The crowd of bystanders all cleared themselves from the road as the police vans came through. They were three of them, all filled to the brim with armed men. All of them on uniform. There were about six vans pulling into the vicinity.The police officers that had been harassing Justin, his assistant, and the couple froze up in place as they heard the blaring sirens. Their faces grew a look of fear as immediately they realized that they were indeed in a really big mess. "What is going on?" One of the policeman said, jumping down from the van. He had splendid looking moustache that coiled upwards. He seemed to have habit of playing with it with his fingers, coiling it all up and letting it fall back into its original shape or form.The rogue police officers turned back in horror to see their Chief of Police standing right behind them. "We can explain sir," one of them said, stuttering really hard. There were beads of sweat dropping off his forehead. Just as his partner. "You see, the

As always, Justin had fewer words to say than whoever he was talking to. He kept staring at the card. Mark seemed to be itching to get the card in his hand and finally inspect it. It seemed awfully familiar to him, but he was not able to have a close look at it for some reason."An underground man huh?" Justin reworded. "I would really like to know what that is, but thanks anyway. I will think of you when I have problems in the "underground" to worry about."The man let out a chuckle. Once again, it seemed like he was coughing. A very dry could. If not for his social skills, Mark felt a bit inclined to ask the man if he had some sort of illness, but he caved back and refused to say a thing if Justin was not going to comment on it."Sure, I will be expecting you to." They shook hands again before he walked away from them, with his wife who had also started to look less drab than she had been looking before. Soon they disappeared into the crowd, as if they had not been just standing t

"He's on his way here." Diana announced, placing her phone on the table. "Do you like it? Is it nice?""Huh?" Lilly looked up with her mouth full. "You know, he can be really annoying. First, he wasn't picking up when you called this morning. And now, he's keeping us waiting here. It almost feels like he doesn't understand what is going on.""Calm down, Lilly. He'll be here soon. He told me that himself, okay?" She sighed heavily as she leaned against the table. "I know this is frustrating. I am also worried about them. But, don't take out your frustration on Meeky. He is going to help us and I know it.""Okay, okay." Lilly shook her head, stuffing the last piece of the pie in to her mouth. "Are you okay with that? Don't worry, I'll ask the waiter to bring another one. Eat up so you will have the strength you need." Lilly smiled widely as her sister spoke. "Waiter." Diana called, snapping her finger in the air."Yes, Ma'am." The waiter appeared within seconds, with his usual homely

Justin's eyes moved down to his plate. He was quiet for some minutes, as he drew imaginary circles on his plate with his fork. He looked up with a blank face and still did not say a word. Mark took a deep breath, wondering if he should go on with the topic or not. Justin was quiet and seemed quite offended but Mark knew he had to deliver his message."He asks about you every time I see him. He's always asking how you are and when you are going to visit him. And every time, I do not know what to tell him. He seems really worried about...""That's enough, Mark. I don't want to hear what he talks to you about, especially if it is about me. If it isn't about work, about any of the companies, then I do not want it. After all, I can manage the businesses on my own." Justin stopped talking and focused on his meal. Mark breathed in and took his phone out, trying to distract himself from the forbidden topic. It was evident that Justin was not interested in any thing that had to do with his dad

Justin saw her but looked away at once. His whole focus on the plate in front of him. Diana was even more surprised than her sister was. Justin looked just as he did when they had seen him with the policemen earlier. She couldn't wrap her head around why what she asked wasn't done. She stared in disbelief for a moment before she finally found the words to speak."Justin and his strange follower? What are you guys doing here?" She asked with the most irritated face ever."What is the meaning of this, you jerk? Why are you everywhere? Are you following us?" She gasped in disbelief, placing her palms against the table."Oh my world! He is stalking us." Diana concluded."Will you two shut your traps and get out of here already?" Mark answered before Justin could say anything. He felt a surge of anger taken over him every time these two came around to insult Justin. "Can't you see that we are having our lunch here? And why the hell would we even follow you?""I'm not speaking to you, Mr Pu
