"So before we proceed, why don't you tell us your name. You already know ours," Kan pointed out. This was of course not exactly needed as he already knew her name from the very first day still, it was the normal protocol he had to follow.

"Keyla, just call me Keyla," she responded shyly.

"Nice name Keyla. You must already know we aren't here to cause trouble for you. We just want to help you out in any way we can. You see, we understand what it is like to be treated the way you were back then with no one stepping forward to even try to help. That feeling is the worst and we wouldn't want anyone else to feel the same way," Mendy said in such a cool tone that Kan yet again believed the Mendy must also be good with psychology with how he knew what and how to say things.

"Thank you again. And thank you Kan for picking me and getting me help that day. Didn't know what came over me and I acted stupid," Keyla acknowledged her past actions, showing gratitude to Kan for not turning his back on the situation then.

"Great, so I've got a few questions. Who are those guys and what do you have with them? If you don't mind telling us that is," Kan went swiftly into asking Keyla.

'No it's fine. I mean, it's not like anymore harm can be done that hasn't already. Although, what can you do for me?' Keyla thought as her eyes scanned the people in front of her. She hadn't seen both Kan and Mendy before. Even her sharp instincts felt strange about Mendy. However, there was something appealing about the way Kan spoke and his very presence that made her comfortable.

She felt like he was the one being the most honest and felt a lot safer with him.

What she didn't know however was that kan had pulled a few tricks up his sleeves to make sure Keyla concurred to their confrontation. He couldn't take any risk of her panicking and maybe calling for help or even going as far as exposing their very interest in what had happened to those group of boys.

'She looks like the loyal, master serving girl which is why I had turned on the pheromone skill right out of the gate before meeting her. Now I'm using it to calm her nerves and at least judge us from a better angle. However, whatever those group are, they probably has a lot of things on her or at least he holds some level of importance because I don't see how she is still in their mix!!' Kan accessed the situation before him.

Sighing in defeat, keyla began.

"They are called the Ebony kings, one of the three strongest gangs in the school. Their leader, Ralph, is my boyfriend. Well, at first that's what I thought he was but at the moment, the constant abuse from him makes me wonder if he even cares about me," the girl began.

"I see, so she's with the gang leader and she's being treated this way?!" Kan said to none other than Hela.

[Beats me. I mean,I personally believe women should be treated like eggs, you hold them close, carefully noturing them until well of course, you want to make toast!!] Hela replied. Kan couldn't have said it any better himself.

"Yeah, she's not exactly going to win any beauty contest but then again, she's on a league of her own. Look at her eyes, she looks so sad and I'm willing to bet that she thought going out with that guy would set her social life!" Kan was saying to Hela before he got brought back to the moment as Keyla was saying something still.

"I really don't know what to do. I love Ralph but the way he loves me back is ..painful!!" Keyla relayed her feelings right there in the secluded area. Over time, once in a while, Kan and Mendy would both look around to see if anyone was watching them. This act of course did not exactly go unnoticed by Keyla.

'Are they always going to be this vigilant or is it something else?!' Keyla wondered. But the next minute, she got startled as a figure walked into where they thought they'd be left undisturbed.

Right behind them all stood a figure that was somewhat imposing to Keyla as the moment this person entered, their eyes were completely fixed on Keyla and an intense aura seemed to have immediately consumed the place.

This person in question was Ellie who had made her way in. She was able to since she was in school the whole time and was in on the plan, watching and keeping tabs of the boy's movements. However, her presence was also a surprise to both Kan and Mendy as they had agreed she won't get involved, at least not yet.

"Hey, Ellie?" Mendy said, sounding feintly surprised but at the same time, he had given away the fact that he knew this person. Interestingly, Keyla knew Ellie as well because they were all second year students just not in the same class.

"Hey Mendy, hi baby!" Ellie responded, walking over to Kan and giving him a hug from behind all while her eyes remained on Keyla.

"Oh hii!" Kan replied but deep down, his eyes searched around for a hammer or something that he could use to bash Ellie's head into a nearby wall.

[This bitch just ruined your chances of ever hitting Keyla!!] Hela was quick to react as that was exactly what Kan was thinking as well. Even the aura emanating from Ellie's body was enough to make all the progress he had made to varnish completely in terms of getting Ellie comfortable and all.

"Hi, Elizabeth!" Keyla said, eyes fixed back on Ellie. But there was no response from Ellie which caused Kan and Mendy to both exchange glances.
