Hong Kong

End of the first part

The surveillance command was in low activity, the surveillance cameras showed the quiet images of the corridors, dining rooms, cells... all normal.

The guards noticed a smell...very soft...pleasant...buttery...yes...buttery.

The smell was getting thicker...one of the guards gave a snore.

-- Hey...you...you...are...sleeping...doooo?' asked one of the guards with a loud yawn.

One of the cells opened...and out of it a sleepy Rai Chai peeked out and looked up and down the corridor.

Over the loudspeaker, Melissa's voice said...

-- To your left...go down three floors...then cross to the right...it would be very good if you did it quickly....

10 minutes later Rai was in front of the one who twisted his destiny in all shapes and colors; and despite the fact that his life was a checkered one; he couldn't stop loving Melissa.

-- It looks like he has pernicious anemia," whispered Ken.

-- All the boys are this pale now...It's so cute...Ye Ye said with a smile as she watched the couple's tight embrace.

-- They're going to kiss," said Ken seeing how they both looked at each other.

-- Yes...so cute.

-- They are going to kill us if we stay here...This is not the time to see movie romances.

AKAME'S TIME.

Akame woke up with moans of pain and groaned.

-- I'm cold...I'm cold....

Qiang woke up and the traffic on the highway leading to New Kowlow showed him where he was.

-- Akame... Don't open your eyes yet... Wait... let me explain...

-- Are we dead already? Now can you love me? -- She asked, trying to stand up.

-- We have to cross the avenue... I have to know at what specific moment we are...

Hours later in Po fuk hill cemetery; Akame, totally stunned and terrified, saw the city, the cars had her in a state of shock; she didn't dare to see anything, clinging to Qiang's arm, she was struggling with everything.

-- Are we in hell?" she dared to ask.

-- This is called Hong Kong, the land of Thomas, Mei To and Kathy.

-- Always the lies and deceit. You know perfectly well that Kathy can't be from this time...

-- There is a terrible epidemic. We must be vaccinated.

-- For heaven's sake. What's that?

--Well... It's all about money here. And there's no such thing as privileges... I have to buy you clothes, and various arrangements.

-- But... why are we here?...

-- You jumped... There in the corner of the palace is a portal. To return we must go to another portal.

-- I want to go back to the palace now.

-- We must wait a few days. The human body can't bear to go through twice so often.

-- How do you know that?

-- I've come here before. It was a coincidence.

-- I know why. Remorse wouldn't let you...
