Malcolm swallowed hard.
“But how? How did you both know each other?”
“Well, I use to work in his cartel. That time, he was still a little mafia no one knew about. He was a masked mafia just like you before he got well known and became the government, himself. I was glad the day he took down his mask. That was the same day I humbly retired. We always contacted each other. He told me he finished building the Cruz Mafia’s palace. I ran back to Itay and congratulated the Don, himself. I met with you then but you were still a little, timid lad. Leo told me a lot about you. He also mentioned of how he brought you in after your parent’s died-
“Enough!” Malcolm gnashed his teeth.
“No one asked for my biography” He added.
“Just tell me what I wanna hear. About Ariana Bells”
The code number Leo Da Cruz gave to you holding his huge money and gold bars, was it 30135-U-70?” She suddenly, asked.
“Wha…What? How…How do you know that?”
“Cause I was the personel whom he handed the code to. Besides, the code stands for Come n’ go..” She smiled.
“What do you mean?” He asked.
“C is the 3rd alphabet. O looks like 0(zero). M is the 13th alphabet. E is the 5th alphabet. n, when turned upside changes to u. G is the 7th letter in the alphabet and lastly, we have O which looks like 0(zero) like I mentioned earlier and that’s why we got COME n’ GO=30135-u-70!” She explained.
“So Leo Da Cruz was trying to bring me to you so that I would get everything he owned?”
She nodded.
“I never saw this coming. I think Ariana had a clue about this. Maybe, that why she came here. I’m sure she had other motives than to borrow money”
“Well, My mind didn’t even go there since I never knew her before but she acted suspiciously”
Malcolm’s body was getting better and free.
“Can you give me the CCTV footage of her arrival that day?”
“Sure thing”

“Here” Ma Clara handed him a transparent file.
He saw a flash drive and a very small key in it.
“What the key for?” He looked at her.
“The key is the only lock to the cabin holding the fortune”
Malcolm walked closer to her.
“Where can I find this cabin?” He asked, cooly.
“It’s in the-
*BANG! BANG!! BANG!!!* This continous angry sounded on the door accompanied with gunshots.
Ma Clara widened her eyes and looked at the door.
It was about to fall down.
“What’s happening? Malcolm asked.
“I wish I had an idea” She responded and rushed to the laptop on her desk.
She pressed some buttons and the screen showed what was going on outside.
Some armed men were there.
“Dew! That bastard traitor” She muttered, under her breath.
“Malcolm! You need to leave. Hurry! There’s no time” She said and opened a small secret door.
She pushed him in there.
“What are you doing?” He asked.
“It’s not safe. They are after the key. My men betrayed me. You need to go now. Just continue walking until you get to a smaller door. Unbolt and open it, and you’ll see yourself outside. Leave now! I’ll take care of the rest”
Malcolm sighed and sadly muttered a thank you before leaving.
Ma Clara smiled and closed the secret door and just then the huge door fell down and the men rushed in, pointing their armed weapons at her.
Dew was the leader.
“Dew,,, If someone told me you would ever betray me, I won’t ever believe. You’re my advisor for crying out loud!” Ma Clara shouted.
Dew scoffed, with a wicked grin.
“You know why I’m here. Heard MK is here so I suppose you gave him the key”
“What key? I gave him nothing and you’re an hour late. He left already”
“Then, you’re useless to all of us. RIP,, Ma Clara” He smirked, h@tëfully and shot her dead.
Afterwards, they all ran out and one of Dew’s men entered the huge and very fast jeep.
Dew sat close to him and the rest of his men sat at the back.
“Let’s go now! According to our spy, He drove in with a blue sports car.
5 MINUTES LATER**
“F*ck! How did they arrive just at my tail. This is so risky” Malcolm said, looking at the fast moving jeep.
Dew was shooting him down.
Malcolm couldn’t even shoot well cause he was on the hot seat.
He couldn’t compare his car with the jeep too.
“F*ck sh!t” He muttered seeing a dead end. He followed the wrong route.
He inhaled deeply and glanced at the back to see the jeep speeding towards him.
He held the steering wheel tightly and made an abrupt turn.
He started driving towards the jeep.
“What’s he doing? Its even better. This jeep will kill smash him into ruins. Let’s thank him for making our work much easier” Dew smirked.
Malcolm rushed to them, roaring mightily, like an angry, wounded lion.
