T. B. 4
CBTThe next day. Breakfast. Around the long table.
Hebe: I made all these, hope you guys don't mind.
Aoquan:*eating the porridge* Okay... Hebe! You are a potential cook!
Daya: Mmmm! Erm... Ya! It's very delicious!
Prince: It tasted heavenly!
Guigui: Yeah, it made me felt like I was in heaven.
Xiaoyu: This porridge gives me inspiration.
Xiaoxun: Yeah, it would help me with my studies.
Jay: Xiaojie! Let's feed each other!
Jade: Okay! Although it's... It's delicious!
Xiaogui: Hebe, your porridge is edible.
Weilian: This porridge is...
Apple: Eat and stop talking!
Ella: Erm... Wow! I can't wait for another serving.
Jiro: Hebe, I didn't know you can cook so... So well!
Genie: Yeah, it's simply... Delicious!
Danson: Hebe, you can cook for us sometimes.
Selina: Yeah, your cooking improved a lot.
But everyone knew that Hebe was only waiting for Arron's comment.
Arron: What is this? Is this meant for dogs?
Prince: Third Brother.
Guigui: Arron...
Arron: What? I am only speaking the truth. It really tasted horrible. Can't you guys tell?
Danson: Even that's true, you shouldn't say that.
Genie: You said the wrong thing!
Danson: Oh, erm Hebe! I didn't mean it! Your cooking is really...
Arron: Just said that it is inedible, why are you guys forcing yourselves to eat something that you don't wish to eat?
Selina: Arron, that's a little too much.
Arron: Really? Or should I say you guys are too kind?
Jiro: Hey, you are going a little overboard.
Arron: I am already quite kind with my words.
Hebe ran away with tears.
Selina: Hebe!*chased after her*
Danson: Arron, that's too harsh. She meant well.
Arron: *held his tears*Is she gone?
Genie: You were so mean, do you think she would stay?
Arron: She cooked the whole pot of porridge, right?
Jiro: You are not planning to feed the dogs, are you?
Arron took the whole pot and gobbled everything.
-----------------------------------------------------
Selina: Hebe!*ran around to look for her*
Hebe didn't want Selina to see her and she hid in the back staircases.
Selina walked away to look for her in another places.
Hebe:*crying*Stupid Arron! Idiot! You meanie! Why is he treating me like that?
---Recap---
Hebe: Arron! I baked cookies, do you want some?
Arron: It's for me? How sweet, thanks.
Hebe: Actually, this is my first attempt so I need a guinea pig.
Arron: What?! Nevermind.*took a bite*
Hebe: How is it?
Arron: It's... Delicious! You are gifted!
Hebe: Really? Let me try one.*took one*
Arron: Wait no!
Hebe: It is... Oh my God, why didn't you tell me?
Arron: Well, it was quite delicious.
Hebe: I should discard all of them.
Arron: No!*took the container*
Hebe: It's a failure.
Arron: Nevermind, I can eat all of them.
Hebe: But it tasted like...
Arron: It's okay!*started to eat*
Hebe: Don't force yourself...
Arron: Don't worry! In the future, no matter what you cook I would polish them off for you!
Hebe: Really?
Arron: Of course!
Hebe: No matter how lousy my cooking is?
Arron: Yes, I promised you.
Hebe: Arron! You are a great friend!
---End---
-------------
Around the long table.
Arron:*Thinking* No matter what happens, I will keep my promise to you.
Aoquan: If you want, you can take my share too.
Daya glanced at him.
Aoquan: What?
Arron ignored them and continued eating.
Xiaoyu: Since you care about her so much, why did you make her cry?
Xiaoxun: I hate guys that make girls cry.
Jay: She has a point. Like me, I won't make my Xiaojie cry.
Jade: Enough for that, now is not the time.
Ahwei: I sympathise Hebe.
Yatou: Me too. I wonder how's she now.
Arron finished the whole pot and placed it on the table.
Prince: You really finished the whole pot?
Danson: You are incredible.
Arron: Don't look at me like that, I was only hungry.
Guigui: Too hungry, you mean?
Selina came back to them.
Genie: Where's Hebe?
Selina: I didn't see her anywhere. I went to all possible places but still, there was no sight of her.
Aoquan: 401, let's go look for Hebe!
------------------------------
Back staircases.
Hebe was still crying when someone suddenly grabbed her from the back.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Park.
Arron: You promised not to hurt her, right?
Jiro: Yeah, so?
Arron: Then she should be fine, I can just go back and rest.
Jiro: Hey, I did promised not to hurt her, but didn't guarantee someone else won't hurt her.
Arron: What do you mean?
Jiro: You should know besides me, there's one more mole.
Arron: You meant this person would hurt Hebe?
