Chapter 7 SETTING: Many many hours later...in HK Ice[yarns after they announced that the plane will be landing in 20 minutes]: What life time is this? [just woke up] Yuen: Bing Jai, you're finally awake. Ice: How long have I been sleeping? Yuen: Umm, about, somewhat, 15 hours. Ice: What, why didn't you wake me up? Ow... Yuen: What's wrong? Ice: Bathroom. [She rushes to go to the bathroom] Sum: Ba Ba, when are you waking up? [shakes his arm] Edan[eyes widen]: What? Huh? Oh, we're here? Sum: I don't know. Yuen[pops up again]: Yes, we are landing [checks his watch] in 15 minutes. Edan: Sum, you sit here and play with this gor gor. Ba Ba has to go to the bathroom. Sum: Ok. [Edan takes off] Yuen: What's your name? Sum: My name is Wong Hoi Sum. Yuen: Hoi Sum! That is good. I am Lum Yuen. How young are you? Sum: ?? Yuen: When do you eat your birthday cake? [sees Ice coming back.] My mom is back. Ice: Chatting with this little girl? [looks at Sum] You are very cute. Sum: Jah Jah, you are very pretty too. Ice[the flattering made Ice smile intensively]: Sweet talker we have here. Jah Jah will give you candy then. [searches in her backpack.] Here, I only have chocolate though. [hands her a box of Andes chocolate] Don't eat it all otherwise all your teeths will come off. Sum: Ba Ba always eats this. Ice: Oh really, then share it with your Ba Ba, ok! [Sum nods, Ice goes back to her seat] Yuen: I have to make a stop to the bathroom too. Ice: You don't need me right? Yuen: NO! [leaves...on the way bumps into Edan] Sorry. Edan: Oh it's you. Becareful. [noticed that Yuen dropped a picture. Looking at the picture...](I've seem this person before. I wonder...) Kid, you dropped your picture. Yuen[turns back]: Oh, thank you Shuk Shuk. Bing Jah is going to kill me if I lose Ba Ba's picture. Thanks again. [goes to the bathroom] [Minutes later, the plane has landed and everyone is getting off.] Edan[seeing Sum eating]: Sum, who gave you the chocolate? [Edan was busy talking to Sum. Ice walked passed them heading to the bathrooms] Sum: Jah Jah gave it to me. [She points to Ice's seat.] Edan: Oh. [surprised that it was his favorite brand.] Well, we have to get off now. Jah Jah is not in her seat, we'll write her a thank you note, ok?! Sum: OK. [Outside of the bathroom.] Ice: Yuen? What are you doing in there? We have to off now. Yuen: Ma, my tummy is hurting. Ice(he hardly ever calls me anything close to mother, he must be in great pain...): I have Mydos(?)...wait it's for cramps. Nevermind. Let me come in. Yuen: NO. Ice: Don't be embarrassed. I'm your mother. Yuen: I am a man, I can take care of things. Ice[gets a bit pissed]: No 8 year old call themselves a man. You're no where near. [bangs on the door] Yuen: It's 8 1/2. And you call yourself my mother? Ice: Don't mess with my mind kid. SETTING: NY...in the girls house.... Rain: Jah, how long do you think he's going to stay out there? It's going to be a cold night. Jaye: It's really hard for him. He just found Suet and now he lost her again. Rain: Poor guy. It might snow tonight too. Jaye: Let's just leave him along. [outside...Joe is sitting quietly on the bench, staring into the dark skies.] Joe: Before we had eight wonderful years together but this time, it was less then two months. Where are you? [sanked his head into his hands.]
[Not for long, slow falls of snowflakes filled the area, leaving a white
color coat over everything.]
