Dean let out a long deep sigh as soon as their cars entered their property."Whew! That was close!" he whispered. He felt like they were in an action movie because he could notice and observe from how hard the two cars were trying to get closer to Shawn"s car. Their intentions were definitely not good and the men sitting in those cars looked frustrated when they could not get through the security cover for Shawn.
Old Man Skull was obviously desperate to make a daring move as this out in an open area.
He shook his head and grinned. His soft cuddly pillow was really brilliant for knowing beforehand the possible plans of Old Man Skull and his ways to execute it.
"That old man will not be able to get new ideas with that evil brain of his getting that old now… and his brain is now mine already." he mused proudly.
Finally, another few more minutes and they were almost near the Ken"s main entrance gate.
Meanwhile, in the other car, in which Shawn was sitting, the bodyguard had noticed the cars from both sides and commented to the driver, "Look at those people, reckless driving like that is the reason why many accidents are happening. Tsk tsk."
Then the cameraman a.s.signed to Shawn got it all recorded. "We are almost near the Ken"s territory, the Chairman said no more recording once they are inside their respective homes," the driver reminded the cameraman who just nodded.
Shawn who was feeling nervous seemed not to care at all with his surroundings… He was feeling very strange. Lost in his emotional roller coaster, he was oblivious to his surroundings.
He inhaled and exhaled several times to relax his nervous soul while they were travelling. He was so engrossed in himself that he did not even notice what was happening outside on the road, involving two cars that were trying to get near his car.
His thoughts were wandering on how he should react once he arrives at the Ken"s Mansion. How should he address everyone? To be honest, everything felt awkward for him.
He will meet everyone today, the Kens, and he couldn"t help but to have mixed emotions. This was the first time he felt the so called "cold feet" and it was killing him.
The car stopped at the entrance of the mansion and he could see Ryu went down even Dean was already near his car door. The two waited for him to get out of the car and he was taking long.
But what made Shawn take so long to step out was the sight of his mother and father who were standing right in front, waiting for him outside the house...
"Big Bro. Let"s go." Ryu said as he opened the door.
Shawn stepped out of the car and walked together with Ryu and Dean but then he saw his mom ran towards him.
The next thing he knew was he felt a small body that hugged him tightly. Weird, but how a small body like this could cover him wholly with its warmth. His whole being was jolted with an unknown bliss and warmth. His entire consciousness was jolted awake. He didn"t know what strange things were happening with him, it was all so real… yet so surreal…
The bodyguards and the camera men a.s.signed to the boys looked confused to what was happening. Their cameras were all shut down as soon as they entered the territory of the Kens as instructed by their Chairman.
"What"s going on? Am I the only one who think there"s something odd and confusing with this scene right now?" one of them whispered.
"Well, maybe they are good family friends? Too bad you did not capture a video of this very interesting and suspicious scene," said one of the bodyguard jokingly.
"We signed a contract of confidentiality so let"s just not care about weird things happening and do our job properly," commented another cameraman who was a.s.signed to Ryu.
Then a man in his 50s, who introduced himself as Butler Omni, quickly approached and guided them to stay at a particular area of the mansion where they could rest while they waited for the housemates when they decide to go out from the Ken"s Mansion.
…..
Shawn froze the moment his mom hugged him. He could hear her crying while murmuring, "Oh my son… My son… My dear son..."
Shawn creased his forehead as he felt the tears welling up in his eyes. He tried to suppress his emotions, but couldn"t control himself and the tears in his eyes, as hot streams of tears rolled down continuously on its own from his eyes.
It was the first time that he felt the warmth of a mother… her hug even tightened at him, caressing his back, making sure she could feel his body and that she was not dreaming at all.
Then he felt a pair of big arms hugging both him and his mother together.
"Welcome home my son," said his father who was also crying hard.
Ryu and Dean were not also the ones wiping their tears.
Arya, Rita and Denise who had witnessed the scene from a distance were also crying. They were all overwhelmed by the emotions that the first meeting of the mother son pair displayed.
These were tears of great joy that were overflowing in the hearts of each and everyone at that point.
Butler Omni smiled as he walked towards Ryu and Dean.
Then he murmured, "Too bad that Old Master Ken is not here yet but I must tell you now that his journey is successful. He is now on his way back and he will probably arrive before evening."
"Is the doctor with him now?" Ryu asked after he composed himself a little from the emotional waves of the scene in front.
"No, Old Master said that the doctor refused our protection and just handed him all the evidences. They will need to check it in the lab and make sure it will still be useful. The doctor did not come but he made a request at Old Master to bring his apprentice instead." Butler Omni replied.
Ryu sighed. Their only problem now was to make sure Shawn"s name wouldn"t be dragged on because of his connections with Old Man Skull and the underworld. It was quite hard because Old Man Skull made sure that Shawn"s name will be dragged in every wrong deeds done by him, he had made sure to make Shawn his p.a.w.n.
