MJA : Time Is Not Enough

Operation: Stealth (homebound)

Victor wanted to see Melanie Jayne again. He knew her name but he had to plan it as such that it didn't seem too obvious that he was seeking her. He had no idea how to find her. His only way to ever finding out more about her was to browse anything he can find in the fashion and tabloid magazines he can get his hands on. He had a phone but he had no idea how to fully utilize it to the extent of finding anyone else on it other than the contacts already saved into the phonebook. 

It was times like these when he really wished he had spent more time in the computer lab instead of just the library back in school. Victor was not great with technology and gadgets weren't his interest much. Not until the day he realized that he needed it to find someone who was famous online as well as in the media world. He was clueless but he was willing to learn. He just needed to find someone who was willing to teach him.

Sometimes, during breaks backstage, Victor would casually ask a co-worker or crew to assist him with his phone. He had to make sure that he was asking general questions such as social media or fashion industry instead of "How can I know more about a woman named Melanie Jayne Anderson?". Of course, if he knew at the time who Melanie Jayne really was, he wouldn't have had to go through all the trouble of asking around anyone about her.

Melanie Jayne, on the other hand, was already looking into Victor Keel's information online and from what Leo had been updating on his social media. She had a rough idea of who he was. She just couldn't find his personal social media page anywhere. It was strange considering the day and age but Victor Keel did not have any social media associations other than what Leo had been posting on his page. As much as she wanted to know more about him, Melanie Jayne didn't want to make it look too obvious that she was looking into Victor Keel too much. She was just a fan and she didn't know much about him. She just thought he was cute.

Andre was a little nervous about flying to an unknown destination without packing anything at all. If he had known he was about to get kidnapped by Victor and Jean that day, he would have at least packed up a day's worth of clothing and some toiletries for the trip. He was excited, nonetheless. He was definitely thrilled to be meeting Melanie Jayne again. He had been crying over her death for so long that he couldn't bring himself to ever speak of her ever again after the news broke. 

Victor was just happy to be flying back home to his wife and kids. He had been missing them so much even though he was constantly speaking to Melanie Jayne over the comms. Jean sat down with a computer, trying to figure out the next step to dealing with their kidnapped suspect in the back of the cabin. Sebastian and Takeshi were playing cards and drinking beer. They have asked Andre to join them while they were at it.

Seb: So......you and Mitsu.....I mean erm......Melanie Jayne were really good friends, huh?

Andre: Very. I was almost like the twin brother she never had. (laughs) I was so devastated when I heard the news........

Seb: Yeah? I can imagine. I mean, it was kinda extreme, I guess.......

Takeshi: It was a necessary measure. (looks at the table) Oh, it seems I have won again! (looks at Sebastian) That would be the second time you owe me money, Sebastian......... (laughs)

The airplane arrived at the private airport and everyone was taken onto a boat, headed to the island. Andre felt a sudden deja vu but he kept his cool. He's been having so much fun throughout his journey.

As the boat arrived at the docking bay, Melanie Jayne was seen waiting at the edge of the platform. She had a white summer dress on with a pair of sunglasses. Victor got off the boat and hugged Melanie Jayne.
