As planned the guys set out to Toronto leaving a group behind waiting for the next flight. Addy wanted to come along but her father had denied her request and made sure her bodyguards watched her carefully. She wasn’t allowed to come near the airport.
A few nights later, Addy was planning to escape her bodyguards but wanted to drop by Mel’s bar to see if Roach had heard from Mel yet. He sat at the bar drinking a beer when he noticed Addy “Siu Jei.” He said respectfully.
“Roach, have you heard from Mel Gor yet?” she asked with a concerned tone.
“No…” he said flatly and then smiled “He’s a big boy, I’m sure he can take care of himself.”
“Ha ha.” Addy narrowed her eyes. She turned to her bodyguards “I have to go to the bathroom, you guys wait here.” Her little escape plan didn’t work when she started walking away and noticed two shadows close behind her.
Roach watched with a grin on his face as his head began to shake. She was sure a handful, he felt sorry for the guy that would have to endure such an attitude. His eyes glanced over at the figure at the entrance and it did a double take. Were his eyes deceiving him? When she turned with a smile, he knew it was her “Kathy?” he asked when she rushed over to him.
“Hey Roach.” She smiled happily as if seeing an old friend “I know this is sudden…and maybe I should have called Mel first. But…well…is he around?” she stuttered embarrassingly.
“You just missed him. If you came over a few days ago, you would have caught him.” He answered sympathetically.
“Where did he go?” Kathy asked with concern.
Roach smiled “Business.”
Kathy nodded slowly “Of course…well, tell him I dropped by.” She said sadly and turned to leave.
Addy walked out of the bathroom and caught a girl talking to Roach. She looked too innocent to be hanging around bars at night. She looked at Kathy and she nodded politely with a short smile “Wait.” Addy put her hand up and two of her bodyguards walked in front of Kathy and blocked her.
Kathy turned to the unfamiliar girl “Yes?”
“Who are you looking for?” Addy asked with her arms crossed and her head tilted.
Roach knew if he didn’t intervene, Addy would only harm Kathy “She’s looking for me. Just an old girlfriend.” He laughed nervously “I told you I don’t want to get back with you.” He said harshly to Kathy who was wrinkling her eyes in confusion. He flicked his head towards the door but stopped the minute Addy turned to him with suspicious eyes. She wasn’t buying the lie.
“Ex girlfriend?” she asked Kathy.
Kathy eventually caught on as she nodded “Yeah…” she began to turn but was still blocked. She spun around towards Addy “What do you want?”
“I think you’re lying.” Addy smiled amusingly. “Now are you gonna be a good girl and tell more or do I have to use force?” she took a seat at the bar stool and crossed her legs.
Roach turned to Addy pleadingly “Siu Jei…please, let her go. She can’t be harmed. If Mel Gor finds out…” he faded away when he couldn’t catch his words in time.
“Mel Gor?” Addy raised her eyebrows with interest “Hm…what do you have to do with Mel Gor?” Kathy turned to Roach for help but Addy quickly snapped her fingers at Kathy “Hey, hey, don’t be looking at him for help. Answer my question and I won’t hurt your pretty little face.”
Kathy turned to the ground “What’s it to you bitch?!” Snow’s voice broke into her worried thoughts. She looked up and found Snow at the door as she rushed in as she pushed the body guards aside. Kathy smiled, happy to see another helping face “You lay a hand on her and Mel Gor will personally punish you.” Snow threatened.
Addy’s solemn face turned into a slow smile “Oh….so this is the girl.” She nodded as she popped off of the stool “Hi…I’m Addy.” She brought out a hand to Kathy with an overly friendly grin.
“Whatever!” Snow snapped as she whacked Addy’s hand aside and pulled Kathy behind her “Don’t pretend like you’re all nice.”
Addy’s head snapped up as she widened her eyes at Snow “This is none of your business. What are you doing here?”
“Same as Kathy…looking for Mel.” Roach answered for her.
Snow nodded “Is he here?” she had good news for him. He wouldn’t have to pay for her anymore, she had found a good and secure job.
Roach shook his head and Addy answered for him “Awww…too bad. You just missed him. He’s on a business trip.”
“Where?” Snow asked with her brows furrowed. She knew ‘business’ meant a dangerous exchange.
“Toronto.” Roach replied.
