Erin woke up to a cigar filled room. She tried to focus her blurry eyes on the figures in the room but the medication was too strong “Miss Yeung, what a pleasure it is to finally meet you.”
She didn’t recognize the voice, but she knew who it was “Robert Kwok.”
He laughed giddily “Devin, I’m sorry I doubted you. She is bright!”
Her eyes snapped over to the other figure leaning against the corner of Robert’s desk. They were staring at her like a piece of meat. Her arms were chained together and she was too weak to move “Don’t even think about struggling. The medication I gave you is not just any ordinary sleeping pill. It’s specially made by one of the top anesthesia medication in the world.”
“What do you want?” she asked, her vision was returning.
Chris stood in the dark corner, glaring at her with angry eyes “Kill you, what else?” he answered. She turned to him with a laugh “What’s so funny?” he asked.
“I didn’t know dogs were allowed to bark.” She quipped.
He charged at her “You bitch! I can kill you right here, just like I did to your sister!” he reached for her neck but before he even touched her a gun was pointed to his head.
“You fucking come near her again and I’ll blast your brains out.” Devin threatened.
Robert stood up with a calm laugh “Now, now... men, we should not turn against each other for a woman. Must I remind you, Devin that there are more important things to do?”
Chris moved away from Erin and retraced to his place in the corner while Devin retrieved his gun “She’s mine. I captured her, she’s my prisoner.” He said darkly.
“Of course.” Robert agreed quickly “Chris, you are not to disturb Miss Yeung.”
“Yes, sir.” Chris replied obediently.
“Shall we discuss our plans?” Robert asked Devin with a welcoming grin.
He raised a brow “Maybe later.” Turning to Erin, he reached his arms under her knees and neck as he picked her up with ease. She didn’t have the strength to fight back.
"Sir, why do you fear him?" Chris asked after Devin left with Erin.
Robert's dark gaze returned "I don't. I could kill him if I wanted to...but we have a plan to carry out. Once I'm finished using him, you can do anything you want with him."
"With pleasure." Chris replied with a laugh.
Devin took her to a room in the basement. It looked like a torture center, weapons and whips lined up on the walls “Robert has a fetish.” He seemed to read her mind without trying.
“I didn’t ask.” She snickered.
“My bad.” He smiled the same smile she had learned to recognize. He chained her to the ready chains attached to the wall “Aren’t you going to ask me?”
She refused to look at him “Ask you what?”
“Ask me why I took you here.” He replied casually while making himself comfortable on a seat across from her, a small round table next to him “Ask me what my relation is with Joe.”
Erin shook her head with a sarcastic smile “I don’t know why I even trusted you.”
“Did you?” he asked with surprise “Funny, I had the impression that you hated my guts. Erin Yeung hated to lose in any fight or battle.”
Her smile faded “How do you know so much?”
“I thought it was obvious?” he raised his brows “Joe told me.” Her eyes moved away while he got up and walked closer to her until they were inches away from touching “If you ask me again, maybe I’ll tell you.”
“I wouldn’t believe you if you told me.” Her eyes moved to his. They were full of hatred and anger, he knew if she wasn’t medicated or chain, he would have a hard time beating her this time.
He nodded understandingly “I deserved that. Anyways, business awaits. I shall be back later to check on you.”
“Why did you do it?” Erin asked suddenly.
“Money.” He replied shortly.
She shook her head “No, I mean protect me from Chris.”
He shrugged casually “Nothing special. I just don’t like the bastard. Anyways, we have more plans for you. If he killed you, who will we use as bait to get the team to come here?”
“Go to hell!” she cried angrily.
He reached his fingers around her jaw and held it still while he pressed his lips over hers. She struggled but he was much stronger. When he finally moved away, he noticed her nose was flaring and she looked ready to kill “Hmm, what a waste.” With that, he turned and left the room. Again, she felt ready to explode.
*************
Later that night when Jenna was busy in the kitchen, Luke came home to a sweet vegetable aroma “Wow, that smells even better than my crab!” he called into the kitchen.
Jenna peeked her head out from the kitchen “Thanks!”
“Is everyone home?” he asked while throwing his keys onto the coffee table.
Reina appeared from the stairwell “I just got home and Doug is still asleep. I don’t know about Erin.”
“Really? That’s not like her to just go without leaving us a message.” Luke analyzed.
Reina wasn’t the least bit worried “She’s a tough girl, she can take care of herself. Let’s ask Jenna, she was the last to see her, I think.”
The two trailed into the kitchen “Hey Jenna, did you see Erin today?”
She was tasting her tomato and veggie soup when she looked up “Yeah, she dropped off five bags of food. Then she said she would be back for dinner.”
Luke turned to Reina “I’m worried.”
She too was a little worried, but refused to believe something bad had happened to Erin “Let’s wait it out.”
Doug finally woke up from a lazy day in bed, he was mentally exhausted and it felt great to sleep without someone yanking him up at seven on a Saturday morning. He let out a long yawn and got off of bed to wash up. He walked down the hall with his hand scratching his back and butt. Doug didn’t notice a little charm on the floor as he stepped directly over it, startled he jumped back. He focused on the small object and when he picked it up, he noticed it was a necklace “Who would throw things around the house like this?!” he cried with annoyance for the charm poked his feet.
