“Who are you?” The man muttered, weakly.
He was still in pains.
Malcolm was wearing his silver mask.
“Me?? Well,,, I’m the masked mafia. The mafia whom you called, and asked for some lady,, called Ariana after taking a lady as hostage”
The man swallowed hard, seeing Malcolm pointing his pistol at his face.
“What do you want?” The man shivered.
“Me?? I just want your life” Malcolm snickered.
“Please,,don’t ki|| me. I’ll give you everything you want. I…promise”
“Really?” Malcolm smiled.
He nodded fast.
“Firstly, introduce yourself”
“I’m Jill Cal” He replied, hurriedly.
“Who sent you?? Who’s your boss??”
“Nobody sent us. We are loan sharks” He quickly said.
Malcolm raised his brows, puzzled.
“What did you say?”
“We tailed Ariana, and noticed she was in the hospital. We couldn’t get in to take her away, cause of the strong security. So,,, we noticed that lady whom we kidnapped would be the perfect bait to get to her”
“But…how did you know I was a mafia?? You called me mafia then! “You wanna save her, Mafia??”
“Yes…Yes…But while tailing Ariana then. We noticed you, spied on you, and followed you to Rhoda’s hotel room. We spied at you both and heard the mafia’s stuff. Also,,, we noticed you had feelings for her. So, we-
“Enough!! So,,, Why are you loan sharks after her??”
“She owes Ma Clara, 800 thousand won” He confessed.
“Ma Clara??”
“Yes. She’s the woman we work for. The mother loan shark”
Malcolm sighed deeply.
“Wh@ťěver. I don’t wanna hear any of this nonsense anymore. Bye” He touched the trigger.
“Wait!! You promised me” He cried.
“Me? I never promised you. Remember, I never said a word. You were the one that promised yourself. Besides, I h@ťě spies” He muttered, and pulled the trigger.

*Poww!*
“Bang! He’s dead” Cindy shook her head.
“Too bad” Oliver scoffed.
They saw Malcolm come out.
“So,,, what did he say?” Rhoda stood up.
“He’s some loan shark who borrowed Ariana money. Oliver, Go through your system and see, if you can get any loan company that has a ‘Ma Clara’ as the boss” He responded, taking off his mask.
“Yes, Boss” Oliver bowed.
*Rinnggg*
“Huh?? Oliver? Aren’t you gonna pick that? You ignored it then, too” Cindy frowned.
“Mind your business” Oliver said, and checked his phone.
“Aiiish” He muttered, bitterly, seeing ‘Gina’ as the caller.
*I’ll call you later* Oliver quickly sent a text to her.
“I had better end things with her quick, before it leads to something else I can’t leave” He sighed.
After several tappings of the system, he finally got something.
“Boss!” Oliver called.
Malcolm slowly walked to him. He turned to see Ariana still sleeping.
“Does she sleep like this?” He thought, and looked away, irritatedly.
“So, what’s up, Bob?” Malcolm asked, folding his arms.
“Ma Clara….That’s her. A loan shark
” Oliver pointed at the computer screen.
Everyone gathered and looked at it.
Her picture was there. She was a chubby looking woman, probably in her late 40s. She had red plumpy cheeks.
Her face looked hostile and mean. Her black hair was short, as it fell on her neck. Her eyebrows looked fierce and thick.
Her lips pouted out, weirdly.
She had a, not too large mole underneath her left nostrils.
“She’s the owner of Come n’ Go Loan Company” Oliver read.
“Located at Namhae” He added.
“Come n’ Go?…” Cindy laughed.
“Its an illegal loan company. What were you expecting?” Malcolm scoffed, lightly.
“Next stop…Namhae” Malcolm whispered.
Just then, Ariana opened her eyes, and yawned tiredly.
Oliver quickly closed the system.
“Ariana? You up?” Malcolm asked.
She sat upright and nodded.
“It was quite sometime, right?” She murmured.
“Its fine…” Malcolm said.
Oliver stood up.
“Huh…Excuse me boss, Can I leave if we ain’t too busy now?”
Malcolm nodded lightly.
Oliver smiled and quickly walked out.
*V’s Coffee Shop. Let’s meet there* Oliver sent this to Gina, took his motorcycle and raced away.
“Ariana?? Can we talk in private?” Malcolm asked. written by sommy pearl f.
“Sure…” She replied, softly.
****
“Sir?? I mean,,, excuse me? What did you just say?” She whispered.
Malcolm sighed heavily, pocketed his hands and looked at her perturbed, puzzled face.
“Move to my place. There’s a room you’d like” He said.
Ariana blinked her eyes, and swallowed hard, nervously.
She quickly took her eyes down.
“Huh…Okay…” She whispered.
