THE GANGSTER'S OBSESSION!
THE LONGEST NIGHT AND THE FIRST ENCOUNTER
In the lit city of Shingai, a bar at the corner of the most quiet alley was the loudest one, even in the December's longest night.
Yeah it was the longest night of year
22nd of December.
Families shopping for Christmas!
But gangster...
They had no mercy even for the upcoming holiday...
That's how they worked.
Callan Stones
(smoking his cigar)
Erica Huston
(stands besides him)
Erica Huston
So you're the gangster who owns this place.
He gave a simple nod as if he didn't want to talk or as if he was too tired to.
Erica Huston
Come in the room 215. I wanna have a chat with you.
He was annoyed... But he followed her.
He knew what would come next... He surely did!
They sat in the room, only her voice was heard.
Erica Huston
I need you to take care of her.
Erica Huston
(throws some pictures on the table)
Callan Stones
I am a gangster... Not an assassin.
I DON'T KILL!
His tone was as firm as his belief.
Callan Stones
I just give nice beatings to trash cans like me.
Callan Stones
I don't harm girls, after all I have balls!
Erica Huston
So you won't do it?
Callan Stones
Want me to speak to you in English?
Just because you're blonde doesn't mean you have to be that dumb!
The VIP room's door opened by a thud and just before Callan can even see what was happening he saw something jump on Erica.
And then he heard a scream.
A girl was continously punching her face while sitting on top of her.
Erica Huston
(scream)
You wench!
Maven Jane
(teary eyes)
(saw a picture in her hand)
Maven Jane
I TOLD YOU NOT TO HURT HER DIDN'T I?
(screaming)
Callan Stones
*By the looks of her, she is a college student*
Callan Stones
*But how did she pass through such a heavy security*
Erica Huston
CALL YOUR MEN!
Maven Jane
(lands a big punch on her face)
Callan Stones
(sitting on the sofa)
Maven Jane
(Staring at him with cold eyes)
Maven Jane
So you were hired to kill my friend?
Callan Stones
Are you talking to me?
Maven Jane
Are you a blonde too? Is there anyone else in the room.
Maven Jane
(takes a pocket knife out of her jacket)
Maven Jane
(puts it at his neck)
Maven Jane
If I see you near my best friend, I will slash your throat.
Callan Stones
Can I ask something? How did you come here through the heavy security?
Callan Stones
You can't harm the guards... You're not that good!
Callan Stones
(saw an earring on the floor)
THE WORSE TIMING!
Maven Jane
Finally graduated!
Maven Jane
Medical school was not an easy shit!
(giggles)
Lilian Wang
Yeah I have lost all my hairs, but now that I hold this degree... I am thankful.
She looked up at the sky... The sun was shining Brightly.
It was 22nd of December but the sun never reminded her of that, instead her mind did.
She was still looking up...
Her brown eyes were showing their true colours to her.
Lilian Wang
You think that man is still...
Maven Jane
(slaps her hand)
Don't talk about bad things in the greatest moment.
Lilian Wang
(smiles)
Yeah You're right!
So should we go and eat something!
Maven Jane
A good day requires good food to make it better.
Lilian Wang
And It requires a good friend to make it the best.
They both laughed at the same time.
Maven and Lilian have been friends since they were seven. It's not like they never fought... But they always knew how to reconcile.
They always loved matching.
They both were only child but also each other's siblings.
Everyone was amazed how their friendship lasted.
They were walking around the same alley Maven walked that day 5 years ago.
Lilian Wang
I wonder why that man stopped ...
Maven Jane
Can you please just stop... Just not today please?
Maven Jane
Why do you keep bringing up the past that was buried a long time ago?
Maven Jane
If time is giving you opportunity to heal ... Take it!
Maven Jane
Time has proven to you that, that man will never return... And trust me he won't.
Maven Jane
Stop torturing yourself.
Lilian Wang
I still get nightmares these days?
Maven Jane
How many times?
Her annoyed tone changed into a concerning one within moments.
