The Pen

- in Zdanov's office -

YN POV

- I didn't expect you to have visitors right now. I'm sorry for coming at a time where you're busy. There is something I had to deliver urgently.

There was a man next to him. Wait a minute, I'm sure it was the one from yesterday. I believe he doesn't remember me.

- I told you last time but you didn't give me an answer. I'd like to proceed with the work first. One is a complaint form and the other is a court injunction.

I say pushing the documents to him.

- I have inclosed the documents. Please make sure to look at all the documents when you have time.

- Damn newbie lawyer.

What does this bitch want. I'm just doing my job, he better not be angry at me but at his faults.

- HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!!

- Well as you said " I'm a newbie ", Not to worry though! We will be done with the factory soon.

Hehe, let's stop right here for today. I looked around a little and made eye-contact with that wall-guy. He's been staring at me for a while, I wonder who he is. Just what's his connection with Georg Zdanov. I'm really curious about it...

Let's just approach him.

- Hello, I'm LN YN. As you can see I'm a lawyer.

I hand him my business card.

Is he not answer or sum?

- My name is Caesar.

One of his assistants, I guessed, handed me his.

- I see. It was nice meeting you, I'll be on my way. I hope to hear a reply from you soon Mr. Znadov.

Damn, he really looks... terrifying. Unlike a lot of people I encountered, the atmosphere around him was noticeably subdued. He resembles a wolf.

- back home -

I have shown my client, Nikola, the business card.

- Wait a minute, don't tell me... Is this the mafia ?

- I'm not sure but I saw him with a strange man. Do you happen to know anything about this ?

- No, I don't know...

- Sergeyev, one of Russia's largest mafia groups. If you look at the business card, I think only someone in the exclusive level can do this.

- So what do you want me to do now ? I'm, I'm probably...

- It may be difficult to protect the factory. Instead, he's claiming damages for unfair acquisition.

- But Zdanov will never listen to it!

- No, it's not him.

I take back the business card from his hands.

- From now on. I'm thinking of getting inside the mafia.

- Somewhere else -

- It's a gift from Georg Zdanov.

- I never knew he had a hobby of collecting fountain pens.

- ...Sorry! Zdanov asked me what I would like to give you as a gift, and I thought it would be ok. By any chance... do you like the gift ?

- Indeed. That's why it's even more unpleasant.

- I'll be careful of choosing another gift next time.

Someone entered the room.

- I'm sorry Caeser. Someone came to see you and you promised-

- Who is it ? I would have checked Caeser's schedule.

- She's a lawyer for a man named Nikola.

- Tell her I can't talk right now. Return this pen back as well.

- Ok I will.

Crash noises could be heard from outside.

- What's all this fuss ?

Someone slammed the door open.

- You be really busy mister Caeser. I'm sure I've already contacted you. You keep lying to me... This is troublesome.

- I already told you I wasn't going to talk to you right now.

- But I only have time now. It's about the factory mister Zdanov is trying to take. You will be able to exert considerable influence on the members of parliament! You know that I'm mister Nikola's lawyer right ?

- Well, I don't know.

Will you look at that.

- We definitely met at the senator's office.

- I can't seem to remember.

Why you smiling like that ?

- That's too bad... Why wasn't I a little bit more impressive.

I grab a fountain pen from the desk and jump on it. It was now stabbed in the chair right next to his head.

- Now you remember ?

- Yeah this time. I know for sure.

- You're helping the congressman. It's obvious so I won't ask you again.

I jump of his desk and face him again.

- The arrest of a lawmaker with a lot of corruption... I think it's very common. Those who have helped him won't be able unsavory background checks.

I throw the document on his table.

- Here's the data. As mafia exclusive, I hope you can weigh the benefits. Please contact me within 3 days. Well see you next time, mister Caeser.

I close the door and leave them behind.

- Are you alright sir ? How dare she do such a thing! If you give me an order, I'll be right back.

- I can't give this back. Find information about her. Family relationships, hometown, schools she's been to, even the number of books that she has.

I have always wanted to raise a tigress.
