THE PLAN

HYRUM was surprised to see Lei at his doorstep. Lei called him earlier, asking where he was. And now Lei found him at his private residence. 

"We just met this morning, Lei. What happened?" Hyrum looked behind him. "Where is Shi?"

"There is a slight change of plan."

"Interesting. Anyway, come in." Hyrum guided him to the living room. "Have a seat."

Lei sat on the couch. "Why are you alone? You should think about your security. The Wangs might be after your head."

Hyrum giggled. "They'll be dead before entering this village." He strolled to the kitchen and got two cans of beer from the refrigerator. He threw one at Lei when he returned to the living room. 

"Thanks." Lei caught the canned beer and opened it immediately. But he paused from drinking because he heard a loud growl. "What is that?"

Hyrum laughed. "I'm not alone here. I'm having fun with Bami and Shidi."
