In a big city, there is a little girl sitting in a bench outside a big building... crying.
"Why is there a little girl in here? crying?" a tall man in a black suite, long lashes, serius eyes and an intimidating voice.
I shivered in fear then I looked at that man again and gasped
"Why is she crying more?" asked the man to his guard
"Sir maybe..."
"Maybe what?"
"Umm... (the guard hesitated)"
The man looked at hus guard again
"Maybe the little girl is... afraid of... you... sir..."
(silence...)
The man knelt in front of me and said "Where are your parents?"
I gasped...
As I got a better look on his face, all of a sudden, a picture popped-up in my mind.
I only remembered it because my mother's bestfriend - who now takes care of me - told me that the girl on the picture is my deceased mother and the guy is - she didn't said anything!
"Are you okay? is there something wrong? " said the man to me
|At the other side of the road|
"Where did little Lira go? If her mother knows this, I'm dead!"
"Lira!? Little Lira!? Where are you!!?"
Suddenly, she spotted Lira on the other side of the road talking to someone
"Is that Little Lira?" she thought
"Lira!!" waving her hand, she shouted.
"Auntie?" Lira said
"What is she saying?" the man asked
Lira suddenly got up then ran to road without thinking about the cars thats passing by
"Hey!! don't run!" the man held Lira's arms and said "Is she your auntie? just wait for her here"
"umm, yes... she is... my auntie"
"Auntie!!"
"Lira! are you okay?" she asked worriedly
"Why did you wander off like that? you could've got lost or had an accident!"
"This mister said that I should wait here for you" pointing at the man in black suit
"ohh, thank you very much for looking out for her...!"
"Ehhh!??" her auntie - Sarah - was shocked too see who the man is.
Sarah's face of amazament quickly turned into anger
"C'mmon Lira, we need to go now!" she turned away from the man
"ohh, okay..." Why did auntie reacted like that, I asked myself
"Wait...! Sarah!!" The man in black suit shouted
"Where is she?"
"Who?"
"I mean, where is Lira?"
"Me?" Lira shouted
"No... I mean, where is Vallery?" the man looked down expressing sorrow and regret
"Lira? you don't need to know...!" Sarah looked away trying to not show him her tears
"C'mmon Lira, we need to go now, we have a lot to do..." holding Lira's hands as the two of them walked away from him.
The man looked down then heard someone say
"Thank you Mister!! I hope I see you again!!" it was Lira waving her hand.
As the two of them walked away, the man saw a little girl smiling so bright, waving her hand, saying goodbye to him.
"Lira... Where are you?" he asked under his breath.
"What happened to boss?" one of the guard whispered to another
"Just treat it as nothing happened" his right hand man answered the other guard.
"Sir Calvin, we need to go to the board meeting now, the Chairman is looking for you" his right hand man informed.
"Okay" got back to his intimidating aura.
"I'll find you someday, my dear Vallery".
|Cliff-side Road|
(screech!!)
"W-wha... t's h-happening...!?"
A lady and a man was inside a red car, shivering in fear, desperately praying.
"W-what's happening? Sister, I... c-can't stop t-the car...!" a man shouted.
"That can't be!" both of them in fear.
"Sister, try calling the authourities to help us...!"
What's wrong with my phone? "It won't open, James!!"
"James, I just want my baby to be safe..." the girl begged
"Sister...it'll be alright... here, use my phone"
"Okay... !" a slight of hope in her eyes.
"Hello!? i-is this t-the police!? please~ s-save us! our car's b-bre-ak w-won't work...! please...please... save my baby!" a girl crying
James turned his head back to comfort his sister
"D-don't w... worry... sister... I promise! I'll do anything to keep you and your baby safe!"
"James!!"
It's already too late when Vallery saw a fast car approaching them.
(screech!! boom!)
|A reporter|
"... Two cars had a collision at 04:50 in the morning. A black car that is worth a million, sitting there was the eldest son of the Chairman of HUL Company and the red TFE car is still can't be found.
Earlier at 04:30 in the morning, it is reported that a lady called the police station to save them but the connection has been cut, it is still in investigation, if the girl who called the police earlier was the one in the red car. "
" Right now, HUL Chairman's son is in the HUL Hospital and the passengers of the red car are still missing."
