he does not deserve them

"Here it is, this is what I was looking for"

Andrew Song said as he held up a small item that he had gotten from the box. Adam was a little confused at his grandfathers behavior however, as he took a closer look he noticed that the box was one that belonged to his uncle and one that his grandfather took everywhere.

"Grandfather please tell me what is going on, I have never seen you act like this before"

His grandfather stood up and showed him a picture. When Adam saw this his jaw nearly dropped to the floor. In the picture stood a couple one was his late uncle Johnathan Song and next to him holding onto his arm was women. for years Andrew and other members of the Song family had wondered who this women was and what was her relationship to Johnathan.

What shocked Adam was he knew who this women. His grandfather then put his hand on his shoulder.

"Earlier today while I was in the park I met a young girl who was crying , After cheering her up her mother came to find her. That women was the same one as in this picture, her name is.."

Before Andrew Song could finish his sentence Adam said one name.

"Elizabeth Wu?"

Adam reaction stunned his grandfather.

"how did you know her name?"

Adam then sat his grandfather down and decided to tell him everything about the Wu family, Michael and the Black Death.

After he was done explaining everything his grandfather crossed arms and closed his eyes, Adam could see that he is in deep thought. After a moment his grandfather opened his eyes and looked at Adam.

"Michael is right to quickly move against the Lu family, with them gone the Black Death will loose his foothold and if the Wu were seen as being very close to the Yang family he would have to be more cautious. Adam, I am giving you back complete control of the snow leopards, use them to fight any that may be a threat to you and Michael Yang. if you need any more help just let me know"

Hearing this Adam stood up and bowed to his grandfather and thanked him for his support.

"Also we need to meet with Michael and ask him to look into the relation ship you late uncle had with this Elizabeth Wu. Since he is familiar with them he may be able to find more information."

Brandon Chen got up and went into the bathroom of the motel he was staying at, as he flushed the toilet he looked in the mirror and was repulsed at what he saw. Just a few moths ago he was on top, he had everything. Money power and connections but now it was all gone. He grabbed the paper and looked at the classifieds to see if there were any job posting. He need money to pay for the motel and food, as he looked he found a wanted add for some day labor moving boxes for a company. he figured he could do that and it would be enough for some rice and another night. 

As Brandon was leaving the motel a van stopped in front of him and the door swung open, suddenly several men got out grabbed Brandon, tided him up and pulled him into the van. He could not even scream as they had gagged him. 

as the van drove off the man sitting in the passenger side seat dialed a number. 

"Sir we have him, we should arrive by this evening." 

the person on the other end sim ply replied with one word.

"good"

Later that evening the men dragged Brandon into a villa and through him on the floor. in front of him was a man sitting in a armchair drinking tea. as the man looked down at Brandon he smiled and put down his drink and stood up.

"it has been awhile Brandon, you look as though you have fallen on some hard times"

Brandon still bound and gagged looked up at the man and as he got a closer look his eyes widen. The man had ordered to have the rope removed and ungagged him. as Brandon was freed he just stayed there on all fours looking up at the man only able to mutter a few words. 

"You, how?"

The man laughed at Brandon response.

"now is that all you have to say to someone you once considered a friend."

Brandon began to cry and grabbed the mans leg.

"please, spare me, I know i did you wrong but don't kill me"

the man kicked his leg tossing Brandon across the room and into the wall.

"Brandon, Brandon i am not just going to kill you, that would be to quick and easy for you. i am going to take my time."

as he said this he waived his hand and in walk a person that caused Brandon to be even more shocked.

"Susan, why are you here, what is going on?"

Susan just laughed and then with a stern look

"Brandon you still don't get it, I was placed into you're life to drive a wedge between you and the Wu. I didn't even have to try that hard to get you to believe Lisa was you're daughter. I was supposed to drain you dry then my boss would finish you off, but do to Master Yang the plan had to change"

Hearing all of this made Brandon furious, he felt a wave of anger rising inside of him. soon it got to the point were he could not take it and charged at Susan. Just as he did the man had in one quick strike sent Brandon to the floor breaking his jaw.

" take him to the doc and have him healed up, but tell the doc no pain killers, he does not deserve them."
