Antonio’s lips twitched involuntarily at Jagoan’s audacious proposition. He clenched his jaw, masking his disbelief with a smile. “Alright, you’ve certainly got some nerve trying to shake down the Mafia!”

Intrigued, Jagoan quizzed, “Are you really with the Mafia?”

Antonio sneered, “What? You just witnessed it.”

With a flourish, he returned the thousand dollars to his wallet, casting a haughty glance at Jagoan. “Now that you know who I am, you can leave.”

Disdain dripped from Jagoan’s voice. “I haven’t even taken your money yet and you’re already showing me the door? Are you for real?”

Antonio ground his teeth. “Young man, if you squander this chance I’m giving you, don’t blame me!”

Turning to his henchmen, he commanded, “Put him in his place and then drive him out of here, far away. Hurry, our esteemed guest will arrive soon.”

Several of his men swiftly geared up and approached Jagoan.

Just then, sirens wailed and a fleet of police cars raced to the scene.

Once parked, over a dozen officers emerged from the vehicles. One of them approached Antonio, inquiring, “Antonio, we received a call about Mafia-related activity, crashes and fatalities. Can you fill us in on what happened?”

Antonio gave a slight smile, taken aback, then instinctively glanced at Jagoan.

Seizing the opportunity, Jagoan wore a wicked grin as he addressed the police, “Officer, one of their men ran me down. And not only did he evade responsibility, he even brandished a firearm at me.”
