Due to the fact that they were in a public area, Zero could not use his gun. Thus, the wire was the next best method for a quick, clean kill.

He also noted the MIB that were stationed there, already keeping their own eye on those people. He was listening to his earpiece while Akira kept him and Lucka updated as to the situation.

In truth, Zero was itching to personally get rid of all these people who dared to even think of harming those important to Sir. However, he had to let it be for now, and rely on the MIB who were already here.

They were more than enough to handle those goons.

Unfortunately.

Zero sighed internally, continuing to play around with the wire while internally hoping one of them got desperate enough to make a stupid move.

He walked on, his eyes taking note of everything around him while he listened to Kay chattering on.

Kay was happily smiling and talking without a care in the world, telling them all about their house and what the kids could do while they were there. She made sure the kids were in front of her, while Zero was walking in front.

Unlike Zero, she was fine at not having to have her hands dirty for her responsibility right now was towards Kyle's kids. The strange thing was, even though she knew that these were his kids, she didn't think of them as being connected to her in any way.

It was such a mind-boggling thing, actually.

This was the main reason why she separated 'Kylie' and 'Kyle'. The reason why she did not want to know about Kylie, other than her kids. She always thought of them as 'her' kids, physically, and 'Kyle's' kids spiritually. That way, she could view his kids as kids who he was especially fond of, but not specifically his flesh-and-blood.

Because they weren't.

She felt she had to make that distinction for some reason.

She used to get a headache when she was younger whenever she thought of this, but now, it was different. She had accepted it and did not view them as her niece or nephew.

Luckily, the kids were not small anymore, for she would have felt even more awkward. One pre-teen and one teen. If they were around Dahlia's age, getting them around and ensuring their safety would have been a bit more difficult.

Lianne, who didn't quite like crowds, was keeping close to Kay.

Since Mama said that she wanted them to get away from here because it was unsafe, she was more vigilant. She didn't want to cause any trouble by wandering off.

Mama's new life sounded pretty awesome, actually. And her Elite Team were all full of handsome and pretty boys.

A small smile formed on her face as she thought of all the things she was going to learn and find out about what her Mama had been doing since her rebirth. Everything just appeared so surreal.

While Lianne was caught up in her thoughts, Kay rattling on and Zero remaining vigilant, Joseph's mind was still wrapping itself around everything that was going on.

The pain of losing his mother was still very strong, but at least, he got comfort from the new friends he had made.

The strange thing was, he felt closer to Kay than to Kak Sayuri, even though the latter understood their pain more. Sayuri was an orphan, and she would often talk about what she had done to get by.

She wasn't trying to say that their pain was less just because they had lost one parent while she lost both, but rather, she talked about herself and let them listen. It was soothing, and it did help …

But Kay's presence was the one that made him feel more at peace.

She would game with him, talk nonsensical things with him and let him cry when he needed to without being judgmental. He felt he could be himself around her, and that his feelings were normal.

To laugh, even though he had just lost his mum.

To cry, even though he was a guy.

Joseph looked sideways at Kay. If Kyle was the idol of Country Tz, then Kay must be their Angel. Thinking that such a person to be beside him right now, talking and laughing like they were friends, was like a dream.

He felt he was truly blessed.

Who knew that meeting that strange grungy guy at the convenience store so many years ago would lead to this?

Mama had been right.

Good things happened to good people, if you know how to look and appreciate it. Whilst it was true that he had lost his mother, he had gained good friends and support.

He walked on, following closely, oblivious to the fact that Zero in front had become more vigilant and Kay was a bit stiff.

Zero did not like the situation.

They had already checked in online, thus only needed to go towards the departure lounge. Unfortunately, he could not follow them in although he had already obtained the permission to do so.

Apparently, the officer that was monitoring the gate had just been replaced and did not know of the orders. He refused to let him through until he could get confirmation from his superiors.

Which would take time.

Time that they did not have, as the plane was already boarding.

Kay patted Zero on the shoulder, saying, "Do not worry, Zero. We'll be fine."

She said this more for the kids than for Zero, and he had no choice but to step aside.

He nodded, bowed a bit at them and said, "Noted, Ms. Kay."

He stood there silently, as he watched them go and disappear into the departure hall.

Zero was pissed as he turned around.

Somebody had to pay for daring to block him from entering the hall with them.
