134 Polar Vortex 3 (1/2)

He spat some blood from his mouth, he touched his kidney position and looked at the man in front of him. It hit some of his internal. ”Rei Ishii, why you...” Stevan was having difficulty to breathe. His eyes turned to blurry. He looked at the doorway, Han's subordinate intruded inside the place. They surrounded the room and grabbed Mr. Gua from under the table and seize him with the handcuff.

Stevan looked at the remote which he had been pressed. But the bomb wasn't active. What's going on? He asked confusingly. He looked at Han who was walking to his direction, Han kicked Stevan's gun which fell from his hand.

He grabbed his collar and punched his face until he bleeds! He pulled out one of his handcuffs from behind and locked Stevan's hands. ”You...!” He spat blood from his mouth. Stevan's eyes were dewy and tears fell from his eyes. ”You! You! How could you betray me like this?!” Stevan gazed angrily to Rei Ishii.

He noticed Ringo was stopped crying and was being carried by a woman who just entered the place. Tereza grabbed Ringo and hugged him tightly on her embrace. She cried and pecked his cheeks lovingly. ”I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sonny.” Ringo buried his petite face and sobbing sadly on his mother bosom, but a second later Ringo curved his smile.

Meanwhile, Han pushed Stevan to kneel, a sound came through his small walkie-talk, {Boss, the situation is clear. We deactivated the bomb, the hoodlums are being captured. Over.} To's voice was heard from inside.

”Good. One more thing you need to do, help Ta with his mission, he's still in China. He needs backups. After that, I need you to report to me as soon as possible. Over.”

{Affirmative.}

Han turned it off and looked at Stevan darkened face. Stevan's body was shakingly, his head facing down, yet later in a second, he curved his lips.”Rei, from the beginning you're not in my side. Since when did you...” His tone was serious while radiating murder aura.

Stevan glanced at Han's cold and scary expression, ”Son of a b*tch!! You were bluffing awhile ago! Han, I can't believe you are more despicable than me!!!” He roared furiously.

Han replied to him with nothing.

He recalled the time when he started noticing Stevan's weird behavior. It was after they released him from being a suspect in Oda's case. At that time, Han truly refused to believe it. He heard him saying, 'Aren't you glad? Your wife is finally saved...' Han creased his brows when he aware his weird comment.

Did he ever tell Stevan that his wife was being kidnapped? And what was with that smile?

His suspicion was much resolute when To and Ta explained to him. His wife incident wasn't the work of one people.

Han realized there was something odd with Stevan, it pricked his rational time to time. In the end, he had someone to follow and investigate Stevan once again. He also asked Rei Ishii to help him.

Fall, one year ago.

In military base camp. Han sat on his office with his uniform, signing his military reports, while glanced slightly to Rei Ishii. Rei Ishii came inside the after being called by him. He adjusted his glasses and looked teasingly at him. ”You're asking me to be a spy?”

”I''m not going to repeat this.” He placed the pen down. He lifted his head gazed at him, ”I want you pretending to hate me and joined Stevan's group. I want you to monitor everything he does, he says, he plans and reports it to me. Right, for convincing him, give this.” Han shoved him a black flash disk.

”What's this?”

”Data. The things he needs the most for his creation.” He explained short. Rei Ishii grabbed the flash disk on his hand.

Rei Ishii couldn't help to ask curiously, ”Where did you get it?”

”I have my intel to find out, obviously.”

Rei Ishii nodded, ”Make sense. Hey, why are you asking me to help you? Isn't it better for Jo Miura to have undercover? He's a former special agent after all. Besides, I'm curious, did you tell your plan to him and Kei as well?”

”I didn't tell them, fewer people to know is much better. I choose you because I know you are a cunning man. You can act perfectly, right? It was the same as when we were still a teenager.” Han stated the fact while folding his arms in front.

Rei Ishii snickering. He couldn't help to recall the time he fooled Han many times before. Han stupidly believed his lie, since then Han learned his lesson. ”You know me so right, I thought you were only attached to Kei. Hanzo, no I mean Han, that's why I loved to tease you back then. You are different now, I couldn't help to feel disappointed. I like the cute you back then better.”

”Shut the crap.”

Rei Ishii chuckled, lifting one of his eyebrows, he demanded, ”So, what did I get from this? You didn't expect this cunning fox here leaving with an empty hand, right? I'm not free you know.”

Han tilted his head and looked at him teasing with his blue eyes, ”I heard you're searching for your sister.”

When he heard that he paused for a second. Rei Ishii's smile slowly dissolve, he looked at Han seriously,”So you know. What? Do you want to search for her instead of me?”

Han threw him documents which contained his reports about a girl, ”I investigated her and we found no one under the name of Aiko Ishii. But we found one girl who has the same description as her face from CCTV footage five years ago, long hair, round eyes, was spotted on the clinic face surgery in outskirt. She was being accompanied by a tall man. Unfortunately, his face was covered by a mask. Later, my men went to that place to find out the doctor who interacted with them. They reported that the clinic was closing down. The doctor was gone. We lost their track.”

Rei Ishii grabbed the paper and looked at his sister photo. She was missing for years now. His parents were giving up on her, while him as her brother, would not stop believing someday they will be reunited. ”So, you are still searching for her?”
