21. The story behind the spy
"I understand your plight, but this does not mean the truth could be shaded forever by Pitch. My parents left me and my sister since the crack of cruise when we were small. Hans, don't let the resentment ran over your virtuous nature." Anna said with begging yearn.
"It is not … not the same, my parents' leave does not caused by an accident, but they are … murdered by the prestigious Mr. Dunbroch and Mr. Haddock. One night, my world changed, since the reclamation and redevelopment, my parents' business lost and get depressed, finally they seek suicide and leave me alone as an abandoned toddler. Why this was happened? The only reason is the evil business people, their ambition killed other's livelihood and happiness. I won't forgive them." Hans said resentfully, he grasped strictly his fists and the sharp knife, he was about to explode and killed Anna by this weapon.
"But, are winners take the good things all and leave only bad things to the people? Hey… Look at our shopping center, which was the most innovative architecture all around the world. Don't you see the featured page of Gossip press last 2 weeks? This improves many of our quality of life. Undoubtedly and regretfully, your parents chose this way, but this did not mean you have to admit their way of envisaging the changing world. The world could only change and develop, nothing could do to hold it back. After my parents' death, me and my sister came to Hong Kong, all the things we had to adapt. Somehow the business looked on the money too much, but this was somehow beneficial to us. And, they don't deserve to disappear." Anna said to Hans with smiling, viewing his façade cooled down to the normal him, she felt much more easy to deal with him, although he was holding the knife.
Hans looked down, likely he thought many things about Anna's explanation. He first felt he was wicked and… the way he worked for Pitch and Arendelle was wrong. Why did he believe in Anna so easy?
"Thank you, Anna. But I can't hold it back anymore. My body has possessed by nightmare, my mind might not be touched and start to attack you when he started to control me again. I would bear all the condemnation, please stay away from me." Hans dropped his tear to tell her the fact, then he turned away
"Wait, what? Nightmare? Is it the guardian of nightmare? Pitch?" Anna chased the answer.
But, it was no longer to be safe beside him. His blackish iris expanded, and a loop of blackish magic splash surrounded his head. It was the magic, which made Hans misbehave for such long time to serve the wicked boss.
"And one more thing, please go to…the control room, your friend is locked by me. No sooner did the real possession of Pitch will go there and destroy him, you must be fast." Hans struggled to say that, he laid down the knife since his hands was shaking.
"How is… about you?" Anna asked.
"You are the bravest one I have never met in my lifetime. Don't care of me, you need to go, bring back the justice. Pitch will find you very soon. Sorry, Anna!" Hans said and left a sigh. His bones and fleshes sprained as if burning them by luminous flame. To begin with, he stumbled down to the ground, then swirled his fists like uncontrollable cramping. Pitch was possessing his "doll".
Anna left the office with her evidences as fast as wind of the cyclone, too the knife. She ran, escaped all the people, she must arrive the Gossip Press to reunion with Rapunzel and Elsa. Probably she had been looked as the eyesore to the "Pitch", because she carried the very important things which can charge Arendelle. But, after this day, Corona would become tranquil, instead of surrounding the rumors of destruction and nuclear wastes.
"No more thinking, conceal, don't feel. They won't find me." Anna thought. She used her fastest steps to fetch into the train, running to the save place she thought about.
In the evening's office of Gossip Press, Rapunzel was asked to handle one more news about the discussion between different bureaus towards the responsibility of EAC, Arendelle and shopping centers. The passage Rapunzel just drafted was that:
No more waiting to fetch back the justice
Today, all the head of bureaus inside government made the discussion about the responsibility of EAC and Arendelle, focusing the building of problematic and dangerous installation, especially the nuclear fission installation.
Head of EAC corp. was not invited, but believably Jacob would respond their result very soon. More than 80% votes approve the EAC should be monitored forever, which meant the corporation was sieved to be one compartment of government. And more than a half of votes agree that the EAC corp. should pay back the shopping centers' shops, offices, residents the satisfactory compensation, for the mental support over these years this corporation disturbed them a lot.
Nevertheless, the responsibility of Arendelle was not approved to singly handle the problems inside Corona by more than a half votes. Many of the head said this group's claim was rejected by a reporter just, their efforts might not help much; instead they decided to let more groups to partake this cake.
A spotlight shareholder was the shopping centers. Miss Galinda from EPB said they were also the victim, instead Pitch, who obviously sneaked to engage the discussion, who said, the recent research towards the water there was no improvement in radioactive level. "This showed they(the shopping centers) allowed the crazy shops to sell radioactive goods.", demanded them to charge the shopping centers in Corona. The chief executive of government admitted this might be considered, about this piece of fact would be discussed later instead of today.
To unveil the truth, many of them use efforts to discover. If the secret installation was not discovered, the operation of CCC would bring a lot of threat to the citizens. This proves the importance of getting the justice, that's why our civilization could rise.
After the last full stop she had typed, Anna appeared in front of her.
