Chapter -38

(Mint POV)

I was experiencing a full battle scene, even I didn't want others to get involved in this but unwilling I have circle others in this mess. I don't know but the situation said it's necessary to take others too.

I remember when got me to strike my legs down for a while I can see my friend was fighting with a full force and energy inside of them. the enemy, they came in full force. with hockey sticks and base bat in their hands. rumbling towards us, while dragging down Max with them. I saw him subconscious but still, he wasn't given up yet.

" Please don't hurt them, please leave them alone."

he said those words, but his begging wasn't enough I guess. a sudden gust of kick over his face k.o his senses down, now he was countess completely. it angers me when the second strike hit his face with those dirty shoes. I'll shout at them.

"don't dare to."

while struggling with my own opponent. we all were doing our duty full faithfully. there was the only thing I haven't mentioned where is Kim? he was driving, right?

the answer.

Kim was Hiding behind the walls beside them. he was searching for perfect opportunity when their mind let off from Max. when that happens, he will drag him with him to the other side, where the car is going to come driven by Han. the perfect opportunity came. when I Eric and I ran to the otherwise they follow us leaving Max behind with only one other member of there minions. Han quickly got the car and Martin was with him.

Kim now takes force knocked down the men and carry Max with the support of his right shoulder and take him to the spot.

Han quickly drives to the spot and picked then up.

"Oh! God, how can they do this? he is beaten so bad."

Martin shows his worry about Max. conditions.

"Should we take him to the hospital?"

"I don't think so. we can't go there. it's an illegal case, they were lone sharks minions, if we go to hospitals they definitely ask cause for it moreover they can call to police, Max can get into trouble. so, no. I'll know some doctors. let's drive to my house first it's empty now. I'll call the doctor and we will have his treatment there."

"fine."

"Martin one thing I forget to tell you. Mint is unaware of this loan. don't tell him ok. Max asked me not to tell him. he doesn't want to tell him if he does Mint have already given him money but he already asked Mint for more so he didn't want Mint for any more unconvinced. I wanted to give him demand was too big for me too and also he didn't want him to depend on any of his friends."

"0"

"Please keep it secret."

(on the other side. Eric and Mint were running they got separate at the corner.)

Eric already calls Freddie to catch up with me at the other side of the bus stop road. so I ran and ran, I saw Freddie with his car at the corner to catch up.

I quickly get to him and ask him to drive as fast as he can. we drove away. when I look back I saw then retreating. in this running and chasing, I totally forget about Eric.

-------------------------

I got a call from Kim to come to his house they were there. we drove as fast as we can. when we a ricer there we saw a van is was just behind us. the rapidly get themselves out of the van. and came running to us.

"We got you the head of the minions started."

I don't think we can run any furthermore. Freddie was there I saw him he was going to take the charge for here. but I stopped him as I can see how he can fight with these many. they drag our other friends from inside of Kim's house with gunpoint over there head. I was stunned by there behaviour but I keep myself calm and when seeing them with guns I was sure it wasn't going to be easy for us. I thought of a middle road, so I tried the method of negotiation. so I asked them for reason for here for come.

"that guy has taken a loan from our boss. and now he isn't paying back."

I wasn't sure why he pick money from them. but I have to save all here first. I know they will not kill us but they can cause serious damage for sure. if it's only the money I can pay.

"Fine, I'll pay for him, how much?"

"are you sure you can pay?"

"yes, what amount? tell me."

"13000$"

that much amount, seriously? how could someone give that much to someone? it's was more than enough for avg salary person yearly income. what kind of job he has to do with this much money?

"ok, fine I'll pay that, but on one condition you and your boss will never see him again."

"I don't know about that let me talk to the boss first."

He grabs his phone out of his pocket and makes a call to his boss. after a while he replied.

"Fine, it was not from us, we do not want to deal with this guy again. but I'm not sure about him. if this brat needs money again we can't guarantee that."

"I'll assure that he won't seek you."

"tell me your bank account ill transfer the money till tomorrow, eve."

he passes his account details to me.

"I assure the money get transfer in our account till evening tomorrow if not I will be back."

"And you, pray, don't have to make any circumstance to meet us again."

he pointed his fingers to Max and leave.

(Huff)

"what was that Max? why do you have to get money from loan sharks? what we the reason behind it?"

I can assume his silent face tells guilt inside but also kinda a feels like some shot of helplessness. I know he will not speak in the presence of others. so I wouldn't dare to ask him at that time. but surely ill ask him what the matter when I visit him tomorrow. I ask for everyone's leave the gate and move inside of Han's house.

the mess was clear now. I asked everybody if they see Eric somehow? but they were so busy to focus on Max they also totally forget.

"Oh! God, where is he?"
