Chapter 1

Oh, I feel like I am in the air and floating so light. Oh, wait a minute, how come I hear noises like the engines increasing louder and louder? I try to open my eyes but feel so heavy to raise my eyes open. Alright, finally I open my eyes slowly but open now. Oh, that’s so... I am sleeping in the private jet in the air flying very fast to attend my lovely big brother’s wedding that I do not want to miss for the Billion of Years. My name is “Gobben”, I now remember who I am, oh… My brain and memory are now coming back. Oh boy, who is she so very pretty coming to my way, ahh… It’s a female flight attendant, oh, here she comes, and need to pretend I just waking up.

Pretty female flight attendants come to stand right next to me and ask, “Sir, you need coffee with your morning wash towel?”

I am thinking but the sound of her voice is so pleasant, let me ask her, and I listen to her pleasant voice. I am pretending uhm… uhm… What did you say?

A pretty female flight attendant with a very nice voice said, “Sir, would you like to have a morning coffee and some warm towels?

I smiled and said, “Sure, I would love that very much, and thank you so much.” My iPhone is ringing. Oh, my brother big brother Koinn called me, and I picked up the call.

My brother Koinn on the phone said, “Hello, my little brother Gobben… When are you arriving at my wedding and by the way my little brother Gobben you know that I love you a lot. Right?”

I replied with a smile and told my big brother Koinn that I would be on time, don’t you worry, and the pilot assured me that I would arrive on time before your wedding started. My big brother laughed on the phone and told me that he knew because he talked to the pilot to make sure the pilot had brought me to the wedding way ahead of time. While my big brother Koinn and I talking on the phone, the cute pretty flight attendants came by and brought me a coffee with a warm towel to freshen up my face. The cute pretty flight attendant gives me her cute smile, I tell a soft voice that I appreciate her and I blink my right eye at her then the cute flight attendant returns to me with her pretty cute smile. My big brother on the phone said, “What are you doing? Are you blinking your eye at me?” I was so surprised and pausing for long many seconds.

I ask my big brother Koinn, “How… how… how you see that my big lovely brother Koinn?”

Brother Koinn replies, “I see you on my iPad, little brother Gobben and I see you up closely.”

Oh boy, I looked around my surrounding place in the private jet I sitting in to find any hidden camera. My big brother Koinn told me that I shouldn’t bother searching for the hidden camera because the hidden camera was right in front of me on the jet’s wall and it’s very small. The jet build in hidden camera it’s comes with the owner’s request when purchasing the private jet airplane.

I said, “Oh, wow…” I didn’t know that my big brother Koinn.

Big Brother Koinn said, “Of course, you don’t know because I just got an update recently when I reviewed the purchased report that came onto my desk, my little brother.”

The pilot announced that we were going to land in thirty minutes and get ready for landing. My big brother said goodbye and told me that I would be greeted by a head security detail and she would escort me to the wedding then my brother said goodbye drank half of my coffee and cleaned up my face then cute flight attendance came by to clean up my tray walk away with her turn face to me again cute smiles. I feel happy, excited, and nervous, and my heart starts beating up a little faster I can feel it. It’s a mixed feeling, nervous about going to see my head of security details, and I wonder who she looks like. Is she tuff, is she demanding, is she bossy, is she pretty, oh wait… Let’s think about that later at the end when we landed it. The jet started encountering a little turbulence, and the pilot announced on the telecom asking everyone to fasten seat belts and flight attendance stow away all things.

Big Brother Koinn at the church and his head security guard report to him that everything is set and ready. Koinn tells the head security guard that must double-check everything and have double security at the bride’s place. Head security replied, all set and ready Sir, and we do have an extra detail on the standing by just in case needed urgently. Koinn said, “That’s excellent.”

At the airport where my jet going to land, my head security detail and her team arrived at the location where my jet going to be parked after landing and waiting for me. My jet just landed on the runway and taxing to the private terminal. I looked out the window and saw the hangar with so many people standing and many black cars parking in straight lines. My pilot announced that we had landed and were about to stop at the hangar and said on the telecom, “Have a good day Sir Gobben, and thank you for flying with us.” The jet stops and the cute flight attendants open the jet’s door. Jet’s door opened and the second flight attendance oh wow. This second flight attendance is so cute just like the first flight attendance. The second flight attendant asked me if I had anything before departure, I smiled and told her I thanked you both for serving me on the flight. I pick up my backpack and start working out the jet’s door. The second flight attendants followed me with gave cute smiles, the pilots came out of the cockpit smiled said to me have a great day, and the first flight attendants looked at me and also gave me a very cute smile.

I said, “Thank you all to you captain and your crew for a wonderful flight.”

I walked out the jet’s door to the downstair way and there was my head security details waiting with her team. I walk down the stairs and the head of the security details is a she. She walks toward me and her face is cute I think but she does not smile at all. Her face is so cold, with no smile, no live sign, and only a straight face.

My head of security detail said, “My name is Joanna and I am your head of security details.” I will be escorting you to your brother’s wedding and please follow me to this car. Sir.”

I followed my head security detail “Joanna” to the car and got in. Joanna got in front closed the door and said on the walk-talky let’s move it. The cars moved rapidly toward the exit of the airport, straight on the freeway, passing so many cars, and Joanna kept constantly communicating her details to be on the lookout. We drive so fast and I look at my watch and notice that we are ahead of schedule to be onsite at the church of my big brother Koinn’s wedding. I asked my head of security detail that are we moving too fast.

Joanna said, “Sir, we are moving normally and we need to be ahead of schedule because that is what your brother instructed us.”

Oh, wow. I said, we drive too fast like this I may give you some “Soup”.

Joanna confused and said, “Executes me, Sir, what you say?”

I said, “If we are driving too fast like this, I will give you all big “Soup.” Do you understand?

Joanna said, “I don’t understand what you said soup.” Could you please explain?

I said, “Joanna, I just got off the jet while we landing we hit small turbulence and I don’t feel well. Now, I am in the car you driving too fast and I am or I believe I will vomit it.” You guys will get my vomit I call vomit’s soup.

Joanna is now understanding and her face is even getting weird. Her detail’s driver said, “I will slow down a little bit.” Joanna said, “Sir, we must be ahead of schedule to arrive at the church.”

I said, “OK, but you guys must not let me make some soup in the car. I leaned back and closed my eyes. I can feel the car slowing down a little bit, but still moving fast. I hear the phone rings and Joanna answering the phone. It’s my big brother on the phone asking Joanna that are we ahead of scheduled and Joanna reply we are ahead schedule and will be at the church in fifteen minutes. Now, my stomach is starting to feel a little funny but I think I can hold on. I said to Joanna that I needed a pack of soda when we arrived at the church.

Joanna said, “Sir, you need a pack of soda?”

I reply, “Yes.” I need a pack of soda to release my gas. I also needed Tylenol to help me ease the headache.

