“Again?” ask the film crew when Shadow arrives on set.
“What?” Shadow asked back with a frown, not just one crew but several watching him.
“Your clothes, Miss Shadow. Since filming in the UK you have only worn all-black clothes, has this place been turned into a funeral home?” chirp Harold while giggling and holding a black Shadow shirt. The other three crew members laughed with Harold's voice.
Shadow put his handbag on the chair with the Director on his back explaining that only he had the right to sit in that place.
“Since 12 days ago, black became my favorite color. So, make yourself comfortable with my new appearance.” Followed with a flat gaze towards the crew.
Harold, Elias, Carter and Amelia suddenly clumsy as Shadow responds to the joke with an unusual attitude.
“Sorry, guys. Don't be offended by what I said. Right now I'm crazy about black, mysterious looks don't mean grieving. My heart is very carefree, let alone filming Revolution went smoothly.” Shadow's refutation melted the awkward atmosphere with his crew.
“Moreover filming accompanied by his fiancee and friend.” Amelia looked at the small crowd not far away
sets.
Shadow could only smile and nod his head.
“Ya.” In short, cheerfully while approaching the cast of the film. London greeted Shadow with a faint smile. In the far back there was Kai snorting violently to see the actor approaching his lover.
“The attacks came from two sides, the other was the man who never called to get close to Shaw. Is it true that the two Japanese men never appeared in this city?” asked Kai coldly looking towards Yoruban and Heron.
“There's absolutely nothing, Boss. Our members have left all the hotels and inns in the city center especially near the filming location. Well unless both of them are hiding in the suburbs, it's beyond our control, Boss.” Futures
The compact Yoruban wore bright clothes today with his four companions. Even Kai chose a white top combined with denim, they deliberately did it for Shadow.
Actually Kai and his five bodyguards are betting on the length of time Shadow feels at home wearing all-black clothes. Each had a guess and prepared a gift of a small amount of money, just jokingly filling the daily life in the city.
Kai and his five bodyguards agreed to return to wearing his uniform when Shadow surrendered in all-black clothing. Even though they look more alive with a colorful look, the film crew does not hesitate to greet Kai and his people.
“Boss, after this we will return to Berlin or to Hollywood?” akio asked while sipping canned soda.
Kai snorted while grinning “Say you're chasing Marielle, the artist.” Insinuations.
William and Conley chuckled as they stared at their friend. The small horde exchanged laughs, and mocked Akio. The narrow-eyed man glanced at Shadow, the woman next to him,
Marielle Ingram's.
“I feel we have a match.” Murmured Akio still looked at the beautiful woman who was conversing with Shadow and London.
“There is no harm in dreaming, mate.” Kai patted Akio on the back.
“But mistress boss is prettier than Marielle.” William looked at Shadow.
“Awomen's only member Black Panther.” Heron added.
Kai nodded with a happy smile engraved on his lips “Who would have thought if we would have a female member, although before this many wanted to join Black Panther.”
“Boss big who make the rules no female members, but he also who received the presence of Miss Shaw with roomy chest.”
Kai's gaze can not be separated to his lover “Mama wants to bind Shadow for life, although before that papa does not agree with this idea.” Answer slowly. Kai slowly unravels Shadow's recruitment process
become a member of Black Panther.
Now that the other five men seemed enthusiastic, Akio had forgotten the woman he was looking for. Kai gestured for his friends to sit on the concrete fence. No sun showed up that day, sad but that was exactly what Shadow needed for his film.
Kai took a deep breath before starting his story “Mama proposed this to me, until now mama did not know if Shadow was being targeted by a group. Mama reflected on her life experience, how she was with papa before we were born. It is said that when papa and
mama is in her 20s, they were separated, but there is a Black Panther tie and unite them. Parent syndrome that makes mama a little scared if one day Shadow releases me.” He said warmly.
“Mrs boss won't do that.” bela Conley who feels closer to her boss fiance.
“Yes, Miss Shaw loves you very much,” added William commenting on providing support.
Kai harrumphed amusedly “You are mafia not watchers of love.” He said then chuckled lightly.
The other five men looked at each other and threw a bland smile.
“Mafia also need love, Boss.” Timpal Akio who at that time did not agree with Kai's words.
“Terus?” asked Kai while spreading his sea bead.
Akio shrugged then snorted shortly “As it happened to me, before this I did not believe in a romantic relationship like the boss and Miss Shaw lived. But seeing for yourself the boss change from Kai
The old Navarro and now, makes me very interested in starting a serious relationship with a woman.” Seriously so.
“And Marielle the guy?” chirp Yoruban with a soft tone. Akio could only grieve for a moment before replying to his friend.
“Nothing is impossible as long as the Earth is still spinning, right? Even a mafia can dream high about love.” Added Akio.
“I instead imagine how my friend Akio with Miss Marielle was so clear that she was a famous artist. He can't possibly know Black Panther, right? Everything is clearly stated in the agreement letter that we have signed, that later when married or have a partner, they should not know this organization.” said Conley reminded his friend while squinting.
“Hold this conversation, specifically the five of you I will give you a position at Alpheratz Hotel and Resort.” Sergey Kai quickly.
