Chapter 17

"Boss, here's the information of his hideout," said handing him the file.

Name: Mathew Kim

Age: 54

Place: Street 23, Block B, CG Group's old warehouse.

"This time I'll surely catch that jerk. Get ready." "Boss, tomorrow first thing in the morning, we'll go for it, right?" He nodded in agreement as they all went with their works, busy preparing for their big day. He sighed releasing all his stress from his past anxieties for not finding a single lead. A little smile and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He seemed relieved.

-What happened? You're looking happy?

-Nothing.

He said coldly.

-What nothing? If nothing had happened then why you are smiling sitting here and also you seem very much relieved.

-Alright, I'll tell you. I've got a lead. Tomorrow in the morning we'll raid there and gather more of the leads.

-Oh, good for you. See I told you, you're merely stressing yourself nothing much. Ok, now to the main point is that can I join you guys?

-Absolutely not.

-Why not? I also know how to fight and pull the trigger and shoot straight. Your father taught me well.

She said grumpily. He chuckled at her behavior.

-Even if my dad or some professional guru taught you, I wouldn't have taken with me.

-But why? I won't be burden. I promise.

She said almost begging.

-Don't do that. You're my mom and I can't afford to lose you too. You're my only family left in this cruel world.

She didn't say anything. She stood there, listening to his every word very carefully as if it was some important lecture or something.

-Actually I just wanted to have a look at that person who dared to kill my darling. You know that I promised myself to seek revenge against him whoever killed him.

She said bursting into tears.

-Anyways go now. I hope you'll be successful in catching that bastard.

He said in a reassuring tone.

-Mom, don't stress yourself. Don't do anything ridiculous while I'm gone. I'll surely catch him and give him the right torture he gave to my dad.

She nodded. He left. They all followed him from behind and got into cars and drove away. Soon the house went dangerously silent.

She burst into tears. Her personal maid came to her and tried to calm her but she started to cry even harder. After a while, for exhaustion from crying for so long, she fell asleep on the sofa in the hall room. Her personal maid brought a blanket and wrapped her with it as she was shivering from cold and folding like an earthworm.
