In truth, I LOVED writing this and I hope you enjoy it. Things are moving little slow now but peace won't last forever.


Chapter 11: First Kiss, In Love And Delusional

-With Ray After Seeing Kai-

Ray was met with a stern look from Lee.

'Where did you go so suddenly?' he asked annoyed.

'Believe it or not but Kai called me,' Ray answered. Kevin fell from the chair with a crash.

'That cop?! Why did he call you or better why did you go meet him? It could have been a trap!' Kevin scolded.

'I agree with him! Who could have known what would have happened!' Mariah agreed with him.

'I know, I know. That's why I wore this disguise and once I was sure that he was alone, I showed my face to Kai,' Ray explained.

'That doesn't make it better! Why did you go there anyway?! We are in the middle of the operation!' Lee didn't even try to hold his voice back.

'You don't have to yell at me. I wanted to know why he wanted to see me and I learned couple things,' Ray sighed and sat down next to Mariah.

'What?' Gary asked before stuffing his mouth with food.

'He had heard Lee saying that this is my life work. So, he basically checked my background and found about my parents and that Robert had some part in my parents' deaths. Kai had even broken rules to find out about it since everything was in top secret file or something,' Ray said. Lee's expression softened a little bit.

'Is he going to tell his colleagues about it?' Mariah asked.

'I don't know but that's not going to stop us,' Ray said.

'I agree with that,' Kevin stated cheering.

'Me too but try not to disappear again,' Lee said.

'I promise I will tell you next time when… something comes up,' Ray nodded.

'"When Kai calls again" Right?' Mariah poked Ray on the head.

'Where that idea came from?' Ray laughed.

'Nowhere. Something just tells me that we are going to see him again, well… at least you will,' Mariah smiled before standing up and walking to a stack of papers.

'While you were gone we found out that Robert called his three friends and they are here… tomorrow,' Mariah checked the time before giving papers to Ray.

'Has their schedules been checked?' Ray asked.

'Yeah. Besides being at home they will spend their time at the government building with Robert. I have a feeling that they are planning something. Their "movements" have changed,' Lee said. He was sitting behind the computer again.

'Changed?' Ray narrowed his eyes.

'Robert seems to be more "careful". I have a feeling that Tala is somehow behind it,' Lee said.

'Tala?' Ray gazed at him. Lee turned towards him.

'I know you are thinking the same thing as I. Tala is either a traitor or he wasn't on our side in the first place,' Lee spoke.

'Are you suggesting that Tala went and told Robert about our plans?' Kevin asked frowning.

'He did steal the plans,' Mariah reminded. Ray moved his eyes on the papers and read everything. Robert had even increased the security. Lee's theory seemed to support that action.

'Is the material ready to be published?' Ray asked. Lee turned to computer and took a strange looking thing which reminded Ray a phone. Lee threw it to him.

'It's on the server. You only had to press the numbers in right order and bum! Material is everywhere,' Lee said celebrating. He wrote something on a small paper before giving to Ray.

'Here is the code. Memorize it,' Lee said as Ray took the paper. After a few minutes he nodded.

'Alright. Let's tie the loose ends and finish the preparations,' Ray ordered and others nodded.


-With Kai In The Morning-

Kai woke up yawning and felt something in his hand. Glancing down he saw the memory stick in his hand.

'Guess I fell asleep without a second thought,' Kai thought amused. He sat up on the edge on the bed slowly. Ribs didn't hurt anymore when he moved but he had to keep movements still slow. Kai did leave the hospital without permission. He didn't know why there wasn't anyone to drag him back but he didn't care either.

As Kai changed his clothes to clean and not ripped clothes he heard a knock on the door. Kai checked the clock and it was 9am. There was a new knock on the door. Kai put the stick in the drawer and walked to open the door.

'Tyson?' Kai was literally shocked to see Tyson behind his door this early. Tyson didn't say anything.

'What is it?' Kai asked again.

'Can I come in?' Tyson said so quietly that Kai had barely heard him.

'Sure but what's wrong?' Kai let Tyson past him and watched him carefully. He was acting really strangely.

'Well… First, how are you feeling?' Tyson started.

'I'm just fine,' Kai said.

'So, I can't help you anyway?' Tyson's second question confused Kai.

'I would ask your help if I need it. You know that,' Kai was literally watching Tyson's back.

