134 Polar Vortex 3 (2/2)

”That's right. But don't worry, soon my intel will give their report to me. I will give your sister's information exchange with Stevan's future plan. What do you think of my offers?”

Rei Ishii fell silent for a while until he voiced out, ”Fine.” His eyes turn to obstinate.

”Good. Ah, right. Later Crazy Kei will bring us to his nightclub again for a meeting. So act like 'it's been a long time to meet me' when the four of us meet.” Han stated.

Rei Ishii curved his lips into a thin smile when he heard his words, ”You know Han. Aren't you more cunning and professional actor than me?”

Han snorted, lifted his head slightly, sarcastically said, ”I learned it from you, thank you.” Rei Ishii shrugged from his answer. Han who he knew back then, was growing up like Crazy Kei, yet Han was much calmer. Not long after discussing a little detail, Rei Ishii left the place with an amusing feeling.

...

Winter, one year later, in the afternoon, after Ringo was kidnapped.

Han was waiting for Rei Ishii to answer the call, he tapped his foot to the floor rapidly, feeling impatient. When Rei Ishii picked up the call, Han shouted angrily”You didn't have to crash my wife's car!! What would happen if she and Ringo were injured?!!”

{Calm down, calm down, geez. Stevan had his men watching over me. It couldn't help it. His sudden changing plan was something I didn't expect too. What would have thought he wanted the baby instead of the mother. He was really good to touch your sore spot, huh.]

[But, seriously, don't worry, the most important is she's alright now. I have your son now with me. I will take good care of him. Ah, right, seriously, your son is amusing. A moment he cried but in a second he was calm. What funny kid.}

”That's not the point, his plan to target my son was something imbecile would do!” Han gritted his teeth, clenching his arms hardly. Sighing to calm him down, he continued, ”Also, Ringo's a little special. He can understand our conversation, so you must be careful when you talk to him. Don't contaminate his mind with your bullsh*t. Give him some milk and don't forget to change his diaper.”

{...} Rei Ishii halted for a second before saying something. The thought he must babysit this kid was something he really hated it. {I'm just going to hire a nanny. Hey, I couldn't help to praise him as a super baby, how old is he? Ten months, right?} He chortled.

Han ignored his question and said, ”Just do your job.”

After he turned off his phone, he strode through the corridor and reached his bedroom. He saw Tereza who was crying and curling on the bed. He reached his hands to circle her waist. He coaxed her softly, ”Tereza...wife, don't cry. Ringo is going to be alright.”

”Wuu...wuu...wu...hiks....ahh...hah...my baby.” When he heard that he cursed himself for letting Ringo with Rei Ishii. He knew he'll be alright. But he felt guilty using his son to solve this problem. He knew it wasn't deliberately. But still.

Sighing, what would he say to Tereza? What would be her reaction if she knew the truth?

”Tereza....”

She didn't listen to his words and kept crying until she had no tears again to fall. Han embraced her tighter and brought her to his chest. He kissed her forehead and trying to smoothen her feeling. After a moment she fell asleep until morning.

Early dawn, Han got a baby picture from an anonymous sender. Of course, he knew it was from Stevan. The fact Stevan used this threat to pressure him was something he hated so much! He got news from Satoru that another turmoil in one of HJ apartment property. Han immediately called for back up people to help.

After that, he called Rei Ishii, asking him if Stevan was finally coming back. Rei answered positively, Stevan and Mr. Gua was going to check in one of HJ apartment. They planned to blow up one of the building. Han called for anti-terrorist force and told them to prepare to deactivate the bomb.

After everything was ready, he went outside the residence with Tereza. She insisted to join as she couldn't help to know what happened with her baby. She was still crying, depressing in the car.

Han got a call from To. He reported that the anti-terrorist force was currently disabling the bomb and delivered information about Rei Ishii who was taking care of Ringo. He stated that Ringo was playing piggyback ride with Rei Ishii, they were having fun. Han sighed in relieved, he knew Ringo was an easy-going and much tougher baby than he thought.

Meanwhile, he looked at Tereza's gleaming eyes but radiated killing intention. Han gulped from her sight. ”You lied to me again.”

”Did you hear the conversation?” Han asked shiveringly. Tereza smiled yet her smile didn't reach her eyes. She grabbed his collar and pushed him down on the couch. She pounced him and bit him hard on his neck. She smacked him until he fell dizzy.

”Wife! Wife! Wife!” Han shouted beggingly to her.

She pulled his hair hard! ”How dare you used Ringo!!!!”

”Ouch! Ouch! I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! I swear I will not do it again!!!”

”Hiss!!”

”I can explain!! Gyaaaa!!”

They had their biggest fight inside.The car shook slightly, the driver was trying his best to make it drive smoothly, he could only shake his head through the rear mirror.
