“Kev! Wait!” Cindy suddenly said and he opened his eyes.
“I can’t…Sorry” She whispered and he withdrew his face.
“Think about it. If I truly loved you,,, Would my feelings just have withered just like that? I think I was just infatuated by you” She whispered.
“I’m really sorry for misun-derstanding you in the first and its really my fault. But, there’s nothing I can do” She added.
“Is there no way for your feelings for me to grow back?” He asked, sadly.
“No way. Even though, I try to love you back,,, It won’t seem genuine. I…dont like you as a man, Kev. I’m sorry. Besides,,,I…I love Oliver now. I’m so much in love with him” She mumbled, looking down.
“Its fine. You can love him as much as you want. I’m just gonna love you on my own” Kev for-ced a smile. written by sommy pearl f.
Cindy quickly looked at him.
“No… Please don’t, I can’t cause you more pain. It would only make you feel lonely and hurt. Please,,,, Please…Can you just let me go. Let your feelings for me go?”
“I’m sorry but I can’t. When you nee-d me, you know where to find me. When your feelings come back, I’m close by. If Oliver Fu-cks up, run to me. I promise to hold you forever but for now, I ain’t ready to ever let you go,,, Cindy. Not now, not ever”
Cindy sighed and wiped the tears that managed to escape out from her eyes. She didn’t know what else to say to him.
Suddenly, Cindy’s phone rang. She took it out. It was a unsaved number.
“Hello?” She whispered.
“Its your cousin” A whisper came.
“Malcolm?” She wide-ned her eyes and Kev turned to her.

“Where’s he?! Aren’t you his so called girlfriend?” Mr Chadwick barked.
Ariana, Oliver and Ken sighed de-eply.
“Actually,,, Malcolm disappeared” Ariana murmured.
“What!”
“What sorta joke is this. Its lame, okay? I know he’s hiding so please call him out now. Tell him to face his wrath from me” Mr Chad frowned.
Rhoda sighed.
“She’s right. He’s missing”
“How do you expect me to believe y’all!” He shouted.
Ariana sighed.
“Malcolm was with me last night. Then,,, this morning, I woke up, I didn’t see him in the house at all. It was unusual for I knew he was supposed to wake me, and send his farewell before leaving”
“I made a call to him but I heard his phone ringing on the TV shelf. When I went closer, I saw a flash drive on it. I watched the content and was terrified. Then, made a call to the others. They rushed in and watched it with me”
“They too…They were terrified and shocked” Ariana swallowed.
Mr Chad scoffed.
“How do I know it isn’t a trick”
“Show him the video” Ken muttered.
Ariana nodded and walked to Rhoda.
“Where’s it?” She asked.
Rhoda handed her the flash drive.
“Wait!” Rhoda quickly held her hand.
“Why?” Ariana asked.
“That’s the wrong one. Mistake” Rhoda tilted her head, with a smug on her face.
“What do you mean?” Ariana asked.
Rhoda stood up and came closer to her.
“That where your se-x scene with Malcolm lies” She whispered.
“Here. The genuine one” She handed it to her and sat down back.
Ariana looked at the flash drive and sighed.
“Make sure to discard that”
“Sure…” Rhoda for-ced a smile.
Ariana walked to the TV and inse-rted it. She switched it on and made it play.
Malcolm was in his bedroom when he was video recording himself.
“This is my last farewell. To everyone. When I mean everyone,, I really mean every Fu-cking one” He stated right and clear.
“Don’t try to find me cause you won’t. Don’t look for me at all. It not just a warning but a command. Of course. I’m sure Mr Chad will be mad at me by now. So,,, I’m gonna make up for it. I’m gonna resign. I’m not singer MK anymore. I’m like every normal dude… Now,,, I take my leave. Bye” He said and the video ended.
“What’s this? He didn’t even give a reason for disappearing just like that? Have you talked to the cops?” Mr Chad asked.
“No…Didnt you see the warning he gave??” Ken frowned.
“Okay then. I guess its over. I’ll take my leave then. Such sad” He shook his head and left.
“So,,, Is this the end of our gang?” Oliver cooed.
Ken swallowed.
“I guess”
Rhoda stood up.
“Everybody goes home then” She sighed and left.
They finally took turns in leaving. Ariana found her self alone now. written by sommy pearl f.
“Mister? Where are you?” She whispered, bent down and began to cry.
***
“What’s up?” Cindy asked.