Joanna immediately called in to have my request ready when we arrived at the church. I closed my eyes for a few minutes then the car stopped, Joanna opened the door and told me that we arrived, and kept calling Sir… Sir… then I heard my name calling out. Sir Gobben, we have arrived Sir and I heard like few times. I started opening my eyes and looked at Joanna I said would you let me sleep here a little bit. Joanna grabs my arm and pulls me out of the car with all the security men on alert watching the surroundings. I leaned into Joanna’s shoulders walking into the door behind the church and I saw my big brother running out to me so fast but I was so dead tired I didn’t know why. I guess that must be the flight of turbulence and the car driving fast getting car sickness. My big brother Koinn came to me on my left side holding me and said, “What’s happened, my little brother?”

I replied, “Big brother, I am not feeling well. I think I got car sickness.”

Koinn said, “Are you kidding me?” Are you a big grown man and still have car sickness?

Big brother, I need a pack of soda to release my gas and Tylenol to release my headache. My big brother and Joanna took me into the guest room there I lay down on the big sofa. Joanna brings a pack of soda with Tylenol for me, I drink a pack of soda with Tylenol and at the same time, I burp. Now, I feel much better I told my big brother. My big brother Koinn smiles and grabs me holding me tight. I said, ok.. ok... I need to go change and get ready my big brother, you are holding me too tight, and I cannot breathe. I need oxygen….

My big brother Koinn said, “You… My little brother, you make me worry there.”

I said, “I am fine now, I go change and get ready.”

My big brother’s wedding was about to start and I was getting ready to be my brother’s best man then I saw the most beautiful girl walking in with an old man coming straight to me with their smile. I look at them and in my mind wonder telling or asking me who is the gorgeous girl but who is that old man. I take a mini deep breath and they come in front of me looking at me with their smiles. I smile back and I ask uhm… uhm… May I help you and who are you?

The old man said, “I am a close best friend of your family and my name is Tom.”

The gorgeous girl said, “Mr. Tom is my father and my name is Lina” How are you? Gobben.

Now, I am surprised. How do they know my name and where is my big brother Koinn? I smile and reply I… I… doing fine, thank you very much, Lina. I guess you both must know my brother Koinn, right?

Mr. Tom said, “Oh, of course we know your brother, and matter of fact we do know your both aunties too.”

Ha… Mr. Tom, you know both of my aunties and, may I ask how long you have known my aunties how come I did not heard anything about you, Mr. Tom? Please forgive me.

Lina is looking at me with both beautiful eyes and smiling at me. Mr. Tom smiles and tells me that your aunties may be too busy doing their work or just not come up so they did not mention me to you.

I said, “Oh, could be that.”

Big brother Koinn walking to the room and smiling said, “Good, you all get to know each other.”

I said to my big brother Koinn, “Well, how come you or both aunties did not introduce Mr. Tom to me and of course especially Lina.”

Big brother Koinn said, “Alright, it’s better late than never.” We need to get going, my wedding is about to start and I need my best man with the bride’s mate to come with me now.

Now, my eyes are wide open because I just heard my big brother say bride’s mate in this room and only gorgeous Lina standing here in this room. We all go with my big brother Koinn to get the wedding started I walk with my brother and Lina goes to the bride’s room to be with the bride. The wedding ceremony starts and all the security in action fully secure the wedding scene of my big brother’s wedding. When the wedding ceremony was completed I never forgot that moment standing next to my big brother and the bride’s mates standing with the bridge at all times Lina’s eyes kept focused on me. I need to have a serious talk with my big brother about Lina and why my big brother did not tell me or at least brief me about Mr.Tom’s family.

Now it’s time for the wedding banquet. The receptionist to spectacular and all the fireworks at night. Guess what, the wedding banquet is held in our big mansion, and all the great food. I love seafood, my big brother Koinn and his wife, and my sister-in-law Miaya walked straight to me and called my name. I stood watching an awesome sight of my big brother Koinn and my sister-in-law Miaya beautiful couple walking toward me with a lot of photographers following taking pictures right. When my brother Koinn and his wife Miaya come close to me then sister-in-law Miaya runs to me holding me tight into her arms and kissing my left-right cheeks.

My big brother Koinn said, “Wait… give some to me too my dear.”

My sister-in-law Miaya said, “Nope, he is all mine. You got your brother Gobben for a very long time and now you must share Gobben with me.”

My big brother smiled and said, “Alright, I will but I want to kiss him too since my dear kissed my little brother Gobben.”

Oh boy, I am so embarrassed by my brother and my sister-in-law fighting over me. Guess what... Lina is standing right behind the sister-in-law with her bright open wide eyes and cutie smiles. My brother came and my sister-in-law gave me to my big brother Koinn. My big brother Koinn held me tight in his both arms, kissing me, and whispering into my ear I love so much my little brother. I smile and whisper back to my brother’s ear I love you so much.

Lina from afar and she lips to me I heard that. I am stunned that Lina can read lips, oh boy, my face now starting to turn red so embarrassed, and I look at Lina’s lips to Lina that we need to talk. My brother and my sister-in-law want to take a picture of me. I told my big brother that you want to take a picture of your best man and you need to have the bride’s mate in the picture with your best man too. My big brother looked at me and Lina with his smile. Alright, my best man and my bride’s mate come here we all take pictures together. This will be a very special moment. So, four of us take pictures and many photographers surround us taking pictures flashing lights everywhere. After we took pictures, my big brother and my sister-in-law went to see all the guests and left me standing there with Lina. I am so nervous and I try to start a conversation with Lina but somehow Lina prepares all ahead. Lina started talking a lot with me slowly and calmly and Lina made me feel so at ease like one of the family members. Lina and I talk a lot about so many topics. The more Lina and I talk the more we feel comfortable with each other but I would say mostly is me. I feel so much more comfortable talking with Lina and I keep watching Lina’s beautiful smiles and with her soft voice speaking. I smiled having a wonderful conversation with Lina and looking around then I saw my head of security details scanning the area I looked at her cold face but she only stopped for a few seconds looking at me then continued scanning the surroundingsI guess Joanna just doing her duty and that’s how she looks I guess. Mr. Tom came by to say hello to me and told us to go in and enjoy the music with dancing. I look at Lina and Lina looks at me. Lina looks at me and then asks me to come with her we go have a dance.

Oh boy, I don’t know how to dance and how can I tell Lina that I don’t know how to dance? Lina grabs my hand and walks with her inside. While we walking in I talked softly to Lina and I told Lina that I didn’t know how to dance. Lina looks at me with her very cute smile and says don’t you worry. Just follow my lead and you will do supper. I don’t why but now I feel so very comfortable with Lina and Lina makes me feel at home. After we both get inside I grab a glass of champagne asking Lina wants a drink of champagne. Lina shakes her head and I drink one hop all champagne in the glass gone. Lina smiled at me and took me on the dance floor slowly Lina grabbed me both hands and put my hands on her shoulders. Lina puts her both hands on my shoulders and then tells me to just move as she moves and try to do exactly like her. I followed her leads and oh boy… I feel so glad that Lina takes the lead and I just follow her leads on the dancing floor. I noticed that everyone pretending not to look at Lina and me but I knew it because my big brother smiling and looking at me. My sister-in-law Miaya looking at me smiling and blinking her left eye. In my mind, I wondered did I missed something here that it seems everyone acting like this gets very first noticed each with Lina expecting it.

