New Life : A Second Chance

Kyle brought Xing Han up-to-date with the situation of the kid.

Xing Han also appeared amused over the fact that Kyle shared the same name as the kid.

"So what are you going to do about it now?" Xing Han asked.

"If I do anything, I'm the one breaking the law," Kyle said.

"So what are you going to do about it now?" Xing Han repeated, smiling at him.

Kyle smiled back, "Oh, you know me so well."

"Was there ever a doubt?" Xing Han asked.

? ? ? ?

"So you're really okay with this?" Kyle asked for the umpteenth time.

"For the millionth time, yes," Xing Han replied exasperatingly, "If you ask me one more time, I'm going to bite you."

Kyle grinned, "Kin-ky..."

Xing Han pounced on Kyle, who was laughing and nimbly dodged him. This time, Xing Han was expecting that so he turned to the right, intending to grab onto Kyle. Kyle grabbed onto Xing Han's hand instead and pulled him close, their noses touching as Kyle wriggled his eyebrows.

"Not quick enough," he said with a smile before letting Xing han go.

"GAH!" shouted Xing Han in frustration. He kicked towards Kyle, who was looking elsewhere, but still couldn't land a hit. Kyle simply twisted his body a bit and the foot went to the side. Kyle smacked the foot down and turned around, putting a finger on his lips.

"Remember the plan now," Kyle said.

Xing Han became serious then, and stood up straight, taking a deep breath and said softly, "Showtime."

Just then, the 'targets' came into view as they entered the space that connected the two carriages. The door opened and as they passed through, they saw that the boy was walking in front of the two adults, his head held low while Cornelius held tightly onto the boy's shoulder.

Xing Han and Kyle made as if they were on their way to the other side, so they stepped aside to let them through. The couple didn't even spare a glance at them, nor acknowledge their gesture with a thanks as they passed by.

Which was fine for Kyle. The less interested they were to their surroundings, the less likely they will remember how they looked like. Made things easier for them.

The moment they passed by and their backs were to Kyle, he turned around quickly. He reached over and pressed the acupuncture points in their necks. They promptly fell unconscious. Kyle caught Cornelius while Xing Han took hold of the woman. The boy in front stood there, frozen until Kyle said, "Don't worry. We are here to help you."

With those words, the boy suddenly broke down and cried, sobbing while putting his arm across his eyes.

"I need to know," Kyle said gently, "Are you with these people willingly?"

The boy shook his head vigorously, saying inbetween sobs, "I want my mummy!"

"Okay, but you must keep your voice down," Kyle said to him, "I'll take you back to your mummy but you must listen to everything I say. Can you do that?"

The boy nodded.

"Good," Kyle said as he held Cornelius up, "I need to put these people down first, then you follow me, okay? Just stay here for a second."

The boy looked suitably scared but nodded nonetheless. He watched as the two boys half carried, half dragged the other two into the next carriage. There wasn't anyone around but Kyle knew that it was only a matter of time.

They quickly put the two people down, and Kyle placed Cornelius's head on the side while the lady's head was placed at the side of Cornelius's shoulder. To anyone who was watching, it looked like they were merely asleep.

Kyle quickly searched through Cornelius's pockets and found their train tickets. He took all three, keeping Little Kyle's ticket while ripping apart the other two, throwing the confetti-like paper out the window.

For good measure, Kyle double-checked the lady's pockets as well and made sure that there was nothing on either of them that could connect them to Little Kyle. It was a good thing, too, for he found a picture in Cornelius's wallet.

On a hunch, Kyle also took their phones and pocketed it.

Kyle then turned to the little boy and went down on his knee, so that he was at eye level with him. Giving him a smile that exuded warmth, Kyle said gently, "Hi, my name is Kyle. What's your name?"

The boy's eyes went wide.

"I'm Kyle, too!"

Kyle made as if he was surprised, "Really? Wow! This means that we're fated to meet each other! Come, follow me and I'll find a way to bring you back to your mother."

The boy nodded, taking Kyle's proffered hand. He looked at it for a while, seeing how it engulfed his little one. Unlike how it was with his stepdad, this hand felt warm. He looked up, to see that face looking down at him gently.

Little Kyle smiled.