"A rescue team had already been set to look for the two missing passengers of the red TFE car."
"This is HUL News and we'll be right back"
A reporter at the sight of the collision finished her report.
|Somewhere at the Bottom of the Cliff|
A car is burning rapidly that it can explode any time right now. There, was a lady trying to wake her brother.
"James... James...! P-plea-se... wake up!!" A lady holding her stomach "P-lease... Ja-mes, d-don't... l-leave... me.
A man is sitting at the driver' seat covered with blood and slowly loosing his conciousness.
" S... s-sis... ter... p-... plea...se...get...a-way now...!" James begging Vallery.
" No...! (sob) J-James... I-I won't...(sob) leave you"
|At some part of the Bottom of the Cliff|
"Team A Reascue Team has saw no signs of anyone in this part, over~" a rescuer reported
"Team B Rescue Team has saw no signs of anyone here but saw signs of something burning, over~"
"Invistigate it right away!" the commander ordered.
|The Investigation|
"Hello? Is there anyone in here!?" one of the rescuers asked
"Team B Rescue Team. Sir, we still haven't found any people nearby but we'll continue the investigation" the captain reported
|At the Burning Car|
"Help! Anyone!! Please~!... please save us...!"
A girl screaming, crying and begging to anyone who hears her.
"James!! please stay with me! we'll get out of here!!"
|At the Investigation|
(boom!!)
"Did you hear that!?"
"Follow the sound! Quickly!"
The panicked rescuers arrived at the scene but they found was a red burning car...
The red car errupted in flames as the two siblings scream for help.
"Pl-ea-se... somebody... h-help us..." Vallery said as her conciousness slowly fades
|Rescue Teams|
"Follow the explosion!!"
"Faster!!"
"Sir!! The car is raging in flames and nobody can get near it right now!!" one of the rescuer reported
"What!? Still, do everything you can! " The commander exclaimed
"Yes sir!"
"H-help... us...! "
"Did you hear that!?" the rescuer shouted
"Hello, anyone? please hang in there and we'll save you!"
"..."
"Sir, there is no one answering"
Vallery lost her hope as she stared at her brother covered in blood.
"J-ames..." as she reached out her hand to touch her brother's face, one last time.
|Reporter|
"This is HUL News and we just received a report that the red TFE car had been found but there are no signs of survivors. But it is most likely that none of them survived considering the height of the place they fell from. The police are still investigating the identities of the two passengers. "
(Boom!!)
" What is that?(shocked and scared) ... Right now, we just heard a loud sound of explosion!"
" Ms. Lare, we need to go back now! " the camera man told the reporter.
" This is HUL News and we will be right back! "
|Rescuers|
"Get away from the car!!"
(Boom!)
Thick black smoke and raging flames covered the car...
"Sir Yever! Don't go near the car! it's raging in flames!" the other rescuers warned
"Sir, there is no hope that any of the passengers
would still be alive"
"No! there is still hope!"
"Sir! you can't! they're already dead" the rescuers stopped their team leader
"No!! Vallery... James..."
The team leader of Rescuer Team B named Yever Boston is the father of James and Vallery
|Memories|
"My wife - their mother died after giving birth to both of them. Even though Vallery have her own life and James already have a wife... I tried to brought our family of three by working as a rescuers and did my best to send them to a good university, promising 'Dad, when we got a job, you don't need to work anymore and risk your life, me and James would do our best to help our family' , they both smiled so warm that it made me want to cry. Honey (crying), why do you have to get them so soon? "
|Rescue Team B|
" Sir, we can't do anything anymore, theyre already dead"
Yever teared up and knelt in front of the burning car, crying...
"This is HUL News and we finally got a report of the identities of the two passengers, they are named James and Vallery Boston - Siblings. According to the investigation, the both of them is supposed to go to the hospital but unfortunately, the break of their car is not working and had a car crash with the eldest son of the HUL Company's Chairman.

|Present|
"James! Vallery! where are you two going?"
When Yever suddenly woke up...
"Only in my dream I can see their faces again..."