Gorgeous Lina looks at me all the time and she amazes me with her beautiful eyes with her voice. Oh boy, I am thinking I must have a deep long conversation with Lina and find out what is happening to me here at my big brother’s wedding everyone seems like knew something about me Lina except me. The music was about to stop, and Lina led me dancing to the table where there were empty seats with Lina’s dad and a beautiful lady sitting right next to Mr. Tom. When Lina and I danced up to the table, Mr. Tom stood up to say “Hello!” we met again and I would like to introduce to you Gobben that this most beautiful lady sitting next to me is my wife Ninna. Oh wow, I said to myself in my mind that this lady here is Lina’s mother. No wonder Lina is so gorgeous.

Lina said, “Mother, how are you, and what do you think of?”

I turn around and look at Lina and my mind questions, “What?” Lina, what are you asking your mother what do you think of what?

Mr. Tom smiled and said, “Alright everyone, let’s sit down and enjoy food, and let’s get to know each other more.”

Lina showed me the sit right next to her, Lina’s mother sat next to her, and then Mr. Tom sat next to Mrs. Ninna. I turn around and check my big brother and my sister-in-law to see where they are but I see my head of security details very close by glance at me then she radar surrounding. The drinks champagne are put in front of each person and the party service people bring out large plates of seafood put on the table. Wow, all they see foods of big pieces of lobsters, plates of crabs, plates of oysters, and a few other seafood. My big brother and my sister-in-law certainly show up at our table and ask us “Are we having a good time?”

Lina replied, “Of course, we have a lovely time. Right, Gobben?”

I said, “Oh definitely we have a lovely time my big brother, and by the way I need to see you later have a few puzzles I need you to help me clear up.”

Big brother Koinn said, “Of course, if later I am available then I am yours.”

My sister-in-law Miaya smiles and looks at Lina. Mr. Tom and Mrs. Ninna look at each other with smiling faces and they both blink their eye. I saw that and my mind started again wondering if I must missed something here that put me in the dark.

The wedding party goes on and every guest has a wonderful time. The entire security details are so busy doing their duty making sure my big brother’s wedding go well. The wedding of my big brother was so fantastic and later after the wedding I said goodbye to all the guests. Lina came to see me to say goodbye, of course, Lina’s parents standing right next to her, and my big brother with my sister-in-law standing right next to me.

Lina said, “I had a great lovely time today at your wedding big brother Koinn and sister Miaya.”

After I heard Lina say that, I looked at my big brother Koinn and my sister-in-law Miaya with my eyes open widely. Both Koinn and Miaya returned a right blink of their eye then my big brother Koinn said, “We glad you had a great lovely time at our wedding, Lina.” Mr. Tom and Mrs. Ninna also said thank you and told my big brother Koinn they had a great wonderful time also excited to meet Gobben. Well, I looked at Lina, Mr. Tom, and Mrs. Ninna and said to them that I had a very pleasure meeting them all. Then Lina looked at me with her eyes wide open and asked me to give her permission to hug me. Now, I think this is so huge. A gorgeous girl Lina wants to hug me on the first day got to know each other. My big brother Koinn signaling me to tell me to go ahead… My sister-in-law also signals me with her blinking right eye to say go ahead… I smile thinking oh well this may be just a formal first-time hug and I said to Lina of course you can hug me.

Lina immediately hugged me tight with her both hands and whispered into my ear, “I have a wonderful lovely time today and meeting you.” Good night, Gobben.

I am stunning, I had a hard time with my voice saying goodbye to Lina but eventually, I did say goodbye to Lina and her parents. We all say goodbye then my big brother Koinn and my sister-in-law Miaya ask me, “What do you think of Lina?”

I replied, “Well, Lina is a gorgeous girl, beautiful in every way, and… She seems to know me.” Big brother Koinn, do you know that she knows me and her parents also seem to know me too matter of fact.”

My sister-in-law Miaya immediately grabbed my big brother Koinn’s hand and said, “We have to go say goodbye to all the other guests.”

Away my big brother Koinn and my sister-in-law Miaya go to see other guests, I look at them and signal to them that I will see them later. My big brother and sister-in-law glance at me with their smiles. The day has gone by, so busy with my big brother’s wedding, and night banquet. I did not see my big brother until the next day in his main office. The next morning I woke up, I got a message from the maid saying that my brother would see me in his main office after I had breakfast. So, I dress up and walk out of the room and there are my head security details standing in front of my room waiting for me. Joanna is the cute head of my security details but she needs to put a few more smiles during the day. Every time I see Joanna, she looks cold by showing on her face. I guess it comes with the job being head of security details. I need to think of something in the future to make Joanna laugh, I want to see Joanna laugh, and how Joanna looks like when she laughs. Ok, let make that is my secret mission. After I was done with my breakfast, I went to see my big brother Koinn, and he was waiting for me in his main office.

I arrived at my big brother’s main office and knocked on the door to request permission to come in then my big brother opened the main office’s door telling me to come in. I came into the main office, and my brother closed the door and showed me the map on the wall’s big screen. I see the big screen with the map laying out dot...dot… of a trail across the ocean to an island out of nowhere. I asked my big brother what it that on the screen you showing me It looked like a map with a direction. My big brother Koinn replies that is corrected then silence. I look at my big brother and my big brother staring at the big screen. The other side door linked to another special room opens and there is my sister-in-law coming out with a white tray with coffee on it.

My sister-in-law Miaya said, “Good morning Gobben, how are you this morning, and did you sleep well last night?”

I answered, “Oh yes, thank you very much.”

My sister-in-law said, “From now on, you can call me sister Miaya would be fine with me.” No need to be formal.

My big brother Koinn said the same thing, “Brother Gobben. My little brother, you can call me brother Koinn would be fine too.” No need to be formal.

I looked at both my big brother and my sister-in-law wondering what had changed this morning from yesterday. Uhm… I take a deep breath and then ask my big brother Koinn. Brother Koinn, would please tell me what has been going on since yesterday everything looks the same but acting differently.

Big Brother Koinn said, “My little brother, all things have changed since yesterday at least for me but I need your help to work with me on my assignment from our family assigned to me on my wedding day.

I look at my sister-in-law Miaya and she looks at me with her smile telling me to listen to your big brother. I will leave you two alone for an important conversation. My sister-in-law walked out to the corner office’s door and closed it. I look at my big brother Koinn and my big brother Koinn tells me to sit down. After I sat down, my big brother Koinn told me our family secrets and that the assignment at hand needed my assistance to work together with both brothers for the outcome to be successful. After thirty minutes of my big brother explaining what happened to him yesterday after the wedding now my big brother taking on new family responsibilities to be full head of the household. For me still the same but just a minor difference in that I must assist my big brother in his new role as head of household family responsibilities. Thirty minutes after I listened to my big brother I asked my big brother “Stop.” Brother Koinn, my head is about to explode. I cannot absorb too much information right now, you know I love you very much even though very happy to willingly give my life for you. Right? My big brother Koinn. You just tell me what you need me to do then I do it and in return, I will ask you questions that I need answered. Ok, my big brother Koinn.

