"this is really complicated" A young man in his early twenties spoke, having wavy brown hair. he stood facing the glass window that reached to the floor, staring out at the city.
"more complicated than I thought. Ray how long will it take?" Another young one of his age who sat facing the motionless and expressionless Ryan sitting at the desk facing his back to both the siblings asked the wavy brown hair guy.
"I really don't know" Ray sighed deeply, it seems the person behind all this is not only powerful but also smart.
"I was thinking about the girl" Ryan finally spoke that had the two turn towards him.
"you're in love?" Ray botted in, upon hearing what Ray, Ryan frowned.
"nonsense" Ryan glared at his talkative and noisy cousin heaven blessed him with.
"it's fine if you are, you know....." feeling the intensity of the gaze being thrown at him, piercing through his back to back stab him, Ray had to shut his mouth.
"no offense" he surrendered
"what about her?" Jason said bringing them back to the topic.
"I think there is a huge relation to her" Ryan looked visibly frustrated as he spoke. He fortunately tumbled on the information and he felt it was not a wrong information, even if it was just a false one he decided to dig deeper because he felt it was definitely related to her.
"why do you think so" Jason questioned him turning to face the siblings.
"are you assuming this because there are lots of similarities between you two?" Ray asked pertaining to Eli.
"yes. I find it suspicious. Mom once told me she had a twin that got lost and later proclaimed dead."
this caught the attention of the rest, silence enveloped the room for some time as it seems they were in deep thought. Ray felt his brain was going to explode if he keep thinking of the possibilities.
"ah!! this is so frustrating!" he exclaimed as he pulled his hair lightly before letting go.
"em.." Jason started to have the others undivided attention, "you said your stepmom was your mother's childhood friend, and now she is your stepmom. The question here is, was your stepmom friends with with mom when her twin was alive?" He asked and Ryan frowned.
"that I don't know really" Ryan answered feeling frustrated.
"so?..." Ray who was busy looking at the city asked, "what's the plan?, how are we proceeding?"
"I will do the finding, but I need you to keep your stepmom close by, and in your grasp.. and also keep in touch with the girl."
"sure. thanks a lot" Ryan couldn't be more grateful. He knew Jason could get to the bottom without stress, but he couldn't help but worry 'cause he really didn't know much about the guy and he seems a little mysterious, though he had tried finding about him but nothing was found.
"you don't need to say thanks"
"see? I told you Ryan, you are quite problematic to begin with , trying to solve everything on your own, disturbing my beauty sleep. Ah!!, finally!" the talkative Ray who had been standing there listening to them quietly suddenly switched to his usual mood.
" Ray don't be too excited yet, I need you to be patient, the search might take long" Jason said to have both siblings straighten up.
"no problem, as long as we get the bottom" Ryan assured.
There was a minute of silence and then another tornado erupted when Ray asking Jason some questions
"forgive my curiosity Jason, can I ask you a question?"
"go ahead" given the permission to continue, Raymond sat straight, "you know you can't leave us in the dark, right?"
"mm"
"tell me, who are you?" there goes the blast. Raymond observed Jason, seeing him not respond Ray felt he is being too intrusive.
"forgive me, but, we are working together now, so we have to know. Truth be told, I've tried getting information about you but found nothing. Could you please grace us with at least little info about you" Ray spoke without a pause. Jason stared at Ray for quite some time before answering,
"you can't know anything about me unless you are lucky to meet a family member which isn't possible to happen, or you're quite good at hacking and a crazy one at that. I shut down all information about me so you won't be able to find anything" Jason thought it would be better if they at least know little about him. He knew they were good people and they were also the ones that helped him escape the soldiers his father sent to get him back.
"so..... you wouldn't tell us? at least where you are from?" Ray continued probing to at least know little information about him, he needed to know at least little info about this mysterious guy.
"I'm from country A, and my full name is Jason Li Sy" Jason answered
"h - huh? J - Jason Li Sy? not Jason Frost?" Ray stammered not knowing how to feel about it, 'wait.... Sy? do you mean....ah!!!!'
"Jason Li Sy? you mean you are related to Liam Sy?" Ryan couldn't believe it,
"mm"
It came as a shock to the siblings, who would have thought Jason was related to the red dragons?
"I don't get it, ah!!, my head will soon burst. Wait.. were you his body guard?" the curious Ray asked. though both siblings were dying of curiosity but Ray's was actually increasing with great intensity with every passing minute.
"No I wasn't. The red dragons was transferred to him from the royals,"
"r - royals"
"are you related to the royals?" Ryan asked.
"the group was formed because of me" he said walking around to watch the scenery.
"y - you? h - how?"
