Darlene's Point of View
"I just want to be your bestfriend again. Please let me be it, just like before." Frederick said and I smiled.
"I'd like too." I happily replied.
"Really?" He asked to assure my answer.
"Honestly, I missed you too. The way you protect me, care for me as a bestfriend. You treated me very well that's why it became hard for me when you had a relationship with Joylene." I said. "Don't get me wrong, I already moved on and will only treat you as a friend. No more than that again." I explained.
"I'm glad to hear that. Wherever your sister is now, she will surely become happy to see that we already make up with each other, that we are already friends again." Frederick happily said but immediately changed his mood. "I will always love her. If she can only come back, I will show her how much I love her and make her happy everyday." He said.
"Your love for her was so deep." I said. Well, Joylene told me last time that she realized that she doesn't love Frederick much. She told that she regrets choosing Frederick over me but I don't know if she mean it or she's just angry that time because she thought Frederick cheat him.
"Yeah, I love her so much. I didn't cheat her and will never cheat her if she's just here now." Frederick replied. "She just saw me on the bar when William brought me there and my ex kissed me. I'm drank that time but I still resist my ex later on. It's just, Joylene already thought that I'm cheating her and I'm playing with a lot of girls." He explained.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's move on and become happy just like before, when we are still bestfriends." I said.
"So, will you be my bestfriend again?" Frederick asked me.
"Yes, yes, yes. Hahahaha!" I happily replied.
"You don't know how happy I am now." He said.
"Let's celebrate it." I replied. "Just wait here, I'll get some wine." I said and stood up.
"Alright." He replied and I go to the kitchen.
A few moments later, we are already drinking and talking about happy things.
"By the way, why don't join my organization? Didn't you said that all the Mafias and Gangs under your mother was already killed by Leon?" I asked.
Frederick suddenly look so sad. "You're right. I investigated my Mom's death too and I confirmed that he is the mastermind of everything." Frederick sadly said and drank the glass full of red wine.
"I'm sorry for your lost. Don't worry, I'm just here. If you need someone to listen you, if need some help and companions in crime, just call me and I'll be there." I replied.
"Crime? Hahahaha." We laughed. "I remember when we make pranks in college. Sometimes we put a bubble gums on the chairs in our classroom and benches around the campus." He said while chuckling.
"Hahahaha!" I laughed too. "We are doing vandalism on the walls too. Sometimes we write something about our bad professors." I said.
"Yeah, I remember that." Frederick said. "By the way, I guess it would be nice go join your organization. But, what will be my role there?" He asked.
"You are well known when you used the mask. You can use it and encourage the gangsters to become good and aggrieved no one. To make their groups just for self defense and not to cause troubles. You can be a role model to the Mafias too. You can help them to become good and stop doing crimes." I explained. "You can come with us too if we do some missions. But, you have to train self defense and using weapons." I said.
"That would be great but I think it's hard to change the Mafias." Frederick replied.
"Everything takes time." I replied.
"Alright, I will join your organization right after we caught Leon and punished him on what he did to my mother." Frederick said.
"That's good news. You as my comrade, it will surely make my organization strong." I said.
"How many are you in the said organization? Why don't you make a name for that organization?" Frederick asked.
"We are only 3 but each of us have a lot of assets and connections." I replied. "We haven't talk anything about the name of our organization for now. I already think of it but I guess it's not important. We want to keep our organization in secret and unknown. If we have a name, it only means that we can be well-known or easily known by others." I explained.
"Names are made to represent one's identity and you don't want anyone to know your identities or identity as a team. You have your reasons and that's your choice ." Frederick said.
"You're right. It's better that no one knows that this kind of organization exist except my trusted friends like you and Fire Queen." I replied.
"By the way, how did you know Fire Queen?" Frederick curiously asked.
"Her men was fighting against a group of guys that night. I just passed by and got interested to watch them. Due to some reasons, we fought against each other until she agreed to become my friend." I explained to Frederick.
"You fight but you become friends?" He asked. "That's amazing." Frederick said.
"She said that I'm the first one who ever made her irritated in a fight. I'm the first one who beat her too that's why she agreed to try making friends with me." I replied.
"You maybe very strong in fighting just like Joylene." Frederick said.
"It's been a long time since no one ever compare me with her. Please don't ever compare me to her again and avoid talking about her." I replied. "I'm only missing her more and feel sad if I heard her name." I said.
"I'm sorry." Frederick replied.
"It's alright." I give him a fake smile.
Anna came and told us that the dinner is ready. I offered Frederick to eat before he leaves and he agreed too.
A few days passed, Jack called me while I'm in the Hotel.
"Hello!" I said right after answering the call.
"Hello Claire, how's your day?" Jack asked. It's very rare for him to asked about one's situation.
"It's alright, just a little busy here in the hotel." I said. "How about you? How are you and Danny there?" I asked.
"We are fine." Jack replied. "By the way, we have a new lead to Leon's location." He said.
"Where is it?" I curiously asked.