"Anna? Why do you come?" Rapunzel was stunned, since she did never see Anna in her office before.
"That's a big news I found. And…, I am not safe now." Anna sighed with a tired expression. Her body was sweating, lowering her eyebrows, likely she was about to sleep in front of her cousin.
Then, Rapunzel called Elsa come and look on Anna's photos and the videos inside the email Anna just sent before the sudden interrogation of Hans.
"After all, the things go well. Arendelle must fall." Rapunzel claimed.
"You will be safe with me, don't be afraid." Elsa comforted Anna.
"Apart from scare, he gave another thought about our parents' tragedy. That's haunting." Anna said melancholy.
"Anna. That has passed so many years." Elsa said.
"Yes. But, Hans did not forget, but he hated the things which triggered his parents' death, including all the properties, monetary people… even destroy the justice and safety of this prosperous city is deserve, I really don't understand. Why can we get by under the nightmares we had when we are 5 and 7 years old?" Anna asked.
"Faith and believe in future. That brings us brave to confront the plights and woes, adversities and future. "Elsa began to yawn, and then slept with her sister and cousin in the office. Due to the police still did not accuse Hans and Pitch, or more related members, Anna's life might be threatened.
On the same day, there was a meeting between government and Arendelle, about the following responsibility of Arendelle to deal with the Corona. Pitch knew Hans had failed and Arendelle faced extinction, maybe on tomorrow. He decided to corrupt government in this perfect and decent time.
"Pardon me. Miss Galinda, Pitch from Arendelle came inside now. "A man voice penetrated into her room.
"Come in." Only Miss Galinda sat in the conference room, the time was 10pm, she was rather sleepy to meet this head of a rotten-ranked green group.
Pitch just sat, and he began his planed speech to Miss Galinda," I know the time is late, I'd like to retrieve the opportunity of singly handle the nuclear fission problem."
"This can't. This is the decision obtained from dozens' head of bureaus, you must not take it singly. To be honest, you have your own ambition. Am I right?" Miss Galinda suspected him, but she did not know he was the main possession of guardian of nightmare.
"What? I won't. I know the decision is made, but this might impress you." Pitch take out a check of 100 million HKD, with a signature of Pitch.
"That's illegal… You try to blind my legal eyes, Miss Elphaba, are you out there?" Miss Galinda shouted loud enough to nearly make the glasses break into thousands segments.
"She is not in here, all your industrious staffs are having nightmares in their dream, even the thunder can't wake them up. I know government lack money to repair the environmental issues. If this benefits you, using the renown of head of Environmental Protection Bureau to save Arendelle, won't it be so detrimental?" Pitch said in a gentle and soft voice.
Miss Galinda hesitated for a while, she knew it was not good, but she had to accept. Otherwise, she must delay the project she amended years before. If she gained those money, all would be well and finished. She had no empty space in her mind to think about where he gain such big amount of money, she accepted.
"I announce you that Arendelle is the only group to monitor the EAC in Corona, with government." Miss Galinda even wondered why she would speak them out. No, Pitch made Galinda dazzled and believed in him.
After Hans's radioactive addictive, what Pitch would try to make the problem even bigger? If government can't stop him, what is the fate of destiny?
On the next day, Hans's body was found in the office of MRD. He stabbed his abdomen, blood flowed out turn the papers into red, all the office was enclosed by the stinky smell. Also, the scandal about Hans and Pitch found by Anna was released by Gossip Press, making a big heat debate over the Arendelle: the most problematic green group as everyone officially- considered. Apparently, the shopping centers' suspected crimes were all dismissed!
After the cleaning the office and removing his body, all the staffs had to re-continue their daily routines of working, ever the shops did not leave, works would come.
"I know him, actually." Anna said to Astrid, she dropped her tears. Although only a few people regretted about his death, his desperate story should be known by everyone, preventing the pessimistic attitude grew anymore.
Astrid was touched, she offered her a friendly hug. Anna released her vigorously sorrowful emotion, cried beside Astrid, about the tragic death of Hans. He died, because of his real identity's discovery, because of her.
No sooner did the superintendent found Anna and ask her for detail proceeding when she was in the office and about the evidences in Hans's email. Even though Pitch was incarcerated temporarily for trials, he let Miss Galinda to save Arendelle, at least Corona was still controlled by Pitch's sidekicks. One thing which was lucky, Santa Claus was found intact, but he had thousands of nightmares when he was slept by the magic.
3 days after, (5 days before the operation date of CCC)
Down the Corona,
"The data come back normal again, and it kept at extremely low level for over 48 hours already, believably the water won't be problematic. Before the operation date, hopefully Heather and Olaf and fellow ambitious and hard-working scientists could follow the research. I stayed with friends here for weeks that made me learnt many, now we would go back the surface and hope that in the future, I would have a chance to cope with this great team!" Mr. Overland said happily, then he groveled before the research team and he was hugged by Maximus, the lovely but hunky manager of EAC.
