"Yup, and the first place is ..."

"Botanic gardens!"

"What?" James eyed Apple curiously, "I didn't know a Tom-boy actually like Nature."

Apple blushed furiously, "Why can't I like Nature?"

James shrugged, "Because... You don't look like it."

Apple pouted and pushed James forward. Perhaps Apple pushed James a little to hard, James fell straight into a plump man. James bounced off and landed on the ground. Apple guffawed. She laughed so much she was gasping for air. James rubbed his head and glanced up, giving Apple his famous look.

James apologised to the plump man and he turned around. It was a man with chubby cheeks and a grin that looked fixed on his face. Looking closely, he had a multi-millionaire aura as his coat sparkled with diamond buttons. James stared at him mouth agape.

"Why hello. I am Benjamin."

Apple's mouth dropped. "You-you-you-you! That building. Benjamin. Nano-carbon!" Apple could not finish her sentence.

The plump man rolled his eyes however, with that grin still fixed on his face, "Yes, me. The great Benjamin Toh."

Although James nerves was tingling with pain, he smiled. He reached his hand out, "Nice to meet you, Mr Benjamin."

*

"So you're James Phang."

James nodded his head, not touching the steak on his plate.

"And you're... Apple Phang."

Apple smiled slightly while stuffing a piece of steak in the mouth.

"Hey, hey. There's no poison in the steak, you know."

James tittered but said nothing. He had to be cautious of a man who had built a highly dangerous hotel. He took the cutlery up gently and started to cut the meat up into small cubes.

"So, whatddoyou wanna know?"

"About?"

"Me! The great Benjamin Toh is right in front of you and you aren't gonna ask me anything?"

James placed the silver cutlery down and leaned forward, his face was approximately 5cm away from the ever-grinning face.

"So tell me, why did you want to use nano-carbon to build the hotel?"

*
Mr Resh sat on his rolling chair and flipped the pages of the file. Mrs Raine was sucking onto a coffee sweet and she asked, "Do you think James will..."

"No," Mr Resh replied almost immediately.

Mrs Raine bit onto her own lips, "It's just.. He is just a kid."

"And so is Peter."

Mrs Raine fell silent. Her eyes were wet. Mr Resh glanced up and saw Mrs Raine's expression.

"I didn't mean whatever you thought I meant!"

Mrs Raine answered firmly, "There is no need for an apology."

"I'll tell you a joke then. If simpleton meant a man who is simple minded, what is a plankton?"

"Someone was planks?"

"Nope. It's the type of creature that is in Spongebob, that plankton."

The room grew very silent.

"Did James give his update?" Mr Resh asked, flipping his file.

"Yes. He had met with Benjamin Toh."

Mr Resh's eyebrows shot up. "Fire away!"

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The security guard looked around the nano-hall. There was no one in plain sight. He could spot some blind spots not captured by their CCTV. For once, he was tempted to approach them one by one and search them. Yet, he did not do so. He spoke to the walkie talkie in fluent Mandarin, "Checked." He gave the hall one last look and climbed the stairs up to the next floor.

Apple and James breathed. James removed the hand covering Apple's mouth. She stared daggers at James and he shrugged. Apple had wanted to scream when she heard footsteps. James searched for blind spots and grabbed Apple over. It all happened within 5 seconds. Apple had to admit that James was skilled. Not just fast and swift, he could understand Mandrian too. Apple assumed that when James did not ask what the security had said to the walkie talkie.

James scrunched his eyebrows together and looked around.

"Wanna walk around some more?"

Apple shook her head reluctantly as she glanced at her watch. It's already almost 3a.m! She tapped at her watch and James placed his two palms together as if praying. He pleaded Apple to give him another hour. Apple knew he had to take care of this boy and nodded. James punched into the air and gestured to the staircase.

*
"Let me sleep a few more hours..."

"Wake up!" Someone shook Apple again.

Apple rolled her body to the other side but the someone shook her again. Apple slammed her fist down her bed and straightened up, "What is it!" She saw a grinning James and sighed. She rubbed her eyes and told him, "give me 10." James nodded and skipped out of the room. Apple sighed. She did not know why was James so enthusiastic to go around Singapore. They reached home at 5a.m that day after exploring most of the nano-carbon hotel. Apple was exhausted and James had to piggy back her the way home. James did not complain a single word.

Apple bathed and wore a new set of clothes. She smiled. Time to go.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

James placed one foot on the fence and glanced behind. He smirked slightly when he saw Apple running over. James jumped back down and patte dust off his jeans, "so my little coward has decided to join me in my great plan?" Apple blushed, "What? I was trying to be..." James cocked an eyebrow. "Alright! I was scared! This place has top security after all! And why'd you so interested in the building?" It was James' turn to be lost for words. "Hey, curiosity is part of me.It takes up 90% of my normal activities." And that ended the conversation.

