“Guys!! Guys!!” Ariana jumped in.
Rhoda and Cindy looked up at her. The boys were there too.
“Thank goodness you all are here. There’s something I need to share with you…concerning Malcolm” She whispered and they all exchanged glances.
D-DAY**
OLIVE CRUZ’S TREE**
Malcolm stopped the car and inhaled deeply. He looked at the huge tree before him and touched it fondly.
He cleared the dust on the tree body and smiled in satisfaction, after he saw a key shape coming to view.
He took out the key from his pocket and placed it on the shape which sized it perfectly.
The tree made a grumbling sound and began to enter inside the ground.
“Whoa…Is this tree getting swallowed by the soil right now?” He thought.
A small beautiful golden house came out from the same ground hole which the tree got swallowed into.
“Wow” He smiled and opened the golden door.
“f_ck. Leo Da Cruz!” He gushed, seeing the gold bars and money around
“Malcolm!!!!! Come out Now!!!” He heard a familiar voice roar out.
Malcolm inhaled deeply with an eye roll and walked out.
His eyes widened seeing about 40+ men with Gilberto. They were holding bombs, different types and sizes of guns, grenades, etc.
About 15 were different mafias residing in Italy and Leo’s best friends.
“We are all here for you” Gilberto snarled.
Malcolm’s pistol wouldn’t do at a thing at time like this. The whole italian mafias were there for him.
“Mister!!” Ariana jumped in.
Cindy, Kev, Ken, Oliver and Rhoda mysteriously came into view, went to his side.
“Guys?” Malcolm widened his eyes.
“We are here for you” Ariana smiled, pointing her AK-47 at them.
“What are y’all doing here? How did you kn-
“Let’s talk later” Cindy cut in.
All of them held their guys to Gilberto and the men.
“You all are fools! Protecting a betrayal?’ Gilberto laughed.
“You 7 are no match for us all by the way” He spat.
“You evil man! Stop calling my cousin a betrayal!! What did he ever do to y’all?” Cindy spat.
Gilberto smiled.
“You haven’t told them yet?” He snickered.
“Well then,,, please,,, give me the privilege then to tell you myself!!” He added, with a growl.
Rhoda and Ariana exchanged fearful and anxious glances.
Gilberto cleared his throat loudly and looked at Malcolm who was staring back at him deeply.
“MALCOLM KEEPERS MURDERED…LEO DA CRUZ!!!” He yelled.
Cindy blinked and it almost seemed time had stopped.
“What’s… this? Mal…Malcolm? What’s he…he talk…talking about?? Hey,,, say something” Cindy muttered, looking at him.
“What’s this?” Oliver mumbled, confusedly.
Kev and Ken looked at him as well.
Malcolm whose eyes were still on Gilberto gave a wink and a wide satisfactory smile suddenly spread through his lips and even his eyes became dreadfully happy.
