Chapter 10: Waking up, Talking And Roller Coaster

-With Kai-

Slowly darkness turned white as Kai opened his eyes. He heard something beep constantly near his ear it was annoying as hell. After blinking couple of times blurriness cleared out Kai was staring at the white roof and then he felt like gagging and choking. There was something in his throat and blocking the airway.

'Kai?... Help!' first he heard someone yell and then touch his shoulder.

'Hey, it's me, Tyson!' Kai turned his eyes to right and saw Tyson. He tried to speak but choked again.

'Shh, relax. Don't fight the tube,' Tyson pulled the tube up enough to Kai to see it.

'Oxygen tube!' Kai realized and did what Tyson said, relaxed and immediately he was able to breathe.

'There. Doctor is coming,' Tyson smiled and kept stroking Kai's shoulder. Then doctor came and began to check Kai's vitals.

'We can change the tube to oxygen mask. One sec,' doctor said before taking white tapes off, 'This might feel uncomfortable,' he warned before starting to pull the tube out. Kai gagged as he felt tube being pulled. He felt like puking.

'It's almost out,' doctor said and within next five seconds tube was out but now Kai was gasping for air. His lungs hurt until oxygen mask was over his face.

'I'm going to check your heart next. This might be cold,' doctor said.

'I'm not a kid,' Kai said before doctor placed the stethoscope on his chest. Doctor smiled and listened to Kai's heart.

'I love that,' Tyson laughed before realizing what he had said.

'You love what?' Kai asked. He noticed that Tyson was blushing.

'Did I say love? Heh, I meant to say missed that,' Tyson rubbed his neck laughing nervously.

'You are terrible liar but let's go with that. What did you miss?' Kai narrowed his eyes.

'Your attitude and remarks,' Tyson said.

'At least you are happy. How long have I been here?' they ignored the doctor who was now checking IVs and other stuff. He had raised the bed that Kai was sitting up.

'Over six hours. You were brought here last night by the kidnappers,' Tyson answered. Kai watched him carefully. For some reason Tyson was nervous. He was rubbing his fingers together.

'Spit it out. What is it?' Kai asked.

'There… um, has been something I have wanted to tell you for a while,' Tyson felt really hot. It was like room temperate was increasing.

'What?' Kai repeated.

'I… well I… Um…' Tyson hesitated when door disturbed them by being opened. Kai saw Michael and Eddy come in. He turned to Tyson who simply stood up and put the chair next to the wall.

'We know you that you have to rest but we need to ask you questions,' Michael said. Kai heard an apologizing tone in his voice.

'Hit me then,' Kai said without arguing. He would have to answer them eventually.

'Do you know who kidnapped you and why?' Michael asked first. Kai gazed at Michael a minute.

'I don't want to hurt you.'

'We are going to hospital!'

Kai heard Ray's voice in his ears and recalled what had happened.

'I don't know,' he finally said.

'You don't?' Tyson walked next to Kai's bed, 'Your apartment was a mess but the front door's lock wasn't broken,' he added.

'What are you suggesting?' Kai asked.

'We found Ray Kon's fingerprints. We think that you let him in for some reason and he abducted you,' Eddy spoke this time.

'It can't be him,' Kai shook his head, 'I went to a bathroom and when I came back, Ray was on the floor and I was knocked out,' Kai lied through his teeth. Michael wrote what Kai said into his notebook.

'Was Ray taken too then? He hasn't been in apartment either,' Tyson asked.

'If you didn't find him inside my apartment, then apparently he was taken too but I was tied to a chair, alone,' Kai said.

'There were more than people who brought you here. Did you see anyone's face?' Michael questioned.

'Not all of them. I recognized Tala and Spencer,' Kai said. There was no reason to lie in that. Eddy took two pictures out.

'Them?' he asked and Kai nodded.

'Did they hurt you?' Tyson asked.

'Yeah. They wanted to know my phone's and laptop passwords and then apparently rest of it was just for fun,' Kai said, 'And when are you going to let go Tyson?' he asked. Tyson's eyes widened and he looked down. He was holding Kai's hand.

