"Cut!"

The director said and stood up pushing the headphones back and hanging them around his neck.

"I proudly announce now that it's a wrap. Congratulations everyone. Thank you for your hard work!" The director said and clapped.

Cheers and claps could be heard from everyone. But the main actor excused himself and left without a word.

On seeing that the main actor had left, the co-actor stood up and clapped getting everyone's attention.

"Attention everyone, please. I have a very important announcement to make. It is related to our main actor, Wu Xie. So I had to wait till he left." He said and everyone gathered around him and took a seat.

"Cheng Yi, what's the matter? What happened to Wu Xie?" The director asked and Cheng Yi took a deep breath before saying....

"Wu Xie he, some of his family members were in an accident this morning, badly injured and taken into ICU and... somebody even died." Cheng Yi words were like a cold slap in everyone's face.

Silence fell in the room and nobody uttered a word. All were speechless and shocked. The director walked up to Cheng Yi and asked.

"Cheng Yi, if I find out that this is a false news, I will drop you from the series and get another actor in your place. You get it?" He warned and Cheng Yi clicked his tongue.

"Why would I lie about it? He threatened me not to tell this to anyone. I happened to over hear him in the washroom this morning and he saw me unfortunately. That is why I held myself back till now. Now that he's left, if I tell you all, and you tell him, I don't mind, because now it's all over the news. See." Cheng Yi said and passed his phone to the director.

Everybody quickly checked their phones and gasps could be heard. Soon the place was flooded with reporters and press asking for Wu Xie. But Wu Xie was very sharp and he knew if he left a second late, he would be trapped.

"I didn't lie to anyone." Cheng Yi said and the director patted his shoulder.

"Director, director," a young girl in her early 20s came running.

"Mengmeng, why are you running? How many times do I have to tell you people not to run on the set." The director scolded the girl, but she waved her hand and said,

"Director, police are here asking for Wu Xie, and the reporters are out too. There's a big crowd out. It's being said that Wu Xie he..." and Mengmeng stopped.

"Director, there's a news update and it says Wu Xie might be involved in a murder and currently is a suspect." Said one of the staff and everyone went still again with wide eyes.

"What do we do, Director?" Cheng Yi and Mengmeng both asked at the same time.

The director scratched his forehead wondering what exactly was happening. He opened his mouth to say something but gulped back the words when he saw the Cheif of Violent Crimes Department, Zhang Qiling stand in front of him.

"Director Ding, long time no see. How are you? And where is your actor?" Zhang Qiling asked but he seemed a bit confused, so he turned to his assistant, Fatty.

"Fatty, what's that guy's name again?" And Fatty replied, "Wu Xie, his name is Wu Xie, Xiao Ge." And as if struck with a 1000 bolt electricity, Zhang Qiling went into shock.

He held his head and started groaning. Fatty saw this and immediately held Xiao Ge's hand.

"Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge, what happened? Somebody get some water please. I have told you to eat food on time. Now see, you're low on glucose again." Fatty faked his words and laugh.

Fatty had been with Xiao Ge ever since he had remembered his past and right now he knew exactly what was happening. It wasn't a normal headache or low glucose. It was Xiao Ge's memories coming back one by one. And everytime any memory was unlocked, they would experience a terrible headache like feeling. But they would be all okay in an instant.

Fatty passed the water to Xiao Ge and then looked at Director Ding who looked worried.

"Director Ding, where is Wu Xie?" He asked and Cheng Yi raised his hand.

"Hi, my name is Cheng Yi and this morning, I heard Wu Xie speak to someone on call. It seemed like someone on call said that his family members were in an accident badly injured and one even died. He threatened me not to tell anyone. And as soon as the director yelled 'cut' for the last scene, he quietly left." And Fatty turned to the other officers.

"No need to talk. We know what to do. We will go the hospital. And some of us will check the footage for car number. Fatty, you take Boss back to the station. We will keep you updated on anything we find." Said one of the officers and all left except for one who was driving Fatty and Xiao Ge's car.

Once in car, Zhang Qiling looked at Fatty and said, "Fatty, I remember him. I remember Wu Xie, he was and is my only connection to this world, my soulmate, my love." Amd Fatty smiled back.

"And the soul of our group, the Iron Triangle." Zhang Qiling nodded.

Zhang Qiling rolled the window down and let the air hit his face. He closed his eyes, threw his head back on the seat and said,

"Wu Xie, wait for me!"
