Charade: The Truth About Dad
Chapter 1: We Meet Again

"Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't."
"Singing commercial jingles in the middle of the street?" I jumped. I didn't think anyone was listening to me. I turned around to see who it was.
"Well, I really don't think it is any of your..." I stopped when I realized who it was. "Joshua? What are you doing here?"
"I live in the area, if you must know. I didn't mean to scare you. By the way, I never did catch your name on the beach." he was right, I never told him my name.
"My name is Ling Xiaoyu. You can just call me Xiaoyu."
"What a beautiful name." I couldn't help but smile at his compliment. "It's getting cold Xiao, let me help you with your luggage."
"Thank you Joshua, but we're still 5 or 6 blocks away from where I live. You don't have to help, really. I can do it myself."
"It's ok, Xiao. I want to help. Just lead the way."
"It's Xiaoyu!" Joshua just laughed.

"This is very good tea, Xiao. Where did you learn to make it?"
"Thank you. When I was living with my uncle back home, he taught me many things. This was just another lesson.
"You didn't live with your parents before you came to Japan?" He looked like he genuinely wanted to hear the answer to his question. However, I couldn't just up and tell him what I found out, especially since I hadn't told Miharu yet. Besides, I've only known him no more than a few hours.
"Xiao, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Do you want more tea?" I tried to avoid the subject.
"Xiao come sit next to me." It was almost as if he was demanding that I come to him.
"You know, Joshua, it's getting late. Maybe I'll catch you some other time. I don't have any classes tomorrow, we could go out for lunch or something. " Was I asking him out on a date?
"Actually, how about I take you out to dinner? I'll pick you up around 7:00, if that's ok with you."
"Sure. 7:00 sounds great. See you tomorrow."
"You know Xiao, I really want to get to know you and you me. Don't be afraid to trust me."
"If you honestly feel that way, then I'm sure you will make it happen. I mean, you never quit, right?" I smiled at my comment, but it quickly faded. He was giving me that look again. To be quite honest, the chill sensation felt good.
"Bye Xiao." I knew he wanted to say more, but he left it at that. Maybe I could trust him. Then again, maybe wasn't enough. This was too dangerous to let lust get in the way. Just because he had a perfect body, soft brown eyes, a superb smile, and that sexy deep voice. Hmmm, that voice. Then there was that hair. What was up with that? It was almost as if he used crazy glue to keep it in place. It looked good on him anyway. What time is it? It's later then I thought. I should be getting to bed. I talk to myself too much.

"Did she tell you anything Williams?"
"I tried to get her to talk, but she avoided the subject completely. I'm taking her out to dinner tomorrow night. I'll get something then."
"No, surprise her at her place. It's more likely that she'll talk in her home environment then in a public setting."
"Fine, whatever. All I know is that I want to get all this shit done and over with."
"Why are you in such a hurry? The both of us know all you want is to get into her pants. You don't care about the money. Let me tell you something, Williams. We DESERVE that money. You haven't got the slightest idea what we went through to get that money. Then to have that bastard Lei Fei cheat us out of it. All I'm saying is, don't fuck this up."
"Chase, don't upset him. We need all the help we can get. I'm sorry Williams. But you understand what he is trying to say. 4 million dollars is at stake here. We risked our lives for it once, and we can do it again."
"I got you Patrice. I won't fuck this up as long you don't get in my way, Chase. I do my thing, you do yours, and everybody comes out alive and rich."
"Correction, WE come out alive and rich. You just come out alive."
"Whatever. After the date is done, I'll meet you back here, got it?"
"We got it"
"Good, I'll se you tomorrow then."

YAY! Chapter 1 is done! How did you like it? The third scene might be slightly confusing. But as the story goes, you'll get it. And to answer some questions, Jin is in the mix, don't worry, he's here. And as you already know I'm using names. I just thought the prologue would be a lot better if I didn't use names. And yeah, it was Miharu and Xiaoyu. Oh yes, The Truth About Charlie was a spectacular movie, I recommend it if you're into Thriller and Mystery movies. Everything will mold together nicely as the fic goes on, I hope, lol. Chapter 2 will be out soon. Be on the look out for it.
