chapter 2

"What I'm gonna do now.....Oh God help me...." I panicked pacing around my room.

He's going to fire me that's for sure

I glanced around my room trying to find something for inspiration and then my eyes fell on that briefcase. That stupid briefcase!!
I narrowed my eyes at it hoping that with my furious glare It'll burn down to ashes. But unfortunately that's not gonna happen. So instead being a mad woman I am

"You!!!! because of you it all had happened. I lost my job, my everything...you stupid briefcase, do you have any idea what you have done.uhhhh!!!!!!! ".

I'm really going crazy, talking to non living thing. I marched over to the briefcase stomp my foot over it again and again but I got tired after sometime. P.S. My foot really hurts now.

Curiosity got best of me. I eyed the brief case for sometime thinking about what the hell is in it. I gently took the case and placed it on my lap. It's a typical black leather brief case with a 3 dial rotary combo lock that goes from 0-9 on each dial. It has a modern lock design that have a spin lock mechanism. Firstly I tried random spins as far as my imagination can take me. I took me half an hour but results were still the same.

Why the heck it's not opening!

I got up wandered to my kitchen for some food to ingest and water. Then after my stomach is as full as hippopotamus I decided to deal with that stupid briefcase again but this time with my brain.

I decided to try using my hacking thing that I learned when I was in high school by my senior it was pretty interesting to learn. I spin the lock dail in opposite direction that is from top to bottom so there is no stop for the dials. Now I placed the first digit of each of the 3 dail to 9. Now I continuously hold the little button that release the latch in the position that will open the case once the proper combination is inserted. Now I'm  going to spin the dial backward so that every dial click in place............................

"Please.. open please!!!

Click!

"OHHHHHHhhhh my gosh ohhh my God I did it like really did it... thank you God for praising with such a good brain". I fist pumped in the air with excitement and happiness.

I grinned from ear to ear and cautiously open the case biting my lip in anticipation.
There was some documents in a file and some papers they all were written in different language that I can't seem to pin point maybe it was Russian or Italian I just can't tell. I pick the papers squinting my eyes on words trying to find some similar words. The words that caught my eye were Bratva and Omertà.

What the fuck does it mean?

"Bratva and Omertà". These word sounded foreign on my tongue.

I turn on my phone trying to search the meaning on Google but unfortunately my data balance is zero. That reminds me I really need to recharge my data.

Seriously fuck my life!

I put the papers aside and then proceed to see inside the briefcase.
There is a small pocket at the side of it. I open it and a small transparent plastic bag came into view. There stood inside it the most beautiful ring I have ever seen.

The ring's band is of silver colour. In the middle of it stood a blood red gem stone surrounding it, is the mimic of leaves of diamond beautifully engraved.

The ring was simple, elegant, stunning.

No other words can describe it. It looked quite expensive. I was still in daze. I put it in my ring finger. I was so damn beautiful.

"Ohhhhhh god I'm going to die". I awed at the ring in my finger.

I carefully placed back the ring and the documents in the briefcase, shutting it down and putting it on my study desk.

I heaved a sigh, sinking deep into my bed and pillows. It's 1:38 AM right now. I decided to get some sleep now. As tomorrow I have nothing to do. At that moment I realized that right now I'm jobless and so damn screwed.
