Hours later, after the storm had passed, Kalvin turned around asking Olivia to call Octagon Veranda. That's when he saw the sleeping beauty on the sofa. A mischievous smile crept across his face as he decided to playfully wake her up. He cleared his throat, desperate to annoy her like a high school kid.

"Olivia" He shouted aloud. Olivia was shocked by the sound. She jumped up in surprise.

"What? What?" She asked in surprise looking around and opening her blue eyes wider while sitting on the sofa. Kalvin hid the smile sneaking out of his mouth barely.

"You were very helpful the last few hours" he mocked her to hide the fact he was smiling. "Umm sorry, I guess I fell asleep. I didn't have left much to do here anyway." Olivia said standing up and yawning. Kalvin shook his head slightly to indicate that he disagreed.

"By the way why did you wake me up? Was it funny?" Olivia said looking at him frowning like an angry kid, with complaining in her eyes.

"I have much more important things to do than making fun of a privileged idiot" Kalvin said looking at the controlling panel again. Huh! Seriously Kalvin?

"I woke you up to call the Octagon Veranda" Kalvin continued. But he neither heard her answer nor footfalls. He looked at her wondered by the silence. He saw her lost in her own world biting her lips. Kalvin could realize what this is about. She's scared to encounter her mom. Pathetic Olivia!

"What's the matter with you? Your personal issues don't matter here. You're here to help, so do it right!" Kalvin snapped coldly, showing no mercy. Olivia walked to the communication system dreamingly. She pushed the buttons to connect with the Octagon Veranda thinking about the worst thing possible to happen. Kalvin kept a watchful eye on Olivia to make sure he don't miss the pleasure of Elsa and her daughter fighting against each other. As soon as she connected to the Octagon Veranda, she saw Elsa's face on the computer, uh bad luck!

"Olivia!" Elsa whispered glancing at Olivia's face like it was the first time her seeing own daughter. Elsa was shocked as much as Olivia to see each other in an unexpected moment. Olivia rolled her eyes in anger and turned to Kalvin. Kalvin was careful enough to turn away before Olivia can catch him staring.

"What do I need to ask?" Olivia asked roughly.

"We've passed the storm. I want to know whether the direction we are heading is correct?" He answered. That was when Olivia realized storm was passed. Yeah he was right. The ship wasn't shaking anymore.no thunder bursting .no more lightings. The storm was passed. Elsa looked at the computer trying to gather up her mind for the work. Olivia didn't bother to repeat the same question. Few moments later Elsa looked back at Olivia with answers.

"No need to change coordinates. Your direction is right She said looking back at Olivia.

"You heard her? Is that all?" Olivia asked from Kalvin in an unpleasant voice.

"Yup" Kalvin said briefly staring at control panel. But he didn't hesitate to look back at Olivia and Elsa as soon as he realized Olivia turned back to the computer. What a scene to miss!

"That's all" Olivia said roughly getting ready to push the button to end the call. Elsa hurried to speak.

"Olivia I'm sorry about that incident, I can explain, I didn't meant to hurt kids but I had no choice. I can appeal for a pardon for those kids of Turner if you can help me to find them" Elsa pleaded trying to convince Olivia that she's innocent.

"I'm done with confessions of murderer's" Olivia said calmly pushing the button to end the call. The computer went quiet and Olivia turned around grabbing her head with a pale face. She saw the paler face of Kalvin. 'What did he get pale of?' I bet that the first thing popped in your head. That's an interesting question. Olivia looked at Kalvin's brown eyes full of fear.
