I was ready to go to the pizza store in town when Tony called me. He was running to my direction with something in his hand.
” Natalie!” I stopped with my hands in my pockets. ” You look like you’re going some where.” He said.
” Yeah, I want to buy some thing to eat for dinner. ”
” Well, I brought us this. ” He said, raising the packaged bag to me.
” You brought us pizza?” I asked to my amazement.
” I know it’s not up to your taste but I… ”
” Come on, Tony, when will you learn that I don’t care about all those stuffs. Though every rich girls would be like that but I’m different.
Come on, let’s get this done with. ” We sat by the staircase, with one slice of the pizza in our hands, we broke down the pizza in our mouth.
” Mmm… you know my special kind of pizza.” I hummed at its delicious taste. ” We need some thing chilled to gulp it down.” I said, standing to my feet.
” I’ll go get us something to drink.” I went to the freezer, picking two glass of coke, heading back outside.
” Here.” I gave Tony one while I took the other. We are and drank to our satisfaction.
Leaning by the both edge of the stairs, we started an unending discussion. I’d admit, I really love having a conversation with Tony.
He was good to talk to, unlike Draco who kept this stone coded face almost all the time.
” So how did you get to know about Mr Luciano?” I asked.
” At first, I was a taxi driver. Until one day, his car broke down by the road side, he stopped me and asked me to take him home.
I never knew who he was, though from his appearance, one can guess he was pretty wealthy. I was miles away when I discovered he had left the car without his case.
So, I had to drive back to the mansion to give it back to him. I never expected anything in return, I just loved my job that’s all.
Two days later, I got a call from an unknown number which turns out to be one of the agent of Mr Luciano. I was called to his office and boom.. he hired me to be his driver. ”
” Wow. You know, they always say, good works pays. You deserved it. ”
We went on with more and more conversations, checking on the time it was some minutes to nine.
We heard the sound of the gate open, and the car light which shun from the far distance of the gate to our side.
” I think he’s back.” He said.
He stepped out of the car after a brief moment the car had halted.
With his case in one hand and the other in his pocket, he walked towards our direction.
His eyes moved from me to Tony then back at me, saying no word, he walked past us to the building.
I looked at Tony who bit his l-ips from saying anything, but I couldn’t hold mine so I bursted out laughing, then he followed after.
” He’s gonna torture us for this, you know. ”
” He’s doing shit nothing to us. Don’t worry about him, let’s get back to our discussion. ”

They had spent an extra hour outside. She yawned heavily, stretching hærd.
She was feeling so tired, her eyes feeling so heavy and dizzy that she wanted to get some sleep.
The sitting room was dark when she entered. She searched for the switch, when she found it, she turned it on.
For the second time, she was walking in to see him sitting on the three sized chair. And she keeps wondering what was so special about the dark.
She walked past him, but was halted by the sound of his voice. ” I need your help.”
Natalie didn’t want to believe the fact that he had said a word to her and of all, he was actually asking for her help.
” What help?” She turned to him.
” There’s a club at the complex downtown, I need your help with some stuffs which are very important to me. ” He said.
” What stuffs? ” She asked, fussing her hands in her back pocket.
” It doesn’t matter what it is, what matters is getting in and out of that building. ”
” Excuse me, if I tried digging into your business but I’m sorry I can’t let you borrow me for some business I can’t know about. If you don’t wanna talk, then you better let me go to my room… in peace. ”
She turned to leave, ” Wait. ” He stopped her on hee track. ” Fine. His name is Gennaro Lutor, he’s the owner of the complex hall.
I need to get in there and take back what belongs to me and the only way to do that is create a distraction. ”
” You want me to distract the so-called Gennaro Lutor just to get in?”
” Yes.”
” What’s so precious about this stuff of yours he has? ”
” It’s a treasure worth 3.5 million USD. He’s gonna trade on it tomorrow night and I need to have it back before the auction. ”
” So? ”
” So, all you have to do is to get me his cell phone. ” She rose an eye at him. ” It contains the code to the chamber the treasures are kept and it contains a detector.
So if we have it, he won’t know when we go in and out of the chamber. Are you in or not? ”
” I’ll try. ” He rose his eyebrow, ” I’m not so good at distraction so don’t get high hopes yet. But fine, I’ll help you get the treasure. Just give me a minute to change. ”
He was dressed up, impatiently waiting for Natalie to show up. He was on a conversation when she finally appeared.
She wasn’t putting on a hat this time, just dressed on her black sleeveless gown with a V shaped neck, exposing some parts of her milky br-asts.
Her brown long hair rested down to her shoulders, her long lashes flapped each second she blinked. Her red l¡pstick dark as blood,
Her fingers are as lotus flower. Butts full, wa-ist narrow and the body hugged gown had only made it all worst.
” Okay.” He ended the call. Feeling impatient at Natalie’s delay, he turned only to find the elegant figure staring at him. The glance of her eyes is gorgeous.
His gaze journeyed from head to toe, as if he was seeing her for the first time. Natalie felt uncomfortable under his gaze, looking away.
” Let’s get going.” He said and they trailed out of the mansion to the car, zooming out of the compound.

