Early Bird (Erkenci Kus)(Part 3)

100. Well deserved punishment

Can walks into the restaurant Mine sent him the address to and searches fleetingly. Spotting her at a table by the window, he walks over and she stands.

"Can."

"Hello," he nods and shakes her hand. They didn't know each other well enough for hugs, but at least she ordered tea, which he could appreciate.

They sit down and Mine starts immediately - something else Can apprecaited because he didn't like wasting time. "Can, I know that you hate Fabbri."

"It's no secret, yes. It makes me a little biased when it comes to his employees, no offense."

"Of course, and you're free to express yourself in that regard. At least with me. I can't blame you...but that's not why I called. I wanted to meet because I have something important to tell you."

Can nods. "And I'm here to listen, but that doesn't mean I'll believe what you have to say."

"Again, your free to do that too." She searches his eyes and he waits. "Look, Fabbri and I have been friends since university. We've worked together now for a very long time. But I never imagined that his ambitions and pride would go as far as it has. That he would destroy a successful company because of it...I was blind to everything but I've recently been made to see the very awful light."

"That's good," Can sips his tea. "I'm happy for you. But what's that got to do with me?" He wasn't trying to be condescending at all, he was actually glad for her - he just couldn't see what it had to do with him.

"I didn't want to believe it at first. But I have no choice anymore. Fabbri's gotten involved with some very bad things lately. He apologized every time and said that it won't happen again, that he would get out of it and fix it. And I believed him, but I think I was wrong to do so."

Can nods again. Okay?

"What he did to you was the last straw for me."

"I hope you mean it this time. You'll be better off without him to be honest."

"I do. I've saved myself from him."

"Good."

"Before I left the office, I took some documents. All of them attest to his dishonesty and illegal doings. I took it all to the police this morning."

Well damn. Can was mildly impressed.

"Everything will be put to rights soon. Fabbri is going to be arrested within the hour."

Can stares at her a moment and then he laughs, shocked at how good that sounded. "That's great and all but I have to ask you something, if I may?" He hoped that they could take down two birds with one stone - Mine was giving him hope with what she said that this whole business could be ended at the same time. "Among the documents you took, is there perhaps anything related to Aylin?"

"There is."

"If I ask you to send what you have on Aylin to my brother, would you?"

"Of course."

Can feels so hyped he wanted to run to Fabbri's office right then and wait for the police. "I can't wait to see the look on Fabbri's face when they get there. Thank you for telling me." He was ridiculously excited to see this. "I think I'll go and enjoy that now." He stands up. "Thank you for the tea and the information."

"Can," Mine says and he stops two steps away. "There's one more thing you should know."

He turns and shrugs in question.

"Your girlfriend. Sanem?"

"What about her?"

"As you probably know Fabbri is obsessed with her."
