The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Three days after Bryan visited Elle and Charles at Falcon Cafe, now he was back with his decision. After contemplating for three days, Bryan finally decided to agree with Elle's suggestion.

The three of them were sitting in a corner table of the Cafe.

"So can you tell me how we will do this plan?" Bryan asked Elle.

"Do you know someone who can pretend to threaten her life?" Elle asked him also

Bryan shook his head. April was also familiar with some of his friends. They also had common friends.

"Hmm, I can help you! I also know someone who can help me do it. She is good at martial arts." Charles suggested. He was referring to Elle.

"Really? Do you think she will agree?" Bryan asked him feeling doubtful.

"No worries, she needs extra income so I think she will agree as long as the price is right," Charles assured him.

"How much fee is needed here?" Bryan asked him again.

"One million I guess. Hahaha," Charles proudly said. Bryan's eyes widened after hearing the amount. Elle shot Charles a warning look.

"Hehe, I am just kidding buddy. Don't worry about the payment. I will shoulder it for you." Charles said while smiling sheepishly. 

"April is also a good fighter do you think she can handle her? And I don't want April to be hurt." Bryan said with so much concern.

"I think Boss Charles can help you. His friend will be standby and Charles will do the act since he is also good at fighting." Elle pushed the responsibility to Charles.

"Really? I did not know you are also good at fighting. That's great!" Bryan praised him.

"Hehe, I trained in a martial arts training center for self-defense." Charles smiled awkwardly.

"So what's the plan?" Bryan asked them.

"First Rule, Charles and his friend should hide their identity. If anything does not go well, April will surely put you in prison or else Bryan will be blamed with this."

"If that happens, I am not sure if April will ever talk to you again," Elle said which made the two men cowered from fear.

"Second Rule, as Bryan said April should not be hurt in the process. However, we all know that April is also a good fighter and she will surely retaliate."

"Therefore, fighting with her cannot be avoided. But the attacker should make sure that she will not receive any fatal attack." The two men just nodded in agreement.

"The third Rule, the plan should be implemented when the target is alone."

"And the last Rule, no one should know about this plan except for the three of us and Charles' friend. If anyone here talks about this plan to anybody then let's forget about this."

"After this plan is successfully done, no one is allowed to talk about it. Is that clear?" Elle was looking at them seriously. The two men just nodded at her like an obedient child.

"Hmm, I think we should act at night time when April is alone in her apartment or on the way to her apartment," Bryan suggested.

"Okay, we will just disguise it as a robbery attempt. If everything does not look good on April's part, it will be the time that you, Bryan should appear for her rescue.

"If this will be done in her apartment, make sure that the CCTV camera in the streets near her apartment as well as the CCTV of her apartment should be disabled during the attack."

"So that is the plan. I will leave it all to you guys. Good luck." Elle said as she smirked at them.

"Okay, I brought communication devices here. Charles, please give it to your friend. And this one is for you." Bryan gave him the devices and he taught them how to use it.

Unknown to him, Charles and Elle were already very familiar with this kind of device.

"Okay! let's do this tonight. Lunchtime is over. I need to go back to the headquarter. Thank you, Elle, for your help. Hmm, Buddy, I will be counting on you with this. My love life depends on you now." Bryan said to them.

"Don't worry Buddy. I will perform well!" Charles assured him. Then Bryan left the Cafe.

"Elle I thought you will be the one doing this?" Charles said to her while feeling worried. 

"Why are you so worried? I will accompany you as well. There is no fun if I will be the one doing this."

"Besides you know me, I am not sure if I can control my strength for April not to be hurt. I will help you in case you need my help." 

"Liar! I know you can handle her without hurting her. Are you just trying to make me as bait here before you strike?" Charles complained to her.

Elle just laughed as Charles had read her mind. "Haha, Charles I just want to see you fight this time. Use your skills. Master Phantom taught you some moves so I am confident you can do it."

Charles just sighed deeply. He just accepted his fate tonight.

_____________________________________________

Evening came, Charles and Elle were now ready. Everything was set. They were in the darker corner of the streets, waiting for their target to come.

