Chapter 299 - Honeys past 1 (1/2)

Worry doesn't quite cover it and scared would be an understatement to describe what Suyin and Wang Shi had been feeling at the moment. A chill creeps over them as they shoved everyone that comes in their way. Their steps screeching where the baby monkey died. Finding it empty.

”Where is he?” Suyin asked.

”Where is the other monkey?” Wang Shi questioned Luo who had come out to smoke marijuana. He caught the worry on their faces and shoved the rolled paper strip in pocket.

”I don't know. What happened?”

”EVERYBODY, PAY ATTENTION,” Wang Shi screamed at the top of his voice, ”WHERE IS THE OTHER MONKEY? ANSWER ME NOW,”

”Caged in the empty blue container near docks.”

The two sprinted as if it's the world ending. Suyin was the first.

The door to the blue container was closed without a latch. She pushed it, darting in. The door clanged against the wall.

Honey looked up, startled. He was standing near the cage, blood dripping down from hands and the deadly collar just inches away from his neck.

”HONEY!” She screamed, taking a step, ”STOP.”

”Don't come!” Honey took a step back. His eyes looking behind Suyin at Wang Shi. Tears rolled down.

”Bratty, it's not a gaming console. Give it to me,” Wang Shi took a step closer, his hand stretched outward.

”Don't come near,” Tears rolled down. ”I won't give it. You both are leaving me here and going after the bad man to save James and Zeng. I heard it.” His cheeks stained red as he wiped them with the back of his hands. Suyin tried to look where he was hurt. ”Mum, dad, this is happening because of me.”

Suyin, ”No... No, my sweetie,”

”It is. Bad man wants Honey.” Honey said, ”He had tried this before but dad saved me that night. Now he is doing it again. Let him take me, and save Jamie and Zeng, and help dad save grandpa, grandma, and GG.”

”I don't know what you are saying, but we will talk about it later. Before that let me tell you a fact-- bad people don't keep their promises. Why would they? They are bad for a reason. And they believe whatever they are doing is correct.”

Suyin stopped Wang Shi from moving closer and took a baby step while talking to him as softly as always. ”Trust me, even after fulfilling his conditions, he won't let go of them. He's cruel and takes pleasure in killing people. When he didn't shy away from killing thousands, why would he bother about two more lives?” Her voice choked, ”We don't even know for sure if they are still alive. Please, don't do this-- It will only make us helpless. Do you want to see your parents helpless?”

Honey looked at the two. Slowly shook his head.

”Right. My baby loves us the most, don't you?” She took two more steps, careful not to startle him and cause him to lock the collar mistakenly.
