Gone.
All of them.
The wind howled across the port 🌬️🌊.
Barfi stood frozen, chest heaving, eyes wide.
Hawk stared at the empty lighthouse grounds, disbelief etched into his face.
"What… what did you just do…?" 😶
Walter whispered in awe,
"You cured madness…" 🧠✨
Barfi's legs finally gave out.
He dropped to his knees 🧎♂️.
"Amazing…" he breathed.
"I survived…"
Laddu's voice crackled through the phone 📱:
"Good.
Now come back."
The call cut.
🚗 ESCAPE FAILED 🚗
Hawk grabbed Barfi and Walter and shoved them into the car.
He turned the key 🔑.
The engine coughed.
Wheezed.
Then—
Dead. 💀🚗
Barfi whispered desperately,
"Please… not now…"
Before they could try again—
Black vans slid in silently from both sides 🚐🚐.
Doors opened.
Armed men surrounded them.
"Hands up," one said calmly.
Hawk sighed.
"Oh great. Another kidnapping." 😐
Walter whimpered.
Barfi closed his eyes and muttered,
"Why am I the boss of psychos…
and still getting kidnapped?"
A black hood dropped over his head.
Doors slammed.
Darkness swallowed them.
🚐 INTO THE DARK 🚐
Inside the van, the engine rumbled.
Barfi leaned against the wall, exhausted 😮💨.
Walter hugged his shotgun like a teddy bear 🧸🔫.
Hawk stared straight ahead, jaw tight, refusing fear.
Silence stretched.
Then Barfi whispered,
"Hawk… do you know who these people are?"
Hawk closed his eyes.
"Yes."
Barfi swallowed.
"Who…?"
Hawk exhaled slowly.
"They're here…
for me."
Walter screamed instantly,
"WHAT!? WHY FOR YOU!? WHY NOT FOR ME!? I DID MANY ILLEGAL THINGS!" 😱
Barfi slapped his forehead 🤦.
"Walter, don't request arrest."
Walter pouted.
"I just want equal attention…"
Hawk continued, voice low.
"Japanese underworld enforcers.
I've blocked billions in illegal trade.
Chased them across countries.
Humiliated their boss… twice."
Barfi blinked.
"Humiliated how…?"
Hawk groaned.
"Once I arrested his accountant by mistake."
"Second time… I arrested his dog."
Barfi gasped.
"YOU ARRESTED A DOG!?" 🐕🚓
"He bit me!"
Walter nodded seriously.
"He was resisting arrest."
Barfi leaned back, horrified.
"So this kidnapping…
is your fault?"
Hawk nodded.
"Yes."
Walter's eyes widened.
"So we're background characters in your drama!?"
"You followed me into the lighthouse!" Hawk snapped.
"You came through a WINDOW LIKE BATMAN!" Barfi shot back.
Walter whispered in awe,
"Doctor… he's cooler than Batman."
Hawk groaned.
"They aren't after you.
They want me."
Barfi sighed in relief.
"Oh thank God—"
The van hit a bump 💥.
"Ow—okay never mind. God is busy."
🏢 THE LION'S DEN 🏢
The van stopped.
Doors opened.
Light flooded in ☀️.
"Out."
They were led into a massive underground room.
Soft lighting 💡.
Expensive carpets.
Leather sofas.
Calm music 🎶.
It looked like the home of a billionaire who had never smiled.
Barfi whispered,
"They kidnapped us into a rich man's house…
That's so inappropriate."
Walter nodded.
"Yes. Kidnapping should be done in simple places."
Hawk sighed.
"This is their HQ. Get ready."
They sat stiffly on the sofa.
Then—
He entered.
Tall.
Sharp suit.
Cold eyes 👁️.
Walking like the floor feared him.
The Japanese underworld boss.
He stared at Hawk.
"You."
Hawk tensed.
"You interfered with our business.
Ruined deals.
Arrested my men."
"…And my dog."
