"Just come with me," Jack replied.Ian moved in front while Lieutenant Jack walked behind him. They got to the front desk and Jack said a few words to the reception lady before she directed them where to go.They finally arrived at a big ward. There were different beds and patients on them. Almost all of the patients had chains on their hands and feet.There was a particular girl who had her back to Ian.Pointing at her, Jack said, "She's number two. Look at her, and tell me if she is the one."Ian began to approach the girl sitting on bed number two and his heart was racing. She still had her back to him, and she had midnight black hair, just like Kim.With his hands still cuffed, he walked slowly, until he got to where she was sitting.He touched one of her shoulders and she instantly turned.When he saw her face, his eyes widened in shock and tears rolled down his cheeks.He took a step back and exclaimed, "Kim!?"Related chapters
Never Say Goodbye PERFECT FOR HIM
FEW MONTHS EARLIERIan Thompson came out of his car and took long strides with his hands in his pockets, towards the house in front of him. When he got to the door, he took in a deep breath before knocking. The door was opened, and the face that came into his view was Wendy Jacksons'.Wendy smiled at him and said, "Hi, come in, Ian."The Thompsons and the Jacksons had been friends for years. Wendy was his friend, and they were both in their final year of high school, set to graduate in a few weeks.Ian's family was the wealthiest in the city of Evanston, a suburb of Chicago. Before he moved to the suburb, he attended the best high school in Chicago. However, with reasons best known only to him, his dad had him move all the way to the suburb just as he was excelling in his previous high school as the best in basketball.When he moved to Evanston and met Kimberly, everything changed. All the girls had eyes for him, but he only had eyes for her.She was the most amazing and sweetest pers

Ian sat on the couch, staring at Mr. and Mrs. Jackson as they came out. They were friendly towards him, and he knew they liked him.Why wouldn't they? His dad had helped them get a lot of money because they went into business together. Both of them sat down and waited for him to say what he wanted. After a while, he got up and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, I'm here because I need to ask for your consent to openly court one of your daughters.""Who are we talking about?" Albert Jackson asked."Well, it's Kim," Ian replied."Kim? That's interesting. I never knew you had an interest in Kim. I would have thought you were more interested in Wendy since you guys seemed to be so close," her dad said.Ian smiled, "Well, Wendy is sweet and she's my friend, but the one I love is Kim, and Wendy is already aware.""You're aware of it?" Albert asked Wendy. Wendy nodded, "Yes, I've known for a while.""Okay, that's cool," her mom replied. "So, you want to openly date Kim. Is that what you're sayi

As Kimberly fainted, Ian carried her in his arms and ran out of the school premises. He placed her in the backseat of his car, put her bicycle behind, and got into the driver's seat. He began driving to the hospital. On his way, he called Wendy and told her everything that happened, asking her to inform her parents that he was taking Kimberly to the hospital."Ian, please take her to my family's hospital," Wendy suggested. "My family doctor will be there to attend to her. I will be arriving soon with my parents.""Okay, I will do just that," Ian replied.He quickly took her to the hospital, and as Wendy had said, the family doctor promptly attended to her. Ian waited outside until Wendy and her parents eventually arrived."What happened?" they asked Ian."Well," Ian began. "We were at the rooftop of our school building, and afterward, we decided to go down. We ran down the stairs, and suddenly she became short of breath and eventually passed out. I don't know what is going on, and I'm

The next two months proved to be extremely difficult for Ian. He couldn't come to terms with the fact that he was going to lose Kim. However, Kim had accepted that she would die in two months, so she tried her best to be happy and make as many memories as she could during the time she had left. She became weaker by the day, though, so her mom kept suggesting that she undergo chemotherapy. However, she refused, stating that there was no point because a specialist, brought in by her dad to look into her case, had said the same thing as the first doctor.Moreover, due to how affected Ian was, his dad had arranged for her to be transferred to one of the best hospitals in Chicago. However, when she got there, she was told the same thing – she had leukemia and was going to die in two months.After learning all this, she believed there was no point in spending the remaining time in the hospital trying to get treatment that wouldn't change her condition. Instead, she decided to spend it with

The call was disconnected and Ian stared at his screen in surprise.He tried to call the number again, but he was told that the number did not exist. He kept trying again and again, but still, the number wouldn't go through. He began to move up and down the porch, thinking about everything that happened between him and Kim up until she died"What is going on? Am I imagining things?" he asked himself. He stood outside for a while and finally went inside. His father looked at the expression on his face and asked, "What is it, Ian? Are you okay?"He said, "Dad, I have this feeling that Kim is still alive." His father sighed, "No, don't do this to yourself, Ian. Weren't you there on the day she was buried? This is just your imagination playing tricks on you and making it difficult for you to move on. You need to forget about her, okay? I'm not saying you should not think about her sometimes, but come on, you have been mourning and crying. Life goes on, and as much as you feel very sa

