I AM IAN
The next day, Kim was led out of the room by Helium, and two other girls were brought out from a room as well. Helium said to her, "These are your friends, Pee and Gee. You all should go with Benny and do whatever he tells you to do. Benny will take care of all three of you, is that clear?"They nodded, and Helium added, "You're all very sick, so don't try to do anything strenuous. Just listen to what Benny says, and you'll all be fine, okay?"They nodded again.Afterward, Benny said, "Come with me, ladies." They drove to the airport, and when they were about to go in, Kim asked Benny, "Where are we going?""Just follow me, and you'll find out.""Hold on," Kim said. "I feel very uncomfortable. My body is in pain. Can I see a doctor before we proceed?"Benny replied, "Just be patient. I know you're not feeling well because of your sickness. Once the flight lands at our destination, I'll make sure a doctor sees you, okay?" Kim nodded.And afterward, they continued moving. The other two

WHAT IS THE PRICE?
While Ian was staring at Kim in surprise, Lieutenant Jack walked up to him, held him by his hand, and said, "We need to go.""Ian said, "No, I need to talk to Kim first. Something is wrong with her.""Kim, it's me! Don't you recognize me?" However, the lieutenant pulled him harder, insisting, "Come on, let's go.""Please, just let me clear this out with Kim," Ian begged. "Don't worry, she's not going anywhere," Jack assured him. "Come with me. Right now!" Ian took one last look at Kim and said, "I'll be back, Kim. I promise you, Kim, I'll be back soon.!" Kim stared at him quietly, unable to understand who he was and what he was trying to do.But the fact that someone knew things about herself which she didn't know, piqued her interest. However, it wasn't her decision to make concerning Ian's staying or leaving.As the lieutenant dragged him out of the psychiatric ward, Ian asked him, "What happened to her?" but he didn't say a word in reply.He led Ian into the car, opened the door

I NEED A FAVOR
Ian asked the lieutenant what he needed to do, and Jack told him about his plans and everything that was expected of him. When they were done speaking, Ian asked, "What if Helium finds out that I was here in the station?""Do not worry," Jack assured. "I'll make sure he doesn't find out. Just do your part, and you'll get what you want."Ian nodded and took one of the bags containing coke from the officer. Afterward, he took a cab and went back to Helium. When he went underground, Helium looked at him in surprise. "What happened?" he asked. "I learned you were all nabbed by the police!" Ian shook his head, "No, I was able to get away!"Helium stared at him suspiciously. "How?" Ian thought about the lie Jack had told him and said, "When the police stopped our car, they asked us to get down. Sammy and I did, but Luke was trying to act tough. Sammy ran in one direction, and I ran in the other direction.We both carried one bag of coke each, and they fired at us. But I was faster than

AN IMPORTANT MISSION
Kim sat on her bed in a daze. She remembered how Ian had walked up to her and claimed to know her, but she didn't know who he was! She tried to recall if she had ever seen him before, but nothing came to mind.She laid on her back and closed her eyes, struggling to remember. But the only memory that flashed into her mind was herself in a coffin. It was pitch dark, and as she was about to scream for help, the coffin opened. Suddenly, something was placed over her mouth and nose, and she struggled briefly before losing consciousness.She sat upright instantly, breathing heavily as she recalled the scene. "Was that me?" she asked herself. "How could I have been in a coffin? If it was me, why do I have chains around my hands?" Nothing made sense to her. All she could remember was being in a station where officers asked her questions, and she didn't know how to respond.And then suddenly, she was chained, both her hands and legs, and taken to a room where there were many people like her.

