When Noah met her for the first time, it was that day morning. Seven year old Noah who followed his mother, Rebecca Kelly, to the filming set followed this one depressed looking woman because she said his mother was looking for him. Usually he didnāt act this stupid, but that day he really wanted to go home. It was nearly the time his mother promised.Noahās Mother, Kelly who is born as an actress, enjoyed other peopleās attention. She liked to go around with baby angel like Noah and enjoyed bragging about giving birth to this lovely child.Noah didnāt care about coming out in the camera since he did it when he was really young, but it is a tiring thing for a child when people come and talk to him like in the filming set. Because of that, Noah really didnāt like talking to people in the set by himself sitting down unlike other places, but Rebecca promised that they will go on a two weeks of summer vacation if he waits for her for two hours. He didnāt think it will only take two hours, but it was very boring waiting for her so long thatās why he followed her when that woman said his mother is looking for her.She took him to a secluded parking lot. When he thought itās little weird, she took out a stun gun from her bag, and in a second his sight became dark.The place he opened his eyes was at her basement. Noah woke up in a cold and dark place, and first thought he was dead. He couldnāt see anything and couldnāt move an inch. The woman paste tape all over his body. Except for his nose, his face, arms, and legs were tied with tape, so he couldnāt move a muscle.How long was he shivering in that dark? A very long time has passed. During that time, Noah fell asleep and woke up and fell asleep again. Some time has passed, he woke up from a sound of a heavy door opening. Somebody came in.Noah held his breath and didnāt move a muscle lying down. A person who came in moved around like looking at Noah, and Noah held his breath more. He felt something was approaching him, and he felt a warm breath on his ear.āI know you are awake.āThe hot breath breathing in front his nose had a disgusting smell. Noah held his head up and hit her chin really hard. With a big sound, she fell backward screaming, and Noahā¦ couldnāt move anymore after that. It didnāt work like a movie where a main character successfully runs away. His arms and legs were tied up and couldnāt see anything. The woman stopped little bit but grabbed his hair and slapped his face nonstop.āYou cocky brat. You are same as that bitch. That bitch acts like the world canāt even touch you.āHis ear was ringing, and he was nose bleeding. He also tasted some saltiness in his mouth. Her giggling sound sounded like his ear was covered with something.āIf you die, it will be something to see on her face, right?āShe said it trembling like sheās crying.āYou thing somebody will save you, right? Because you are the main character. Because you are the special person, you think you wonāt die like this.āShe was panting like she laughed too much. The woman said to young Noah like sheās talking to herself.āIām sorry, but the police already came by. I acted like I was worried to hear that you disappeared, and they just left. āIām good at acting.āNot even comparing to your mom. She murmured with weak small voice. Iām way better in acting than her. The faces are all similar because of plastic surgery. Why canāt I do it. Why me. Itās because sheās richā¦ because her family is wealthy. No, she probably rubbed that big boobs of hers to the PD. That trashy bitch. Dirty, dirty, dirty. āmurmuring. She said it very fast.āI am the main character in this movie.āShe whispered with her smelly hot breath.āThe movie where the main character destroy that bitch who looks down on people and make common people like me feel betterā¦.āShe slowly took off the tape that was covering Noahās eyes. There was a slight light coming in, and he could see her face. She had a common face, but he couldnāt take his eyes off her face. Her eyes were shining weirdly. She was smiling with craziness and virulency in her eyes. He saw she had a big kitchen knife in her hand.āTrembling? You are trembling, right?āShe murmured, āHaha, Iām so happyā¦ā looking at young Noahās body and eyes shivering.āGood. Even you who were born with everything is a normal person. Letās show the world that everyone dies if they get stabbed.āShe said it happily and rose the knife. That knife was big and sharp enough to break a small child.In that moment when Noah held his breath and closed his eyesā¦Ding dong. āDing dong. Ding dong. The bell continuously rang. She was trying to stab Noah with the knife and got mad and went up the stairs. She went up stomping and when she disappeared, Noah tried his best to move his body.He thought he should grab peopleās attention by breaking something, but she came back before that. She had a nervous face murmuring āWhy did they come back? Why?