James climbed up the fence steadily. He placed one foot over the top of the fence and steadied himself. He glanced at Apple and reached a hand out to her. Apple started to whine but she took the hand all the same. With a huff, James pulled Apple over and she sat on the top of the fence beside James, one leg on each side of the fence.

"Jump down, then break fall." James whispered. Apple nodded. Apple stood up slowly and jumped. When she landed on the ground, she rolled over the back to break her fall. She stood up unsteadily and did a thumbs up to James. James jumped and did the same thing Apple had done except more elegantly and professionally. The duo stepped towards the corridor slowly. James heard footsteps and pulled Apple behind a wall. He glanced over his shoulder and saw two guards patrolling. He placed one finger on his lips and showed to Apple who replied with a nod. The two guards shone their torchlights at their direction but did not spot them and continued walking. The duo heaved a sigh of relief.

"Here, follow me."

James took the lead and walked towards the nearest stairs. Apple followed behind him while tugging onto his shirt. James gave Apple a gesture to follow him up the stairs and they climbed.

One flight... Two... Three... Ten... Fifteen... Twenty... Twenty-two...

"Hey, how many flights of stairs are we climbing?" Apple whispered through gasps.

James whispered back with no signs of being tired at all, "We're here."

Apple looked up at the sign and it wrote: Nano-hall. Apple glanced at James whose eyes sparkled and she took a small glance at the hall. Apple stifled a scream. The hall was beautiful. No, gorgeous. No, beyond comparison to any other places. The hall was slightly smaller than the marina bay sands show hall. This hall was decorated with little carvings of words from different languages. Starting with words that starts with the alphabet "A". James smiled at Apple and pointed to the lights. Apple now realized that the lights are glowing of different colours. The colours was those of the rainbow and it changes like those disco balls only the colours in this hall are more gentle and kind to the eyes. Apple shuffled her feet and realized the floor was carpeted with a red carpet with gold words on it. With a closer look, those gold words are words from a dictionary with different languages too. Must be the same with those on the walls, Apple thought.

James laid down flat on his back on the carpet, "Cool isn't it?" He turned his head to look at Apple. Apple nodded her head, still lost for words. Just then, they heard footsteps behind them.

Chapter Twelve

"THAT'S MINE!"

"NO IT'S MINE!"

"NONE OF YOURS, MINE!"

The three was fighting over a ticket to get into the hotel. That was the first thing James saw. Not just that, there were hundreds, no, thousands doing the same thing in front of the front door. That was disappointing, James thought, I thought Singapore wouldnt be like this...

Apple, as though read his mind, said, "Hey kiddo, Singapore is famous for these things, alright?" James shook his head, "Let's get out of here." Apple nodded.

"Why are you named Apple?" James asked.

Apple dropped her fry. They were eating in Macdonalds near Raffles Place. Apple arched an eyebrow and James replied hastily, "Just wondering."

"Just wondering. And yet there's always a little curiosity behind each 'just wondering'." Apple said softly.

"Hmm?" James glanced at Apple while stuffing the burger into his mouth. Apple tittered and replied, "'Cause I had an older brother - blood related, mind you- and my mum named him Pear because that was the first word he learnt after mum and dad." James guffawed, "Then the first word you learned was Apple?" Apple arched an eyebrow and replied and placed a small fry into her mouth," No. She thought it would be fun to name me Apple."

James went into silent fits of laughter. "Alright," He grinned at her. Apple rolled her eyes and asked with a smirk, "How about you, Jamesy? Why did your parents named you with such a common name?" James placed his burger down and looked at Apple with a sad look. Apple bit her lips and wondered if she asked a wrong question. "It's okay if you dont want to tell me..." She added. James shook his head and picked up the burger again, "It's alright. They passed away, I don't know. According to my..." James stopped and choked back a sob, "sister, she told me that my dad always fancied having a normal son with a common name and we will live a humble life."

Apple did not say anything and glanced at James who was busy stuffing food into his mouth. "Are you that hungry?" James nodded his head. Apple smiled, "Me too."

And they gobbled their food down their throats hungrily.

*

"Hey, when are you going to leave?" Apple asked James. James cocked an eyebrow and replied with a smirk," Why? Going to miss me?" Apple smiled, "Of course not! After you leave, people will look at me as if I'm normal again!" James choked on his salivia, "Say What?" Apple chuckled softly.

