Jane's pov


"Hey, don't tell me you didn't remember me?" A man asked.


"Yeah, right. How did that happen?" second man said?


"I—maybe she had a kind of what do you call that when a person didn't remember their identity?" third man replied.


"Do you have any amnesia???!!!" then they said in chorus.


I furrow my brow then adjust my eyes at the bright light. Am I in one of the hospitals or clinics in the subdivision??


"Your safe Jane. Don't worry about the boy—"


"You mean you kidnapped me??!!!" I asked innocently.


"No, of course. I followed you to your house and observed a little bit and my instinct told me to visit you. Why you're here?? You collapsed in front of the little boy in that HELL HOUSE you're in. Do you recognize me, by the way?"


I turn my face to face him. "Xsher, of course I know you."


"Wait—"


"This is Rovy, Kyle and Justine. They were your friends." Xsher replied.


"Yes, I knew them. My memories came back yesterday evening. I carefully sit at the headboard of the bed. "I wonder how I can pretend not to know their secrets. I'm afraid they might catch me."


"Don't be afraid, I'm here. They don't know me. I'll help you. I had a plan...."


Justine, Kyle and Rovy just made eye contact....

Big-oh Company


"Sir, any updates?"


"Actually, she's here. She'd be back to work."


"Hanna, is her table prepared?"


"Yes, sir. Always prepared."


"And Hanna, don't forget to give the guards this picture for her safety. They're banned."


"We need to organize a party!" Hanna shouted because of excitement. All her co-employees joyfully get back to work and do their assigned job.

*phone conversation of Aldrin, Sam and Myrna (Jane's aunt) *


"What do you say?! Jane is missing??!! How dare you not to guard her!!" Myrna said. Her eyes were like coming out of her eye sockets and she gritted her teeth tightly.


"I need to do something, so I left her in the apartment. I'll alert the subdivision guards about her and give them warning get her if they will see Jane in here, don't worry." Aldrin said.


"You have the guts to say that? SHE'S MISSING AND IT'S A THREAT FOR US!!! Why don't you get it?!"


Sam holds the phone and loudspeaker it. "It's only a threat for you, actually. Why do we need to care anyway? After all, it's all your evil plan and we don't need to have contribution for that."


"Fine, if that's what you want. But don't forget our agreement Aldrin. IF YOU FAILED AT YOUR MISSION, YOUR LIFE WILL BE THE EXCHANGE FOR Jane's."


"Wait, Auntie. I need to explain!" Aldrin


"What Sam said is final and you can't cancel it. Knowing me, if you get back what she said, I always need an exchange for that."*End of conversation*
