Cheers erupted and several of the men slammed the metal rods and weapons they brought along at the cars parked in the basement. Windscreens of the nearby cars were being smashed and sharpened stakes stabbed into the wheels of the parked vehicles.


3 bikes parked next to each other fell in a heap like dominos as the men advanced slowly towards us.

Rachel’s men kept pulling and tugging Rachel to go but she was screaming and cursing at Russell.


Rachel : HOW DARE YOU !!!! HOW DARE YOU… YOU PIECE OF SHIT…. YOU’LL REGRET THIS !!!… YOU HEAR ME…. YOU FUCK !!!

Rachel broke free and pushed her way to the front of the line, asking his men to call the cops.

Rachel : call the cops !! let them deal with this !

Russell laughed as he shook his head at Rachel naivety.

Russell : you really think…. We would do this…. Hahahahaha if we are not confident and assured that there will be no repercussions… ? hahhaa… you are too young and too naïve Rachel…. Hahaha

Russell’s arrogant tone did not sound like he was trying to pull a fast one.

Instead, he sounded exactly like someone who knew he have the backing, or rather the blessing of someone high up in the administration to do what he is doing.

Russell : No one will come….. no one will come to an industrial building known to be the headquarters of one of the few remaining triads in the country….. the roads are blocked…..there are fires across the street….. a collapsed ceiling in a school 2 streets away…..a bad accident jamming up the main junctions…..a 4 car accident in the expressway….. haha

Russell licked his lips and gestured for his men to bring him Rachel. It was then I noticed how he positioned his own men. They were slowly pulling back, allowing the foreigners to come to the front.

The ones he spoke to when he asked them to bring Rachel to him didn’t move at all. Instead they slowly shuffled further away from their foreign allies.

Russell : No one will come to your help Rachel… no one…..not even when you are screaming and moaning when I mount that young tight cunt of yours….. there is nothing you can do….


Rachel : then you couldn’t be more wrong Russell…. You come to my place….. spit on my turf…. You threaten me and my men……

Rachel started tying up her hair as she stared defiantly at Russell.

Rachel : Calling the cops was our one last act of mercy…

Russell : hahahhaa…. Empty threats little girl…. Just get ready to spread your legs hahahaha…..

Rachel : you want me !!! ? you want to fuck with the Rajahs ??!!! Come and get me… !!

Rachel turned and walked back into the lobby as his men tightened the ranks while Russell’s army advances.

I could not believe what was happening.

My fist was clenched so tight that my knuckles turned white. The foreigners took unsteady steps towards us, laughing and stabbing their weapons into the air as if taunting us to go to them.


Russell’s Malu Malu spread out towards the sides, keeping their distance from the foreigners while trying to get a piece of the action.

Hal : Jackson …. You should go…take the side entrance to the neighbour building….

Russell’s makeshift army outnumber the Rajahs in the carpark at least 3 to 1 with more arriving as time past , but there were no indications of any kind that the underdog is going to backdown.


As the attackers approached slowly, the Rajahs stood firm and closed ranks.

From a straight line, they reduced their occupied area, forming a semi circle around the lobby. The Rajahs at the back of the line quickly ran up the stairs in an orderly manner to make way for their friends still in the carpark.

The circle grew smaller and smaller and Russell’s men cheered, elated that they have the Rajahs on the run.
“ Oei !!!... Rajahs bo ji ah ( Rajahs are pussys )

“ Hooooo…. Run loh… Rajahs all running away loh…hahaha “

“ Booooo….. pussies… !!! hahahaa “

The taunts came from the malu malu while those speaking a foreign language just laugh hysterically without a care in the world. They’re definitely high on something.
Crazed Foreigners.

Perhaps a drug induced euphoria.

I backed into the lobby and the last Rajah in slid a key into the control of the automatic sliding glass door and it shut. Not that the thin piece of tempered glass is any help.

It will probably buy a few minutes at the most.

Several of the Rajahs remained in the lobby and they had already armed themselves with whatever they could get their hands on.
Fire extinguishers, trash cans, even the pots of palms.

One of them ripped out the notice board. Several of them brandished karambit knives from their pockets.
I left the basement and I came out on the ground floor and a frantic evacuation was taking place.


2 Rajahs remained by the staircase door after I left, looking in down at the situation below.

That staircase doesn’t go all the way up, it only serves the carpark. You would need to take another staircase to the roof.

Rachel was shouting instructions out to her men as sporadic fights and confrontation took place all over the main lobby.


Rachel : Get the staff out !! all of them…. ! check every floor !!!

From another staircase, I could see nervous and terrified office staff running out, many clutching their work bags and laptops.