“Locker 513. Locker room in Hills top station” Malcolm said.
“What’s this about?” Cindy asked.
“Can you keep the painting in there?” Malcolm asked.
“Okay? But why?” Cindy asked.
“I’ll tell you later”
“Why are you using another number though?”
“I recently changed it”
“Why?”
“Nothing”
“Is there anything you’re hiding for me?” Cindy asked.
“Nope. Just do as I said. Bye” He hanged up.
“Hmm. Let’s go to Hills top station” Cindy said.
Kev nodded and checked the GPRS.
“Got it” He said, and followed the directions from it.
OLIVER’S HOME**
Ken was behind Oliver. He was operating fast on his computer and system.
“Did you get him?” Ken asked.
“Nope. He didn’t take his phone. Neither did he take any tracking object. It’ll be really ha-rd and slow to get him” Oliver said.
Ken sighed.
“I guess,,, It really over after all”
Oliver turned to him.
“What did you think made him change his mind? Why did he take this sudden turn?”
Ken shrugged his shoulders.
“I wish I knew”
HILLS TOP STATION*”
Cindy kept the painting inside the locker, 513.
“Done. I’ll go give the keys to the locker guard” Cindy said. Kev nodded and watched her leave.
“Hello. I’m here to drop the keys to locker 513 here” Cindy gave the handsome security man. He was Korean, so Cindy felt relieved.
He smiled and collected it. He was
“Korean, huh? The name is Alex…” He whispered.
“Huh? I didn’t ask” Cindy mumbled.
“Can you give me your number?” He asked.
‘What? Why?” She asked.
“To tell you when your locker rent expires?” He smiled, se-xily.
“Oh” Cindy nodded and called it for him.
*Riinggg* Cindy phone rang out.
Cindy took her phone and looked at it. It was an unsaved number.
“Hello?” She said after picking it.
“Its me,,, Alex. Wanted to check if the number is genuine” He said.
Cindy hanged up.
“Okay then..Bye” She bowed and started walking away.
“I’ll call you, beautiful!” He waved.
Kev frowned.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“I don’t know. Let’s just go, please…”
Immediately, they left, a man came to the locker, brou-ght out a master key and opened it. He took out the wrapped painting and closed it.
He walked distance away and called someone.
****
“Hello?” Malcolm whispered, after picking the call. He was smoking dangerously in a big hotel room.
“Its me…Your messenger” The man spoke in Italian.
“Oh…” Malcolm muttered, and went to the balcony. He looked at the busy road, people and city.
“Drop the stuff at the flight moving to…Perugia Italy. Ask the exporter to give me a call when he comes with it” Malcolm said, and blew out a gray smoke from his mouth.
ARIANA’S ROOM**
Ariana sat on the floor. She was busily drawing a face. It was Malcolm’s.
She did the final touch of his beautiful eyes and sniffed.
“Where are you, Malcolm?” She whispered touching the face.
A tear slid down her eyes and tou-ched Malcolm’s painted eyes.
“Now,,, I do know how we both got the tattoo and I’m willing to tell you the story”
RHODA’S ROOM**
“What!!!” Gilberto roared.
“You heard that right. It over. I ain’t gonna help you no more. Count me out” Rhoda said.
“Oh…You know you just jumped from hot oil to fire. Tell me it a joke. You’d better not play games with me. You know you’re protecting Malcolm this way. If you look into this cabin and I get the wealth,,, I’ll forgive Malcolm and let you go”
“But if you don’t” Gilberto snarled.
“The whole of the mafia city will come for Malcolm and butcher him up to pieces. Remember, he deserves it…since he betrayed us”
“Get lost! I and Ariana isn’t afraid of you anymore!”
“Oh no…If I were you,,, I would be. Talking about Ariana…Haven’t you ended that bi-tch life?”
Rhoda just scoffed, angrily.
“I’ll really kill Malcolm if you don’t think straight” Gilberto warned.
“You can’t kill him no more”
“He’s gone. He disappeared! So,,, screw you!!!” Rhoda shouted and threw her phone to the wall. It broke into pieces. immediately.
****
“What? Malcolm? Missing? You’ve got to be kidding me” Gilberto smi-rked.
He stood up and sent a voice note to one of his trusted men.
“Malcolm is gone. Find him”
Gilberto laughed, evilly.
“You can run, Malcolm…but you can’t hide. Never!!”