I TRUST YOU
Ian stood in front of the door, waiting until Helium drove away.He heaved a sigh of relief, afterward. His phone had been ringing non-stop, fortunately for him, it was on silent mode, but he knew because of the beeping. Each time the phone beeped, he was scared to look at the screen, fearing it might be the officer calling him.Now that Helium had left, he took out his phone and stared at the screen. He was surprised to see that his father was the one calling him. Hesitating for a while, he wanted to pick up the call, but eventually changed his mind and ended it. It wasn't a good idea for him to speak, as both the woman and the little girl masquerading as his baby mama and daughter could not really be on his side.He couldn't trust anybody except Jack, as he knew that the latter so badly wanted to bring Helium down. He turned around and began walking to the road so he could get a cab to take him back to his hotel. At this point, Jack drove a car and pulled up right in front of him.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Ian's heart began to race, and he was consumed by fear. Helium kept staring at him, waiting for a reply, but he couldn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. At this point, the boiling-looking man said, "If these are the people you walk with, then you cannot be trusted.""Give me a second," Helium said. "I'll take care of this, I promise." Turning to stare at Ian, he said, "I'll ask you for the very last time, Freddy Bones. Why do you have a camera on you?" Ian stared at him with a terrified expression without saying a word in reply.Helium moved closer to him and began to search his body. He finally touched the camera, which was hidden in the middle of his shirt, and pulled it out. He stared at the camera, threw it on the ground, and destroyed it with his foot."I trusted you, Freddy. Why did you betray me?" Helium asked."I brought it as leverage!" Ian replied."Leverage? Against who?" Helium asked.At this point, Jack, who had overheard everything, said to the men with him, "I

I CAN DO ANYTHING
Ian took Kim to his hotel room after boarding a cab. When they went inside the room, Kim looked around the place as it seemed very unfamiliar to her. "Have I been here before?" she asked. He shook his head. "No, this is your first time. Please have a seat."She sat on the bed while he said, "What you're wearing is what you must have been wearing on the day you were taken to the psychiatric hospital. So I want to go out and get some things for you – clothes, shoes, shampoo because I noticed that your hair is kind of dirty and so many others."Kim touched her hair and said, "Yeah, all the time I was there, I never washed it.""It's fine. I'll get everything you need, okay? All you need to do is wait here for me in the hotel room, and I'll be right back.""Okay, I'll wait," she replied."Ian?" she asked."Yes?" he responded."That's your real name, right?""Yes, that's my real name," Ian replied."Please come back." She told him."Why? Of course, I will. Just be patient; I won't take l

ARE YOU A BAD GUY?
A FEW HOURS EARLIERIan shot helium in his clavicle, instantly causing him to fall on his back. While Helium laid on the ground, he heard officers barging in and bullets flying around. He knew he had met his Waterloo, but he wasn't willing to give up. Despite his bleeding neck, he crawled until he found refuge under one of the cars in the garage.As he laid there, he noticed a disgusting hole in the garage that led to a sewer. He knew the chances of going through there were slim, but it was better than where he was. He considered crawling towards the sewer but realized he would be shot if he tried. So he remained hidden under the car.However, the garage soon caught fire, and the men he was supposed to do business with began to burn. It was at that moment he realized Freddy was working with the cops. Perhaps everything Freddy had told him was a lie.Determined not to let himself die and to get the opportunity to seek revenge against Freddy, he took advantage of the chaos caused by the

DOES IT STILL HURT?
"My mom? That woman was my mom? So it's possible she was trying to save me like I thought!" Kim exclaimed."Calm down my dear," Ian said. "Don't get too excited."No, I can't be calm. Let's go to my mom. Since my mom wanted to save me, she'd be very worried. Everyone in my family will be worried not knowing where I am. Ian, let's go to my mom.""Listen to me," Ian said. "It is not a good idea, Kim! "Why is it not a good idea?"Ian sighed, "Listen, I'm going to tell you about our story. First of all, I want you to see some videos." He opened his phone and began to show her videos of their moments together. They made her laugh, blush, and feel extremely happy.He said, "You and I have been in love, and we dated for a while before I went to meet your parents to seek their consent to openly court you. We were so happy together. We were even made prom queen and king before we graduated high school. Suddenly, you were diagnosed with leukemia, and they said you had a short time to live.""

RUN!
Days passed, turning into weeks, and then months. Ian and Kim spent time together. He did his best to care for her, cooking meals, taking her out shopping, to see movies, and engaging in a variety of fun activities they usually enjoyed together before her supposed death. The doctor visited twice a week to aid in her recovery process. Gradually, Kim began to accept this new life. She particularly enjoyed going to concerts with Ian and shopping together. Ian was determined to give her the best life possible.Back home, Ian's father, concerned about his prolonged absence, started tracking his expenses. Despite providing Ian with the money, he grew worried about how it was being spent. He began calling Ian every day. Ian would step out to answer these calls, not wanting Kim to worry about the sacrifices he was making to be with her. He assured his father that he was doing okay, spending time with friends, and trying to move on."You can't keep grieving over this girl forever," his fathe
