Isn't that.

Yeah you're right. That's Antonio, Sammy's cousin.

Why is he here?

I had my doubt but, I didn't expect to see him here.

So what should we do now.

Let's wait and see if anything suspicious happens.

--After 15 min--

Mark gets a feeling that something is not right inside the pub. He tells Adam to keep watch outside.

'You keep watch outside, I am having a bad feeling, I will go and check.

Ok be safe and don't blow your cover.

Yeah I am going in.

Mark crosses the road and goes inside the pub.

As he enters the pub.

The guards outside asks him to wait.

Hey there 'please wait there sir'. (Guard 1)

Mark who gets startled. As he turns toward the guard, as if he was going to take him down?

Can you please show us your ID? (Guard 2).

Ah ID yeah here, he shows them his ID.

Ok sir you can go in have a great time.

Mark enters the pub, he starts to hear the songs which was being played by the DJ. He then starts to search for Antonio.

―Songs playing―

He starts to look around as it was a pretty crowded place.

Then he hears a voice shouting, which was coming from the first floor of the pub.

"Just let me go now I have told you everything I knew about that bitch, So what do you want with me now" (Antonio who is beat up badly looses his cool and starts shouting).

THUD!

A sudden blow hit Antonio in the back.

He stumbled, struggling to stay on his feet. Then he slowly turned his head and looked.

How dare you speak like that to the boss.

Antonio dropped to one knee, clutching the table for support.

OX watched him carefully.

For a moment, nobody spoke.

Then OX looked at the man holding the rod.

"I didn't tell you to hit him."

The man lowered the weapon.

"He wasn't listening."

OX's eyes returned to Antonio.

Antonio slowly lifted his head.

Despite the pain, his eyes were filled with anger.

"I... told you..." he muttered.

OX stepped closer.

"Told me what?"

Antonio forced himself to look directly at him.

"I've told you... everything."

Ox who is still not completely sure ask the men to take him away.

As they where taking him outside.

Mark who was watching the scene sees a chance to take Antonio.

He goes around the ground floor, takes one of the hat of the waiter.

The men who were dragging Antonio throws him out in the back alley of the pub.

Mark who was acting like a waiter took the garbage bag and walked past Ox's men.

Ox's men who were coming back sees Mark who was acting suspicious and asks him.

'Hi wait there, where are you going'.

Mark lift his hand and speaks 'just throwing away some trash'.

Ah ok you can go ahead.

As they leave Mark throws his cap and runs to the back.

Antonio who is beat up badly. Is walking out the alley while limping on one leg.

Mark open the back door look around to see that there is no one.

He run's to the road to catch Antonio, he see left and then right and sees him crossing the road.

—Meanwhile–

Adams who was on the lookout also sees someone is coming out of the back.

She then stops the car just across where Antonio is coming.

Antonio who is crossing the road is suddenly greeted by a voice.

'Hello there you're Antonio right.'

He is shocked after hearing that from a stranger and mutters.

'No I am not you got the wrong person'.

I am sure you're the same person.

'I told you I am not the person you are looking for Mam'.

No no I think I got the right person.

Antonio gets frustrated and yell's 'I told you I am not the guy you're looking for, Grandma'.

Mark who is right across the road as the signal has not yet stopped see that Adams has caught him, he gets relieved.

As the signal open he goes towards them and hears.

SLAP!

"The sharp sting spread across his cheek as he glared at her."

Antonio who is in utter disbelief, 'why why did you slap me'.

Mark who is right behind Antonio comes and tell Adams to calm down.

'Hi hi calm down you can't cause a seen her', look everyone is looking at us.

Mark grabs Antonio and starts to act so that the public can look away.

'Hi there brother your sister was looking for you why were you not answering your phone'.

Antonio who is still not sure what is going on, 'What who are you who is your brother?'.

Mark whispers in his ears after hugging him, 'Hi we are with the HPD and we know who you are so start acting and be good?'

People are still staring.

Antonio after hearing that starts to act, 'Ah hi their brother sorry I was not able to pick up the call because it was switched off'.

Ok now that that's settled let's go home.

'Let's go or do you want to get beat up more'.

Antonio who is sweating after hearing that quietly gets into the car.

Adams still glaring at him, 'Hey can you stop now and get going'.

You can do whatever you want with him at the station so let's get away from here before they notice something is wrong.

Adams starts the car and they head to the station.
