27 Identity

----Clark's POV----

"Identity? What do you mean?" Stephanie got annoyingly confused as I tell her the story about what happened earlier. This is not even the most confusing part but another one left me quite shocked.

"It said that Our father died due to some personal reason, and it said that he has a secret which he kept himself but the ones who triggered his illness want to get that specific information. They were willing to do anything just to get that information, and that people were part of the underworld organization." The last word of my sentence makes me speechless when I first time found out. Stephanie was left shocking as she heard my statement. I was sitting on Stephanie's bed looking a bit gloomy, staring nowhere as the room fell silent for a while.

"And what is that secret?" Stephanie raises her eyebrow.

"It doesn't say, but I'm sure that secret is extremely important." My statement left the room speechless. All of us making a fierce reaction, not showing any signs of weakness. Whatever secret our father is holding, we must find it out in order to get justice for his death but things are not still clear. We must find out what secret it is at any cost.

"Wait...! You just said the reason but not his identity? Am I right?" Stephanie glares at me. I sigh in no choice. This woman is sharp as ever, I was planning on keeping this a secret for a while until I clear things out. I want to look into it further before telling it to her, before giving her false hope. It's indeed the file I just read contains other information about our father personally. I'm afraid that this will make Stephanie surprised.

"Clark, What are you hiding?" Stephanie walks forward at me with an intense glare. She knew something was off. We swear to each other not to hide any information about this matter to each other.

"Our father has a.... brother in the underworld organization that has a strong background and power." I hesitate on the first part of my sentence but eventually give in in no choice.

"What...!" Stephanie backs away a little bit in confusingly. I admit I was as well shocked about this. Dad never told us he has a brother, come to think of it he never even told about us something about his private life. No one even told us anything about it. It is unbelievable that we have a relative on the underworld.

"Wha? How...? I.. We never knew we had an uncle...?" Stephanie says in confusement yet calm. She's still maintaining her composure but I know there's a lot of things going on in her mind. Questions that yet still answered.

"Why do I feel like it has something to do with our family...?" Stephanie says as she frowning passionately. Despite the matter she's still able to observe things as they go. Like to her that's my was the first thing that crossed my mind.

"There's something unusual going around here..." I say as Stephanie and I give each other an intense look. Just by looking at her I that we both became aware of what's the possible thing going to happen.

----William's POV----

I'm still standing in the corner left amusing on how Clark and Stephanie be able to maintain this type of conversation regardless of the topic, Clark calm voice as he narrates what happened. I still can't believe I was just an outsider in them. Not knowing anything! I feel annoyed knowing that I still not know them much as I think as I grip my fist in disbelief. There's still so much for me to learn about them but I know nothing! Just what kind of an idiot am I!? First was Stephanie's fear that I didn't have the clue what was going on and now this! What the hell... During Stephanie's business trip I even thought of her swimming on the beach! Just...! What kind... of an asshole am I!?

No...! I shouldn't be like this at such a moment!

"But that didn't answer the question on how you found out that there's a bomb installed." They both look at me now that I finally spoke to them.

"There's a carnation attach to the file," Clark says with a bit frustration. No way! Again!? Stephanie and I left a quite shock but turn into madness in time. That bastard! He can't really stay still in one place huh! You said you like Stephanie? But you even hurt her brother!? What kind of bastard are you?

"Damn it! So this is the present he's been talking about huh?" Stephanie punches the wall in madness as she speaks mockingly. She bite tightly her lower tongue as her eyes turn sharp.

"It's no use, it already been happened," Clark says in a calm voice to Stephanie. As she puts down her hand on the wall, it left a bit bruise on her fist. Shit...
