Chapter 118 - He’ll Not Reach Japan.
Bradon and Johan were informed about Ryan's unit being involved in a fight with two girls who were the Heffleys.
"I will make sure to punish him, we can't let him get involved with the Heffleys' business," Johan was standing in front of Brandon. They were inside a small cabin.
Brandon took his time before replying. He was thinking that something's special about Ryan, how he manages to get himself involved in every big thing.
The attack, the huge battle, Ryan was involved. In the incident with Sienna the werewolf, Ryan was involved. And now, beating up a Heffley, Ryan is involved.
'Is this what fate wants or is this what Ryan wants?' Brandon wondered.
"No. I will deal with him myself," Brandon told Johan, the color of Johan's face started fading. He knew what it meant to be dealt with by the Head general.
"N- no, general, why would you bother yourself that much? He's my student, I will make sure to strictly punish him."
Brandon glared at Johan, "I will talk to him. For now, give him a chance, and leave him. I will try to get him out of the Heffleys business,"
That made Johan feel relieved but he still was not sure if Brandon had forgiven Ryan or not.
"Okay. Okay, general." Johan walked away with a final salute.
Ryan was on the ground floor now, he got his bags which were taken to the 'Lost and Collect' section.
There were many small things like wallets, bottles, tickets, pens, etc. but no one had their two big bags waiting for someone to collect them.
I mean, bags are not something you lose every day, right? He collected his bags. The check-in for his flight had started. Only a few students were standing in the queue.
Ryan decided to join them as he had no one to talk to and nothing to do. The teachers there were telling students how to check-in, how to find their seats, and many other rules about traveling on a flight.
Few students, who were traveling in a plane for the first time were listening carefully. They were the first ones to board the flight.
"It will take us eleven hours to reach Japan. It will be a 14-hour long flight." Ryan heard an instructor instructing students about the flight timings.
"You all will be getting a break of one hour in between three hours intervals. The flight will land at specific airports for a break. You can use that time to get food supplies, buy something, etc.
"After every three hours, you will be getting one hour to come out of the plane. Please be sure to get back in time so that you won't miss your flight. That is it for now. Please be sure to board the flight carefully."

Mrs. Heffley was really worried about her daughter, she could not help but miss her flight to meet her daughter. She was standing in front of Erin in the hospital.
"Have you talked with father yet?" Erin asked.
"No." she looked at Erin, "I haven't." she moved her gaze at Tim who was sitting near his sister who was hurt badly.
Sofy still had not healed fully. Some parts of her body were still paralyzed. Doctors could check on her every twenty minutes. She was told to rest in bed and speak nothing.
"When will you tell him about Sofy?"
"Not any time soon." she turned to Erin again, "How do you think he will react when he knows we have wasted his flight's money? Not only that, he will shout at me for letting you two girls wander alone. I can't handle this much tension."
"....I will do it then," Erin said, "I will tell him about this then"
Mrs. Heffley kept staring at Erin without saying anything for a while, "Fine. do whatever you want." she said and turned around.
Erin went out of the room and took out her mobile, she selected her father's contact and pressed the call button.
"Hello,"
"Yeh, father, it is me, Erin. I have something important-"
"Why are you calling me? Are not you in the airplane?" Erin hesitated to answer his father's straightforward question.
"Y- yeah.. no- we are not. I mean-"
"You are not on the plane?! Where are you then?!" his voice raised.
"Father.. I have something important to tell you,"
"What can be more important than the fact you missed your flight?!"
"Finn! Edward!" she raised her voice a little.
"Don't raise your voice," he told her in an angry voice, "What do you mean by Finn and Edward are important than your flight?"
"Sofy's lying on a bed in a hospital,"
"Huh? So even Sofy missed her flight? What are you thinking?!"
"Father, she's injured badly. Her whole body is paralyzed, there's voltage flowing through her body."
"Whatever, where is your mother?"
"She is beside us."
"Give her the phone. I shall teach her a lesson for missing the flight." Erin didn't move, "Give her the phone right now!" she still didn't move.
'How can you do this, Father? It's your daughter who's lying on the bed and all you care about is your flight money?'
"Hello? Hello? Give her the mobile, because of you even Tim is in danger now! You women are so useless!" he continued with his scolding.
Erin held the mobile in her mobile tightly. She was not able to hear her father sprout such toxic things, 'You are victim blaming!' she thought.
"Father.. listen to me, please"
"No, I will speak, you will listen. Give the phone to your mother," Erin lifted her eyes to look at her mother.
She was sitting beside Sofy, "The one who did this to Sofy was the same person behind my brothers. And I know who it was."
He stopped talking. Those words managed to get his attention.
"Tell me more," A smile spread over Erin's face.
She started telling her father everything about Ryan. his name, his appearance, where he was going, with whom he was going. Everything.
"Are you sure this is the person who did this to my boys?" Erin grit her teeth.
"Yes. I am sure, father. He is the one," Erin confirmed.
"Okay. I will make sure to kill him.. He will not reach Japan," they hung up the call.