About a dozen Rajahs were trying to get them out of the building. There’s even a heavily pregnant lady holding onto her water bottle being ushered out the lift by a Rajah that was already bleeding on his arm.

Rachel had removed her heels, walking around the ground floor barefooted and her brothers were by her side.

The main entrance may be a wreck of debris and mangled vehicles but it still offered a clear way out. Rachel insisted that the administrative staff be escorted out onto the main road.

Many of her men hesitated but she insisted.

Rachel : GO !.. do it…. Make sure they are safe… !! Henry !!! get them all out….

All of them were hesitant to leave their fellow brothers behind to face this catastrophe.

Rachel : Henry… !... go make sure they stay safe…. Get them off the alleys….


Henry : we’ll be back after we get them to the main roads… !

Rachel : No… no….don’t come back…..

Hal : Rachel ! we don’t have enough people to hold this place… !

Rachel : It’s enough…. We have enough…

Henry : I’m coming back !

Rachel : Henry ….!.... get to the schools….


The mere mention of the word school seemed to have struck something in the men’s head. A realisation that there is some place more important than the building we are in.

Rachel : The school and the care centre…..they’re all there when we work…. There are still kids there now….

Henry shouted in frustration as Hal told him to go.

Henry : Rachel…. You are coming with me…

Rachel : No…. i can’t leave…..i’m not leaving my men alone to deal with this….

She gave her Henry a tight hug before turning and walking back into the main lobby.
The 2 Rajahs by the basement door were trying to keep the door shut as the mob had long overwhelmed the Rajahs in the lobby.

They shouted a warning to the rest of us in the lobby.

“ The men in the basement are gone. ..! they’re all dead !!! “

The door is going to give way any moment now.


Rachel shouted without turning back to look at henry.

Rachel : Henry…. GO !!

Hal : We will be fine…. Go.. !!!


Henry shouted for his men to go as he struck a man sneaking up on them on the face before kneeing him so hard that he bent sideways and collapsed onto the ground.
If there is one thing that is clear with that order, is that Henry just left the building with more than a dozen men as they escorted the people out.

The door which I came out from the basement burst open and several cheering and shouting crazed foreigners ( CF ) ran out in search of the nearest targets.


One of them came at me and his wild swing fell far short of his target, I grabbed his arm, moved in closed and tripped him onto the ground before twisting the club out of his hands.

I was about to club him in his head when Rachel threw the metal cover of a dustbin onto his face before stomping down on him.
He stopped moving after that.

Rachel walked to the sculpture of the phoenix in the main lobby.
So did the other Rajahs upon seeing what their boss did.

The raw looking sculpture in the lobby serves more than just a decorative purpose. The jagged pieces of wood, rough metal and steel are positioned in such a manner that in times of need, they can be removed.
All of them reached for particular pieces of the sculpture as if they all knew all along which ones were not welded dead to it.

The Rajah Phoenix kept it’s overall form as it’s metal skin is stripped layer by layer, arming the men that now encircles it.
Wooden clubs with textured grips, angled iron bars, sharpened metal rods filled the hands of the Rajahs on the ground floor.
From the magnificent wings of the iron and copper wings of the phoenix came spade shaped knuckle duster. It’s like a grip with fucking iron on it. I can already imagine the pain one will be experiencing if you get punched with that.


With the sculpture stripped, one would expect to see a sorry looking mythical bird but that could not be further than the truth.

With the outer layer removed, it revealed a leaner and more slick Phoenix. What was originally a dormant looking Phoenix at rest is now transformed into a menacing looking beast.

Rachel : Rajahs !!! ………

With a commanding cry, Rachel split the Rajahs on the ground floor into 2, opening a clear path for the CFs running and charging towards her as she reached into the sculpture with her right hand.

There was a hiss of hydraulics and what sounded like the spit of venom from a angry hydra.

I saw the spark ignite at the mouth of the phoenix and was immediately hit by the heat wave from the column of flame that is shooting out from the Pheonix’s mouth


The heat was incredible, warming up the surrounding air. I felt as if I was transported back to Melbourne , standing in front of Crown Casino as balls of fire lit up the skies with the heat slamming into me.

Rachel directed the angle of the flame at the charging CFs, the short 3 second burst of flame singed the hair, eyebrows and skin of the first wave while sending the rest scurrying and scattering all over the ground floor.
The short burst of flame looked worse than it actually is.


The high temperature only lasted for a brief moment and this is not napalm nor is it dragon fire that would burn your enemy to a crisps.
It was meant to be a decorative spectacle display to impress guest, not as a weapon of mass destruction.
