Sunday 7:00 pm

We boarded Air Flight 2034 promptly before takeoff. The airplane base is

located exactly southeast of HQ reserved only for CSI purposes. Used only

when agents get transferred or have to travel to another region to get a better

tracking on their target. But because my mom was head commissioner, we

had our own private plane.

When had taken off, I turned to my mom. "How long until we reach?"

"Precisely 4 hours is there's no air traffic." I nodded and turned back around

to check on Scarlet who was already asleep. I took in a deep breath and

faced forward to look out the window. The thought of getting transferred to

California to be enlisted into a new agency didn't worry me at all, it's been

happening for as long as I can remember. It was only the thought of seeing

the man that has the life of my father in his hand, how I would react once we

finally catch him and reveal his face. It bothered me more that I didn't know

anything about him. I could pass him on the street and not even have the

slightest idea that it was him. It was hard not telling anyone how I felt and

what I thought, even Scarlet, but she and everyone else had the grace not to

ask. All accept it, all but my mom.

"You worried about catching him, aren't you?" she whispered so she

wouldn't wake Scarlet. I sighed and nodded. This is the time when mom

acted like a mother instead of my boss.

"Yes. I just don't know if I'll be able to handle it when we catch him." I said

finally speaking the truth. She cringed at the thought and that's how I knew

that she was feeling the same way. She always had a problem with showing

her feelings especially after my father's death. Those were one of the traits

that I had inherited from her. That and determination. The rest, like she had

told me, were from my dad. I cleared my thought as she began to speak. And

with the way her voice sounded, I knew she wasn't just telling it to me, but

also herself.

"I know, but it's the right thing to do. You were trained to control your

feelings. This is the missions above all missions for you, it's time for you to

see if you're as good as you seem.." I silently nodded, not knowing if she

was going to continue or not. I looked at her face that was once happy and

warm, but now cold and straight. She hides her emotions through her face

when she talks about dad. Never wanting people to know, not even her own

son. But because of my father's curiosity, I pressed on.

"How do you feel about this?" she took in a deep breath, but her face stayed

the same.

"It's not only about feeling as much as it is about doing. It's about giving

justice to your father." She stopped then turned to me and looked me straight

in my eyes, seeing my father.

"It will finally put me to rest. I will sleep soundly at night. When we find

him, I will know that my job is done." I looked back at her.

"Are you going to kill him?" I searched her eyes for answers, but then she

looked away.

"Get some sleep Jack. We have to be at school early in the morning to sign

you up." I sighed as she rejected my question. I knew she would but I hoped

she wouldn't. My mom tried to calm me, but it just made me even more

frantic. I turned back around to face the window as I saw her close her eyes.