James glanced up the majestic building. It was the nano-carbon hotel. They decided that there would be less crowd if they visit it again at night. Midnight, to be exact. James was awed by the delicate cravings on the hotel sides. He wondered if the PSI has wronged this Benjamin man. Apple was equally awed by the building and was standing open mouthed beside James. James was the first to recover.

"Come on, let's go in." Apple looked as if she got slapped, "What? Go-go-go in? What? I mean, this place is security packed! It has top security!" James ignored her comment and was already striding towards to back door. Apple stood there and folded her arms, "I'm not going in!" James continued walking towards the back door. Apple pouted and ran over,"Hey! Wait up!"

CHAPTER ELEVEN

"JAMES! TIME TO WAKE UP!"

James simply ignored the call and turned to face the other side.

"DO YOU WANT ME TO STORM UP THERE NOW?"

James opened his eyes groggily and sat up. He rubbed his eyes then glanced at the watch on his hand. It was only seven in the morning. He almost fell back onto his bed but e realized he should go down.

He opened the storeroom down and faced an angry Apple.

"Hey, wassup."

"What's up?" Apple raised an eyebrow, "it took me 10minutes to wake you up!"

James opened his mouth to protest but Apple shut his up with her famous glare. James apologized and Apple turned and walked away. James sighed and followed her down.

On the table laid bread with sunny side up.

"What's this?" James glanced at Apple. She replied as she went over to the seat, "Breakfast." James grimaced and sat down. It was rude if he commented. "Was it made by you? Breakfast." Apple replied with her mouth full of food," gause ke keeint li."James raised an eyebrow,"What?" Apple swallowed her food and said, "Cause it isn't me." "Then who was it?" Apple smiled and said,"Tastes horrible isn't it? I know right." James rolled his eyes, "And I know left." Apple chuckled softly.

*
"Where are we going?" Apple asked. "Of course, it's the site where the new nano-carbon building is." Apple raised her eyebrow. James chuckled and replied, "I'm interested in the architecture." Apple shook her head," I prognosticate a disappointment." "Why?" Apple shook her head again.

James saw his disappointment.

CHAPTER TEN


James fished out the items in the secret compartment and was utterly disappointed. It was those daily items they see everyday. A notebook, a pen, a packet of NERDS and a pack of plasters. Just when James was feeling disappointed, his phone rang. It showed an unknown number.


"Hello, This is James."


"Hello James. This is Professor Dare from the PSI science unit."


"Oh, may I know the reason you are calling?"


"Nothing much. Just realised you have touched the secret compartment of the bag. I've placed a sensor there to inform me if anyone touched it."


"..."


"Anyway, I bet you are disappointed about the items you found in there, right ?"


"... How did you know?"


"I had learned some voice psychology too."


"And..." Suddenly James' face lit up. "Don't tell me you called to tell me those are gadgets!"


"Alright, then I shall not tell you."


"Ah? No. No. No! That's not what i meant!!"


"Haha. I understand. Alright, i have little time with you. Now, touch the pen you fished out from the compartment."


"Yes."


"There are several grooves at the handle of the pen, right? Now remember carefully, this pen is an anesthetic. The first groove, when pressed, will release a small amount of anesthetic that can numb a part of the person for 5 minutes. The second groove could numb the person's movement for 5 minutes and the last groove is so powerful it could numb a person up to 5 hours. Point the tip of the pen towards the person that you would like to numb, press the groove and TA-DA!"


James caressed the pen softly in his hand. He touched the three grooves softly. He placed it down and picked up the notebook.


" How about the notebook?"


"I'm coming to that. The notebook is a prototype but it could work all the same. The pages of the notebook is fireproof."


"Cool! How about the NERDS then?"


"The watermelon flavor is a small explosive. However it must be activated with water or maybe if you want, saliva. You could place it in the small hole of the door knob and pour water over it. In 30 seconds time, the seeds would explode. The more seeds you place, the more explosive power it has."


"Then how about the strawberry flavor?"


"It is merely for your entertainment. It's for you to eat!"


"Oh."


"The plasters are for yourself."


"What do you mean?"


"These plasters are coated with a special formula we have created to treat injuries. It quickens the cell movement and heals the injuries faster. In the formula, SE589, we included a small amount of anesthetic to lessen the pain you might be getting due to your chronic disease."


"Thank you."


From the background, someone shouted, "PROF DARE! THE PLANT EXPLODED!"


"Oh, I need to get going. Is there any questions you might want to ask?"


"Why am I not given a gun?"


"Ah, you are a minor. In Singapore, it is not legal to carry a gun unless you are from the special forces."


"Well, I am from the PSI."


"So you would like to go and get yourself identified?"


