Graham house, Prayer meet.
At around 8:00 pm, Elizabeth and Lillian seated themselves, in the large garden looking sadly at the huge photo of the green eyed boy. Candles were lit all around it, while people were consolling the Graham couple.
"You think they are faking it?" Elizabeth whispered in Lillian"s ear.
"Yes. I think so. Just keep an eye to any clue you find."
People started pouring in, lighting candles before the boy"s photo. Just then Elizabeth spotted a man, standing in one corner in the dark. He was wearing a blue sports outfit and looked out of the place. Apart from his clothes, what made him look different was, his red face. Tears were flowing down his eyes and he had covered his lips with his hand, to control his sobbing.
"Look at that man over there. He seems genuinly disturbed." Elizabeth nudged Lillian with her elbow.
The two ladies looked at the man for few more minutes, when suddenly they realised something!
"Xio Lee?!!!!!! The two spoke in unison and rushed towards him.
Next day, 7:00 am.
"I am asking you the last time. Where is my son???! The man growled angrily, while his foot was choking Aurthor"s neck.
"I....I....Told you. He is dead." Samantha replied, nervously.
"No he is not!" Elizabeth shouted at Samantha, her face red in anger.
During the meet, Elizabeth and Lillian told everything to Xio Lee about Graham"s past and also about old monk"s message. Xio Lee was confident that if old teacher said Rhehan had long life, he was alive for sure. The three of them waited till all the people left, so as to confront the couple.
Xio Lee picked up the man from his collar and threw him on a wall. By now Aurthor was bleeding profousely! Samantha feared, she would be the next target, so she revealed everything.
"The driver left him in the outskirts of Bangkok and returned back. That was almost 21 days back. After that we don"t know where he is! Please spare us!"
Xio Lee who was about to punch Aurthor"s face stopped abruptly.
The three of them walked out of the house hurriedly. "We will spare them? Just like that?" Elizabeth asked unhappily looking at the two people, walking along-side.
"Offcourse not! Their entire doc.u.ments and past record is now with police. I let Rhehan stay dead in the police records, also making them the prime suspect of killing their own son. The statement of driver has already been submitted. They will go through h.e.l.l now!" Lillian smiled devilishly at Elizabeth.
Xio Lee was also satisfied by Lillian"s words. Though he so much wanted to kill them there and then, but his priority was to find his son!
"My chartered plane is waiting! Let"s go!" Elizabeth smiled at Xio Lee. She so much wanted to thank him for everything. But currently they were in too much hurry.
Soon the plane landed on the grounds of Bangkok.
"Can we make a public announcement about a missing boy?" Xio Lee stepped out of the plane, taking quick strides.
"No! No! We can"t. If we do that, Davis will kill him. We have to keep it a secret from the world that he is related to Elizabeth."
Lillian explained the entire past history of Rhehan and why he was poisoned. Xio Lee"s eyes popped out hearing Davis"s name. He was considered to be the most powerful and wealthy man of the world.
Not even entire country"s army could touch him or dare to offend him.
"It"s also better if I also stay away from him." Xio Lee understood the whole situation. It was a matter of few seconds for a man like Davis, to find out that Xio Lee had given Rhehan for adoption. May be he already knew this by now and was only silent because, Rhehan is a.s.sumed to be dead!
The three of them sat inside the car with a gloomy face.
"Towards the outskirts." Elizabeth instructed the driver. The car moved towards the outskirts of the city. They searched the whole night but did not find a single trace.
Days pa.s.sed by but they could not find any clue about the boy. They lived in the city with different ident.i.ties, to avoid any complications with Davis.
"The only way left is to ask the old teacher. Tomorrow lets go to mystic woods." Xio Lee sat on the couch of the hotel room, thinking hard.
"You mean back to Singapore?"
"No! No! One small border of the woods falls in Bangkok too. You"ll get a ride from there to the monastery. I can just run and follow you both."
By ride, the two girls knew he must be talking about some animal, upon whom they could ride.
Crying in her bed, Elizabeth switched on the television. Lillian lay on one corner while Xio Lee sat on the couch in dead silence.
"Guys!!!!! Look."
Elizabeth pointed at the television screen in shock.
The news of few wild animals, creating havoc in the city was all over the television. The animals had scared off the people and also two of the animals were sighted as huge lions."
They found him!!!!!
