The Realist guy here period
This is part of the original plot and time line. The last surprise will happen at the end. Sarn, it is not what you think. This can mean one or two things. :rockon: :yes:
The rundown building was tucked away in an alley in the industrial part of town where it wouldn’t draw attention from authority. It was as if they had converted an old factory into an underground clinic with boarded up windows on the backside of the building. Bushes and shrubs were overgrowing around it and there were litters on the side street. The inside of the building was lightly furnished and there were only a few modern equipment in the operating room.
“Quickly, shouted Chaos. “Get her inside the clinic as we don’t have that much time.”
“How can I help you today?” said Dr. Xi, as he came out to meet Chaos.
“The same thing as we discussed on the phone,” smile Chaos.
“You do know this is a dangerous procedure,” said Dr. Xi.
Chaos looked over his shoulder and headed inside with Dr. Xi. “How much do you want? 20? 50 US?”
“Her life could be in danger.” Dr. Xi looking at his medical chart. “What if she dies? I don’t want to take that risk.”
“Look doc,” said Chaos. “My men will dispose of the body. It wouldn’t fall on you I promise.”
Chaos looks nervous and edgy as he knows Frank and Wang Luofuo could come any moment now. “Now, can you please start the procedure?”
“What’s the rush? The help of that young lady is very important,” said Dr. Xin.
Chaos quickly open the door to the operating room for the doctor as he begins to examine Kate. Dr. Xin asked Chaos to leave the room as he and his nurse begins the operation. Even though, Dr. Xin had accepted the payment made by Chaos, he was going to do everything in his power to keep her safe and secure. Kate was young, beautiful, and she had a bright future ahead of herself.
Frank and his men drove back and forth on Taibai Road before realizing that the limo they were looking for was parked inside an alley. As Frank and men made their way inside the alley, they were met with a hail of bullets flying at them as they were spotted the minute they walked into the alley. Gun shots rang rained back and forth as neither side was gaining ground in the battle.
“What’s going on outside?” shouted Dr. Xi. “We gotta reschedule. The police will be coming here soon.”
“Keep going,” said Chaos. “I’ll take care what’s going on outside.”
While Chaos went out the front door to reinforce his men in starving out an attack from Frank and his men, the Lintao entered the back entrance of the clinic as they have watched the conflict unfolded at the hotel. They were waiting just for the right opportunity to rescue Kate and this time to take advance of the conflict at the front of the clinic.
One by one, the Lintao tied up the three nurses by the back door and they edge closer to the operation room where Kate was having the procedure. Billy kicked out the door and shouted,
“Put your hands up where I can see that. Any sudden moment and I’ll blast the both of you.”
Dr. Xin was petrified as he thought the police had raided his clinic. “Don’t shoot. I was coerced.”
“Shut up and both of you lay on the ground, “shouted Billy, as his wife delivers knockout blows to the nurse and Dr. Xin.
The fighting was intense outside but neither side was gaining ground and they bunkered down for a long battle. With the fighting at a stalemate, Chaos quickly went back inside the clinic to see if the procedure was completed or not. He called twice to Dr. Xin but did not get a response so he barged into
the room. The doctor and nurse was on the ground unconscious and Kate was nowhere to be seen.
“Doc, what happened?” said Chaos, as he tries to revive Dr. Xin before splashing him with a cup of water.
Dr. Xin was still woozy from the chop to the back of the head by Billy’s wife. “They took her.”
“Who are they? Where did they come from?”
Dr. Xin pointed at the back entrance. “There. Two mask bandits.”
“Was it done?” asked Chaos, as he kicks the garbage can outside the door. “Is it secure?”
“Yes,” said Dr. Xin. “She should fully recover.”
Chaos lets out an evil grin. “Excellent.”

The police sirens could be heard in the distance as Frank and his men made their way out of the alley. A sense of disappointment came over Frank as he and his men made their way back to Wang Luofuo’s compound. He did his best to save Kate but his best was not good enough today. Various thoughts played inside his head. What were they doing to Kate in the clinic? What was Chaos up to? Where is Kate now?
“Where’s Kate?” asked Wang Luofuo.
“She’s still with Chaos. He did something to her,” said Frank. “We just don’t know what exactly was done.”
Wang Luofuo slams his fist on his desk. “You’ll pay for this. I will get my hands on you Chaos.”
“Send out all of our men to search the whereabouts of Chaos and his men.”
“Hey Wang,” said Frank. “You might want to check what’s on the news.”
It was all over the local news channels that Wang Luofuo was embezzling and money laundering from his underground casino into his real estate company. The reporter stated that Wang used the money from the casino to help built his empire of various condos throughout Shenzhen and Guangdong. There were also a number of documents that the reporter held in his hands accusing Wang’s company of being a loan shark.