Brother Koinn replied, “Of course, my little brother Gobben.” Look at the screen, I need you to go on that island and get the secret out from there. It had been put there for a very long time and I don’t know what it is but our family secret message instructed me as a big brother in the family must retrieve that secret message buried on that island for a very long time.

I ask, so you don’t know what it buried on that island for a long time but now it’s time for us to retrieve it?

Brother Koinn said, “Yes, that’s corrected.” No one knew it even existed until now our family secret turned up after your big brother married. It’s our family policy, even you will be your turn soon for those secrets in the family will debrief you and assign to you the family’s tasks.

Oh, woo… woo… Wait here a second my big brother Koinn. As you know, we living peacefully for many years, you and me, we both got training in our special school to prepare us for these family secrets.

Brother Koinn replied, “Yes, that’s corrected, my little brother.”

Alright, let’s move on and talk about last night. Brother Koinn asks, “What’s about last night?” Ok, my lovely big brother Koinn, last night or entirely yesterday on our wedding day, I met a gorgeous girl named Lina, and Lina seemed to know me for a very long time but I was disadvantaged that I did not know Lina until yesterday. Also, to me, I saw that you are my lovely big brother you know Lina and her family. Is that corrected?

Brother Koinn reply, “Uhm… Yes, that’s true but it was a long story, and my lovely little brother that you did know about Lina too when you were very young. Matter of fact, you did save Lina’s life when she was little.”

I said, “What…?” Brother Koinn, you must tell me the entire story about Lina and me when we were young.

Brother Koinn said, “I don’t have time, we don’t have time but I will record a short version story about you and Lina so you can listen to it on your mission.” Alright, little brother you go get ready I will arrange everything for you to the island, and with your skill training should be successful on this family task.

Brother Koinn shows me to the door and tells Joanna to get ready escorting me to the transportation that I have an island to catch. So, I went back to my room to get all my kinds of stuff and in my mind still wondered what was going on here my daydream or something or a new reality when reach a certain age or phase of our life? I pack all my pieces of stuff then I go open the door and there is my head of security detail Joanna standing waiting for me. Joanna took my backpack and told me to follow her to the transportation. When I arrive the transportation and my transportation is a helicopter out the field in the huge backyard of our mansion. My sister-in-law Miaya ran out to me shouting wait… wait… A few female bodyguards were running behind my sister-in-law Miaya.

Joanna said, “You go ahead and talk to Mrs. Miaya and I will wait for you at the helicopter.”

I said, “OK, see you there. Miaya.”

My sister-in-law arrived took her breath and said to me. Here is the recorder from my lovely husband Koinn, he wants me to tell you good luck, and come home safe. My sister-in-law Miaya handed them over to me the recorder and kissed me on my cheek. I hugged my sister-in-law and said thank you very much. I will see you soon then I walk toward the helicopter and my sister-in-law Miaya waving goodbye to me. My big brother Koinn standing at the main office’s window saw me also waving goodbye. I get in the helicopter and take off on our way to the airport. When we were in the private jet flying to the nearby island destination I took out the recorder from my big brother and listened to it. I am so surprised by what it said in the recorder about Lina and how she missed death twice and was saved by me but I have no recollection of the incidents. My big brother told me in the recorder that does not reveal this to anyone that I heard the story of Lina and how she missed death twice and was saved by me. So, I destroyed the recorder as instructed by my big brother Koinn.

When we arrived at the destination airport, we had to go on by local transportation because as instructed in the mission I must try to act like a tourist so I did not want anyone to notice that I was on the mission. We are just a tourist, visiting places, and that is what instructed my big brother with my head of security detail Joanna. Only Joanna and I walk off our private airplane. We walked out of the airport and looked for local transportation to the beach where we needed to find a boat to take us to the island. We finally found the local transportation, we put our pieces of stuff into the mini local transportation, and certainly, someone threw a huge backpack into our mini transportation. I could not believe it, it was Lina and she ran to me and hugged me tight that I couldn’t breathe then I said air… air… I need air.

Lina said, “Oh… So sorry Gobben, are you ok?”

I said, “Lina, what are you doing here?” And how did you know I am here at this place, at this time, and did your parents know you are here?

Lina replied, “Of course, my parents know where I am, and matter of fact Brother Koinn knows that I am here with you.”

Oh my… my… Joanna looks not surprised at all, I look at Joanna, and Joanna smiles and takes off into the front seat of the mini transportation. The local driver told us to get in the car and Lina got in first to the back seat. I had to follow Lina’s lead again, I got in the mini transportation and closed the door.

Joanna said, “How are you, Lina?” Did you have a nice flight?

I said, “Wait a minute, did you know Lina will be here with us? Joanna?”

Lina said, “I am fine, and matter in fact I am supper great.”

Joanna smiles and pretends like she does not hear my question to her. The driver asked us if we needed to have a late lunch and he knew the best restaurant at the beach a few miles away from the place where we wanted to go.

Lina said, “Yes, I am hungry and we can go have a late lunch.”

Joanna said, “That’s fine with me, I have no objection to that late lunch.”

The driver looking at me in the rear mirror with his big smiling face, Joanna was also the same as before with her cold face, and Lina was holding my left arm leaning over me on my shoulder. Oh boy, no wonder the driver put on his big smile. I ask softly to Lina, “Lina, how did you get here and gorgeous like you traveling alone here don’t you scared or worried?”

Lina replied softly to my ear and said, “Don’t worry, I am here with my entire security escorting details.” They were watching us when I came to you at the airport.

I said, “Oh… I am glad you are here and safe.”

Joanna starts doing slight coughing, coughing, and coughing. I looked at Joanna and Joanna did a pretending that not to know anything or listen to my soft conversation with Lina. We drove on the local road for a while then we finally reached the restaurant to have a late lunch. We went in and sat down at the table of four including our driver and our driver told us there were a few special menus of food that we needed to try and it was so good. I said, “OK.” Let’s call out a few items on the menu then Joanna said to me. Why don’t you call it if you know how to read the menu, I laughed at Joanna and said, “Sure why not.”

I call out our driver and I tell our driver to pick the items that are good items on the menu for us. Joanna looks at me and gives me a look that looks like someone going to kick you bud. Our driver was happy to pick a few good items on the menu and the waiter came out to take our order. While we waiting for our food to come out a local rich boy came into the restaurant and looked at our table. I immediately told Lina why don’t you switch your seat and sit next to Joanna I will sit next to our driver. Lina smiled and switched the seat with me. The local rich boy with his few men walking toward our table keeps looking at our table this time looking directly at Lina and Joanna. In my mind, I said oh boy… Local boy troubles are coming.

