THE MAFIA’S CARTEL**
“Ariana Bells…15/03/1998, Age 23. Female. Residence; Block 3, FineLand…” Oliver read from the computer.
The others stood behind him.
“Ariana Bells? Her name doesn’t ring a bell” Malcolm shook his head.
“Whoa! The pun!!” Oliver exclaimed, laughing.
“Shut up!” Cindy barked.
“Aiish” He mumbled.
“Who’s this girl, really?! How does she know about me!” Malcolm hit his leg on the desk, in rage.
“Maybe she has been spying on you since day 1?” Kev muttered.
“Spy? That rascal. I’m gonna ki|| her!” He screamed.
“Is there anything you can find about her? Records? What’s more about her residence?” Malcolm asked, pointing at the computer.
Oliver did some diggings and tappings.
“Apparently, Her residence got flooded so,,, It doesn’t exist anymore” Oliver said.
“That Ɓîtçhy human” Malcolm gnashed his teeth, with tightly clenched fist.
“She attended Hope’s High School…which doesn’t exist anymore”

“What? How?”
“The school got burnt down. Everything on her record. Everything about her doesn’t seem to exist anymore” Oliver shook his head.
“What about her family member? Next of kin?? Find something” Malcolm ordered.
“She has no family. Look, She’s an orphan” Oliver pointed at the screen.
“Then,, At what orphanage was she brought up, in?” Ken folded his arms against his chest.
“The orphanage too,, doesn’t exist no more. It ran out of funds,,, and ended up crashing. The orphanage remains,,, but with no single soul in it”
“Sounds creepy. This Ariana, I mean” Kev chucked.
“Okay guys. Since, we haven’t gotten a trace or clue about that…girl,,, Let’s wait till she recovers from her amnesia. We all know the plan, right?”
“Yes boss!!” They all responded.
“Good” Malcolm heaved.
“But…Boss?” Cindy called.
“Where’s Ariana gonna stay? She can’t keep staying at the hospital. R-breeds important staffs are gonna freak out. Let’s not talk about Gina’s parents. They are all gonna scold and murder me. Paying for her hospital bills is what I tried best” Cindy said.
“And we can’t just push her away. We need to keep her close if we wanna get more info about her ” Ken chipped in.
“You have a point. As others would say,,, Keep your friends close,,, but keep your enemies closer” Kev supported his older twin.
“But the problem is, Where’s she gonna stay? Who’s she gonna stay with? Who’s gonna volunteer?” Oliver smirked.
“I think you’re a good option, Cindy. You’re a female,,, just like her” He quickly added.
Cindy squeezed her face.
“I enjoy my space alone. I ain’t bringing any soul to my place. Malcolm, As your cousin, I decline bringing that…that girl to my place” She stubbornly shook her head.
Malcolm scratched his head.
“She definitely won’t be staying with me. Never!” He grunted.
“Why can’t she live with you then, Oliver?” Cindy spat.
“Oh,,, Just remembered. Someone is gonna be f_cking her each day” Cindy laughed.
“Hey! You’d better watch your mouth!” Oliver barked, and stood up, glaring at her.
“Watch it for me then!” She barked back.
“Enough!!!” Malcolm roared, and they quickly composed themselves.
“Well,,, How about Ariana living with us?” Kev asked.
Ken folded his lips.
“You think she’ll agree?”
“No!” Cindy screamed, facing Kev.
“She. Is. Certainly. Not. Gonna. Stay. With. You!”
“Not on my watch!” She further said.
“But no one is willing to make space for her” Kev stated.
“We will find another way” Cindy blinked her eyes
Suddenly, Kev’s phone made a beep. He checked it out and smiled.
“I gotta go. I have lectures now. As a lecturer, I shouldn’t be whiling away time. See y’all” He waved.
Cindy pouted and waved back.
When he left, She looked down, smiling.
*Riinnggggg*
Cindy quickly took out her phone. She swiped green and placed the phone against her ear.
“Sh!t!!” She exclaimed, keeping the phone back into her pocket.
“What…What’s it?” Malcolm asked.
“Ariana. The nurse called me. She said Ariana escaped. She left!” Cindy screeched.
“Hell no!!” Malcolm shook his head, and ran outside.
The others followed as well.
Malcolm jumped into his sporting car.
While Ken and Oliver fitted themselves in Cindy’s car.
“Do you think her amnesia id gone?” Oliver asked, curiously.
“I don’t know” Cindy muttered, driving, right behind Malcolm.
“He’s too fast. Try and keep up” Ken told her, and she nodded.
“Malcolm is gonna be so mad” Cindy sighed.
“Well,,, do you think its possible for her to suddenly and quickly regain her lost memories? Its so fast you know” Ken said.
Cindy blinked her eyes, holding onto the steering wheel tightly.
“Actually,,, Its…very possible”
“Dammit” Oliver muttered, rubbing his palm against his forehead.
