The man in my car pushed me back to the ancestral hall, with his gun at the back of my head the whole way, and tossed me onto the dusty dirt ground in front of the bald man at the ancient Chinese desk the moment we got there.

When I looked up, with smarting knees and palms and fear running through every last one of my veins, I saw he was not as old as his voice suggested he would be, nor as calm. His face could be considered ugly, a little like an elderly weatherworn male lion’s, perhaps, with eyes that were cold yet dangerously sharp. He had an eye-catching scar that ran diagonally down the length of his face, from his forehead to his lower cheek; his skin looked sun-damaged and calloused; he also looked way larger and more muscular from the front than he had from the back.

Suddenly, I totally got why Angelo had been having difficulty looking him in the eye. I also developed a new veneration for Milla’s guts, even though she was, like Angelo and the rest of the men in black, standing behind me, staring down at me like I were a ghost or alien or some sort of horrific creature that made their skin crawl.

The bald man picked up the ID my office had given me—which he had on his desk along with my wallet, Discman and earphones—and stared hard at it with his hard, emotionless, lion eyes. “Sandra Sum, Hong Kong citizen, lives in Kowloon?” He lowered the ID, turned those eyes on me and smiled in a way that suggested he enjoyed seeing me on the floor, on my knees, looking up at him.

I dropped my head and kept my eyes away from his at once.

“And you like… The Backstreet Boys?” The bald man laughed. “Do you know what I love doing to the ears of eavesdroppers who like listening to The Backstreet Boys, Miss Sum.”

My entire body began to feel icy. “I was just passing through,” I said. “Just exploring the country. I didn’t expect to see you guys here.” I tried my best to meet his eyes but found I couldn’t do so for more than two seconds before needing to look away.

“So you’re saying it’s a coincidence you appeared right before our meeting and got ready to leave right after our meeting?”

I nodded because that was all I could do.

The bald man laughed again. He sounded to me like he were watching a comedy show all by himself with headphones, the jokes of which only he could hear. “Unfortunately, the punishment is the same, coincidence or not.” He turned to his men and said, in Cantonese, “Tony, chop off her ears. After that you and the boys can do whatever you want with her.”

“Got it, boss!” The long-haired man who had been translating for Milla stepped away from the horde of men in black and ran his eyes down my body.

“Please, don’t,” I whispered. I decided he wasn’t good-looking up close at all.
