"I said open the door now!"

I poke my head out of the window trying to check if they reached the ground safely but I could not see anything. The General keeps on knocking at the door every second and I don't know what to do at the moment. I look at Mhyco who's  sitting still without even blinking. His eyes are red because of crying and his  mind is completely in a haywire right now.

I heared the sound of metal and beeping of the door's passcode and right at that moment the door opened. Big guys with guns filled the room with the General behind, I hate this guy. I was not surprised that he's here with his cocky smile, what surprised me was the girl standing beside him. Isn't that...Cloud's fiance?

"Where is the woman from Isola and Lauren? "

The General said as he scan his eyes around the room.  I clenched my fist as I heard Lauren's name but I did my best to calm myself down or else it'll blow the whole cover up. 

"Who are you talking about? I've never seen a woman in this room since I came here."

I said looking as innocent as possible but also not missing out the plan to low-key insult Cloud's fiance.
She was not dumb not to know that I don't consider her as a woman or someone equal to Lauren. She glared at me like some Medusa in stories ready to petrify me.

"Stop lying, I heard her voice just a few minutes ago! I know she's here!"

She said as she walk around the room checking every corner and even the comfort room. I let out a sigh as I pinch the bridge of my nose.

"Then you must be hearing things."

Damn it! This girl is making things worse for us. I froze on my spot when she look at the open window. She rushed towards it and look at the emergency ladder.

"They freaking found their way out."

She said as she turn rowards the General.

"Sir the tracker. It's moving."

One of his men said as he showed him the hologram of the red dot moving away from us. He look at me one more time and it's intimidating me.

"Once I found out you're involve with this I swear you'll never get away with it.  Let's go men!  Move! "

He said leaving the room,  Cloud's fiance look at me from head to toe with her brows arched.

"What an old fashioned guy. "

She said before flipping her hair and leaving the room too,  following the General and his men. I immediately got my phone out and tried calling Lauren but she's not answering. If she get caught  this time she'll surely loss her ticket to the past.  I shut my eyes for a moment allowing my self to breathe because the situation keeps my heart beating like crazy.

I almost jumped on my spot when a pillow landed on my head. 

"Ow! "

I said while holding my head as I look at the person who threw it at me.  I was surprised when Mhyco got up and remove the needle on his hand making it bleed for a second.

"H-hey!  What are you doing? "

I immediately got the blanket and applied pressure on his bleeding hand.

"I won't allow him to take her away from me again. Let's go."

He said before rushing out of the room. I immediately grab my car keys and jacket then I followed Mhyco.

"Wear this. "

I toss the jacket to him and he quickly use it.  We use the side stairs where there are no nurses on duty and I feel really nervous right now because Mhyco looks so pale,  he'll  like pass out any minute.

When we reached the parking lot I tossed him the car keys and he immediately went inside the car.  I sat on the passenger's seat in silence as I buckle up.

"M-mhyco slow down! "

I said as my body began to stiffen because of his speed.  We took the aerial route and I swear he's scaring me!

"Visit the elite web now.  Send a private message to Hector and ask for a Maternus legal certificate."

I don't know who Hector was but I obediently followed his order.  I used my account but set it anonymously so they couldn't track it.  When I open my account I saw a mail from an unknown email with Mhyco's name and some Margaret Santos then I had a hint who it was.  It's  his mother. The information made it easier for me to deal with Hector.  He asked me the prize and I gave him a good one,  He sent me a file that is ready for printing.  My car is equiped with a printer,  it was easy printing it out.

"Mhyco,  here's the certificate but are you sure about this?  You might end up in class B society for good because of this. "

Since he's taking the full responsibility of his mother that also means he's dividing all his assets and it will surely decrease the star level of his social status.

We made a good landing and just a few steps ahead we can clearly see the General trying to get Cloud out of the car.  Mhyco took his seatbelt off and look at me with a smile.

"Wouldn't you do the same thing? "

He said,  I nod my head in response for it was the same words I heard from Lauren minutes ago.  Mhyco went out of the car and I followed him from behind with the certificate on my cold hands.  I'm doing my best to stop it from shaking because I'm honestly nervous right now. 

"Stop the drama General. "

Mhyco said as he approach them.  Cars behind started beeping their horns because of the traffic jam that we caused.  Lights from their guns started to point on us and I froze on my spot when a red small dot appeared on my chest.  One wrong move and we'll surely both end up in the morgue.

"You don't have business here young man.  Leave. "

I heard Mhyco chuckled which made me uncomfortable because I know it made the General really pissed off. 

"The woman inside this car is my mother.  Leave her alone. "

The General raise his brows as he took a step forward to face Mhyco.

