Double Date With Mafia [BXB]

[11] Another Trap

Several days had passed since Cylo and Ivo rejected the offer from Jeff and Law. Now, they felt increasingly confident about completing their revenge mission on their own. However, they could not deny the difficulty of their task. Despite their best efforts, they had yet to uncover crucial information about the Blood Mafia—such as their headquarters, the number of members, and other key details.

Cylo turned to Ivo. "We need to head to the city to use more advanced technology," he suggested. Ivo nodded and stopped using his gadget.

"Yeah, we should go into town the day after tomorrow," Ivo agreed.

"I'm with you. But our food supplies are running low, so we need to gather more ingredients from the forest," Cylo said.

"Okay."

They quickly changed clothes and set off into the forest. They enjoyed this routine, having done it several times before. As they walked along the path, they chatted about various topics and admired the natural beauty around them. Eventually, they arrived at a picturesque waterfall and took some photos.

"The waterfall is stunning," Ivo remarked as he walked back to Cylo. They decided to venture deeper into the forest.

Cylo and Ivo continued their trek, passing through towering trees until they reached the forest's heart. They took a break to enjoy the serene environment. Although Cylo was unfamiliar with the edible plants, Ivo's knowledge helped them identify which ones to collect.

Cylo and Ivo complemented each other well. While Cylo excelled in cooking, Ivo's expertise in selecting food ingredients was invaluable. Together, they made a great team.

"Alright, let's get started," Cylo said.

"Okay."

They scattered to begin their foraging. Cylo searched for mushrooms, while Ivo looked for edible plants. After a while, Cylo had gathered a significant amount of mushrooms, and Ivo had collected various plants. They knew they couldn't keep too much food due to the lack of refrigeration in their small house.

Cylo approached Ivo. "Is this enough?" he asked.

Ivo nodded. "Yeah."

Next, they headed towards the western part of the forest in search of fruits. After about thirty minutes, they found themselves sitting on a large rock by the river, enjoying some avocados they had picked.

"This is delicious," Ivo said, savoring the fruit.

"Yeah, it's very tasty," Cylo agreed.

They finished their avocados and prepared to catch fish. Ivo placed his gadget on a rock and he and Cylo waded into the river. The day was sunny, and the water was so clear that they could see the fish swimming beneath them.

As Ivo spotted a fish, he threw his knife, striking it with a splash. "Yeah! Got—" he started to exclaim.

Before he could finish, Cylo covered his mouth and pushed him behind a rock. Ivo was puzzled but understood when Cylo gestured for silence.

"Shh... there's mafia around," Cylo whispered as he scanned their surroundings.

Ivo quickly realized the danger. Without their weapons and with Ivo's gadget left on the rock, they were unprepared for confrontation.

They heard voices approaching. "Looks like we're close. Here's some food and water," someone said.

Cylo and Ivo exchanged worried glances and nodded in understanding. The voices belonged to Blood Mafia members searching for them.
