Ramona was still in a daze.

She kept quiet as the vehicle she was in sped on, and the other occupants were also quiet. It suited her just fine. There were so many questions in her head, that it was giving her a headache. Questions about what was going on, questions about Sheng Xian and most of all, questions about these people.

Why were they so adamant at helping her?

She was just a simple person.

A simple person, who had a simple life and so, when the most popular guy in school started courting her, she felt like Cinderella. Everything was like a dream and really like a story. The school hunk with the school outcast?

It was too good to last, she supposed, but even until now ... despite the betrayal he had done, she couldn't help but still be in love with him.

It was stupid, she knew, and the only way she could cope in order to carry on was to cut herself off completely from that world. Kai needed her, so she had no time to wallow in self-pity or break down. Out of sight, out of mind was her thinking.

That was also part of the reason why she married Cornelius. It had only been a traditional sort of marriage rather than a legal one, so that had bypassed the need to authenticate her identity. She was still someone else's wife on paper, and if she was honest with herself, in her heart as well.

But why waste her life on someone that didn't want her? She didn't care about the legalities of her marriage to Cornelius. She may not be his legal wife and entitled to protection and rights as afforded by the law, but he did take care of them. What was more important was that he had adopted Kyle, giving him his name.

Now, she discovered that he had wanted to give her son up to Sheng Xian?

Her heart twisted. They may have not been deeply in love, but she had been faithful and treated him well. Perhaps this was her Fate, due to some bad karma that she must have accumulated in her past life. She was destined to end up with b*stards.

"We're here," Kay said gently, shaking her out of her thoughts that were getting darker.

Ramona quickly wiped her eyes and formed a smile before she turned to face the girl. She nodded and went out of the car and followed them quietly. When she finally snapped back to her senses, she realised that they were in a hotel room.

"Your son will meet us here once he arrives," Kay explained, "Agent Milk and Agent Oreo will be here to ensure your safety."

Ramona nodded, a little amused at their names.

"The train that they're on will arrive tomorrow morning, so you have plenty of time to rest. Just stay in the hotel room, do not call anyone or email anyone," Kay stated.

Ramona nodded her understanding. She had left the house with only the clothes on her back, so she didn't have anything at all. Not even her ID or phone.

"There's a set of clothing in the closet and all the toiletries are in the bathroom," Kay told her, "Those are for you to use. Just treat this like a holiday, and these two, as your friends-slash-employees."

Ramona nodded again and if Xing Han was around, he would be thinking that Little Kyle's habit of nodding must be from his mother.

When Ramona saw Kay heading out the door, she couldn't help but call out, "You're leaving?"

Kay smiled, and said as she walked out the door, "You'll be fine."

Kay could tell that Ramona was feeling nervous, and she found it a little bit funny as she was only 14. Agent Milk and Agent Oreo were more than enough to keep her company, and be safe.

"I'll send you back first," Agent Oreo said, following her.

Kay nodded, knowing that refusing would mean getting an earful from Kyle. That, and the fact that Agent Oreo was as stubborn as a mule and would never listen to her. After all, she was only another agent under MIB and not the boss 'K'.

Kyle would be returning tomorrow and she couldn't wait. She missed him a lot and wanted to be at the train station to greet him. She also knew that he would want to see her as soon as possible, especially after today's adventure.

Kay double-checked her weapons out of habit, and walked beside Agent Oreo as they headed to the car.
