Black Panda

Black Panda

“Enzo Parker” Charlton announced while boring his eyes in the screen of his tablet, standing near the mahogany table of the king. It was nine at night and King was still busy with his work. Charlton came a few minutes ago to deliver what he had found in a short period.

King hummed at the information as he filled his glass with a pink-coloured liquor, his favourite, before taking a sip of satisfaction. That fine man was looking out of the window of his office while enjoying his drink.

Ah! What a beautiful evening~

Or not

Soon enough, the liquid in his mouth turned sour at the sight of Garry in the lower garden so it became difficult for the king to swallow. He grimaced at the taste but gulped the drink down before leaving the window to go for his desk.

“he is known as ‘Black Panda’ and he was the true owner of those pink star diamonds,” Charlton said with a grin, finishing the precious information he had gathered after killing two people and hurting many others.

People just don’t understand the language of love.

King perked at the mention of ‘Black Panda’ and stopped in his tracks where he was going to sit. He placed the slim glass aside, took his seat and focused on the information Charlton was providing making the latter nervous with his hawk-like eyes.

King looked like Mr. Xavier

“T-There is no other information about Black Panda for now except that he was a cunning man and was very dangerous,” Charlton said and sighed in relief when the king leaned back on his chair and glared at the pile of files he was procrastinating about for so long now.

His secretary was no use, always getting away with a long, sloppy kiss and never doing his job.

“I have heard this name somewhere………..” King whispered to himself, going deep in thoughts.

“anything about the child…” King asked. clicking his tongue, referring to the boy who inherited the pink start diamonds.

Charlton nodded and clicked a few options on his screen before he started.

“He was, maybe, adopted by someone named as Wren Christopher. But there is nothing to confirm this so far” Charlton provided.

There was really nothing he was able to find from the ‘sweet apples child care’ centre. All the information about the adopted babies, which should be kept private, was magically vanished. It got to the point where Charlton had had enough and he managed a bullet in the superintendent’s head after having a very disrespectful argument.

That piece of shit was not cooperative.

“And lastly…..” King heard the dramatic pause and stared at Charlton not uttering any word. Charlton straightened himself and cleared his throat before glancing at the security gate on his screen.

“Mickey is here” he informed and King knitted his brows again before looking at the time. It was late at night for Mickey to come, besides, the boy wasn’t due anytime this week.

King nodded his head after a second of thought and soon a buffed man dropped Mickey at the king’s office door.

…….

Mickey entered the office a little jumpy and went straight to King, without any hesitation, to show him the adoption papers. He rummaged through the file to get to the main certificates and presented it before the king.

The crime lord read them thoroughly and his facial expressions went strict every passing second, his eyes burning holes at the name of the adopter.

The room went quiet for a while until one of them decided to break the ice.

“it means Mr Chris and Wren Christopher are the same men……..the man who adopted Mago” Mickey pointed out

“it means the pink start diamond boy is our little brat” Charlton said earning a glare from King making him instantly shut up.

He was not ‘ours’. He was ‘his’.

“it means his life is in danger since people are looking for him” Mickey said gnawing at his lips.

“it is no surprise anymore. He has billions in his name” King grumbled pushing the certificate away.

“what do you know about this man?” King asked referring to Mr Chris.

Mickey made a grouchy face at the mention of that ridiculous man and scrunched his nose in distaste before he started.

“I don’t know much other than that he is the foster parent of Mago. Mago lived with them for the majority of his life until he decided to risk his luck and ended up here” Mickey stated and an involuntary smile appeared on the king's face.

Yes, that’s how that adorable boy came into his life.

“he has a son and a daughter. Jana and Patty, and they both are a fucking bitch to every possible level” King coughed to control his skipping laugh and Charlton found an interest in his closed tab.

Mago and Mickey does not know the meaning of filter

“Does that man know about these diamonds?” King asked intrigued but at the same time testing something, calculating different points in his mind but Mickey shook his head. So far, there were no words running around for pink start diamonds in the mafia community and that means not many people had this information.

The fact can reduce the chances of threats to his baby boy’s life.

“I don’t think so. If he did, my baby would have been married, against his will, with Jana” Mickey said according to his own knowledge.

The new revelations about Mago’s past made Mickey more worried. He wanted to ask about the man who named his precious diamonds to Mago but he couldn’t muster the courage to ask.

Maybe next time

But right now he had the most urgent need to cuddle his baby and see him fine and healthy.

King watched Mickey looking around the room, for a certain someone and smiled at the younger.

“He is not coming here anytime soon……..must be downstairs creating havoc” King informed and Mickey smiled back sheepishly at being caught.

“you can look for him…..but don’t talk to anyone on your way” King instructed and Mickey grinned in appreciation before looking at King but not saying anything.

King caught the hint and smiled softly

“Don’t worry…..that boy is safe with me” King promised and Mickey sprinted out of the room being fully satisfied.

As soon as he left, all traces of a smile, playfulness and good mood also left the king. he straightened his back and picked up the certificate again to look at it carefully.

“find out the connection between Enzo Parker and Wren Christopher” King ordered and Charlton stood at attention.

“I want all the family history of Black Panda. Also, look for how it relates to my boy at all” King finished dismissing Charlton.

With all the newfound information, King was getting sceptical about a few things.

The crime lord leaned back on his chair to rest his stiff body. He closed his eyes and started to piece the broken facts together.

-The baby boy (Edward Mago) was the pink star diamond boy.

-Mr. Chris (Wren Christopher) was the one who adopted Edward Mago from Sweet Apples Child Care.

-Black Panda (Enzo Parker) was the one who named several pink start diamonds to Mago.

