Black Shadow: Gangster X Family
Early Meetings (3)

Chloe Pov's

I felt my head throbbing in pain, I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust the light coming into my eyes. As I moved my aching head from looking down for too long, I opened my eyes. Pay attention to my rather pitch-black surroundings, with the help of the dim light of the lamp. When I realized I was in an empty room. Only 2 long sofas and 6 seats are visible. 

"What kind of room is this?" I muttered confusedly, I turned to look at my two hands tied behind the chair, Not only my hands but my legs and my body were also tied.

I panicked, As soon as I tried to untie the bond that bound my hand. Lothawat! Is it okay for me to be kidnapped, is this all just a trick?! No, I won't let the kidnapper win!

SREK'S!

As hard as I could, I tried to untie her, although my wrist started to hurt. Ughhhh! Are there no knives or other sharp objects here? I want to get out of this room!

I could've screamed for help 'cause the kidnapper didn't shut my mouth, but I didn't want to make a noise that would just get the kidnapper here.

"Ugh, why is it so hard to let go?!" My complaint is that the bond in my hand is never broken.

"Have you finished messing around, miss?"

DEG!

My shoulder stiffened immediately when the foreign voice sounded, The voice seemed very close. My heart was beating uncontrollably, I could even hear the sound of my own heartbeat so tight. I turned my head in a broken motion, Cold sweat running down my forehead. When I saw her, she smiled meaningfully at me.

The figure of the purple magenta man standing beside me, One of his hands held the refutation of the chair I was sitting on. He seemed to smile kindly, But in my eyes that smile looked creepy.

"Who are you?! Why did you kidnap me?" Ask me to try to keep my vocal cords from sounding vibrating.

He still maintained his friendly smile, Then raised one eyebrow as if astonished by my question just now.

"I'm sorry, didn't I hear wrong? It was precisely I who should have asked so miss," He said now slightly away from me, The man walked leisurely towards a chair then pulled the chair and sat opposite me. He put a dagger on the table right next to him.

NAH!

Hearing the sound of the dagger alone had made my hair bristled, I looked up at his dark green netra, He still smiled kindly, Is he not tired of continuing to smile like that?

"Listen, I didn't kidnap you but you came here yourself. Your guts look suspicious, so I thought you were an intruder. And you know for yourself what happened after," The man before me shakes his shoulder indifferently even though the smile is still on his lips.

My forehead twitched in annoyance at hearing that, So for that reason my head was hit and made me faint on the spot. Oi! Which part looks suspicious of me?!

"I'm not an intruder you know! I came here because I was looking for someone according to the address he gave me," Obviously I stared intently at him.

"Ah, I see that. But I'm sorry, you came at the wrong time. The owner of this place and some of its members are away, so I'm the only one guarding this place,"

"Huh! Yeah then I'll come another time. Now please let go of me," I snorted but the man in front of me just smiled.

He stood up from his seat, His hand reaching for the dagger he had placed earlier on the table. Twisting the dagger like a toy.

"It feels less exciting if I just let you go, How about us.." He approached making fear again envelop me. "We're playing chases,"

Chloe Pov End's

Chloe's red net was rounded in shock after the man in front of her brought the face closer so that only a few centimeters of distance remained between their faces. Chloe was silent between horror and fear because she saw clearly the blind man in front of her looked increasingly dark.

"You want to, right? If you do, I'll let you go and you can leave this place if you succeed. But if you fail, you'll take the consequences," 

Now what Chloe saw, the man didn't smile anymore but he was scary. Inevitably Chloe was forced to accept the game if she wanted to get out of there. The girl nodded softly making the magenta girder smile happily. She cuts the rope that ties Chloe's hands, body, and legs with her dagger.

After releasing Chloe rubbed her hand for a moment, Before long the man in front of her opened the door of the room. "Oh yeah, my name is Neil Garcia, make sure you remember my name before you leave here" he said with a meaningful smile. Chloe looked in annoyance.

A WUUSSHH!

A TAP!  A TAP!  A TAP!

Without waiting for a long time Chloe darted away out of the room, she ran pretty fast looking for the exit leaving Neil still standing in place.

"Ah, What a hurry. Though not counting to three you know," Neil smiled fakely, staring at the departure of Chloe who was lost somewhere. "Two..."

"Three! Ready or not I come~"

Neil twirled his daggers, he stepped casually out of the room. That friendly yet sinister smile was imprinted on his lips. "Little cat won't be able to get out of here,"

BLAM!

***********************

[On Chloe's side]

Taps!  Taps!  Taps!

Cold sweat kept flowing from Chloe's forehead, The girl's breathing seemed irregular. His red net continued to glance right-left to look for the exit. He went down the stairs quickly to the ground floor. His heart has been pounding ever since.

"I gotta get out, get out of here, quick" he thought in a panic.

Taps!  Taps!  Taps!

"Little cat, where are you? It's no fun if you're hiding,"

The deg!

Neil's voice that was getting closer made Chloe more panicked, himself did not focus on stepping until accidentally tripped his own legs.

Duk!

Bruk!

"Aawws!"

Chloe grimaced trying to get up, Knee bleeding a little because it hit the cold floor. His hand felt the floor to support his body but his hand was like touching someone's foot. Chloe looked up to see the figure in front of her more clearly.

The figure of the black-bladed man mixed brown at the end of his hair with light purple netra seemed to stand firmly before him, The man slightly lowered his head then grabbed Chloe's arm to help her stand up. Chloe stood up slowly, The girl heaved a sigh of relief because there was still someone else in the place.

"Thank you, but I gotta-"

"Any, Raizel. Thank you for helping me catch this little cat. Fyuuh~, he's quite nimble too," Neil came over to Raizel and Chloe. He smiled kindly.

Raizel glanced at Chloe for a moment who seemed to take a few steps back while staring warily, Although the girl's arms were tightly clutched by Raizel so as not to run away.

"Who is he? Your acquaintance?"

"No, I don't know either. He's an intruder who came to our place. Today we were really lucky huh," Neil pointed his dagger right in front of Chloe's face still smiling kindly. "You failed little cat, now you have to accept the consequences,"

Chloe stared in shock and horror because the tip of the dagger was pointing right at her face. "Ah, Don't you think this house is the headquarters of psychopaths?! Gyyaaa, whoever help me,"