Outside the gate of the compound, a large contingent of reporters have gathered to seek comments from Wang Luofuo. A number of photographers were lined up from a distance snapping pictures of every inch of the compound. It was like a circus outside and Wang Luofuo bad dream had turned into a nightmare. Wang Luofuo got on the phone and to seek legal counsel from his lawyer.
“Charles, you gotta get me out of this mess,” said Wang.
“I’ll do my best,” said Charles.
Peeking out the window. “Damn it, you better. Look at all those reporters.”
“Do not talk to any of the reporters. Instruct them to contact me only.”
Wang Luofuo gave all of Charles’ business cards to Frank so he can distribute them to the news reporters outside. “I’m going to be releasing a press statement on your behalf in about two hours, said Charles.
“What about the police?” asked Wang Luofuo. “I can’t go to prison now. Kate is still missing.”
“Don’t speak to them either,” said Charles. “They’ll contact me first before speaking to you.”
A whirlwind of emotions came over Wang Luofuo. Is this the end of his empire? Will he go to prison? Will he see Kate again? Where is Chaos so he can kick his ass for leaking all of this information to the press? Wang Luofuo was a prisoner in his own home and he wasn’t going to wait for the police to issue a warrant for his arrest. Some way somehow, he wasn’t going to have to sneak out of the compound without being notices by the press outside.
The next day, a drowsy Kate woke up on a private flight heading to the Midwest of the United States. She had been asleep for 5 hours and Kate could feel some soreness coming from her abdominal area. The soft throbbing pain ran down her abdominal to her vaginal area. It was as if somebody had done something to her lower body but she doesn’t know what.
“Take it easy there,” said Billy Lintao. “Everything will be just right.”
“Who are you two? How did I get here?” she cried. Kate curled up in a ball in great terror. “The two of you are with chaos.”
“Actually, we’re with your Uncle Jin,” said Jen Lintao. “Once, we reach the mainland. We’ll get you check out.”
Jen Lintao walked over to comfort Kate and reassure her everything is under control.
“What about my father?” asked Kate. “He’s probably worrying to death about me.”
Billy reluctantly handed her an IPad and on the front page of the local news in Shenzhen was a picture of her father being accused of money laundering and operating an illegal casino. Kate instantly knew it was the handy work of Chaos but she was powerless to stop the media circus that was going to engulf her father. In addition, Kate also knows that her father would do his best to flee from the authority as the case against him was very strong.
“Can I call my father?” said Kate. “I just want him to know that I’m safe.”
Billy thought about it for a second but finally said, “Not right now. We don’t want the authority to know your whereabouts. It’s best you keep quiet.”
“Where’s Kate?” asked Wang Luofuo.
“She’s still with Chaos. He did something to her,” said Frank. “We just don’t know what exactly was done.”
Wang Luofuo slams his fist on his desk. “You’ll pay for this. I will get my hands on you Chaos.”
“Send out all of our men to search the whereabouts of Chaos and his men.”

Gotta find out at the end. I can't reveal it. It goes with what Chaos is trying to do in this whole novel. Tim did have a vision inside the cave with the Taoist.Bieluvr said:
Green, yellow, orange, and red foliage dotted the Wisconsin landscape as autumn was officially underway. The sea of golden and red leaves was a great sight to see. It was as if Tim and Brianna was walking through their own version of Alice in Wonderland. The air was crisp and squirrels could be seen gathering their acorns for the long winter months ahead. Tim, Brianna, and the gang were safe and sound as they made flew from Phuket to Oak Creek. Life in Wisconsin was tranquil and peaceful compare to the hectic and fast pace lifestyle that they had to endure in various cities that they’ve visited this past summer.
“How do you like it here?” said Tim, as he put he put his windbreaker cover Brianna’s shoulder. “I know it’s not what you’re used to.”
“It’s very refreshing,” she smiled. “It reminds me of the Irish country side. People are more laid back.”
Tim was delighted that she felt that way. Even though, Tim enjoyed the city, it was something about nature that captivated him since he was a child.
“Yes, we are very laid back in Wisconsin. We love our cheese, brats, beers, and the Packers.”
“Who are the Packers?” she asked.
There was a sparkle in his eyes. “I gotta take you to Green Bay then you can see for yourself. This is our version of the EPL.”
Tim flipped through his phone to show Brianna America’s beautiful game – football.
“Oh,” said Tim. “You gotta try the brats here. Especially the beer brats, they are to die for.”
The two of them continued to walk through the woods until they’ve reached a patch of trees standing side by side in columns. Branches from each
columns reached towards each other as they created a majestic walkway with golden leaves lining the ground. Tim was ready for the special occasion as he got Connor and his mom’s blessing to ask Brianna for her hand in marriage.
“Close your eyes for a second,” Tim whispered to Brianna. “I wanna give you something.”
