Semua Bab Rick's Dilemma: Bab 111 - Bab 120

The wedding day finally came. The guests in the house were all sitting around various rooms, chatting with each other. Howard and his wife had arrived to stand in awe of the villa. Outside the front entrance, Howard was filled with envy. As the couple walked into the house, Howard could not believe such a place was meant for a family to actually live in. It was more of a palace, one that should be toured by the public and gawked at. His mind was such that everything he looked at, he wondered what such things would cost. Everything was about money with him, just like his sister Lois. The two were so alike in that regard. Upstairs in Debbie's bedroom, Alice was being pampered ahead of her big day. First off, she was given a massage to help her to relax. Manicure and pedicure came next. Then her hair and makeup were professionally done by a team from an exclusive salon in Fing City. Then it was time to put on her wedding gown. At this time, her mother entered the room. She was there t

From Fing City to Bali was about an eight hour flight. So Li Fan and Alice had time to chat about the day's events. An hour into the flight, an attendant came to ask if they were ready for a light meal. They both had not been able to eat much all day, so both of them were starving by this time. The attendant returned a few minutes later with a serving tray. She presented them each a plate of sliced fruit and some cheeses. After that, she served them tea. Before retreating, she asked them if they would want a larger meal later. She could tell that they were hungry by the way they both attacked the fruit plate. Alice asked "What do you have in mind? I haven't eaten since breakfast, and I really didn't eat much then." Li Fan echoed her remarks as well. The attendant gave them a menu card and said "You may select anything you like from this menu! We will be happy to prepare it for you." Alice and Li Fan looked over the menu and made their selections. A while later, the attendant

Howard had stayed behind for a few days to try and get Rick to give him a job in one of his companies. Rick was adamant not to do so. Eventually, Howard had to return to Jelang. Once he got back, he decided to go and see his older sister, Lois. At first. Lois would not open the door for him. But Howard finally persuaded her to let him in. As they sat in the living room, Howard chatted a bit about the wedding, then turned to other matters. He refrained from mentioning Lois' passed deeds, and got to his point of this visit. "Lois, I know that you are in a terrible position right now. I, too, am in need of help. Why don't we try and help each other out? I'm sure that if we put our heads together, that we can come up with some sort of plan to benefit us both. It seems that our main problem is Rick. Do you agree?" Lois thought a moment, then replied "You are right. I do need someone to help me out of this mess. And Rick is the cause of it all. So what do you have in mind?"

What Lois did not know, was that the house had been stripped of all personal items. It had been set up to conceal fake drugs and equipped with hidden security cameras and microphones as well. Everything that Lois and Howard said would be captured on video and tape recorded. When Lois got up from her rest, she ambled into the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. She and Howard had only each eaten a bowl of plain noddles on the train on the way to Fing City. Lois was starving at this point. As she was rumaging around, Howard walked in with the same idea as his sister. After finding nothing at all in the pantry, they decided to order take out. As they were seated in the dinning room eating, Howard asked "Lois, what should we do now? How long do you think it will be before they find out that you have escaped?" Lois was worried about this too. "They had brought me provisions just yesterday, so I doubt that they will come knocking on the door for a few more days yet. So I

General Han had called in a favor from the local chief of police. He explained to the chief what was going on, and that this was no more than a training exercise for his security team. The chief admired the general, as he had also served under him while serving in the army years ago. He was more than happy to assist General Han in his endeavour. Lois and Howard were placed in an unmarked car with lights on top with a siren. They were taken to the local police station and put in a secured room for questioning. They both were trembling and looked scared to death. They had no idea how this had come about. Howard just could not believe that his sister Alice was dealing drugs. And having met Li Fan, he did not seem the type either. Lois was just dumbfounded. She could not understand any of this. Back at Old Wilson's place, the group around the monitor were all laughing at the scene. It was like watching a poorly filmed TV drama. The "Police Officers" would need to spruce up the