"And you expect me to believe that? You expect me to follow orders from a child like you?"

Mhyco put his hands inside his pockets before looking up and exhaling creating a smoke out of his warm breath.  He looks so calm right now, like the presence of the General and even the guns around him doesn't  scare him at all.  He was so ready to fight for his mother. He was so ready to fight for the love he has been longing for so long,  no matter what it takes.

"No General,  I'm not expecting you to follow orders from a child like me.  But I do expect you to follow the proper order of the law."

I bit my lower lip as I listen to Mhyco.  We might get busted because of his words,  what law is he talking  abo---

"You're invading the privacy of the sick without doing a proper background check. That General is against the law. "

Where on Earth did he learn all this? 

"Do you have any document that would support your invasion in the hospital? You forcibly entered my room without my permission. "

Oof! I saw a visible vain on the General's forehead clearly cornered at the moment.

"Well young man do you also have any document that would support your mother crossing the borders?"

Mhyco extended his hand towards me and I immediately handed him the certificate.

"Here's the proof that I have the full liability of my mother and her crossing on the border was legal."

The General got the document and read it.  The date was two days ago and there's a visible signature and seal of a lawyer. 

"Call atty.  Giovanni  Parfe. "

Ordered the General to his assistant.  I could not breathe properly as the phone started ringing.

"Put it on loud speaker. "

Mhyco said clearly challenging the General. And to make things worse?  Media started gathering around us.

"Hello? This is the General speaking , is this atty.  Giovanni  Parfe? "

I bit my tongue while waiting for the response.

"Yes, speaking. "

Was she even informed that a certificate was made and signed using her name?  Oh boy,  I started sweating like a pig no matter how cold it is tonight.

"I would like to confirm a transaction of  Maternus legal certificate with Margaret Santos."

I hold my breath as I wait for the response.  We're doomed,  I swear we're going to end up behind ba---

"Yes,  it was a personal transaction done two days ago. It was already submitted to the higher court and approved by the state legalizing the stay of both individual in the class B society."

I exhaled in relief as I heard the confirmation. I was right about Mhyco's assets and him staying at Class B but it doesn't matter right now. The General ended the call and signaled his men to put their guns down. I also felt a relief when I could no longer see the red light on my chest.

"How am I suppose to believe that she's really your mother? "

The General said still trying to find errors. Mhyco pulled a strand of his hair and called Margaret out of the car, he explained things to her and she did the same thing. Mhyco is now holding two strands of hair with him.

"See for yourself then."

The General ordered his men to bring the DNA tester device and he immediately inserted the strands of hair given by Mhyco. Reporters flocked closer leaving very little space between us and the General while waiting for the result.

It'll only take half a minute to get the result and I saw how disappointed the General was when he saw the "DNA Matched" on the screen. Okay that's a game over for him,  but he didn't stopped right there.

"Review the security footage taken by the bots at the border. "

He ordered, one of his men whispered something but it's sure audible enough for us to hear.

"There was a system glitch that time sir and the virus erased all the footage taken on this day. "

I press my lips together as I tried to stop myself from smiling,  everything is falling on its proper place.  Cloud did a good job in hacking the system. 
The process was doing great until Cloud's fiance started talking.

"Open the car General, I swear I heard Lauren Lopez in the hospital earlier! "

Ugh! Everything was already sailing smoothly!

"You are not in the position to do that Jenia. "

Mhyco said, so he know who this sassy girl is.

"If you're not hiding anything why not open the car now Mhyco? "

She said challenging us to open the car.

"Open it then. "

Mhyco said which sent shivers down my spine,  I think I would faint any minute. Mhyco and Margaret step aside allowing Jenia to open the car door.  She raised her brows as she walked towards the car with her red fingernails visible on the car handle, we heard the clicking sound and I can't help but close my eyes as she pulled the door open.

"Where is Lauren, Jenia?"

Mhyco said with the sound of victory audible from his voice. Wait, what? I open my eyes and behold the car was empty! I almost clap my hands in amazement,  damn!  How did they do that?

"I---I swear I heard her voice! "

She said in disbelief as she walk around the car trying to find another hidden door.

"Here's a little favor I'll do for you tonight Jenia. "

Mhyco got his phone out and dialed Lauren's number.  There were three consecutive rings before Lauren finally answered it.

"Hey Mhyco,  how are you?"

She said behind the line, Mhyco inhaled deeply before speaking.

"I'm doing great Lauren thank you, a friend of mine here is wondering where you at right now? "

Jenia folded her arms across her chest as she impatiently wait for Lauren's answer.

"Who's that friend?  I'm at Conte Hotel right now with Cloud. "

The General turn his back towards us and started walking away finally accepting defeat but Jenia tried to stop him by holding his arm.