The local rich boy started at our table and I had no clue what he was talking then I asked our driver to translate. Our driver was kind of hesitant to translate because the local rich boy talking dirty to Joanna and Lina. I immediately knew this was not good then I saw the rich boy starting to move his hand toward Joanna then immediately Joanna grabbed the rich boy’s wrist and twisted it so fast that the rich boy lay down on the ground. Joanna still grabbed the local rich boy’s wrist, local boy still lying on the ground shouting, I had no idea what the local rich boy shouting about or what he was saying. Now, the situation has lunch turning into a wrestling match. I look at the local rich boy’s men and give them a sign language that if they back off then your boss local rich boy will be released but those men of local rich boy have no idea. I look at our driver and tell him to translate for me and finally the local rich boy’s men back off then I ask Joanna to release the local rich boy.

Joanna said, “I will release this local rich boy with a twist.”

I said, “No, please.” Just let him go, we want to have lunch, not wrestling troubles.

Joanna pulls up the local rich boy to stand up then Joanna twists his wrist and gives one hard kick to the local rich boy out to the street. Everyone looking at Joanna with their mouth open, except me and Lina. I cover my mouth and Lina smiles. Joanna takes a few steps toward the local rich boy then the local rich boy shouts out immediately the men pull the local rich boy away get in the car drive off. Our driver said that’s amazing, I did not see any girl here do that to that local rich boy.

Joanna said, “Oh yeah, local girls here they are not me.”

Lina looked at Jonna and said, “Joanna, you are amazing.” You handled that situation very well.

I look at Lina and Joanna shaking my head. I would like to remind you that we are here as a tourist, not a wrestling fight match. Ok...

Now, the food is coming out and we finish it quickly then we continue to go to the beach where we going to rent a boat and drive out to the island. We finally found a good boat with a captain who was willing to take us to the island at a good price. We said goodbye to our driver and told him to wait for us when we came back in a few days then take us back to the airport. The driver was very happy to say “yes.” We get ready loading up our things into the boat and here comes wrestling trouble following us to the boat.

Joanna saw those men with a local rich boy again and said, “Don’t worry, I will take care of it.”

The local rich boy coming with nine of his men, they are holding the stick, and getting ready to attack us. I tell Lina to stay behind me and Lina smiles swiftly toward standing behind me. Joanna standing in the position of offensive and I just standing there in front of Lina shielding. The local rich boy said something that I still have no idea then our boat captain translated for us. So, Joanna tells the captain to tell the local rich boy for her if wants me to come and get it.

I said, “Joanna, what?” Why did you say that?

The captain said, “Uhm… I should not say that.” It’s OK with you all.

Joanna told the captain to translate it then the captain translated and immediately the local rich boy told his name to attack us. Joanna quickly responded with forces taking on four men and other men coming straight for Lina and me. Well, now I think I can show off my skill self defense to Lina but when the local rich boy and his men come toward me Lina runs out and takes on all those men with her sharp kill self-defense within less the thirty seconds those local rich boy’s men falling on the ground cannot stand up. The four men attacking Joanna also lying on the ground holding their legs and ankles shouting creaming.

I stood there so amazed Lina and Joanna handled the situation so easily. I thought I could show off some of my defensive skills to attack those local rich boy’s men. Lina walks toward me and smiles.

I asked Lina, “How or when did you learn self-defense skills?”

Lina said, “I learned since I was a child.”

I look at Joanna and Joanna gives thumbs up. I walked toward the local rich boy and gave him a sign language that if this happened or I saw him again I would chop his wrist and ankle like his men on the ground. The captain said it was time to go because it getting dark soon and boating in the dark was not good due to the night high sea and maybe have storm. So, we get on the boat and take off to the island. It took like two hours on the boat to the island and by the time we reached the island it getting dark.

The captain said, “I will stay here for the night and if you all need me then I am here. Come here.”

Joanna said to the captain, “Thank you, we will be back at this location in three days.”

The captain waved us goodbye and off we went into the island’s small path from the beach to the inner land. At this time, I see Lina carrying a huge backpack and I keep looking at Lina. Lina seems very happy because I guess Lina is with me which makes her happy. Joanna is on duty at all times and walking ahead making sure the path is clear and safe to travel through. We walked for a long while in the darkness with our high beam flashing light then we found a small cave. We all went into the small cave to rest for the night and tomorrow we will continue walking into the inner land. In the cave, Lina takes out the camping equipment and puts it on the fire. Joanna scans the area to make sure it is secure for the night. I sat by the fire and reviewed my big brother’s instruction on the paper that instructed open only when arrived on the island. I read the instructions on the paper, Lina came sat next to me, and looked at me. I look at Lina and wonder if I have to ask her. So, I ask Lina but before I ask, I look at Lina’s face in the dark with only the light of the fire, and Lina’s face looks so more beautiful.

I take a deep breath and look at Lina then ask, “Lina, can I ask you a few questions.”

Lina looked at me with her cute smile and said, “Sure, go ahead and ask me.”

I said, “Ok, Lina how… how… How long did you recognize or know me?” It seems like I just met your first time recently and yet you seem to know me a very long time ago.

Lina looked at me with her very cute face and said, “I have known you since we were little and you were very cute then until now even very much cutie today.”

I smile at Lina and ask, “Lina, did our family know each other for a very long time when we were young? Right?”

Lina replied, “Our family knew each other for many generations but something happened when we were young that was hidden from us until we got older and had a family only then it will debrief us a full family history.” Our responsibility comes with the family’s assigned tasks to carry out.

Oh wow, Gobben’s said.

Joanna is sitting on the other side and looking at me with a little sad face saying nothing. Lina looking at the fire and I am so overwhelmed by family secrecy. In my mind, I am Gobben the second son, and my family’s secrets are hidden from me, I guess parents know best what not to tell or tell to their young children until they are old enough can handle the ugly bad truths.

Gobben said, “Alright, what will come and will come. What will not come then we will never see it coming.”

Joanna looked at Gobben’s funny face and said, “What are you talking about? Gobben.” You sound like you are very disappointed.

Gobben looked at Joanna and Lina very curious way. Gobben said, “Well, I know you two know more than me about what protocol of secrets is in mainly my family, and Lina has knowledge more than me in her similar to mine so-called family secrets protocols. I just have to wait then.

Lina looked at Gobben and said, “I don’t know any of this or so-called family secret protocols.” They did not tell me, but I accidentally heard one of my family members talk about it one night.”

Joanna said, “Oh, that’s wonderful.” Everything we talking about here so called family secret protocols that we should not be to know about. That’s great, so wonderful…

Gobben smiles and looks at both girls. Both girls Lina and Joanna look at each other and then look at Gobben. Gobben said, “Alright, good night ladies.” Wish you all wonderful dreams. I am going to the moon, see you all in the morning when I land back on this planet.

Lina is laughing so hard and Joanna making funny faces. Gobben looks at Lina and smiles then turns in for the night. The next morning when all three awake and having coffee made by Lina. Gobben was so surprised that Lina had prepared camping coffee and gave a cup of fresh coffee made to Gobben.