He held her hands firmly and got on his knees. “A Leprechaun told me to give this to you.”
Tim gently and softly placed the ring into the palm of her hands as Brianna opened up her eyes to a beautiful diamond ring that was sparkling in the sunlight. It was breath taking a moment and the special occasion felt like heaven was raining down its blessing on them. The columns of trees created a narrow pathway before reaching a wooden wagon decorated with Aster, Goldenrod, Perennial sunflower, and Helenium flowers.
“Our love should be like this small pathway,” smile Tim. “I wanna grow old with you. Through thick and thin. For rich or poor. And through all of the stormy weathers.”
Tim places her hands on his heart. “Now, would you make me the luckiest guy in the world?”
Brianna was teary eyed. Her heart begun to beat at a rapid pace and she almost couldn’t compose herself. “Are you ready for all my faults? My imperfections? My jealousy? And are you ready to take me as I am?”
Tim slowly got up and wraps his arms around Brianna. “If I have to travel the seven seas. And if I have to break through the castle walls. I will be there with you until my last breath in this world.”
Brianna was not sure that Tim was truly that special guy for her. Tim was not just her lover, her friend, but he was her soulmate. “Then it would be my pleasure to accompany you for the rest of your life.”
Tim was so ecstatic. It was as if he had just hit the jackpot and his prize was his fiancé Brianna. Tim swung her round and round in the air as a great joy and happiness circulated through his whole body.
“Hold on. I gotta another surprise for ya,” said Tim, as he pulls her towards the horse drawn wagon.
“Is that what I think it is?” said Brianna.
“Yup,” smiling brightly Tim. “Meet our guide. He’s going to be guiding her wagon ride through the trails.”
“Nice to you madam,” said the guide. “You’re one lucky lady. We’re got everything ready to go.”
Unbeknown to Brianna, Tim had secretly booked a weekend getaway in a remote cabin in the Northwestern part of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Dells was known to have a large number of attractions including the largest indoor and outdoor waterparks in the US. But Tim was interested in all of as he just wanted to spend quality time with Brianna cruising down the Wisconsin River.
Back in Oak Creek, Uncle Jin had to ship Fernando and Ayumi off before the Lintao could bring Kate. It was in Kate’s best interest that Fernando was off in Chicago spending the weekend there with Ayumi. The Navy Pier, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, and Lincoln Park Zoo were a couple of attractions that Ayumi wanted to check out.
“You two be safe down there,” said Uncle Jin. “Eat lots of food for me.”
“Benny, Lei. Ya better watch my uncle,” said Fernando. “I want to enjoy my weekend with my love without having to stress out.”

After Fernando and Ayumi have left for their rendezvous in Chicago, Uncle Jin, Lei, and Benny rushed to Mitchell International airport to pick up Kate. The Lintao and Kate had been waiting patiently for an hour before Uncle Jin’s arrival. They all looked worn out, tired, but were in good spirit.
“How are you feeling?” asked Uncle Jin. “Do you have a fever? Any aches or pains?”
“I’m fine Uncle,” replied Kate. “I’m just a little tired and sleepy that’s all.”
“You can rest later,” said Uncle Jin, as he instructed Benny and Lei to stack the luggage in the back of the van. “But first, we gotta get you checked
out.”
“Seriously Uncle, I’m fine.”
“Your health and well-being is more important to me.”
The van made its way to Uncle Chai’s house where the Lintao would be staying for the next two weeks. They Lintao unpackaged their bags and waved goodbyes to the van as jubilant Uncle Chai came out to greet them. Uncle Chai hasn’t seen them since the 1980’s so it was joyful reunion. Seeing his friends in tears due to their happiness made Uncle Jin wanted to join them but Kate was his first priority now.
They made their way to a mid-size but modern hospital in South Milwaukee where Kate would receive a full and comprehensive exam from highly trained nurses and doctors. Kate would be put through a series of tests to make sure she is fit and health and that nothing was wrong with her.
“Go on,” said Uncle Jin, as he did his best to comfort Kate as she went with the nurse for her physical exam.
“Have you taken any prescribed drugs? Any illegal substance?” asked the nurse.
Kate just shook her head to the multitude of questions that came her way.
“We’ll need a urine sample,” said the nurse. “Then we’ll have you take a CT scan.”
“I don’t think I took any illegal substance,” said Kate.
The nurse smiled. “Oh no, this is just routine. It could also reveal if you’re pregnant too.”
Kate begun to tense up. The thought of carrying Chaos’ baby was not something she would not even wished upon her enemies. It’s a fate that would surely crush her spirit if Kate was pregnant with Chaos’ child.
The nurse led Kate to a room where a technician was waiting to take her CT scans. Kate was handed a hospital gown to change into before undergoing the scan.
“Don’t worry,” smiled the technician. “We’ll take good care of you. There is nothing to worry about.”
