The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective
Chapter 100 - 100: The package
Erick's parents remained at the City X since there was some progress in Ma. Belle's case. They were supposed to leave today however Raymond got a call from the wife of Manuel, the security guard of Falcon's family.
He went to visit them at their house after the conversation.
"Mr Lee thank you for coming. Please sit down." Manuel's wife said as she welcomed Raymond and invited him inside the house.
" How have you been Mrs Mendell?" Raymond asked here.
" We are fine but we are still missing Manuel. Two days ago was their death anniversary." she said with her teary eyes.
"Yeah. That was also the reason why I am here. I also visited Falcon family's graveyard. Mrs Mendell I want to apologize for my incompetence. Until now, we haven't find the culprit." Raymond said, frustration could be heard in his voice.
" Don't blame yourself Mr. Lee. I know you have done your best. By the way Mr Lee this is the reason why I called you here ." Mrs Mendell said then she showed him the briefcase.
Raymond looked puzzled when he saw the briefcase. " What is this Mrs Mendell?" he asked her.
Mrs Mendell opened the briefcase and Raymond's eyes widened when he saw what was inside the briefcase. It contained money and cheques. He glanced back to Mrs Mendell with a questioning look.
"Someone delivered this package to me yesterday. I was also shocked when I found out what's inside the briefcase. At first, I thought the messenger had mistaken and delivered me a wrong one but I found this letter inside." Mrs Mendell gave him the letter. Raymond accepted it and he read it.
[ "Starting today we will collect their debts. Rest assured that those people responsible for their death will surely pay. We will get the justice that we deserve for our family who passed away." ]
[ Use this money Mrs Mendell and live well. Mr. Manuel is guiding your family in heaven. ]
Raymond was really puzzled right now. "Who send this?"
"I don't know." She said as she shook her head.
" Ma. Belle Elliese Falcon." Raymond blurted out.
Mrs Mendell looked at him confusedly when she heard Falcon's daughter. Raymond noticed her that she was confused when he mentioned Ma. Belle.
" Ma. Belle is alive." He said to her. Mrs Mendell gasped in surprise
" Is that true? Little Miss is alive?" She asked him again to confirm. He nodded.
" Oh, I am glad to hear that! Have you found her? Where is she? I want to see her." She smiled as she was happy to know that Falcon's daughter was alive. She was missing for so many years now.
" I didn't know where is she right now. I waited for her at her parents' graveyard. I thought she would come to visit them but she didn't come." Raymond said to her while feeling disappointed. Mrs Mendell was also saddened with his news.
" I suspect that she is behind this. She might be the one who sent you this." He said.
" Why?" She asked him.
" She is the only witness and she knows who are the culprits." he replied.
" Oh my God! Is she trying to get revenge against those people? It was dangerous. She should report it to the police authorities instead." Mrs Mendell commented.
Raymond became serious. " I am afraid she didn't want to do that. Because if she do, she should have already appeared long time ago and reveal what happened 16 years ago."
'Ma. Belle what are you planning? Are you putting the justice in your own hand? I have to find you sooner. I should stop you from doing that. Your parents would not like you to do that. Please be safe Ma. Belle.' Raymond thought to himself. Worries appeared on his face.

Meanwhile...at Erick's place, Erick and Elle just stayed at home for today. Erick didn't let Elle to call Charles. She was really curious nd wanted to find out what happened yesterday however she was being guarded by Erick.
They were both sitting in the living room. Elle was watching Television while Erick was reading book. In her mind, she was thinking how to make Erick leave the house. She stole glances at him from time to time.
As if he could sense her, Erick put down the book he was holding and he averted his gaze to Elle. He caught her looking at him.
"Are you enjoying the view?" Erick smiled at her mischievously.
Elle cleared her throat as she looked away and just feigned innocence.
" Yeah, the movie is good."
Erick let out soft chuckle. " Oh really?" he asked her while raising his brows. Elle just nodded to confirm.