SETTING: Unknown.... Seung[walking away after her mission] Lui[sudden approaches Seung in front] Seung[shuttles backwards, getting ready to fight] Lui: Are you reasonsible for Suet's disappearance? Seung: Lui? [smiles and looks away] You seldom come to me and this is your reason? For Wan Suet? [shakes her head] Should have known. Lui: Is it true? Seung[lightly laughs, turns another direction and began walking] Lui[held on to her arm]: Answer me. [raises his voice] This wasn't even bosses order. What do you think you are doing? Seung[flings his hands off, gets upset]: For every issue, every situation, everything is for Wan Suet. What about me? Lui: Their is no more you and I. We are still friends and nothing more than that. Seung[sobers and faces Lui]: Why? What did I ever do wrong? The last thing I knew, you just completely neglected me. Lui: Come on, Seung. Let's not do this again. We are not meant to be together. Seung: You're lying. I know. It's Wan Suet isn't it? Lui: Don't drag her into the issue. Seung: I can see it in your eyes. Lui: No. What you can't see is the wall built in between us? I am no one to judge, we are both the same but the fact that you carry the bloodest hands due to innocents, I cannot live by that. Seung: What are you talking about? You are a killer too. Lui: No, there is a difference. You will accept any offer to kill anyone. Seung: I can change. Lui: No, I don't want you to differ yourself for me. Seung: What do you want me to do? [pleading voice] Lui: Please, just tell me if you have Suet or not. Seung[revealing burning eyes] Wan Suet, Wan Suet, alway Wan Suet. Well you can just dream on. Lui: Don't make me.... Seung: Is that a threat? You are even considering to kill me? I DEAR you. [looks straight in the eye at Lui. exposes her gun and jammed it on Lui's hand] KILL ME. Lui[pushes her away]: You are crazy. But I warn you, if I find out that you are really behind all this...you won't be getting away. [runs off]
Seung[shouts]: Wan Lui, don't leave.
Ice: Hey Hey, take off your shoes. Yuen[hears a bedroom door opening...]: Ma Ma!(grandmother) [runs over to hug her] Ice: Mother. Yue[shook her head]: Yuen, got to your room. I bought you some toys while you were away. Yuen: Wow, thank you Ma Ma. Yue[Waits till Yuen leaves the area]:... Ice: Mother, we can't hid from that kid. He'll know. Yue: Still, it's better that the problems of the adults don't interfere him. Have you found Suet yet? Ice: Yes, I really found her in NYC. I have Sean watching over her. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet her and tell her our existence. Yue[signs]: She is my lifetime regret. SETTING: next day...early in the morning... Yuen: Ma Ma, good morning. Yue: Good morning. Come, I made breakfast. Yuen[looks around]: Where's Bing Jah? Yue: Where.... Yuen: Oh, nevermind. She must be at the cemetry. SETTING: XYZ Cemetry... Pit[bending in front of a tombstone]: Gina, don't worry. I'm getting closer and closer to your avenge. Ice[few rows down, sitting aside a tombstone...]: Thinking back, I haven't visited you near to a year. [cleaning and swepting dirt away with her hands] Our son resembles you more and more as he grows. You know this? [holds up her ring] I almost lost it again. Sorry for being clumsy. Pit[stands up and walks down after noticing Ice]:.... Ice: Next time I will bring Yuen to see you. Pit[feels strange]: Deci? Ice[stops and turns her head around]:.... Pit: Deci, it's really you. Ice[stands up too]:... Pit: What are you doing in HK? Where were looking all over for you. Ice: What happened to Suet? What's going on? Pit[confused]: Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand. Ice: Look, [signs] I'm not Deci. Pit[??]:....What do you mean? Who are you then? Ice(he seems truthworthy): I am her twin sister. Pit: Hold it, twin sisters? When did that ever happened? Ice: She doesn't know about me. I know you are confused now. There's no time, tell me what happened? SETTING: at Ice's apt... Ice: Yuen, I'm home. Sean[already sitting on the sofa]: Bing. Ice: Sean, what are you doing here? Sean: I..I.. Ice: You lost track of my sister. Sean: Yes, how did you know? Ice: nevermind that. Who told you to come back to HK? Sean: I thought I had to report it. Ice: There's a thing called...telephones and even electronic mail... Sean[goes over and holds Ice by her waist]: why do you constantely treat me so coldly? Ice[trying to get lose]: put you hands off me. [gets relaesed and heads to her room] Sean: What if I'm here to tell you about Dylan?...
