Jennie

Nichkhun knew for certain that being in the house was causing Lisa to remember things, he was smart enough to know that once Lisa regains her memories, it would be his downfall. So Nichkhun hatched this plan of giving us a change of scenery, so Lisa would be distracted.

Love ran towards us, galloping like a horse. I laughed at him, while waving. "We'll see you soon, sweet boy."

The car drove through the gates, which closed behind us, trapping Love on the other side. The 'M' emblems on the gates glinted in the moonlight. Love continuously pawed at the gate.

I turned to face the front and placed my head on Lisa's shoulder, with my arm linked around hers. "Your brother is strange, you know."

"Which one?"

I laughed. We laced our fingers together and then interlocked them.

"I had the most bizarre thought. If I say it, you wouldn't think of me as stupid, right?"

"Nothing you say is stupid, Jen." Lisa promised me.

"What if we took this trip and disappeared?" I asked her.

She looked at me in confusion. "I don't... I don't understand, Jen."

I drew circles over her pants with my finger. "I mean... we could land in Paris and then..." I looked at the chauffeur at the front and lowered my voice down, "... and we could book another flight... somewhere far away... go to another country where no one can find us."

Lisa kissed my cheek, "I would have liked that... very much. But... we can't leave Bambam there alone."

My heart sank. How could I have forgotten about him?

"Yes, you're right. It was foolish of me to think that."

Foolish and selfish.

A few minutes passed, and I noticed the driver had taken another exit on the freeway, the exit that wasn't supposed to take us to the airport.

"Isn't this the wrong way?" I asked the chauffeur, Austin.

He didn't answer me. I turned to Lisa and asked her, "Do these private planes owned by your family have a different airport?"

Lisa shook her head. "It's the usual one. We just have an.... an exclusive route of boarding the plane, no queues or other rules and... and they check the baggage and we only have to board. The servants... they take care of everything else."

Lisa stared at the front seat, "Austin, that's not the way... where are you taking us?"

"I apologise Ms. Manoban. I have specific orders from your brother." He said, "Your brother promised me that he'd make sure my children would go to the best universities. He's going to give my family a lot of money... the kind that I can never earn, even I were to be reborn ten more times. I'm truly sorry, Ms. Manoban..." the man sobbed, "I don't want to do this to you but I can't afford to be fired."

The car zoomed forward onto the road in a dangerous speed. The road was narrow and surrounded by thick woodlands. He'd brought us here on purpose.

"Stop the car!" I yelled at him.

"I'm not doing anything, Mrs. Manoban." He took his foot off the accelerator, showing me that the brakes weren't working anymore. "The car has a timer fixed onto it. It will blow up at the right time."

We weren't going to Paris.

Nichkhun was sending us straight to our deaths.

'Let Lisa and me be at peace.' I recalled telling him.

'Consider it done. When you're back, we'll get the anklet tracker removed. It's a promise.'

We were going to be at peace, maybe somewhere in heaven, he'd meant, and of course, I was going to have my anklet tracker removed.

A dead body won't need a tracker.
