"I see, okay, you can get back to what you were doing, " replied Cherry as she walked to the balcony.

Lily stood staring at Cherry's back as she walked away, unsure what to say. After a short time, she finally walked away and went back to her chores.

That evening Jackson got home while Cherry was watching a soap opera on TV, and Joe was playing quietly on the floor near her.

Jackson sat down next to Cherry, and smiling asked, "How was your day today?"

Cherry sat quietly and didn't answer.

"Bad!" out of the blue Joe shouted loudly, "The world is too small!"

Jackson was depressed and confused hearing his son's tone, and what he was saying. His confusion only deepened looking at Cherry's expression and watching her behavior.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Jackson demanded.

"We met..." Joe wanted to tell Daddy what happened at the mall. He knew his Mommy wouldn't tell Daddy though, and she would keep it all to herself, but as he started to explain what had happened, he was interrupted by Mommy.

"Joe!" Cherry said curtly, reprimanding her son. She gave Joe a sharp look and added, "Go wash up. Dad is home now, and it's time for dinner."

"What's going on?" asked John confused. He didn't know what was going on.

"You and all the members of your family have one week to move to Hong Kong, " Derek divulged. He could handle any unresolved affairs within a week when John was gone, and then he could report the completion of his mission to Jackson.

"Why are we moving to Hong Kong? What happened?" asked John in surprise. He wasn't prepared to go to Hong Kong.
