SCENE 27: In an old warehouse
Our impressions of people tend to be based on our intuition...there are times where we like people because we feel relaxed when seeing them… there other times where we feel disturbed for just hearing a name of someone… Someone whom we have never seen… or interacted with …
It is incredible to how people trust their inner voice without hesitation, they believe …they never regret because their souls decided to like or dislike that person … Yet.. is it right to do so? Without communicating with others, we tend to judge them just for a simple feeling of uneasiness towards them … we tend to hate and act upon this hatred ... harm people and hurt them... Just because we don't feel comfortable around them?
Human beings are selfish and egocentric …and so are their judgments…
In an old warehouse, Si Da wakes up and finds herself tied!! She startles and wanted to shout. When she saw Amie (wearing the woman's outfit) she retracted,
Si Da didn't like Lu Di since the first time they met and she was always treating Si La in a better way, she tried to create chances between Ka Di and Si La as she believes Si La is the best person for her brother and the best sister-in-law.. That was how she felt...and she then acted upon this feeling..
When she felt that Ka Di was trying to approach Lu Di, she was always blocking them, and always deprecated Lu Di in front of everyone…Yet, for Lu Di, the incredibly smart student and the school's queen as she was named at that time… Si Da was just a spoiled child.. there were many times where Si Da tried to belittle Lu Di in front of other students, but Lu Di turned the table and made of Si Da the Joke of the school …countless times..
The feeling of disliking Lu Di grew up steadily because of this, and her feelings turned into hatred…and when hatred overwhelm someone, their actions will be uncontrollable… in a day of regret, in the fall season …Si Da would never forget, it was then when she defeated Lu Di… for the first and the last time…
Amie started speaking first: "are you finally awake?"
Si Da: "wha..What happened!! Why am I here!!"
Amie: cause you are not careful enough in your life"
Si Da: what do you mean!! I was with Si La, then ...a women came to ask me about the restroom, I lead her way…then.." she tries to remember more ..but her head hurts..
Amie: You are stupid… why a woman wearing the mall manager's suit would ask for a restroom? …. That woman dragged you there and she drugged you in the restroom. There were at first about four men guarding the restroom. There were no CCTVs inside that restroom…that's why they chose it, so they knew well the place. Because of that, it was easy for me to come into the restroom… the camera's outside the restrooms were problematic…" she thinks "I wish he will understand my signs"…
Si Da: you were there? And why are we here? Why didn't you call the police?
Amie looking at her with a strange eyes "are you afraid?" she asked..
Si Da thinking "these eyes are different from the first time we met, as if they are two different persons!!!" "Of course I am!! What do you think? I will be kidnapped and be happy about it?" she said…
Amie: then should we just go? Actually, I thought you would like to help your brother!
Si Da: Ka Di?? What do you mean?
Amie looking around the warehouse: you think you are kidnapped because you are famous? Or you are rich? She looks at her: you are here, because you are an Akman!! What they are looking for is not you, they want your brother!!!
Si Da astonished: what? What do you mean? Please tell me!
Amie: "don't you know the history behind your family name!! Akman Group in 2009 was the strongest and the richest group …until October, something big happened, pushed you to move abroad, and leave your group behind!!!" Amie looked at her: "you actually remember that fall, don't you?"
Si Da was dazed: wh..o are you? Why do you know that much about us!!
Amie: am not the only one who knows, everyone does!! And even those who brought you here do know as much as me!! Or may be more…
Si Da: but I do not know what happened!!! I was young at that time!!
Amie: that's why they are after your brother! The heir of the Hidden group
Si Da: does the group still exist? Wasn't it gone bankrupt on October 22nd, 2009? She puts her eyes to the ground out of sadness or fear of a painful memory that happened in that day..
Amie observed that, she calmly smiled to her, then said: "it was about to go bankrupt!!! But someone saved it and kept that a secret!"
Si Da surprised: Brother Ka Di!!!!! Wait but he was only 15 years old…!!
Amie: you still do not know your brother yet!
Before Si Da asks anything more, they heard the sound of the door opening, Amie says hastily: follow my lead and do what I ask you to do!! I am an ally, not an enemy. Now return to your sleep!! I will talk to them first" Si Da does what Amie says, as there is nothing she can do!!
The men came in.. They were big, broad-shouldered, scary men... Their looks tell about the number of bodies they buried, and the amount of blood they shed in their lives..
"Men with no fear!! They are different from the four men who came to the company the first time.. They are different!!" Amie thinks … "looking closely to them, they look like th…thos…" before finishing her sentence, her heartbeat increased, her chest was out of breath, she was breathing hardly and slowly, for the first time.. Amie was scared… really terrified"
Si Da took a glance at her, her face was sweating, pale like a lime!!, "what's going on?" she thought!! Because she was scared, she couldn't look at the men, and she carried on playing the sleeping princess 'I trust you Amie, please save us!! I will reward you as much as I can"! She murmured silently...
As the men were approaching, Amie was clenching her fists, tying herself to the chair.. she tried to get rid of her stress.. "calm down Amie!! calm down…, back then you were able to defeat them all.. no..no much how scary they were…(she hardly dare to breathe).. You …you…could defeat them…, you can… do the same now!! For the sake of this innocent girl in front of you…you need to save her... I shall.. I need to.. " she was speaking to herself .. "After all, now you have your family waiting for your return…Jay, Mom, wait for me, I coming back". She closes her eyes ..inhales and exhales … and then open her eyes..