'Then why did you break rules and copied a file you weren't supposed to?' Tyson turned around. Kai saw angry expression on his face.

'They found out this quickly? It shouldn't be a surprise,' Kai thought watching Tyson.

'Answer me. Michael called me and told that a secret file was copied from your computer and you were the only one who could have done that. Why? You have never broken any rule before,' Tyson sounded desperate now.

'Do you know what the file was about?' Kai asked.

'I checked it. There is something about a Chinese family and their financial information. Ray Kon's family, wasn't it? Why would you want to check that in the first place?' Tyson asked.

'He's missing, isn't he? I just want to find him since he got hurt because of me,' Kai lied. Tyson's face changed to worry.

'It wasn't your fault. It was one of you kidnappers fault,' Tyson said grabbing Kai's hands.

'What are you doing?' Kai asked as he felt Tyson stroking them.

'Sorry…' Tyson let go and backed down, 'You do have to call the chief and explain this to him too. You might get some kind of punishment from breaking rules. But please Kai… there wasn't any reason to hide this,' Tyson said.

'I remember that next time. I'll call but what are you up to?' Kai asked.

'I'm going with Michael again to talk to Johnny McGregor today,' Tyson said walking to the door. He opened it before turning to Kai with a smile.

'Do tell me what chief tells you. Okay?' Tyson asked. Kai nodded and watched Tyson close the door. Without waiting Kai took his phone, opened it and dialed Dickenson's number.

'Chief Dickenson on the phone.'

'It's me, Kai. You want an explanation.'

'I do. I wasn't expecting you to break a rule.' Kai ignored Dickenson's tone and told him what he had said to Tyson a moment ago and what Tyson had replied.

'I agree with Tyson this time but your reason is understandable too. You do have to get a punishment from breaking a rule. Not a harsh one. I think you won't come back to work until you are fully healed.'

'Alright,' Kai said. After listening Dickenson's questions how he was doing Kai hang up. He stared at his phone and chuckled tiredly. Again, he lied and not knowing the reason why. Was it simply because he felt sorry for Ray and wanted him to have his revenge? But killing people was wrong.

After grabbing a snack from a fridge Kai went to his desk computer which was slow as hell but only computer he had left. Might as well to learn more about Robert and his colleagues. Kai had to rely on the internet since he couldn't go to his work computer and present himself as a police officer, but luckily news had some info.

'Looks like they started do politicians at the same time,' Kai firstly noticed. Everything else wasn't so useful. News was just full of their dumb decisions.

'Looks like they are jerks in public as well,' Kai thought. Every decision they had done were either supporting rich people or against immigrants, unemployed and poor. They were very known politicians because of it.

Kai took the memory stick out again and put it this time into his own computer. With two more clicks documents were printing out.

'Evidence number one,' Kai thought before going to his email. He had his messages go through his email as a backup. Kai found the pictures he had sent to Tyson and printed them out as well. Next he checked the dates when Robert got a huge amount of money and wrote "Bankrupted companies" on Google.

Just like he thought, there were matches on dates. Taking a pen and paper out Kai wrote companies names and their owners with addresses. It wasn't even a middle day yet when he closed the computer and left the apartment. After what felt like forever Kai sat in his own car and headed towards the closest address where owner was living.

He found himself at average house after ten minutes. Kai stepped out and walked to the front door. He was met with an elder man after knocking.

'We are not buying anything,' man grunted. Kai saw him notice bandages around his arms.

'I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you but I'm not a seller. Are you Mr. Brown?' Kai asked.

'I am and it's okay. If you don't me asking but what happened to your arms and… face?' man asked awkwardly.

'I had some trouble. I was wondering if I could ask you something… personal? I'm investigating couple of politicians,' Kai asked. Brown eyes him for a while before showing him inside.

'You are talking about Robert Jürgens, aren't you? Are you a cop or something?' Brown asked once door was closed.

'Yes and yeah. I was sent home to rest but there is no time do that,' Kai said.

'Why are you here then? It's not like I could tell you anything new,' Brown watched him every moment.

'I'm trying to find evidence to… show everyone who they are to be honest. There might be a connection between companies and Robert Jürgens. He has gotten a same amount of money on the same day when companies lost theirs,' Kai said.

'My son's company was among them, wasn't it?' Brown asked sadly.

'Yeah. Is he…' Kai couldn't even finish his question when Brown already nodded.