Jiro: Yeah, if we find out who's the mole we can find Hebe.
Arron: Don't you know who the mole is? Both of you are in the same league.
Jiro: Hello, this person is more cleverer than you and I. I haven't even met him, or maybe her.
Arron: So Hebe is in danger now?
Jiro: Most likely.
Arron: You... Why don't you say earlier?!
Arron ran to search for other possible places.
Jiro: What, and you are blaming me now?
Jiro chased after him.
Jiro:*Thinking*Now he feels the heartache... Blame himself for being too harsh. I sympathise Hebe...
Arron:*Thinking*Hebe, you better be safe... Please...
---------------------------------------------------------
Chalet.
Aoquan: We are leaving this place.
Daya: Oh, Hebe gave me a call. She said that she would be leaving first.
Aoquan: So we don't have to wait for her.
Daya: She said that Selina could help her with her belongings.
Arron | Jiro:*Thinking*Was it that simple?
Arron received a message.
Jiro looked at him.
They exchanged glances.
Message:
Do you want to save Hebe?
The same place where you almost got her killed.
Be there by 12pm.
Anonymous.
Arron: Sorry, I have something important on, I got to go first.
Prince: I help you with your bags.
Arron: Thanks.*ran out of the chalet.*
Jiro: I'm going too, bye! Thanks Brother!*ran out of the house*
Danson: What?! Your things are heavy, you know!
-----------------------------------------------------
On a taxi.
Arron: Jiro, does the mole know you?
Jiro: Yeah, he knows who I am. But one thing.
Arron: What?
Jiro: I tested him and found out that he doesn't know you are 007.
Arron: That explains why the message is sent to my normal cellphone and not the CBT's one.
Jiro: That means he is targeting you, and not 007.
Arron: But... Everyone knew that I'm 007 now.
Jiro: Only Hebe.
Arron: Hey, are you suspecting her?
Jiro: Hello, now the whole world knows you are 007 except her.
Arron: Are you trying to say she kidnap herself to make me save her?
Jiro: It is possible.
Arron: You are really ridiculous.
Jiro: Remember Yongtu that time? It was the mole that want her arrested and he was the one that planted her keychain at the crime scene.
Arron: So? It doesn't prove anything right?
Jiro: The first batch of people that go to the crime scene were you and Hebe. If it wasn't her, don't tell me it was you?
Arron: Okay, although what you say make sense, but remember. Hebe is not cleverer than both of us, she flunked most of her tests.
Jiro: She can act, can't she?
Arron: One more point, she lost her memory. She doesn't know why she end up in the hospital and she don't remember anything that happened during that night.
Jiro: She can recover her memory, right?
Arron: Okay, if it's really her, based on her intelligence, why she doesn't know I'm 007?
Jiro: Hello, you can act so well that I was almost fooled, do you think she can tell?
Arron: Anyway, I only believe in evidence.
Jiro: Even though I sympathise her, I still felt that she is not that simple. Trust me buddy.
Arron: When did we make up? We are not friends anymore, okay?
Jiro: Whatever. Anyway, let me warn you. After this week, our game shall continue. Prepare to die.
Arron: Do you think I'm afraid of you?
-------------------------------------------
In a deserted mansion.
Jiro: Why did you stop walking? Leg cramps?
Arron: This is the place that I never want to go again.
---------------------------------------------------------
In the room.
Hebe was lying motionless on the ground.
Arron ran towards her and lifted her up.
Jiro: How could it be that simple?
Arron: How hard can it be?
Jiro: Don't you think things are going too... smoothly?
Arron: You have a point. But what's important to me now is leaving this place.
-------------------------------
Outside the mansion.
While they were walking, the mansion burst into flames.
Arron: You were right, it wasn't simple.
Jiro: But that's really weird.
Arron: I'm going to take her home, bye.
Jiro: Bye.
Arron walked away with Hebe in his arms.
Jiro:*Thinking*Now the time is already few minutes past noon. If there really was a bomb, it should explode at 12 like what the message stated. But now... Obviously someone was waiting for them to get out before they could blast it.
Jiro walked away too.
------------------------
On a particular street.
Hebe woke up and realised that she was in Arron's arms.
Arron: You finally woke up. Do you know how heavy are you?*let her get down*
Hebe: Sorry.
Arron: I'm leaving, bye.
Hebe: Wait!
Arron: What do you still want?
Hebe: You said if I make one of the three things come true, you would listen to what I have to say, didn't you?
Arron: So?
Hebe: Now that I won the lottery, can you please spare me some time?
There was a moment of silence.
Arron: Okay. Tonight, 10pm right at this spot. I would go away if you're late.*walked away*
Hebe: Okay! Thanks! I would definitely be punctual! YES!
