The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

At Dark Knight Headquarter...

"How is the result of your investigation? Did you find out who is responsible for sabotaging our negotiation with Mr. Chen? Is Skull gang involve with the surprise attack?" the man in his mid 40's spoke up to his henchman. He was one of the leaders of Dark Knight.

"Boss, it is negative. Skull gang had nothing to do with the attack." the man replied.

"Dark lord won't be happy with this report. We lost billions in that incident. Assign someone who is capable enough to solve this case. We need to find out who is our enemy! " 

"Noted Boss."

"How about Catseye. Any news about that assassin?"

"Catseye hides so well. We cannot trace her. Even Skull Gang already stopped finding her. However Boss, we just heard that Catseye killed someone. His name is Jefferson Gong, the owner of Gong Casino. He was found dead in the parking lot of his own Casino."

The man was put in deep thought after hearing the report regarding Catseye. He stayed silent for a moment and he stood up to get a whiskey and drank it.

"Continue following Skull Gang and monitor their movement. Assign another team for tracking Catseye. Dark lord will be visiting the headquarter and we need to ensure that no problem will arise during his visit. You can leave now." The man said as he ordered his henchman. 

"By the way, bring me a copy of the police report regarding Jefferson Gong's murder case." He added

When the henchman left, the man sat down with a complicated expression on his face.

"Jefferson Gong, my friend,  I didn't expect that you will become a victim of Catseye. I wonder, what is her motive by killing you?  Who did you offend this time that someone even hired a very skilled assassin like Catseye just to end your life?" he mumbled to himself.

At Falcon Cafe....

After Selena left, another unexpected visitor came. This time it was Bryan. Upon entering the Cafe, Bryan noticed Charles who had just served one of the customer's orders. Bryan walked towards him in order to greet him.

"Hey, Buddy!" Bryan called the attention of Charles. He turned around to the direction of that voice.

Charles'eyes widened when he saw the man who had just entered the Cafe. "Hey Bro! It's nice to see you here! Welcome to our Cafe." Charles greeted Bryan back with enthusiasm.

"Thank you, Bro." Bryan smiled at Charles.

"By the way, why are you here?" Charles asked him.

"I came from the field. I decided to visit your cafe since it was near and along the way." Bryan explained to him.

"Ah okay. Please sit down. I'll get you some drinks." Charles said before he left to prepare Bryan's drink

Elle noticed the presence of Bryan. She frowned when he saw him. "What is he doing here?" she asked Charles. 

"He came from the field. He drops by to see the Cafe. I told him last time that he can come here at any time." Charles replied to Elle as he was preparing for Bryan's drinks.

Bryan saw Elle looking at his direction so he smiled and waved at her. Elle smiled back and nodded at him.

Charles came back with the drinks. He sat down on the other side of the table, facing Bryan.

"What's wrong bro? You look so stressed and haggard." Charles asked Bryan as he noticed the dark circles under his eyes.

"Do I really look haggard?" Bryan asked him. Charles nodded vigorously. 

Elle raised her brows as she watched the two men acting so close while having their conversation.

'Hmm birds of the same feather flock together!' She thought to herself as she was laughing inside. Elle's lips curled up as she decided to join those two men with their serious conversation.

Elle sat down beside Charles. "Where is Erick? Why are you alone?" Elle asked Bryan.

"Chief is at the headquarter right now. I want to unwind for a while. Things are hectic in the office especially now that Catseye became active again with her killings."  Bryan replied as he sighed deeply.

Elle and Charles simply stared with each other upon hearing Catseye. Elle's lips twitched a little, trying to hold her smile. She decided to change the topic.

"How's April?" 

Charles and Elle noticed the changes in the expression of Bryan when April's name was mentioned.

"Oops. Did I say something wrong? You don't look, good Sergeant." Elle teased him.

"Actually, that girl is one of the reasons why Bro is looking so stressed right now." Charles was the one who answered Elle. Charles let out a soft chuckle.

'Bro? When did Charles and Bryan become bro? And how did Charles know about April?' Elle thought as she wondered.

Elle didn't know but Charles and Bryan became close during their last visit at Erick's place. That was the time that these two single men were ignored and fed by dog foods by her and Erick as they unknowingly acted so intimate in front of them. Charles and Bryan got to talk and bond with each other that day.