~ AT THE COMPLEX HALL~

They got down from the car, this was the biggest club she has ever seen. He waited until she got to where he stood.
Curving his arm, she hesitated to take hold of it. They trailed in to the building.
Standing at a corner, Draco’s eyes searched around for Gennaro. ” There he is.” He said, giving her an eye sign to his direction.
” Remember what I told you, you distract him for his cell phone. It’s right at his right pocket, you know what you have to do. Meet me at the second floor, but try to keep your head safe from the cameras. They’re everywhere. ”
She inhaled, exhaling heavily.
She walked passed Gennaro who was busy with his group of friends. She sat by the bar joint, her eyes glaring at him.
When their eyes finally made eye contact, she took it off pretending to be requesting for a drink. ” I need a glass, please.” She said.
” Make it two.” Said a voice from behind. ” Don’t worry about the payment, I’ll handle it.” He winked at her.
” Do you have a company?” He asked after a sip.
” No. I came alone.”
” Well, I’m gonna keep you company for tonight.” Natalie tried not to look so surprised.
She turned to look at him, faking a smile on her face. When the waiter served them, she adjusted herself that they were face to face.
Natalie’s eyes had already sighted the phone in his pocket.
She was scared not to make a mistake or Draco will possibly have her dead.
” Would you mind for a dance?” He asked,
” Sure.” She didn’t hesitate.
All he was saying ended up in deaf eyes. Natalie’s attention was at the phone.
She was thinking on how to go with sneaking her hand into his pocket and taking it off like she did nothing.
She wasn’t good at the criminal tactics, and Draco might be waiting for her to show up.
She sighted a waitress walking towards their direction, she turned in a way the drink will spill on her.
She purposely stretched her leg to the waitress causing her to fall but luckily, it didn’t spill on her again.
” Oh, I am so sorry.” She pretended, helping her get to her feet.
The waitress left and they continued dancing. The dance was becoming boring and she was tired of it already.
He pulled her to his chest, grazing his l-ips on her ear. She sneaked her hand to the back of his pocket, slowly but gently taking his phone out.
She sighed heavily at her victory. When he was now staring at her, she faked a grin. ” My pleasure.”
” Mr Lutor.” Someone called.
They stopped dancing, turning to who had called. ” What is it?” He asked the person.
” You’ve got a visitor. ” He informed.
Turns to her, ” I’m sorry this have to come up. See you around. ”
” Of course. ”
She waited for him to go before she diverted her way to the second floor using the elevator.
When she got there, her eyes were up in order to avoid the cameras.
There were rooms everywhere that she couldn’t tell where Draco could be.
She felt a hand hold her, dragging her to a corner. She almost scre-ming but the hand was too quick to cover her mouth.
She calmed down when she discovered it was Draco. ” You were followed.” He said.
” What?” She yelled in a whisper.
” Did you…” She didn’t let him finish his statement, she stretched the phone at him.
” This is it, right?”
He was surprised she was able to get it from him without getting caught.
He didn’t let the thoughts trouble him, so he went ahead hacking Gennaro’s cellphone to get the code.
Natalie was desperate to see what it is that was in there. When the door finally opened after a hell of two minutes, they entered the room.