Gobben said, “Thank you very much Lina for the coffee.”

Lina replied, “You’re welcome.” I hope the coffee is good and you like it.

Joanna said, “The coffee is good, thank you, Lina.”

Gobben looked straight at Lina without blinking. Lina took a zip of coffee and noticed that someone staring at her and when Lina looked up saw Gobben staring at her.

Lina looked at Gobben and said, “What? Something in my face that is why you looking me like that, Gobben?”

Gobben said, “Oh no. Lina, it’s just you look so… uhm… So gorgeous this morning.”

Joanna rolling her eyes said, “Oh please…”

Gobben looks at Joanna telling Joanna that I am telling the truth that… Lina looks gorgeous this morning, oh… I meant gorgeous all the time.

Lina walks toward Gobben and then kisses Gobben’s cheek. Joanna looked at Gobben and said, “You don’t expect me to do that to you as Lina did.”

Gobben said, “Oh no, that’s alright.”

Joanna said, “That’s good. You expecting that is good.”

Gobben smiled and said, “Well, I expecting more from you Joanna.” Two kisses on both of my cheeks.

Lina laughed and spat coffee at the same time then all three of them laughed.

All three finished their morning coffee then on their way continued the mission that Gobben took on from his big brother Koinn. Gobben leads the way looking at the map, finding the direction from the map, and Gobben pointing directory to clear the path working on the island bushes. Gobben led the way through the path of bushes then Gobben saw a clear ahead with the sounds of the waterfall.

Lina said, “I’m hearing the waterfall and it’s getting louder.”

Joanna said, “I hear it too.”

Gobben clears the path of bushes quickly walking ahead and there is in the clear up on top of the mountain waterfall heavy falling to the big pond. Lina and Joanna run forward ahead passing Gobben to the waterfall pond. Both Lina and Joanna refresh themselves with water in the pond. Gobben walked to the waterfall pond slowly and watched the surroundings. After Lina and Joanna refreshed Gobben looked at the top of the waterfall and saw the hidden narrow entrance to the narrow side cave behind the upper of the waterfall. Gobben tells Lina and Joanna to look up at the waterfall closely behind the waterfall there is a dark narrow path like a brown path poll image.

Gobben said, “We need to go up there and check it out.”

Lina said, “Let me go up there and check it out.”

Gobben looks at Lina and says, “Oh well my ladies, this job is let me do it because I am stronger climbing than anyone here. Agree?”

Joanna laughed and said, “Oh yeah, you wish.” I will go up there check it out and you two stay down here chat… chat…”

Gobben said, “Wait a minute there.” What do you mean chat… chat… Uh, Joanna?

Lina smiled and said, “Gobben, don’t you want chat… chat… with me?”

Gobben put on a cute smile and said, “Oh, second good thought.” Joanna, you go ahead and call us if you need us.

Joanna made her eyes roll around and started to find a way to climb up the waterfall to the hidden narrow path behind the waterfall. In the meantime, at the waterfall pond, Lina and Gobben talking.

Gobben clearing his throat said, “Uhm… Lina, when did you know me for the first time, how, when, and where?”

Lina smiled and said, “I will tell you only one that is when.” When we were young, very young, our family went on vacation together actually for us it was a vacation but for our parents was for a conference. You saved me from the bully kids at the pool. Back then I was not a good swimmer and I fell into the pool being pushed by bully kids at the pool. You were there, Gobben. You defended me and you saved me from drowning in the pool. You did the CPR, my parents and your parents witnessed you saved me.

Gobben looking at Lina asks, “Lina, is that where… Where… Uhm… You… You… You know.”

Lina looks at Gobben with her lovely cute face and asks, “What? What I know what?”

Gobben smiled and shying said, “At that moment, you have a crush on me?”

Lina smiled and said, “Not only that very first crush on you but also my very first kisses by you.”

Gobben coughing said, “Uhm… Lina, you must be mistaken. I did not kiss you but I tried giving you CPR.”

Lina put both hands on Gobben’s shoulders and said, “To me, that was my very first kiss and it’s not up for discussion.” Lina kisses Gobben.

Gobben’s eyes rolling.

From the top mountain of the waterfall, Joanna has reached the waterfall narrow path behind the waterfall and walks back out looking down the waterfall pond and seeing Lina and Gobben kissing. Joanna said, “Oh, please… The two love birds.” Joanna shouts, “Hey… Hey… You guys, I found the hidden pathway behind the waterfall.” But Lina and Gobben cannot hear Joanna due to the heavy waterfall noises. Joanna has to walk down to both Lina and Gobben. When Joana walks toward Lina and Gobben. Lina facing saw Joanna walking toward her but still kissing Gobben.

Joanna said, “Uhm… Uhm… Excuse me… Excuse me, the love birds… Yoo-hoo…” I found the hidden narrow pathway behind the waterfall up on top there. Is anyone from Love Birds interested in it?

Gobben is surprised that Joanna is here, Lina still won’t let Gobben go, and keep kissing him.

Gobben said, “Ohh… Oh… Uhm… Lina, we need to go.”

Joanna said, “Love birds, the waterfall keeps falling and it won’t stop.” Let’s go.

Lina and Gobben grabs their belonging follow Joanna leads the way to the top hidden pathway behind the waterfall. Joanna leads the way through the top behind the waterfall there is a narrow path with a very small gap that just fits one average thin person going through the narrow path.

Lina walked behind Joanna and Gobben followed from the rear, Joanna saw something dark standing ahead and then stopped, Lina bumped into Joanna, and Gobben followed from the rear seeing Lina stopping and not moving.

Gobben asks, “What’s wrong, why don’t you move?”

Joanna replied, “There is something dark ahead blocking the way and I want to check it out first.” Why don’t you both stay here?

Gobben said, “No, since we are all here then we go together.” No separating. Alright?

Joanna took out a bigger flashlight and turned on shining the pathway in front. Joanna moved slowly forward, Lina following behind Joanna, and Gobben coming from the rear. Lina sees something bright white flashing back when Joanna shins the flashlight to it.

Lina said, “There… There… You see that, Joanna?”

Joanna replied, “See what?”

Lina pointing the right side of a direction told Joanna to shine the flashlight at it then they saw the square white metallic box sitting on top of the rock. The metallic box sitting on the rock place where it had little more space for three of them surrounding the metallic box. Joanna shines the metallic box with her big flashlight and tells Gobben to open the box.

Gobben said, “The metallic box had a lock how do I open it.”

Joanna said, “Did your big brother give you an envelope, inside the envelope was a map. What else besides the map.”

Gobben taking out the envelope looks into it and sees a key tape inside the envelope. Gobben shouts, “Ha… Ha… I found it.”

Lina looked at Gobben smiled and said, “Well, take it out and unlock the metallic box see what surprise awaits us in the box.”

Joanna looks at Lina with her enthusiastic eyes and Gobben looks at Lina like someone very curious about the gorgeous girl with little funny humor. Gobben said, “OK, let me open the metallic box and see what’s inside awaiting us.”