Kate gently laid down on the bed as it slowly took her inside the arc. “Will this hurt?” said Kate.
“Not one bit,” said the specialist.
The CT scanner then emits a series of narrow beams through Kate’s body as it scanned from her head down to her toe for any anomaly. Red lasers beamed back and forth as it scans layers and layers of her body. The whole procedure was a breeze and Kate was discharged to the waiting arm of Uncle Jin.
“How long before we get the results?” asked Uncle Jin.
Handing paper works for Uncle Jin to sign, the doctor said, “In a couple of days. At the moment, I don’t see anything wrong with her.”
Uncle Jin was relief but he was not going to celebrate until the results are in. In the meantime, he has to find a place for Kate to stay because if Fernando finds out, he might blow a gasket on her. Where can he take her Uncle Jin thought to himself? He was running out of option but then it hits him. The perfect location was at Tim’s house where there were plenty of room and where Kate would be out of sight from Fernando.
“Hi Sue. I would like to introduce my niece,” said Uncle Jin. “I was wondering if she could stay with you for a week or so?”
“I didn’t know you had a niece,” said Tim’s mom.
Uncle Jin rolled forward to give her a hug. “She’s my long lost niece.”
Tim’s mom was excited as her household was adding another member. “I can’t wait to tell Tim and Brianna about Kate.”
“Um…I don’t think I should stay here, said Kate, as she was ashamed to ever face Tim and Brianna ever again. “I don’t want to cause any more misunderstanding between them.”
“How are you feeling?” asked Uncle Jin. “Do you have a fever? Any aches or pains?”
“I’m fine Uncle,” replied Kate. “I’m just a little tired and sleepy that’s all.”
“You can rest later,” said Uncle Jin, as he instructed Benny and Lei to stack the luggage in the back of the van. “But first, we gotta get you checked

Bieluvr, I'm taking a break from my Confession thread so I can concentrate on finishing this thread very soon.
“Um…I don’t think I should stay here, said Kate, as she was ashamed to ever show her to face Tim and Brianna ever again. “I don’t want to cause any more misunderstanding between them.”
“Non-sense,” exclaimed Sue. “You’re my guest now. If they don’t like it, they could live with Connor at his new condo downtown.”
“I…I’ve costed a lot of heartache,” cried Kate. “I can understand if they don’t forgive me.”
Sue walks over to Kate and then gave her a hug. “No one is perfect. We are all infallible.” Sue was a deeply religious woman and she has always tried to instill in Tim a moral code of ethics. “GOD has forgiven Tim and I’m know he can forgive you.”
“Child,” said Uncle Jin. “You can call me any time if they’re bullying you.”
“No gonna happen under my watch,” said Sue. “We’ll be like one happy family.”
Kate reluctantly agrees to Uncle Jin’s proposal to stay at Sue’s house. All she wanted to do was get some rest after her long flight from Hong Kong to Oak Creek. Eventually, she would to deal with her fear of facing Brianna and Tim but Kate was more concern about the whereabouts of her father. Before leaving Kate, Uncle Jin handed her a brand new phone and her own phone so she could transfer all of her pictures and files.
Uncle Jin padded her on the hands, “Get some rest. I’ll let you know what’s up with those scans in a few day.”
Inside the house, Kate felt lonely and lost. Her emotions and feelings were like the cold brisk breeze of the autumn winds outside. Kate appeared to take everything in stride on the outside but on the inside, the winter clouds has taken over her sunny sky. The warm pictures of Tim, Sue, and Tim’s sister reminded that family is very important to the well-being of a person. Tim and his family were the very essence of a Midwestern family as they were tight knitted and hardworking people.
“That’s the medal he won at the science fair,” said Sue as she bought it down from the wall to show it to Kate. “It took him four weeks to complete his ant farm experiment.”
“And over here.” Sue flipping through Tim’s high school yearbook. “You can see my chubby little boy competing at a Chess tournament.” It didn’t matter where Tim was, Tim was always going to be her little boy as she brimming with joy on her face.
Kate was almost bought to tears seeing how much sue loved Tim. When she was in elementary and middle school, Wang Luofuo barely attended any of the important functions at Kate’s school. He was a no show most of the time as Kate’s mother would always be there. But Kate finally understand why because her grandfather was grooming her father to be the leader of the Red Dragon.
“Take heart,” said Sue. “Better days will come for you. You just gotta have faith that it will.”
Sue escorted Kate to her bright neon green room which previously belonged to Tim’s sister. Sitting on the wood craved bed, Kate turned on the TV and up came an infomercial that Chaos was featured in.
“If you have low testosterone,” we can help, said Chaos, as he walking around a laboratory. “Our experts here are here to help.”
Kate shook her head in disgust. “You only wanted to help yourself. You selfish pig.”
