifice your husband, or perhaps, YOUR SON, hmmm.. what was his name again? It’s Eli right? Haha.. you chose Miss Mikasa, your life or their safety? Coz you can never hide from us!” The guy laughs frantically. Aisha’s body tense up when she thought of her family.
“Ethan, Eli…” she whispers. He got her angry. “Don’t ever go near my family!” she threatened him. She grabbed the man’s hand and locked it behind him. he is winding in pain.
“Stay where you are or I will shoot him!” she said while pointing the gun that she took un-der her jacket. The 3 guys stood back. Aisha walked near the window then she opened it wide.
“I’m warning you, don’t ever try to go near my family, ever!coz I will definitely wipe all of you!” she yelled. She broke his arms then she jumps out the window..
Crackkkkk ——– it was the sound of her broken left arm. She sli-pped a foot when she jumped out the window. the for-ce damage her left arm.
“Ahhhhhhh!” she pursed her li-ps despite the pain. She tried to stand up to pick her gun but too late, one of the men at the window ready to shoot her.
“Bangggg!” a gunshot was heard. She is bathing with blood. She looked above her. It was the man who’s about to shot her! He was shot. He’s definitely dead. But who shoot him? She looked at her gun lying on the ground. She didn’t fire it for sure.
Another gunshot was heard from a far. Someone is helping her! She took the chance to grab her gun and run away. She was limping while holding her left arm. Pain was written all over her face.
