Lianne and Joseph stared at the woman who was being hugged intimately by two handsome guys and blinked rapidly.
"Country Tz is much more open than Country M," Kay explained, while trying hard not to laugh.
Seeing how happy the twins were, and how indignant the expression on Beatrice's face was - yet, she did not push them away - said a lot.
"The lady really looks like she likes them," Lianne said, "How lucky."
Now it was Kay's turn to blink and look down at Lianne, who was watching the entire scene with interest. Like she was studying the whole thing.
Kay turned to look at Joseph, who seemed interested but shy at the same time. It was as if he wanted to continue watching, but was embarrassed yet could not look away. Kay thought that was so cute and resisted the urge to pinch his cheeks.
Even though he didn't have those pinchable baby cheeks and his jawline was quite well defined. She pursed her lips, thinking that once this Joseph grew up, he was going to be quite a looker.
Not in Kyle's standards, of course.
"KAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!" came an excited squeal, causing Beatrice to finally shake off the happy twins that were rubbing their cheeks on her.
(A/N: Yes, cheeks. I know you dear Readers are rather *cough cough* minded)
"That's Kyle's BFF," Kay explained, "Xing Han."
Xing Han bounced over, followed by the prim Beatrice and grinning twins, "Oh gosh, oh gosh. Joseph! Lianne! I'm Xing Han!! Nice to meet you!!"
He shook their hands excitedly and went into full bullet-mode, his excitement too intense that he couldn't hold it in.
"How was the trip? Was it good? Was that your first time in first class? It was cool, right? Right? Oh, you're really going to love it here in Country Tz. I can show you everywhere and bring you anywhere. Any good friend of Kyle, is a good friend of mine. I will make sure that you'll have fun fun fun. I'm sorry about your mother, by the way. I cannot imagine how it must feel like .."
Kay put her hand on Xing Han's shoulder, saying softly with a laugh, "Enough. Slow down. Their heads must be spinning."
Xing Han stopped suddenly, rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and said, "Sorry. I was just too excited."
"Joseph, Lianne, this is Beatrice who is my PA while the twins there are Xing Han's bodyguards, Yuri and Zack."
"Your PA has twins for boyfriends? Cool," Lianne breathed as she looked at the twins with stars in their eyes.
Immediately, Yuri and Zack smiled, nodding, "You have a good eye."
"They are NOT my boyfriends," Beatrice denied.
"Yet," Zack replied, "We're in the running."
Zack gave Lianne a wink and said, "She's playing hard to get, but we'll get her sooner or later."
Lianne put up a fist and said, "Fighting! Good luck!"
Yuri and Zack looked at each other and imitated her gesture, then bumped their fist on her little one.
Beatrice's eye twitched.

"They've arrived safely at Country Tz," Kyle told Sayuri as they sat in the living room.
"Your telepathic communication with Kay is so convenient," Sayuri mused, "Instant connection and cannot be hacked."
"I know, right?" Kyle remarked as he flipped through the files for the umpteenth time. All over the living room, various files were about and it contained sparse information about Xavier and Donnie.
"This is not enough," Kyle said frustratedly, "Donnie is too much a person in the shadows while Xavier's public image is too strong. He has hidden himself well."
Sayuri rubbed his back to comfort him, "We'll get him. Sooner or later, they'll make a mistake and we'll get him."
Kyle gnashed his teeth, "If I had known it was this guy from the start, I could have been monitoring him from ages ago. Before he got into power. Before any of this started. As it is, we can't afford to make any mistakes."
Sayuri smiled, liking the fact that Kyle had said 'we'.
"We won't," Sayuri assured him, "I mean, we'll do our best not to. Overconfidence can be a killer as well."
Kyle sighed, leaning back on the sofa and closed his eyes as he went through various scenario and plans-of-action.
"The first step is obviously seeing what they have planned for Stephan," Kyle said, his eyes still closed.
"It's obvious that they're setting him up for something. Why would they make him their runner when they have many other people who can do so? Because they trust him? Can control him? Hardly."
"Yes, now that the kids are out, they don't have real threatening power yet they are still pressing on him to go and do so," Sayuri agreed, leaning back on the sofa and observing Kyle, "They are still using that 'we can get them when they come back' sort of thing."
"If they do something to Stephan, the kids would naturally come back," Kyle surmised, "Which means that they'll be a target the moment they do. I don't think it's as simple as just using them to threaten Stephan. It's most likely one part but I wouldn't be surprised if they're going to sell them off."
Kyle gritted his teeth at that.
The files on the child trafficking were horrible and it wasn't just young kids that were taken. Lianne was at the 'right' age for some and would most likely be a toy while Joseph, with his rather delicate features, would be a popular 'item' as well.
Of course, Kyle could be biased when judging his kids' looks, but he didn't think so.
"You need to relax, Kyle," Sayuri said, patting his chest, "Strong emotions are a hindrance to thinking straight."
"I know that," Kyle growled, "What do you think I'm trying to do here?"
Sayuri smiled, and ran her hands down to his crotch, stroking it and whispered, "I can help."