Chaos was then accompany by a super built man in his late 40’s. “If we can help this man, imagine what we can do for you.”
“See how strong he is,” as Chaos watches the man do a number of pushups. “So call now, we are giving out free samples to the next 500 callers.”
In the top corner of the infomercial, Kate could spot Hydra and Slash in their human disguises. Hydra was dressed up in gym clothes with exotic blue highlights in her hair while Slash was one of the guys lifting in the background.
“I will end your evil plans even if I loses my life,” said Kate. “You won’t be bringing any more creatures from the other side.”
With one hand on the remote, Kate dialed her father’s number but the number was disconnected. Where are you father she thought to herself. Then she gave Frank last known number a try. It rang once, it rang twice, and finally for a third time. Just as Kate was about to hang up, Frank said, “Hello. Hello. Who is this?”
“How’s my father?” said Kate.
“Kate, is that you?” said Frank, as a rush of excitement came over him. “Where are you? Is Chaos still holding you? How are you doing?”
“Relax,” she said. “I’m stay with Uncle Jin.”
“Wang,” shouted Frank. “Kate’s on the line. She with Tim and Fernando.”
A great sense of joy and relief rained down Wang Luofuo’s face. He was now a fugitive on the run from the law. His lawyer tried to persuade him from jumping bond but Wang knew he was at least going to serve ten years in prison for his crimes.
“Honey, where are you? I wanna come pick you up,” said a teary eye Wang Luofuo.
“I’m in good hands. Where are you?” said Kate.
“We’ve lost everything. Our company. Money in our bank accounts. Our condos.”
“Father but we still have each other.”
“But it’s not the same. We’ve lost millions,” said Wang Luofuo, as he looks out the window in his condo in Vancouver. “Luckily, my Swiss bank account came in handy.”
“Why can’t be just be a normal family?” asked Kate.
Wang Luofuo cocking a gun in one hand. “As long as Chaos is a live, I can never be at peace.”
“But father…?”
“My sweet daughter,” said Wang, as he looks at her picture in his wallet. “Between himself and I, one of us will surely die.”
“Um…I don’t think I should stay here, said Kate, as she was ashamed to ever show her to face Tim and Brianna ever again. “I don’t want to cause any more misunderstanding between them.”
“Non-sense,” exclaimed Sue. “You’re my guest now. If they don’t like it, they could live with Connor at his new condo downtown.”
“I…I’ve costed a lot of heartache,” cried Kate. “I can understand if they don’t forgive me.”
Sue walks over to Kate and then gave her a hug. “No one is perfect. We are all infallible.” Sue was a deeply religious woman and she has always tried to instill in Tim a moral code of ethics. “GOD has forgiven Tim and I’m know he can forgive you.”
“Child,” said Uncle Jin. “You can call me any time if they’re bullying you.”
“No gonna happen under my watch,” said Sue. “We’ll be like one happy family.”
Kate reluctantly agrees to Uncle Jin’s proposal to stay at Sue’s house. All she wanted to do was get some rest after her long flight from Hong Kong to Oak Creek. Eventually, she would to deal with her fear of facing Brianna and Tim but Kate was more concern about the whereabouts of her father. Before leaving Kate, Uncle Jin handed her a brand new phone and her own phone so she could transfer all of her pictures and files.
Uncle Jin padded her on the hands, “Get some rest. I’ll let you know what’s up with those scans in a few day.”
Inside the house, Kate felt lonely and lost. Her emotions and feelings were like the cold brisk breeze of the autumn winds outside. Kate appeared to take everything in stride on the outside but on the inside, the winter clouds has taken over her sunny sky. The warm pictures of Tim, Sue, and Tim’s sister reminded that family is very important to the well-being of a person. Tim and his family were the very essence of a Midwestern family as they were tight knitted and hardworking people.
“That’s the medal he won at the science fair,” said Sue as she bought it down from the wall to show it to Kate. “It took him four weeks to complete his ant farm experiment.”
“And over here.” Sue flipping through Tim’s high school yearbook. “You can see my chubby little boy competing at a Chess tournament.” It didn’t matter where Tim was, Tim was always going to be her little boy as she brimming with joy on her face.
Kate was almost bought to tears seeing how much sue loved Tim. When she was in elementary and middle school, Wang Luofuo barely attended any of the important functions at Kate’s school. He was a no show most of the time as Kate’s mother would always be there. But Kate finally understand why because her grandfather was grooming her father to be the leader of the Red Dragon.
“Take heart,” said Sue. “Better days will come for you. You just gotta have faith that it will.”
Sue escorted Kate to her bright neon green room which previously belonged to Tim’s sister. Sitting on the wood craved bed, Kate turned on the TV and up came an infomercial that Chaos was featured in.