'He's dead, yes. He died two days after he lost his company,' Brown walked to a picture on the wall. Kai saw a happy young man smiling on a picture frame.

'It was a car accident but still after ten years, I refuse to believe it to be just accident. He was excellent driver. Even his company concentrated on cars and driving lessons,' Brown explained.

'Car accident? Ray's parents had died that way as well,' Kai thought as Brown turned to him.

'My son told me that Robert Jürgens contacted him and offered some "help" money. But after few years my son told me that Robert send some men demand his money back full. My son wasn't able to pay it in that spot. Next thing what we knew was bankrupt and car accident,' Brown spoke. Kai listened like he was hypnotized.

'Thank you for your time,' Kai said. Brown nodded as Kai left the house and walked to his car. Sitting down he wrote everything down on his notebook, placed it under his seat and headed towards the next house. His goal was to talk to many people as possible.


-With Tyson In The Evening-

Tyson sat inside the car frustrated. Talk with Johnny went the same way as with Robert.

'You haven't told him yet, haven't you?' Michael asked after sitting down.

'Huh?' Tyson turned to him confused.

'Kai. You haven't told him yet,' Michael repeated.

'Ohh… I tried but then you came in and interrupted me,' Tyson said and Michael facepalmed.

'You were going to tell him when he was laying on the hospital bed?' Michael laughed.

'Yeah… What of it?'

'Seriously? Ask him to eat or just go talk to him when he's home or something. Not when he's in bed,' Michael said before starting the car.

'Tell you what. You send him text message now and ask where he is and I bring you there,' Michael said. Tyson stared at Michael in disbelief.

'Okay,' Tyson finally nodded and took his phone out.


-With Kai-

It had taken all day but Kai had talked to all of them… well, their parents or other family member. Kai stared his notebook while waiting his hamburger. He had stopped to eat in fast food restaurant.

'Same pattern with everyone: Offer money, after company is successful demand it back, bankrupt and car accident,' Kai thought. This was a small step but step nonetheless.

'Here is your food,' woman brought the hamburger. Kai nodded without gazing at the woman and continued thinking.

'I would have to check their cars. If they were killed, there might be something on their cars,' Kai thought when his phone vibrated in his pocket. It was from Tyson.

'Hi. Where are you now?' Kai stared at Tyson message before typing back.

'At fast food restaurant next to the park.'

'I know that place. Can we… talk? I promised that I would tell you something.'

'Sure,' Tyson didn't answer back but Kai assumed he was coming here. He had almost eaten his food entirely when Tyson walked through the door.

'Hey,' he said sitting in front of him.

'Going to tell me what's on your mind? You acted weirdly last time,' Kai asked putting the hamburger down.

'Yeah… well, I'm nervous…' Tyson began to blush and he was red as a fire truck.

'Why?' Kai narrowed his eyes. He had never seen Tyson this red unless Hilary embarrassed him in front of everyone.

'I have been… feeling this way… around five years but I haven't told you that… I… I…' Tyson began to rock back and forth.

'Did you do something?' rocking didn't go unnoticed from anyone. Other customers were watching them as well.

'No… I…' Tyson shook his head, 'I know that you might not think like this… but I don't care,' he added.

'Spill it out. You are attracting attention,' Kai sighed annoyed. He watched Tyson hold his breath and it looked like he was about to explode.

'Tyson? What is it?' Kai asked.

'I… I LOVE YOU!' Tyson bursted out. Kai's eyes widened very wide and his mouth hang open.

'Wha… What?' Kai asked. He didn't notice other customers watching them. Thanks to Tyson they were now watching and listening everything he and Tyson said.

'I… love you… I have loved you now five years but I was too afraid to tell you…' Tyson had a smile on his face.

'Are you feeling better now?' Kai leaned back but kept his eyes on Tyson.

'Yeah… but I want to know something. How you feel about me?' Tyson asked.

'I know Tyson that we have been friends since primary school… and you will always be a friend to me and I care about you but…' Kai spoke. He could feel gloomy atmosphere surround them.

'You don't feel the same way. Somehow, I guessed that,' Kai watched Tyson's sad smile, 'At least you know it now,' Tyson added before standing up.

'I'm… sorry,' Kai said.

