âBe quiet. Be quiet. Be quiet. QuietâŠ.âNoah looked up because of a constant voice coming from above his head. It wasnât like he was able to see it because he was squatting in a big luggage case with his mouth blocked and his wrists and ankles tied.Noah held his breath and killed his sound. He didnât even talk and held his breath, but âBe quiet. Be quiet,â sound kept coming in. A small gap that only a needle size light comes in came in with the womanâs voice.Be quiet. Be quiet. If you make a sound, Iâm gonna throw this bag to the road and kill you. Be quiet. Be quiet. She knew Noah can hear her voice.Crazy bitch⊠Noah thought she was a crazy bitch. He wasnât cursing. She was actually out of her mind. If she was sane, she wouldnât tell Noah whoâs already quiet to be quiet like playing a broken CD. âOf course, before that she wouldnât kidnap a boy and put him in a bag.The ground was pretty bumpy, so the wheels of the bag was rocking a lot. If he wasnât empty stomach for the whole day, he thought he was going to throw up. He couldnât even move a finger because of motion sickness and dehydration. Even if she didnât tie his wrist, he was sure that he canât do anything.Only thing he can do was just quietly wishing for someone to find him before that crazy bitch kills him.Chances were very low. New York was the neighborhood where people think minding other peopleâs business are embarrassing thing, and no one will be that creative enough to think a young woman with a traveling luggage has a child in it. Perhaps even if someone thinks itâs weird, that person wonât ask a passing by person to open up her luggage.Still maybe somebody will rescue me. People are probably looking for me. Maybe somebody will think of this crazy woman suspicious and grab the bag and âtadaâ rescue me. Even right now. Even laterâŠAh, no one will rescue me⊠He thought about this after some time has passed. In this dark. From that woman. He thought no one will rescue him from the fear of dying. âForever.ââŠcarlton. Mr. Raycarlton? Are you alright?âNoah who was sleeping back seat of the car opened his eyes because of Philâs voice. His heavy and blurry eyes got slowly clearer. A dark world that looked like a hallucination disappeared and a cold air was touching his cheek.Phil was frowning outside of the car door. Noah lightly blinked his eye and smiled like it was nothing.âAh. Aaah⊠âŠWhat was our next schedule?âPhil sighed and answered Noahâs slow question.ââŠâŠNothing. Go home and rest.âNoah felt his cold sweated forehead and smiled saying âTomorrow will be busy.â The schedules that got pushed to tomorrow will make tomorrow very busy that he canât even use one minute, one second mindlessly. Tomorrow 13 minutes of his meal time wonât be a joke, but there is nothing he can do. Just like Phil thought, Noah wasnât in condition where he can work.âDonât you have to go to the hospital? Or, should I call Robert?âPhil said heâll call for the doctor, and Noah shook his head.âAaah, donât. Even if itâs Robert, well, will there be a special way? He will probably give me a stronger medication. âItâs nothing. Donât worry.âAll the modern day people have it right? âNoah lightheartedly waved his hand, and, âBut Mr. Raycarlton, right nowâŠ.,â smiled brightly at Phil who was trying to say something more.âYou are being presumptuous, Phil.âUnderneath his bright smile, Noahâs green eyes were cold. Phil swallowed his dried throat and bowed.ââŠ.Iâm sorry.âNoah waved his hand at bowing Phil and said, âGo home.â Phil looked at the company building where piles of work are still unfinished, but instead of telling him he canât leave because of work, he said bye.âThen, Iâll see you tomorrow.âHe politely closed the car door, and Noah smiled and waved hand cheerfully like he never stared at him coldly. Phil bowed his head, and Noahâs car headed to his house.ââŠ..âNoah leaned on the back again and closed his eyes. He moved his finger to loosen up his tie, but he felt his fingers were trembling. He smirked. Itâs already 20 years ago, but his body is still reacting to it.Whatâs so big deal about that? Noah chuckled and sighed. âIt was actually made into a movie, but the story wasnât that dramatic. Just one woman turned crazy because of jealously towards his Mother, Rebecca Kelly, and kidnapped young Noah. She took Noah everywhere to escape, but coincidentally Noah got rescued. Usually child abduction ends up with childâs death, but he was unusually lucky and was able to go home safely.The movie was a happy ending, and the actual story was similar to the movie. The things happened after were small things that public didnât have to know.Noah put his hand inside his jacket pocket and took out a medicine bottle. Xanax. Heâs been taking these since long time ago, so the effect was very minor. Heâs taking Xanax because he didnât want to change the medicine, but his doctor Robert was constantly offering other tranquilizer. Even Noah himself thought he should stop being stubborn and take other medicine, but today he had no choice. Maybe because of the placebo effect, it was better than not taking anything.When he tried to open the bottle, he saw a small mud stain and stopped.ââŠ..âInstead of taking these medicine, he just stared at that stain. It was the stain that he got when he dropped the bottle a while ago.When he went inside the set, everyone was quiet. There was one man at the end of everyoneâs sight. Noah thought the man that was shivering under the rain was somebody else not Haley. A man who cannot be at that place.When everyone was shocked, Noah was breathing heavily and blinking his eyes.How can I think of that man from him. There was nothing similar between Haley and that man. Haley is the most frivolous person among the people Noah knows, and that man isâŠ.Noah remembered vaguely about that manâs face and closed his eyes to remember him more clearly. In that moment.Trrrrrrr-Noahâs phone rang loudly. It was a call from Phil. Noah thought about it for a second and answered the phone. If Phil calls him even though he knows Noahâs state, it must be an emergency.Noah sighed and even before Noah was able to ask him whatâs going on, Phil answered it first.[A new report about Mason Taylor just came inâŠ. It says he is currently missing during the mission. âIâll send the details through your fax at home.]What should I do? Do you want to track him? Phil asked with a careful voice, and instead of answering, Noah moved his eyes and looked at Xanax bottle. This is certainly the point where a stronger tranquilizer is needed.\n
