Keanu gave Kyle a side glance, and shook his head, "I know that smile. You're up to something."

Kyle didn't answer at first, and just kept that ambiguous smile on his face.

"Just ..." Kyle began, looking at Kay and then around him as if he was staring into space.

Turning back to Keanu, he tilted his head at a slight angle, to hide his lips from the public view, Kyle said to Keanu, "I hope to impose on you a little bit later. Could you keep an eye on Kay and make sure she gets back safely after the movie?"

Keanu looked at him, noticing how he was keeping his voice low.

Kay turned to talk to Alexandra, stepping to the side to get closer to her but yet, at the same time, hid the view of Kyle and Keanu talking together. More specifically, she blocked out anyone who might be reading their lips.

They were in a position that could not be seen from afar as there were pillars about and there was no balcony to spy on them from above. Only those close by would be able to see them, and they would have to rely on lip reading to know what Kyle was talking about.

Kay knew that her Dad's men would be about and vigilant, and would not leave things to chance. Their plan did not necessarily need Keanu but it would definitely make it smoother.

"Just what are you up to?" Keanu asked Kyle in a whisper, his eyes straight ahead.

He suddenly felt like a real life John Wick, the way Kyle was acting.

"Nothing," Kyle said, "I'm just going to slip out before my father's men catch me."

Keanu looked at him with raised eyebrows, "You sure you're not Zenith right now?"

Kyle grinned, bringing up the drink to his lips as he said softly, "Oh, Zenith is hardly close enough but it'll do."

Keanu caught that and stared at Kyle for a bit before he just shook his head and took a gulp from his own drink.

There were some things better left unasked.

They put down their drinks the moment the doors to the cinema opened up, signaling that the show was about to begin.

Taking their partners by the hand, both of them walked in and led their ladies to their designated seats before heading to the stage.

Slowly, the stage was filled up with the cast members that were there, all on display as they smiled to the crowd. It was a straight forward event, without any fancy small sketch like how it had been done with Marvel's 'Thor Ragnarok' movie.

A simple speech to thank the audience and at the same time, showing off of crew members which allowed the public to take pictures of them. Once that was over, Kyle and Keanu headed down to their seats, where Kay and Alexandra were waiting for them.

Kyle had to admit.

Watching himself on screen was a bit weird.

Kay found the whole thing fascinating and was giving off the appropriate oohing and aahing with screams during intense moments. She held on tightly to Kyle's arm, occasionally shaking it in excitement.

Well, she is his Number 1 fan - Sarah didn't count.

After the movie was over, Kay had stars in her eyes, "That was so awesome!! It's such a pity it's your first and last movie."

Keanu, hearing this, nodded, "It truly is."

The after-event party was both glamorous and casual. It was basically a gathering of all the cast members and all those involved in the film, such as investors. So it was a social event where people could mingle.

Kyle was impressed that there were two of Patrick's men in here, which meant that they managed to secure the invitation to this exclusive event. He wondered idly what identity the two men were under.

Still, it was within his plans.

He stayed for a while, mingling and talking to other people, laughing and drinking non-alcoholic beverages while munching on some hors d'oeuvres that he picked up on the trays of passing servers.

Patrick watched his son from the of pin-hole button camera that was placed on his two men monitoring Kyle.

He was extremely happy right now, seeing his son right in front of him, oblivious to his surroundings and having fun.

'Soon, soon,' Patrick was gloating in his mind, 'Soon I'll have that stubborn son of mine, all tied up and ready to be flown back home.'

After the last fiasco, he wanted to be able to see what his men were seeing. He wanted to make sure that things go by smoothly and he wanted to be in control.

So even though he couldn't be there, at the very least, he could monitor everything closely.

"Don't lose him," instructed Patrick over the headset.

The two did not answer, and it was not needed.

Kyle was within their sights at all times, and only a few metres away from them.

When they saw Kyle whisper to his sister, and kiss her on the cheek, they paid more attention. They watched as he walked away, and they quickly followed him.

Patrick could clearly see Kyle's figure, in that light champagne shirt, walking in front. A server passed by them, carrying a tray of drinks, blocking the image of Kyle for a few seconds.

When he passed by, Kyle was a distance away, but still in sight.

They quickly ran after him, noting with glee that he was heading towards the bathroom. This time, they were not going to wait until the event was over.

As Kyle touched the door handle to the bathroom, the two that had been trailing him grabbed him by the shoulder. One for each shoulder.

"Hey, what gives?" he shouted.

Patrick cursed when he saw the young man turn.

It was not Kyle.
