Chapter 53

“Exeter has just returned from his conference at Morocco that time. Before he went home, he stopped by at their lab to meet with his boss. I was supposed to meet him at his house that same evening, but he never made it there. Next thing we knew was that the car where Doctor Yankhun and he were in was shot. They both died that day. According to the police that time, someone shot their car causing the driver – Doctor Yankhun – to lose control,” narrated Sun.

At the next slide, Sun sees Exeter’s profile and his picture smiling at him. It is more than enough for Sun’s emotion to get the best of him. This is the first time after a while that he saw Exeter, and too bad, it is only through a picture from a computer screen. Sun’s tears start streaming down from his eyes.

“Exeter Helman,” said Khan. “That is him? That was your boyfriend?” he continued.

“Kk...krap...P'Khan,” answered Sun. His voice is obviously breaking.
