Warning : This chapter is written in Tino's P.O.V


My name is Tino Väinämöinen, the Väinämöinen oldest child who grew up separated from the family.

Thirteen years ago, a group of people took the opportunity when i was lost in the city of Tallinn without my parents around, then they took me away to a car with the other children who was in the same situation.

I was sitting in the car with the other children, sobbing. But the boy sitting beside me was not crying, he stared down confused of what to do and how to get out.

They drove us day and night, we did not know where they were going to take us, and what they would do to us, but it was surely going to be a bad one obviously.

I started to make myself hungry by thinking too much, they would tell us to shut up when we ask for some food. My stomach growled, big enough to be heard by the kid beside me.

He turned his head and looked at me, and then pulled out a candy and handed it to me.

"No, you take it." I refused, because he looked hungry himself.

"I'm not hungry, just take it." He kept saying.

"Thank you." I took it from him and ate it to at least stuffing something in my stomach.

"What's your name?" He asked me in Estonian, which when i took a moment to think of what he meant.

"Tino."

"I'm Eduard"

I was kidnapped for two days, they were telling us to shut up when they tried to bring us to Denmark by a ship. But that other boy was brave enough i planned an escape with another kid, which i got along with pretty well as we tried to figure out the way out together.

We tried to run away as what we planned, but he fell and they were already right behind him. I could not do anything beside keep running away, as far as i could.

I snuck into a ship that would bring me to Sweden, hoping i could go home alone from Copenhagen. I had to run away from them as fast as possible, although there was a ship to Helsinki, but they would catch me before i could get into the ship.

Arrived at Malmö, Sweden. I snuck out of the ship and went to the town. Not knowing enough Swedish did not help me go home, i stopped at a station starving. But a woman approached me and took me with her. She has a son that looked around my age, although taller. She did not hesitate to adopt me in the same family she was living with.

She raised me and my foster brother Berwald in the same house and in the same way, going to a Swedish school, and letting us choose our path. When i grew up, i asked her if i could go back to my real family, she found out about my family and said that it was too dangerous if they knew i was back. I did come back to Finland, but i would still repay all their kindness for willingly letting me enter their family.

So i decided to look after my real family from distance, without them knowing where i was, and what i grew up to be.

But still, there was someone i failed to help, and now i did not know how he ends up to be.

"Tino, did you find the location?" Mr. Nieminen asked me, he was the head police who helped me a lot since the beginning i start to work here since last year.

"No.. i just found Tiina Väinämöinen's signal. Which stopped moving to another place five days ago, and i'm not sure if it ends there, she might dropped her phone there." I tried to track the signal of their daughter, who was also my younger sister.

"Are you sure about their plan?" He asked.

"Yes, they use the same method as what they use forty years ago. And now they still going for the treasure, you know, price of diamond is increasing every year as it gets harder to find." I said decisively.

"How did the family not notice about this yet?"

"They play really smooth, and pretend to be the ally. But they left a clue, they did not call any police to come for the family that time, no call received relating to this case.. which is suspicious."

I tried to protect my family by doing my job as a police. Although it was related to my own family, they did not protest for it was also a part of my job. They did not think of me as someone who used his job for a personal matter.

"Tino, who is accompanying her after running away from the house?"

"The neighbors said she was going with her private teacher that night. So that person is probably the one who is still with her now."

"Do you have any idea who they are?"

"No, that's why i need to get going right now. I need some detail, i will come to the house right now."

"Do you need a company? I think Haaraltti could go with you."

"Yes, i would need him there."

I took my coat and asked my co-worker to go with me to the Väinämöinen mansion, or my old house. I thought it was a decent time to show myself now, they would recognize me by seeing face to face. I was curious of what their responses would be like.

"It's been a long time for you, right buddy?" Haaraltti asked while driving.

"Yes.." I smiled, remembering my childhood in that place.

It took an hour to drive to the mansion, and here we were. I looked at the gate and the fences, it changed a bit compared to what it looked like thirteen years ago. I wonder how much change i would see when getting into the house.

I pressed the bell to hear a man talking from the inside.

"Who are you and what is your purpose of coming here?" He asked, he seemed to be the guard.

"I'm Ti- This is the police, we heard that something happened in this house and we would like to hear the detail from the owner." I refrained myself from revealing myself so quickly.

"Alright, you may come in."

The gate was opened widely for us, i could already see the front yard from the entrance. Many things had changed, the way they cut the trees, and lilies were planted, There never was a lily here thirteen years ago. Are they still the same? Or are they also changing?

The maid brought me inside and told me to wait for Mr. Väinämöinen who was actually my father. All the workers here were new that was why they did not recognize my face. I admit I changed as I grew up, but still keeping the same face feature as what I had when I was a child, only looked more mature.

I saw no picture of me hanging on the wall, only my mother, father, and my younger sister, probably they removed the pictures of mine to help them forget all the sadness they got from losing me. My younger sister Tiina, she grew up into a beautiful lady, isn't she? She used to sit on my lap asking me to read a story for her. To know that she was in a danger now, i could not bear to imagine, or having to know the worse.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." I heard a familiar voice coming to the room, so i stood up.

I saw my father coming, he got more wrinkles and grey hair as i expected. His face seemed to try to hold back his worries after what he was going through recently.

"No, sorry to bother you sir. I.. i'm Tino Väinämoinen." I re-introduced myself and showed him my ID card.

"Nice to meet you- wait.. Tino?" He opened his eyes wide open and looked at me, recognizing how similar i am to his son whom he lost thirteen years ago.

"Yes.. I'm back."

My Father did not talk much, tears came out of our eyes. He hugged for the first time in fourteen years, so long as he kept saying 'my son is back' and how he missed me.

"I'm sorry for disappearing. Something happened that time in Tallinn and it was not easy for me to come back.."

"No, it's okay. I'm glad that you are safe now, so many time has passed without you in our family. But you came back.. mother and Tiina would be happy to hear this!"

"But father, there's something i want to tell and ask you.. It's about Tiina and what happened in this house a few days ago."

"Go ahead, son."

"Tiina is not in Finland right now, right? Where is she now? And who is she with?"

"She is in St. Petersburg right now, she has the treasure and it was not safe for her to stay in this country in a time like this. She is with her private teacher there."

"St. Petersburg? And who is the teacher's name?"

"Yes, and the teacher's name is Eduard von Bock."

"..Eduard von Bock?" I raised my eyebrows when i heard the name, it was not the first time i heard that name, and i wonder is it was the same Eduard from thirteen years ago.

"Has any suspect caught from a few days ago?" I asked

"I was still in the hospital, so Mr. Braginsky took care of most of it for me. He called the police station and they said two suspects was caught."

"..Police station? Father, i work in the Central Police Office and there was no data about it, Mr. Braginsky did not call any police station in Helsinki." We got every data of cases and arrestments from every branch in the town. And there was no call from a man named Braginsky, or suspects caught from this case.

"Oh god.. I knew i should not trust them completely.." He froze, knowing in whose side he had trusted his daughter with, or never trusted them completely from the beginning, but he just did not know exactly what to do that time.
