“How do they know that you are involved with me?” asked Gray in surprise.
“Flower said my name, that I was the one who found Flynt, umm, I mean Theo. They asked me, but they had no evidence that I had any interest with Flynr, so they let me go and watched me from afar. Later I found out that they were also watching my brother. ”
Gray was inflamed. Kristy sat in front of him crying. “They arrested my brother, Uncle. What should I do? I’m afraid they will hurt him.”
“How could Flower be that stupid? She acted alone and didn’t tell me anything at all,” Gray growled in annoyance. He patted Kristy’s shoulder gently. “Don’t worry, Kris. It doesn’t fit my plan, but I’ll save Flower and your brother.”
Kristu wiped her tears. “What are you going to do? Aren’t they very dangerous people?”
“Take it easy. Uncle already has a plan. We will ambush the doctor on his way to campus. Flynt will definitely come to save him again. At that time I will make Flynt face to face with me. I’ve prepared a lot of evidence for him, which will show who he is.”
“I’m afraid that the plan will not work out well, Uncle. They will definitely be on guard around Flynt and Dean. Then, what about Flower and my brother?”
“Hey, you don’t trust me? I have a lot of people who are loyal to me. Luckily a lot of people have been hurt by the Joaqin family in the past and turned to me,” Gray chuckled. “Your brother is safe, because one of the doctors who treats your brother is my servant. He will make your brother seem in critical condition and take him for examination. He will be taken out of the hospital by another of my men who is waiting in the doctor’s room. We will move him. ”
“What about Flower? She’s being held in the Joaqin family home. Nothing will ever get her out of there.”
“I know where she is being held. I had three of my best men among the guards at the Joaqin house and gave them a clue about the location where Flower was being held. I was part of the family for years, before they betrayed me.”
“Then, what should I do now?”
“Go home and behave normally. I will tell you the location of the new hospital where your brother is after everything is over. I will arrange it well. However, we can find out who and where Theo is thanks to your foresight. You have done a lot to find my son. I will pay your loyalty.”
Kristy stood up and hugged Gray tightly. He sobbed. “Protect my brother, Uncle. I will do anything for you someday, if you can protect my brother from them. You have known my mother for years and you know how loyal she is to Aunt Sovi. I will do the same too.”
Gray stroked Kristy’s head gently. “Go home. I’ll let you know.”
Everyone is already gathered in Will’s penthouse when Kristy enters. Two men were walking behind Kristy, dragging two other men with them and seemingly unconscious.
“They are the people who were sent by Gray to watch over me,” said Kristy, smiling. He immediately sat down next to Bright. “Your bodyguard immediately arrested them not long after I entered my apartment, Bright.”
Bright stroked Kristy’s hair softly and smiled happily. “You are indeed my smart girl. We’ve heard all your conversations with Gray. So now it all depends on Dean and Flynt’s acting. Gray is too confident with his men.”
Dean nodded and patted his jacket. “I’m ready. Peter and Kay are also ready at the hospital. They’ve contacted their father and brother to look after Kristy’s brother.”
Kristy took off the earrings in both ears and handed the tiny flower-shaped object to Will. “Will, can I have it again when you’ve finished checking it? I like these earrings.”
Will laughed and pointed at Bright. “He’d buy you a dozen things like this if you knew how to ask for them. By the way, this is a good things, right?”
“You can get a patent and sell this thing to secret agencies and organizations, bro,” Park said admiring the earrings in Will’s hand. “Maybe develop the main chip so that it can be implanted in other, simpler objects.”
“I’m thinking about making it thinner and more transparent, so that it can be affixed to paper or cloth.”
Flynt shook his head. “Will is a crazy and freak genius. I wonder, with all the weird stuff you create, you still have time to date your fiancee and manage your financial company well.”
Bright smacked his twin on the shoulder proudly. Will takes a very small chip that is implanted in Kristy’s earrings. One chip is a tapping device and the other chip is a recording device. Everyone in the room admired how the two things as big as soybeans captured and recorded all the conversations between Kristy and Gray clearly.
“I also taped the bug to Gray’s wheelchair when he hugged me. We’ll hear whatever he says,” said Kristy.
“Then we’d better all go back to our places now, so Gray doesn’t get suspicious,” Bright said. He patted Dean and Flynt’s shoulders gently. “You guys go back to Flynt’s apartment. I’m sure Gray will ambush you tomorrow morning. He must already know your class schedule and your habit of going alone to campus on Wednesdays.”
Everyone returned to their places. Dean and Flynt spend time like a normal date, watching and having dinner before returning to Flynt’s apartment. They know, there are several people who have followed them since they left the mall. They exchanged smiles. For every single person who follows them, there are two people who also follow the stalker Gray sent.
Flynt and Dean hugged on the bed, sharing warmth through little kisses and touches here and there. They decide to postpone making love tonight, saving energy.
“You have to promise to be careful, Dean. Don’t act alone if it’s not possible. Gray may be in a wheelchair, but he’s not someone whose easy to beat.”
“Yes, dear. I will be careful. Don’t worry. Your brother has deployed so many people to guard us and everyone is not just anyone. I was even shocked to learn that more than half of the engineering students are part of Joaqin’s army. You are incredible.”
“My father started scholarship programs at several major universities in New York since my first kidnapping attempt was at the age of 2 months. Not only for college, my father also created employment and welfare guarantees for the scholarship recipients. With all of that, those who received assistance from him, mostly finally surrender their allegiance to Joaqin. ”
“No wonder the Joaqin empire is getting bigger and bigger. And its amazing because I’m dating one of them.”
Flynt laughed and squeezed Dean’s butt. “Not just a boyfriend. I’ll propose to you soon.”
Dean smiled with sleepy eyes and muttered in Flynt’s chest. “Sounds an interesting idea, Babe.”
The next morning, Dean walked down to the parking area on the lower floor of Flynt’s apartment and drove Flynt’s car to campus. Three men ambushed Dean as he got out of the car, at the end of the medical school parking area. Dean pressed one of his shirt buttons and activated the bug. An alarm went off on every cell phone of those who were on standby when Dean pressed it.
Flynt took his motorcycle keys from the nightstand in the bedroom and muttered “It’s time. Wait there, Dean. I’ll pick you up.”
