Maki swallowed nervously before knocking on the decorated door of the office. She was scared, but she had to do it. it's been two days and Voltaire didn't know about the disappearance of his grandson.
"what is it?"
She opened the door.
Never in her life she felt such fear. She was so scared to the point that she was shivering
"s-sir"
"what is it?" he asked again, his patience running short
"it- it's"
Before she even say anything, she burst to tears
"get a hold of yourself woman"
"the young master is kidnapped" she said with tearstained face
The only sound they could hear was the sound of Maki's fear sobs. She was scared of Voltaire's reaction, scared for what will happen to her, scared if he'll punish her, but what scared her most was the safety of the young master. She was scared for him.
Suddenly, the sound of papers being turned and some scratching was heard. When she raised her head to see him, she found him already back to his work
"Voltaire-sama?"
"Talk to Boris about it. he'll handle everything"
"Voltaire-sama! Your grandson is out there in the hand of a merciless criminal. He's blind and who knows what'll happen-"
"SHUT UP" Voltaire shouted "don't interfere with things that has no business with you. your duty is to take care of him when he's here" he took a deep breath "well, since he's not here, go home. You are in a vacation until he comes back.. if he came back"
Her eyes widened. Did he not care about his grandson? The little master was as pure as an angel. He never deserved that.
"sir I want to"
"you're dismissed"
She glared at Voltaire before she runs out of the office crying. Reaching Kai's room, she threw herself on his bed
"Kai-sama" she sobbed "please! Please be ok!"

"good morning uncle" Rei said smiling picking up some bowls and a spoon to give the cats their food
"morning son" his uncle replayed "Rei, I'll feed your cats, you shouldn't be late for school"
Rei nodded "thank you." he grabbed his bag "bye uncle! Bye spotty"
The cat mewed as Rei ran out of the house. The moment he closed the door, his smile disappear as he heard that dog bark happily.. that meant only one thing
"he's here" Rei mumbled and looked at the house's window to see the lilac haired guy playing with the big dog and ruffling it's fur.
"sometimes, he looks like a normal guy" then he remembered the slate haired guy "I don't see that boy." He tried to look if he can see him, "ah! The school, I'm going to be late" he ran quickly that he didn't see that motorcycle that was going to crash him
"hey! Watch out!"
Rei's knee buckled under him and found himself on the floor with shocked wide eyes
"what the hell were you thinking?" the officer left his motorcycle and went to Rei's side. "oh! It's you!"
Rei looked at him, his eyes still wide from the shock "ah?"
The officer took off his helmet to reveal the red hear and the smiling face of the blue eyed officer "it's me. officer Ivanov. Tala."
Rei's smile returned back "ah! It's you!"
"you were in a hurry. You didn't even look at the street. Gee just how old are you?"
"sorry! I was going to school"
Tala handed Rei the helmet "wear this, I'll give you a ride"
"thank you very much" he wore the helmet and followed Tala to the motorcycle
"officer Ivanov?"
"call me Tala"
"anyway. Are you and Kuznetsov friends?"
"why are you asking this question?" Tala said smiling
"you didn't arrest him"
Tala chuckled "I don't have anything against him. So I can't arrest him"
"oh!"
"we're here" he stopped and took the helmet from Rei "take care of yourself and stay out of trouble kid"
"thank you" Rei walked to the school
"Reeeiiii!" Maria called him "who was that officer?"
"just a friend" he replied
"ok! Let's get in"

Bryan was drinking some soda while watching T.V
"that's stupid. It's been three days and there's nothing about the old man's grandson. Not in T.V news, not in newspapers nothing. Doesn't he know that his grandson is kidnapped?"
He looked at the door, the boy didn't move from there. From the day he found that the kid was blind, he left the boy in that room, never went to talk to him, nor did the boy leave the room.
Bryan smiled in amusement. He was testing the boy, and till now the boy was amazing him. Three days without leaving that damn room. Three days without food. Hell, without water even. He shook his head
"he needs to stay alive, no matter how stubborn he is"
He went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water and walked to the room.
Kai was still sleeping, he wondered if he was sleep due to the lack of energy or if it was something else. He walked to the boy and shook him
In an instant, the boy opened his eye and sat up in shock "who is it?"