"April's was avoiding me after Rose's Birthday and until now," Bryan said to them truthfully.

He always kept this within himself for almost two weeks now. This time he was glad that Elle and Charles were there to listen to him. He felt comfortable sharing his problem with them.

"What did you do? Why is she avoiding you?" Elle asked him again.

"Because they slept together! Hahaha," It was Charles who answered.

Elle was dumbfounded when she heard it.

"How did it happen?" She asked Bryan again with disbelief.

"He was not able to control himself. The girl initiated the first move! She kissed him and they ended up sleeping together. Hahaha," Charles answered again. Bryan just stayed silent while feeling so depressed.

This time, Elle was not happy. She shot those two men sharp glare and she hit Charles in the head while she kicked Bryan on his leg under the table. The two men grunted in pain and turned to look at Elle who stared at them angrily.

The two men were just staring at her with a confused look unaware of the reason why Elle was looking at them like daggers.

"Charles I am not asking you! Why are you the one answering my questions? And why are you laughing? Is that funny?" she scolded him then she turned to Bryan.

"And you Bryan! How could you share that information with someone whom you just met? Are you the kind of guy who kisses and tells? Do you think if April learned about it, she will still talk to you?" Elle shook her head as she stared at him looking so disappointed.

The two men looked down as they felt so guilty. They were now being lectured by Elle.

"We are drinking at that time and having a good conversation. I didn't notice that I began to open up with him and accidentally told him what happened between me and April. Besides I really need someone whom I can talk to in order to vent and share my problem, it just so happened that Charles was there at that time. I went to visit Erick that day because I need someone to talk to however he was busy with you. How am I supposed to talk to him? Bryan justified his action.

'Is he saying that it was my fault that he was not able to talk with Erick?'

"Alright, We can't do anything about it. It was already done. So what are your plans?" Elle asked him.

"I want to court her but I don't know how to begin. She was avoiding me right now. What should I do? Elle what can you suggest. You are also a girl so you know what girl's like." Bryan said to them sounded so problematic.

Elle thought for a moment before she answered him.

Charles shook his head 'Oh Buddy, you ask the wrong person. She is not like an ordinary girl. She could not give you a good suggestion about wooing a girl.'

"Give her a flower! Girls like flowers!" Charles suggested.

"I don't think that is a good idea. That's is a very old and common strategy. If I am April, I will be turned off right away." Elle didn't agree on Charles'suggestion

Bryan was just looking at the two persons in front of him, waiting for their good suggestions.

"Give her a gift, a necklace, a bag or a teddy bear, or serenade her. Girls like gifts and they want to be serenade." Charles suggested again. Bryan nodded but Elle spoke up again to contradict Charles's suggestion.

"Can't you come up with a better suggestion? It's so common and so corny. No wonder you are still single Sir." 

'You didn't know but girls like my suggestions. Elle you just don't appreciate it because you are not a normal girl!'

"Then what can you suggest then?" Charles asked her as he was unhappy because Elle kept on opposing his suggestion. 

Bryan was just staring back and forth between Charles and Elle.

A sly smile appeared on Elle's face as she said "Just simple. Threaten her life!"

Bryan: "...."

Charles: "...."

Bryan and Charles were dumbstruck upon hearing her suggestion. They were speechless.

'I told you so Bro. You ask the wrong person. This girl in front of you is an assassin and she knows nothing at all about courting or anything concerning with normal girls!' Charles stared at Bryan while pitying him.

"What do you mean by that? Threaten what? Did I just hear it wrong?" this time Bryan spoke up.

"Send someone to attack her. Then you will come into the picture. You will appear at the right time and rescue her. Believe me, she will talk to you after that, especially if you will be hurt while protecting her. So what do you think of this suggestion?" Elle smiled at Bryan.

The two men became speechless once again. Elle really had a unique suggestion and the funny thing was both of them were convinced that her suggestion might really work.

'Whoah. Why I didn't think about it? Elle was really something.' Charles was feeling amused right now.

The two men were still thinking when Elle spoke up again.

"Do you need help? I have a plan." a playful smile appeared on her beautiful face.
