In that very early morning, the black Jeep sped up on the empty road, where the two sides of the road was the forests. The road was still dark, the sun is still too lazy to show up behind the horizon. The Jeep's headlamps led the two people who are sitting inside it.The silent surrounded them, their face as stiff as their lips that closed tightly.

The man on the passenger seat glanced at the driver who has stiffness more. His hands gripped on the steering wheel tightly until his knuckles turn white. The man on the passenger seat touched the driver's shoulder carefully.At that time, the driver took a side glance at him.

"Be calm..." Zhan said.

"We're going there is not to fulfil his last wish! But to stop his over confident! He's too much! I can't believe that I idolized him once!" said Yibo, snarling.

Zhan gulped his saliva.

"You think! Why does he want you to come over, too? If he wants to see me for the last time, he won't ask you, too! He saw you multiple times for past ten months when he's in jail!" Yibo added.

Zhan didn't answer. He put his hand down from Yibo's shoulder, but Yibo grabbed it and pulled back to his shoulder. Zhan stared at the Captain.

"You're supposed to stay at home! I know he has no good intention by involving you!" said Yibo, glancing at the boy.

"Maybe... He's sorry. Maybe, he wants to apologize fo..." zhan stopped because Yibo shouting.

"Apologize? Bullshit!!" shouted Yibo, startled Zhan. He let go his hold on Zhan's hand and back holding the wheel.

Zhan looked at the Captain.

"He's a pure Psychopath, Zhan! He isn't sorry for killing those women who did nothing to him. Why would he sorry to me? To us!" 

"But he loves you," said Zhan.

"Stop defending him! He's a killer! A cold blooded killer! There is no love in a cold blooded killer, Zhan! You have to know that! Their tears, their sorry are all fake! They can shed a tear in a second, and they will laugh in another second. You can't trust a mentally-sick people, Zhan! You have to learn about that! They only care about themselves and have will happy control on everyone! Do not fall under his control,Zhan! That's why I was upset when I found out that you visited him in the jail!"

Zhan silent. If he was a girl, he must gonna cry. Yibo is a stern person, but he always treat him gently and fondly.Even when he was angry with him, he would never shout so hard like he did now.

"I'm sorry...." Yibo sighed when he found the boy was silent. He took Zhan's hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it. He turned to Zhan for a second and back to focus on the road that started to bright with the sunrise that slowly wiggles out behind the horizon.

Zhan looked at the side of the Captain's face.

"I just can't bear to lose you. I don't want you to get into his trap...!" Yibo continued.

"No," Zhan shook his head. Then he continued, "You're right. I'm still to raw in this case. So, I hope you'll lead me...!"

Yibo glanced at the boy, then he makes a small nod.

An hour later, the car arrived in front of the high wall, secured by the sharp wire that sometimes make some electrical sounds. Two guards came approaching theyn with the machine gun in their hands, stay alert. One of them crouched down the rolled down window.

"Captain Wang YIbo," said Yibo, showing his identity card to the guard.

"And who's that man?" asked the guard after checking the identity.
