For Lava's third day in acting class, she finds herself enjoying all the lesson with her private tutor, Ms. Martina , who is at her early forties. The little time of her rest after the class is filled by her acting class and then she can go with Fiero in different establishments every night. They will go back at the white mansion at early dawn and she will sleep a few hours then go to school again. For almost two weeks , that is her routine.
One day she wakes up and find a vitamin tablet beside her cabinet table , she thought that this came from Ronaldo who is always checking on her. When she go out of her room ,she is holding the vitamin container and plan to drink it in the kitchen but she meet Fiero in the corridor and as usual they are not talking to each other as long as it is not about business. Lava did notice that Fiero pause a moment and stare at the vitamins that she is holding bit she ignores him and pass through him .
" Is our boss getting snob? " Gian laugh out loud when he see that Fiero almost froze while waiting for Lava to say something about the vitamins. " He's not really good into words. " Ronaldo is wiping his invisible tears.
Fiero told Lava to wait inside the club ,one of his own because he needs to check on something. He brought his two bodyguards with him. He leave her in an empty table when a commotion between a two table is happening in front of her. At first the two group is shouting each other until one of them throw a bottle of liquor to the other group. To get revenge , one from the other group punch one guy from the other table. The two big bouncers who are incharge of that tables cannot stop each of them one by one. Lava see that each of them is the same age as her brother, maybe highschoolers. Then she see one of them bringing out a knife from his pocket.
Lava having adrenaline rush, get the pistol from her thigh , part of her secret weapon anyway that Fiero gives incase of emergency. Pointed up and " BANG! " . She only see this in movie , and her acting helps in expressing her body expression. She have now all the attention of people there. Even the DJ stop the music and put up his hands in surrender. Everybody stop even the kid who is holding a knife. Lava walk to the boy who is holding the knife but when the boy see that it is a lady who fires the gun, his fear disappear. Instead he plan to attack the lady who is now infront of her and tries to get his knife.
Fiero holds the tip of the knife with his index finger and middle finger. " Knife is not allowed inside my club. Who let these kids enter the club?!" Fiero yells. Then his bodyguards and the two bouncers kick the kids out from the place. " Start the music and continue the party! " Fiero shouts and everyone get back to normal again. Fiero get the gun from her hands gently and she is faze when he put the gun into the holster located in her thigh. She feel his hands accidentally touching her thigh and it makes her mind giggle but she ignores it.
" I wonder what is inside your head. You don't even know self defense? Where did you get the idea to confront the kid who is holding a knife? " Fiero is drinking a wine up his office while watching down. " Well, he might kill someone." Lava get a courage to answer him while her gaze is down like a child being scolded. " That is part of this business. Everyday, diffirent people are dying in a place like this. Even if it is not in my club , in the other clubs that I do not own." He said. " Then what is the purpose of coming to a place like this every night if I will not see the reality of it? All I can see every night is people enjoying. People dancing and laughing. What do you want me to see exactly? " Lava ask in confusion. Fiero take a deep breath. " You will learn little by little. But you must learn to protect yourself first. I will enroll you to self defense class . " Fiero decide. Lava blink. " What did I do?!?! Should I not do that?!?! My schedule is really full!!! " Lava thought.
