Chapter 15 The Passenger

Francis closed his mother's diary after reading a few pages.
'Your sacrifices for me will never be in vain mom' the young man said to himself as he gently caressed his mother's photo.
The young man got up and left his mother's room to return to his room while carrying both the envelope and diary which was owned by his mother. When the young man entered his room he went to his cabinet and opened it. The cabinet is not an ordinary cabinet because at the backside of the cabinet is a secret compartment where the clothes make it hidden, the compartment has a built-in sliding door and can be opened by sliding the panel to the left side of the cabinet.
When Francis opened the compartment, he placed the documents he carried there. Then he took the clothes that he would wear after he cleaned his body. He needs to freshen up to think properly. Before going to his bathroom, Francis removed the contents of the pocket of his pants one by one. When he pulled out his cell phone, a USB given by Micay fell from his pocket. Micay had given him a USB earlier that looked like it was just a simple basketball keychain. The young man stared at the USB before placing it in his drawer next to his bed and then walked towards the bathroom.
"You're already frowning"
Louie told his sister because from the time that they arrived at the airport and until they boarded the plane, his sister kept frowning and ignoring him completely.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Miguel was in a hurry so I sent someone to fetch you."
She just looked at him before putting on the headset and closing her eyes, a sign that she didn't want to talk to him at that moment. The young man just sighed before turning his attention in another direction. Later the young man thought of going to the bathroom. When he stood up, he ran into a man. He waited for him to apologize but he just passed him by.
When his men saw what had happened, they planned to stand up, but when the man looked at them, for some unknown reason, they seemed immobile. The man's aura is too intimidating for them. Louie felt the same way when their eyes met as the latter looked back at him. Louie was the first to regain his sight and then walked towards the bathroom of the plane. The man walked away as he looked ahead where the girl was sleeping near the window.
Micay seemed to feel something strange around her. When she opened her eyes and felt that his brother was not by her side she turned around and there she saw the man staring at her. His facial expression seemed hard to understand. The girl just competed with him through her gaze. There was no trace of fear, instead, the girl's expression was blank as she looked at him. That was the scene Louie caught up with.
"Micay!" the young man called his sister.
At the same time as the girl turned to her brother, the man also turned to him. Louie was even more surprised when the man grinned at him before he looked at the girl again and then walked away.
"I hope you're okay." the girl said sarcastically to his brother who regained his consciousness, and only then was he able to walk back to his seat next to his sister.
Louie didn't even know that he was following the man with his gaze until he disappeared from his sight completely.
"Who's that?" later Micay asked him.
"I don't know," he replied
"Why does he look at you like that?"
"I don't know. I only saw him now. Did he approach you?"
"No, I just woke up feeling like something was weird. And when I opened my eyes he was already standing right where you found him"
"Didn't he tell you anything at all? How long has he been standing there?"
"I don't know. He didn't even say anything, he was just standing there."
The young man just became silent at his sister's answer. He doesn’t remember ever being a partner or rival of theirs in business with that face. Whoever this man was he needed to know right away as soon as possible.
--
'I found you. Soon I will be able to take revenge for what your father did to my mother. When the time comes, you will know the worst nightmare you can ever have.' the man said to himself as he returned to his seat.
But not long after he sat down, someone unexpectedly approached him. Suddenly this person sat next to him as if they had known each other for a long time. He didn't look at him as he spoke.
"I don't know what your real purpose was nor how you found out where we were. But this is all I'm going to tell you. Thank you so much for helping Francis."
To the man's surprise, the girl turned to him and then smiled at him. Before she stood up again to return to her seat.
'How strange of her. Didn't she think she could be harmed for what she did? She didn't think that I could kill him.' the young man said to himself while shaking his head, and he did not realize that his voice had been slightly raised.
When his cell phone suddenly rang to indicate that someone had texted him. "I know you won't kill me. Because if you have that kind of intention, you already did that while I'm sleeping, don't you?"
While the furrows his forehead, the young man almost types a response when he receives another text from the girl.
"Don't be surprised. I had a tracking device attached to your clothes earlier."
The young man suddenly stood up and immediately rubbed his body to touch the device that the girl referred to. He did not see it immediately until his right hand accidentally landed in his pocket when he took a handkerchief, something pierced him inside his pocket. When he took it, it looked like an earring with a small letter 'M' like design.The man could hardly believe how the girl got through this without his knowledge. After a while, his cell phone rang again and the message came from the same girl again.
"M for Micay. And don't be surprised how I did that. It already came from you. I'm a different case, am I not."
The young man just became dumbfounded while looking at the device he was holding when the girl texted him again.
" Take Care. Until we meet again."
