Malcolm bent down, and glared deeply at Ariana’s bleeding and wounded face.
“In case you never know,, I always come to the battlefield prepared” He smirked, and took off few buttons, from his jacket and then his shirt.
He exposed his chest and a silver bullet proof got exposed.
Ariana’s eyes just weakly stared at it.
“So,,, who’s dying now?” He muttered, and took off his mask.
“Boss!!” He heard a loud scream.
He stood up and a car rushly halted, behind the wrecked van.
The door flunged open and his gangs came out from the car.
“Why are y’all la-
“We called,,, You didn’t see it?” Cindy asked, looking at the tinted glass van.
“Kev? Mind if you take down this door?” Cindy asked.
Kev nodded, went to the door, and with his muscled and gigantic arms, he pulled the strong door and it went down, obediently.
“Thanks” Cindy smiled.
She looked inside to see an officer whose head was on the steering wheel.
He was bleeding on his head, since he had hit it hard on it.
Cindy took her fingers to his neck side and breathed deeply.
“He’s just unconscious”
“Who’s he? What’s happening?” Malcolm looked.
He knitted his brows and scoffed.
“The officer I met down the road? Did he tail me?”

“Rather,,, he tailed us” Ken corrected.
“How?” Malcolm asked.
“And why?” He further questioned.
Cindy tilted her head and met a lady almost lying lifeless on the floor.
“Geez,, What happened here? Who’s she? Where is Man mok and his men?” Cindy asked.
“I think they planned to kill us,, They even hired an assassin who knows a lot about me,,, than I know myself. Oliver was wrong after all. There wasn’t a compromise” He frowned.
Oliver just had a confused expression on his face.
“What happened exactly?” Ken asked, walking closer.
“You heard me. This lady knows me. I think she has been spying on me, since day 1 at Milan, and even Seoul”
“Then,,, she tried to harm you?” Kev asked.
“Harm? I wish. She tried to kill me,,, but she got into an accident that will certainly kill her” He sniffed.
“We…gotta save her” Cindy muttered.
They all looked at her.
“Hey,, Are you nuts?” Ken frowned.
“Hey…” Kev warned, him.
“What if she has a point” Kev added.
“I’m not sure she’s working alone” Cindy said.
“She’s working with Man mok,,, definitely” Malcom rolled his eyes.
“You’re a Mafia! A don! You aren’t supposed to be making straight talks like this. What if something went wrong. What if you are wrong? We gotta save her, torture her and hear from her…”
“And then? What if she confesses?” Oliver asked.
“Do you even have a brain up there? After everything,,, We’ll kill her. She dies” Malcolm replied, harshly.
“You….” They all heard a small whisper.
They turned their heads to see the officer.
Officer Jim, precisely, now staring at them.
“Who…are…you…guys?” He kept inhaling deeply, on each word he spoke.

FLASHBACK**
Ken looked back and turned front immediately.
“I think we were all wrong” He uttered.
“Meaning?” His younger twin, Kev turned to face him.
“The officer wasn’t exhausted to flag us down. He’s on our tracks” He replied.
Cindy and Oliver looked behind. Sure enough, Ken was right.
“Sh!t” Oliver cussed.
“As if the wolves weren’t enough. What are we gonna do? We can’t stop. We can’t reverse too. The next U-turn is miles away” Cindy spoke fast.
Kev gasped hard, and held the steering wheel.
“Hold onto your seatbelts” He said.
“Wh…at?” Oliver stuttered.
“The ride is gonna be a bit rough” Kev replied, seeing how close they were, to, Gangi’s seaport.
He swerved the steering wheel, around, sharply, that they all turned sideways.
Kev took the car down, amongst the bushes and it stopped there.
“F*ck. You almost had us killed” Ken said.
“At least, no one died” Kev smiled.
“Whoa,,, He’s so good” Cindy thought, with a smiling face.
“But,,, Malcolm. What if he’s seen. We should call him. The van just drove past us” Kev said, and Cindy shook her head, coming back to reality.
She took her phone and quickly called him, numerous times.
“He isn’t picking” She shook her head.
“Let’s go back then. He might be in trouble if the officer sees him” Ken said.

“Or the officer might be the one in trouble if Malcolm sees him” Kev corrected and Ken smiled.
