Rose Smith

"Tell me, did you really exert too much energy on the girl?" Samuel looked askance at the man opposite him. Jude glared sternly at him.

"What nonsense are you talking about. I told you I smacked her to make her unconscious," Jude took a sip of his wine and plopped down on the ottoman across the bed.

"She told me it was G20. Have you heard anything about it?" This time, Samuel really surprised at the information given by Jude. He darted his eyes to Rose, who slept on the bed and quickly move to her side and took her hand to examine the pulse. His forehead was scrunched into ugly lines before he put back Rose's hand to her side.

He stood and walked towards Jude and was momentarily paused as to find words to explain.

"She told you it was G20?" Jude nodded his head slowly. He tapped his fingers lightly on his thigh and was deep in his thinking.

" Like seriously?" another nod from Jude.

"How could a girl, a beauty at that, know so much about G20? I'm curious,"

"You can ask her once she regained her conscious," Jude glanced at Samuel and indicated him to take a seat. Samuel, who was full of gossipy heart complied him and dragged a chair to his side.

"Now, what you have to do is, tell me about this G20," there was a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Samuel took a deep breath and seemed to contemplate on how to tell Jude in the simplest way.

"G20 has first introduced in the black market a year ago. The inventor was totally off the radar, no one knows who he is or his whereabouts. It was said this G20 was original to help those who have difficulty in their sexual lives. The inventor wanted to pattern this drug but was rejected by the FDA. So, he resorted to the black market. Somehow someone gained the upper hand and bought over his creation. This particular person whom we never know wanted to gain benefits from this drug and turned it into a deathly drug, G20. It was said that G20 was originally from horny goat weed which has clinically proven help in sexual lives, but when this drug was modified, they induced red ginseng and synthetic drug used in Ecstacy that caused massive sexual desires. And, if it is not treated the way it should be, that person would surely die." Samuel had a gloomy look on his face by the time he finished his explanation.

The room fell silent as the three men contemplated the issue at hand.

Jude turned to Tony and signalled him to come closer before whispered to his ears. Tony nodded his head and left them shortly.

"What do you think we need to do now?"

Samuel sighed. He didn't have the ability to cure G20, that's for sure.

"For the time being, we don't have the cure for this kind of drug and as I mentioned earlier, to have the intercourse is the only way we have and the best one, I might add," he replied.

Jude was quiet. Damn! What on earth did the girl had done to deserve this kind of fate? Judging from the way she behave earlier, she was indeed innocent. There's no doubt. Even the sloppy way she kissed him back in the bathroom had truly shown him that she was a novice.

A novice... Interesting... Now that made him more intrigued regarding her personality. Why would someone drug an innocent girl? But to say she was innocent didn't sound right because she knew what she was going through. Innocent yet not innocent. Was there a phrase like that? Jude frowned upon his own thinking.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Samuel was waiting for his response. Jude cast his glance at Samuel.

"Is there really no other option? Or you want to do it yourself?" When Samuel heard his friend's remarked, he was totally flabbergasted. How could he take advantage of an innocent young lady? For God's sake, no way!

"You're crazy!" he then bit his lips before he came up with a solution.

"Maybe we can put her on drips, to help her with the burning within." He emphasized the word 'burning' that made Jude's mouth to twitch.

"And I might need to inject her with some aspirin to reduce the possible damage as well as sleeping drug so that she will be able to sleep through this ordeal."

"Go ahead, do your job," with that Jude left the room and went to his study room.

A few minutes later, Tony entered and passed him a stack of the document and a thumb-drive.

Jude swiftly switched on his laptop and watched the video that Tony had obtained.

Through the video, he saw the girl was running out from a hotel and she kept looking back as she was desperate to escape from the scene. There was blood dripping from her head but she ignored it. Jude felt his heart clenched tightly at the sight. He closed his laptop and sighed.

What a pity beauty... What exactly happened to her? He then took the stack of paper that Tony passed to him earlier and began to read through it.

Rose Smith. 23 years old. Engaged to her childhood friend, Mr Devon Luke.

Jude frowned upon reading the details. Devon Luke? Wasn't he the scumbag he punched a year ago? Goodness! The world indeed a small place.

"Have you checked Mr Devon Luke's whereabouts tonight?" He asked. His voice sounded menacing that sent a goosebump to Tony.

"Yes, he was at the Riveria Hotel the moment you found Miss Rose by the roadside. It was said they were having dinner together tonight with few more friends of theirs." Tony answered truthfully.

"Interesting..." Jude lightly tapped his fingers on the table and fell into deep thinking. If it was what he thought of, then, Miss Rose probably was trying to escape from Devon Luke, that scumbag.

Considering they were engaged with each other, why was she trying to play hard? Could it be that it was indeed true that there was some unspeakable story lies behind those mesmerising brown eyes that he saw earlier?

And those sloppy kisses she gave him... It could mean one thing, she never had any body contact with her own fiance, and why was that? And she was 23 years old, mature enough to experience kissing and hugging and whatever body contact one could experience for her age, yet she was still a novice. And not to mention that Devon Luke was not a bad looking man, at least, he was still considered as handsome though not handsome as he did, but, should this Rose acted that way? Hmmm... Indeed interesting...
