~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside the factory.

Light: We will wait here.

Light and the reinforcements of the police stay put as James, Winter and Lynn walked into the factory.

-------------------------------------

In the factory.

James: Let's split up.*ran upstairs*

Lynn: Let's go find the other girls.

Winter: Go this way. *lead her to another staircases*

-------------

On James' side.

His cellphone rang.

Message:
35 DI E.
Are you smart enough to know what I mean?

James: *munched a chocolate and started thinking*35 referred to the storey, how about die? Oh whatever!

-------------------------

On the 2nd storey...

Winter: *kicked open a locked door* There's people in this room.

Lynn: Let's untie them.

--------------------

35th storey.

James: Die... What does it mean?

Maodi: Who's that?!

James: Maodi? What are you doing here?

Maodi: 007, it's you?

James: You are the one that kidnapped the workers, aren't you?

Maodi: So? What are you going to do?

James: Why did you do that?

Maodi: It's none of your business!

James: How about the five people this afternoon? You killed your own mother!

Maodi: Mum... Sorry... I'm sorry... 

James: Why did you even do that?

Maodi: Chief said he only wanted to injure Prince, I didn't mean to kill her. I shouldn't have push her.

James: Are you willing to go to the police station with me?

Maodi: Mum is dead... It doesn't matter to me now...

James: Who's the Chief you're talking about? Where's Hebe?

Maodi: I didn't see his face. He will only contact me using a private number. As for Hebe, I didn't kidnap her.

James: You didn't?*started thinking*

Maodi: I...

James ran off.

Maodi: How about me?

James: There's people outside the factory! You go to them!*climbed the stairs*

-------------------------------

Staircases.

James:*Thinking* 35 referred to the time 35 minutes left. Now I still have 10 minutes. DI are together while E is separated from them. D and I is 4 and 9, which is 49th storey and E represents the 5th room.

-------------

Outside the factory.

Light: 13, 14. All of them are out.

Winter: Case solved.

Light: Where's James and Hebe? How about Lynn?

Winter: James went to look for Hebe. As for Lynn... She might be lost inside. I go look for her.*ran inside*

-----------------------------

49th storey. The fifth room.

James wanted to open the door but he hesitated.

---Recap---

James: Why not let's die together?

Heely: If Arron is here to die with me, I might feel happier.

---

Heely: I want Arron... I want to see him...

---End---

James:*Thinking* Would she be happier if she sees Arron instead of James?

He took off his mask and hid it in his pockets.

He opened the unlocked door and ran inside.

Hebe: Arron... Arron...

Suddenly, a hand pulled the door and locked it from the outside.

Arron:*turned his head* Shoot.

Hebe: Arron...

Arron untied her ropes and took off her blindfold.

Arron: *shake her* Hebe, wake up! Stop sleeping! It's not the time to sleep!

Hebe:*slowly opened her eyes* Arron?

Arron: Yeah, it's me. Are you happy to see me?

Hebe: How did you manage to find me?

Arron: I told you before, our hearts beat in unison.

Hebe: Not funny.

Arron started coughing.

Hebe: Are you okay?

Arron: I...*pressed his chest, having shortness of breath, fell to the ground*AH!

Hebe: Arron! Don't scare me! What's wrong with you?!

---------------------------------------------

Outside the factory.

Light: Where's James and Hebe?

Lynn: We didn't see them.

Winter: Maybe they left from another way.

Light: Then, I will bring Maodi and the 14 of them back to the station, both of you can go home first.

-------------------------------

In the hospital.

Prince walked into Guigui's ward.

Prince: Guigui?

Guigui: I cannot see anything! Am I blind?!

Prince placed his things on the sofa.

Guigui: What am I gonna do?! I cannot see anymore! I cannot-

Lights are on.

Guigui looked at Prince who was just beside the switch.

Guigui: Heeheehee.

Prince: Very funny. Don't you remember you have night blindness?

Guigui: Can't I forget? Wait a minute! My legs can't move! I am a cripple! I...

Prince: You will recover in a month.

Guigui: Can you be nice to me?

Prince: In what ways am I not?

Guigui: Humph! Girls will run away if they sees you like that.

Prince: Do I look like I care?

Guigui: You meanie!

Prince did not say anything.

Guigui: Prince? Prince? WANGZI!