Gobben started to open the metallic box very slowly and said, “Oh my Burger… Burger!!!”

Lina asks, “What? You see burger inside?”

Joanna said, “What burger?”

Gobben said, “I cannot believe it, it’s a silver thumb drive, and how do we have a laptop here to plug the thumb drive in to look at what’s in the thumb drive.”

Joanna and Lina both shouted to Gobben, “Are you kidding?”

Gobben said, “Nope, I guess we have to go home and explore what’s inside the thumb drive with my big hamburger with no cheese.”

Joanna said, “OK, I have too much fun and I am out of here.”

Lina said, “Count me in.”

Gobben said, “Wait, what about me?”

Lina and Joanna both said, “What’s about you? You can be following us, can you not?”

Gobben smiled and followed both ladies out of the narrow cave. When all three reach outside the narrow path hidden cave climbing down to the waterfall pond, about two dozen look-like private men are waiting, and pointing guns at Joanna, Lina, and the last person following Gobben.

Gobben said, “Oh well, we couldn’t find what we thought but at least….” Gobben looks up then stops talking. The men surround all three of them looking straight at Lina and Joanna shouting Wow…. Woo… Look at those two models…

Gobben knew this was trouble, trying to divert the conversation and tell the look-alike private men that Gobben had a lot of money if they let them go then I give all the money to you.

One of the men like a leader comes out and said, “Ohh… Ohh… We take all, your money, and those two models. Right men?”

Joanna said, “I will take all and you two run as fast as you can.”

Lina looks at Joanna and Gobben looks very stunning when Joanna says that. Lina said, “I am with you, Joanna.”

Gobben shouts, “Stop… Stop…” I know this situation is very bad but we can negotiate out of it.

One of the men’s lead said, “I want comfy tonight with my models… Hoo.. Hoo…” The men laughing.

All the guns are pointing at Gobben, Lina, and Joanna. The leader of the men looks like a private and tells his men to take the girls and kill the guy.

Lina and Joanna are about to start to fight then Gobben says, “Woo… Woo… Woo.. Stop!!!” We need to talk.

The leader of the look-a-like private’s men said, “No talk!!!”

Gobben shouts out, “At least, I say goodbye to my girls!!!”

The leader looks at Gobben laughing said, “Your girls? Ohh no… Ohh no… No more.” But, I will give you one minute to say goodbye to these two models then you permanently goodbye to you.

Gobben said, “Oh, thank you!!! Thank you!!!”

The leader of the look-a-like private men allows Gobben to talk to his two models for one minute. Lina and Joanna both said at the same time, “Are you nuts!!!”

Gobben replied, “Ohh yes... Yes!!! I am nuts all of you my girls.”

Gobben tells Lina and Joanna to come close to Gobben but the two are hesitant. Gobben has come to Lina and Joanna to say goodbye.

Gobben said, “Let me hug you for the goodbye, here are two remote controls for the detonation bombs on the side path we came in. I layout on both sides and when you see the little palm trees that is where you can trigger it but remember that you must stay in the path or try to run on the path until you see the big tree from your left if we go out then turn run don’t look back. Pushing the second button on the remote will blow up everything surrounding it and believe me you two keep running until you are far away from the explosions. Alright, let me cry and say goodbye.

Gobben starts crying out loud and saying goodbye to Lina and Joanna. Lina holds tight Gobben in her arms kissing tremendously deep love of a long kiss. All the look-a-like private men were stunning and Joanna said, “I am not going to do that.” Then the look-a-like private men leader tells his men to take both girls away and orders his three men to stay behind to terminate Gobben. Lina and Joanna are pushed away from Gobben both Lina and Joanna look back to Gobben while being pushed away from Gobben.

Gobben smiled while crying and said, “Don’t forget to write and I am waiting for your writing!!!”

The leader of the look-a-like private’s men are confused, a dying man wants to get a letter written, and all the men follow the look-a-like private’s leader going off to the bushes. Gobben is staying behind with three look-a-like private men. Gobben looks at three look-like private men talking about how to put an end to this guy by putting a bullet into his head, two bullets into his heart, or two bullets into his eyes.

Gobben heard three look like private men talking and pretending to a stomach pain then laying down on the ground shouting. Meanwhile, the group took Lina and Joanna walking through the bushes path Lina looking for the landmark that Gobben told earlier. Joanna looked in front about twenty yards to see the landmark looking at Lina asked, “Is that…” Joann using her head pointed the direction. Lina looked in the direction that Joanna showed by using her head then Lina sneezed the loud word “YES!”.

All the men looking at Lina wondering about Lina’s sneeze “YES!” then Joanna shouted “Lina” then dropped down to the ground immediately Lina dropped down on the ground too. All the looked like private men confused and didn’t know what these two ladies were up to then Joann pressed button number one on the remote the big explosion started from both sides of the thin narrow path walk of bushes. Lina pressed button number one on her remote too and a bigger explosion on both sides of the thin narrow path bushes from the way up front to the way back big explosion. Lina and Joanna started crawling to the left side very tiny bushes marked with head bushes pointing direction. Both Lina and Joanna crawled through the narrow bushes pointing direction path.

Gobben at the waterfall pond with three looks a like private men heard a big loud explosion frighten three look a like private’s men then Gobben jumped and attacked one of the three men twisting an arm with a gun both rolling. Gobben got the gun and started firing the two looked like private men both the heart and both men fell on the ground. In the last man of the three struggling fight Gobben, Gobben uses his both legs to kick and push the look-a-like private men off then fires three bullets two into the stomach and the third one into the look-a-like private man’s head. Gobben quickly grabs his backpack and runs toward the location of Lina and Joanna.

Meanwhile, Lina and Joann crawl out away the explosion Lina asks, “Do we push the second button?”

Joanna replied, “I don’t know, are we far enough to push the second button or crawling a little longer than push the second button.”

Lina said, “Oh hell, I pushed the second button.” This time the explosion with a fireball blows at the leader and he looks a like private man.

Joanna said, “Alight, I just pushed the second button.”

Even this time more intensified fireball explosion from where they looked like private men and the leader were. Even the captain of the boat who took Gobben, Lina, and Joanna out to this island saw the huge fireball explosions.

The captain of the boat said, “Wow, woo… Wow…” What’s happening, I hope they are ok.

The captain started driving the boat toward the beach close to where the explosion was and Gobben ran toward the beach shouting “OHH My!!!” I guess I put too much explosion into one pack. Gobben ran very fast toward the beach, jumping over the little rocks, and jumping over the ditch-waters. At the beach, Lina and Joanna reaching out open the beach saw the boat coming toward them.

Lina and Joanna shouted out to the boat,” Over here… Over here… We’re here!!!”

From two hundred yards away from Lina and Joanna three men are walking out to the open on the beach. It’s the leader of the look-like private’s men with his two men left who survived the explosions, shouting to Lina and Joanna “We got you.” The leader of the look-a-like private shot two shots into the air to make Lina and Joanna notice him.

