“Let not talk about it” Rhoda quickly said.
Malcolm eyes blinked, effortlessly.
“Bu…But why not?” He stuttered.
“Cause I apparantly don’t wanna talk about. Please, Let just forget about it” She said, cooly. written by sommy pearl on fb page.
Malcolm stared at her in disbelief.
He had been thinking about the ki-ss ever since and she found it easy to forget it?
Why is that?
That was their Fu-cking first ki-ss over the few years now.
“I see I’m not special to you and yet, I still had feelings for you” He thought and stood up.
“You off already?” She asked.
Malcolm silently nodded.
“Rhoda?” He called, gently.
She looked up at him.
“I’m gonna ask you again and for the last time. Do you really wanna let it go?” He asked.
Rhoda sighed, de-eply and nodded.
“Please” She cooed.
Malcolm nodded and turned to leave.
“Malcolm?” Rhoda quickly called and went to his face.
“Where are you off to, now?” She asked.
“Home” He lied in a moody whisper.
“Oh. Okay” She answered, and he walked out of her sight.
“He doesn’t look happy with me at all but why does he really wanna talk about Gilberto. Is Malcolm probably finding anything suspicious. I hope not” She thought and bit her lower li-p.
She watched as Malcolm enter his car amidst people’s excited screamings.
COME N’ GO LOAN BUILDING***
Malcolm got down and walked to the big dark door.
The building was tall but gloomy, since it wasn’t even painted.
Even the road was gloomy with less people on it.
He knocked the door and a voice came from a small opening.
“Name?” The voice sounded, huskily.
“MK”
“Real name!!”
“Malcolm Keepers”
“A gang here or a borrower?”
Malcolm swallowed ha-rd.
“I’m a gang here”
“What the code?” The husky voice asked.
“Co…code?” Malcolm stammered.
“What code?” He thought.
“Sorry” He laughed, nervously.
“I meant to say borrower. I came to borrow loan here. I made a mistake earl- He was cut off by the door opening slowly while making a squeaking sound.Malcolm pocketed his hands and strolled it.
He walked past the only entrance and found himself in a hu-ge lit up room.There was an uproar of noise.
People were smoking, drinking and dancing around. They were stri-ppers too.
Malcolm saw some men in a casino around.They were hailing while playing and card betting.
Malcolm was inspecting the whole place while he moved around.
He felt a hand hold his shoulder and he turned around to see a hefty man looking at him.
“Didn’t you say you came to take a loan?” The man asked.
Malcolm gave a sly smile and nodded.
“Malcolm Keepers?” He asked.
“As you heard it” Malcolm replied.
The man smi-rked and before Malcolm could get what was going on, the man punched him ha-rd on his nose. Malcolm pas-sed out after the fast 3rd blow.
****
Malcolm gr-unted and lowly opened his eyes. written by sommy pearl f.
It was blurry at first.
He ru-bbed his eyes and opened it.
He saw he was seated on a brown sofa.
He looked in front of him and he saw a bit short, chubby woman.
Her back was facing him since she was busy making tea.
Malcolm tried to move but he couldn’t.
He couldn’t lift a single finger and it felt strange.
“Don’t stress the muscle. It’s fragile” A mid de-ep voice sounded.
“Who are you and what did you do to me?” He demanded, curtly.
The woman turned around to him.
Malcolm stared at her face and blinked his eyes fast.
She looked familiar. Yes! It was her! Her mole was right on her face just like he saw on Oliver’s computer.
“So you know me now?” She laughed.
“Well, you ought to, since my two men whom I sent got caught by you”
Malcolm sighed.
“Let talk and I promise not to hurt you”
Ma Clara laughed and sipped from her cu-p.
“Look at the two of us and tell me who’s prone to getting hurt”
Malcolm bit his lower li-p.
“Do you know Ariana Bells? You sent those 2 guys to her. They mentioned she borrowed 8000 thousand won from you. But I’m sure there is something more to it. I’m sure Ariana came here for a reason. You see, I’ve a hu-ge secret and she kwew about it. I think she was a spy or something”
Ma Clara smi-rked.
“Can you remember her? Ariana Bells? I nee-d more information about her” He further said.
She sat on the desk with her arms folded.
“Firstly, What’s this secret we are talking about?”
“Pardon?” He asked, back.
“This secret Ariana knows about you” She said, drawing a circle on the air at his face.
“You don’t actually have to know since it’s a secret” Malcolm shook his head.
“What darn secret? You mean you being a Mafia??” She raised a brow.
Malcolm slighted wide-ned his eyes.
“Did Ariana tell you about me?”
“No. Someone else did”
Malcolm gulped down, for-cefully.
