"Wait. Our grandfather has a sister?" After listening to her brother's story, Lannie's mind is in a mess. She never had any clue that their grandfather has a sister, but then again, their grandfather never said anything. " This is such a surprise. What should I call her? Grandma aunty Shine or aunty grandma Shine?"
Hearing that last statement from his little sister, Kyle's lips twitched. Kyle expected her to ask a question that he can answer, but she instead asked a question that is not truly important. "Lannie, that question is not really relevant, and please don't you ever call our grandfather's sister either of those two, you hear me?" He felt that his sister just said something so weird and that he couldn't handle to hear it everything they are going to talk about their grandma Shine.
"What? Why am I not allowed to call her either of those?"
"You can call her anything you want, but not those. I'm pretty sure that grandfather wouldn't like it either." Sometimes, Kyle wonders how does his sister's mind work. She always comes up with some weird way to call someone; if she were to really call their grandma Shine, grandma aunty Shine or aunty grandma Shine, Kyle is pretty sure that their grandfather wouldn't like it.
With a pout on her face, Lannie replied, "If you say so, then fine."
Lannie glances at the old picture in her hand, and somehow in awe seeing the beauty of their grandma Shine. She is somehow disappointed that a beauty like Shine Robertson died at an early age; but what happened already happened. She can't do anything about it.
"Say, brother, you said that her death and her lover's death was plotted by someone right?" Kyle nodded at her, indicating that she heard him right. "But you also said that they pointed the gun at each other, then pulled the trigger. How is it possible that it was plotted by someone?"
No matter how much Lannie thinks about it, she could not understand how did that happen. The one who pulled the trigger was the both of them and killed each other by their own hands. In one close look, a person could tell that Shine Robertson and Martin Coleman decided to kill each other and that there is no third party involved.
"Even back then in our grandfather's young age, technology is quite impressive. But those impressive technologies can only be found in the underground organizations who have a lot of money."
"Are you saying that the technology you are talking about somehow controlled grandma Shine and her lover to kill each other?" Though Lannie is not sure what her brother is really saying. Since technology is involved in the case of her grandma Shine's death, Lannie can only think that her grandma Shine and Martin Coleman got controlled by this particular technology and made it look like they killed each other.
If that was the case, then the third party who is the real killer on that day is truly smart and scary. That third party planned is too well; he or she might be even planning to make the Coleman family and the Robertson family go attacking each other.
"Your statement is close, but it's not close enough to the real one," Kyle said as he inwardly sneered at the person who dared to mess with the two most powerful families for all these years. That third party must be having a great time watching both families suffering.
"Well, good enough. I'll take that as a compliment." Even though it might not sound like a compliment, but for Lannie, she'll take any nice responses from her brother like a compliment because her brother rarely says things like that. Even if she is his little sister, it's hard to get compliments and nice responses from Kyle. Mostly she gets sarcasm from her brother.
"Do you know what kind of technology is it? Do you also know who is the real culprit?" Lannie asked.
"I don't know who is the real culprit, and as for the technology, I don't know either, but I do have a single clue. Not very helpful if you asked me." The only clue that the video has given him is a symbol that Shine Robertson showed in the video. Somehow, Kyle thinks that Shine Robertson is playing with him. She is giving him riddle instead of a straight answer.
Looking at the symbol her brother showed to her, and was surprised to see it. "Are you sure that this is the symbol grandma Shine showed at the video?" Lannie asked she wanted to make sure that her brother made a mistake showing her this. But unfortunately for her, her brother only looks at her with seriousness, saying that he did not mistake, and this is the symbol that he saw.
"Why do you looked so surprised? Have you seen this symbol somewhere?"
"Yeah, the other day, Anna visited me in my class and asked me if I ever have seen this symbol, and I said no." Lannie felt that this is a sign that her brother and Anna are destined together because they both are searching for the same origin of the symbol.
'I should really stop watching and reading romantic genres. My brain is having too much imagination.' Lannie said inwardly as she turns her head around so that her brother won't see that she is smiling widely.
"That's a coincidence. Why is she searching for this too?" Kyle asked. Worry and fear suddenly raised inside him. This symbol is related to the real culprit and Anna is going after it, there is a big possibility that the real culprit is a very dangerous man.
