On my first day back home, I found my sixth-generation fighter engine blueprints in the trash, shredded to pieces. Emily Linwood, the fake heiress who'd taken my palce in the family for 23 years, took the last sheet and folded it into a paper crane to please Mom. "She won't be mad. These were just scribbled scraps, perfect for making paper cranes to bless Mom," Emily said. Mom smiled and patted her head, then looked at me coldly. "See how kind Emily is? Not like you, coming home with that sour face." "It's just a scrap of paper. Don't ruin a happy day. Apologize to Emily, now," Dad frowned. I stared at that paper crane. Those were S-Class confidential documents. Leaking even a scrap meant a life sentence in prison. What they didn't know was that black government sedans were already parked outside, waiting for me. I didn't lose my temper, picking up my phone to call the National Security Branch. Under their contemptuous stares, I spoke into the phone. "Mr. Lambert, the S-Class confidential files were deliberately destroyed by the Linwood family. This is suspected treason. It's time to move in," I said.
