'So... you're telling me that you've been attempting to commit some crimes... framing innocent people... including an attempt on murdering someone... just for the sake that Yao's alive?' Ivan sums it all up. He had a unreadable expression on his face.
'Y-yes.' Erika says as she felt afraid. Ivan is a nice man, but he has a very scary temper that no one wouldn't want to encounter. At all.
'Erika... I...' Ivan wasn't able to find his exact words for Erika's situation. He just couldn't. He's not sure if he should really believe her. Though, he does admit that he refused to believe that Yao was dead at first, but he grew out of that fact over time... Though, Erika, the day after the first anniversary of Yao's death, she's been more stranger, than usual. She's been refusing to talk to other people.
Either way, he was shocked when she confessed everything that she has done. She didn't look like that she was lying. She was crying, while there was a mixture of guilt, fear and dread in her voice. All of those emotions were real... it's like Sofia does when she one time blamed Natalia for braking a vase. Erika's not the type to on lie on very bad things. Unlike Sofia's case where she simply broke a vase as a kid and blamed on her sister. Erika's framing innocent people on stealing things... or she attempted to.
Than there's Erika's conspiracy on the fact that Yao's still alive. That's something that he questions about.
'Ivan...'
'Erika... I'm going to need time to think this through.' Ivan tells her calmly as he tries to think of something.
'Okay.'
...
'Alex, please go wash your hands.' Hui says to her two year old nephew, as she holds May in her arms.
'Okay!' The little boy says cheerfully as he ran off into the bathroom to wash his hands.
May sucks on her bottom quickly while looking around cheerfully.
'I see that you're enjoying yourself May.' Hui says as she smiles at the baby.
Hui was babysitting her nephew, while her brother and his wife were out on a business trip. She also babysits May, while Chun Yan is at work. She gets paid a good amount. Hong would normally join her, but she's currently dealing her part time job as a waitress. Shen... she honestly hasn't seen him in a while.
'I washed my hands now.' Alex says as he energetically ran up her. 'Can I please eat now?'
'Lunch is now ready.' She smiles, while putting May the high chair.
Little she did know that someone's watching her.
...
Shen never thought that he could feel so sorry for someone that he disliked in his entire life. After hearing unexpectedly meeting with his crush's supposed to dead rude cousin as a prisoner of Kenya's. What Yao's been through. Shen surely felt that Yao deserves a hug or something.
'Shen?' Yao pulled him of his deep thoughts.
'Yao... I'm sorry for what happened to you've been through so far.' He says in a rather apologetic tone in his voice.
'Don't apologize Shen.' Yao reassures him with a weak smile on his face.
'Oh...'
'Shen, did Kenya and his group ever brought a group of men with him?' Yao asks him in curiosity.
'Your captors?' Shen asks as he remembered what Yao has mentioned. 'I don't think so. I was sent down here to watch over you, even though you have little chances on escaping here, Chesnokov was surprised that I knew you. So he told me that you'll explain everything to me.'
'Oh.' Yao says as he was about say something else, but someone else came in.
'Okay, Shen boy.' A man says as he came in. 'Your time here is up.'
'Okay, bye Yao.' Shen says as he felt guilty as he left.
...
As Carmen and Lovino were about to leave the house. They were about to open the door, but only see Gilbert standing in front of them as if he were about to knock.
They were silent for a moment, until Gilbert spoke up. 'Hello, Miss Carriedo. I'm Gilbert Beilschmidt. We've been told that you been doing some suspicious activity here.'
'Oh no!' Lovino's eyes widen as he heard what Gilbert said.
'I would like you to come with me.'
...
Luciano growls in frustration as he leans against the wall. He, Lutz and Takeo were put into a cell.
He woke up to see that Takeo and Lutz were still unconscious. He wondered what was wrong with Kenya. They were doing just fine and almost had the right amount of money. It wasn't even five years. They only had two years left, that's all.
He soon heard groaning and saw that Takeo was waking up. He lifted his head and asks, 'What happened?'
'I'm not sure, but Kenya's not satisfied.' Luciano says as he shrugs.
'What the hell?' He growls in annoyance.
'He's just a sociopathic man child that likes looking for entertainment.' A new voice spoke up.
They turn to see a young man entering their room and stand in front of their cage.
'Who are you?' Takeo and Luciano jumped as they heard Lutz spoke up.
'I'm Shen Choi. I've been a debt with Chesnokov for almost two months.' He introduces himself politely. 'I happen to know Yao, too.'
'You do?' Luciano asks in shock.
'You're lucky that I'm under Chesnokov's debt. Otherwise I'd be calling the police on you guys.' Shen says calmly as he could. 'You've literally got everyone to believe that Yao's dead and caused everyone to over nothin-'
'We get it!' Takeo snapped at Shen in a mixture of annoyance, anger and guilt. 'We're already guilty enough and suffered as much as Yao!'
'Takeo.' Lutz placed his hand on his shoulders. 'Please, calm yourself.'
'No!' He says in frustration. 'I've been wasting my time on watching over a innocent man that didn't deserve to be kidnapped and hidden away from the rest of the world-'
'TAKEO!' Luciano snaps him out of his range. 'Shut up!'
'Well, we are almost... somewhat... on the same boat.' Shen says calmly. 'I'm under Chesnokov's debt, too.'
'Really? How?' Takeo asks in suspension. Wondering if they should trust him.
