Fight or Flee

Bang Kieu sat on the edge of his bed, polishing his gun. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't noticed his son standing by the door.

Beckham: Daddy, what you doin'?

Bang Kieu: Nothing Son. Just cleaning-Why are you up this late?

Beckham: Me dream bad.

Bang Kieu: Another one? (groans) What have you been watching lately...

Beckham: Bad boys! Bad boys! wa-chu-go-

Bang Kieu: Argh... now I'm gonna have to shoot Vu.

Beckham: Shoe?

Bang Kieu: Never mind son.

After tucking his child in and staying till Beckham felt safe to doze off, he walked back to his room and pulled out his gun. As he loaded the bullets in, he began to realize the danger he's putting his son in. And everyone else, too. Then Nguyen Hung's words began to replay in his mind "you've got to think about Beckham..." He knows what he must do yet he doesn't want to go through with it. After sitting there, thinking it over, he held up his cell phone and dialed the number.

Bang Kieu: Hello? It's me...Yes I'm still alive. Look, I know I haven't talked to you in a long time but I have to ask you for a favor...
-----------------------------------------

It was rather crowded at the airport, mostly tourist coming in to see the sights and the next upcoming events happening in the city. Bang Kieu sat next to his son while a bodyguard is in line to check in for them. Beckham crossed his arms and avoided contact with his dad.

Bang Kieu: Beckham...it's not gonna be that bad, son.

Beckham: (nose flaring)

Bang Kieu: It's safer this way....

Beckham: Daddy want Beckham leave friends back. No Auntie Tweet or Loey or Uncle Quangy.

Bodyguard: Sir, we are ready to board now.

Bang Kieu: Come on Beckham (offering his hand)

Beckham: Beckham walk lonely.

Bang Kieu let out a huge sigh, he didn't want this to happen but he knew that it's his only choice, how is he gonna protect his child and fight Jack at the same time? He helped the bodyguard with the luggage as they made their way down the terminal.

Bang Kieu: Do you think I made the right decision?

Bodyguard: Yes, sir. It's too dangerous here.

Bang Kieu: Yeah...Fight or flee right? (laughs)
