Page 91 of Signed, I'm Yours!
I stare at him, shoutingwhat the fuckwith my mind.
“Seojun!” he snaps, and I jump in my seat. But just when I think his good boy persona has expired, he smirks.
“Yes, I’m aware there have been personal…relations between you two, although, thankfully, Mr. Lewis has kept the details from me.
“I understand the reason forreaching outto us was because you believed we took your mother and brother?”
“I know you did!” I tell her with my most assured and villainous expression.
I may have been busy and distracted the last few days, but I haven’t forgotten what I’ve read about SPAM and its covert activities.
“We haven’t,” Jack mumbles.
“We may have,” April interjects, and I don’t know who to look at first. April, to express my shock and horror for finally admitting how evil SPAM is, or Jack, to give him my I-told-you-so pout?
I don’t get a chance to do either. Jack beats me to the punch.
“We may have? Since when do we abduct people?”
April turns to Jack and purses her lips.
“We don’t abduct people, Mr. Lewis. We take dangerous people off the streets.”
“And turn them in to the authorities.”
“Correct. Most of the time. Sometimes, other precautions might be necessary. Like top-secret prison facilities that may or may not be on the moon.”
“The moon?” I grimace. “My family is on the freaking moon?”
April clears her throat, although I’m unsure if it’s because she just slipped up and gave more information than she ought to have or to dismiss my accusations.
“Your family is not on the moon, Mr. Bae.”
“You killed them?”
For the first time, April breaks her tough exterior and rolls her eyes.
“He is insufferable, Mr. Lewis. How do you tolerate him?”
I turn to Jack, waiting for his answer, but he chuckles.
“I don’t find him intolerable at all.”
I bite the inside of my cheek before I smile or reach out to him and focus on April.
“What have you done with them?”
“Nothing, Mr. Bae. Your mother and brother have never been on our radar.”
“Lies.”
“Oh, I assure you. This is the truth.”
“Then what happened to them? Did the earth open up and swallow them?”
April pouts and shakes her head from side to side.
“It wouldn’t be the first time. Were they anywhere near Stony Swamp in Ottawa in 2006? What a tragedy. And we never caught that man.”
