The Mafia Monk (Crazy Mafia series Book 1)

Chapter 8

I immediately pulled out my phone from my pocket again opened the search engine.

'Qualities of Mafia lifestyle'

The first search showed that they have some good qualities of be being intelligent, which is quite true as he is a Monk too. They are tough which I don't agree too because he looks as soft as yogurt puddings.

Nah... he is a softie.

Mafia men are very informative. This I agree because he knows so many things and I saw him looking around cautiously every minute in the orphanage. He must be looking for something like posters or advertisements stands to read.

Only a poor pocket knows the value of rich brain... 

Mafia men are very secretive with everything. Now I understand why I couldn't find him already. He was abiding the rules of being a secret part timer.

Now comes the part, where could he live secretly in a place like California?

According to the mafia books I read, they usually stay in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods.

Woods...! Woods?

"Taxi!" I called out for an empty cab that was passing by. 

I have a feeling that Mr. Monk also stay in the jungle in the outskirts of the city. And since he is also playing a role of a werewolf and werewolves also live in the jungle, he is fated to live in wilderness.

Once I sat in the cab and ordered where to drive me, I opened Google maps and searched for any buildings in the jungle and found few torn down establishments which were previously hunters rest area.

Aww, he must be living in a torn down places. He must've said he has no much money to have a decent shelter then I would have done something for him.

Poor thing, must have been cold in winter, wet in rainy and sweaty in summers. He must've told me about how he was living. I feel so sorry for him and Mr. Egor. I didn't know when I gave him the role of a beggar, he really was one.

But on a positive note, he could at least play the role realistically.

"Ma'am we are here." The driver notified me and I got down from the cab giving him his fare.

Hmm, according to the uncle Google's maps, there are around three torn down places so if I go deep into the woods to the extreme right, I can find an old shed.

Wow, the cool refreshing air is so relaxing. It would be so good to live here every day. I skipped through the green trees happily and jumped high in joy whenever there was a large root.

I think I would work a part time job, earn, save and will build a small house aside Mr. Monk's here. That would be so good!

Mr. Monk would love my idea. I will tell him once I meet him.

After walking for half an hour, I reached the ragged shed. It looked so old and smells so bad. There's moist moss on the ground in the corners of the only room. It smells like thousands of creatures are dead and decomposed here.

My poor monk, he is going through so much in life. He is staying at a place like this? Though the surroundings in woods is great, the shed is not livable at all.

Stupid Zinnia, you should have asked where they were staying yesterday. Maybe they were silent about their address because they didn't want pity from me.

I walked around the room and found no traces of people living so I decided to walk to the next ragged shed in the centre of the woods. I was walking out of the room when my leg got into a contact something and fell down with a loud thud.

Ouch! Not only your mouth, use your eyes to Zinnia!

I wanted to stand up but before I could, the ground beneath me opened and I slide down into a dark long underground tunnel like slide.

It was so dark and creepy but the slide was getting so exciting. I only played on slides when I was small so sliding after many years is so exciting.

Slowly the dark tunnel slide turned blue and blurry when the slide turned out to be a glass one and surrounded by water. I fell on something with a thud again and rolled at a little with the force I slid down.

"Argh, ouch!" I rubbed my arms and face to see if I scratched somewhere.

Once I made sure I did not scratch my skin anywhere, I looked around to see myself in a large glass globe house undersea.

Wow! This is so beautiful!

"Who's there?" I heard a loud commanding voice. I grinned at the familiar voice and stood up immediately to hug the person.

"Mr. Egor. I came here to get Mr. Monk to the carnival. But what are you doing here? Where is here? This place looks so beautiful." I asked and hugged him tightly feeling so emotional that I finally found them.

"What are you doing here, Zinnia? How did you get here?" He was shocked don't know why.

He should be happy that I finally found them then why is he so surprised like he saw a ghost?

"I told you already I came to find you both. Mr. Monk's number is getting unavailable so I thought it might got under some repair so I came to find you people myself. Aren't you happy?" I asked jumping with joy and clapping with excitement.

He looked so dead suddenly like I just punched him with an iron rod. "Wow, you found us. Of course I am happy, so happy." He put on a weird smile and dusted his palms.

Was that a kind of clapping? It looks so cool!

"How did you find us?" He asked when I was looking around in amazement.

"I tell you later. Where are we? Is that real water and real fishes?" I am so happy to see the fishes swimming around. I moved inside and it looked like a normal house in bigger size but the different was just that this is surrounded by water. "Is this an undersea house?" I asked again before he could answer.

He looked so tired so he just nodded and followed me inside the house.

"Poor you both. You are so poor to buy a piece of land that you had to build a glass house under water?" I really pity these both for staying in situation but like many said, the most big problem is also advantageous to you sometimes. He couldn't afford a piece of land so he was living in beautiful place coexisting with sea friends.

"What?" He looked at me incredulously like I uttered a taboo word. Why is he being so shocked today?

Is he embarrassed that I found out their financial state?

Maybe... he must be embarrassed.

"Is Mr. Monk here? Please take me to him?" I said and walked towards a small staircase inside a large living room.

Now time to take Mr. Monk to carnival.

Hello sweeties,

An early update is here, hope you enjoy it.

If you feel the chapter is silly then dear friends, it was meant to be silly because Zinnia is not only silly but her luck is silly too.

If Demyan's rivals think in a simple manner like Zinnia did, then they might have found him by now. Don't you think they think so complex when you can get your answers from simple thinking?

What do you think of Egor's expression when he saw Zinnia?

Please shower me with votes and comments.

Share my books with your friends.

Lots of Love
