As they walked into the house, Ian looked around and asked the private investigator, "Do you live here?""Yes, I do. Isn't that why I brought you here?"Ian said, "Well, this house is really beautiful. You must make a lot of money from being a private investigator.""Yeah, right... I guess I do." Bob replied.As he led them towards a room, they noticed a man who seemed to be in his forties, sitting on the couch and drinking. There were empty bottles by his side, which showed that he had been drinking for a while.The man turned, saw the private investigator, together with Ian and Kim, and said, "Oh, you're back?" Afterward, he turned his attention back to his drink."I'm sorry you have to see this," the investigator said to Ian. "That's my older brother. He got a rough divorce, and his wife kicked him out of the house. He lost his job, and you know how it is; after the divorce, his wife got everything, now look at him. He spends his time drinking and gambling, just basically wasting a
"Do not do anything to alert those two. Ian is very smart, and he has a gun," the investigator warned his brother."Okay, okay! Alright." His brother agreed.After speaking to his brother, the investigator looked in the direction of Ian's room to ensure that they did not hear his conversation. Afterward, he went into the kitchen to get their dinner.While in the room, Ian kept thinking about what Kim had said. She had fallen asleep at this time, and he was staring at her. In the end, he told himself, "She has a point. I shouldn't trust anyone at a time like this. No, that would be a big mistake."The investigator came into the room with their dinner, but Ian said, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you, Kim and I already ate.""What? But you did not have any food with you.""Yeah, we had some snacks inside Kim's bag, so we were pretty hungry, and the food was kind of delayed, so we ate that and we are full. Kim is even asleep. Sorry that you went through the trouble. Probably, in the morni
After Kim tapped Ian repeatedly, he finally opened his eyes and asked, "Has the truck stopped?"She heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes, there are voices approaching. I think the men are headed in this direction.'Ian opened the door and came out of the truck. He helped Kim out of the truck as well and closed the door.As the voices drew nearer, Kim said, "We don't know if they're bad or good men. Let's leave here and look for a hotel."They walked away from the truck, crossing to the other side of the road, and began to move through the bushes. Ian suggested that they hitch a ride, but Kim said it was too dangerous. It was better they continue trekking until they found a hotel or motel to lodge.After a while, though, Kim heard a sound and turned to see that Ian had fallen on the ground. She stared at him in surprise, completely horrified, and bent over to shake him, but there was no response from him. "Ian, Ian, wake up," she said anxiously, but he still did not respond. She a
Ian and Kim alighted from the train in the dead of night. As they walked to the road, they searched for a cab for a few minutes but couldn't find any going in their direction. In the end, Ian decided that they walk back home since the distance from the train station to his house was walkable.After walking for almost an hour, they finally arrived at Ian's father's house. He led Kim to the back and began trying to pick the lock."Why not just knock?" she asked him."Look at the time; it's almost morning. My dad should be asleep by now, and besides, I don't want him to see us in this condition or to see you until I've had a conversation with him."She nodded and stood by the side while he kept trying to pick the lock until he eventually succeeded. "Wow, I didn't think you would succeed," she said to him."Trust me, this is not my first time," Ian told her, and they both smiled.The moment they went into the house, they heard Ian's father's voice saying, "Is someone there? Who's there?
In the morning, about four hours later, Kim opened her eyes and woke up. It was still a little bit dark outside. She yawned and felt very thirsty. She thought of asking Ian for a glass of water, but when she saw that he was still sound asleep, so, she decided not to disturb him and left the room to get water from the living room.As she came out of the room, she walked around the house as carefully as possible, searching for the location of the kitchen while being careful not to be seen by anyone. But in the end, she told herself that if his father caught her, it wouldn't be a big deal since Ian had already said he was going to tell his father everything.She finally located the kitchen, poured a glass of water for herself, and drank it. Afterward, she began heading back to her room. However, the sound of a couple moaning caught her attention, and she stopped. She stared in the direction that the sound was coming from and began to wonder who the woman in the room was because she felt
Kim nodded, "Yes Ian, my mom is in there, having sex with your father and cheating on my father.""Those two are really disgusting," Ian replied. "You know what? I cannot take this. Wait in here for me." He angrily stormed out of the room and went to his father's room, knocking on the door violently.His father asked, "Who's there? How did you get in here?" He quickly got out of bed, opened the door, and was shocked when he saw Ian."You're back?" He was so happy that he tried to hug Ian, but Ian took a step back."How could you? How could you, Dad? I am so disgusted and disappointed in you; I had so much respect for you.""What are you talking about?" His father asked."Oh, don't even pretend, Dad," Ian replied. "Where do I start from? That you're having an affair with your friend's wife? Or that you conspired to get Kim, the only girl I ever loved, out of my life? I've never seen a father betray his own son to this extent.""What are you talking about?" His father tried to deny it
Ian's father and Kim's stepmother stared at her in surprise while Ian said, "Let me ask you again, Dad. Did you really see Kim in that coffin before she was put into the ground?"Ian's father, who couldn't take his eyes off Kim, began to stutter, "I... I... Well... Uhm..."Ian shook his head. "What do you have to say, Kim's stepmother?"She kept silent, knowing that she had already been caught.Ian moved backward. "Dad, do you know that I am most disappointed in you? Not only did you commit a crime, you lied to my face. Even when I gave you one last chance to come clean, you still lied to my face. You disgust me, and I regret the fact that I was ever born to you. You're a disgrace to humanity, Dad.""Don't say that," Ian's father replied. "Please listen to me.""Listen to you? Listen to you for what? What do you want to tell me, that you're sorry? Do you want to apologize to me or Kim? What difference would it make? Would it change the fact that Kim went through hell? Would it change
Ian left the house with Kim, and they took a cab to one of his friend's houses. When he arrived, he knocked on the door and waited outside since it was still very early in the morning.When his friend came out and saw him, he screamed in surprise, "Ian, you're back!" They both hugged. "When did you come back? What happened? You weren't taking my calls and I was worried. I even asked your dad, and he said he heard from you once or twice. Oh, I'm so sorry. I know the death of Kim really hit you hard, but...""No, it's okay," Ian replied. "Forget about it. I'm sorry I wasn't taking your calls. I was going through a really rough time, and there was just so much on my mind. But I'm back now. I came to get my car, the one I asked you to watch for me.""Oh, okay, your baby is sitting pretty in my garage," his friend replied. "Who's that, by the way?" he asked.Ian turned and stared at Kim, who was covering her head with a hood to disguise her appearance. "She's a friend, don't worry.""Oh,
