"We need to get out of here. Fast!" Lance said.

"It's my fault." I mumbled. Well it's true right? If I didn't replied back mentally to those voices, they won't be triggered.

"Did you say anything thief?" Tristan asked.

I just shook my head as response to him and to clear my mind. "So how can we get out of here?" I asked.

"No idea. A flight is traumatic. Let's just sail?" Harvey replied. "We still have Chinese currency money right?"

"Yes. But I guess we should wear something to blend in or something that can help to hide our identity." I suggested.

"And food!!! Let's eat first. I heard some random folks talking about a famous restaurant here in Beijing." Lance said. We search for the restaurant and when we got there, we ordered some of their famous dishes and what they call 'dumplings'. After that, we changed our outfits to hide our identity and buy a ticket to ride on a ship. It's escaping time.

"FOUND YOU!" What on earth does those guards doing here?

"Oh sorry. I thought you're the siblings we're looking for." The chief said to a group of people. "But does anyone of you encountered 4 boys and a girl? Their names are Eros, Hermes, Apollo, Zeus and Mnemosyne Smith."

"Sorry no." One of them replied. The guards keep searching in the opposite direction where I am.

But let me explain. The names they're searching. That's us. We used false name because we thought it can help when we get in trouble. And I guess it is. Eros is Lance. Hermes is Terrence. Apollo is Harvey. Zeus is Tristan. Mnemosyne is me. We use Smith as last name because we told the emperor we came from America and our parents are obsessed in Greek Mythology. Clever idea, right?

"Harvey. The guards are here. We need to escape now." I said. The others heard it too and look at me.

"GOOD DAY EVERYONE. THIS IS CAPTAIN CHANG AND WE'RE GLAD TO INFORM YOU ALL THAT WE ARRIVED LONDON." A voice from the speaker said.

"We only have two choice. Get caught or jump to the water. We're in London after all." Lance said. We all agree to jump to the water.

The guards are approaching so we hide in one of the wall.

"Calling Vice-Chief Zhou, this is Chief Ping reporting. I guess they didn't ride in a ship." One guard say in the walkie-talkie. "The captain said they don't have passengers with that name."

"Same here at the airport. Also in the whole China. We lost them." Replied from the other line.

The guard sigh. "Let it be. But let's search for more. Just in case." After that, the guards left.

"Phew! That was close. Let's do it. Everyone get ready. When the boat reach that bridge," Tristan pointed a huge bridge. "We'll jump. But let's leave them clueless, okay?" We all nodded.