“If you have low testosterone,” we can help, said Chaos, as he walking around a laboratory. “Our experts here are here to help.”
Kate shook her head in disgust. “You only wanted to help yourself. You selfish pig.”
Chaos was then accompany by a super built man in his late 40’s. “If we can help this man, imagine what we can do for you.”
“See how strong he is,” as Chaos watches the man do a number of pushups. “So call now, we are giving out free samples to the next 500 callers.”
In the top corner of the infomercial, Kate could spot Hydra and Slash in their human disguises. Hydra was dressed up in gym clothes with exotic blue highlights in her hair while Slash was one of the guys lifting in the background.
“I will end your evil plans even if I loses my life,” said Kate. “You won’t be bringing any more creatures from the other side.”
With one hand on the remote, Kate dialed her father’s number but the number was disconnected. Where are you father she thought to herself. Then she gave Frank last known number a try. It rang once, it rang twice, and finally for a third time. Just as Kate was about to hang up, Frank said, “Hello. Hello. Who is this?”

Bieluvr, one surpise is coming and another will come at the end. It will flip the story upside down. I don't think anyone has come out with that kind of ending yet.
“But it’s not the same. We’ve lost millions,” said Wang Luofuo, as he looks out the window in his condo in Vancouver. “Luckily, my Swiss bank account came in handy.”
“Why can’t be just be a normal family?” asked Kate.
Wang Luofuo cocking a gun in one hand. “As long as Chaos is a live, I can never be at peace.”
“But father…?”
“My sweet daughter,” said Wang, as he looks at her picture in his wallet. “Between him and me, one of us will surely die.”
Kate was deeply concerned about Wang Luofuo going after Chaos because in her heart, Kate knows that he might be going into a
trap. “How do you know where he is?”
“Honey, have you seen those stupid infomercial of his on TV lately? Wang took his tablet out and did a search online. “Why am I not surprised?” he grinned. “He wanna like Facebook and Google. Cuz that is where his corp is located at.”
“Let me come too,” begged Kate. “I wanna be by your side when it all said and done.”
“My sweet Kate, said Wang. “Everyone must die eventually. If it is my time then it’s my time.”
Wang Luofuo opening up his email. “Honey, please check your email now.”
Kate slowly and methodically read his request if he was to die. Wang Luofuo wanted to be buried next to Kate’s mom in England and the funeral should just consist of family members only. “What about the attached file?”
“Promise me, you won’t read it?”
“I promise father.”
The memories of that fateful night in Brazil started flashing back and forth in Wang’s mind. It was very vivid just like he was there yesterday. To Wang, it was all a bad dream and the event that led to Gordon’s death was an accident. It was a crime of passion and it was something Wang wished never happened. “Only your Uncle Jin is allow to read the document.”
“What’s so important that you’re hiding it from me?” said Kate.
“In time you will understand. In time,” said Wang, as the tears started rolling down his face. “Fernando will too.”
An avalanche of emotions begun to engulf her whole body as Kate hung up the phone. Those raw emotions were deeply troubling and Kate felt as if she was buried under an enormous amount of snow. It was a crushing feeling that she could not escape as she sat down on her bed. But there was no time to wait as she knows her father and his men would be descending on Chaos’ headquarter in Silicon Valley. The only person Kate felt she could trust was Uncle Jin as he has always treated her like his real niece.
Uncle Jin was resting on the couch after a long and exhausting day of worrying about the well-being of Kate. It was a nice way of ending the day on a good note but his short rest about to be interrupted by Kate again.
“Yes, Kate,” said Uncle Jin. “Everything going well over there right?”
“Uncle, you gotta stop my father,” said kate in a panicking voice. “He gotta commit suicide and not know it.”
Uncle Jin grabs his reading glasses and started looking at news outlet online in China. “Calm down. Tell me what happened.”
“He gonna raid Chaos’ headquarter in Silicon Valley if we don’t stop him.”
“That fool just couldn’t stay still can’t he? He is a wanted fugitive in China. And now he wants to be a fugitive here, said Uncle Jin, as he shakes his head in disgust.
“What do you think I should? I wanna go help my father,” said Kate.
“Just let that fool go on his suicidal mission. I don’t want you to have anything to do with it. I forbid you to join him.”
Kate felt torn between her allegiances to her father but she didn’t want to hurt Uncle Jin any further. Then she remembered the word document that her father instructed her to give to Uncle Jin.
“Before he hung up, my father wanted to give you something.”
“What does he wants to give to me now?” asked Uncle Jin. “Cuz the last time he permanently paralyzed me from the waist down.”
Uncle Jin slowly opened the word document and he expected to find some mumbo jumbo from Wang Luofuo. And he expected Wang to ask him to take care of Kate in case he was to die in raiding Chaos’ headquarter. It was something else in the document that caught his eyes that could change everything that he knew about the two people he cared about the most. But he didn’t want to take the words from Wang Luofuo as it face value so he going to have to get some tests done to verify those claims.