'Sorry,' Tyson apologized blushing.

'Why did they want your passwords?' Eddy asked.

'I had taken pictures of the research and they wanted to take them and wanted to know who I had sent it,' Kai replied.

'They were asking Tyson's name, right? He had those pictures too,' Michael asked.

'Yeah but I didn't tell them that. That's about it what I know,' Kai said. Michael put the notebook away and walked back to the door.

'Wait. What have you done?' Kai asked.

'Done? About the investigation? We have talked to Robert Jürgens but there was no luck. He didn't know why Preston and others would have his bank account,' Tyson answered.

'Something tells me he wasn't telling you everything,' Kai sighed.

'I thought that too,' Tyson said as nurse came in.

'Patient needs to rest. You can come back later,' she said. Michael and Eddy nodded and step outside.

'You didn't finish Tyson. What you wanted to tell me?' Kai asked as Tyson began to leave.

'I'll tell you later. I promise,' Tyson said smiling before leaving. Kai stared after Tyson dumfounded first time in his life. Tyson was acting weirdly. Pushing it back in his mind Kai leaned his head back when he noticed a TV remote on the small desk next to the hospital bed. He took the remote, opened the TV to check the news but everything sounded normal.

'Why are they trying to fight against the government? Because they are corrupted? Is that the only reason? It seemed to be more personal to Ray if I heard Lee right. He said it was Ray's life work,' Kai thought. He didn't even know why he even lied to Tyson and Michael a moment ago. There was no reason to do that.

'This is giving me a fucking headache,' Kai cursed and brought his hand to rub his eyes and felt the piercings. Apparently they weren't taken off for some reason either. Kai didn't want to see himself from a mirror. Sighing he moved his eyes to a roof and went deep into his thoughts. He tried to find a reason why he lied. Maybe he just felt sorry for him or was it… repaying him back?

'Maybe I find the reason later,' Kai left his thoughts in that, at least he wanted to. With struggle Kai sat up, moved his legs over the bed and went to stand up. Carefully he took the IV out and put the mask on the bed and walked to the locker. Without a second thought he changed into his original clothes and made his way out of the door. Of course, he was met with his doctor.

'Where are you going? You can't walk yet,' he protested.

'Then report me if you want but I don't have time to lie down,' Kai continued walking past the doctor and out of the hospital. Next stop was a public transport and the police station. Just like the doctor he got more lectures from his colleagues.

'What the heck are you doing here Kai?' Tyson stood up shocked as Kai opened his work computer.

'I don't do resting very well. Besides I have something to check and this is the only place I can do it since my laptop is gone,' Kai snorted and started typing.

'Do you need help?' Tyson asked kindly.

'No. Continue with your own work,' Kai said.

'We are stuck at the moment,' Tyson admitted laughing.

'Have you checked the bullets and what kind of gun they came from?' Kai asked annoyed.

'No… I'll do that now,' Tyson sat back down.

'Remember to check where the gun is from too,' Kai added before concentrating on his own screen. He wrote Ray Kon and read the information police had.

'Ray Kon, originally from China but moved here with his parents when he was five but two years later seven years old Ray's parents died in a car accident. Since then he had studied and got a job in Gloria… just a few months ago?' Kai narrowed his eye in confusion. Next he wrote his parents' names.

'They moved here after a job and… what?' Kai saw a Robert's name. Why his name was here? Kai scrolled down but rest of the information was top secret.

'I'm going to labra. Hilary should be there to analyze the bullets I sent her a second ago,' Tyson informed, 'Do you want to go too?'

'No,' Kai said and acted like he was reading something. Without Tyson noticing Kai watched him leave and then he checked where Michael and others were. Slowly, Kai took a memory stick and put in the computer. Kai wrote some codes and watched the downloading meter fill up. He knew this would be found out easily but Kai decided take the risk.

After download was complete and the top secret file on memory stick, he took the stick out. Kai shut his every program and cleared the history before walking to the elevator.

'Why are you out of the hospital?' chief Dickenson appeared from the near room with a file when Kai had pressed the elevator up-button.

