At Chicago airport, USA....
Draven sat in the airport was waiting for his flight departure time:
"Where is he? At this rate I'll leave before he arrives." Draven asked himself as he checked his watch.
*zzzzingg* *zzzzingg* *zzzzingg* Draven's phone rung.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hey kid, am sorry but I don't think I'll make it to see you off. Am still tied down with the El cancelo assignment" Jin spoke.
"..... it's fine. I'll see you when your mission done. See you later Jin." Draven replied as he hung up the call.
Draven felt rather sad at the fact that Jin did not come to see him off. Over the past 10 years, Draven and Jin grew very close. Jin thought of Draven as a little brother, and Draven looked up to Jin as though he was his big brother.
Draven got his bag and headed off to his flight gate. He passed the checkpoints and got on his flight to England.
....
Birmingham city, England....
After 4 hours, Draven's flight landed in the evening. He got passed the security checkpoints and proceeded to the parking lot.
There, a man waited for him standing next to dark blue convertible sports car:
"You must be Draven. Master Jin told me to give you this when you arrive back in England" the man said as he handed Draven the car keys.
"Jin sent you?" Draven asked.
"Yes. Master Jin said its your welcome gift from him. I'll be taking my leave now" the man said that and left.
Draven looked at the car:
"Things are off to a nice start...." Draven said as opened his car and drove off.
....
Using the GPS system, Draven managed to find his way to Coder mansion. He drove directly to the main gate and stopped. Security personnel at the gate came to his car and Draven rolled down his window.
"Excuse me sir, do you have an appointment here?" The security guard asked.
"Do I need an appointment to visit my own Uncle's house?" Draven asked.
"Uncle? Lemme see some your ID"
Draven reached for his wallet and pulled out his ID card and showed him.
The security looked closely at the card. After a closer inspection he realized just who was in the car and broke a cold sweat.
In all of England, only one family bares the Coder name and that was mayor Coder's household. So anyone in England who has the name 'Coder' as a last name, was part of thee Coder family.
"...Am deep sorry sir. I-I did not know you were coming young master Coder" the guard stammered "Hey open the gate a VIP is here!" he told the other guard.
The large gate opened letting Draven in. Draven drove in and headed for the parking lot.
Draven parked his car and turned off the ignition. He could see lights from the mansion from his car window.
The lights emitting from the mansion made it appear as if it was a 5 star hotel of which Draven was all to familiar with.
Draven got out of his car and started walking towards the main entrance. A servant at the door opened the doors and Draven walked in. As Draven walked further in the mansion, a maid who had long braided hair and looked about 28, wearing a slightly elegant uniform came up to him:
"Good evening sir, my name is Maria, the head maid of the Coder mansion. If you may come this way to the lounge, you'll served and attend to as you wait for master Syven to come" Maria said.
"It's fine. I'll just head to uncle Syven's office right away." Draven replied.
"Am sorry sir but visitors aren't allowed to go up the first floor. You'll have to wait in the lounge." Maria insisted not knowing who Draven was.
"What seems to be the problem Maria?" A voice of an elderly man come from the stairs.
"Sir Albert....It's nothing but our guest here wants to go up to master Syven's office. I told him he can't but he insists" Maria explained.
"Sir, as Maria said you can't-...." Albert paused after looking at Draven closely.
Draven smirked as he looked back at Albert:
"Have you really forgotten me Albert? How sad" Draven smiled as he said.
"Dr-Draven is that really you?"
"It's been a while Albert, good to see you're doing well."
Albert walked down the stairs to where Draven and Maria stood. Albert came close and touched Draven's shoulder and smiled:
"It really is you. Draven you're really back. You've grown into a tall handsome young man haven't you?" Albert tried to hold back his tears.
"Draven? Wait this is Draven? As in Draven master Syven's nephew?" Maria asked.
"Yes it's him. It really is him." Albert excitedly answered.
"I-I am sorry I didn't know young master Coder. I had no idea." Maria bowed.
"It's okay. Lift you head" Draven said.
"Maria started working here as a maid right after you left 10 years ago so she doesn't know you. But the other house staff kept talking about you so she only knew your name" Albert explained.
"I see..... is uncle Syven in his office? I want to see him before I do anything else." Draven asked.
"Yes, master Syven is still in his office finishing up on his work" Albert answered. "Maria organize one of the big bedrooms on the second floor for Dr- I mean for the young master. That will be his room from now on."
"But the rooms on the second floor are only for the main Coder family members right? And from what I heard the young master was treated like one of us" Maria asked.
"These aren't my orders but master Syven's. He told me young master Draven would be returning any day this month and that we should prepare one of the rooms on the second floor" Albert explained.
"Am sorry I didn't know. Forgive me sir Albert" Maria bowed again.
Sound of soft footsteps come from the stairs:
"Albert, Maria whats with all the commotion. I heard a visitor had arrived a few minutes ago. Hasn't my father come down yet to see them?" a soft girl's voice came from the stairs.
Draven turn to see who I was and saw a young lady descending. She had short brown hair and she was very pretty.
"Lady Rina? Good evening." Maria answered.
"Lady Rina you won't believe this but this is-...." Draven stopped Albert.
Draven started walking up to the stairs. When Rina looked at Draven she couldn't help it but get intimidated by how extremely handsome he was.
"Uhmm excuse me but who are you?" Rina asked.
Draven looked directly at Rina:
"You've grown a lot bigger from the last time I saw you Rina. 10 years sure is along time huh" Draven said.
"Am sorry but I still don't know who you are"
"I can't believe you forgotten your dear cousin, how disappointing Rina."
Rina thought for a second:
' that long black hair reaching his shoulders, green eyes that look directly into someone's soul and that nonchalant attitude '
"Dravy? Is that really you" Rina asked.
Draven smirked:
"Took you long enough. It's been a long time Rina"
"Draven. You actually came back. Where did you go and why show up now?" Rina asked.
Draven paused after Rina asked. He climbed up the stairs and stood next to where Rina was:
"Am not under any obligation to answer your questions Rina. Just like It was 10 years ago and now is the same. I don't answer to anyone aside from master Syven, got it? Now if you'd excuse me, I have to go and see master Syven, he's waiting for me." Draven answered as he walked up the stairs.
Rina was left speechless. Never in her entire life had anyone ever been rude to her like Draven did. She turned around and just watched Draven walked away.
....
Draven reach master Syven's office and stopped. He knocked on the door and waited for a response.
"....Come in" master Syven responded.
Draven took a deep breath and entered. Draven was now face to face with man who caused him great suffering and pain during his childhood.
"Hello uncle, I've returned"
