Calypso (COMPLETE)

<Seventeen>

"Adam, you know what you have to do right?" "Yes sir. But..." "Adam, this is our request not as your bosses but as parents. You must keep our children safe." "Ma'am, Sikina and Justin are my kids too. But why must you take such extreme measures? There must be some other way!" "It's too late now Adam. I know you serve the Chois with your body but your heart lies with our family. So, this is my last request to you before we leave." "I promise upon my life no harm will come to the kids." "Thank you Adam. We will owe you...even in our after lives..."

"Hi Debi! How is everything in Seoul?" I asked over live chat. It seemed like it'd been ages since we last talked, and I missed her so bad. "It's amazing here. The food, the people and of course, you know what else!" "BTS!", we screamed together. "You know what, dad is here. But he is still busy with work, thanks to Mr. Choi...", I muttered. "I don't know Siko, I don't have a good feeling when the Chois are around." "It's Ok, I'll be meeting dad now. No one can stop me!" Debi laughed. "Then what are you doing cheating away with me, you pabo! Go to ahjussi this instant!" We hung up after our goodbyes and I ran towards dad's office.
"I wish we could wish Justin goodbye before we leave..." I overheard. Are they going somewhere? So soon? "I hope my kids will be safe. Justin is still mature, but Sikina...she is very sensitive and innocent. I wish I could spend more time with my lovely daughter." "So do I, Siko's eomma, but it seems like someone can't tolerate our family's peace." What are they saying? Are they in trouble? Just then, I heard someone heading over. I hid in the broom cupboard. "Hello! Nice to see both of you here!" Mr. Choi? At this hour? "Mr. Choi, I know we are pretty close, but you should respect someone's privacy. You can't just barge in..." "Oh, I should apologise for the intrusion. But, have you thought over what we talked about?" What could be so important that he had to come in at such late hour? "We shall discuss this tomorrow in a professional way Mr. Choi. You can leave now." I had to leave. My dad was in a bad mood, and he was stressed over something. Moreover I hated eavesdropping. After checking around, I left as sneakily as possible for my room.

The next day, dad was so busy, I barely even saw him come out of the room. Once he caught my glimpse, but just smiled warily and left. What the hell was going on? I decided to ask Mom.
"Dad comes for a few days and gets busy again?! What's going on? What is he stressed out?" "Sweetheart, you can't do anything about it. Besides, I have good news." "What good news...", I muttered, sulking. "You are going to Seoul. Tonight." "What, but Mom, I haven't even talked to dad once, and you are sending me to Seoul already?!" "We will follow you dear. And didn't you miss Debi? You can..." "Mom! Stop. Why this sudden decision? I am not going anywhere before you answer my questions." "Sikina, don't make this more difficult. Please listen to what we have to say. It's for your own good. Now go pack your bags." And she just left me hanging.
My flight was at nine...but I didn't want to leave. I still had dad's tie pin. But, they said they would follow me to Seoul right? But why wouldn't my heart believe this? I felt so uneasy. Adam ahjussi wouldn't say anything either. I was already in the car, when I stopped him and got out. "Miss, where are you going? You'll miss your flight!" I'll be right back ahjussi. I have to give something to dad before I leave." "Sikina, you can't....SIKINA!" That's when I heard a loud boom and saw fire engulf the floor where I had last bid my parents goodbye. "DAD! MOM!" And I remember falling on the hard concrete with tears falling from my eyes, and everything slowly blacked out.

"Is she alive?" "No sir, she has suffered major concussions and injuries." "Hmm...no pulse either. No breathing. Good thing we have tackled three in one shot. What about the boy?" "We can't find him sir." "Have you lost your touch Adam? Go and find him, quick!" "Yes sir." "Mr. Choi, there is another problem. Their shares...you can't touch them." "Why not?!" "Because they have been transferred to some other account, which is unbreachable." "Forget about their shares, get the others. And I want no one to have the slightest idea about this." "You can count on me for that father." "Good job, my daughter."
