MAFIA’S HIDEOUT**
“You spied but still got nothing serious and suspicious??” Malcolm asked.
“Yeah. I even peeped at them, unnecessarily. There was absolutely nothing from the ordinary during my stay at the lab. I…tried though” Ariana whispered.
“Tried what?! What exactly!! Fu-ck!” He thun-dered, and jammed his fist on the wall, aggressively.
Cindy shrugged her shoulders, and Ariana shivered. She quickly kept her eyes down.
“I’m…sorry” She whispered, softly, trying to hold in her tears.
By now, they had taken off the Br@celets and tiny ear buds. It was in the case where it was always kept.
“We’ll continue tomorrow. Make sure, you get something! Anything! Cactus?” Malcolm called.
Cindy looked up at him.
“Yes, boss?” She answered.
“Make sure you inject Miss Jung Hee with more sedative”
“I will. It’s even time now” Cindy stood up, and walked to the medical secret room.
When she left, Kev noticed she left her phone on the chair.
He took it, excused himself and also left.
Ariana sniffed and stood up.
“Where are you heading to?” Rhoda asked.
Ariana looked at her softly and glanced at Malcolm, who was now smoking.
Ariana took her gaze to the ground. She wanted to just cry her eyes out, but, at somewhere, discreet.
“I wanna smoke..” She muttered, grabbed a small cigarette from the desk and went throu-ghthe door, leading to the corridor.
“What with her? When did she even start smoking??” Malcolm eyed her.
***
Ariana sniffed, and wiped her tears away. She heard a giggle and peeped to see what was going on.
In the medical secret room was Cindy and Kev. Cindy was smiling, with her eyes down.
“Gosh,,, Thanks” She glanced at her phone.
“You’re welcome” Kev smiled. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“Kev? Wait…” She suddenly said.
Kev turned to Cindy.
“Can you stay with me? Just wait for me. Let me inject Jung Hee. When I’m done, we can leave”
“Sure..” He smiled, and sat down.
Cindy beamed, and rushed to the bed, where Jung Hee laid.
Ariana smiled looking at them.
“Our Cactus has a crush on Kev” She whispered.
“You just finding out?” A voice whispered, beside her.
Ariana bulged her eyes, and was about to scream when a hand grabbed her mouth.
“Sshh…They will hear you and think you are a spy here too” Oliver laughed, gently.
Ariana took his hand down and cleared her throat.
“What do you mean? I wasn’t spying. I was just trying to see what was going on”
“Still the same” He teased.
“Not the same” She shook her head.
“Why are you here though? Have you been spying on me, too? Huff!!” She huffed, and looked away, grumpily.
“You said you wanted to smoke. So, I just wondered who smokes without a fire?” Oliver said, expo-sing the lighter on his palm.
Ariana folded her li-ps.
“I was in a hurry. So, I forgot”
“Or,,, maybe it cause you don’t smoke and you actually, didn’t wanna smoke”
“Aiish. I wanted too. Give me that” She snapped, and took the lighter from him.
“Don’t smoke here. We are close to the medical room” Oliver said. written by sommy pearl f.
“Oh” She muttered.
“Let’s go now” Kev said.
They heard him and quickly peeped.
“Wait…Uh…I mean,,, let’s wait a bit…again” Cindy said.
“Huh? Why? What’s wrong?” He asked, carefully and raised his brows.
“I just wanna be sure the sedative works well” She smiled and looked down.
“Alright” He nodded.
“Just 5 minutes” She whispered, and sat down close to him.
Ariana smiled and walked further. Oliver followed.
“I sometimes wonder if Kev is stupid or foolish” Oliver shook his head.
Ariana inhaled de-eply and shook the burning cigarette into her mouth.
“Why?” She asked, and took it out.
Smoke came out of her mouth, and she coughed strongly.
Oliver quickly went to her and tapped her back gently.
“You cool?” He asked.
She threw the cigarette away and nodded.
“Yeah…Thanks” She tapped her che-st.
“Your first time, smoking, huh? You little liar” Oliver snickered.
“I just came up with that excuse to leave. Mister is annoying, at times” She said, swiftly.
“And he has a cool side too,,, trust me” Oliver smiled.
Ariana looked away.
“Why did you say that, earlier though? You said Kev is either stupid or foo-
“Yes. Cause I don’t see why, he hasn’t still realized Cindy likes him! This girl has feelings for him. Damn,, I noticed it at first glance” Oliver said.
