The Mafia Order System
Red Thread Cut

The rain is getting heavier now. Seeing the clock has shown at 5 pm plus rain that can not be predicted when it will stop, Anthony thought to close the place.

But when Anthony just wanted to lock the door. From inside a black Suv Lamborghini parked on the side of the road, a beautiful woman came out and ran to her place.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your time, sir. Is this place going to close? There are some things I need to talk to you about." Ask the woman who is none other than Elizabeth.

The beautiful woman seemed to be in a hurry when she saw Anthony wanting to close the barbershop. Until the jacket he was now wearing was a little wet from the rain.

Elizabeth herself had actually been around Anthony's barbershop for a long time. He had been monitoring Nathan from a distance before and was curious about what the man was doing there.

When Nathan left a while ago. Elizabeth thinks now is a good time to investigate the man as she has grown suspicious of his recent moves.

Seeing a beautiful woman who looks pretty neat and exudes leadership charisma. Anthony thought Elizabeth was the one Nathan or Alexander meant.

"Are you the person referred to by, Mr Alexander? Come on in. I'll make you some warm chocolate." Anthony said as he opened the entrance.

Elizabeth nodded gently with a small smile as Anthony thought he was the one Nathan had sent to talk about financial matters.

When entering Elizabeth immediately hung her jacket in the corner of the room and sat on a bench that Anthony had prepared.

While waiting Anthony made hot chocolate in the back. Elizabeth looked at every corner of the barbershop that Nathan had made time to come there.

Elizabeth felt curious and suspicious when Nathan took the time to come to a barbershop. Given if the man is currently very busy doing some important work.

"Let's see what you're really hiding here..." Elizabeth got out of her seat and decided to investigate the place after making sure the situation was safe.

Elizabeth's wiggly fingers gently touched the table where the hair was, while the beautiful woman's eyes paid attention to every corner of the room.

The beautiful woman's gaze accidentally captured a photo of Anthony's family on the wall. Out of curiosity he immediately grabbed the photo.

Elizabeth cleaned first the frame of Anthony's family photo to remove the dust attached, in order to see the picture more clearly.

In the family photo, Elizabeth found Anthony, a black child who appeared to be the man's son, and a white child wearing glasses.

Seeing a white child wearing glasses, Elizabeth immediately questioned the identity of the child because it was impossible for him to be Anthony's son.

Elizabeth was looking at the photo. From behind Anthony appeared while bringing a glass of warm chocolate to the beautiful woman.

"What are you doing, Miss?" Anthony wonders when he sees Elizabeth holding a long-abandoned photo of her family.

The loss of two sons in the near future made Anthony a little depressed, making him not have time to clean the place properly as before.

"I'm sorry I just wanted to look around..." Elizabeth replies to Anthony's question awkwardly while returning the photo in her hand to the man.

"Are you curious about my family photo, miss? If so, I'll bring you a photo album." Anthony asked who thought Elizabeth was curious.

Without a doubt Elizabeth immediately nodded to him very quickly, making Anthony laugh softly at the enthusiasm of the beautiful woman who was very passionate.

Anthony then asked Elizabeth to sit down and drink warm chocolate, while she would take the family album in the back.

A few moments later Anthony returned with an album that already looked dull and dusty as if it was deliberately ignored until abandoned.

The album Anthony gave to Elizabeth to watch. The beautiful woman happily accepted and opened the first sheet of the photo album.

"May I know who this boy is?" Elizabeth asked to get a direct answer from Anthony.

If only Elizabeth hadn't asked Anthony directly. His investigation will be very difficult considering that the man is the key to Nathan's true identity.

"Of course I'll tell you. This is my real son, Austin. While this one's my adopted son, Nathan." Reply Anthony while showing the details of his two sons so as not to make Elizabeth confused.

Anthony then explains the incident in each photo that Elizabeth sees while telling the moment when the picture was taken.

Elizabeth nodded slowly as Anthony explained each photo on the album. But something makes him very curious is the name of the man's adopted son who is the same as Nathan.

For now Elizabeth will not ask and let Anthony finish his story first so that each piece of red thread can be connected.

From the story Anthony told me. Elizabeth discovers that Nathan's son is homeless and that he is her son.

Elizabeth didn't pay much attention to detail when Anthony told her about Austin. Because he's just looking for information related to Nathan.

"If you could know where they're going now?" Elizabeth asked if the child named Nathan was the same as the man she knew.

Anthony's description of Nathan starting from his age makes the cut of red thread that Elizabeth stacking becomes increasingly conical strengthen his suspicions.

Anthony's facial complexion became gloomy and visibly sad as Elizabeth questioned the long-absent whereabouts of her two sons.

"This has been the worst year of my life. They're both dead..." Anthony replied in a trembling tone of voice, showing how much trouble he was facing.

Hearing the answer from Anthony instantly made Elizabeth frown. If it is true that the two sons of the man are dead, then his investigation of Nathan will immediately end because there is not enough strong evidence.

"I'm sorry for making you remember this. But can I find out why they died? I happen to have contacts in the police department if you want to investigate their deaths."

Elizabeth still won't give up. Now he has reached a crossroads and can only keep asking questions in order to find out Nathan's true identity.

Hearing Elizabeth's statement who has acquaintances in the police force. Anthony's gloomy eyes instantly brightened again because he actually felt the case that befell his two sons was very awkward.