ā and glared at Noah with scary eyes. There still was the bell sound from the outside. She quickly grabbed Noah and pushed him inside a dusty traveling luggage. He tried to refuse to go in, but because he was wrapped in tape, he couldnāt do anything. Noah squatted in the luggage, and she closed the bag. For a second, between the gaps, he saw her thinking if killing him and taking him in a trash bag is better. But she probably thought about the summer weather and just closed the bag.In the middle, she rode like a taxi, but most of the time, she walked. It seems like she is looking for a place where she can hide the corpse. Noah was nervous whenever she stopped dragging the bag.Did she arrived somewhere. If that happens, I might really die this time. That kind of fear pushed him down.For hours, she dragged Noah along. Noah lie down like he was dead sweating cold sweat in the bag where it was slowly warming up. He couldnāt even open his eyes very well.He heard the siren sound occasionally, but they couldnāt find Noah and passed by. Even when a hot afternoon passed and became a little chilly night, the siren sound passed by him. Noah didnāt get disappointed anymore and breathe heavily.His arms and legs were numb for a while. Hot, thirsty, dizzy, and stuffy. His conscience was continuously going off.Maybe sheās thinking of killing him this way.Noah moved his two hands tied behind him. Because the blood didnāt go through, he couldnāt feel anything, but his finger nail made a scratching sound with the bag. Scratch, scratch, scratch. He didnāt mean to make a particular sound, but it made a slight sound. But soon he felt a big shock. It looks like she kicked the luggage.Dying this way, dying that way. Noah didnāt care about it anymore and scratched the bag few times more. Soon bam! Bam! Bam! He felt the shock on top of his head and his rib side. The luggage fell on the floor, and his head was ringing.āā¦.āNoah moaned little bit. The luggage was lifted and quickly dragged again. Bang! Bang! The luggage was bumping into places, so his body was shaking. His head was ringing, and Noah closed his eyes, and he was shaking everywhere.Smell of urine came in between the gap. Ziiip! The luggage finally opened with annoyed sound, but Noah didnāt look up. He didnāt have energy to raise his head. Dirty tile and toilet. He thought this place was a stall in the restroom.āFuckā¦, does this make sense? Were there this many cops in the United States?āWhen I reported my boyfriend was beating me, do you know how many cops came? No one. The cops said they were busyā¦ it seems like they arenāt busy when it has something to do with rich people. āShe bit her nails like sheās little agitated. She probably thought in no time sheāll get caught.āIf Iām gonna get caught, I thought I should kill you before I get caught.āNoah heard her voice and thought āI see, Iām gonna die.ā Iām gonna die, now. He thought the whole time in the dark about when heās going to die, so it wasnāt that shocking.āBut. A woman who has everything thinking about the son who died. It looks some kind of like a tragic main character.āNoah looked up slowly. She grabbed Noahās face with one hand and rose the knife.āBut how ābout taking care of her disable kid forever?āThat isnāt that romantic, right? āshe laughed opening her eyes wide. Trembling, her hands were trembling, too. The woman who is cornered made Noahās half closed eye to open up wide.She saw Noahās beautiful green eyes shaking and felt anger and stabbed directly. The knife pointed at the eyeball missed probably because either she was shaking too much or because Noah turned his head. The knife just scratched his forehead.The blood fell on top of his eye, and the sight became red because of the blood. He saw she was putting up the knife again. And in that moment.Creak- she stopped putting her arm up hearing a small sound coming from outside. There was sound of footsteps. Somebody came inside the restroom.Gulp. She swallowed her dry throat. For a second, she moved her eyeball around and put Noah back in the luggage and zipped up the bag. She probably thought Noah could make a sound.The footstep got closer and soon, knock knock, somebody knocked on the restroom door. Knock knock. She knocked telling the other person that someoneās in here. But there was a knock again.āThere is a person inside.