“But it’s not the same. We’ve lost millions,” said Wang Luofuo, as he looks out the window in his condo in Vancouver. “Luckily, my Swiss bank account came in handy.”

Well, one secret has just be revealed or close to being revealed. Originally, I did not have this in my outline but I felt like this would add more meaning and add some intrigue into the story itself. This will definitely boost the story big time when I do write the second book to this titled "Rose." That would expand the universe and take it further that what we have here.
It was Sunday night when all of the gangs were home from their various destinations. Tim and Brianna were in a cheerful mood after their getaway in the great outdoor at Wisconsin Dells. While, Fernando and Ayumi were in a festive mood after returning from a heart to heart weekend excursion in Chicago. The four of them have been through a lot this year and they all thought that the past was behind them. But there was one thing that Uncle Jin had to uncover and he would need the help of Ayumi to unlock the mysterious claim by Wang Luofuo.
Uncle Jin slowly wheeled his wheelchair inside the kitchen where Ayumi was preparing food with Brianna. “Ayumi, Ayumi,” he whispered. “I need your help tonight.”
“Where is it Uncle?” said Ayumi.
“Shhhhhhh,” he said, as he waved for her to come closer. “I want you to rub these two buccal swab inside of Fernando’s mouth for me.”
Ayumi was puzzled. “What is it for?”
“It is to determine if Kate and Fernando are sibling?”
Ayumi’s mouth became wide opened and she was taken back by such a proposition from Uncle Jin.
“In time, we will all know the truth,” said Uncle Jin. “Now, you two keep quiet about this. Fernando must not know about any of this.”
It was all going to be up to Ayumi to get the sample from Fernando’s mouth. But that was easily said than done as Fernando would grow very suspicious of her. Ayumi thought far and wide about how she was going to accomplish her task. Then it dawned on her that all she had to do was tell him the truth or at least half a truth.
Ayumi was nervous and excited at the same time as Fernando came out of the shower later that night. “Honey, what if I wanted to know what if she carry the same inherit diseases. Would you be ok with that?”
“I don’t see why now,” replied Fernando. “Anything for you sweetie as long as it makes you happy.”
Ayumi was surprised at how cooperative he was.
“All I want is for you to be happy and for our child to be healthy,” smiled Fernando. “The rest is just icing on the cake.”
The next day, Benny went to the postal office to send out the samples to the lab so that DNA testing could be done on both Kate and Fernando. It would be three days before Uncle Jin find out about the results. Later that morning, Uncle Jin was informed by Dr. Allison that Kate’s CT scan did not find anything abnormal and that she was healthy as can be. Uncle Jin was relief and all of his worries were gone after hearing those words from the doctor. It was as if a huge burden had been lifted from Kate and he could live normally again.
At Sue’s house, it was an awkward encounter as Tim, Brianna, and Kate stared each other at the lunch table. The Papaya salad, the bamboo soup, and the bake chicken with brown rice was mouthwatering but the tense encounter in the room made it hard on everyone.
“Everyone eat up,” said Sue. “It’s bad to waste good food.”
Sue then passes the plates around to everyone. “Tim, please give thanks for the food.”
“Thank you lord for the food,” said Tim. “May we not encounter as more problems and live happily ever after. May you bless every one of us here.”
“So Kate, you used to work with Brianna is that right?” asked Sue.
Kate took a big gulp of water and spoke softly. “Yes, she was my boss.”
“What went wrong then?”
The room became silent and the two girls started looking at Tim. “Um…mommmm,” said Tim. “It’s a long story. Like one of those dramas with lots of episodes.”
“Yes mom, said Brianna. “The past is the past. Let just enjoy the future.”
Sue could tell that it was a love triangle between the three so she knew it would be painful for Kate if she continues to push it. “Ok. Anyone wants some lemonade?”
After lunch, the three of them headed to downtown Milwaukee to meet with Uncle Jin where he would reveal to Kate that there was nothing wrong with her. But what Tim, Uncle Jin and Brianna didn’t know was that Kate was planning on leaving with Frank later that night to meet up with her father in California before his raid on Chaos’ headquarter on Saturday.
“Can I talk to Tim for a few second?” Kate asked Brianna softly, as they were on a small cruise ship cruising around the Milwaukee harbor. “Don’t worry I won’t try to take him from you.” The big diamond ring on Brianna’s hand was a deep reminder that to Kate that their love for each other was very strong.
“Sure, why not,” replied Brianna. That was an aurora of confidence, humility, peace and deep love in Brianna’s eyes that Kate hasn’t seen before. It was as if Sue’s godly love had rubbed off onto Brianna these past few weeks.
