Alex glances at the two Nelson’s lackeys. Knowing that Nelson respects Alex, those two decide to step back and leave Dylan alone.And somehow, Nelson has lost his desire to continue dealing with Dylan, and decides to leave. But then, he hears Dylan agitating him.“Heh! Fucking coward!”Nelson stops and glances back. He finds Dylan having difficulties in just trying to stand straight. Yet, that man is still able to mock him.“I know you are just a snotty brat who likes hiding behind your dad’s big name.” Dylan continues taunting him, despite his own condition being quite worrying with face covered in blood. “But your dad is no longer here. He’s dead. Where are you going to hide now?”The truth is, Nelson is indeed a bit doubtful to fight Dylan. He has been beating Dylan for almost half an hour, and
Instead the fact that Alex’s words sound like he is acknowledging him, Dylan feels so humiliated by them. He becomes even angrier, and sends another hit.But because of his anger, his big swing becomes so wide, making it so easy to read. Alex simply steps back once, and avoids that big swing easily.“What was that? Did you seriously try to kill me with one punch? Come on!”Dylan hunts Alex with more punches, but Alex keeps his distance well, not too far, just enough to avoid Dylan’s reach. He simply takes one step back for each hit Dylan delivers.“Stop running away from me!” grumbles Dylan with so much irritation as he sends another punch.Alex gets his head away by pulling his right leg a bit to the back. There he finds that right leg already touching the bottom of the steps behind him.“Okaay!”He knows there’s really no room to step back anymore. Hence, he keeps his left leg in its position, putting an orthodox stance by bending his knees a bit, just a bit.Dylan notices that Alex
Everyone looks confused following their quarrel. They never expected that one fight was sparked with a deep root behind it.“You were just a stranger who suddenly came into our lives,” shouts Dylan desperately. “You never know what it feels like to lose a father when you are just 10.”The two Nelson’s lackeys put on a cringe expression on their faces. For them, kids losing their fathers aren’t that rare in this world.But it’s different with Nelson, who just lost his dad recently. Even he, who can be said to be an adult, is now still filled with feelings of uncertainty after his father left him.Even more so for Alex, who Dylan accuses of not understanding anything about that, knows so well how it feels, more than anyone else. But…“You should be grateful he only got into prison,” utters Al
When Alex reaches home, most of the mess in the house has been fixed. The 5 CCTV cameras that he left this morning have also been installed by Elijah, and have been connected to his computer in the basement. But…“I haven’t changed your bed yet,” Elijah informs while rubbing his forehead. It seems like this old man forgot about that one.“It’s okay! I can buy one myself later,” replies Alex as he escorts the old man out.“You look terrible. Did something happen outside?” Elijah asks.“I just had a fight with some youngsters out there.”“Indeed, most teenagers today don’t know how big this world is. I bet they don’t get enough education at home. I expect you taught them well.”“I don’t know if my teaching suits them or not,” replies Alex with a sigh.Just like usual, he takes the old man to his house. But then, when he is on the way home, he begins doubting his intention to spend the night in his own house.Either because of the thought of the condition of his torn bed, or because he i
“Sorry, I can’t stay here for too long. Actually, Sofia has promised me to take care of you. So, I want you to respect her as well. I don’t want you to create another trouble with her while I’m not around.” The girl can’t say a word, and nods rigidly while wiping her tears. And then, she also notices Sofia coming with her daughter. “Oh, it’s Elly!” However, when she averts her attention back to Dylan, the brother is already walking away, by only showing his wide back at her. Actually, Dylan is still keeping so much money which he got from his scam over Sofia. Indeed everything was only for his sister. But he decides to not give it all to her, worrying that she would just spend everything lavishly like his mother. Giana just lets him leave, knowing how complicated Dylan’s situation is at the moment. She turns around by faking her ignorant face, and then welcomes the cute Elly. That cute little girl also looks so excited, running so wildly by opening her arms. “Aunt Gee!” “Elly!!!
It’s just three pages, not that much to read. But it’s too troublesome for George to do. He simply folds the papers and puts them into his waist bag. As he leaves the mall, his friend, Teddy McDonald, has been waiting on the side of the road with his humble minivan. “Let’s go!” says George as he gets into the minivan. “We need to sell that stuff.” “Heh?!” Teddy chuckles a bit before starting the car. “With how we did it so far, it will take years to sell them all.” “We can’t be impatient with this thing. Wrong move, we lost!” George warns. “For now, better start getting more customers first without attracting too much attention. By selling a constant 20 grams a day, we can get $180,000 a month. That’s more than a CEO’s annual salary.” “It will take us 3 to 5 years to sell all of this heroin. We need to recruit members,” suggests Teddy with an impatient tone. “Stupid. Wouldn’t that mean you have insurance to have 3 or 5 years of job with a monthly salary of $90,000? Having more pe
After getting into a more crowded area, the pursuers notice a police car. There they stop their hunt, and behave normally while meddling into the crowd.The same with George and Ted, they try their best to disappear from them by entering a nightclub.“What about the van?” asks Ted.“What about it?” replies George curtly as if he doesn’t care about the van, because it’s not his van.Ted looks so disappointed with the way George responds to him. Even his reaction seems a little exaggerated, with his face pale as if he has just lost a son.“What? If you want to look for the van, go for yourself,” continues George.“I left our stuff there, bro! They might take it.”“Forget about those small bags. We still have much more in your place.”“No, I took about 2 Kilos and put it inside the glove box,” replies Ted.“Jesus Christ! Why the fuck did you take that many? It’s not like we are going to sell that much in a night,” argues George with a desperate face.But then he remembers that Ted was in
After midnight, Alex takes the time to visit Boris at his Dust Remover before going home. Somehow, he feels his encounter with George was a bit weird. He found George’s excessive fear toward him looked very strange. Okay, maybe he ran away as a normal reaction of people who knew he was guilty. But for Alex, that’s not the George he used to know. That man used to be so pompous, liked to brag and belittled others. “So, it’s true, he has been out of prison?” asks Boris rhetorically. “I’m sure that was him. He immediately ran away after he saw me,” Alex emphasizes. “Does that mean your suspicion he attacked your house is getting stronger?” “On the contrary, I even started to doubt it. Think about it yourself, if it was really him who left such a message like he wanted to settle his issue with me, why would he look so scared?” asks Alex rhetorically to provoke Boris’ curiosity. “I expected him to come to me, stand right in front of me face to face, and then deliver some insults in an a