"..."


"Alright, anymore questions ?"


"No. No, sir"


"Haha , there's no need for the sir, kiddo. I hope to see you back in one piece. Oh and..."


"What?"


"Don't swallow the watermelon flavored NERDS."


"Yes, I know."


"Alright, have a nice day."


Prof Dare hung up. James stared the items laid out in front of him. A fireproof notebook, an anesthetic pen, an explosive NERDS seeds and some healing plasters. Oh, how fun is that supposed to be...


"James! Are you asleep?"


Time to sleep... , James thought. He kept all the items back into his backpack but kept the pen and a few plasters in his pocket. He laid on the mattress and slept.

CHAPTER NINE


"How did you know?..." James asked, expression unreadable and that scared Apple a little. Apple shrugged and replied,"Just a feeling. I'm studying medical." James did not say anything and continued to walk. It was not before long he spoke again,"Mine's not severe. It just causes a sharp pain that will ease after rest but that depends on the injury too. The bigger the injury, the longer I have to rest to ease the pain."


Apple glanced at him with concern. Apple could spot small injuries all over him and big scars and wondered where did he got all that from. James looked far and had many things were going through his mind: Benjamin, Kat, Nano-carbon, Kat, the PSI and the rest was all about Jess.


"We're back."
"I could eat an elephant," James joked. Apple chuckled and said," Wash up in 30 minutes and get ready for dinner." James asked, "What's for dinner?" Apple looked at him and smiled, "We're eating Singaporean today."


James couldn't wait. He hasn't come to Singapore for a long time. Since he was seven. James wondered if it would be the spicy noodles called Laksa or the food that have everything mixed together - Rojak.


James sat down quickly and smelt the food. God, this is heaven ! He could smell Western food, Japanese, Korean and ... Laksa. Apple pulled the chair beside him and sat down. She glanced at James and smirked, "Why are you so excited? Is this the first time you've eaten Japanese, Korean or Laksa?" James looked at her and answered,"No, this is the first time I am eating them all together."


After dinner, James checked the bag PSI ha given him. There were shoes, clothes, all the usual stuff. When he was zipping up his bag, he stopped. He reopened the bag and poured out everything and there was a secret compartment underneath. James smiled, at least PSI is human enough to provide gadgets.

CHAPTER SEVEN

"WOW." James stated at the huge mansion. It was approximately 3 times bigger than his house in London.

Apple giggled and waved him into the house. When James stepped into the house, two bulldogs rushed over and started barking crazily. Apple giggled a bit harder when she saw James backing away from the dogs.

"You scared of dogs?" Apple asked. James answered with a shake of head," But that doesn't mean I like those that are not small and cuddly." Apple doubled over with laughter and led James into the living room.

"Good Afternoon. I assume you are James."

James whirled around and saw a young woman, not more than 35 years old, was waving at him. James bowed slightly and nodded his head. The lady smiled, "I am Catherine. I am Apple's mother. (Apple muttered softly,"Step-mother.") You are staying for three days, am I not wrong?" James shook his head. Madam Phang bowed her slightly, "I do hope you will enjoy your stay here with Apple. If there is any thing you would like to know about Singapore, feel free to ask Apple." She gestured Apple and at the corner of James' eye, he saw Apple rolling her eyes. Madam Phang was about to walk away when she turned back with an "oh!". Her lips curled into a smile and she said, "My husband, Mister Phang, would be back for dinner tonight to welcome you. I do hope that you would try to reject any type of thoughts Apple would try to plant in your head to eat out tonight," she glanced slightly at Apple before looking straight into James' eyes once again, "I would have you excuse me for my business now. Have a nice day."

Apple tutted at Madam Phang when she climbed the stairs to the second floor. James remembered that Madam Catherine Phang was a step-mother to Apple and that Apple have not accepted Madam Phang as a member of the family at all. Madam Phang detest Apple as well. Mister Phang do not know that the two detested each other at all. Madam Phang had also bore Mister Phang one child named Joshua Phang and had him sent abroad to England for his studies. Somehow, PSI have changed Joshua Phang to James Phang.

Apple tapped his shoulder, "Back to Earth, Jamesy." James raised his eyebrows. Apple said," That's how I call Joshua. Joshy. But now, he isn't even close to me." He saw her look and quickly changed the subject, "where's my room?" She took a deep breath and smirked, "Come follow me."

They arrived at a storage room. James gasped, "This is my..." Apple guffawed, "Yes. I'm pretty sorry but my lovely mother had all of the guest rooms occupied yesterday. Oh, get ready in 1hour. Take a bath in the guest toilet. Down the corridor, turn right. After that, we'll have some games till dinner."

