“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 kiss ever since and she found it easy to forget it?
Why is that?
That was their f_cking first kiss 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, deeply 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 lip.
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 hard.
“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 huge lit up room.There was an uproar of noise.
People were smoking, drinking and dancing around. They were strippers 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 smirked and before Malcolm could get what was going on, the man punched him hard on his nose. Malcolm passed out after the fast 3rd blow.
****
Malcolm grunted and lowly opened his eyes. written by sommy pearl f.
It was blurry at first.
He rubbed 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 deep 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 cup.
“Look at the two of us and tell me who’s prone to getting hurt”
Malcolm bit his lower lip.
“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 huge secret and she kwew about it. I think she was a spy or something”
Ma Clara smirked.
“Can you remember her? Ariana Bells? I need 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 widened his eyes.
“Did Ariana tell you about me?”
“No. Someone else did”
Malcolm gulped down, forcefully.
“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 hard.
“But how? How did you both know each other?”