The five men spontaneously clapped their hands in a frenzy, worthy of celebrating the pseudo office that had just been thrown from the lips of the leader.
“You're the best, Boss!” exclaimed Heron looked at Kai with gratitude.
“Of course I am the best, the proof is that I can lead Black Panther and have a very beautiful fiancee. Oh well, back to the previous discussion.” Said Kai wisely. The happy laughter of his bodyguard suddenly stopped and returned to focus on the white-cloaked man.
“On papa who disagrees. Papa doesn't want anything bad to happen to Shaw if he's involved in our organization. Shaw is not a great mama in all areas of martial arts, although Shaw's mind is very different from most women. Shaw is tough in mindset, but he wasn't educated since childhood to become a mobster. Having no interest like myself since childhood had aspired as great as papa and mama as well as some members of the Black Panther master. But papa's disapproval faded because my mom and I managed to convince him that I could teach Shaw slowly about martial arts. Shaw's a smart girl and she's very quick to learn. And look at him now, Shaw is very proud to wear all-black. It's kind of a sign that he loves Black Panther, and feels part of our organization. Just like when mama leads Black Panther, there is a papa who is able to dampen emotions, mama's movements. Shaw was prepared for it by mama, though papa's composure could not be matched. But Shaw has a head that always thinks logically with a variety of points of view. Later I need it.”
“For Black Panther.” William and Yoruban chimed in simultaneously.
“Yes, for Black Panther.” Kai assented while nodding his head.
…
Saturday afternoon Shadow is enjoying his day off after a two-week-long series of non-stop filming at the Yorkshire Hawes. That day Kai took her for a walk downtown, don't ask for a shopping center like Hollywood. In Hawes the street area is almost as wide as the pavement. Cars do not pass much, and locals prefer to walk from home to restaurants or cafes in the city.
A tall but very mismatched couple walk down the pedestrian followed by Heron, Conley and Yoruban. William did not come, I don't know what he managed while Akio was running a job
side of him as Marielle's bodyguard. Of course, it was done by Akio for free and he also offered his services to the beautiful artist.
“I'm worried about Akio.” Gumam Kai turned to his lover.
Shadow rounded his brown bead “Please, Mr. Mafia. It should be feared that Miss Marielle, she was together with a very deadly mafia.” Reply with a light laugh.
“Don't forget, Shaw. You're also a mafia.” Kai reminded his lover while grinning.
Shadow snatch but still beautiful “Mafia amateur, the lowest class that only has the ability to shoot immovable targets.” His grunts tightened the hand gamitan on Kai's arm.
Kai's blue bead widened, Shadow sank into the calm sea vortex.
“Say you want to learn what, Shaw? But later after your filming ends.” Kai said at a glance to stop when reading the name of the place they wanted to go to.
The Crown, Beer Garden. A building with old brick in brown paint, two-storied with white framed glass windows. Almost all cities have the same building characteristics, some have been in fine cement and in white paint, it makes the nuance more modern but the classic impression more attractive to the eye.
“Hmm.. What yes?” Shadow muttered but was reluctant to let go of his hand even when passing through the entrance threshold into The Crown. Apparently the front building only has a few tables and bars where to order food but the side of The Crown has no walls, no walls, left open to a garden that is not so spacious but with a sleek table and chairs in paint with bolder colors.
“You have many teachers, me and them. Just choose what interests you.” Sahut Kai follows The Crown's waiter who escorts them to the open space section on the side. Sayup-sayup is heard on the sound system playing a song from a band from England makes the atmosphere more relaxed and calm.
“I don't need to answer now, do I?” ask Shadow who is now glued to look at his lover's face. The busyness makes him not have much time for it, including spoiled longer with Kai. Thankfully Shadow has a very understanding lover, including Kai's patience along with his troops surviving in a small town very much different from Berlin and Hollywood. Even though Shadow had not heard Kai's complaint about the Hawes being the talk of the crew, the people he worked with were already desperately longing for the flickering urban lights. Honey, they're still gonna stay in town for the next three weeks.
“I'll always wait, Shaw. They are also.” Kai answered, pointing to Yoruban, Heron and Conley.
Kai, Shadow and three of his bodyguards chose a long table of yellow wood with a bench that was also long in sea blue paint.
“I want to eat pizza and yogurt kiwi.” Shadow said as he read the menu, at a glance he stared at the waiter who looked busy taking down the orders of the people on his desk.
“Double espresso and muffins.” Sahut Kai who then interrupted his focus on the flickering phone. Seeing the name on the screen makes Kai quickly receive the voice call.
“Yes, Will. What was? I'm just going to eat with another.” Kai spoke first.
Yoruban, Heron, Conley and Shadow are all interested in the mafia leader's conversation.
We found the Japanese man. Both of them we secured in an empty warehouse five kilometers from where we were staying, Boss. They don't want to talk, even though we have done all sorts of things. Looks like they just want to die, but I don't know maybe they want to meet the boss, just gonna talk.
Kai's face tensed up, his originally shady eyes turned into a pair of eagles that were about to hunt down prey. Kai's men slowly stood up without a sound, the handsome Heron took out two pieces of 50 Pound Sterling shards from his wallet and placed them on the sunflower-colored table.
“Ya, wait for us there.” Kai said, turning off the phone call.