Lina and Joanna heard the gunshots looked back and saw three men approaching. The captain of the boat who took Gobben, Lina, and Joanna to the island sped up to the shore at the same time tried to pull out his shotgun. The lead of the three looks like private pointing the gun at Lina and Joanna. From tree bushes behind about one hundred yards the three look like private men there is Gobben reaches the beach and sees the situation of Lina and Joanna. Gobben pauses and thinking needs to slowly and quietly come up behind throw a surprise attack or shoot them. Gobben checking his gun sees only two bullets left in the clip. Gobben takes a chance to walk up behind and do a surprised attack that is the only way. Gobben starts slowly walking out avoiding stepping on anything on the beach that could be making noises. Lina and Joanna saw Gobben walking out toward behind the three looking like private men slowly.

Joanna smiled looking at the three look like private men said, “Hey, you know. You got us, why don’t we make the deal, let us go, and we pay you a very large amount of money that you three cannot imagine spending for the rest of your lives.”

Lina put on a very cute smile and said, “Oh yes, I will give you more money than you could imagine for the rest of your life spending would never end.”

The Leader of the look-a-like private’s men said, “Oh yea, I tell you what.” Why don’t I get you both spending the rest of my life and including all your money.” How are those men and my models?

Gobben slowly walking up behind the three men who looked like privates said, “Oh yeah, not in your all life touching ever touching my girls.” Gobben kept looking at the back of the three men but forgot to look where he stepping on the sand then one big cracking noise broke out. Gobben stepped on the small dry branch on the sand cracking then three men who looked like privates turned around to see Gobben about ten yards away from them. Now, all four men have a gun in their hands, three look like private men have guns, and Gobben holding a gun in his hand. All four of them were in the freezing moment.

At this intensified moment, Lina and Joanna look so worried for Gobben because the fight shooting going to happen anytime. Lina looks at Gobben then shouts, “Hey, you idiot!!!”

Three men look a like private turn around and look at Lina, Gobben aims at three men the first shot into the left of Gobben, then the leader of the three looks a like private turns around Gobben aims at the lead and fires the last bullet hits the look like private’s leader on the chest, and the third private man on the right of Gobben aim fire at Gobben. Gobben jumped on the third man tackled him down on the sand twisted the hand of the third look-alike private, the gun fell off, Gobben used his elbow to knock the third private man’s face, and then grabbed the gun. The lead of the look-like private try sitting up and aiming at Gobben fire one shot and Gobben return fire at the leader of a like private men and the third private man.

Lina and Joanna run toward Gobben while looking at three dead private men, Gobben’s position is kneeling on the sand, and looking at Lina and Joanna.

Lina runs toward Gobben and kneeling grabs both her hands around Gobben crying and says, “I miss you, are you ok, are you hurt?”

Joanna standing beside Lina and looking down at Gobben said, “You know what, if I may, I could kiss you know Gobben. You know that?”

Gobben smiles, looking at Lina and Joanna. Gobben said, “No one taking my girls away from me… me…” Gobben falls his head onto Liana’s shoulder.

Lina smiled and said, “Sure, no one only you.”

Joanna saw Gobben falling into Lina and immediately rushed to Gobben pulled him out checked on his body found two bullets hit Gobben’s right shoulder and one into his left chest near his heart. Gobben bleeding and blood starts pouring out wet his shirt.

Joanna runs calling out to the boat to come in quickly and Lina is trying to apply pressure on Gobben’s wounds. Lina crying out loud to Gobben said, “Don’t leave me… Don’t leave me… No… No… Don’t leave me again…”

Gobben’s eyes started to close and his sight started getting dark.

The light’s out… The last sight Gobben sees is Lina crying looking straight at Gobben. The Captain gets his boat close to Gobben and the Captain jumps out of his boat running toward Gobben seeing Gobben bleeding.

The Captain said, “Help me bring him on board and let me get my ER kits to treat him. Quickly!!!”

Lina and Joanna help the Captain bring Gobben on board his boat. In the meantime, from the Mansion of Gobben’s big brother, Koinn gets an alert through both phones of Koinn and Koinn’s wife Miaya message displaying “Gobben’s heartbeats are slowing!!! Alert!!! Gobben could be unconscious!!!” Koinn’s face starts looking pale and he picks up the phone immediately calling his people to go find Gobben and Koinn providing the last known location of Gobben. Koinn’s wife Miaya runs into the office toward Koinn shouting “Gobben!!!” I got alerts that Gobben’s heartbeat was slowing and could be unconscious.

Koinn wrapped his arms around his wife Miaya and said, “Don’t worry, I have called our people to find Gobben right now.” We will have an update soon, the alerts only said Gobben’s heartbeats slow down, and remember we do have Joanna at Gobben’s side.

Miaya grabbed both her arms around her husband Koinn said, “I hope so. Gobben, you must be safe and sound come home.” Koinn kisses Miaya’s cheek and holding Miaya tightens.

Far away, on the ocean, on the boat, the Captain singing the captain of the sea song. Joanna standing next to the Captain listening to his singing, Lina is holding Gobben’s hand and putting Gobben’s hand on her cheek, and Gobben is about to wake up hearing the Captain singing and talking to Joanna. Gobben slowly opens his eyes and sees Lina right next to him. Lina is very happy when sees Gobben opening his eyes and Lina smiles at Gobben.

Joanna turned around also seeing Gobben open his eyes, the Captain turned around looked at Gobben, and smiled at Gobben. Joanna said, “Gobben, you need to thank you the Captain saved your life.”

Lina looks at Gobben and nods her head. Gobben said, “Thank you Captain for saving my life.”

Captain replied, “You’re welcome my young man.” You know I have not performed the tasks as a navy medic for a very long time.” Hey, I thank you for giving me a chance to recall my youth.

Gobben looks at Captain with surprise, gratitude, and smiles. Gobben looks at Lina straight into Lina’s eyes, staring at Lina, and gently smiles at Lina.

Lina looked at Gobben and said, “Don’t you worry, everything should be okay. You will be fine.”

Gobben put on a very cute smile at Lina and said, “Ohh… Uhm… I think I heard earlier a very gorgeous girl said to me, Don’t leave me…?” Don’t leave me again…” I think or I believed that is what I heard. Did you say that, Lina?

Joanna smiles…

Lina replied, “Uhm… Ohh… I.. I.. I don’t know where you heard that, could be you lost a lot of blood and dreaming.”

The Captain said, “Oh yeah, you did lose a lot of blood my boy.”

Joanna said, “Captain, don’t interrupt love bird conversation.”

Gobben said, “What love bird?” I ask a simple question before I black out. I heard a gorgeous girl say, “Don’t leave me again…”

Lina puts her both hands on Gobben’s cheeks and looks straight eyes to eyes Gobben then slowly moves toward Gobben kissing Gobben. Gobben now cannot talk or ask any questions. The only Gobben can do is kiss and kiss Lina.

The Captain starts singing the Captain of the Sea song and Joanna joins in singing along.
