Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ariana who only looked around, with slightly widened eyes and pouted lips.
“Why is she here though?” Oliver broke the silence.
“Wait,,, did she finally move in? I thought you said you weren’t-
Malcolm stood up, quickly, interrupting Cindy’s speech. written by sommy pearl f.
“Ariana finally moved in with me, due to some reasons. You don’t have to worry,, we aren’t gonna get too intimate…so-
“We do trust you. So,,, you don’t have to say much” Rhoda uttered, gently and Malcolm smiled shortly.
“Hmm…So,,, now that the thunder has lessened,,, I’m gonna go on my way…to my room,,, so…keep doing what y’all were doing. Bye. Goodnight” Ariana chuckled, nervously and stood up.
“Actually,,, We kinda need your help” Rhoda whispered, and Ariana quickly turned.
“My help? Me? With?” Ariana asked, puzzedly.
“Let her be the spy” Rhoda said, flatly and suddenly.
“What!!” They all shouted, in unison.
“Ariana? Can you…leave all of us. We wanna talk” Malcolm said.
“Sure” Ariana bowed, and walked away.
Malcolm inhaled deeply and looked at Rhoda.
“What was that, you uttered then?” Malcolm asked, trying to suppress his anger.
“Wasn’t that a good idea? It was a good suggestion to me. Since, she was once a good spy,, I’m sure she’s gonna be a better spy now. Besides, no character ever gets old. It only gets better, despite wh@tëver happened”
“So,, out of all peeps here, It gonna be her?? Gosh!” Malcolm said.
“So,,, whom are you suggesting to go, do the spy thingy for you? Cindy? People around there knows her cause they’re quite connected to her hospital”
Malcolm sighed, softly.
“Is it Kev? C’mon. He’s a busy professor and hardly, misses his lecture. Who knows, If he has a girlfriend at school, whom he would wants to see everyday”
Cindy glanced at Kev, and bit her lower lip.
“Is it Ken? This guy has a lots of clients whom he should work for, in the court of law. Or is it, Oliver? What if Gina notices him? What’s he gonna do, afterwards? Probably, Do you wanna spy around there, yourself?” Rhoda raised a brow.
“You’re a celebrity and you ought to be extra careful, and cautious about your lifestyle and movement” Rhoda further explained.
“Or,,, perhaps…Should I go?” Rhoda asked, softly.
Everyone looked at Malcolm.
Malcolm didn’t want Rhoda away from his sight.
What if something happens to her again? And what if, she finds it hard to save herself like she did, the last time.
“Rhoda does have a point” Cindy agreed, with a nodding head.
Rhoda gave a quick smile. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“You know what,,,Let’s call that spy…I mean,, Ariana. She got work to do” Malcolm said.
“But…boss? While at this,,, She’s gonna know our secrets. She’s gonna know you’re a mafia. She’s gonna know- Oliver got interrupted, immediately.
“Let her know then. She’s gonna retrieve her memory soon, and she will be dead, as planned. So, we shouldn’t worry much” Malcolm said.

“What? Ma…Ma…fia? Wow. I thought you guys only existed in movies and fictional novels!” Ariana squeaked.
Everyone shared, meaningful glances.
“Wait…So,,, so…that huge building situated in the dark woods and forest was your hide out?! So awesomeeee!!”
“Can you stop exaggerating? Its…its quite annoying” Cindy shook her head.
“I’m sorry. I’m just really excited” Ariana smiled.
“You should understand her. Things like this happen” Rhoda smiled.
Ariana smiled back at her.
“Oh,,, You said you need my help. What’s that?” She asked.
All eyes were now on Malcolm.
“Why are you guys staring at me?” He raised his eyes up.
“You gotta answer, boss. She asked a question” Ken said.
Malcolm cleared his throat, loudly, and looked at Ariana, who looked back at him.
“I’m gonna make this quick, okay?”
She nodded.
“Be part of us. Be ‘my’ spy” He muttered.
“Your spy?” Rhoda raised her brows.
“I mean,,, Our spy” Malcolm quickly corrected.
Ariana jumped up, and nodded, vibrantly.
“Yes! Yes! Yes! I wanna be y’all spy!!”
Malcolm smiled, and nodded shortly.
“But,,, excuse me, mister?” She called.
“Mister?” Cindy chuckled, strongly, and others joined.
Malcolm scoffed and turned to Ariana.
“What’s it?” He asked.
“What does a mafia spy do?” She asked.
Malcolm gave a Sëx¥ smile, at once.