Kai found something pressed gently to his lips "drink… slowly"
Kai drank some until he felt satisfied "thank you" he mumbled
"are you hungry?" Bryan asked and frowned when Kai nodded "I'll not feed you now, wait for a little while till I go buy something. Kai nodded again. "something else?"
Bryan's voice was harsh, he spoke with a very hard tone, but that didn't stop Kai from asking
"can I- can I take a shower? I smell"
Bryan glared "and what the hell are you going to wear? Don't expect me to buy you something cuz I'm not."
"….."
He sighed "fine, you can go take the shower. I'll give you some clothes that are small for me."
Kai nodded and followed Bryan to the bathroom by hearing the footsteps.
While Kai was in the bathroom, Bryan took some clothes "I was going to get rid of these. Oh well, I guess I'll keep them for a while"
Sometime later, Bryan, Kai and Blanco were in the kitchen eating lunch
"do you know why are you here?"
"because you want to kill me?"
Bryan laughed "clever, aren't we?" he smirked "and why do I want to kill you?"
Kai looked down "I dunno, you said… you said you want him to suffer"
"exactly!" Bryan said "I want him to search for you until he finds you. then… bang! You're dead and he'll live the rest of his life suffering"
There was a moment of silent, and Blanco decided to break it by barking and liking Bryan's palm asking for more food
"alright Blanco. One sec" he said and went to grab some food for Blanco while the dog was playfully rubbing it's head into Kai's palm
"you know" Bryan started "sometimes, I blame myself for the way I treat you. I mean… these are your last days. You are supposed to live them happily, But I don't care. You lived all your life happily, it doesn't hurt to get some pain. At least, you could know that there's something called pain exist."
"it existed the moment my father died" Kai mumbled, suddenly found himself slapped
"DON'T!" Bryan said angrily "don't try to say that you lived a painful life. you are the last person who should say that" he snapped. Kai kept quiet
"how did you lose your sight? or were you born blind?" Bryan asked, frowning at the gloomy look Kai had 'hn, thinks that looking pathetic is gonna make me let him go?' he wondered
"I-" Kai tried to find a good answer "I don't think that I want to talk about it. it's bad enough to remember th-" he cried in shock and pain as his hair was pulled
"I DON'T CARE WHAT SHIT IT WAS. WHEN I ASK YOU SOMETHING YOU ANSWER!"
"let- let go!"
Bryan threw Kai on the floor "looks like I was mistaken when I tried to treat you nicely, you need to be punished" he dragged Kai by his hair to the room and started kicking the boy until he grew tired
"this time it's simple, next time will be far worse. So you better listen to what I say" he panted
Kai curled into a ball and nodded, he wished he was back in the mansion with Maki taking care of him, playing with him and reads him some books until he fell asleep. He remembered how when she was happy, she didn't tell him that she was. She'd come to his room and gently grab his palm to let him touch her face. She always said that he can see. She even endured the pain of working a whole month without getting paid just because she asked Voltaire to let Kai have the operation.
Kai was pulled out of his thoughts when his hair was pulled again
"I asked you a question! How did you lose your sight?" Bryan looked at Kai's eyes, watching his expression as it turned gloomy and sad
"I lost it 7 years ago, the day…." He couldn't. he couldn't continue. God it was so painful.
A painful tug on his hair reminded him of the man that demanded the answer. He didn't see it, but he felt the frown that was on the other guy's face.
Bryan watched a tear slid down Kai's cheek before he continue "the day I watched my grandfather rape my mother"
It was it. a comment that made Bryan freeze in his place. Didn't speak, didn't let go of the boys hair. He didn't move at all… for a moment, Bryan was frozen. Didn't feel, didn't see, didn't hear anything, He stood there shocked
Suddenly, he felt something, no, it wasn't only one. Lots of complicated feelings that attacked his heart and he couldn't name a single one of them.
He looked at Kai in sadness to see a confused face that was tearstained. He sympathized the boy and let go of his hair. Quietly, without any word, he left the room with shocked confused eyes. Not aware himself, that the tears that stained the boys face, was his own tears.
