"Where are you right now?"
"Well I'm at the A city airport at the moment."
Becky sat in the VIP lounge in a reserved manner, with her impaired-vision, as she bit her lip nervously.
Her entire world was crumbling around her as darkness engulfed everything. For the entire duration, her heart was anchored down with fear and hesitation, but the second her flight landed she was relieved and calmer. Now after hearing Brian's voice, all her concerns seemed to have vanished completely; she was now able to see the light in the end of the tunnel. "Brian, I miss you dearly and craving to see you again."
Brian's heart sank the moment he heard her breaking voice. As far as he could remember, Becky had never ever been so weak, vulnerable and sentimental in front of him. "Just wait in the airport. I'll come pick you up."
"Okay, sure." Becky replied,"I'll be waiting for you."
Brian then ended the call and walked right outside; Tony followed behind him.
They took the exclusive elevator down to the parking space, then drove right to the airport in haste.
As the night grew darker gradually, the weather began to change as well. But the stars shone brightly across the clear night sky, indicating a good weather tomorrow, in contrast to the snowy and hazy weather back when Becky had left.
From the rear-view mirror, Tony cast a glance at Brian, then went back to focusing of driving there fast. Now all his previous doubts and inhibitions had disappeared. No matter how special Molly's place in Brian's heart was, she could never replace Becky.
"Pull the car over now!"
Suddenly Brian's cold order came loud and clear from the back seat. And just like he demanded, Tony stopped the car abruptly. With a serious look, he glared at the car standing in their way.
And as Brian continued staring at the car parked across them without uttering a single word, Tony instinctively remained silent and calm as well. They just sat in the car and looked outside in complete silence.
"Mr. Brian Long, they seem to be quite patient." Tony suddenly broke the silent apprehensively.
With a stink eye at Tony, Brian slowly said,"It is quite a tricky and daunting task to deal with Howard. Today... Maybe he won't act at all."
"Well why not?" Tony frowned as he asked with growing curiosity. "Justin gave them the clear order. As soldiers, they are supposed to carry it out under any circumstance."
"Howard is no fool. He knows exactly what it is that he has to do." Then Brian turned his gaze to his phone intending to call Harrow and ask him to pick up Becky from the airport. But just after he unlocked the phone, he accidentally opened the photo album and saw the picture of their snowmen. In that moment, he was lost as he stared at the two cute snowmen, he even forgot what he was supposed to do next.
