It's been too long since Arthur left his sister with Mikel in one room. He rushed back into the room after his phone connection was cut off. His eyes sharpened again as Mikel was seen gradually moving away from the bed. His eyebrows are clutched together with his eyes narrowed, guessing if something happened as long as he left the room.
Mikel deliberately cleared his throat, realizing that Arthur was looking at him in full search. Luckily when Arthur went back into the room, he had already let go of his embrace. Otherwise, he would definitely make Arthur even more annoyed at him.
"I think I should go." Mikel had just seen a circular watch on his wrist. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, he had left the office too long.
"Go away, no one expects your presence here!" Arthur sniped cynically, he stepped onto the sofa and threw his cell phone up there.
Mikel refrained from chiming in on Arthur's words. I don't know why Arthur's attitude is as annoying as Uncle Xavier's, he thought.
"Sister Ar...." Of course Elie protested her brother's attitude. Unlike usual, her brother was so childish. It's obvious that her brother isn't friendly with Mikel.
Arthur grabbed his ear and buried his body on the couch. It seemed that the two men were both freezing the atmosphere so that an aura of tension began to be felt.
"I'll go first. I'll come again if I have time to spare" Mikel said with a gentle look at Elie.
"Yes, thank you."
Mikel's lips formed an arch, he felt that Elie was getting closer to him. Even the woman was not as insular towards him as before. Is not this a good start, little by little he will make his woman can not be far from him.
Mikel still spread his smile, before then looking at Arthur who seemed reluctant to look up at him.
"I'll go first. Take good care of my woman." Mikel's words were, of course, like a Molotov cocktail in Arthur's ear. How could the man really have claimed the sister as the man's woman?
Mikel just left after inviting war. Let it be, his own fault why his future brother-in-law is so annoying, his inner self.
"Hey you....!" Just as Arthur was about to curse Mikel, the man's body had already disappeared from his sight. "Snake man!" objurgation. Arthur scratched his hair violently. "Elie, how can you deal with a guy like him?!" Arthur doesn't think there's such a shitty guy hanging around his sister.
"Don't Ar's sister know how I met her?" Actually, Elie tried to resist his weakness, because for the first time there was someone who managed to make Arthur so upset. Usually his brother who always makes anyone upset with an attitude that does not want to be denied, is no exception to him.
"Don't see him again! I'll break his leg if he dares to meet you!" arthur exclaimed full of decisiveness.
Elie lazily responded, he rolled his eyes panted. For some reason Arthur, who usually frees himself from contact with whoever the man is, this time so adamant against him. Though he has found a little comfort when with Mikel. I don't know if Elie felt that she had known the man for a long time.

Arthur drives the car at a moderate speed. He decided to leave the house after waiting for his parents to return. From earlier his breathing which was still hunting the emotion slowly subsided, he did not want to drive the car in an unstable emotional state. Moreover, if he would awaken the Killer within him would be very dangerous for the surroundings.
Arthur slightly reduced the speed of his car when the sound of the phone ringing broke his focus, he immediately pulled over his car and took the phone he put on his side seat.
"What's Der?" he asked when he had put earphones on his earlobes. Slowly he returned to the gas at medium speed.
"There's nothing here Ar. Looks like they already know our plan."
"Are you and Chris sure there's no wrong place, Der? What is the Club and the brothel run by the old man?" tanyanya.
"I found no awkwardness, no prostitution in this Club."
Arthur thought silently. "Then you and Crish get out of Manchester. They must have done something when you got out of there!"
"All right! Maybe they already know about me and Chris."
"Her...." Arthur replied with a thud. His gaze was instantly sidetracked for a moment out the window, followed by his forehead which formed a deep frown. "Later I'll call you again!" And immediately disconnect his phone unilaterally.
Arthur stared one by one at the simple buildings lined up. He even found out that there was a building on this road, which he thought was just an ordinary road to a certain place. But in fact many lower-class buildings that already look shabby.
Arthur's steps were stopped, because the figure he followed stopped in one of the two-story buildings painted ivory white. The bottom of the building is filled with Stationary Window or windows that can not be opened and closed because it is installed dead on the sills.
"Damn! Why am I such a stalker?" Arthur pulled his hair back. It was true that he felt like a stalker and instantly he was alluding to what he had just done. Aware of his foolish actions Arthur twisted the direction his body was about to pass. But the sound of a crowd calling the name of someone who of course is very familiar makes his steps undo.
"Aunt Helena....." Some small children half-run and scatter towards the woman who had just met her feet on the brick floor.
Yes, that woman is Helena. I don't know why Helena came to the place of the simple building that looks shabby, because it does not reflect the woman who looks glamorous and graceful. But something that caught his glasses is the closeness of the woman with some children there. Arthur only realized the place was an orphanage after reading a signboard that was standing on the edge of the yard.
"Hi y'all." Helena rests on her knees, aligning her body with children of different ages. "Just a few weeks did not meet, the body has grown more than before" he said later with a smile.
"Of course because we eat a lot. Aunty always sends us a lot of money so we can eat delicious food," one of them innocently cried to get a nod of approval marks by the other children.
"It's good if you eat a lot. Aunty will send you more money so you can eat delicious and nutritious food every day," said Helena was no less enthusiastic.
"No need Miss. During this one year we have been very much helped and the money that Miss sent is still a lot left." A middle-aged woman in a knee-length long-sleeved dress approached Helena and joined the conversation.
Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, Helena stood up. "It's okay, Meena. Besides I can't spend my money alone" he said chuckling. During this time he always set aside money from his boutique turnover which was in Paris for one year.
"Thank you, Miss really is our savior." Meena looked moved, her eyes had even condensed. He remembered how one year his orphanage lacked support, because suddenly one by one of his orphanage supporters no longer sent them money.
Helena smiled, her memory spinning one year ago. On his arrival from Paris to London, he is ignored by Mikel. He had no other purpose than the man's place. There was no way he could meet his father who already did not care about him. He was either alive or dead, no family cared about him. But his life changes a little when he first accidentally meets some of those who wander by the wayside. Luckily, Helena quickly caught one of the children who was almost hit by a car. Since then Helena has become familiar with the children, but she still feels lonely despite being in their midst.

Arthur went back to his car, he didn't get into the car. Instead of leaning his body on the car door. His mind was spinning erratically, it turned out that not everything that looked bad would always be bad. Evidently he found a very astonishing fact, where the arrogant woman who looks spoiled had the other side behind her annoying attitude and sexy appearance, so that made him fooled to judge. Arthur smiled wryly, quite unexpected, because so far he had always met women who were full of tricks.
Long Arthur was stunned, he then got into the car. Just wanting to start the engine of her car, her eyes caught Helena's figure who had just come out of the alley, but her eyes flashed as she saw two men suddenly pull the woman's bag.
Helena was of course surprised, she failed to keep her bag. "Bastardly robber!" But the woman was trying to chase the robber. If a woman will scream if her belongings are seized, Helena actually pursues with legs wrapped in high heels. "Give me my bag, goddamn it!"
The two thugs ran towards Arthur's car, so that same second Arthur opened his car door and then.....
BUGHGH
One of the thugs fell down because it hit the door of the car that opened suddenly.
