Kal and Judes didn't move while she stripped the men but when she started cuffing them and throwing them into the van, they quickly started helping.

Aria got into the driver seat and honked at the two slower men still standing outside. Judes looked over at his boss to see what he'll do. They have no cell phones or access to their space buttons and they are in the middle of nowhere.

And this female in front of him is too frightening. He saw the whole thing when she pounded all the men into submission. Then she stripped them of their clothes. Now she's signalling them to get into the car, the whole time not saying anything.

Kal glanced around and made a quick decision and got into the passenger side. Jude followed and closed the door then Aria hightailed it out of there and hit the road.

S3: This is the only road to this location, I suggest you pull over somewhere until the other teams pass by or you will meet.

Aria quickly rode the van off the road to another warehouse on the side and parked the van behind a row of parked cars, the front facing out to the main road.

Jude: "Excuse me, why are we pulled over? Shouldn't we try to get away from here as quickly as possible?"

Aria: "Shh!"

Aria sat and waited. Her eyes trained to the left. Kal was quietly observing her as the van quieted down. Only the soft breathing of the people in the car can be heard. The rest of the men were still knocked out so there were no movements from the back.

Judes was slowly getting more and more tense, not understanding why this woman is stopping here.

Aria suddenly waved them down as her eyes caught sight of something in the distance. A similar looking van was rushing down the road headed to the warehouse. Aria turned to Kal and signalled him to her seat as she got out of the van. Kal moved over and watched what the woman would do next as he turned on the engine. Jude climbed to the passenger side as he too waited to see what she would do.

Aria hurriedly hid behind the cars out of sight as she ran to the front of the road. She took off her jacket and wrapped it around her waist and messed up her hair then started running weakly and waving at the van in the middle of the road.

The van stopped and she ran up and said something to the man on the passenger side as she cried and pointed down the road. The man nodded and the van door rolled open. Aria was pulled inside and she immediately started attacking the nen inside the van. It shook back and forth with the violence, screams of pain once again emitting from inside. The passenger and driver were hit from behind before they got a chance to react.

Aria climbed to the driver's side and threw him to the back as she drove the van next to Kal's. Aria moved away from view as the van rocked back and forth again. Kal had a feeling she was stripping and cuffing the men.

She got out of the car and walked to Kal's side signalling him to roll down the windows. Kal did as she requested and was handed a bag full of weapons. She then passed over the keys to the van before turning around and walking away.

Kal handed the bags over to Jude as he got out the car to go after the female.

Kal: "Excuse me, Miss. Where are you going? Are you not coming with us?"

Aria shook her head.

Kal: "My name is Kal Zhang. What's your name?"

Aria waved her hand dismissively as she started walking backwards away from him. She doesn't want anything from this handsome man. As she said earlier, beautiful people are full of troubles. Look what just happened. It's best to just let him take care of the matter with the kidnappers. She had better things to do. This hour delay annoyed her to no ends.

If the kidnappers can hear her inner thoughts regarding the kidnapping as a waste of her time, they would surely all cry.

Kal resolutely pulled out the ring on his finger and caught up to her again as she walked further away from him.

Kal: "Thank you for saving me. If you need anything, just come and find me at Kinetic Corporation."

Kal knew she wouldn't let him touch her so he threw the ring over her direction. She caught it in surprise and stopped to look at it quietly before looking up to meet his eyes. It hit him at that moment how beautiful her eyes were. They were dark and shiny like the night's sky full of stars and secrets.

She looked up at him and down to the ring in her hand in deep thought before another ring appeared in her hand. It was a man's band with two stones on it. One gold and one clear.

She threw that ring back at him before giving him a casual wave before running across the road towards the field, disappearing from view.

After she left, Kal looked down at the ring in his hand. It was a thick band made of white gold with two stones on it. One was gold and the other was a clear diamond, both in an unusual square cut. These types of cuts are not ideal since light doesn't reflect well but for some reason the stones have a bright shimmer to them.

He smiled slightly at the ironic situation of him giving away his family ring to that female and her giving him one in return. He finds her very interesting.

Putting the ring on the same finger that his family ring used to be, he suddenly stopped in surprise.

He can feel his space button again? No, that's not right. This space button feels completely different and he can sense the size is extremely large. Much larger than the 6x6.

Walking back to the direction of the van, he can see Jude making a call using one of the cell phones he found inside the weapons bag. Jude is an efficient young man so Kal knew he was calling their own security personnel to come to this location to round up the kidnappers for interrogation.

Leaning against the second car as Jude continued to talk on the phone, Kal casually touched the hood of the car next to him and it disappeared. Kal pulled it back out immediately as he brought up his hand to look at the ring.

What in the h* is going on? 6x6 cubic feet should be the maximum space for space button technology, why does this ring have such a huge space? Big enough to fit a car inside! And why did that female decide to give him it? It should be worth more than the cost of his company!

His eyes swiveled back to the field where she disappeared into and a part of him really wanted to run after her to ask for answers.

Why is she so strong?

Why did she save him?

Why did she give him the ring?

Where did she get it?

Who is she?

He needed to see her again.

After taking care of the kidnapping situation, he found out it was a shareholder who wanted to take over his company through this stupid means. The group of kidnappers were tortured for information and consequently imprisoned once the Zhang name was mentioned.

After that, he started looking for her.

He thought it would be easy to track down a person but the airport security was compromised during the attack and the whole day's footage was wiped out. She never talked and showed her face so there was only her height, hair, and skin color to go on.

He waited for her to show up at his company to cash out the IOU. She never showed up.

He played with the ring she gave him all the time. Touching and twisting it. He tested the storage size and found it to be 1 acre worth of space. 1 acre! A whole football field of space!

Of course people around him noticed the unusual ring. It was completely different from the family ring he always wore. When his friends asked where his family ring was and why he switched to the new one, his response shocked them.

Kal: "I gave it away."

He gave it away? Someone?! Who???!!!

Kal: "A girl."

What is happening? Kal Zhang. Mr. "I-dislike-every-single-female", Mr. "all-females-are-evil-and-untrustworthy" actually met a female he liked enough to give away his family heirloom?

Who was this woman?!

Kal won't find any evidence of her existence until almost a year later when someone mentioned how similar the super popular stones were to the ones on Kal's ring.
