A BRIEF MEETING
A car approaches a big lawn where a boisterous delinquent group is celebrating a birthday party. The volume of the music is set ear-splitting. Heartless valiantly steps out of the car and sets his feet into the lawn. Catching the sight of his presence, the cheering group lose their voices and fade faint and yellow and even the music has been stopped. Complete silence prevails over the entire lawn, letting the sighing breaths of the culprits audible. He takes his eyes off them after a brief glance and enters the main building. Opening a massive metallic door, he heads his way down the dark silent stairs. This passage seems like an underground dungeon emerging into an unilluminated and hushed room.
Heartless senses the sound of the music, resumed, which bears a pretty dangerous smile over his face, realizing his own wrath in their hearts. The stars can be seen through a small window indicating that this window is the only passage for air and outlet to the outer atmosphere.
A wooden table with three chairs is allocated in the center of the room. Many broken tables and other wooden furniture are flung in the right corner of the room giving it a look of an old warehouse store. Large packed cartons are also settled over one another. He drags and calmly sits on one of the chairs. A stout lady who seems to be in her forties, is already sitting on one of the chairs positioned in front of him.
She breaks the ice first, "I didn't expect it from you. Do you have any idea what the hell you have done? you brought us into a substantial obstacle by saving her."
Heartless chuckles firmly for a while then utters in his usual valiant way "I didn't save her. It is she who saved me."
Lady turns staggered and stutters promptly, "What? … Either Have you gone mad or just joking?"
"Ha-ha, Just kidding! She thinks that she saved me." He retorts.
Gathering alteration of tone into a solemn statement, the lady says, "well! Can you do something for me?"
"I am unwell nowadays." Heartless denies.
"Hah! why? Is everything okay?" With an ironic smile, she asks.
"Hey! I am having a fever." He hastens contemptuously.
"You didn't have a fever before."Suppressing her smile, the lady tries to keep asking in a solemn way.
He gives a valiant glance at her face while frowning angrily, leaving her unmotioned.
Lady turns to the main point "Well! I will hire another man. He will do my work soon. But… I feel she is kind."
He adds further, "She misses her mom."
Lady gives a savage reply, ignoring the significance of the message he is trying to convey "She is unlucky."
Heartless gives a brief breaking news with the belief that she would get worried "She was going to donate one of her kidneys to her father."
Lady is left astonished, "what? Did you stop her?"
He retorts calmly with an affiliative smile, "The doctors refused."
Taking a deep sigh, she shows her relief.
Giving a calm statement, Heartless says "You should find another man for yourself. Your husband might be killed."
She shouts in a high pitched voice, "Hey! Control yourself!" Her voice turns slow and firm. "It will cause many difficulties for me."
He tries to add further and explain the reality to open up her eyes, but fails, "No! No difficulties…"
Lady interrupts him, seems confused and troubled in the oceans of strains waving inside her "Stop! Don't say anymore!"
A few minutes of silence passes.
Taking notice of the noisy sounds he perceives from the lawn , Heartless asks, "What's going on outside?"
Lady responds with an exasperated sigh, "A birthday party! Once again!"
Seems to be irritated, he replies with a question, "How many times is he born in one year?"
"What do you think? Is her father killed?" Heading up from the drowned ocean of thoughts, she asks.
"No! He is alive!" Responds in a calm, firm accent.
A clicking sound heard by both of them suddenly muddles the flow of their tranquil conversation and leads them to fall in doubt of third person's presence in the room. Heartless instantaneously stands up with a gun in his right hand, turns back valiantly and shoots at the corner straight away without wasting even a single second. Within the span of just 2 seconds, a man descends down with a shrieking sigh and bullet hole in his chest, pointed unmistakably.
"I hate such people." His infuriated accent is full of rage and wildly dreadful.
"He heard all of our conversations." She states in a low voice.
They let a few silent minutes pass.
"How many murders have you done, by the way?" She asks startled, after a while.
With a valourous smile, he responds "only 763! Well!... Why do you want to kill her father? I know you can do anything to get money but I also know that you loved her."
"Don't forget that it is J. Black who wants to kill her father, not me. Thank God J. Black does not know that he has a daughter, otherwise, he will kill her also." She counters in a bit rude accent.
Swirling his gun on the table with his finger, he rejoins self-composedly "You must kill her also because she is nothing without her father."
"Huh! No way!" She exclaims with an affrighted sigh.
Heartless brushes his hairs backward, from his face with his hands "Oh God! Feelings!! (Feels pissed off) Well! Why does J. Black want to kill him?"
The lady puts him in the picture by a brief explanation "Her father was an army captain. J. Black put forward fake blames on him that he is a traitor to his country. J. Black loved me and wanted to marry me. This is the only reason he fashioned all of that play. Finally, he got me but I came to know lately that J. Black has been a villain in his life. But he really loved me and still loves me a lot. He committed treason. His villainous past is only known by me and now by you too. Except the both of us, her father is the only person who knows this. Hence, he wants to kill him. Also, acquiring millions of dollars is obviously a chief achievement for him. Don't you know the level of his gluttonous mindset?"
"You mean his daughter is saved." Heartless states while hypothesizing mentally.
Lady replies "J. Black has a lot of money but he still never stops to get it more. Robin is the only obstruction in his way as she is the inheritor of her father's property who is almost a trillionaire."
"Do you still love her?" Peering into her face, he abruptly asks.
"Huh… Obviously!" She retorts calmly.
"Oh! Obviously?" He exclaimed being unmoved.
Whispers herself frustratedly "Ah! To whom am I talking?"
"Of course to a Heartless! Well! I have to do a lot of work and hence I need to leave." He states a bit louder with a playful smile while heading up.
Departing from the dark room, he conducts the way leading up to the stairs and soon proceeds back into the neon-lighted lawn. As soon as their sights gather on him, their throats are choked once again and music is paused within a while. His pretty terrible smile does all that is left to turn their faces white aligned with drying their blood and he leaves them with their bodies unmoved.
