109. Book

It had already been a month since Li Zhilan had returned back to Itaka High. Everyday brought back it's very own excitement.

''Damn it. Where did I keep it? The hell man. Where...'' Lucus was searching through every nook and corner of his room making a mess out of everything.

The other four monkeys kept on watching as the once sparkling clean room turned messy due to a typhoon named Lucus Knight.

''What are you searching for Knicus?'' Li Zhilan was the only one who could raise the doupt in everyone's mind. So she did that too while munching on an apple.

''My book. The one where I wrote my stories-"

''Ahem Ahem...'' Loud coughing and choking sounds filled the entire room and the culprit was currently beating her chest in order to push down the food. Everyone quickly helped her as her face turned red except Lucus who looked on with a suspicious pair of eyes.

''Zhizhi, what did you do?'' Lucas had his arms folded and his body at his full length. But that wasn't the most scary part. The scariest were his eyes. They were so freaking dangerous.

''I may have took your book while you were not here.'' Li Zhilan's voice had turned soft like that of a child's.

''And then.'' but Lucas's voice was still very cold and strong.

''And then I took it to a cafe to read and then they brought snacks and... and I seemed to have forgotten it there.''

''Zhizhi!'' This time it wasn't a single person's voice. Instead it was that of multiple boys and they were all shouting. Among the five of them, there was none who didn't know about eachother and among them, the only person who was very active in dreaming, who had his goals set was Lucus. He wanted to become a writer which his parents agreed to without a problem. And that book was his treasure cove. That book held all his ideas throughout his life. It was something that he cared about more than his life and death a certain someone seemed to have forgotten it AT A CAFE. What if someone has already taken it. That would be a huge trouble.

Just then, Lucus's phone went off with an unfamiliar number on the screen on display.

''Hello? Who is this.''

''Hello. Is this Mr. Lucus?'' The voice on the other end seemed bold and husky giving that 'very cool' kinda feeling.

''Yes? Who is it? How did you get my number? What do you want?''

''Mr. Lucus, don't worry. I found you book in a cafe and you number was written in it. I just want to meet up with you and maybe even discuss some business with you.''

''What business? I don't do that. Just give me my book back.''

''Even if its for that, I think you have to meet me Mr. Lucus, for I have to pass it to you, personally.''

''Are you threatening me?''

''You got me wrong. Why don't we meet up to clarify-"

"Hello who ever is on the other side. Why don't you just give the book back. Do you know that it was me who lost it so every moment you talk nonsense over there, the more I'm getting punished over here. So cut the crop and give it back.'' Li Zhilan had snatched the phone from Lucus's hands and said because she was scared. The more Lucus was on the phone, the icier his face was becoming and the lower the temperature around him was decreasing to.

''Let's meet ok? Tomorrow afternoon at three. See you then. Beep Beep Beep''

The other party had hung up as soon as he was done speaking while the group of monkeys looked on with wide mouths.

''Since you are responsible for the loss, you will go and retrieve it back. Any problem?'' Lucas's voice was cold to the point of freezing but Li Zhilan's wasn't to far as well.

''No problem.''

The two of them smiled in a creepy way that the other three monkeys couldn't help but shiver in fear. The other part had done it. The eldest and the youngest in their group is known to have very calm personalities but more then that, their violent personality was more well known. They were like a soft flowing river which will sweep everything in its way once enraged.

'This person is going to have a tough time.'