Tim was at the front of the ship enjoying the autumn breeze as Kate came from behind to meet up. It felt like yesterday that they first met but the ending was not a happy one for Kate.
“She very lucky to have a guy like you,” said Kate.
Tim smiled and threw a small pebble into the lake. “Nah, I’m lucky to have her. I’ve been blessed by GOD that’s for sure.”
Tim padded her hands. “You’re find your lucky star one day. And you’ll make him the luckiest guy in the world.”
“But for me,” said Kate. “You’re always be in my heart. No matter where I am.”
Tim pointed at the waves hitting the rocky boulders on the shore. “Just like those waves touching those rocks. I will always appreciate the love that you have for me.”

Yes, we shares many qualities in life.sarN said:
Twists are what make stories interesting and keep readers guessing. The results does not tell the truth to what Chaos did to Kate. You'll find out when Tim and Fernando descends on Chaos' headquarter. That is the last surprise in here. It will be sweet and sad at the same time so be prepare. I see this ending by next weekend. I'm been a bit sick the last three or four days so I haven't be able to write much. The two of them continue to talk about life lessons and how love have touched both of their lives. It was a closure that Kate needed and it was important that she knows that Tim really cared about her well-being. She wanted to tell Tim that she was leaving with Frank that night but Kate knows that Uncle Jin would lock her up to prevent her from joining her father.
“If you have anything on your mind, you can always call me,” said Tim. “My line is always open and Brianna is cool with it.”
Kate just kept looking at the ground as she didn’t want to look Tim in the eyes knowing he would find out she was hiding something from him.
“Sure…yeah…thanks for great love towards me all of this time.”
Tim became suspicious of her but he didn’t know what was bothering her as Uncle Jin and Brianna came towards the front of the ship.
“I got some good news to tell ya,” smiled Uncle Jin. “Katy, there’s nothing wrong with you.” He was more relief than she was. “The doc gave you a clean bill of health.”
“Do you know when the other result is gonna come in?” asked Kate. “What was in that document that my father sent to you?”
“We won’t know about that until Wednesday?”
Tim was dumbfounded. What other tests could Kate be undergoing that he never heard about? “Wait, what test?”
Uncle Jin, Brianna, and Kate became unease as they did not want to tell Tim that Kate and Fernando could be real brother and sister. Their silence made Tim even more suspicious that the three of them were hiding something from him. “Does Fernando know? Or am I the only one in the dark?”
“You’ll find out Wednesday just like everyone,” said Uncle Jin. “No one knows for sure. It’s just mere speculation at the moment.”
Tim had a devious smile on his face. Someway, somehow, he was going to find out even if he had to walk between a rock and a hard place. But his balloon was quickly deflated by Uncle Jin. “And you’re going to keep quiet until Wednesday cuz this has to do with Fernando.”
“Ahhhhh…I understand,” Tim begrudgingly said.
The sunshine was a break from the cloudy overcast as Tim and Brianna walked to the back of the ship to get some drinks. In the distance, the white pure sail boat like structure of the Milwaukee Art Museum could be seen and the Summerfest ground was a few yards away.
“I wish we were here in the summer,” said Tim. “We were definitely be rocking at the Summerfest ground and at the state fair.”
Brianna taking a sip of her drink. “What we’re not going to be here next year?”
Tim’s eyes lightened up. “So you’re ok with staying here?”
“Off course. Wherever you are, I wanna be there.”
“Good, cuz, I need that perfect trophy wife,” Tim jokingly smiled.
“Oh yeah,” said Brianna. “I’m gonna need access to your Facebook and IG account then.”
“Honey, you ain’t gonna need that. I don’t have many friends on there any way. Tim pulls his phone out of his pocket. “See, I’ve only have 250,000 female friends on my IG.”
“What’s your password?” said Brianna snatches his phone from his hand.
Tim was going to have a little fun with her and he was going to test Brianna to see if she was paying attention to every little details about their love. “Try Diana, Kate, Donna. Or how about Brandy?”
“None of them works,” said Brianna. “Are you hiding something Mister?”
“Yup. I’m hiding my love from every other girls. Only a girl named Brianna will do.”
Brianna thought long and hard until she came to the realization that the password was her name. Tim was laughing in the background as she finally unlocked his phone. On Tim’s Facebook and IG page was nothing but pictures of Brianna in his background. She was the love of his life and this only confirm that she can totally trust him no matter what.
“Anything interesting,” smiled Tim. “You see that girl right there. She is very special to me.”
Brianna blushed and her heart was filled with warm tender love just like the first time they met.
“Honey, this Saturday is Halloween,” said Tim. “I think I’ll be a doctor.
“Oh really. Can I be a nurse then?” Replied Brianna.
Tim gentle brushes his hands on her hair. “Nah. You can be my patient. So I can take care that heart of yours.”
