47 Going Home (1/2)
Chapter 47
Ten minutes after Moxian hung up the little cellphone a black limo was outside her house to pick her and the kids up. The windows were pitch black not allowing anyone to see inside. An hour after they got into the limo they were inside of Janet's office at World COMM. The kids were nervous because they didn't understand what was going on. All they knew was that their mother woke them up and told them they had to leave right away. From the limo ride to arriving at the office they hadn't been told anything yet. Moxian and the kids sat down in the chairs in front of Janet's desk, Moxian carefully placed the backpack she had next to her seat.
Janet was about to say something when the wall behind her opened up and Nathan walked through. Looking back Janet acknowledged him with a nod and a smile before looking back at Moxian.
”How are you Mrs. Chen? I'm sorry that things involving your husband has dragged you guys into this horrible situation. I will do everything in my power to keep you and your family safe and together.” Janet said in an attempt to reassure Moxian.
Looking at the kids confused, and scared faces Janet asked, ”You haven't told the kids yet?”
”I didn't know what to say to them or how to tell them…..” Moxian said as she looked at her kids.
Chen Talon and Chen Xiaoxiao looked at their mother with expectant faces, waiting for answers to everything that was going on.
”(Deep sigh)…. I found out last night that your father is still alive…” Moxian was interrupted by both her kids asking her questions at the same time.
”I don't have a lot of information. I was given a message from him by this gentleman here. Your father is in another world, where he is training to become stronger. He wants to be able to protect us when he returns home. From what I can gather our world will become a very dangerous place soon and we need to be ready for when that happens.” Moxian was putting on a brave face for her kids, but she was slowly crumbling inside.
Talon was always a very mature kid for his age, so he kept a calm head throughout this situation. As long as his mother was ok with things then he would follow her lead. Xiaoxiao looked at her mother, even though she was worried she put her trust in her mother. She would wait for her mother to tell her what she needed to know.
”I know that you and your husband are originally from China. Would you feel safer if you are your kids stayed with family back in China? I think with what the government is trying to do right now that that would be the best option for you.” Janet suggested to Moxian.
Moxian thought about it for a while. She hadn't been home in many years. It would be much safer if she stayed with her parents. They lived in Yichang City, in the Hubei Province on the Yangtze River.
”Will we be able to leave the country? They will probably have us detained at the airport if we try to fly out.” Moxian thought out loud.
”That won't be a problem. Nathan will escort you to our private hanger here in Boston. I've already ready the company jet. Here is some traveling money. I suggest you don't worry about your clothes back at home. There should be plenty of money there for you to buy a new wardrobe when you arrive in China. To make sure your home is untouched when it's safe for you to return, I've purchased it and placed it in a trust. If you will just sign by the X at the bottom of the page, my lawyer will finish handling the rest.” Janet said sliding a large envelope full of cash and some documents to Moxian.