Ian left the cemetery and went back home. He lay on his bed miserably, listening to his conversations with Kim, which he had recorded before she died. After a while, he got up and shook his head. "No, I can't just leave it at this. I must do something. I must meet this David Suarez, whoever he is. I should be able to find out why he called me and why his voice sounded like Kim. Kim if you are out there, I will find you."In the morning, when Ian woke up, his father said, "Hmm, you came back quite early. I didn't even hear you come in.""Yeah, the party turned out to be boring," he lied. "So I just left it.""I see. I guess it feels different since she's no longer here. It's been a while, though, since you went to basketball practice. Why don't you try it? I think it will do you a lot of good. Also, you'll be filling out your college forms a few months from now, so I think we should talk about it. Like.. what you intend to do or where you'd like to live.""Come on, Dad, I still have t

The next two days felt like two years for Ian. After the first twenty-four hours, when he couldn't bear it anymore, he left his room so he wouldn't die of boredom. All he kept doing was thinking about Kim. He decided to familiarize himself with the city of LA. It was his first time there, and he didn't know how long his mission was going to take. So, he got a tour guide to show him around.He spent the entire day, from morning till evening, moving around the city, learning about safe areas and places that were unsafe. When it was getting dark, he came back to his hotel room and slept off because he was tired. In the morning, he met with the private investigator called Bob. But this time, they met in a café, which was much better than where they had met before.The private investigator said, "I found the man you're looking for, David Suarez. I found him at a dangerous club downtown. At first, he refused to cooperate, so I had to use extreme measures. Apparently, he's not the one usin

While Ian was still staring at Sammy, he rushed towards him again to punch him a second time. But this time, Ian blocked him and punched him back. Helium became excited. He got up and began to clap. "Wow! I love this guy, I love this guy. Go on, Sammy, fight back." Sammy went again and punched Ian in his belly, and all the men left what they were doing and began to cheer.Helium kept watching. He moved away from his chair and was staring happily at the fight. When Sammy tried to punch Ian again, he held both his hands and kneed him in his groin. Sammy screamed in pain and bent down, clutching the bulge of his pants. However, Ian took advantage of this opportunity and hit him with his elbow on his back, causing Sammy to fall flat on his face. Everyone cheered for Ian while he stood erect and, tried to catch his breath."I like you, I like you very much!" Helium exclaimed. "You know what? I think you are good enough. As a matter of fact, you are ready because you have impressed me.

