Chapter 93 - Number one or number two (1/2)

Kris stood up and nodded. Lena went to her room to answer the phone. It was her father.

”Dad?”

”Are you still at the party?”

”No, I am already home.”

”Did Elder Zhao like the gifts?”

”He did. How is grandpa?”

”He is fine. Your grandma is just overreacting. You should come to visit again longer next time.”

”I'll be sure too.”

”Don't stay up late just because you are not working for the next few days. And make sure you eat well.”

”Yeah.”

”And don't you dare have boys over.”

Lena laughed. ”I wouldn't dare to.”

Lena hung up and she walked to out to see Kris peacefully sitting on her sofa. His eyes were closed. He was probably letting the medicine kick in before he leaves. Lena went to grab her laptop and the sim card. She also brought out a piece of device that James told her will read the sim card. She put them all on the living room table and sat on the ground.

”Are you still alive?” She whispered.

Kris opened his eyes. He stared at her sitting on the ground and her workplace set up in the living area. ”What are you doing?”

Lena held up the sim card. ”Tracing the caller ID she called. My guts feelings are telling me it is something important.”

”And because of your gut feelings, you sneaked into the room to just steal that?”

Lena nodded. She put the sim card into the device and connected the device to her laptop via USB. After a few seconds, a browser popped out. She scrolled until she found the latest number that Madam Yang received or called from.

Kris shifted closer to see what she was doing. After getting the number, Lena logged into one of Gary's programmed system to trace caller ID. She input the number in and hit enter. The number is then scanned to match a location or person. This was going to take awhile. Lena walked up and went to get a drink of water.

She noticed that Kris did not put away the medicine bottle. She grabbed that and put it back on the cabinet. She grabbed a glass cup out and took a drink. Lena then remembered that she had still to put the unknown pills in a small zip bag. She went to get it and noticed that it was different.

The medicine bottle was closed and the pill she took out was not on the counter anymore. Then a thought struck Lena. Lena grabbed the bottle and stared at Kris from afar.

'It couldn't be… he did not just…' Lena walked to him. ”Kris?”

”Hmm?” He looked up to her. Lena tried to see if he looked different. The only thing she noticed was that he did not look so sick.

”What medicine did you take?”

”The one you said that you took out.” Kris was confused.

”Yeah, but where?” Lena told Kris to follow her. She pointed him to location number one and location number two. ”Which one.”

”The second one.”

Lena slammed the medicine bottle on the counter and pointed a finger at him. ”This is why you are banned from my home! You are cursed! Do you not read before taking something?? Pfft… so much for your keen eyes.”

Kris picked up the bottle of the assumed medicine he took. The bottle had nothing on it. He opened the bottle and took out a white pill. One side has an A on it and the other had a heart imprinted on it. Somehow, it looked familiar to him. ”What is this?”

”I don't know…” Lena shrugged.