The men looking at her "you are awake? The other is still sleeping!"
Amie: "I wasn't sleeping to begin with"
The men astonished: "what do you mean?"
Amie signs "I am the woman you have asked to drug her!" She was silent for a while, then said: "PPP-101A"
One of the Man: what do you mean?
Amie: you tell me!! As Ask Ja Ku, he gave it to me.
The Man looks to the phone then says she is the woman Ja Ku chose!
Then they say: why are you tied with her, then?
Your man did, I have no idea, why don't you ask them? Amie said.
The man tried to call them, but they didn't answer.
One of the man said: maybe they are in another mission.
Amie: why do you waste your time, call Ja Ku directly, let him come and see that I am the woman he used!
The men weren't sure, so Amie was obliged to convince them.
Amie: Ja Ku said that if I encode the passcode they gave me, I will save my kids. PPP-101A is the code for them to be saved.
The man: she is the woman, why do you waste your time!
The leader: shut your mouth up!! I know what I am doing!! So what's the meaning of the passcode?
Amie: "Parent Partner Peremptory"…. She keeps silent for a moment, then adds: "For the numbers!! …She looks at them "he needs to be here to tell you about them" she adds.
The leader: "why would he?"
Amie: cause even you, you do not know the meaning! Do you?
The men looking at her angrily! Amie, after seeing them that way, was more relaxed, she thinks: their game didn't change after these years"; she smirks and says: if you want to be members of my clan, call Ja Ku to come here, you will be promoted as my clan!!
Si Da was trying to focus, but she didn't understand anything, but she decided to trust Amie as she already saved her in the company's hall.
The man: "if Ja Ku comes, what will you say?"
Amie: if I weren't the women, I wouldn't ask for him to come, he is the one who hired me, and he is the one who has my kids…!! I need to make sure my kids are all safe..
The men decided to call for him ..
Ring ring ring … there is not answer..
The man he might be busy with the big-boss .. we will come back later.. but if we find out that you are not that woman, you will die in the worst way!! I hope that princes will be awake when we come back!! We want to play with Akman's princess a bit before handing her to the boss!!
Amie didn't reply to them, and looked at them smiling sarcastically…
Amie thinking: at least I have some time…!! He helped me gaining some time..
"The fear she felt when she saw them, faded away, it was like being erased in her mind ... she changed in a second ... but what happened to her?? Who are these men? How could a strong woman like Amie feels scared!!! Are we really doomed? Si Da was thinking…
Amie: you will succeed in your acting career... a very good actress indeed!!
Si Da: did they go? Wow!! What were you talking about with them? I couldn't understand a word.
She looks at Amie, and surprised, her face was still sweating… her breath is slow.. she was opening her eyes heavily… Si Da was surprised to see her that way!! "Is she scared to this point? I can't believe that!! Although I knew her just for once, but her eyes, her looks weren't for some kind of coward person, what happened to her" ..she tried to speak to her, but Amie signaled to her indirectly to keep acting again… Si Da carried on acting being sleeping. After a short period of time, a man entered the warehouse…he was looking for something…
He came to Amie, untied her and tried to touch her.. but she fled "what are you doing? If Ja Ku knows, you will be condemned to death!!
The man: Don't move!! I am searching for something!
Amie: what a lame excuse!! Amie started to shout so as the other men hear!! "I should win some time for them, I won't be able to resist for long" She talks to herself.. she started shouting and calling for the other men
The men entered again: what's going on?
Amie: call Ja Ku right now!! This man tried to harass me!
The men: what!! don't you know who she is?
Si Da: seriously? Who is she? She wondered
The first man: but I have got a phone signal from her, and I am trying to find the phone here..
Amie: we have been already searched by the man when they first brought us here. In the car!! That man searched us!!
The man she pointed at: yes we did. We fount nothing… the four men we used in the mall said that they left their phones in the restroom to prevent trackers to find the signal.
The man: we are sure that the signal came from this warehouse!
Amie: then bring a woman to search me!! I do not care about her.. but for me I need a woman or bring Ja Ku here!!
The leader of the gangsters tried to call Ja Ku, but still didn't answer.
The leader: we need to check, bring the woman here.
Amie to Si Da: hey, you!! Wake-up! You slept enough…
Si Da open her eyes widely out of surprise as seeing Amie's face covered by a soft smile!
Si Da talking to herself: "what a pretty face…and a beautiful smile!!" after a small pause she thought "wait…but what does it mean? Are we doomed? Or saved?"
Amie is unexpected… her brain is a working machine, her heart is a heart of a dead person … none can expect what kind of things did she live in her past, no information exists about her… but her soft smile make others feel relaxed even in face to death.. It gives them the feeling of calm and serenity… her smile speaks words of comfort, words like "it is okay, everything will be all right... Everything will fade with time... you will be safe…" these words show how experienced this Amie is in front of deadly situations, harm and painful experiences…
"Amie.. Please protect my sister, and wait for me to come to save both of you"!!
