Chapter 6

When Malik finally show up at the shop again, he's given a warm welcome by his colleagues. A little 'Welcome Back' Is thrown, everyone laugh and enjoy themselves. Sooner, Ms Etty put a stop to it so that they will get into the day work.

Malik rushes into the bathroom to urinate when he hears the door bangs and someone ordering people to shut up or he will blow their heads.

"Who could he be?" Malik thinks, peeking and gasping when he sees someone pointing a gun at Ajoke while others cower on the ground. 

Malik notices how terrified Ajoke is, she's already drenched in sweat.

"Pack everything in your storage. Everything you have! Do it now or I'll blow your goddarm brain!" The robber orders Ajoke, who starts complying.

 From where Malik is hiding, he's seething, clenching his fists in anger. Without another thought, he speeds out of the bathroom, making a slight sound that draws the robber's attention who then point his gun towards the direction.

"Who is there? Come outside now!" He yells.

"Do you know you shout too much for a thief?" Malik whose face is covered and cloth is differ from earlier says from behind the robber.

The thief turns, asking in a shaky voice, "W-who are you? Stay back... or... I'll... I'll shoot you." Then he fires at Malik, who easily dodges the bullet, shocking the thief.

"DIE, YOU FREAK. DIE! DIE! DIE!" He begins shooting nonstop until he runs out of ammo. Malik reappears, dropping some of the bullets he caught.

"You done?" Malik asks with sarcasm. The thief gasps, steps back in fear, and asks,

"Who are you?"

"The name is SPEEDBOLT" Then he knocks the thief out with a single punch. "Phew. Perfector." Speed murmurs when he hears others cheering for him. He waves back at them while some take his pictures.

"You can call the cops now; the threat is neutralized." He tells them before disappearing from sight. Then, Malik comes out rushing out of the bathroom, pathing.

"Thank goodness, I thought I was going to die in the bathroom." He says as he stands next to Ajoke.

"You're in the bathroom?"

"Yes"

"Oriyo eh o." Ajoke says in her native language.

Sooner the police arrive and round up the thief.

Ms Etty enters into her office,lock the door before dialing someone's number. When the call is pick she says...

"One of the Meta-human just show up at my door step today." She says but there is silence from the other side of the call. Shortly, another voice answers.

"That's good Agent Etty. That's a good start." And the call is cut after that while Ms Etty place the phone back on the table and head out to join the others with cleaning. 

Mark is trying to catch up with angry Luck who pay no yield to his friend's calling.

"What's gotten into you today. Why are you being mad at me?" Mark asks as he walks behind Luck. Luck turns back, facing Mark.

"Really? What's gotten into me? Huh? I thought we were best friends, but I guess I was wrong all along."

"Wait, what? What are you talking about? Of course we are, you are my best bud. Come on, Luck."

"Then tell me who the new people are." Luck asks, confusing Mark.

"New people? I have no idea what you are talking about, Mate." Mark says innocently. "Wait, is he referring to Malik and Galban? Has he met them?" Mark thinks.

"Don't you dare play dumb with me, Mark. I came to your house days ago, your mum said you were with some people, NEW PEOPLE! I tried to reach you, calls went straight to voicemail. God knows when you came back and you decided not to call back. And you finally showed your face at school today and pretended all was well. Is that what friends do? Tell me!"

" I know, I know and I'm sorry. You don't have to bring to whole school down because of that. I didn't mean to snub you. I really didn't mean it, but I was really busy. That's all. " Mark says, knowing he doesn't sound very honest. Luck scoffs.

" Mark... "Luck whispers, " you are a terrible liar. "He simply say before walking away. Mark groans as he watches his friend leaving.

Galban pays for what food stuffs he bought at the mall and start to go home. When he is little far away from the mall, two men in black suit come out of nowhere and begin to follow him. Galban becomes aware of them and make a swift change in direction to an alleyway and hide out of the sight before the other men arrive.

"Where is he?" One of them murmur when Galban suddenly grap both men's head, knocking them together as they scream in pain, then also knock them out before removing one of their earpiece.

"I don't know who you're and what you want, but stop sending amateur stalkers around me. This is your last warning" Galban says then drop the earpiece on the ground and walk away with his stuff.