They both wearing a black leather jacket, cap, and mask. Elle brought her favorite motorcycle. She also informed Erick that she would come home late tonight.

This should be done quickly and as soon as possible before Erick picked her up in the Falcon Cafe.

Bryan was also on the move. He was following April as she went home. He was constantly communicating with his two accomplices.

They saw the target walking towards her apartment. Luckily there were no bystanders around.

Elle would serve as a lookout while Charles would be the one to attack April. Elle signaled Charles to move now so he walked towards April.

April was trying to open her apartment's door using her key when she felt someone else's presence.

She turned around to see a man wearing a cap, mask, and jacket, pointing a gun at her as he spoke up.

"Don't move, don't shout or else I will shoot you! Give me your bag!" he warned her. April frown but she remained calm.

Elle was just observing on the side. She shook her head. "Charles you are too close to her. If you are not careful she can snatch that gun from you." Elle mumbled to herself. Elle's assumption was right.

April raised her hands as a sign of her submission. But Charles did not realize that April's hands were now closer to his gun.

April suddenly turned right to avoid the aim of the gun away from her and she grabbed his arm, thus neutralizing the threat.

What she did next really surprise both Elle and Charles. She bit his hand which made Charles released the gun that he was holding. "Ouch!" Charles grunted from pain.

Elle chuckled in her spot. "D*mn! Haha, She really bites him."

Bryan also saw the scene. He had the urge to laugh at him but he controlled it. He felt sorry for  Charles. 

April kicked the gun away from them. Charles was still occupied by the pain in his hand that's why he did not anticipate the next attack of April.

April charged towards him with a balled fist. Unprepared, Charles recoiled from a punch to his jaw with a wince.

Elle couldn't stop herself from laughing at Charles' situation right now. She decided to walk towards them and interfered before Charles would be beaten further.

April prepared again for another strike and she hit him on the shoulder with a hard fist. Charles fell backward with a loud thud.

"How dare you rob a police officer?" April said to him. April was so focused on him that she did not notice another presence. 

Elle was already holding the gun which was dropped by Charles. She clapped her hands three times in order to catch April's attention.

April turned to see another figure wearing a jacket, cap, and mask. She guessed that it was a girl based on her petite figure.

Elle was now pointing the gun at April. This time, April felt a little bit nervous. The girl was standing far away from her.

She could not grab or snatch the gun from her with this distance. She frowned. She didn't have the choice but to cooperate and negotiate with them.

"What do you need? You want my bag. Here! Come and get it."

"No, I changed my mind. You have beaten my partner so I will just shoot you. I will count one two three. You have three seconds to say your prayers."

Elle said to her. April's eyes widened. The girl in front of her was really serious and she was not joking.

'Damn! Am I going to die tonight?' April thought to herself.

Elle started to count "One...Two..." April just closed her eyes waiting for the gun to be fired at her.

Meanwhile, the reason why Elle started counting was in order to give Bryan a signal. As if he understood it.

He came out from his hiding place and ran towards them. He was not sure what the girl was trying to do. He thought maybe she was just bluffing that she would shoot.

April did not see Bryan's arrival since she already closed her eyes. Bryan went in the middle of Elle and April.

He was blocking the gun which was aimed towards April. Then seconds later they heard the sound of a firing gun.

Elle grabbed Charles right away, leaving the place where Bryan and April were left.

"Hey, why did you shoot?! Is that part of the plan?" Charles asked Elle. He was shocked beyond belief.

Elle just gave him an evil smirk and she did not answer him. They both flee using the motorcycle.

Meanwhile, seconds after April heard the sound of gunfire, she opened her eyes. She felt weird.

She was confused about what just happened. She didn't feel hurt anywhere so this only meant that the bullet did not hit her.

Her eyes scanned the surrounding and the two robbers already disappeared. What surprised her was when she saw a familiar figure of a man, lying on the ground.

"Bryan!!!" She exclaimed as she ran towards him. 'What the hell is he doing here?' April's face became pale as a realization came to her.

"Oh no! Did he sacrifice his own self to shield me from the bullet?"
