Tavia's breathing slowly calmed back down as she sat behind the bushes. She wiped the sweat of her face. 'I'm never going to climb those gates again,' she thought to herself as she stared at the black iron rails, that surrounded the mansion. She brushed some dirt off her clothes and dashed into the workers corner of the building. She felt a surge of triumph as she slipped into the mansion sucessfully unnoticed. Creeping like a snail, she attempted to appear out the basement and back in the hallway, only to find her father waiting with a death glare. Tavia gulped.

"You - where did you go?" Mr. Yeung asked hoarsely.

"Err...wel- I came back right," Tavia said with a weak smile, but shocked to see the frustartion in his expression.

He sighed, "where's Rainie, she didn't find you?"

Tavia stared blankly at her father, "what?"

"Tavia," her father began with a serious tone, "what do you really take Rainie as - part of the family..."

"What do you mean?" Tavia asked, although she acted not to be worried to whatever her father was about to say, "I take her as my older sister and you - her daughter right?"

Her father looked away, "I've always treated her as my own daughter...but she's about to turn 18 and your going to be 17 soon..."

"Hey father..."

Tavia watched as her father slowly walked away, "be ready Tavia - things are going to change..." he breathed, "arrange for someone to find Rainie - she's not back yet..."

Tavia stared at her fathers back. She couldn't help but mouth these words after him, inaudibiliy, "what can change father, what is going to happen, why did you say such troublesome words?" Tavia's heart stopped momentarily, 'Ahh -RAINIE - I almost forgot.'

A smile appeared upon Rainie's face as she tried to run to the train station. She'd just recieved a call from home knowing Tavia was safe, all she ever cared about. It was getting dark and she knew she couldn't cope. The darkness somehow was always disturbing for her, a utter part of her lost memories.

"H-Help!"

Rainie turned. Someone out there, a voice, they needed help. Not thinking, Rainie began to follow that voice. Rainie turned and quicklym she pulled the little lost boy into a tight hug. His crying was muffled. "It's alright..."

The little boy, about 6, stopped crying and looked at Rainie. "Where do you live?" she gently asked him.

"I-I lost my money and..."

Rainie smiled, "I'll take you home."

Alone now, Rainie stared at her purse back at the train station. She didn't have enough money, after lending it to the kid. She felt relieved though, he wasn't abandoned, his parents were also looking for him. She slotted her own purse back into her pocket and felt slightly shocked. She pulled out Mike's wallet, she'd completely forgot. She opened it and her desire to go home was strong. 'I shouldn't do this but...the darkness...it frightens me...' Rainie conflicted with herself, 'I...I really can't stay out here alone...' Tears began to flow out the corner of her eye. The impact of childhood had let her to the fear of being alone at night. The agony of the mere thought strangled her soul. She clenched her fist, finally taking the money in the wallet and got on the train.

From a distance, Mike ran towards Rainie, too breathless to shout her name. He kicked the side of the door as he just missed her. He watched helplessly as the train pulled away.

"!" he couldn't help but call out, watching Rainie's back disappear. "Using other people's money...just dispicable!"

"Hey, Mike," a voice called.

Mike turned, his expression still of disbelief and anger, "Jiro Wang."

Jiro pulled off his helmet, "came to see if you got your purse back."

"What does it look like?"

"You don't give a damn Mike, your a rich bastard anyway..."

Mike walked over to Jiro and placed his hands on the back seat of his motor-bike. Jiro looked at Mike's stern expression, "don't tell me."

"Though I'm annoyed and feel deteste towards that girl, for using my money like her own property, that's not what I'm after..." Mike began to explain, "the thing I stole from Genie - I placed in my wallet and..."

"If you don't get it back quickly...Cat Idol will find you...Mike - your in a mess."
