Charade: The Truth About Dad
Chapter 3: Jin Kazama Part 1
"Something told me I shouldn't have come home. So what are you going to do now, Xiaoyu? If he's involved with those people this Jin Kazama warned you about then you're in some real trouble." Miharu was right, if Joshua or Williams or whatever his name is happens to be one of them, I had some work cut out for me.
"Well, first off I need to find out if his name is really Williams."
"And how, my dear, do you plan to do this?"
"I told you it's been a week since our 'date'. Everyday on my way home from classes, I see him go into the store by the alley. Same time everyday, too. So, I thought, I'll get the number to the store, and ask the clerk if a man by the name of Mr. Williams is there. If the clerk gives it to him, then I have my answer."
"Ok, sounds good, but have you thought about what's gonna happen after that?"
"No..." Why does she always have to find a fault in my plans.
"Just be careful ok? Listen, my phone card's almost up. If you need any help, just call over my parent's house. Please don't hurt yourself, Xiaoyu, I'm serious." The word 'serious' rarely came out of Miharu's mouth.
"Don't worry, I'll be ok." At least I hope so. But what if Miharu was right? What if Josh-Williams IS connected to one of those people from the picture? My mind went back to the meeting I had with Mr. Kazama..
*Begin Flashback*
"Pardon me, but are you Ling Xiaoyu?" I just finished grocery shopping when a strange man stopped me.
"Uhm, yeah, that's me. Who wants to know?"
"Come with me, we have some important information to discuss." The peculiar man led me to the nearby carnival.
"What the hell do you want to discuss at an amusement park?" This was just too odd. All I wanted was to enjoy my box of Hot Pockets with some kool-aid. It didn't look that was going to happen because we arrived at the Ferris wheel. Sure enough, we got on. Why was I even following him anyway?
"So you're Ling Xiaoyu."
"Duh, I just finished telling you that" So he was weird AND slow. "Now who the heck are you?"
"Ma'am, my name is Jin Kazama. I work for the CUS, Canadian Underground Services."
"I'm Canadian by birth and I've never heard of that organization." I did not bother to add that I only lived there for the first 3 yr. of my life.
"That's because you're not supposed to know about it unless you have ties to our organization."
"Well I don't have any, so what do you want with me?"
"Ahh, but you're wrong. Your father's name is Fei Ling, correct?"
"Yes, how do know mine or my father's name anyway?" I wish he would hurry up and get to the point. We're almost to the halfway point on the wheel.
"Xiaoyu, your father's real name is Lei Fei. As you may or may not know, he served in the Gulf War. He made three friends while in Boot Camp; Patrice Walker, Chase Conroy, and Richard Williams. They were trained as rescue units. During a mission, the four stumbled across 4 million dollars."
"So THAT'S where he got that money from." He changed his name? I wonder what for. Now this Kazama guy had my full attention.
"Yes, the same money in his will that he left for you. However, that's not where the story end."
"Go on, I won't interrupt anymore." This was too bizarre. My gut feelings from before were starting to be proven correct.
"Everyone agreed that Williams was to hold the money until the war was over. Your father, Lei Fei, was injured and sent home. So before he left, the three gave the money to him to hold on to until the war was over. The agreement was that the people who survived would split the money up equally and everyone would live happily ever after. But your father had other plans. He wanted the money for himself. When he arrived back in the US, he married, moved to Canada,"
"And changed his name." I finished.
"Exactly. Your father was very smart and he knew that the remaining three would come after him and eventually find him. So when your mother left him 3 yr. after they married, he took that as an opportunity to fake his death, give you a chance to live a normal life, and keep the money away from Walker, Williams, and Conroy."
"So where does the CUS come into play." This was crazy, can I believe this guy?
"As you can probably tell, we work with Underground dealings. Lei Fei did some work with us and ended up in debt of the amount of 4 million dollars."
"What a coincidence." Yeah right, I knew better. They probably suckered my father into something. "What was this dealing?"
"I'm afraid I can't let you know that information, Xiaoyu"
"Ok, fair enough. So my father is not dead then?" If was still alive, he could provide even better answers. But the look on Kazama's face answered my question.
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, but your father was murdered about a year ago."
"Murdered? Do you know who did it?" I know I should be more concerned, but I never knew the guy to be attached to him.
"Not yet."
"What about the 4 million dollars, he said he'd have it arranged to be sent to me. Where is it?"
"You have it, Xiaoyu. You just don't know it. The CUS knows it and Walker and Conroy know it, and they'll come after you and they'll keep coming until they have what they want."
"How do you know I have the money and where the hell is it? And what about the Williams guy? You only named two of the three. I'm telling you I don't have it, they're gonna come after me in vain."
"You have it." He repeated. "As for Williams, he died in the battlefield."
"You keep saying I have the money, where is it Kazama, where!" I was getting frustrated. His calmness was too annoying. My father's secret was just revealed to me, then I find out he was murdered, and God knows if that murderer wants me dead as well and two war veterans are gonna come after me for money I don't even have. And he has the nerve to act like this is an everyday situation!
"You have some of your father's old belongings. Go through them and figure it out yourself. Look hard at the planner. Just a little hint."
"Ok, whatever. The ride's almost over, do you happen to have a picture of Walker and Conroy?" If some crazed people are going to come after me, I at least want to know what they look like.
"I almost forgot, I'm glad you asked." He pulled out a picture from his suit pocket. "Patrice is the African American female, Conroy is the Caucasian male and of course your father is the third man." I took a good look at them. Yup, that was my dad alright, I look just like him.
"I know you told me he was dead, but where's Williams?" I didn't like how this guy kept on disappearing from the equation.
"He's the one who took the picture."
"Oh, ok. He's dead, I suppose I don't need to know what he looked like." I still felt a little uneasy. I think Kazama got wind of this because of what he said next.
"Xiaoyu, when the money is in the hands of the CUS, you'll be safe. Just hurry up and find it. Give me a call if you need anything at all. Day or night, I'll answer, it's my cell number." He reached back into his suit and pulled out a business card.
"Ok, I'll be sure to call. Thanks a lot Mr. Kazama. You've answered so many of my questions, I can't thank you enough." I lied, he just gave me a million more, but I decided to wait til' later to have them answered.
"All in a days work. We don't want to hurt you, we just want our money."
"I understand."
"Oh, and one more thing. I know you're a college student, part time, correct?"
"Yes, why?"
"Well I know this was just a smack in the face. So why don't you take a break. Here are two tickets to the Caribbean. Take a friend and relax before you take on this task." That was greatest thing I'd heard his say this whole time.
"Thank you so much Jin, I appreciate it."
"No problem."
*End Flashback*
Something just clicked in. Williams is supposedly dead. So Joshua slash Williams can't be the same guy, right? I have to hurry up and find out who this man is and give Mr. Kazama a call.

This chapter took *forever* to write, but here it is, done and over with. I know it seems like Xiaoyu just keeps on running off with strange men, but the story moves faster without her putting up a fight, lol. Thank you Misao Seta, I hope so too ^_^. And I also hope everyone else is enjoying my story as much as kOnEkO-cHaN is. You know, I didn't even notice I didn't space anything, sorry about that. But I'm too lazy to go back and change these past few chapters, however this one and the rest of the chapters will be. Don't be sorry, I'm open to any kind of help everyone can give me. I also hate when authors portray Xiaoyu as a dumb little girl who tries to put m&m's in alphabetical order. Chapter 4 is just around the corner. Bye for now,