Hawk muttered,
"He attacked first."
Walter whispered,
"Doctor, if we die today, I blame Hawk."
"I also blame Hawk," Barfi replied.
The boss stepped closer.
Barfi braced himself.
Then—
🌸 SUNSHINE 🌸
"GRANPAAA! I'm home!" 😄
Everything froze.
The boss froze.
His terrifying aura evaporated instantly.
He spun around with the softest smile imaginable.
"Miko! My flower!" 🌸
Miko ran in, backpack bouncing 🎒✨, and hugged him tightly.
Barfi's soul left his body.
Walter gasped.
"Doctor… it's her…"
Hawk whispered, horrified,
"She doesn't know… does she?"
"No," the boss said gently, patting her head.
"Everything is peaceful."
Miko turned toward them, eyes sparkling.
"Barfi-san! Walter-san! Hawk-san!"
"What are you doing here? Tea with Granpa? So cute!" ☕💖
Hawk internally died.
Barfi smiled with maximum fear.
"Hehe… yes. Tea. Peace. Love."
Walter added proudly,
"We are interns."
Hawk snapped,
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!?"
Miko clapped happily.
"Wow! Granpa hired interns!"
The boss twitched—
then nodded.
"Yes.
Very… legally."
🧠 REALIZATION 🧠
Barfi's mind collapsed.
Boss of psychos.
Hunted cop.
Illegal grandpa.
And Miko…
Walter whispered,
"This girl is not a person."
Hawk murmured, eyes wide,
"She's a nuclear bunker."
Walter nodded.
"Yes, Doctor. Life helmet."
🧾 INTRODUCTIONS 🧾
Miko smiled brightly.
"This is Barfi-san! He helps me in exams even when teachers shout!"
Barfi waved weakly.
"Yes… helpful… terrified…"
Hawk elbowed him.
"And this is Walter-ojisan! He tells funny stories!"
Walter puffed up.
"Most illegal— I mean educational!"
Hawk kicked him.
"And this is Hawk-ojisan!"
"He saved me from two bad guys last year!"
Silence.
The boss froze.
Hawk whispered, stunned,
"…That was you?"
Miko nodded.
"You kicked one man like football!" ⚽
Barfi whispered,
"You earned mafia respect by accident."
Walter whispered,
"He will cry tonight."
👑 POWER SHIFT 👑
The boss glanced at his men.
They bowed and left.
One whispered into an earpiece:
"Remove those who threatened Lady Miko."
Inside, Miko hugged her grandpa again 💕.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too."
Barfi watched, confused between fear and awe.
Hawk relaxed for the first time.
"As long as she's here… we're safe."
Barfi whispered,
"Until she leaves."
"…Then we're dead," Hawk replied.
🫖 TEA TIME FROM HELL 🫖
"Let's have tea!" Miko clapped.
Porcelain cups appeared 🍵—worth more than Barfi's education.
Walter spilled sugar.
Hawk tried to look professional.
Barfi held his cup like a bomb 💣.
Miko beamed.
"You'll love working here!"
Hawk muttered,
"We're interns in hell…"
"Don't die in front of her," Barfi whispered.
🏢 OFFICE TOUR 🏢
Accounting room 💰—
Muscle men counting cash.
Katana.
Abacus like a weapon.
"Delivery room" 📦—
EXPLOSIVE labels.
Weapons.
Walter whispered,
"Illegal Amazon."
Finally—
A massive steel door opened.
Inside…
Posters.
Banners.
Neon lights.
All of Miko.
"MIKO FAN CLUB — GRANPA'S ANGELS"
Barfi whispered,
"…Is this a cult?"
Walter whispered,
"More dangerous than psychos."
A guard saluted.
"LONG LIVE LADY MIKO!"
Barfi nearly fainted.
Walter cried.
Hawk accepted fate.
Barfi whispered the truth:
"This girl isn't protected."
"She is worshipped."
And that was the most terrifying thing of all.
