Episode 2

The same night—

Inside the room standing there is a man. He nervously stand there waiting for his boss to regain conscience. The boss slowly open his eyes and because of his injuries, he left out a groan as he tried to stand up.

"The doctor said you have to rest as much as possible in order to heal you wound faster." The man in black suits said and the boss lay back down to his bed.

"I'm sorry for returning late, sir. I promised I would protect you no matter what but I failed." The man apologized. He lower his head ready to get punished by his boss.

"It's okay as long as you're fine. But anyway, what happened to those people?" The boss asked. The man look a little bit confused. At the first day of his job he heard a rumor that said the boss is as cold as ice and that he never accepted anyone who make a mistake. But the boss right now is different from what he heard.

"I lost them, sir. I'm sorry for disappointing you." He said.

"Leo... It's fine. Did you close the bar?" The boss asked.

"No, sir. Chase took care of it." Leo replied.

"Okay, I'm going to rest now. You can go back to your place. I'll be fine at home so you don't need to worry."  The boss said and Leo nod.

Leo start this job a month ago and he never had this long conversation with his boss like this. Actually, he was scared. It was his very first job and after hearing a rumor from the customer, he would be on guard of what he do. He didn't want to make a mistake. He didn't want to get fire from the very first job he gets so he was always be careful of what he did until last night that he make a mistake.

Leo left out a sigh of relief.

"I was worried for nothing." He softly said.

The next day

Campus

"Alice! You're here so early! Do you know what happened last night?" Elena, Alice close friend asked as soon as she entered the class room.

"No." Alice quickly replied with a stern look on her face. She's still thinking about the man she met last night.

"I want to talk to you about what happened last night but you're not curious at all. At least try to pretend you're curious." Elena said rolling her eyes. She pulled out the chair and take a seat right beside Alice.

"Alright, what happened last night?" Alice turned her head to Elena giving her full attention.

"I was almost kidnapped last night. I was walking home after going to store and suddenly three man approached me. They look suspicious and so I ran as fast as I could but they ran faster than me so they caught me. One of them hold me and one covered my head with bags.  As they covered my head I heard a thud. The man who hold me lose his hand on me so I took out the bed on my head. Then I saw two men fighting with the three. One of the man wear black hoodie. As the fight going on I forgot to run—-." She didn't finish her sentences yet but she was cut of by Alice.

"The man in black hoodie? Did he also wear gloves? Is he 6 ft tall and he has this bright aura around him?" Alice asked.

"Yes, he did wear gloves and 6 ft tall but I didn't see any bright light around him. Oh and he was stabbed on the abdomen." Elena said and Alice snapped her fingers.

"That's the one!. I met him last night too.. he was in pain but he refused my help. Such an arrogant but I like him. He's so handsome!"

"OMG girl, you like him as in a romantic way? The almighty angel is liking someone?!" Elena looked surprise. He was Alice friend since high school and she never see Alice likes anyone. This is her first time.

"Elena! You idiot! I don't want to have more attention than I already have." Alice facepalm. She put her head on the table without saying anything else.

Before she knew it, the class is already over. She walked side by side with Elena. She still didn't say anything to Elena.

"Alice, are you angry at me?" Elena feels uneasy as Alice keeps quiet.

"No, why would I be angry at you." Alice replied still lost in thought.

"Then why didn't you talk to me the whole day?" Elena asked.

"I was thinking." Alice replied.

"Thinking about what?" She asked.

"I wondered why someone like me had so much attention. I mean there are a lot of smart and pretty girls in the campus, like you, but why am I the only on receiving attention?" Alice asked curiously.

"You're smart, pretty, and also the type to never give a ****. That's what attracts men." Elena said.

"What are you saying? I do give a **** though. I would slap or punch anyone who mess with me." Alice said.

"That's exactly what I was saying." Elena left out a long sigh. She gave in. She never win against Alice in any way.

"Should we go to bar? I feel like going to bar." Alice said.

"Are you kidding me? We are not even adults yet. I mean we are adult but not the age where we can drink yet." Elena said.

"Who say there's not juice at the bar. Come on!" Alice pulled Elena along with her.

"Alice, your brother going to kill me." Elena said with a worried look on her face.

"Shh! I know you like him but don't say anything. You know him. Nothing good coming out if you tell him. You'll be also doomed like me." Alice said with a freaky laugh.

"Fine! Where should we go? I have never go to bar so I don't know." Elena said.

"Girl, I've never been to one either but I know just one that I want to go. Come on, follow me!"
