New Girl In Town
Part 7
Mal and Tiqi was at home, having breakfast, when a glass broke into pieces. Mal had a hunch that something would happen to his friends. He began to worry.
"What's wrong, dear? You seem to be troubled", wondered Tiqi.
"I think we better pay a visit to Zahn's house. I believe something's not right there", replied Mal. In just minutes, the couple took their coats and went out hurrily. Tiqi knew that when her husband predicted something, he was far more helpful than lazing his butt around the house.
-
Back in Aeonex and Zahn's place, everything was in silence. Everyone had gathered in the living room, sitting on the sofas. Even Zahn's cat, Fifi, was lying on the center table, hearing the human conversation. Ryuuziq then told the whole story.
-
"Your new neighbour's full name was Leah Dizon. A.k.a, Leah the Devil. She works under an international crime syndicate. She was one of the captains there until the bounty on her head rises to $3,000,000. This is because she killed her own boss, who owned a city in Panama. If I'm not wrong, the name of the boss was Crocodile. And this may also be the reason why she moved into this area", explained Ryuuziq.
-
Zahn and Aeonex stared at Ryuuziq for a while. They never thought that Leah was a really bad girl, especially for Zahn. Leah was only sitting in one corner of the sofa, looking down on the floor. Zahn wanted a direct answer from her,"Is this true, Leah?". She only nodded her head, tears slowly dripping down her face. The sky then started to become darker.
-
Aeonex tried to calm Zahn down. He, above all, knew that Zahn was not easily moved. Zahn looked outside the window for a second. Rain started to pour heavily as he became more upset. He didn't know who believe in anymore. Even Fifi sensed that his heart was hurt. It then got up on its feet and went towards him. The moment it tried to jump from the table to his laps, he quickly ran away from the house. Leah wanted to follow him but Aeonex prevented her. "I think we better leave him alone for a while. He just needs some fresh air", said Aeonex.
-
Lightning was striking so loudly. It seemed as though nature was responding to Zahn's emotion. But the waiting time was only for a short while for the others when a group of hooligans barged into the house. Ryuuziq and Aeonex was standing in shock to see five people dressed in business suits, armed with bats.
The captain, Mr. Sunday, was dressed as similar as his men. The only difference was, he had a long scar from his forehead to his lips. He demanded politely, "Miss Leah, you need to come with us. The boss is expecting you".
"What? He's not dead yet? But I will never go back!", asserted Leah.
"Then I'm sorry. We have to take you by force", he replied.
-
A minute had passed. Ryuuziq and Aeonex was being beaten to a pulp. Fifi was scratching one of the men by the face. Leah could not even lay a finger to help them. But they were all lucky as Mal and Tiqi had came to their rescue. Mal was a five-time boxing champion. And Tiqi, on the other hand, was counted as his own partner. They fought furiously, without having one small scratch themselves. The group of hooligans had to retreat. However, they managed to kidnap Leah and escaped in small black van.
-
"Are you guys ok? Who were those guys?", asked Mal.
"Well we wouldn't be alive without your presence. Those guys got something to do with Zahn's new girl, Leah", answered Ryuuziq. Ryuuziq and Aeonex was injured badly. Their hands and limbs were covered in blood. Even their mouths were spitting blood all over the floor. But even in bad conditions, they could still smile. Aeonex and Ruyuziq had been longing for these kinds of fights to happen. It wasn't their first experience.
-
Mal and Tiqi brought Ryuuziq and Aeonex to the nearby clinic for medical attention. All of them hoped that Zahn would return home safely. Soon, the sun was starting to set.