James placed his luggage onto the small mattress in the corner, "What type of games?"

Apple smirked, "You'll see. The games are enough to make you eat an elephant during dinner."

Wanna make a guess what those games are? HEHE . Oh and if you tag the games, the first few to answer correctly, you'll see your own names appearing in the story !
Hint : not common in Singapore .

CHAPTER SIX

The plane took off. James was sitting at the window seat alone reading a book. From the outside, it looked like an extremely thick encyclopedia (as stated on the spine) however the contents were those about James Phang. "All passengers. Addressing all passengers. It is now save to remove your seat belt. Food would be served 1.5 hours later." James looked up from the book and sighed. He placed the book down onto his lap and looked outside the window. There were clouds. And more clouds. And more clouds. James switched on his iPhone 4 and waited for it to start up. He received a message the moment it was fully booted.


Hiya James, Kat here. Heard you're goin' overseas 4 some things. It's Singapore, no? It'll be gre8 if i was there too. Hope u will enjoy urself. :)


James smiled at the text and kept his phone. He slept all the way through his dinner on the plane.


*


"Jet lag."


The teenager that claimed to be his "sister" smirked. "Hey, you're gonna love it here in SG. Small introduction, we speak Singlish here in Singapore and you're gonna stand out as a lovely british boy."


James was liking her less and less. She said she was Apple Phang, 17 years old, studying in Nanyang 'JC', which of course, James had no idea where or what is Nanyang 'JC'. He assumed it was a high school and had successfully translated 'JC' into Junior College. The airport was huge and clean. He had to agree with the term "Garden City". Singapore is a "Clean and Green Garden City". 


"Hey! Catch up!" James heaved his small luggage onto his bag and ran hurriedly after Apple.


Apple was speaking on the phone throughout the whole ride. They were in something called the Mass Rapid Transport which was somewhat like the Tube. James looked around and saw different races and was starting to enjoy the atmosphere but quickly realised he was here in Singapore slightly earlier to be comfortable and to get to know Singapore better. He glanced at the MRT lines and quickly memorised them. They finally got off at some place called "Serangoon". 


"What are you here for?" James turned to look at Apple. She blushed slightly, "I mean, dad only told me you're here for some stupid exchange program but you don't represent any school at all."


James did not answer and continued walking. This place was full of what Sinagporeans call 'Bungalows' and 'Terrances'. He was noting down all the numbers and remembered somewhere in his head that James Phang is staying in a 'Bungalow' in Serangoon called the 'P-Hang'. He smiled when he thought of that. Why do they name their own house?


"James! Here we are." James stopped and looked up. His mouth opened wide.

CHAPTER FIVE


James opened his eyes and amazingly he was still alive. The bullet was a blank. He was still standing there, with the cold metal tip of the gun pointing at his skull. Mr Resh's expression was unreadable. He was standing by his table, glancing and flipping through files.


"We are the PSI - Police Special Investigations. Something like the MI6, but no. No one knows about us except for the government. The higher ranked police, the MI5, MI6, CIA and the other countries special forces. We are currently investigating a case where there this multimillionaire is donating out money to build the highest building in Singapore. The first nano-carbon building."


James did not even felt the gun leave his skull. He looked at Mrs Raine who told him all those and then at Mr Resh who was still flipping through his files. Obviously, they had assumed he would agree. He smiled faintly, they don't know about me. Mr Resh spoke, "Ah. Here. Kathyrien Lorans. Age 13. A cute girl, eh? I wonder what would happen if I told her that James is a ...."


"ALRIGHT!" James shouted, looking furious. "I'll do it. Just don't tell anybody about it. I assumed you all know about it," James glanced around from Mr Resh to Mrs Raine and continued, "I'll do it." James sat down on the chair and waited for a few seconds. It was Mrs Raine who spoke this time, "The multimillionaire is from China. His name is Benjamin Toh. Since young, Toh had been studying in America but suddenly, his parents died and without much money, he had to shift to University in Singapore. He did very good in Singapore. Toh went back to China after the education in Singapore. Over there, he started his career. The first company of Toh's was a loan company. Soon, he earned a lot of money and opened chains of his company all over the world. Have you ever heard of TLC? Toh's Loan Company. Some even said it was translated to Tender Loving Care due to the low interest rate it has. "


James nodded his head, "TLC? I've heard of that company. Jess was talking about that a few days ago. Saying about borrowing money from the company even though we were in no need of money at all. But, he is just a grateful man who is perhaps grateful to Singapore for the education and repaying her back, right?"


