David is tapping on the car dashboard. His eyes are staring at the red light of the traffic light. Cobra is looking at his watch. 10:30 pm. Then he looks to the front. There are 3 cars waiting to move too.
After a few minutes, they arrived at a flat. The car is parked at an open spot facing Block E. They climbed up the stairs to the fifth floor before entering a house number 14.
Rhyno is smoking at the balcony. He greeted David and Cobra. "David, Cobra, do you have the stuff?" asked Rhyno.
David entered the house. Cobra joins Rhyno at the balcony while looking up into the sky, into the moon and stars.
"So, Rhyno. Uhh.. where did you get that name?" asked Cobra suddenly. Rhyno laughed.
"I don't know. They just called me that. They said my body is big and tough, like a rhyno." Cobra also laughed listening to Rhyno's explanation.
"I want to ask you something.. Actually, who am I back then?" asked Cobra while looking at Rhyno's face, hoping for an answer.
Rhyno became stunned. "Are you sure you want to know?"
"That's why I asked."
"Back then, you're poor. Unlucky. The community made your life much harder. What you don't deserved to get, that's what you receive. You're innocent, but they treat you like that."
"What.... do you mean?" Cobra is confused.
"You're an ex - prisoner."
Cobra is shocked. "What did I do?"
"You're did nothing wrong. You're slandered. But as far as I remember, you told me you don't want me to remind you about all these things. While in prison, you had suffered a lot. So, when you're released after proved innocent, you wanted to take revenge." Rhyno looked up into the sky.
"That's.. That's how I was back then?" Cobra couldn't believe what he's hearing.
"Our luck was almost the same as your's. That's why we joined you because we felt what you felt before." continued Rhyno.
Their conversation stopped when David walked out. "Come on, let's go inside." David said to Cobra and Rhyno.
They went into a room to the left of the front door. That room is used as a discussion room. There's a red plastic table at the middle. The ceiling fan is moving at the speed of 3. Cobra looked at what's on the table. There are a few black boxes about the size of a tissue box placed on it.
"What's this?" asked Cobra.
"You want to know what this is?" David opened one of the boxes. Cobra looked inside. Pills. There are hundreds of blue pills about the size of a 50 cent coin.
"This is business, Cobra. Business. Our hardwork." continued David.
"Are those drugs?" asked Cobra. His heart is pounding.
"Well, if you want to call them that." replied David.
"This is my newest creation. With a mix of that special ingredients you guys bought just now, those pills which originally can cure flu, can now make you relax. This pill can bring you to your own world. You can be whoever or whatever you want to be. Isn't that awesome?" explained Doc.
"Someone would rather pay RM100 just for 2 pills, Cobra. They're selling crazy! We can get easy cash with these!" said Rhyno.
"But.. This is wrong! This is a crime!" shouted Cobra.
"Wrong? We're just fulfilling what people needs. They order, they pay, we give them. Easy." replied Lau.
Cobra turned back and dashed out of the house. Even though he has amnesia, he still can differentiate between what's wrong and what's not. Is it true that I was just like that back then? Cobra still can't accept the fact about his true identity. And he still can't accept the fact his name is Cobra.