Prince: What?! I'm not deaf!

Guigui: What are you so engrossed in? Other girls?

Prince: Am I that kind of person?

Guigui: Who knows?

Prince: I suddenly had a weird feeling.

Guigui: What weird feeling?

Prince: This feeling... I can't really explain... It's just weird...

Guigui: Didn't you said Arron is your brother? Maybe your weird feeling have something to do with him.

Prince: You're right.*took out his cellphone*

Guigui: How was it?

Prince: No signal.*pressed the CBT hotline*

On the line...

Danson: *tired voice*Hello? This is CBT, what can I do for you?*yawns*

Prince: Stop playing, I have something to ask you.

Danson: Prince, you can call my cellphone, you know? I want to sleep.*yawns*

Prince: Where's Arron?

Danson: Arron? 007? He should be home by now.

Prince: Really?

Danson: Yeah, they were looking for the missing persons just a while ago. Winter and Lynn didn't see him and Hebe so they reckon that he had went home. I just reached home and I want to sleep.

Prince: Where is the last place you see him?

Danson: I give you the address and stop bothering me, okay? I need to sleep, you know!

---------------------------------------------

In the room.

Hebe: Are you feeling better now? *hugging him*

Arron: A little... We need to get out of here... Or we will die...

Hebe: Sorry, you have no obligation to save me but you...

Arron: Are you stupid? If... If anything happens to you... I... I would blame myself for life...

Hebe: Arron...*started to cry*

Arron: Hebe, can... Can you be my girlfriend. *coughed* For the... The 1314th time I have asked you... And... It's the last time... Last time that I would asked you.

Hebe:*cries* Of course I will be your girlfriend! No matter what, I would not reject you again!

Arron: *weak smile* You finally agreed... That's great... *slowly closing his eyes*

Hebe: *cried*Arron! Don't close your eyes! Don't leave me alone!*grabbed his hand*

Hebe started crying out loud.

The door was kicked open.

Prince ran towards them.

Hebe: Prince...

Prince:*taking his pulse* How long has he been like this?

Hebe: Just a while.

Prince: We need to get him to the hospital, quick.

----------------------------------------------

In the hospital. Outside the emergency room.

Hebe: Uncle...

Ken: Hebe, what happened?

Prince: He's inside now. He would probably be fine afterwards.

Ken: Prince... You're here too?

Prince: This afternoon, our mother...

Ken: What happened to her?

Prince: She was knocked down by a car, she has passed away.

Ken: Oh... Okay... I... Hebe, do you want anything?

Hebe: No thanks.

Ken: Okay...*walked away*

Hebe: Do you know Arron's father very well?

Prince: He is my father.

Hebe: Oh... What?

------------------------------------------

In Arron's ward.

Hebe was holding on to Arron's hand.

Hebe: Sorry... I'm really sorry. If not for me, you wouldn't be lying here.

Arron slowly woke up.

Arron: I haven't die?

Hebe: Arron, are you feeling better now? I go get the doctor.

Arron:*grabbed her hand*It's okay...

Hebe: Are you really okay?

Arron: I'm more concerned about something else.

Hebe: What?

Arron: Are you my girlfriend now?

Hebe: This question... I...

Arron: You promised me, no backing out now.

Hebe: I don't plan to back out.

Arron: That's great.*slowly closing his eyes*

Hebe: Arron, wake up! Don't leave me!*shake him*

Arron:*coughed*Hey stop!

Hebe: Arron, you came back to life?! That's great!

Arron: I was only sleeping! I might die if you kept shaking my whole body, you know?

Hebe: Sorry.

---------------------------------------------------

The next day. Police station. In a room.

Maodi: A few months ago, I joined a triad and they gave me this mission to abduct people working in Lims' Group.

Heely: Why did you join a triad?

Maodi: At that time, our financial problems were really bad so I wanted to make some money.

James: You mentioned a triad, what did you do in there?

Maodi: For this few months, I have been taking instructions from Chief, I reckon he holds the 2nd position in the triad. I don't know who he is and I never once see him.

James: This triad helped you to feed and store the hostages you kidnapped?

Maodi: Yes, all I have to do is kidnap a person and I would get a sum of money.

Heely: You are willing to do anything for money?

Maodi: I had no choice.

James: What is the name of the triad?

Maodi: Black Dogs Triad.
