".........What do you want done?" I asked in a very serious tone.
  Everything was silent for a but. I looked into Gus's eyes and I saw a blood thirst hunger.
  "I'm guessing by that look in your eyes, that you want her to permanently disappear...." I said.
  Gus could only nod his head. And then.......
  "Yes......I want her to NEVER ruin another families life again." Gus said.
  Everything went silent again. You could even hear a pin drop if you tried to listen.
  "Understood." I said with deadly seriousness in my voice.
  "What is it all gonna cost me?" Gus asked.
  "Well, that varies on what needs to be done. But I can give you a rough estimate. I would say about................$50,000. That's figuring on the high side." I said.
  Gus nodded his head and went into deep thought.
  Once again, things were silent and sort of awkward.
  I reached my hand out and touched Gus's shoulder. Gus jumped at my touch.
  "I'm sorry. You may go now Gus. I have everything I need." I said gently.
  Gus cleared his throat, "Right. Thank You Yuka. Thank You for everything." Gus said as he got up from his seat.
  I got up from my seat too, "You are welcome Gus. Please don't fret. All will be well and justice served." I said with great determination.
  Gus nodded his head and I escorted him out.
  As soon as I shut the door and released a deep sigh that I have been holding.
  "It sounds familiar, don't you think?" Wilfred asked from the shadows.
  "Familiar? No, I don't think so." I said as I gathered my things and took them to my office.
  "Think long and hard. You've seen this pattern before. You've heard the name Medline before." Wilfred said.
  I only hummed in response as I was busy setting things up so I can conduct my research.
  'Medline.......Medline.........Medline.....' I repeated in my head.
  I accidentally bumped a stack of files on the floor.
  "UGH!!" I exclaimed.
  As I was bending down to pick up the files, one in particular stood out among the rest.
  The title of this specific file is "Medline."
  My eyes went wide and I immediately knew who it was. What all she had done, what all she had said. It made my blood boil.
  "Medline............ You're dead meat!"
