3 DAYS AGO

"Lilian, stay down! They'll see you!" my dad shrieks. I wanted tell him that "I'm an expert at this, I've done this before" But then his detective side will come out and he'd ask me a million questions which are going to make me burst out the truth that I've been working so hard at keeping a secret! Yes, I'am freaking out right now!

My brother is tied up, unable to move his hands and legs. He's surrounded by 11, drunk 25 year old idiots. They all are armed with knives and large metal rods, that are sure to break some bones - I thought to myself. My dad is having a hard time sitting still, I know if I let go of his hands, he'll run to my brother at a crazy speed and drag him out of this miserable place.

I'm freaking out because I can't run out there and kick some butts because my dad is holding on to me, as well. "Dad, I'll go out there and get him. You stay here and wait" I said looking over the big garbage bin, which is currently what we were hiding behind. Let me add that it stinks really bad. Smells like spoiled milk and baby diapers.

"Are you insane?! You'll get hurt! I'm going. You stay here. If anything happens, run away and call our neighbors for help." My dad hisses to me angrily. He's trying his best to keep his voice low. "Why not the police?! They can handle this dad" I question. But I shouldn't have asked, I already knew the answer. "They'll take my son away with these gang members. I don't want my son in jail" he says, disappointed and broken.

My brother needs to get out of here very quietly then. I doubt any of this will be quiet. Good thing I called my agency before hand. They'll be here to cover up our tracks. It seems like the Phoenix rangers are taking their sweet time.

I can't wait any longer. I loosen my grip on dad and he does the same. "Dad don't move. I'm going to...." I stop speaking as I feel familiar tingles in my nose. Oh not now, please - I think to myself. I remember where I'm standing, a dusty, old, stinky alley. I couldn't hold it back. "Aaachuu! agh... bless me" I whisper. Obviously no point of whispering but I still did thinking I'm invisible to the drunk gang.

I hear a few bless yous from behind the bin. I guess they have some manners or maybe its the alcohol's effect - my brain tells me, and I agreed with it. Even my dad was able to say 'bless you'. Well I'm not least surprised. I'm Canadian(not Canadian born) after all and I am in Canada. So it's pretty normal.

"You...hiding behind the bin....come out" a guy with a rough voice says between hiccups. I was about to stand up but my dad pulls me down. "What are you doing Lilian?" he says calmly. "Dad he asked me to come out" I give him a cheesy look. My dad only looks at me as if I'm crazy.

"Dad, this is the perfect distraction. I'll entertain our dear gang members, while you free Jaemin" I tell my dad and continue "I'll be alright" I always am. He lets go and I quickly step away from him before he has second thoughts. My dad would sacrifice me for my brother any day.

"Sup, drunkies!" I wave at them as I step away from the bin. "Hi" the same guy who spoke before said to me with a smile, he put up a lazy arm which I believe was supposed to be a wave. He had messy blond hair, eyes half open and his body positioned as if he was about to fall. "Boss, stop smiling, she called us drunkies." a tall, pale young man whispers to blondie. "Hahaha, she isn't wrong" blondie says. I laugh without realizing.

The pale man straightens himself and looks at me angrily, offended by my laughter. "Step out in the light young lady" the pale man said. Without hesitation I step out of the darkness, suddenly feeling sick as people's eyes travel all over me. "Oh I know you! You are Jaemin's....sister!" blondie was a little energetic as he said that. I remember him, it took me a while but he's my brother's best friend, Dave.

I hear grunts from beside me. My brother was yanking away from the guys that held him. I was wrong, only Dave was drunk, the rest were in excellent consciousness. Jaemin's eyes were wide with anger, he looked terrified, not for himself but for me. I stared at him and he stared at me. He was pleading me to leave, but i just shook my head and mouthed "no". I gave him a small smile before I turned to Dave.

"What are you doing here?" The pale man asks me. "I'm here for my brother" I tell him. The pale man just smirks as he walks towards me. "I'm sorry miss, you can't have him" The pale man says, standing only inches away from me. I side step him and walk towards Dave. "Dave, can you please free Jaemin, you are his best friend." I ask him and pout. I'm going to take full advantage of Dave's drunken state.

Dave looks at me and suddenly becomes sad. "Of course. Please.....set my best friend free, why is he tied up anyway? Release him!" Dave says as he begins crying. I look at the men holding Jaemin, they haven't budged. I look back at Dave, as I force a tear down my check. "RELEASE HIM NOW!" Dave shouts and hiccups. The men drop my brother on the ground and I quickly run to him.

Guess my dad didn't need to get Jaemin. I crouch down to him, helping him sit properly. I pull out the gag from his mouth. "Lil-" my brother begins but I put my hand to his mouth. "It's alright Jaemin, you are safe" I say. I was so focused on untying him and getting out of here that I forgot about my surroundings.

"Lilian! BEHIND YOU!" Jaemin screams but it was too late. A metal rod hits the back of my head, sending me face down to the ground. I saw my brother trying to help me but the other men grabbed him again and pulled him far away from me.

I tried getting up but the pain in my head sent me back down. "I'd stay down if I were you." a voice that I'm so used to hearing said, a voice I've heard since I was 5 years old. "Dad..." i say weakly. He crouches down beside me, the metal rod in his hand. I noticed blood on the rod, my blood.

My father had a satisfied grin on his face as he looked at my helpless form. "Lilian! Agh...Let...go!" my brother shouts. Was this a setup? Was my dad forced to do this? What is happening? I am so confused, i couldn't focus at all. My head hurt like hell and my brain was slowly shutting off. Everything was becoming a blur.

"They thought they could protect their agents. Hahaha and yet I have one of their best killing machines in my grasp" my dad says. His and the other men's laughter echoed all around me. 'I'm sorry Lilian.." Dave says from somewhere, sobbing and hiccuping . I heard painful grunts and a loud thump sound from beside me. Seconds later I saw my brother punch my dad right in the face and then I drifted off to a deep, dark sleep.
