Chapter 3 - Black circle

The man took a step closer to Kevin and that was when Kevin saw this face clearly. He was slightly astonished. He had thought thier boss would have been the ugliest but the man in front of him was seriously handsome. His facial features didn't seem like the leader of a gang. His face was rather innocent and pure. But then, Kevin recalled the strange man's words and asked

" what do you mean by that Mister? "

The man knelt on a knee so he could be of the same level as Kevin and said carefully as if soothing him.

" Kevin your sister, she was a core member of this group but she vanished one day without a trace. As if that wasn't enough, she stole a huge sum of our money before she went. We've been searching for her but we can't find her and she had long used you as a collateral in case an unforseen incident occurred. "

Kevin's mind suddenly went blank as he tried processingtheinformationhe just received. Linda was a member of the group. She stole their money just like she stolen his and above all... he was been used as a collateral in case any unforseen incident occurred. The last sentence hit him like an explosive dropped on his head. He shook his head finting it difficult to believe. His relationship with his sister wasn't good enough, he knew it but he also knew that they both loved and cared for each other very much. Linda won't just betray him like that, she is not that heartless

" No, no you are lying to me. I know my sister very well, she joined the group I have no objections. She stole a huge amount of money from you guys. I have no objections either.... but Linda using me as a collateral is not true. She would never do that. "

Kevin yelled in despair. The man talk again, this time there was anger presence in his voice

" why do you think we go to such great length to kidnap you. We are already feeling bored today so we've decided to kidnap you right "

Kevin shook his head stubbornly and said

" No I still don't believe you. You all are liars. And there is no way I am going to join this group"

Then Ron who was standing in the dark became so angry that he snorted

" Hey kid be careful. Do you think your sister is some holy queen. You better thank God that boss is not killing you "

He never liked Linda in the first place. That kid was arrogant and bossy. Maybe she had a deal with the boss because the boss always turned on blind eye to all she did. Even when she makes mistakes, she is easily forgiven. Now she was gone, Ron felt really happy and wanted to make Kevin pay for his sister's crime but who knew Kevin would be much worse than Linda. That was his first day and he was even kidnapped but the way he is behaving meant he would really cause trouble in the future. Ron now wanted him to die but he felt that wouldn't happen considering his master's behaviour. The boss was already behaving strange. He never came out to meet such newbie's. Getting to see him takes a lot of time but he easily showed his face to Kevin which was more unusual. Besides he talked to him with care as if trying his best to explain things to Kevin which was also unlike him. Kevin's voice snapped him out of his thought

" Well even if it is true, there's no way I am going to join you guys. What do you take me for "

Then the boss gave Kevin a cunning smile and said with a heavy voice

" You dare "

Even though he was still tied to a chair, he fearlessly said

" You can't force me to do something I don't like. "

The the man's lips curved up again. Without battling an eye, he ordered

" Bring her in "

Ron nodded excitedly and went out. Kevin didn't know what was going on but he felt an omninous hunch. He held his breath waiting for what awaited him. To his uttermost surprise, the door opened and Ron walked in pushing a wheelchair. On the wheelchair was his grandma. Kevin almost screamed in horror

" Grandma, leave my grandma alone "

But then he realized his grandma was unconscious. He became scared and yelled

" You monsters what have you done to my grandma. Why's she not talking "

Kevin was now shivering. He was now afraid of these people and what they could do. Then the man said in amusement after seeing Kevin's reaction

" oh so you now know how to be scared. Don't worry, he is just taking a nap. But..."

His tone changed from the friendly voice he had to a terrifying one as he continued

" If you want her to remain like this forever, then you can choose to be stubborn. In fact Kevin you are right we can't force you, we can only give you two choices. You can choose the easy way or watch your grandma die."

Kevin was really furious. This people were using his weakness against him. But he couldn't bear to see his grandma in pain. Before he could answer, the man pulled out fire arm from his pocket, pointed it at the oldwoman and said impatiently

" We don't have all the time in the world, accept it or see her die "

Kevin panickly answered

" Yes, yes I agree but dont you dare touch my grandma "

The man placed the fire arm back and said in satisfaction

" Good, very good. Ron, send the old lady back. "

Ron nodded and went with the old lady. Kevin nevertheless threatened

" You better keep your word and not harm my grandma "

The man chuckled again and said

" You are really interesting kid. You manage to surprise me. Well of course I will keep my word."

Then he turned to one of his men and glared at him, the surbodinate quickly went and untied Kevin. Kevin stood up from the chair. His hands and legs were bruised and there were red marks on his hands. Then he heard the man voice again

" Welcome to the 'black circle' Kevin "