'I don't do hospitals,' Kai clenched his fist around the memory stick.

'I understand that. Go home to rest then,' Dickenson said. Kai nodded and went inside the elevator. After doors closed Kai sighed and felt the stick in his hand. Outside, he headed towards the library. Along the way he got looks from people and it annoyed him the most but Kai still understood why. He saw himself from the glass reflection. Piercings bothered him the most along with his lips. There would be definitely scars on his lips and hands.

-At The Library-

Kai arrived at the library after twenty minutes of walking. He walked as calmly as possible towards the computer and sat down. Nervously Kai put the memory stick in and opened it.

'Log in…' Kai whispered. He knew his police ID wouldn't work and didn't know Chief's ID either. Shaking his head Kai started to hack the password with some coding. In two minutes file opened and Kai began to read everything. He had to be able to remember it afterwards from memory.

'They started a company two days after they had moved to here. Company was very successful but after two years it went bankrupt out of nowhere and three days later… Ray's parents died,' Kai read.

'Why did it go bankrupt?' Kai asked and continued reading.

'It looks like Robert Jürgens contacted them and gave them A START MONEY?!' Kai started at the information shocked.

'Don't tell me…' Kai thought. If he read the rest right… Robert had some part in Ray's parents' accident. Robert bank account had come same amount money Ray's parents had lost.

'Why?' Kai thought and stared at the numbers. There wasn't anything else about Robert here. Kai closed the file, took the stick out and shut the computer after cleaning the history.

'I have to get a phone,' Kai thought walking out. Only chance was to buy a new one. Luckily, there was a store near the library. After half an hour he looked for an alleyway and found it in two minutes. Kai took a support from the wall, put a new sim-card in and opened it. With shaky fingers Kai dialed Ray's number and hoped it went through.

'Hello?' voice asked carefully.

'Don't hang up,' Kai said first.

'What?!' Ray partially yelled and Kai heard a door shut.

'Yeah, it's me. I'm alone and standing in the alleyway two minutes away from library… Would you come here and… talk?' Kai asked. Ray was quiet and it felt like forever until he answered.

'Fine…' and Ray hang up. Kai's only choice was to wait. He shut his phone down that no one could call him, mainly Tyson and others.

Kai stood there eyes closed an hour and sun was down before he heard steps. Kai saw a person with hood over their head.

'Ray?' Kai whispered. He watched person walk closer and pulled the hood away, Ray.

'I didn't expect you to call me,' Ray said without emotion, 'Going to arrest me or do you have your friends here?' he added.

'No, I'm alone and they don't know about you,' Kai said. He watched Ray's expression change to confusion and questionable.

'What do you mean?' Ray stepped closer.

'I was questioned when I woke up. I told my partner and two other cops that you were knocked out too by some stranger and that Tala and Spencer were the ones who tortured me,' Kai said.

'Why would you do that? I was the one who abducted you and… told Tala to hurt you,' Ray asked eyes narrowed.

'I don't know… Maybe because you saved me from Tala too and brought me to hospital and… after I heard Lee's comment to you… I wanted to know why you are doing what you are doing,' Kai spoke.

'What did you hear?' Ray whispered.

'Lee said that this was your life work and I wanted to know why. I left the hospital and… used my police status to find information about you,' Kai said. Ray grabbed his arm and pinned him against the wall.

'Why would you do that?' Ray growled.

'I wanted to understand you… those politicians were behind your parents death, weren't they? Specially Robert,' Kai asked. He hissed since Ray tightened his grip before letting go.

'Yeah…' Ray turned his back to Kai, 'I searched the reason why my parents' company went down and I found it,' he turned back to Kai who saw Ray's eyes sharp, angry but full of tears.

'Because Robert took their money. Every single penny! And why? Because they are greedy bastards!' Ray gazed on the ground, 'I went to confront Robert about it but I couldn't do anything and he enjoyed it… Later I found Lee and others who have suffered the same thing. There are others too.'

'That's why you want to prevent them doing it again,' Kai watched Ray from the wall.

