Prologue
Washington DC
Two days earlier
The sound of the alarm wake me up. I immediately grab the knife under my pillow and throw it to the alarm.
Ughhh... I broke it again
I still hit it, even though I moved the position to the wall in front of the bed and it is located more than ten meters.
Yes you’re right, this room is big. Unfortunately this isn’t my room.
“JJ breakfast is ready” I hear my brother, John from the intercom beside the bed.
The house has an intercom in each room. “Coming” I reply to him through the intercom.
I remove the blanket that cover my body and get out from the bed. Before I go downstairs, I wash my face and change to more suitable clothes.
While walking in the corridor I see Sarah, my mother and my step dad talking. From the looks of it, they are arguing like it’s an official business. “Good morning, Mr. Queen” I said to break the tension between them.
“Good Morning. Breakfast is ready, go ahead. We’ll catch up.” He replied
So I walk to the dining room. I didn’t said anything to my mother because of our complicated relationship.
“G’Morning john” then kiss him in the forehead. Meet my 7 years old brother. Half brother actually but who cares. Jonathan Queen. My mom third child, while I’m the eldest.
“Good morning to you too J” he have his father’s blue eyes and nose but his hair are light brown like our mother’s. That makes him so cute and handsome.
“What are you eating there?” I ask him.
“The usual, fruit loops with milk. Here I make some for you, and I add some banana in it. Just the way you like it, sis”.
“Thanks” I’m taking it. He’s a very good bro, making his
“And mom made eggs for you. Your favorite, scramble eggs” wow that’s surprising.
“Mom made it? Not the maid?” I said.
He laugh and say “Yes, she made it herself. Don’t tell her I told you that, okay”
“Okay” I said while finishing the eggs first.
“Hey kiddo, finish your breakfast. Mr. Harris is ready for you” Mr. Queen said.
Alexander Queen, the CEO of Queen Cooperation. He and his big brother Arthur Queen made the cooperation from nothing to a multibillionaire cooperation. The reason Alexander become the CEO because Arthur made a mistake in the past, he use the cooperation money to pay his gambling problems. Last time I heard, he’s in prison.
“Dad, I want JJ to take me to school.”
“What?” I stop eating the eggs
“You promised me, that you’ll take me to school today” John said. I didn’t say anything and look at Mr. Queen
“If your mother say it’s okay then go ahead.” Wise answer Mr. Queen
“Where is she then?” john ask while I’m continue eating. I’m eating fruit loops now. I always eat breakfast because I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
“Waking up your brother” Sarah answer it from behind us, while carrying Jovan.
Meet Jovan Queen. My second half brother. He’s now three years old, means he can walk and running around the house. He’s like John, but he have his father’s blonde hair.
“Mom, can JJ take me to school today?” John ask to Sarah
“You have Mr. Harris today, maybe some other day” she said
John pout and say “Then I don’t want to go to school today”
I stop eating again and look at Sarah. She will not letting me drive her first son till I’m getting a license. I’m 15 years old but I don’t have a permit yet.
“Vivienne” Mr. Queen said while taking Jovan from her.
Sarah change her name to Vivienne after she move to the USA. We are originally from Indonesia but Sarah disappeared years ago. Leaving two of her children behind, I was five years old when she leave. After she disappeared my father, who was in the army taught me everything he knows. Now he is one of the ten Lieutenant General in the Indonesia Army.
“How about you can let Mr. Harris drive while I accompany you in the back seat” I suggest.
“Okay, but you’ll pick me up after school right?” john ask to me and I look at Sarah, I mean Vivienne.
“She can’t John, I need her to help me with something” she answered
“Next time okay, now let’s go or you’ll be late” I said to John
“Good bye Mom, Bye Dad” John said and with that we left
The car is a black Mercedes sedan S550, it has a small TV screen inside it. That’s a very expensive car for a five years old, yes this car is a birthday present from Mr. Queen to his son. We are chatting on the way to school. Then we arrive at John school and say goodbye to each other.
After I drop John, I ask the driver to turn the volume of the TV. “This is live in front of The White House, we receive news that there was another attempted kidnapping of Richard Wilson, son of the United States of America 45th president Joseph Wilson. Right now the culprit is...”
My phone is ringing, I ask the driver to stop the car and I take the phone outside the car.
“Conformation”
“White. Id number 19992510”
“Voice confirmed. Id matched. Message from the Agency. White we need you in the office. ASAP”