Mr Resh continued, "Yes. Of course that could be the case, however, like many Special Investigations would like to say, we don't like coincidences. We suspect he wants to do something."


James asked, "Like what?"


Mrs Raine suddenly spoke, "That is what we want you to find out, James." James opened his mouth to speak but Mrs Raine continued, "We have already taught of a way to send you in undercover. However, I would like to warn you that you are not Little James Bond. I could not have you running all over the place finding for clues, alright?" James nodded. Satisfied, Mrs Raine continued, "You will be son of Alexandra Phang, a member of the parliament in Singapore. Toh have been expecting a James Phang, the adopted son of Alexandra Phang who have been staying in London for studies for 5 years, as a guest to look around the nano-carbon building. James Phang is a young talented child who is very interested in architect and science. James Phang would staying in the newly built nano-carbon hotel for ten days as Toh's guest to the building. During this time, Toh would be introducing you the building and have a few press conferences to talk about your experiences in the first nano-carbon, 150 floors hotel."


"Would I be alone?"


Mr Resh smiled and said, "That you will see. Now there are three stacks of notes for you to read through about James Phang. In addition to all that, you would be going to Singapore 3 days earlier to experience being James Phang and remember the whole Singapore since James Phang had been living there for 7 years before he was sent to London for education."

CHAPTER FOUR


James opened his eyes slightly and saw darkness. He could not move nor talk. He tried recalling what happened and there was a sharp pain from the back of his neck. That lady... James opened his eyes fully but still could not see where he was at all.


"... awake? I thought i saw him move."


"Mr Resh? Do you want to untie him? Yes, yes, I understand. I'm sorry. Yes, okay."


James heard footsteps coming towards him and he braced him. Someone tore the eye mask away from his eyes and there was instant brightness. James shut his eyes instantly and it took him a few precious seconds to adjust to the light. Right after he opened his eyes, he say the lady untying the ropes.


She saw him and smiled. "It's Bella."


James shot her a puzzled look and the lady continued to untie him. After a while then he realised Bella was her name. After all the ropes were untied, James glared at Bella. Bella looked at him and went back to a nearby table. It was then James realised he was no longer in that building. This place was somewhere else. It was a huge room, with a sofa-bed and a majestic table in the middle. James was on the sofa-bed while Bella was packing up papers on the table. " I have prepared some clothes in the washroom. You might want to get a shower then I'll come back for you in 30 minutes," Bella said without looking up at all. Bella stood up and walked towards the door, "I'll be away for some things. And i am definitely not kidnapping you." She added, correctly interpreting his expression. 


James looked at Bella shut the door and stood up. He went over to the bathroom and took a shower, put on the fresh clothes and looked into the mirror. "They even got my favorite brand, huh?" James muttered. He went over the the table and prodded at the clock. The clock rang and he jumped backwards. "Woah," James exclaimed. He went over to the window and tried opening the door to the balcony. It was locked. They even guessed he might leave by the balcony.


Bella came back 30 minutes later and took James to another room. James followed in silence, noting down all the details along the way. The lightnings, the flowered carpet and the metal doors. 


"Welcome. I am Mrs Raine." A woman in her forties stood in the doorway. She had curly hair that reached her shoulders. She had brown, cold eyes and really shiny teeth. "Bella, you may leave us." Bella bowed and left. "James, step in and close the door." James did as instructed. The room was colorful, at least only one part of it. That colorful part of the room, was the noticeboard, pasted with "WANTED" photos. Other than that, the room was a color of blue. It would ruin any happy mood.


Mrs Raine pointed at the chair and spoke, "That is Mr Resh. And we have a proposition to make."


Mr Resh whirled around and stared at him. He was the type of person that had the face of a typical army soldier. He had a tough face and was bald. His fingers was interlocked, placed on the table. "James Kridle, I would like you to work for us."


James shook his head, "No." Mr Resh stared at him, " I have not even said my proposal." James shook his head again, "No. I saw that piece of paper. I saw my sister's name on it. It was her information. AND IT WROTE SHE WAS DEAD!" James shouted. Mrs Raine tutted and said, " Jessica Lint is dead."


James said very calmly, "and why?" Mrs Raine replied, "She did not obey the rules. She had to die." James stared into her eyes," she broke a rule and she died. So now what? As her brother, I have to die too?" Mr Resh shook his head, " I've told you. I want to give you a job."


James still shook his head and Mrs Raine grabbed his shoulder, "I'm afraid you have no choice, James." James turned to look at her. She continued, "If you don't do this, you'll have to die." James laughed, "What? Kill me. If that's what you want." Mrs Raine took out a gun and pointed at his head.


"You are not scared?" 

