Episode 5 - The Mafia Boss

Margaret stood up from the chair smiled at Aiden. "Welcome to our partnership, Aiden."

"Partnership?" Aiden mumbled. Suddenly, the bell rang. Aiden hurried up to his next class and left Harmony and Margaret alone.

"He's such a hypocrite." Harmony said as she grabbed her gun and shot the darts nearby. Her eyes then softened, a few flashbacks suddenly filled her mind.

Help me...

...

The next day, Aiden was just casually walking on the streets. It was a nice morning and Aiden got inside the convenience store.

After getting his change, he walked out of the convenience store but then noticed a man staring at home from a dark alley. Aiden got creeped out by this and tried to walk away but the man followed him. Suddenly, he felt the cold metal of gun right at the back of his head, causing him to freeze and stop walking.

"Stop right there." The man said. "Who are you and what are your intentions with the Mafia?"

"Mafia? Is this the guy Harmony works for?"

"I-I... My name is Aiden Brooks, sir." Aiden replied, his hands shaking and getting a bit sweaty. He made a really bad decision and rushed away out of nowhere. The man, in response, pulled the trigger but Harmony pushed the gun from the man's hand, causing the bullet to hit the ground instead.

"Don't hurt him." Said Harmony. She gave the man a stern look.

"Have you got a death wish, Fair Lady?" The man hissed. He grabbed Harmony by the collar but she gripped on his wrist.

She narrowed her eyes. "If you kill him then I won't accept any job offers from you anymore, Boss."

"Boss?" Aiden wondered.

Aiden suddenly felt a hand touch his shoulder. As he turned around, he saw it was only Margaret. She pulled Aiden with her and started walking away.

"Hey! Margaret- What's wrong with you!?"

"Shut it, boy. You're lucky Harmony saw you. If she didn't see you and save you in time, you would be killed by now."

"Who even is that guy?"

"He kept Harmony in the Mafia House safe, he's the one feeding and giving Harmony her needs, he's the one paying her to kill and torture."

"Her... Father figure?"

"I wouldn't say that." Margaret shook her head. "He's more like a boss to Harmony than a dad. They don't get along well but he still keeps her in because of her amazing performance."

Aiden looked back and from the far view, he could still see Harmony and whoever that man was.

"... Why did he call her 'Fairy Lady', then?"

"That's Harmony's code name."

"Code name?"

"Yes. Her code name is Fairy Lady. That's what she's called because she makes everything fair and all her works are fairly done."

Once they reached an empty space, Aiden pulled his arm back to himself and stepped away a little bit, glaring at Margaret. "Wait a minute, isn't Harmony supposed to be a psycho? Why did she save me?"

Margaret paused from the force and turned to face Aiden, a neutral expression masked on her. "Because she doesn't have a reason to not do it." She approached Aiden. "Keep this in the little brain of yours, kid. Harmony may be a total psychopath and would kill anyone if she needs to, she still has a heart. She only tortures, kills, you name it if you make her feel like she's in danger or when she's paid to do so. But other than that, she has no other reason to give in to her psychopathic desires."