“Who?” He muttered.
“Leo Da Cruz” She answered, sharply.
Malcolm stared at her in disbelief.
“What do you mean by what you just uttered. Do you know him?”
“I do and he knows me as well. He told me lots about you”
Malcolm swallowed ha-rd.
“But how? How did you both know each other?”
“Well, I use to work in his cartel. That time, he was still a little mafia no one knew about. He was a masked mafia just like you before he got well known and became the government, himself. I was glad the day he took down his mask. That was the same day I humbly retired. We always contacted each other. He told me he finished building the Cruz Mafia’s palace. I ran back to Itay and congratulated the Don, himself. I met with you then but you were still a little, timid lad. Leo told me a lot about you. He also mentioned of how he brou-ght you in after your parent’s died-
“Enough!” Malcolm gnashed his teeth.
“No one asked for my biography” He added.
“Just tell me what I wanna hear. About Ariana Bells”
The code number Leo Da Cruz gave to you holding his hu-ge money and gold bars, was it 30135-U-70?” She suddenly, asked.
“Wha…What? How…How do you know that?”
“Cause I was the personel whom he handed the code to. Besides, the code stands for Come n’ go..” She smiled.
“What do you mean?” He asked.
“C is the 3rd alphabet. O looks like 0(zero). M is the 13th alphabet. E is the 5th alphabet. n, when turned upside changes to u. G is the 7th letter in the alphabet and lastly, we have O which looks like 0(zero) like I mentioned earlier and that’s why we got COME n’ GO=30135-u-70!” She explained.
“So Leo Da Cruz was trying to bring me to you so that I would get everything he owned?”
She nodded.
“I never saw this coming. I think Ariana had a clue about this. Maybe, that why she came here. I’m sure she had other motives than to borrow money”
“Well, My mind didn’t even go there since I never knew her before but she acted suspiciously”
Malcolm’s body was getting better and free.
“Can you give me the CCTV footage of her arrival that day?”
“Sure thing”
****
“Here” Ma Clara handed him a transparent file.
He saw a flash drive and a very small key in it.
“What the key for?” He looked at her.
“The key is the only lock to the cabin holding the fortune”
Malcolm walked closer to her.
“Where can I find this cabin?” He asked, cooly.
“It’s in the-
*BANG! BANG!! BANG!!!* This continous angry sounded on the door accompanied with gunshots.
Ma Clara wide-ned her eyes and looked at the door.
It was about to fall down.
“What’s happening? Malcolm asked.
“I wish I had an idea” She responded and rushed to the laptop on her desk.
She pressed some bu-ttons and the screen showed what was going on outside.
Some armed men were there.
“Dew! That bastard traitor” She muttered, un-der her breath.
“Malcolm! You nee-d to leave. Hurry! There’s no time” She said and opened a small secret door.
She pushed him in there.
“What are you doing?” He asked.
“It’s not safe. They are after the key. My men betrayed me. You nee-d to go now. Just continue walking until you get to a smaller door. Unbolt and open it, and you’ll see yourself outside. Leave now! I’ll take care of the rest”
Malcolm sighed and sadly muttered a thank you before leaving.
Ma Clara smiled and closed the secret door and just then the hu-ge door fell down and the men rushed in, pointing their armed weapons at her.
Dew was the leader.
“Dew,,, If someone told me you would ever betray me, I won’t ever believe. You’re my advisor for crying out loud!” Ma Clara shouted.
Dew scoffed, with a wicked grin.
“You know why I’m here. Heard MK is here so I suppose you gave him the key”
“What key? I gave him nothing and you’re an hour late. He left already”
“Then, you’re useless to all of us. RIP,, Ma Clara” He smi-rked, hatefully and shot her dead.
Afterwards, they all ran out and one of Dew’s men entered the hu-ge and very fast jeep.
Dew sat close to him and the rest of his men sat at the back.
“Let’s go now! According to our spy, He drove in with a blue sports car.
5 MINUTES LATER**
“Fu-ck! How did they arrive just at my tail. This is so risky” Malcolm said, looking at the fast moving jeep.
Dew was shooting him down.
Malcolm couldn’t even shoot well cause he was on the hot seat.
He couldn’t compare his car with the jeep too.
“Fu-ck sh!t” He muttered seeing a dead end. He followed the wrong route.
He inhaled de-eply and glanced at the back to see the jeep speeding towards him.
He held the steering wheel ti-ghtly and made an abrupt turn.
He started driving towards the jeep.
“What’s he doing? Its even better. This jeep will kill smash him into ruins. Let’s thank him for making our work much easier” Dew smi-rked.
Malcolm rushed to them, roaring mightily, like an angry, wounded lion.
