Dear diary

"Where are you taking me?" Treasure screamed at Shawn with tears rolling down her cheeks immensely.

She was in the shotgun seat of a police car that Shawn earlier took from one of the cops and both her hands were handcuffed. Shawn managed to handcuff Treasure's hands and took one of the police cars without any police interference since he was threatening to kill Treasure if they tried to make any funny move.

Because of that, none of the cops including Noah dared to make a move on Shawn because of what might happen to Treasure if they do so.

"Tell me where you're taking me!!?" Treasure screamed again but Shawn didn't respond and it troubled her more.

She looked at the road with no idea of where Shawn was taking her. It was a wide straight road with trees on each side. The road wasn't familiar to Treasure at all and it bothered her to the extent that she could feel her heart beating rapidly with fear.

Shawn's one eye was fixed on the lonely road as he was driving at full speed. They have been driving for more than an hour now and his right lap couldn't stop bleeding because of the gunshot wound he sustained.

…

Meanwhile, Noah and Dexter were also driving at full speed but far behind Shawn's car. As a matter of fact, they couldn't see Shawn's car or any car in front of them. Some of the cops were also behind Noah's car, following him up like he knew where he was heading to.

Right now, Dexter was in the shotgun seat of Noah's car staring at the screen of his laptop. His laptop was showing a GPS navigation system and the small red circle on the screen was meant to indicate where Shawn and Treasure are.

"You'll see a crossroad ahead, make sure to turn right," Dexter said to Noah.

"Why should I turn right?" Noah said, feeling frustrated because their plan in capturing Shawn was ruined and he was worried Treasure might be in danger right now.

"Detective Noah, you have to trust me on this," Dexter said.

"Trust you?? I listened to you and made sure all the cops drop their weapons when we had the chance to kill that fucking psychopath and now he's gone with your girlfriend" Noah said in anger.

"What choice did I have? Treasure's life was at stake and if we had tried to play smart, he would've probably killed her" Dexter said angrily with a straight face.

Noah sighed.

He saw a crossroad and then he drove to the right path, same with the other cops who were behind Noah's car.

"What makes you think that this is the road Mr. Colbert must've gone with Treasure," Noah said.

"cause I put a tracking device on Treasure while we were at the ice cream parlor just in case something like this would happen. I didn't wanna take any chances" Dexter said.

Dexter had put a mini tracking device in the bracelet he gave to Treasure. The bracelet looked like a normal bracelet but it had a tracking device in it. Thanks to Dexter because if not for his idea, it would have been very difficult for Noah and the cops to find where Shawn was taking Treasure to.

"Whoa! That's pretty smart of you" Noah said.

Even though he was still feeling paranoid, he now had a little hope that they were going to find Treasure soon enough. However, Dexter couldn't stop feeling obnoxious. All he could think about was Treasure with worry in his heart that she would be okay. He hoped that the cops and him would find Shawn on time before he does anything to hurt Treasure.

***Back at Kim's house***

Kim didn't want to involve himself with his sister's privacy but out of curiosity, he opened Treasure's diary.

"She's not gonna find out that I read her diary," Kim said to himself.

He flipped through the pages of her diary because he didn't have the time to start reading from the beginning but after the first ten pages, he stopped and started reading through it.

'Dear diary, I am so excited that my brother is finally leaving all his bad habits behind. He swore to me that that he is never going to steal or rob banks anymore…'

Kim read it in his head with his sister's voice and he rolled his eyes because he knows that it wasn't true at all. He's still into his criminal activities because it has turned into an addiction. No matter how much he tries to stop, he still finds himself stealing money and dealing drugs and his poor naive little sister knows nothing about it.

Anyways, Kim continued reading.

'even though he has left that stupid black blade group, I was still scared that he was going to continue his usual lifestyle of being a pickpocket. Well, the only reason my brother swore to me that he was going to change was if I agree to become a part-time nightclub singer'

"She's so dumb? No one stops being a criminal overnight" Kim scoffed and continued reading.

'…But which sane person would tell his own blood sister to work in a corrupt nightclub just to raise money? Maybe it's because my brother doesn't really care about me…'

"That's not true Tee. I care about you!" Kim said out loud to himself like he was arguing in front of her while looking at the diary.

"is that what she thinks of me? That I don't care about her? I sacrificed my life and sold myself to the black blade so she could go to college and she thinks I don't care about her?" he questioned himself with anger.

"What more does she want!?"

Kim immediately got pissed and he opened to the middle page of the diary to find something more relevant.

'Dear Diary, I think I have found myself a new best friend. He is someone who I could easily talk to and confide in whenever I feel troubled. Most of all, he's such a sweetheart and a good listener, unlike my brother who doesn't care about my existence…'

Kim frowned hard feeling very bitter but he was still eager to know more about what his sister thought of him. He was also curious to know about this Treasure's new best friend and unfortunately, he has already assumed in his head that his sister hasn't come home yet because of him.

'My brother hates the fact that he is a detective and that he works with the police but I don't mind'

"So her best friend is that good-looking cop?" Kim scoffed.

"Treasure, you're so screwed," he said.

He was angry that Treasure was going behind his back to see her police friend after he has told her not to. He also felt annoyed and betrayed that his sister was choosing Dexter over him as a better person to talk to whenever she was troubled. Well, it's not her fault.

Kim flipped through the pages of the diary and he stopped at the page where she wrote today's date. He had it at the back of his mind that Treasure must've written on this page this morning before she left for school.

And from how Treasure was free in expressing herself in her diary, Kim was confident that she would write about where she was last night.

'Dear diary, last night I finally summoned the courage to tell Dexter about my ugly past. For a second, I thought he would look at me differently once he found out that I was raped but he didn't…'

"Raped?" Kim whispered to himself with a confused look. He brought the diary very close to his face like he was suffering from terrible eyesight so he wanted to see clearly.

He read the same page from the beginning like the word 'rape' would change because he didn't want to accept what he just read. Maybe he misread it.

'…I told him everything about the man who raped me when I was only 15 years old and how he keeps stalking me and sending me different disgusting texts. I am also relieved about the fact that I have finally exposed Shawn Colbert who raped me and ruined my whole...'

Treasure's diary fell from Kim's hands out of shock.

Kim looked like he was frozen due to intense shock and since the diary fell from his hands, he couldn't finish what he was reading.

"Wh.. What... What just happened?... Sh… Shawn??…" Kim said under his breath. He was finding it very difficult to speak up as his heart began to beat very fast.

He sat down on the floor and let his both hands run through his brown hair. His eyes were roving around the place looking very confused and speechless.

Kim used his both palms to cover his mouth which was wide open due to shock as tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn't stop breathing hard. He has lived with Treasure all his life and he never knew what his sister has been going through for the past six years.

He was dumbstruck and he felt very disappointed in himself for being such a nonchalant brother.
