“I told you right!!” Cindy suddenly, gushed.
“Well…So,,, what’s gonna happen now?” Malcolm asked, not sparing her a glance.
Cindy touched her jaw.
“From my doctor’s perspective,,, You need to be closer to her. Only then,, will she recover her memories and know the truth behind everything”
Malcolm pinched his brows.
“And how are we gonna do that?”
“Huh…How about making a room for her? Your place is really big and has plenty rooms” Cindy demonstrated, with her long arms.
“Don’t go there” Malcolm warned, pointing a finger at her.
“That’s the only way. Or, do you have a better idea? Besides, she has over stayed her welcome at the hospital. People are beginning to gossip”
“So, now, you expect me to live in the same apartment with someone that tried to kill me??”
“She isn’t gonna kill you…Well, at least, not now”
“Huh!!”
“Hmm…I mean,,, she is a calm type now. I’m sure she’ll freak out if she sees a pistol. She can’t even kill a ÇOçkroach, I bet”

“So,,, what if she moves over at my place, and suddenly recovers her memory. Then, she pretends and kills me without knowing it”
“You want her to move over!” Cindy gushed, relieved.
“Hell no! I’m just saying ‘what if’,, Or don’t you get that??”
“Oh…I got excited for a second. Well, I’m gonna know before hand cause I’ll be constantly scanning her brain. If she acts suspicious and doesn’t want a scan or lays and excuse to avoid it, It means she is well. Trust me about this. My doctor’s life ain’t a lie” Cindy winked.
Malcolm scoffed at her boasts, and took his gaze away.
“And I’m sure, you’re wise too, boss” Cindy said.
“Excuse me?” Malcolm raised a brow, feeling quite insulted.
“I’m sure you’ll know when Ariana recovers her memories too. You notice things easily, don’t you” Cindy smirked, tapped him and left.
Malcolm was still standing and smoking there, when Rhoda went over to him.
“You were here, after all” Rhoda smiled.
“Yeah” He glanced at her.
“So,,, what’s your say now? You saw it yourself. You saw how good I was”
“I don’t understand” Malcolm faked a cough.
“C’mon. Don’t act like you don’t understand. What have you got to say? I really wanna be a part of your group”
Malcolm sighed.
“To be frank, You were quite good-
“Hmm…Quite?” Rhoda pouted.
“Huh…Maybe really good?”
“Maybe?” Rhoda smirked.
Malcolm laughed.
“Oh goodness…Anyways, You were good. You tried. I loved it”
She smiled.
“So?”
“Huh? So?”
“So,,, what’s it gonna be? Am I in or out?”
“Rhoda…”
“I won’t get hurt. Besides,,, Boss is here…for me, right?”
Malcolm sighed and nodded.
“Am I-
“You’re in” He interrupted.
“What!! Really?!” She screamed, jumped up and hugged him.
Malcolm widened his eyes, in shock. The cigarette even fell off his fingers.
Rhoda disengaged from him, and stroked her hair, a bit embarrassed.
“I’m sorry. I was just excited” She muttered.
Malcolm faked a loud cough, and looked at the view.
“Its alright”
Rhoda smiled, and also faced the view.
“I guess, I’ll have a code name like the rest”
“Uh…Your choice..”
“Bullet. Fast as bullet. Dangerous as Bullet. Call me that” She smiled.
“Bullet, it is” He smiled back, looking at her.
“Now,, you wanna tell me?” She muttered. written by sommy pearl f.
“Tell you? Tell you…what?”
“Why you ran back to Korea? Your purpose of coming back here? I mean,,, your connection and everything you had back then, at the mafia’s cartel was strong. Coming here was a hard decision for you, I know. Probably, there was a big reason”
Malcolm took his blinking eyes away.
“Well,,, There is”
Rhoda stared at his side view for a moment, before looking down.
“Mind,,, if you share it with me?” She asked.
“Leo Da Cruz,,, has 6.15 billion dollars here,,, and 100 gold bars in his name”
“Eh…I mean,,, wha…wha…what? 6…bi…billion dollars?? 100 gold bars??” Rhoda stammered, widening his eyes.
“6.15 billion dollars” Malcolm corrected with a smile.
“Is this really true though? No one knew about it”
Malcolm nodded.
“As his trusted consigliere,, He told me about it. He also gave me a code number to get a docvmentary which was the only way to get the money and the gold bars. But up to till now,,, we don’t know how to get about it”
“We?” Rhoda asked.
“Yes. I and my gangs”
“Uh… Do you trust them?”
“Why not? We’ve trained and been together. I helped them all to get stronger to, what they are now” Malcolm smiled.
“So,,, The code. Is it just there? Won’t we tell it to a special person, who would bring this docvmentary and these riches to us”
“Leo Da Cruz just gave me the code and nothing else”
“What’s the co-
“Boss!!! He’s awake!” Cindy scurried over.
“Finally. C’mon” Malcolm walked away, and Rhoda followed her from behind.
