- I Am Their Father
+25 BONUS
When Frank and Kara arrived at the harbor, dozens of police cars caught their attention. Kara suddenly felt a little relieved. She thought the twins had been saved.
“Where are my children, Sir?” Kara asked the nearest police officer.
The young man in uniform looked confused. He was only assigned to stand guard at the front, without knowing what was happening behind
him.
Just then, a man with a badge hanging from his waist came over. Mr. Harper, you have arrived?” His eyes widened considering that the Savior headquarters wasn’t that close.
“Yeah,” Frank glanced back.
Seeing the hyper car parked there, the officer immediately
understood. It’s one of the fastest cars on earth.

“Okay,” the man in the black jacket sighed before returning his gaze to Kara, “I’m Carlos, the detective in charge of investigating this case.”
Kara greeted him with shaking hands. “So … how are my children, Sir?”~
Carlos opened an arm, gesturing for Frank and Kara to follow his steps. “Thanks to Mr. Harper’s report, we’re able to uncover a case of child trafficking. They are scheduled to be sent by that ship.”
Kara turned to the large ship at the side of the dock. There were lots of containers there. She couldn’t imagine if the twins were locked up in one of those giant boxes.
“We have ambushed the criminals. However, one person managed to escape with his car.” The detective lowered his gaze, showing the tire tracks on the ground in front of them.

“Is he the one who kidnapped my children?” Kara sighed with her withered eyes forced to be round.
Carlos pursed his lips. With a flat look, he nodded.
Kara’s tears gathered again. Her hopes were in danger of being dashed. “Then what about my children?”
Carlos approached his colleague who was holding a box. “This is some of the evidence we managed to collect.”
He took out a plastic bag containing a handkerchief. In an instant, Kara snatched it away. “This belongs to my daughter. Where is she?”
Frank’s eyes widened. His breath hitched. It was the handkerchief Emily had used to clean the chocolate stain.
Instead of answering, the detective took another object out of the -a lemon plush covered in dirt.
“This is my daughter’s too!”
Frank’s heart stung. He felt an unusual pain in his chest.
‘Emily is really Kara’s daughter? Is she also my daughter? She has the same eye color as me. Is it true that Emily and Louis are my children?’
“Where are they?” Frank sighed spontaneously.
Carlos blinked expressionlessly. “We’ve secured dozens of children from the ship. Unfortunately, none of them are twins.”
Kara sighed in disbelief. Her feet subconsciously moved backwards.” Did the kidnapper take them?
“No,” Carlos said before taking a short breath. “There were witnesses who saw two children running out of the car. A group of people then spread out to look for them. The kidnapper ran away without taking anyone.”
“They’re still here?” Frank concluded with furrowed brows.

While carrying Yemon in her arms, Kara started walking and checking in all directions. “Little Bee, Mommy is here. You don’t need to hide anymore. Come here! Little Bee?”
Unfortunately, no cute voice answered. People who heard Kara’s screams just stared with heartache.
Frank’s jaw throbbed. He couldn’t accept it if he had to lose his children. He didn’t even know them yet.
After snorting, he checked his phone, hoping to find some clues. It turned out that Kara’s cell phone GPS point was very close to them.
‘They should be here, but where?’
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the plush Kara was holding. ‘Could
they hid the phone inside?’
“Kara,” Frank approached the secretary. He snatched the plush looked for its secret pocket.
Apparently, there were wrinkles on the top of Yemon’s head. The plush resembled a round bag covered in thick foam. However, instead of finding a phone inside, he got a round piece of yellow cloth that was torn in the middle.
“What’s this?” Frank furrowed his brows.
Kara took the mysterious piece. After stroking it, she sighed faintly,” This is a patch on my daughter’s clothes.”
Frank immediately remembered the flower-shaped pattern on Emily’s shirt. The petals are red, while the middle is yellow, just like the cloth in Kara’s hand:
“Is that a secret message?” Frank muttered, frowning.

Kara looked at him with the same expression. “What message?”
While thinking, Frank called Kara’s phone. The number was active, but no one answered.
‘The phone should be with them, but why aren’t they picking up the phone?’
Suddenly, Frank turned around. “Mr. Carlos, where did you find this plush?”
The detective pointed his finger. “In the corner over there. We’ve checked and also scanned the entire area, but haven’t found them.”
Frank’s eyes narrowed. There were two stacks of yellow containers and a ladder nearby. “Are they up there?” he mumbled.
“We’ve already searced, Sir. They’re not there.”
While Kara’s brows furrowed deeper, Frank examined the surroundings more closely. A moment later, his gaze locked on the giant forklift near them.
“Why is the fork still at the top?” Frank muttered softly.
“When we arrived here, we immediately stopped all cargo operations. Apparently, the operator had not had time to lower the fork.”
Frank took a few steps back and looked up. The top container near it was yellow, just like the pile near the stairs.
“Bring another forklift here. I want to check up there.”
The detective’s eyebrows rose to the maximum. The CEO pointed at the highest container!
“That’s seven stacks of containers, Sir. How could a toddler get up there?”
“Now!”

Frank’s voice was so firm and loud. The detective did not dare to argue. He immediately ordered several people to bring the requested
vehicle.
“You don’t need to do it yourself, Mister Harper. It’s too dangerous. Our personnel can check it,” Carlos said as the forklift arrived.
However, the CEO was not afraid. Once the baseboard was confirmed
to be secure, he stepped onto it.
“I am coming along.” Kara was about to go up, but was blocked by
the detective.
“Please pay attention to your safety, Miss Martin.”
“Mr. Carlos is right. You wait here. I’ll be back with the kids.” Frank spoke as if it were his children too.
The vehicle began to raise its fork. Not wanting to be left behin jumped onto the board.
“Miss Martin?” Carlos stared wide eyed.
Luckily, Frank was quite alert. His arms were fast enough to catch
Kara’s waist.
There was no distance between them now. However, no one intended to start a conversation. Kara was busy whispering prayers that her children would be safe, while Frank was busy mentally preparing himself if he actually met the twins.
Should he just run over and hug them? Kneel to apologize for all his sins as an irresponsible father? Or was it better for him to act as if he didn’t understand anything?
‘It seems the last choice is the wisest. Kara and the twins definitely need time to accept me. I can’t be careless.’
However, when he arrived at the top, Frank no longer could breathe.