'There is no need for that…' Tyson watched Kai with a smile but his eyes betrayed him, 'I feel sad but it's only natural if feelings aren't returned,' Tyson said before leaving slowly. Kai watched Tyson and felt a strange pressure on his shoulders. He had hurt Tyson's feeling even though Tyson was right. Still feeling eyes on him Kai stood up and bolted out of the restaurant.

He went to his car and drove back home with a small over speed. Back inside Kai dropped the notebook next to him on the bed. Why was he feeling this way? Without thinking he took his phone out and typed a message to Ray this time.

'Hi… If you have time, could you come to my place? I just need someone to talk to.' Kai sent the message and prepared himself for negative answer. After two minutes his phone beeped.

'We just finished the last part of the operation. So, I can come.' Kai read the message smiling and closed his eyes. After an hour, 8pm there was a knock on his door. Kai stood up and opened it. He saw a person with a hood but saw Ray's face behind it.

'Is something wrong?' Ray asked once he was inside.

'Has someone come to you and told you that they love you but you don't feel the same way?' Kai asked. He didn't know why he opening to Ray in the first place.

'Couple of times on my life. When I was in high school, but they were just some weird people to me. Why? Did that happen you today?'

'Yeah… My… partner literally yelled in front of everyone that he loves me…'

'But you don't feel the same way, do you?' Ray sat next to Kai on the couch.

'I don't. He's just a friend to me, best friend even since primary school. He told me he fell in love with me five years ago or something.'

'Did you tell him that?'

'Yeah and Tyson seemed to already know my answer but he still looked hurt.'

'He's going to get over it. It takes time but he will. Don't worry. You didn't do anything wrong,' Ray put his hand over Kai's shoulders.

'Then why I feel like some heavy weight is on my shoulder?'

'It's okay too. He's your best friend and you didn't want to hurt his feeling but you have to stay true to yourself too,' Ray stroked Kai's shoulder calmly. It felt… nice.

'Why I'm even telling you this? I have never opened up to Tyson about myself. And why are you even listening to me?' Kai chuckled.

'You will find the answer to that too and why I listened to you? I think it's my nature to listen and ever since I met you at the bar, I wanted to know you.'

'Is that's why you called me out?'

'I "asked" you out and yes. You are intriguing and… beautiful person.'

'Beautiful?' Kai frowned.

'Yeah. I know you hate me after what I did and I destroyed my chances with you…' Ray spoke openly.

'I did hate you but not anymore.'

'Why? I'm the reason why you have scars on your lips and all those piercings.'

'It doesn't matter. You saved my life in the end.'

'I'm still so sorry,' Ray took his arm away and took Kai's hand, 'I apologize deeply.'

'Just forget it… Thanks by the way.'

'For what?'

'For coming and listening to my complaints. I'm not very good with social things and I didn't know how to handle what happened today.'

'Glad I was able to help,' Ray leaned closer, 'You can ask help anytime.'

'Thanks… Why are you so close…' Kai's sentence stopped as Ray softly kissed him on the lips. Ray did pull away quickly.

'Sorry… I got carried away,' he apologized and moved back.

'It's fine,' Kai said as Ray stood up.

'I think I have to go now. Tomorrow is the busy day,' Ray said and headed to the door as Kai shot up and went next to him.

'Don't feel embarrassed about that. It's fine,' Kai touched Ray's shoulder.

'I guess you know how I feel about you too,' Ray chuckled, 'Like Tyson, I understand if you feel differently.'

'I think… that I don't,' Kai wondered.

'Don't?' Ray narrowed his eyes.

'I don't feel differently that you. I thought it was impossible since it was too fast but more I think about it… I don't know. When I think about you, I can't bring myself to call the police and tell the truth. I have lied more than once already and I'm trying to find a way to stop those bastards without a murder,' Kai explained. Ray stroked Kai's cheek.

'I tried that but it failed. Besides, I have already killed people. It's too late for me,' Ray rubbed behind Kai's ear, 'Don't ruin your life because this.'

'I already did,' Kai chuckled and let Ray touch his neck and hair. Every second he spent with Ray Kai felt right about this. He had feelings for Ray and enjoyed his touch.

'You have still a chance to prevent it…' Ray began. Kai shook his head laughing.

'I warn you that I'm very stubborn,' Kai said. Ray pulled his hand away.

'I can see that. What have found out then?'

'I have just talked to some people whose lives Robert had destroyed. There is a pattern,' Kai said.