Addy threw him an evil glare “That’s confidential information. You’re not suppose to say anything!” she scolded “If you weren’t Mel’s best friend, I would have turned you into Daddy.”
Kathy frowned “Is it dangerous?” she asked Roach.
He smiled “It’s always dangerous but Mel Gor always manages to come home with just a few cuts and bruises. Don’t worry, this time won’t be any different.”
Snow patted Kathy on the shoulder “It’s okay. I have a feeling he’ll be fine.”
“Of course he will!” Addy cried in Mel’s defense.
Kathy on the other hand had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach “I’m not so sure. Maybe I should call him?” she looked at Snow and Roach for reassurance.
The two shrugged while Addy snickered “He doesn’t even answer my calls, why should he answer yours? Anyways, I’ve been calling him for days, he has his phone off.”
Kathy wasn’t listening as she dialed his name and waited for it to ring. He didn’t pick up until the third ring “Mel?” she asked when the line picked up. Addy’s head quickly snapped over to Kathy who was holding onto her cell phone for dear life.
“Katie? Why are you calling?” he seemed a little more than distracted.
Her face fell “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
“Yeah..of course.” He said hastily “How have you been?” he asked with a little more interest “Still as cute as ever I presume? Whoops…not suppose to say that in front of Neil huh? Is he around?”
Kathy smiled “No…actually, I’m in your bar with Roach, Snow and Addy.”
“Addy? Do not listen to anything she says.” He warned and Kathy turned to Addy with wondering eyes.
“What did he say?” Addy asked hurriedly “Let me talk to him.” She reached for Kathy’s cell and Snow quickly snapped Addy’s reaching hand away.
Mel frowned “Give the phone to Roach.” He ordered Kathy.
Kathy did as she was told and handed it to Roach who answered it with only “Yes and hmm…” after a few minutes he finally gave the phone back to Kathy.
“I can’t talk to you right now…how about we talk some other time? I’ll call you.” He promised but she knew he wouldn’t from the sound of his voice.
“Sure.” Her voice was saddened “Bye.”
Addy sighed “I told you to give me the phone. I wanted to talk to Mel Gor.” She whined.
Kathy smiled apologetically “Sorry… I think he was busy.” She turned to Snow and Roach “It’s getting late. I have to go home.”
Snow looked over at Addy who had an evil grin on her face “I’ll walk you home…” she turned to Kathy and pulled her by the hand.
Addy smiled after the girls “Run…run all you want but you can’t hide.” She snapped her fingers at her boys and they rushed out after the two girls.
Roach frowned as he snuck away towards the back entrance. Outside, Kathy was confused at Snow’s behavior “What is the matter with you?” she asked when the two practically sprinted down a block. “I live that way.” She pointed to the opposite direction.
Snow spun her head back and found the two guys close on their backs “Not tonight you don’t.” she pulled at Kathy’s arm as they rushed off but they were quickly blocked by two guys dressed in black who came from the back alley way. The girls turned to opposite way and again were blocked by the other two guys.
The four men were closing in on the two girls when Roach appeared from behind “Hey, Siu Jei is calling for you guys.” The guys looked at him suspiciously “You don’t believe me? She wasn’t feeling too good…I think she has to go to the hospital.”
The guys began to slowly take the bait as they backed away “Come on.” One of the guys nodded to the other three as they rushed back to the bar.
Roach made sure they were far away as he turned to Snow and Kathy “Come on.” He reached for Kathy’s arm and pulled her away. They speed walked to a more crowded part of town and stopped “I think you’re safe now.”
Kathy laughed “She’s just a girl. What harm could she do?”
Snow snickered “Kidnap, threaten and who knows what else she is capable of doing.”
“Really?” Kathy frowned “She did that to you?”
“She thought I was Mel’s girl.” Snow laughed but quickly stopped when Kathy winced at the comment “Apparently Addy has a mad crush on Mel. She’s Cheung Gor’s daughter. He’s the head of Red Dragon.” She explained.
Kathy nodded “I see…what does that got to do with me? I’m not Mel’s girl.”
Roach smiled “You may not be his girl, but everyone knows how much Mel likes you. He told me earlier to make sure you stay away from Addy. She might not be dangerous but she will make your life a living hell. Come on, let’s get out of here before she finds us.”
