The Twin of the Cold Master

Like Kendrick?

After learning that Kenny and Kevin are looking for his Daddy in Los Angeles. Madam Brunet and Rita rush to the store, wanting to tell Ashley about her two runaway children.

Along the way, Madam Brunet and Rita worry about the twins. I hope both are not too far away and are doing well. Arriving at the store, Madam immediately approached Ashley while serving the visitors.

"Ashley, here's something I want to talk to you about." Madam Brunet patted Ashley's shoulder gently from behind.

Ashley looked. "Yes, madam, wait a minute, I have to record customer orders, ' he said, occasionally throwing a smile at shoppers who were looking at the food menu.

"Let Rita take your place." Madam Brunet glanced at Rita just arrived, after she finished changing out of the work clothes behind earlier.

"Yes, look, Ashley, I'll replace you." Rita looks at Ashley while giving her a code to follow Madam Brunet as she walks into the back room.

Ashley was confused, why the look on Rita and Madam Brunet's face looked worried about something.

"Well, I'll go there first, Rita."

Rita nodded.

Back Room of the Shop

"What's the matter, madam, the tumben once you asked me to talk? Oh yeah where are the twins they've been eating?"

Ashley stared in wonder, looking at Madam Brunet like she was hiding something. Immediately an uneasy feeling enveloped his heart.

"Madam," he called out as Madam Brunet was silent.

"Ashley, let's sit down first." Madam invites Ashley to sit by the window that shows the Mississippi river out there.

Ashley then sat in front of Madam Brunet.

"What's Madam?" she asked Ashley again as Madam Brunet turned her eyes out the window. I don't know why Ashley's feeling so bad.

Madam Brunet took a deep breath, then looked at Ashley. "Ashley, after you hear from me, I hope you and Rita go straight to Los Angeles."

"Huh?" Ashley gawked, increasingly confused by the direction of Madam Brunet's conversation. "What news, madam, why do I have to go back to the city I avoided the most?" tanyakanya.

"Actually this morning the twins ran away, Ashley, they went to LA looking for their Daddy," Madam said as she stroked the back of Ashley's hand at the table.

Ashley widened her eyes for a moment. "Don't joke, madam, weren't they at Rita's house last night." Trying to think positive but Madam's words just now can make her anxious.

Madam Brunet shook her head then started telling her what happened last night at Rita's house.

Ashley's breath was choked. His tongue was stiff, unable to say anything. Fear and anxiety mixed into one now. Hoping that what Madam said was just a lie but he could not deny his feelings is also getting more and more confused now.

"Madam, how's this, they're kids?" Ashley moved on later without much word out of the room. Madam Brunet was only able to sigh slowly, seeing Ashley's departure.

By afternoon. Madam Brunet, Ashley and Rita are at the pier. Madam Brunet told the two to catch up with the twins

"Madam, I'm sorry I always bother you, after I have a lot of money later, I'll replace it Madam" Ashley said.

Ashley recalls their transportation costs to go to Los Angeles were Madam's savings. He's so bad for always troubling Madam.

"But–"

"Here you go, pray that the twins will be fine, that you may find them, that you might as well get on the ship now, that your journey is still very far away, perhaps two or three days to come," cut Madam Brunet fast.

Ashley is very grateful to be reunited with Madam Brunet who is always considerate and kind like her late Mommy.

Finish talking for a moment and let go by hugging each other. Ashley and Rita board a ship bound for Mexico City.

After traveling for about three days and two nights, Ashley and Rita finally arrived in Los Angeles.

Ashley looked up, seeing the state of Los Angeles undergoing many changes. The events of seven years ago still imprint him. He inhaled a great deal of breath, neutralizing the erratic feeling that was running through the recesses of his heart at this moment.

"Wow! So cool! I've never been to LA." Rita turned her face, looking at the towering buildings along the way.

Ashley smiled blandly as she looked at Rita's sparkling eyes, admiring the City of Los Angeles. Yaps city is nicknamed the city of angels, where the center of the world of business, commerce, fashion, knowledge, and education. It is also one of the richest and most influential cities in the world. But behind this beautiful city, there are many gaping wounds in Ashley's heart.

"Rita, we're looking for the inn first for us to stay after that we go to the police station," Ashley said.

Rita nodded slowly.

Meanwhile, on the streets of downtown Los Angeles. A car stopped suddenly, avoiding two children who suddenly passed the highway.

"Ouch! OMG, it almost makes people's children become lempers!" peeking Reza from the car while moving her body with a trembling.

The thick-bodied man and wearing a white suit was worried. As fast as lightning he got out of the car then approached the two boys who had very similar faces, were crouching with his face down.

"Yuh, are you all right?" Reza saw one of the children holding onto his bloody foot.

"Kevin, are you okay?" Kenny looked at Kevin's nose grimacing in pain because he had just been hit by a slight hit on the front of the car.

Kevin nodded, saying he was fine but without excuse his tears flowed instantly on his cheeks.

Reza scratched his head for a moment when the two children were ignored.

"You people! Come with me to the hospital!" peek Reza to make Kenny and Kevin raise their heads up.

Reza's eyes widened when he saw a familiar face.

Looked like Kendrick, Romeo's brother.

His mind while observing Kenny and Kevin's face in turn.
