Charade: The Truth About Dad
Chapter 6: The Money Is Found

It has been a week since Patrice died. They sent her home to be buried while Jonathan, Chase and I held a mini service in her name. I'm not scared of death, but to have someone die in your arms is an experience that stays with you for a lifetime. In addition, I couldn't shrug off her last words, well word actually. 'Williams'.

"Hello, Jonathan?"

"Hey Xiao, how are you feeling? It seems like I haven't spoke to you in forever." It had only been a week. Moreover, in that week, I grew more suspicious of Jonathan as the minutes past.

"Uhm, I'm ok I guess. Don't worry about me. Anyway, could you tell me about your relationship with Patrice? I was just wondering because it seemed like the two of you didn't talk much." I added that last part quickly so he wouldn't get suspicious.

"Well, you know, it was strictly business. Outside of that business, there wasn't much to discuss. It may not seem like it, but I'm affected by her death. However, not like Chase, he's real torn up." Chase was quite miserable. They had been through a lot together. After my father betrayed them, and Richard Williams died, they only had each other left. You don't just come back from war and begin life all over again. It takes time, and only people who were in war with you understand that. It has to hurt losing the only person you have in this world that understands you. "The only reason he didn't go to her funeral was because of unfinished business." That reminded me, I still hadn't found the money.

"That's terrible. But if I find the money, maybe he'll make it time to go to her funeral."

"Let's hope so. Take care Xiao, call me if you need anything."

"Yeah, bye."

I've looked through this planner SO many times. How could 4 million dollars be so hard to locate? Why in the world hadn't he just sent it to me? Maybe before he was about to die he was going to send it to me and never got the chance. However, I have his last pieces of mail here and I don't see anything that suspicious. I'll look through the planner one more time; maybe I'm missing something.

I grabbed the planner and accidentally dropped it. Shit, the binder broke. Hey, wait a sec, what's that I see sticking out of it? Oh my gosh.

"Jin Kazama."

"Mr. Kazama, I found the money. Why didn't you just tell me it was in the binder?"

"Because Xiaoyu, I wanted you to find it yourself."

"I don't see why, it was such a big deal, it's just a bunch of." He cut me off.

"Look Xiaoyu, you found it, what do you have to complain about now!"

"Don't get loud with me, I was simply asking you a question that you're refusing to answer because you know it has a stupid answer. You were playing games. You probably just want it for yourself. For all I know the CUS could be a bunch of bull shit." He didn't respond for a while.

"Meet me on the corner of 4th street with the money." Then he hung up. I shouldn't bring the money or even go just for that. But I don't have a choice, either way someone was going to come after it. I'll bring Jonathan and Chase with me. This Charade is coming to an end.

This was a shorter chapter, I know, and it wasn't too eventful, but the finale is coming up! Hopefully that'll be a lot better. I think I'll have a final chapter and an epilogue, I haven't quite decided on that yet. Plus all your questions will be answered finally! Thanx for sticking with me, even though there was only 5 of you reading, it's better than none, lol. Take care,