“And they look cute together. I would like it, if they date” Ariana giggled.
“As if. I wonder when Kev will notice her. What if another guy notices Cindy and she does the same. That’s the end of Cindy and Kev”
“Yeah. Anyways, All the same. I’ll support whoever Cindy likes,,, and who she wanna be with. I just hope Kev finds out on time, about her feelings”
“Indeed” Oliver rolled his eyes.
“Did you see how shy she was? It was so adorable” Ariana smiled, fully.
“Most girls gets shy when in front of the guy they like” Oliver said.
“I know that…” Ariana nodded.
“By the way,,, You know…Cindy changed her code name” Oliver whispered.
Ariana went closer to him.
“Really? When?”
“Recently…”
“What’s the new code name then?”
“Curry!”
“Curry? Why? Uh…Okay then” Ariana nodded.
Oliver nodded, and walked away. He smi-rked dangerously as well.
“naug-hty shy Cindy” He thought.
“Curry? I prefer cactus though. Such a pity” She shook her head, and also left.
THE NEXT DAY**
Jung Hee opened her eyes, and the first person she saw was Ariana.
At once, She recognized her as the strange lady who mysteriously and magically took her face back then, in the elevator.
“Hi…” Ariana waved shortly, with a smile. She had the glas-ses on.
Jung Hee looked around.
“Where am I?” She murmured.
“Why am I here??!” She barked, suddenly.
“Gotta go. Scan finally complete” Ariana said, and her face changed.
“The h*ll!!! That sh!t happened again?? How! Why?” She asked.
“Curry? I’m done…” Ariana whispered.
There was silence.
“Curry? Curry?” Ariana called.
“Who is curry??” Rhoda uttered.
“Aiish!!” Cindy suddenly, blurted.
“Who told you I’m Curry?? Oliver?? That little slime! I’ll murder him. I’m coming in now, Ariana” Cindy said.
“You!” Jung Hee snarled and sprang down from the bed.
Ariana wide-ned her eyes and took few steps back.
“Who are you?! Who are you talking to?! Where am I?! Why the heck am I here?! What do you want from me?!” She screamed.
Ariana was quite frightened now.
“Breathe in. Breathe out. Calm down, okay??”
“Cactus, Where are you??” She whispered.
***
Damian went into the laboratory and changed into his lab coat.
He looked around.
“Hey,, Tom?” Damian called.
Tom looked at him.
“Jung Hee isn’t here, yet?” He asked.
Tom shook his head.
“I hope she’s fine” Damian whispered and took out his phone.
He called her line, severally but she didn’t pick.
“What’s happening?? Why isn’t she picking??” He thought, worriedly.
Damian took off the lab coat and made his way, rapidly to the door.
“Hey! Where are you- Mary paused, with a frown.
“He’s in love. In love” Tom chuckled.
***
Damian was down now.
He stopped when he saw the trash guy. written by sommy pearl f.
He looked de-eply at him. He was about to ask why he came today but he thought, the trash guy might not remember he came yesterday.
He remembered the trash guy, mentioning he couldn’t remember much.
Damian sighed and was about to leave when he noticed something strange.
He stopped and walked closer to the trash guy.
“Excuse me?” Damian whispered, and he looked at his face. There was a scar, right there on his left cheek.
“That scar. It wasn’t there yesterday” Damian said.
“Pardon?” The guy asked.
“Your voice. It also tinier than yesterday” Damian arched his brows.
***
“Aiish!!! where the Fu-ck am i?! Answer?! Why is my face on yours?! What did you Fu-cking do!!” Jung Hee shouted, and lifted her arm to hit Ariana.
Ariana quickly bent down and covered her face, with her arms. She also screamed lowly.
She noticed quietness and slowly looked up.
Malcolm was there, holding Jung Hee’s arm which was on mid air.
The tears stuck on her eyes, freely went down. Thus, shaking the face filter. Jung Hee’s face went off Arianas’ immediately.
“Mister…” Ariana whispered.
Malcolm looked at Jung Hee coldly, and injected her ne-ck, fast which the seductive, he had.
Jung Hee eyes rolled before she finally pas-sed out, on the floor.
“You alright?” Malcolm bent down, facing Ariana.
Ariana looked at him. Her heart was pounding loudly and rapidly. She wondered why.
Malcolm sighed de-eply, and slowly took down the glas-ses.
As soon as he did so, Ariana took her shy eyes down.