'Well I...'
...
'I'll stay with you over the night...' Ivan tells her calmly. 'I want to know if this is true and all.'
'Really?' Erika asks in shock. 'You will?'
'Yes.' He nods at Erika with an attempted smile. He wanted to know if this was true or not. He would have think of getting the police involved, but it could risk Yao's life, if he's alive that is.
'Okay...' She says as she felt unsure about this. 'Though, I believe that I getting the feeling I'm being watched.'
'Don't you worry.' He tells her reassuringly has he smiles at her. 'I'll make sure I'll find them.'
'Do you really think so?' She asks in concern.
'Yeah...' Ivan tells her reassuringly. 'I'm going to tell Chun Yan.'
...
Michelle drives her way down the road home. She was hoping that could have the guts to tell Kumar about adopting a child.
She was in a empty road with fewer people in there. This place was quick short cut home and it was easier to avoid traffic, too.
Suddenly, Michelle felt a chill in the air. 'Why do I get the feeling that something bad's going to happen?'
She drives slowly as she thought about it.
Suddenly a noise that echoed in her ears and scared her to no end.
Bang!
'AHHH!' Michelle screams in horror and shock as the car lost control.
It spun around for a second, but stops in the middle of the road.
'WHAT WAS THAT?'
'That was a gunshot!'
'Why would anyone commit a crime here?'
'LOOK! That car is probably what got shot!'
Sirens were heard in the distance.
'There's a woman in it!'
'That's the woman drives by here everyday.'
'The car only was shot in the wheel. Nothing else isn't severely damaged.'
Police soon arrived.
'What we received a call about gun shots.'
'We were startled by it, but the nothing is exactly damaged.'
'What about the woman?'
'I think that she needs to be under protection and get some mental help.'
Michelle just stood there completely shaken up after the whole event.
'Wait, I think that I may know her!' A cop says. 'She's Kumar's wife.'
...
Hong heads over Hui's place to join her in her babysitting.
She also hopes to spend some time with her niece, too. As she made her way into Hui's front yard she suddenly got a feeling of dread. She heard crying in side the house. It sounded like Alex.
As she soon entered the room her eyes widen in horror. 'HUI!'
Hui lied on the floor unconscious. She ran to her friend and checked on her.
She's still alive, thankfully. There's a burn mark on her arm.
'Alex?' Hong ran up the stairs and found the crying toddler locked in a room. 'Where's May?'
Hong soon felt fear sink on her.
...
'So Carmen's been taken by the police?' Sofia asks Lovino.
'Yeah.' Lovino says calmly as he tries to think of something.
Lovino sat in his house with Sofia by his side. He told her everything that happened so far.
'What are you going to do now?' She asks him curiosity.
'I'm thinking of finding my cousin.' Lovino says as he thought about it.
'Do you know where could find him?'
'No, but I'm going find him and find out why the hell is he doing this.'
...
Luciano suddenly sneezes.
'Bless you.' Takeo says to his friend.
'Thanks.' Luciano says as he rubs his nose.
'Hey, guys.' Shen came in. 'Kenya now wants you guys to do a new job.'
'What would that be?' Lutz asks in a curious tone. As he notices a grim look on Shen's face.
'It's... babysitting...' He says the best as he could.
'What?'
'We're going to take you guys somewhere else and you're going to do a different job.' A group of men came in.
'I have a feeling that this isn't going to end good.' Takeo says.
...
Ivan and Erika sat patiently waiting for the phone to ring.
Erika felt nervous. What if they never answer? What if this fails? Will Ivan believe her?
Questions swarm inside of her head as everything felt unsettling.
'Erika, please don't feel that I don't believe you.' Ivan tells her as he smiled at her reassuringly. 'I believe you.'
'Really?' Erika asks in an still anxious tone. 'I wasn't to supposed to tell anyone about this. If I did, then Yao will be killed, but I hate keeping this as a secret. I just can't.'
Suddenly, Ivan kisses her on the forehead, then says. 'Look Erika, I've always liked you as a little sister. I'm happy that you're married to my best friend and you're apart of the family. I don't want anyone apart my family being miserable and sad.'
'Ivan...' Erika says in shock, but soon she was cut off by Ivan's phone.
Ivan picks it up. 'It's Chun Yan.' He then answers it. 'Hello, Ch-'
Chun Yan's yells and cries were heard on the other side of the phone. This didn't sound good at all. It wasn't until, Ivan's eyes widen in fear.
'I'm on my way!' He than says to Erika. 'I've really need to leave, Erika.'
'Wh-'
'May's been kidnapped!' Ivan says in an serious tone. Her eyes widen in shock. She could tell that there was a mixture of fear and anger in him. 'Her babysitter was found knocked out by teaser.'
'Go Ivan.' Erika tells him without hesitation. He's now suddenly in his own jeopardy. 'Your family needs you.'
'Please, don't hesitate to call me.' He tells her as he rushed out.
Erika fell to her knees. Everything's suddenly falling apart with Ivan, too.
That's for this chapter of To Save Her Man!
What do you think?
Everything's finally becoming intense.
Erika thought that she'll get help from Ivan, but it turns that he now has his own hands full.
Luciano, Takeo and Lutz are getting a new assignment.
Yao is still in the same position, but ten times more worse.
Now, stay tuned for the next chapter of To Save Her Man.