James turned to Mr Resh. "No." He saw Mr Resh nodding at Mrs Raine and the last thing James heard was the gunshot.

Chapter Three

It was 3 p.m. James stepped out of the tube. He glanced around for the tall building. He saw it and walked towards it. The majestic building was golden, like it's name, and the doors were silvery white. There were about twenty floors and the windows were wide open. James supposed that each room on the fifteenth to the nineteenth floor had a window and a balcony. And each balcony were pretty near each other. It's easy to jump across... James shook his head and reprimanded himself softly," No, James Kridle. You're a really normal kid, living a normal life." He stepped through the silvery doors and gasped. The place looked like a hotel. The ceiling is about four floors up and the railings are pure gold. There was a reception corner and a ticket counter. Each staff looked friendly and there was a smile plastered on all their faces. James walked over to one of the racks that held brochures and took a look at them. He picked one brochure that was a tour to Japan. One week in the district and one in the countryside.

The lady had barely touched his shoulder and James had already whirled around. His expression changed from a face that was slightly furious to a poker face. The lady smiled.

"James Kridle?" James nodded his head and stared at her suspiciously. She looked young, around her thirties or forty, at most. She wore a red spectacles with a Levi brand and she was wearing power lady dress style; She wore a dark blue turtle neck with a navy blue skinnies. Her foot wear is a 3 cm high heel. She took out an orange mentos sweet and sucked it. She gestured towards the lift and James walked toward it.

James entered the lift and glanced around; it had one CCTV. The doors closed and the lady pressed the fifteenth floor. James looked at this action curiously, why press the button after the doors close?

Little did James know, the doors concealed an X-ray that scanned the bodies of the people entering the lift, checking for any dangerous objects hidden in the body. A heat sensor was activated when the lady pressed the button and it would tell the staff in the control room about the items that people in the lift are carrying. Bombs, guns, drugs, everything will be recorded. Not that any of them would have past through the front door. The silvery doors had ultra sensitive rays that would send messages to the alarms which would sound the moment they detect gunpowder. Once they detect any powder or organic substance, it would send messages to the reception corner's staffs' computers and they would check the identity of the person. Back in the lift, once they left the ground floor, another set of rays would have scanned them and sent messages to the control room about the identities of the people, if they are people not supposed to be in the building, they would be sent straight up to the control room where they would meet armed guns with the latest riffles - Silver Pointers. However, James and the lady are identified to be staffs and are approved to be sent to the fifteenth floor.

The doors opened and James stepped out. The fifteenth floor was unlike the ground floor. The ground floor was golden with marbled floor yet this level felt dead. James is not going to like this at all.

"This way, please."

James did not move. The lady said again," This way, please." James looked at the lady in the eye, "No. Who are you? What's this place?"

"Golden Travelers."

"You are lying." James snatched up a single paper from a nearby desk and prompted," what's this then?" He looked at the heading," it wrote," FIRE WHISK," he threw that paper in the lady's face and took another paper and shoved in her face," how about this? It wrote," he turned the paper around and looked at the heading and stopped.

"What..."

The lady was quick. She stepped sideways and gave a soft slap at James neck and James crumpled. James did not even felt the blow. The lady's face was grim and she held James in her hands. She placed him gingerly on the floor and someone's shadow feel above her. She did not lift her head to look at him and said, " The boy is too observant."

" Put him the guest room. We'll wait till he awakes and explain what we want with him."

" He is too young."

" We have to use him. We must."

Bel's Request Wednesday, 23 November 2011

Its quite early to blog today. Hmm, I just read Bel's blog and it's like -.-
EMO EMO EMO.
I think i fell in the category of saying "ohkay", "cheerup" and "so?"
I can't really cheer people up when they are emo-ing and i know sometimes, they really want to be alone.
So i usually heck care. And there are a lot of people around the emo person and you can see whether the emo person wants to be cared or not. It's pretty obvious. If the person just gave a super fake smile to those people, it just meant the person wants to be alone. If the person, starts to pour up all her/his problems, then the person needs others to lend a listening ear.

Enough of emo-ing. Been requested to write two chapters of the story here. I shall combine that two chapters into one chapter. Since, one chapter is supposed to be for one blog post not really one chapter by itself. Okay, START.

CHAPTER TWO

James woke up with a start. He stared around the dark room and wiped off his own sweat. That nightmare again... He heard the door creak open and stepped off the bed. 


"Jess?"


He switched on the lights and looked around his own room. It was messy room with items strewn all over. His study table had no more than three books yet it looked as if the table had not been cleaned for a long time. The mirror beside the cabinet had his parents' pictures stuck onto it. James had once tried to remove them but it was stuck on with super glue by his younger self. On the coffee table beside his single bed, was a photo of him and his sister, Jess. That was a photo from two year ago where they were skiing.