"General I swear I heard Lauren inside the hospital room. She's involved in all of this shit. "

The General slowly remove Jenia's hand on his arm before riding his car.

"My business is done here, you go check it for yourself. "

Some reporters still keep on filming everything and I can't help but wonder how did Cloud and Lauren escaped.  Jenia looks so mad as she clenched her fist.

"Fine!  I'll go check it out myself! "

She rode her car and slam the door close.  She's headed towards Conte Hotel. I look at the General once more and somehow I think he's trying to tell me that I'm lucky I got away this time. He left together with his army and I know I need to go see Lauren right now.

"Mhyco are you okay to drive this car? "

I said,  refering to Cloud's rented car.  Good thing is as they checked the plate number earlier it was registered under a car for rent company.  Mhyco gave me a nod before helping his mother get inside.

I got my car keys and head straight to my car.  We both took the aerial route to avoid traffic,  when we reached the parking lot of the Hotel we saw Jenia's car parked on a wrong spot.

The three of us head straight to the lobby and right there we saw Jenia getting hysterical as she tries to force the person in-charge to tell her what room Lauren is.

"Excuse me, we are expected guests of Cloud Madrigal could you please make a phone call directed to him. "

I said calmly and the lady just nod her head at me as she dialed the telephone. There was a short conversation on the telephone before the lady put it down and look at me with a smile.

"Sir he's waiting for you at room 905, a staff will be guiding you to his room. Thank you."

I nod my head in response, Mhyco and Margaret followed the staff and I look back to check Jenia who's still frowning and looking at the lady with grudge.

"Hey."

I said calling her attention.

"I thought you want to check it out yourse---"

I wasn't even finished talking but she already walked pass me and intentionally hitting my shoulder.  She's so rude,  even he'll won't accept her.

We were all quiet inside the elevator all I can hear are her knuckles cracking like she's trying to get ready for some cat fight.  The elevator popped open and she did not even wait for us to step out,  she immediately rushed towards the room's door and started pressing the buzzer non-stop until someone open the door.  It was Lauren wearing pajamas with a face mask. A chuckle escaped my mouth as I look at Lauren,  she's so good in acting she deserves an Oscar.  She looked at Jenia with a frown but then changed her expression when her eyes landed on us.

"Hey you guys!  Mhyco how are you? "

Mhyco was about to answer but Jenia stopped him with a snap of his finger and a hissing sound,  ooh she sounds so much like a snake.

"Cut the acting Lauren,  I know I heard fvcking things right.  You were at the hospital few minutes ago and you're behind all this shit! "

Lauren looked so calm as she removed her face mask off with Cloud finally joining the scene from behind with a messy hair. 

"Look Jenia,  I came to this place to relax.  I'm not here to entertain some made up assumptions,  you can go check the security camera of this place and you'll see that we never left the place since we got here. If you have nothing else to say please leave it's almost one in the morning,  goodness! "

An involuntary snort escaped my lips and Jenia gritted her teeth at me.  I mouthed oops before looking away. She turn to face Lauren again with her heavy breathing audible.

"Stop acting like you belong here Lauren and stop trying to level yourself with people who lives here in the mainland because you will never be an original you will always be labeled as fake,  and for the record?  You'll never be like me. "

That's harsh, Cloud looks pissed off.  He was about to interfere with the conversation but Lauren raised her right hand to signal Cloud to stop.

"Before you label me as fake why not try looking at a mirror?  Everything about you is fake either. Your nose is fake, your boobs and butt are also fake even your happiness is fake and you know what? The only true thing about you right now is that little pimple on your forehead and your shitty attitude and yes Jenia, I'll never be like you. Because I blow minds not dicks now get out of my sight before I rip off your fake lashes and punch your throat. "

Ooooh that was a solid burn! Cloud was smirking as he lean his head on the side frame of the door.

"You better leave,  she's a black belter in taekwondo back in her time. "

I said as I put my hands inside my pocket.  Jenia's face is already bright pink because of anger and I can even hear the gritting of her teeth, that's nasty.

"I'm not done with you Lauren! "

She said before marching away from us. When Jenia was no longer in sight Lauren held her chest as she relaxed.

"Goodness! I was too harsh on her!  I hope she's ok. "

She said with a worried look on her face. A smile form on my lips as I look at Lauren, she's such an angel.

"How did you guys escaped? "

I finally asked,  I'm just so curious. Cloud and Lauren exchanged glances before having a fist bump.  Owkay?

"We'll tell you the details, come inside. "

Lauren said as she step aside allowing  enough space for us to enter. I guess this will be another sleepless night for me.