Erick stood up and walked towards her. He satdown on the couch beside her.
" Erick are you not planning to buy some groceries today?"
"Nope. Mother and father just went to buy groceries before the left to City X."
"Aw!" Elle grunted. Erick turned to look at her. She was pressing her stomach.
" Hey, are you okay? What's wrong?" Erick asked her with so much concern in his voice.
" Erick can you go out and buy me some medicine for stomachache?" Elle requested him.
" I think it will be better to bring you at the hospital."
"NO! I don't need to go to the hospital. I will be fine if I take medicine." Elle objected.
" Okay. Wait for me. I'll come back after five minutes." Erick stood up to get his car key.
Elle smiled after that 'That's great, 5 minutes is enough for me to call Charles.'
Erick came back from his room with the car key in his hand. He was about to leave the house when he stopped and grabbed his phone. Elle's eyes widened when she saw him bringing his phone with him.
'Damn, he will just buy medicine in the nearby drugstore. Why he has to bring his phone? How am I suppose to call Charles?'
" Erick wait!" She called him.
Erick stopped on his track and turned to look at her. "Why?"
Elle wanted to ask him why he is bringing his phone however she thought that he might find out her motive if she asked him so in the end she changed her mind. Erick was still waiting for her reply.
'Haizt, forget it.' Elle told herself as she sighed deeply.
" Don't leave, just stay here with me. I think I am okay now. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore."
"Are you sure it doesn't hurt anymore?"
"Yeah!" Even if Erick leave, she couldn't still call Charles so she decided to let him stay.
Erick walked closer to her with a confused and concerned look.
"How do you feel right now? Tell me." Erick asked her softly.
Elle felt guilty to see Erick's face which was painted with worries and concerns. She bit her lower lip.
Erick was now sitting beside her, looking at her and waiting for her response.
"I think my head just hurts a little." These were the words she could tell him right now. Erick looked at her helplessly. He moved a certain distance away from her and he signalled her to lie her head on his lap. Elle looked at him confusedly.
"Come, lie here. I will massage you head so that I can ease your pain a little." He softly said to her.
Elle complied and she lay down on the couch, her head was on Erick's lap. Erick started to massage her head. He gently rubbed her temples. Elle closed her eyes.
"Mmmmm" Elle was enjoying his massage.
" Mmmm, It feels good. I didn't know you are also good at massaging." Elle commented.
Erick chuckled when he heard her comment.
" Thank you. By the way, my talent fee is a little bit high, can you afford it?" Erick said as he joked at her.
Elle frown "You profiteer! I thought this is free, you are the one who offer me your free service! You deceived me!"
Erick let out another chuckle. He continued to massage Elle but Elle opened her eyes and grabbed his hands.
"Why?" Erick asked her.
Elle just smiled at him and said
" How much is your talent fee? I think I can afford it now. I will have my salary next week."
"Hmmm, then just treat me a meal next week, just you and I." Erick said to her.
" Ok, deal! I will treat you in the most expensive restaurant in the City Z!"
Erick just laughed at her. He didn't ask her to treat him in an expensive restaurant. All he wanted to do was to be with her.
Elle let go of his hands and she closed her eyes again while smiling. Erick stared at the girl on his lap with his gentle eyes. He continued massaging her head.
After sometime, Erick spoke up again.
"Elle?" he was trying to confirm if she fell asleep or not.
" Hmmm?" she answered him. She seemed like she was about to fall asleep. Erick paused for a moment before he spoke again.
" Elle.... are you hiding something from me?" Erick asked her out of the blue.
Elle who was about to drift into sleep suddenly opened her eyes when she heard that unexpected question from him.
She met Erick's dark brown eyes which were staring at her very intensely.
He went to visit them at their house after the conversation.
"Mr Lee thank you for coming. Please sit down." Manuel's wife said as she welcomed Raymond and invited him inside the house.
