It was 7.45 in the morning when Zee keyed in his code before entering the 45th floor of his office. He had been working there for the past 3 years right after graduating from university. Huang Industry hired him as a fresh graduate and he had been working very hard to be where he was. He was part of the security team dealing with cyber security. Call him a nerd, he would not mind as his nerdy job pays quite satisfactorily. He stepped into his office and fired up his computers.

A phone rang and he knew it was from the CEO, Mr Huang. He picked it up and he immediately was summoned to the CEO office on the 65th floor. He took the private lift while rubbing his Adam's apple. He shivered when he thought about what happened 2 nights ago. His mind was filled with the seductive devilish eyes of the tattooed stranger. He let out a shaky breath and tried composing himself before arriving at the 65th floor. When the lift door opened, he was greeted by the brooding face of Mr Huang. Zee knew that something serious was plaguing the old man.

"Good morning Mr Huang. How could I be of your service?" Zee politely greeted his boss.

"Have a seat first Zee. This is a delicate matter." Mr Huang ushered him into a spacious sitting area.

"Are you well Sir?" Zee was concerned.

"I am fine... I need your help. It's just that I need you to find my son as soon as possible!" The old man implored.

"Your son? I thought your son is studying in Germany?" Zee asked.

"It's a ruse. He has been missing for 2 years." Mr Huang's face fell.

"You mean Young Master Huang Ming Ming has been missing for so long and... have you contacted the police? He could be in danger Sir!" Zee added.

"He ran away from home when he was 17. He was supposed to go to Germany to start his college there but he simply left. You don't know my son like I do... he can take care of himself. He can take care of himself so well that he could survive out there even without my money or wealth." Mr Huang explained.

"Zee... I need you and your team to locate him as soon as soon as possible. I beg you." He continued.

"Why now Sir?" Zee cautiously asked.

"I have my reasons young man... Just find my son as soon as possible. I assure you that you can have all the resources and my personal security team is at your disposal. I need your skills." The old man begged.

"I shall try my best Mr Huang. You and your family lead a rather quiet life. Not much is known by the people outside about you and your family." Zee stated.

"I need his photos or pictures if possible. I can use the software we are developing to track him down." Zee explained.

"I shall ask my secretary to give you the details. After he left home, he has come home only a handful of times and most of the time... well... he basically broke into our house." Mr Huang looked slightly embarrassed.

"He would take valuable items I guess to sell them to get money. We froze his account and trust funds." Mr Huang said as he stared into space.

"He knows which items are the most valuable. That smart child." Mr Huang smiled and shook his head.

"If you want the best sir, I would suggest using MewGulf Security to assist us. I know them from work. They are one of the best in the country."

" Do what you must Zee. And please... I do not want the Huang family name in any tabloids or news. That's just what I want."

"I shall do my best Sir."

    That evening, Zee left his office late. His team has received the photos needed from Mr Huang and his program was working to track him down. His program would scan all available CCTV and using the algorithms he had created hopefully they could detect the boy. Zee was about 2 blocks away from his home when suddenly he saw a man lying sprawled by the roadside. He hit his brake and contemplated his next move. He was rather apprehensive about helping the man because he was nearly robbed once as he tried helping an unknown man. Poppy, Tommy and Jimmy had been warning him incessantly about being too helpful. He let out a sigh before opening his car door and leaving his car.