James walked out of his room and whispered again, "Jess?"


No answer.


He knocked on his sister's room and opened it. He saw the sight of the room and ran towards the front door. One muddy footstep on his door mat. He glanced at the streets and saw a muddy grass patch. He ran over after locking the front door. He cannot risked his house being burgled after he went out. On the muddy patch of grass was his sister's name card. He picked it up and looked around. His sister was kidnapped. There was nothing he could do here. He had no lead except for that muddy footprint and this name card. He doubled back to his house and unlocked the front door. James was careful on not stepping onto the muddy footprint and he dialed for the police.


                                                                        *
The forensic investigators had finished sweeping the house for clues and were leaving now. James looked at them leave and slumped back into the sofa. Jess...


James jumped at the sound of the phone. He patted his own chest then picked up the phone, "Hello?" 


"Is this James Kridle?" 


James stopped for awhile. Is this the kidnappers? "Yes, may I help you?"


"We are from Golden Travelers, your sister's travel agency."


James listened. "I am Mr Resh. I am your sister's boss. Is it possible for you to come over tomorrow? I'll send a car to pick you up. Is that okay?"


James hated being restrained and controlled. "What if I said no? I don't want to go."


"Don't you want to know what happened to your sister?"


James was silent and listened to the this other man's breathing through the phone. "What time?"


"I'll send the car at around afternoon."


"No, i'll be there at 3p.m, taking the tube."


And James hung the phone up. If they were the kidnappers, they are going to get it from him when he arrived. If he is really his sister's boss, he touched the name card, he is going to hear what he has to say. Either way, he is not going to miss school and being played by their hands.


                                                                       *
Somewhere near King's Road, in the tall building called Golden Travelers, the man named Mr Resh smiled in the dark. "He took the bait, Mrs Raine."


"Do you think he will come? He's fourteen and.."


"He will come. He WILL come."

CHAPTER ONE

"Hey, James! You've got to wake up!"


"Mmhhmmm.. What day is today?" James asked back groggily.


"It's Thursday. Unfortunately, it's a school day."


James climbed out of bed and looked at his own reflection in the mirror. He saw his own deep green eyes staring back him. His hair fell all over in places and he didn't seem quite like it. He ruffled his hair again and looked into the mirror again. Perfect. His hair is falling in the correct places. James had to admit, his face is the type that would attract many in school but he was not that sociable. He had a fair built, muscular but not too much. He was not too short, at least he was only shorter by half a head to the lady downstairs...


"JAMES!"


"Coming!" He shouted back. He stepped into the shower and had a quick bath. He slipped into his uniform pretty quickly and rushed down. 


The young lady saw him looking at him and glanced sideways at the clock.


"7 minutes. You are late."


"Sorry, Jess."


"No sorry is enough. You have to finish your food in 8 minutes and collect your stuff in 3 minutes. I'm going off in about ..." She glanced sideways at the clock again, "13 minutes exactly. By the 13th minute, I am starting the car and not caring for a moment if you're in it." She said as she walked towards her room.


James sighed and decided quickly that sighing would not help at all. He gobbled down his breakfast and kept a watch at the minute hand ticking by. 2 minutes left. He grabbed his school bag and wore his shoe halfway. While rushing out, he stubbed his toe at the door frame and swore. Jess heard and turned to him quickly, glaring at him. She bent down to take a sponge but James saw the movement. 


Jess stood up straight and saw no one. A knock from inside the car. She threw the sponge down and walked towards the driver seat. Opening the door, she heard giggles. She creased her eyebrows and sat down.


"You are quicker now." She commented.


James tried to stifle his laugh but failed and doubled over. After he regained his posture, he looked up and said, "You are the one slower."


"Another comment about me, James Kridle, and you're be going to school, on foot."

"Another comment about me, Jess Lint, and you're going to get shocked by me, at night." He muttered softly under his breath, making sure that Jess could not hear him at all.

PREQUEL

He walked towards the car. He noticed a thin wire coming out from the door. How unusual? He touched the door handle and stopped. It's lukewarm. How could it be? It was autumn.

He glanced at the thin wire and knelt down to investigate it. He ran his hand down the door and to the underneath of the car. Someone had tampered with his car.

He stood up and looked at the bushes. Surely the person who had tampered with his car was still around. His hand reached towards his pistol and slowly he crept towards the bushes.

The rustling bushes. And someone was behind him.The man felt cold metal pressing onto his head. A gun.


"Who...?"


BANG!