āHer body was shaking, but her voice was very calm. It even sounded like sheās little annoyed. It sounded like you can use another stall.Noah closed his eyes hearing her voice. That person will use another stall because of her calm voice and leave. No one will save me because this is not a movie. In reality, there is no hero or a rule about happy ending. She was right, and Noah knew it too.Noah opened his eyes. Because she didnāt zipped the bag completely, he saw the dirty ceiling.He was breathing and was blinking his eyes. If I can, I wish I can just die like this. Blinking his eyes and in some point not opening his eyes. The knife looks painful, and the place where he got slight cut felt hot like burning in a fire. Blink. His opened eyeās sight was shaking. His body was shaking. Dying was actually really scary.Knock knock. The person knocked the door once more for some reason. She stood up like sheās mad, and somebody said something.āYou know you canāt kill a person here?āThe voice was coming from the top. She was surprised and looked up. On top of the restroom door, somebody was looking at her.Noah looked at that small head between the zippers. The person in front of the restroom light was a black hair man. Little younger to be called man. Between boy and manās age guy looked inside the gap of the luggage.Noah thought he had an eye contact with him.Expressionless black eye was directly staring at him.āMason Taylor?āNoah blinked his eyes and replied like heās asking something obvious.āWho knows? Probably heās dead?āāā¦Do you really think heās dead?āPhil asked āMason Taylor is gone missing. Where do you think he is?ā and now he asked back little bit in panic. Noah tilted his head and laughed and said lightly.āMissing in Afghan during a mission. It means heās dead.āHe said it very easily like it was obvious. But Phil argued, āBut itās not like his death was reported. They couldnāt even find the corpse. According to the report, the chances of him living is pretty high.āThe information that Phil and Noah received from the informant was like this: 1. Mason went inside the weaponry merchant Altaās bunker with two of his team members. 2. About ten minutes after they went in, Altaās bedroom exploded. 3. Because of that explosion, the scene became very messy, but they found suspected to be Altaās body. And they found a body badly destroyed, so itās unrecognizable, but it looked like Aaron Green, one of the team member. 4. Altaās safe disappeared.From these information, itās right to analyze that another disappeared member, Ashley Suy, and Mason ran away with the safe.āA person who worked in Zii for more than 10 years, run away with the safe betraying his team members?āOh no. You are saying something stupid today. Noah lightly criticized him with a relaxed tone. Getting betrayed by the members and got killed and blamed sounds better. Mason wasnāt a reckless man.āBut, 50 million dollar will make a saint turn his eyes.āNoah smiled with a bored eye like Philās reply was little annoying. Under his smiling eye lid, his eyes were very ideal and cold. He crossed his legs and put his hand on his knee and leaned deeply on the chair.āLetās stop talking about this subject. Heās probably dead anyway.āNoah said it conclusively. Noahās act was showing Phil is talking something useless, but Phil hesitated little bit but said,āIā¦ think heās alive. He was continuously in danger, but he managed to survive.āI think heās alive this time as well. Phil didnāt think that man was dead. He was pretty competent mercenary, and he succeeded on even a harder mission. There is no way that man died that easily. Phil who watched that man for a while thought he is alive somewhere.Phil thought, Noah has a pretty good sense, but he was always little pessimistic about these. Just as expected, when Phil said he thinks Mason is alive, Noah smiled and looked outside the blue sky.Phil took a glimpse of Noahās face reflecting on the window. He was bright as usual but looked little tired.āā¦If you think he is already dead, then why are you taking an action?āIf he is trying to check if he is dead, he couldāve hired a person and wait for the report. Phil asked but instead why did you cancel all that heavy schedule and took an action, but Noah didnāt say anything. He just took a glance at him.Phil realized he asked something stupid and apologized right away, āā¦Iām sorry.ā He closed his eyes like heās sleeping, and Phil didnāt talk to him anymore.How long did the time passed. After a few minute, there was a message from the cockpit.[We have arrived. We are landing soon. āIt will shake little bit.]Phil looked outside the window hearing Pilot Luiso. Noahās charter plane was entering New York JFK airportās runway. Phil looked at Noah who was closing his eyes. There is no way this sensitive man didnāt feel the vibration. Either because he doesnāt want to open his eyes or he really doesnāt know, but his eyes were still closed.āMr. Raycarlton. We have arrived at New York.āPhil carefully woke him up, and Noah very slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were even colder than usual.āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāWhew Iām little lateā¦ Well but itās longer!\n
