"Why should I go to one Felizy?" Eliot asked as the jet reached the airport.
"I have so many things to do when I leave this airport. I cannot leave you out there alone. I have a connection to one of the doomsday vaults in Africa. You will go with her and I will join you there." Alex explained.
"fine!" she stood up and went to Bill.
"Eliot! Where is your dad?" asked Bill.
"He's in there. Resting."
"the cars are here," Christianah announced.
"What are we going to do with this North guy?" Bill asked.
"If he has no home, I'm sure my dad will let him stay in one of his hotels."
Alex and the North Korean soldier entered the same car while Eliot entered a different one that headed towards another direction. Others were still packing one or two things from the jet.
The car started moving and out of excitement, the North Korean soldier looked out of the car window and saw a creature trying to get out of the jet engine.
"여기요! 여기요!! 그 사람들에게 거기에서 떠나라고 말하세요. 그 중 하나가 우리와 함께 제트기에 있었습니다. (hey! hey!! Tell those people to get away from there, one of those things was on the jet with us)".
"I don't understand a word, make it more clear please and by the way, I will invite one of my translators over when we get to the hotel," Alex said and the cars continued to drive with great speed.
Eliot got to Felizy's house quite late and she pressed on the buzzer twice. Felizy saw her on the screen and immediately went to change into her P.P.E. before leaving through the garage.
"Hey! Welcome Eliot!" she greeted warmly.
Eliot looked at her from head to toe and back to her face.
"anyways, do mind my P. P. E. It's for maximum protection against this unknown disease." Felizy said with a warm smile.
"surprised that a person can wear all these in her compound. Though my dad told me that there's maximum protection in Africa I wasn't expecting this. " Eliot said calmly and smiled.
"I understand and I am sorry to tell you that we will both be in the garage for a few minutes. Just to be sure that you are not infected."
"It's fine," Eliot said and the two ladies walked to the garage.
"Alex should have told you my name or some things about me. My name is Felizy... " she paused, smiled and gave the cup of coffee to Eliot "I leave here alone now, a psychologist and... Feel free to ask me anything..."
"thank you Felizy." she looked into her eyes and smiled.
"called Alex earlier to inform him that you are here and I guess he called you also."
"yes! He did" Eliot smiled and sipped her coffee.
"great! I didn't do any of my findings today and It's not good at all... I need to do it now and you can join me anytime" Felizy said and went for her laptop.
"Can you help me call my brother?" Eliot asked.
"you have a brother?" Felizy asked as she continued typing.
"he's a Frenchman, not on good terms with Mum and Dad. The last time he saw Mum was when he was 8. He refused to follow Dad to America and also stopped picking up my calls because I told him to visit Mum last year. but... I think he should know about Mum's death...." she sipped the coffee and dropped the cup gently.
"I'm sorry for that... You can use my phone... It's right there. No passcode." Felizy pointed to her phone on the table, right in from of Elliot.
Eliot took the phone, dialled her brother's number and put it on speaker.
"Lucas! It's me Eliot" She sounded so excited to hear his voice.
"I told you not to call again..." the voice sounded cold.
"wait... Please... Don't hang up... Mum is dead!" Elliot said, almost crying.
"she's your mum... You should mourn her... I had no business with her the very day she left me in Paris and went back to South Korea."
"it was hard for me too... But I just... I have to forgive her....parents are not heroes... They are just like us.... we make mistakes too." Elliot sobbed
"she let us... I go...Now.... I used to be mad but now I know it's for the best....the best for her....she is a selfish mother and I don't freaking care." he sounded cold but more angry.
"Lucas! There is chaos in Korea....mum turned right before me....it's traumatizing..... She struggled right in my presence... I was there when she turned into one of those awful creatures and when she came at me....." she cried and Felizy couldn't take her eyes off her. "I killed mum..... Lucas..... I...." she cried loudly and was shaking.
"Elliot! Are you there?" Lucas sounded unbelievably calm.
"I did what I had to do to survive... Even though I will never stop loving her...." she managed to say. "she did what she had to do because dad kept getting drunk and he always hit her after getting drunk... So she did what she had to do to survive..... Why are you so mean to her....she never stopped loving us before she died..." she screamed and Felizy almost jumped out of the chair.
"....even dad.... She never stopped loving dad..." she said calmly but still sobbing. "... Problems get in dad's way.... He was threatened.... his family was threatened... We were threatened... He couldn't tell Mum about it because he didn't want to scare her... He goes out alone... He thinks that alcohol will get it off because he usually feels so relieved....after that, he sees everyone as those threatening him and he starts to..... Just a situation that is beyond us all." she cried.
"I didn't know about....." Lucas said but was interrupted by Elliot.
"you cannot... Because you give nobody the chance to tell you how things are going... Mum saw you last when you were right... She was talking about you before she was attacked. Every day, she cried because of you... How cruel can you be?.... Uhn....saint Lucas.... How?... You even joined Dad's enemy in plotting against him... Lucas! You are just 18 but you are doing things that are done by 65-year-old men.... aren't you ashamed? " she looked pale and angry.
"I'm sorry Elliot! I...." Lucas apologized but Elliot interrupted again.
"Sorry my ass," she said angrily and ended the call.
Felizy went to meet the crying Elliot, it took her no stress to calm her as a psychologist.
"I couldn't check the news due to the ongoing conversation. You owe me by checking it with me." Felizy said jokingly.
"you are more of a researcher" Elliot laughed.
The two ladies both sat close to the laptop and Felizy was scrolling while they were both reading the news. All of a sudden, Elliot screamed and Felizy quickly glanced at the headline attached with a horrorful photo. 'CHAOS IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.'