Never Say Goodbye A DREAM COME TRUE
Ian and Kim paced up anxiously."You both should relax," Ara said. "Come on, I feel everything will go according to plan.""I know," Ian said, "but I'm just worried. What if something happens to one of our parents? I mean, despite how much anger I feel toward the ones who have hurt us, I do not want anyone to get hurt.""I'm worried about the same thing too," Kim said. "I'll not be able to forgive myself if anything happens to either of them.""Relax, both of you. What will you gain by worrying? Are they not with law enforcement agents? Don't worry; everything will go according to plan." Ara reassured them."Okay, thank you," Ian replied.Jackson drove to an address that had been agreed upon. He stopped at the back of the house, came out, and went into the house. A guy and a girl came out, bending down and trying so hard to conceal their faces. They got into the back of the car while Jackson got in and began to drive. While he was driving away, men suddenly started to shoot at the tir
Never Say Goodbye WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?
Thompson and Jackson met after Beatrice had been arrested. Unfortunately, the police had not been able to get to Zayne so Thompson said to Jackson, "He may be already dead because even his number isn't going through. The only other option we have now is to reach Ian and Kim."But they're not taking our calls, thanks to you," Jackson replied."I know," Thompson said. "But if we can convince them that we have made progress, especially you, it might be different. I think Ian will listen to you more because he thinks I have betrayed him as his father. Try once again to get through to him. You can start by sending him a message and letting him know that Beatrice has been arrested, and the police are desperately searching for Helium. Helium will be caught soon. I've also made a deal; I've gathered some military men.""Military men?" Jackson asked. "Isn't that going overboard? You're only going to attract more attention.""No, I remembered what Ian said," Thompson explained. "He said he did
Never Say Goodbye WHERE IS HELIUM?
Jackson got up and stared at Wendy in surprise. "Do you know where your mother is?" he asked.She nodded. "Yes, I just spoke to her right now, and she gave me her location, asking me to meet her there. Dad, I know you're very upset with me right now, and you have every right to be. But you need to know the truth. Yes, I have always been in love with Ian, all thanks to Mom who planted the idea of being married to him in my mind. But I never knew she planned to do something so terrible to Kim. No matter how I treated Kim, she was still my sister. Mom told me she was sending her back to her family because she discovered where they were. But she wanted to make it look like Kim died, so Ian would be able to move on and love me. I went along with the plan because of my feelings for Ian, but I am so sorry that she was having an affair with Ian's father and associating with a criminal. I cannot be in support of that. Dad, I'll never betray you in such a way. Just as I love Mom, I love you
Never Say Goodbye WE CAN TRUST HER
Ian drove their car until they arrived at the location. Both he and Kim looked around and remarked that it was a quiet environment."You should wait here," Ian told her. "I will walk around and take note of the area. We're still one hour early, so we have the upper hand."Kim shook her head. "No, don't say that, Ian. We came here together and we are going to leave together. Let's just do everything at once."Ian shook his head, "It's too dangerous. You should wait here for me while I go out and survey the area.""And if something goes wrong, then what will happen? I won't be of any help to you." Kim told him."You will. This is the plan," Ian replied. "You're going to drive this car away from here and park it in a location that will not be easily noticeable. But from there, you should be able to see me from a distance. If anything is going wrong, I'll let you know, and you can pick me up. If we both go in, we will fall into a trap, if Zayne turns out to be our enemy."After thinking i
Never Say Goodbye I WILL PROTECT YOU
After a while, Jackson tried calling Ian again, but he wouldn't take his calls."Hold on, let me call the police chief," Thompson said, and put a call out to the police chief.He said to him, "I called earlier about the case concerning my son. Have you made any progress? As I said before, I want Helium captured at all costs.""Do not worry," the chief assured him. "I have put my best men on the job, and they are all searching for him. No matter what happens, he will be found. But right now, we all know that he's after your son and his girlfriend. It would be in their best interest if we were able to get their location. That way we can protect them before Helium gets to them.""Well, yes, that's a good idea. I'm still trying to reach them. Once I'm sure of their location, I'll let you know," Thompson replied. "But please, thoroughly search for Helium. No matter where he is, he should be fished out. If there's a need for me to support financially, I'm willing to do it to speed up the pr
Never Say Goodbye SHUT UP!
Jackson walked out of his room and stared at Wendy, who was in the living room crying. She hugged her body so tight, shivering, as she knew that they were all in big trouble. The more he stared at Wendy, the more he became filled with rage.In the end, he lost control of his temper and walked over to where she was, slapping her so hard on her cheek. She held her face in surprise and stared at him, "Dad, why?""You are a disappointment," he yelled. "I can't believe you.... you're really my daughter.""It was Mom's idea," she cried. "It was never my idea, Dad, I promise you. Yes, I've always loved Ian, but Mom put it in my head, she kept telling me I would get married to him and everything.....""Shut up! Shut your trap," he thundered. "You could have come to me. You cannot tell me you did not know that what you were doing was wrong. Why didn't you come to me? Why didn't you tell me anything? Was I not a good father to you? Was I not your friend? We were pretty close, why didn't you te
Never Say Goodbye HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Wendy's father, Jackson, was still in his office when one of his colleagues came up and sat beside him. Jackson, noticing his colleague's persistent stare, asked, "What's the problem? Are you okay?""I should be the one asking you," the man replied. "I mean, with everything that's going on, how are you coping?""What are you talking about?" Jackson asked his colleague."Hold on, let me show you," the colleague replied.He played the video Kim had made and showed it to Jackson. As he stared at the video and listened to what Kim was saying, Jackson's hands shivered. "This...this..cannot be," he stuttered. "Kim is dead. How... No, this is not possible. Is this some kind of joke? Is this real?""Come on," his colleague said. "Do I know anything about your family? I'm just showing you what I saw online because your wife's picture was also shared, and I know that's your daughter who supposedly died. Are you not hearing what she's saying? Maybe you should check on it using your phone; it's
Never Say Goodbye LET'S MEET
After Ian posted the videos of the recording he had made, he and Kim waited in the room to see the reaction it would get. In no time, people began sharing the videos—especially those who were friends with Ian and Kim on social media. Ian's attention was suddenly drawn to a message he had received from a man, and the message read:"My name is Zayne, I am a retired soldier. One of the girls killed by Helium in that video you posted is my sister. I've been looking for her for a long time, and I didn't know she was dead. I can't believe she died such a horrible death. Please let's meet; I need to find Helium and get justice for Kim and my sister. Just to put your mind at ease, I'm going to send you more information about me."Attached to the message were three videos, featuring the girl the man claimed was his sister and the man himself. In one video, they were dancing together; in another, they were at a wedding ceremony; and in the last, they were having breakfast together. The man also
Never Say Goodbye JUSTICE FOR KIM
Beatrice stepped out of the taxi and entered the compound. Upon reaching the door, she rang the bell. Helium, observing from inside, opened the door for her. As soon as she entered and the door closed, she raised her hand and slapped him. "How could you be so careless?" she yelled. Angered, he gripped her neck and flung her to the ground. She cried out in pain as her butt landed on the floor. He then walked toward her, picked her up, and carried her into his bedroom.He threw her on the bed, pulled down her pants, and had sex with her."It's been so long," Helium said, licking his finger when the passion was spent.She sighed, "Yes, it has been, but it's all in the past.""So tell me, why did you so badly want to meet me?" He asked.Beatrice began narrating everything that happened, including how Ian and Kim caught her in Ian's father's house."That's really bad. Where are they now?" Helium asked."They should still be in Evanston," she replied.He got up, gritting his teeth. "I wa