He marched downstairs and into the kitchen where he could hear them talking “Ooh, look it’s the boogie man.” Jenna pointed at the frumpy and dirty looking Doug.
“Oh, you think that’s funny?” Doug smiled “Fine, I guess I’ll just toss this!” he held the chain while the charm dangled from the ends.
“Hey! How did you find that? Joe gave that to me for my twenty fourth birthday” Jenna exclaimed while she touched her neck “When did I lose it?”
He cradled it into his palm with a laugh “You dropped it on the hallway and I stepped on it, nearly killed me. I could have toppled over the banister and crashed onto the tile floor, guts out and all.”
“You can get that from stepping on a cross necklace?” Jenna flicked her left brow up.
“Sure, anything’s possible.” Doug opened his palm to look at the chain again “Hey…this looks like a key.”
Reina frowned as she pulled out a hand and he placed it on her palm “It does look different.” She held it up to the light “The end is a little jagged.”
Jenna looked around for a towel but reached for Luke’s t-shirt instead. He looked disgusted while she said “It’s just water.” She walked over to Reina to look closer “It’s too new to have jagged edges, anyways, it never left my neck.”
“Maybe it opens something?” Luke asked. The three turned to him while he looked confused “Stupid question?”
“No, good one.” Jenna nodded as she waved for the three to follow her to her room “Joe never told me that this was a key, but maybe he wanted me to discover it somehow.”
“Do you have any boxes? Jewelry cases or makeup boxes?” Reina asked.
Jenna pulled out the boxes from under her bed, Doug opened the lid and began searching for small locked boxes “Not that I know of.” Jenna said as she crawled under the bed to pull out another box.
“Jesus, how many boxes do you have under there?” Reina exclaimed in shock after the fifth one was shown.
“Too many.” Jenna laughed “Okay, last one.” She yanked the heaviest one out.
They searched for a while but could not find anything that matched the key. Doug circled the room while the three went over the items in the boxes again. He’s seen the type of key before, it didn’t just open boxes, it opened cases in walls and frames used to hide flat objects. He found a peculiar framed picture of Jenna and Joe on the bedside “Is this new?”
Jenna looked up “Yeah, he bought it for me this year too.”
Doug flipped the frame in a circle motion, a smile crossed his face when he found the left horizontal side had a small incision “By George, I think I’ve found it.”
“What?” Jenna bounced from her seat with Reina and Luke joining her on the bed.
Doug reached for the key in Jenna’s hand “We turn it like so…and presto.” The framed popped open from the wooden part. Inside was a small microchip, it was clear and plain looking "Thank you, thank you." Doug smiled proudly.
“What is it?” Luke asked in wonder.
Reina picked it up with her finger “A computer chip.”
“What do you think it is?” Jenna asked curiously “What does it contain?”
“Only one way to find out.” Doug took the chip from Reina’s hand and rushed into Erin’s room, which had a computer. He pulled the rectangular shaped box from it’s place and pushed the chip into a USB socket “If I’m not mistaken, this is the latest technology information chip. It can hold up to 20 GB, almost the same amount as a regular computer carries.
“I had no idea you were a geek.” Reina commented while Jenna laughed.
He only smiled at the insult “Don’t be jealous because you don’t know what GB means.”
“You got me there.” Reina sighed.
The four stood back while the computer booted. Doug sat in the chair as he used the mouse to navigate on the desktop. He pulled out the correct file and opened it. Inside the file was another 10 file folders. Each labeled in alphabetical order “Should we start with A?” he said more to himself as he opened it “What have we here…”
“It’s the articles about the P.R.A.!” Jenna pointed “Scroll down!” she instructed hurriedly.
“Patience my little grasshopper.” Doug said calmly as he pulled the screen down. Joe had typed up notes about the event “Ron Kwok, caught in a drug bust. With days of investigation, Interpol has concluded that the 49 year old was responsible for forming the P.R.A. He has said little about this team of Chinese thieves. England has cramped down on foreign visitors especially if the origin is Chinese.”
“Wow…” Luke sighed “What does that mean?”
Reina turned to him “It means Robert Kwok is behind all this in revenge for his father’s arrest. He’s serving life in prison and it’s his way of claiming back the team that once belonged to his father.”
“But Joe used the name for good.” Jenna pointed out.
“Precisely.” Doug smiled “Let’s look at the other folders, shall we?” he opened the next one “Old memoirs. Pictures of when he was in high school.” He scrolled down and came upon an odd picture.
“Joe, Devin and Robert Kwok.” Reina said “They look close.”
“Joe’s in the middle.” Jenna pressed her finger on the screen “He’s always in the middle.” She noticed after Doug scrolled the pictures down “What do you think it means?”
“The other two wanted him to have bad luck?” Luke suggested.
Reina shook her head at the naïve man “No, it means he’s the mediator. Without him, the other two won’t get along.” She crossed her arms and turned back to Doug “Open another one.”
Doug nodded and opened the files, most of which were information about the agents that had joined the P.R.A. since it was developed. The last folder contained information that the group would never expect. Jenna’s eyes popped open “Oh my God…” she gasped.