'I noticed it too. After I saw the research I realized the rest. I think Robert had hired Tala to kill those people,' Ray said sadly.

'Your parents too?' Kai watched Ray shocked.

'Yeah. From the start Tala was never on my side and ha probably already told Robert everything he knows about us. Even if you could find a way to get them behind bars, he can get us arrest as well,' Ray said.

'You can't know that!' Kai shouted when Ray kissed him again but this time he didn't pull away. Kai let Ray push him against the wall and let him past his teeth. This was new, strange but best feeling Kai had gotten for years. He pulled his hands around Ray's neck and pulled him closer. Ray brought his hands around him as well, one was behind Kai's head and they continued to kiss deeply.

Both of them had their eyes closed. Kai gasped as Ray moved away from his mouth and continued to kiss his cheek and neck. He gripped onto Ray's black disguise shirt when he felt a hand go down along his waist. Ray moved back to Kai's mouth. As they kissed again there was a knock on the door. Ray pulled away as voice called out.

'Kai? It's Tyson.'

'Shit,' Kai whispered and turned to Ray, 'Hide.'

'Of course,' Ray kissed Kai's hand and went into Kai's bedroom.

'Are you there?' Tyson asked.

'Yeah! One minute,' Kai called out before shaking his head tapping his cheeks. Looking at the mirror there were visible blush on his cheeks. Hopefully, Tyson wouldn't notice. Kai opened the door and saw Tyson with a red face. It was clear he had cried a lot.

'Yeah?' Kai kept a hold on the door handle.

'I just wanted to tell you personally that this isn't your fault. I kind of knew your answer and that's why I didn't tell you in the first place. I tried to think it over but… I can't help it. I love you too much,' Tyson spoke. Kai listened to Tyson. It felt like Tyson was expecting a different answer.

'I know but I can't change how I feel. You understand that, don't you?' Kai asked.

'I do but my feelings won't change either. I just have to wait and I decided to wait,' Tyson wiped his face.

'Wait for what?' Kai asked.

'That you love me too,' Tyson smiled.

'Is he serious?' Kai thought shocked. Was Tyson… delusional?

'Then you have to wait forever,' Kai said and tried to shut the door but Tyson dashed forward and grabbed the door.

'You won't know that. No one will know that,' Tyson had tears in his eyes.

'But I don't love you,' Kai took Tyson's shoulder and pushed him away from the door, 'And I love someone else,' he added in his mind.

'I know but I believe in my heart that it will change some day. See you at work when you have healed,' Tyson said and went to the elevator. Kai watched him leave before closing the door. He pressed his head against the door as he felt a hand on his shoulder. Kai glanced at Ray who had worried expression.

'It looks like his feelings are deeper than I thought,' Ray said as Kai turned around and leaned to the door.

'What do you mean by that?'

'When a person loves other person deeply, rejection is bad for them. Usually, they get over it but when person feels love deeply, they get an idea into their heads that their love will be returned someday and won't let go,' Ray tried to explain as clearly as he could.

'I have heard of that but never seen it. Lucky me,' Kai chuckled as Ray leaned closer. Smiling Kai went forward this time and kissed him.

'I should be going. I will text you, okay?' Ray stroked Kai's right cheek.

'Okay,' Kai felt a blush on his cheek again as he let Ray leave. Kai leaned against the door again and touched his lips. This couldn't have just happened. It was too fast. Those thoughts filled Kai's mind as he recalled Ray's kiss but they were just excuses.

Kai had fallen in love with Ray.


-With Tala-

He smirked as he watched Ray leave the apartment building. Tala had used a flying robot to capture Ray and Kai on camera and what he had just witnessed surprised him. Ray and Kai had kissed a long time and deeply.

'I knew it. For being innocent Ray didn't want to Kai die because of thing called love,' Tala thought and sent a picture to Robert with text.

'It's confirmed. They are in love.' Tala waited and got answer pretty quickly.

'This information is going to be very useful. I put some money to your account for your good work. Continue watching Kai,' Robert wrote back. Tala flew the robot back, took it inside his car and put a timer on his phone to wake him up at 5am. That would be enough time to him to sleep.


Did Tyson lose it or what happened? :O

Do review and tell me your thoughts. I try to finish this story first and then Strict Academy (There's a chance that I write chapter there while this is unfinished)

Until next time enjoy :)