That's how you behave with a loved one... You're angry about how they give themselves a hard time... and at the same time you have to console them.
Lilian Wang
Not much! But It forces me to think my existence.
Maven Jane
If someone hurted you, I will kill them.
Maven Jane
Don't you wanna wnjoy the meal?
Maven Jane
Should we just go and tuck ourselves in the bed?
Maven Jane
Should we not celebrate this big day?
Lilian Wang
We really need to...
Maven Jane
(gave her a big smile)
The waiter served them the hotpot...
Lilian Wang
It looks so tasty
(picks up her chopsticks)
The waiter was looking at a different table.
Maven Jane
Excuse me can I get some chilli oil?
Lilian Wang
This shit already looks so spicy.
The moment their eyes met... Both of them got a raced heartbeat.
At one side Maven never wanted to see the face of this man.
And on the other side that weird gangster was always looking forward to meet her one day.
Callan Stones
Such a worse timing Madam.
(smirks)
Callan Stones
We are out of chilli oil!
This time she was the one who wanted to ask him a question... But he left... Just like her... Like she ignored his question 5 years ago.
HE KNEW HOW TO MAKE THINGS EVEN!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OR ALMOST DEATHDAY?
Lilian Wang
Should I put some corn in it?
Maven Jane
(tapping her fingers on the table)
Lilian Wang
Should I put some corn in it...
Maven Jane
(stood up suddenly)
Lilian Wang
Are you alright? (concerned)
Maven Jane
Going to restroom. Will be quick!
Maven went to the restroom and washed her hands... She looked here and there, but couldn't find that mysterious guy.
She was scared but she had to put him in place... So he won't come to them.
Suddenly her eyes diverted to something red.
Something red on the stairs going to the roof.
She followed... Was he here to kill someone?
That's why his eyes were wandering, to a table.
But that table had a small family. Why would he try to kill a family?
What was the reason... Do bad people even need reasons?
She climbed up the stairs and went on the roof...
Callan Stones
(holding his chest)
Huff... Huff
Maven Jane
(ran towards him)
(put her fingers inside the wound.
Maven Jane
It's not that deep... But you need to go to the hospital.
Maven Jane
I will call the ambulance
(dials a number)
Callan Stones
(held her hand)
Callan Stones
Don't... (faint voice)
Don't call them...
Maven Jane
Do you want to die?
Callan Stones
Just don't inform the hospital!
Maven Jane
Listen to me... I am a medical student I can't help much, but I will try my best.
Maven Jane
I need to remove your shirt.
Maven Jane
Yeah I know... Just keep talking!
Callan Stones
Callan Stones.
She was making him talk, so he doesn't lose his consciousness... She was also seeing the location of wound.
Maven Jane
(removes her neck scarf)
Maven Jane
(ties it tightly around his abdomen)
Callan Stones
My ribs! They... Are breaking!
Maven Jane
It means I am doing it right.
Maven Jane
Do you know any person who I can call?
Callan Stones
In my pants... Pocket
She took out a card from his pants and called that number.
That person picked up and told her they were coming.
Maven Jane
They are coming!
Maven Jane
How is your pain level?
Callan Stones
Don't talk...
Maven Jane
Answer me, you can't faint.
Callan Stones
It's too much... Unbearable
Maven Jane
Who did this to you?
Callan Stones
An assassin.
Maven Jane
What is your age?
Callan Stones
I turned 30 today.
Suddenly some men jumped on the roof and gathered around Callan.
Maven Jane
You're my first patient... Make sure to strive
And don't make your birthday, your death day.
Maven Jane
Or else , I will be disappointed
They carried Callan... He didn't talk but he looked at her... Not trying to shut his eyes.
Maven Jane
(came back in restroom and wahed her hands)
Lilian Wang
You took so much time.
Maven Jane
(sat on the chair)
Well... I had some cramps and...
Lilian Wang
(laugh)
Say directly that you went to empty your mighty bowel.
She saw the table, the family was almost done with their dinner.
