My father is a busy man who is often out working and rarely at home. Therefore, I see him only about once or twice a month. However, he always brings toys for me and my little sister as apology gifts, and my mother takes good care of us. I always play with my sister, so I haven’t been unhappy with this arrangement.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIEhq5RoWX

One day, my father suddenly came home and pulled out four train tickets, inviting us on a family trip! It was so unexpected, and we were leaving the next day! Luckily, tomorrow was the weekend, and there was no school, so we were all available!34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RFCC5ZiqX

We quickly packed our bags, especially my mother and sister, who were chattering excitedly about the itinerary since we had never gone on a family trip before. After packing, I had to work hard to get my sister to stop talking and go to bed early. While my mother was getting ready for bed, I quietly asked my father, "Is something special going on?" Since we rarely talked, I noticed he seemed startled when I approached, his body slightly trembling, though he answered nonchalantly, "It's a gift from above, telling me to relax. You should go to bed early too, since we have to wake up early tomorrow." "Above?" I nodded, not fully understanding, and he gently patted my back as if to push me back to my room.34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoYYLF9CBY

The next day was sunny, and we boarded the train to our destination without any problems. The journey was quite long, so we each bought a train lunchbox for brunch. Just as we started eating, my father's phone rang, and he left his seat to take the call. I was hungry, so I quickly finished my meal and went to the restroom. Fortunately, there was no line, so I hurried into the empty restroom, only to hear my father's voice! I was shocked because it was clear that this restroom was a single cubicle, and I was alone. What was going on? Soon, I realized that I was hearing his voice from the adjacent restroom, meaning he was in the next stall. But the soundproofing in these restrooms was terrible!34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxk5lwSzkf

Out of curiosity, I quietly listened to his conversation. In hindsight, I don't know whether to be thankful for the poor soundproofing or to wish I had never overheard the conversation, because I learned that my father was involved in drug trafficking! He was using this fake family trip as a cover for drug transactions and had been instructed to either assassinate me or cause my accidental death!34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5TJEVwz5y
