THARN(RESPONSE): YES!

HER COMPANY EVEN CHECKS EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES BACKGROUNDS FOR SECURITY PURPOSES. MOST OF THE WORK HER MANAGER LOOKED AFTER. AND IF IT'S CONFIDENTIAL WORK THEN HER COUSIN BROTHER; LUCAS ALDEN, LOOKS it BECAUSE HE'S CO-CEO OF ALDEN EMPIRES. and, WHENEVER BOARD MEETING OR ANY CONFERENCE HELD BY ALDEN'S THEN MISS.

*ALASKA; ANCHORAGE*

MIRA: WHAT IS THIS? I JUST CAME BACK TOMORROW. AND TODAY BIG SISTER FLIES AWAY. SHE DIDN'T EVEN TELL ANYONE WHERE SHE WENT? AND FOR HOW MANY DAYS?

LUCAS: NOT DAYS MIA, MONTHS. FORGET ABOUT THAT SHE'S COMING BACK IN FEW DAYS!. SHE'S TURNED UP LIKE THAT, WHENEVER SHE SUDDENLY VANISHED, SHE COMES BACK AFTER A MONTH OR I CAN SAY IN MONTHS. SHE DON'T EVEN CONTACTS US. IN THIS DURATION, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER WHEREABOUTS.

MIRA: STRANGE? SHE DID NOT LIKE THIS BEFORE!

LUCAS: HMM... FOR THE PAST 2, 3 YEARS SHE STARTS DOING THIS. GENERALLY, YOU'RE NOT HOME THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

MIRA: ARE YOU SURE SHE'S ONLY A BUSINESSWOMAN. NOT SOME SORT OF SECRET AGENT FOR THE ALASKA'S GOVERNMENT, DOING SOME SECRET MISSION?

LUCAS: GOD KNOWS! BUT WHATEVER SHE'S DOING, I HOPE SHE DIDN'T GETS HURT HERSELF LIKE LAST TIME...!

I REMEMBERED EVERY TIME SHE FLY AWAY AND COMES BACK HOME AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. HOW SHE HAD SOME STRANGE SCRATCHES OR BRUISES ON HER HANDS OR FACE. BUT LAST TIME WHEN SHE CAME BACK AFTER 3 MONTHS WITH A BULLET HOLE IN HER STOMACH, WITH A PLASTERED FOOT, AND SOME BRUISES ON HER FACE AND HANDS. EVERYONE WAS WORRIED SICK FOR HER. BUT WHEN WE ALL ASKED HOW ALL THIS HAPPENED?, SHE SIMPLY SAID IT'S BECAUSE OF HER MISFORTUNE. SHE EVEN SAID; PLEASE DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS, AND DON'T TELL ANYTHING TO MIRA. AND AFTER THAT SHE LEFTS FOR OFFICE, LIKE IT'S HER EVERYDAY THING NOTHING MAJOR HAD HAPPENED IN HER LIFE. AFTER THAT SHE DIDN'T LEFT FOR A WHILE, BUT TODAY SUDDENLY SHE LEFT. I JUST WISH MY ALL-MIGHTY STARS TO PROTECT HER.

*ALASKA, JUNEAU*

*ON-CALL*

ISA: IS THE PLAN ALL SET?

...: YES MA'AM. YOUR CV IS READY. AND ABOUT ENTERING BROWN MANSION WE SET EVERYTHING. YOU WILL SAVE SASHA BROWN FROM A LOCAL KIDNAPER, WHO'S TRYING TO KIDNAP HER FOR SOME RANSOM BUT IN THE MEANTIME YOU WILL SAVE HER IN FRONT OF THE BROWN FAMILY\MR. THARN. BUT MA'AM I THINK MR. THARN BROWN IS NOT AN EASY PERSON WHO CAN LET ANYONE ENTER IN HIS HOUSE SO easily. I THINK LIKE LAST YOU NEED TO TAKE A BULLET AGAIN TO ENTER IN BROWN MANSION AND COMPANY.

ISA: YOU ARE RIGHT. BUT THIS TIME I'M TAKING A BULLET IN MY HAND, BECAUSE LAST IT HURT SO MUCH AND IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME TO HEAL. WHICH MAKES MY FAMILY WORRIED. SO BULLET ON MY HAND BECAUSE IT WILL HEAL QUICKLY, SO I CAN ENTER HIS OFFICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

...: OKAY MA'AM! SO I'LL INFORM MY INFORMER ABOUT ALL THIS PLAN EDITION.

*CALL ENDED*

ISA: LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT GOING TO FEEL MY HAND FOR SOME TIME. BYE... BYE MY HAND AND HELLO TO MR. THARN BROWN.

*IN JUNEAU PARK*

*SASHA WAS SITTING ON A BENCH AND CRYING. AND CURSING HER LIFE*

ISA: GET READY ISA. IT'S A SHOWTIME.

*AFTER SOMETIME*

EVERYTHING GOING AS WE PLANNED BUT AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT. WHEN GUNMAN WAS ABOUT TO SHOOT ME, BUT THAT DAMN MR. THARN BROWN COME BETWEEN ME AND THE GUNMAN AND STARTED THE UNPLANNED FIGHT. AND THAT IDIOT GUNMAN JUST TO SAVE HIMSELF FROM MR. THARN, HE SHOOTS THE BULLET WITHOUT AIMING, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT DIDN'T HIT ME INSTEAD OF ME THE BULLET HIT SASHA NEAR HER HEART. LIKE DAMN I'M SO CLOSE TO GET HIT BY A BULLET, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHEN IT HIT THAT LITTLE GIRL? BUT FOR A MOMENT I GOT SHOCKED THAT WHAT JUST HAD HAPPENED. BUT WHEN MR. THARN SEES THAT SASHA GOT HIT BY A BULLET, HE LEFT THE GUNMAN AND RUNS TOWARDS SASHA.

*GUNMAN TOOK THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY AND RUN AWAY*

THARN: SASHA! SASHA? OH, GOD...!! PLEASE DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES. PLEASE PLEASE DON'T CLOSE

*ISA DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S GOING TO DO NOW. BUT SOON SHE REALIZED IT ALSO CAN BE A MOMENT FOR HER TO SHINE AND ENTER IN BROWN COMPANY OR MANSION*

ISA: MR! MR... I THINK WE NEED TO HURRY IF SHE LOSES A LOT OF BLOOD SHE WILL BE IN A DANGER. I'M STUDYING NURSING I KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THIS SITUATION CAN BE. WE HAVE TO BRING HER TO THE HOSPITAL.

THARN: HMM? HUH... YES... YES... YES...

ISA: I'LL CALL THE AMBULANCE! MR?

THARN: THARN! NO WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT FOR AN AMBULANCE. PLEASE HELP ME. YOU SAID THAT YOU STUDYING NURSING RIGHT... CAN YOU HELP ME TO STOP MY DAUGHTER'S BLOOD TILL WE REACH THE HOSPITAL?

*INSIDE CAR*

LOOKS LIKE THIS UNEXPECTED SITUATION WAS GOING TO ASSIST ME TO REACH MY GOAL (SHE SMIRKS). BUT DON'T FORGET ISA THAT IN FRONT OF MR. THARN YOU WERE STUDYING NURSING. SO YOU HAVE TO ACT AS WANNA BE A NURSE TOO. BUT HOW CAN A NURSE AND A BUSINESSWOMAN RELATED TO EACH OTHER?
