Do you love me?

A couple of minutes earlier...

San, the young man who wears all black clothes still staring the path where Malina and Alexander take previously and he didn't pursue them either no matter how much we want to.

However he really reluctant to continue his mission to board the plane. And his instinct keeps telling him, that they pursue the wrong lead. While struggling with conflict in his mind has ignited one of his past memory of the man he looks up to in his entire life.

''Never doubt even once your guts or you will be a goner. "

He can remember clearly this is his Master last word before he disappears without a trace years ago.

His body might be tied with the order from higher up and even though he can't follow them, he still has the means to get close them. San clenches his fist when he decides his next course of action. He didn't feel reluctant at all to use his secret cards even though he might pay the higher price for executed it when he doesn't reach yet the completed stage of these inherited skills.

And he knows very well if result when south, the price he will force to pay become double and not to mention his own life will be in jeopardy too. But he needs to remains patient and stay with this organization if he still wants to use their resources to locate his missing Master.

Yes, the time is not ripe yet and he must continue to be a lower dog. He mouth curl a bit before returning into expressionless face and followed his leader's steps who glaring, waiting impatiently for him in the front.

Once his leader satisfied that San obeys his order, the leader continues to walk in front. And taking this opportunity. San removes a small round badge from his bag.

Using a sharp pin that attached at the badge, he presses and makes a straight vertical line cut across his left palm to make a trace of blood within the line appear. He rubbed together both of his inner palms to spread the blood evenly while chanting silently.

San only stops walking less than four minutes to complete execute his hidden cards but he doesn't realize that his action has been fully capturing the interest of a small girl who waiting outside the small convenience store while her mom made the payment at the counter.

This is because he is very confident no one can see exactly the "real performance" he just did. To others, they will only see a single guy who feeling cold and rubbing his hand together and put it near his mouth and blowing it a bit to create some heat.

However this time, he was so dead wrong about it. He never knew that his fate and this little girl already start to intertwined at this very second.

San already disappears from the sight but the little girl still looks at the place where San stop walking for a while. Her eyes were wide open looking at that spot

"Calis?"

The little girl turns her head towards the soft voice who called her name. She smiled brightly at her mother who approaches her. Calis cannot contain her excitement any longer, she pointed her hands at the special spot frantically.

"Mom, look, look! Those black butterflies are so beautiful!"

Catherine frowning because apart from people who using the path, she cannot see any insect flying on the same spot that has been directed by her daughter.

"Black butterflies? As more than one? Inside this airport?"

"Yes, mom! Can you see there are three of them?"

"Three?"

Catherine unconsciously takes backward steps a bit. Her face becoming pale while staring her "odd child". She tries to calm her nerves and forced her self to come closer to her daughter. She closed her eyes to find the strength not to have a nervous breakdown.

Calis is her biological daughter and born inside their house, the probability to accidentally switch with other babies is definitely zero. Furthermore, Calis is an anticipated child after waiting for more than five years. She as a mother must be strong if she wants to keep her family together.

Cathrine kneels down until her eyes are the same level as Calis's eyes.

"Darling, do you love me?"