'Yeah…' Ray walked back to Kai, 'I… thank you for not telling the police about us but aren't you going to be in trouble?'

'Yeah if they find about this but if it helps you then… I don't care. You do realize I have to arrest you if your identity is revealed?' Kai said.

'I know,' Ray nodded smiling, 'How did you find about my parents?'

'Heh… I broke another rule and literally hacked the file where the information was. I'm the only one who knows about you… But if police has this information, why Robert can't be arrested?' Kai pondered.

'Because they only show the bank account. There is no evidence that Robert caused their deaths but it's going to be revealed because of the research,' Ray said and pulled hood over his head.

'What are you going to do now?' Kai asked.

'Operation is almost ready. It's not right but I don't see any other way to stop them,' Ray said.

'You told me you're going to release the material to the public but is there more?' Kai watched Ray's back.

'Yeah… Recording what they say at gunpoint, kill them and release the material. I was planning also staying there and let police arrest me after it's done. I don't know what Lee and others will do,' Ray said. He turned to Kai wondering why he hadn't said anything.

'You're right. That's wrong and it's my job to stop you and keep human lives safe,' Kai stated.

'Are you? I don't mind since it's your job but I'm going to do everything I can to succeed,' Ray said.

'I know. Go,' Kai chuckled and watched Ray ran back where he came from. After he was out of sight Kai headed towards his home. He was tired and wanted to just sleep now. He had enough money to get home by public transport.

-With Robert-

Robert was drinking a glass of vine at home when he got a message to his phone. He opened it and saw a picture of Kai and Ray in the alleyway. With there was a text message too.

'Looks like they both care for each other. I eavesdropped and if I saw and heard right, Kai's NOT going to call his colleagues. Tala,' Robert said the messages with a smile and placed the vine glass on the desk.

'Did you hear Ray's plan?' Robert wrote back.

'Yes. He plans to record your confession about… his parents, kill you and your friends, release the materials and stay behind and get arrested,' Tala's answer made Robert pleased but angry at the same time. He should have killed Ray too back then.

'Keep following that cop,' Robert wrote back, threw his phone on the desk and grabbed the vine glass again. He had to make a plan to stop the small rat. Robert would have to get the material, destroy it and kill Ray, his friends and that cop too. Literally, everyone who knew how he got his money.

Johnny, Oliver and Enrique would be here tomorrow. They were travelling because of the work but they weren't as serious as Robert was, at least Enrique wasn't.

-At The Station-

Tyson had come back from the lab and was sitting behind his computer on the phone, 'Bullets are from the same gun. I called the shop where it came from but it had disappeared from the shop. He checked the surveillance camera but it had been hacked and shut down. There weren't evidence to police to go on.'

'Alright. That doesn't help a lot. We just have to continue with their computer files and try to find anything,' Michael said.

'I know and I feel frustrated,' Tyson sighed.

'Where is Kai by the way? Everyone in the station is talking about him leaving the hospital,' Michael asked.

'He was here a moment ago and I think chief send him home. Why?' Tyson asked.

'Well, while you were gone, a secret file was copied from Kai's computer. Did Kai tell you leave?' Michael asked.

'Kai did ask me about the bullets…' Tyson said while staring at Kai's work computer.

'I thought so. When you go see him, ask him about it. Chief isn't happy about this,' Michael sighed and hung up. Tyson stared between his phone and Kai's computer.

'Why would Kai break rules?' he thought. Kai had never done that before.

-With Kai-

Finally at home, Kai immediately laid on the bed even though it wasn't even eight pm yet but Kai didn't care. He watched the roof a while smiling. Kai wasn't sure what he felt about Ray. It had been a big roller coaster. First, Kai was… intrigued about him, then hate, worry and now? Kai chuckled rubbing his eyes.

Something about Ray made Kai want to help him somehow. He would have to somehow find a way to expose Robert along with his friends without killing them. While thinking that he just closed his eyes and he fell asleep after a while. All the walking had tired him without his knowledge.

That was a lot of talking XD

Do review :)