-Pumpkinhead (Kangsu) is helping a man who wants to find a boy with pink star diamonds in return for something that is probably against the king.

Things were finally falling in line.

With closed eyes, a smirk slowly made its way over King’s features and he smiled devilishly. He was great at investigations and nobody could compete king when he decided to use his cunning, very focused brain on something.

……..

“this shit isn’t working!!!” Mago whined loudly as he squirted the last bit of frosting from the frosting tube. He was busy making a peach tart with the help of his ‘father-in-law’. The boy created a blob of pale pink frosting in the centre of the tart and giggled when the long blob plopped, face down, on the base of the tart.

“This is not going to work if you squirt too much on it” Jayce laughed while handling his own tart with care.

Jayce was shocked, to say the least when he found Mago at the kitchen door with a demand to make a dessert. The boy looked so cute with a pout and a website opened on his phone which displayed a very appetizing-looking dessert.

He wanted to eat something sweet and who was Jayce to refuse that?

After brainstorming and looking for the available supplies, they both decided on making a peach tart.

It was too much work for Mago to be honest. He didn’t know that the dessert had to go through several steps before coming into its real form.

Several, harsh and dangerous steps.

Like the crust had to go through some very hot time.

But he was determined to make it and eat it too.

So the havoc started from the kitchen until it reached the dining area. The dessert was finished, it was baked and cooled down. The only thing that remained was its filling and frosting.

Jayce provided Mago with a bunch of sweet frosting tubes and the boy chose the pink looking one.

Mago, while sitting at the table, was busy decorating his tart but that stupid icing was not cooperative enough to be treated nicely.

Whenever he tried to make a perfect flower, the puffy frosting turned out to be a disoriented blob.

And so Mago had enough.

“I don’t want to do that…….this fucker is hopeless” The boy threw the frosting tube away and huffed while crossing his legs on the table, where he was sitting.

Jayce laughed loudly at that. He could never have this much fun in making any dessert unless it was with Mago.

The adorable boy who was now steaming with anger, looked like a meat dumpling.

“just be a little careful…….come here I will show you” he said picking another tube, smaller this time, and stretched his hand towards Mago who narrowed his eyes at him.

“I don’t wanna do it” he grumbled turning his face away from the tart.

Jayce smiled with twinkling eyes and reached out to touch Mago.

“come on ….I will show you” the older encouraged holding Mago’s hand gently and making the younger hold the tube firmly.

“Now…..we put a little pressure here to squirt the frosting” Jayce helped while placing his own thumb over Mago’s little one and pressing it once so the pink content came out of the tip.

“make a round with it…..” he instructed patiently, holding the younger’s hand and moving it accordingly.

“and then…… we go like this twice…..” Mago moved his hand under Jayce’s bigger one while his tongue stuck out in concentration.

“…..and stop here with a cute little tip” The small flower of pink frosting looked cute and it made Mago smile wholeheartedly.

“there you go….” Jayce cheered and raised his hand. Mago high-fived the older and hugged him tightly making the older smile at him.

“Baby…” he heard and turned around to find his soulmate standing at the threshold of the dining room, looking at them with wide-open eyes.

“Mickey!!!!” Mago yelled excitedly, gesturing his friend closer while bouncing on his spot.

Jayce left them alone to finish his own tart.

“what are you doing?” Mickey asked picking a piece of peach skin and eating it.

Mago showed Mickey his work proudly and earned a pat of good work on his head.

“do you know Mickey when I was kneading the dough………” Mago started and Mickey listened to him carefully and just like that the boys gossiped like no tomorrow. They discussed, laughed and cursed all together until the gossip turned towards Jana and his stupid acts.

“whaaaat?” Mago gasped when Mickey told him how Jana kissed him forcefully.

“Does he want you to have his babies now?” he asked with a perfectly raised brow. Mickey shrugged in return, poking a peach with a fork.

“I don’t know what that fucker wants but he has something that I want” Mago nudged Mickey to continue and frowned when he got to know about the meeting.

“so you want to get inside the building for your work and that asshole is asking for a make-out in return?” Mago asked angrily.

“he does but I flipped him off. That fuck boy ain’t getting me ass!!!” Mickey announced smugly and Mago giggled in return.

“I will handle him…. don’t worry. But you should care for yourself” The warning fell on the deaf’s ear when Mago didn’t respond.

Mickey pinched him lightly and the younger winced dramatically, still sitting over the table.

“I am serious…. you could be in danger. People might be after you” he warned again a little seriously and Mago shrugged.

“Clearly, they don’t know who I am……I will kick them assess in no time” Mago boasted and Mickey face palmed as he watched Mago sucking on a frosting tube’s tip.

“and how are you going to do that” he asked challengingly, suddenly interested in what Mago was up to.

“I am learning some mafia things ya know………in the basement, I learned about weapons and other torture materials….” Mago whispered like a secret and Mickey got intrigued.

What on earth was Mago doing

“I will be a combat warrior and dangerous baby boy in no time” Mickey flicked Mago’s forehead as he shook his head.

Mago was always like this. He wasn’t the one to consider the outcomes, which can be dangerous, until they are after his ass.

“All I see is a small boy who is making a peach tart” Mickey sassed and Mago whined in return.

“I will share this with my boyfriend………he should know I can cook too” Mickey smiled at his soulmate’s goal and promised himself to protect that baby forever.

“but I think he will be interested in your peach more than this peach tart” Mickey wiggled his brows with a naughty smirk.

Mago gasped bashfully and picked a whisk from beside him.

Mickey dashed out of the dining room with Mago hot on his heels.

“come here you asshole!!” Mago shouted with a giggle while his face heated up.

And that was the reason that Mickey has to be present in his life……along with the king now.

……….

Toodles!!!!
