The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Three days had passed and Elle was recovering well. She had already adjusted living with the Detective. However she could not move around freely especially now that Erick had heightened the security at home by putting CCTV cameras around the place and in the nearby area.

She could still remember how annoyed she was while observing the technician installed all the CCTV cameras. If just look could kill, the technician would already be dead because of her sharp glared.

Elle and Charles were contantly contacting each other. They already planned out their next move and how Elle would be able to escape without trace after she completely recovered.

Unknown to them, their peaceful moment would be disturb and a storm was about to happen. Their enemies already started their moves. Black shadow already prepared the bait for Charles. Dark Knight's men were closely monitoring Skull Gang movements waiting for the opportunity to strike if Catseye would appear.

An anonymous tip had been also delivered at XXX Crime Investigation Headquarter.

"Chief Chief, everyone look at this!" June came running into the office holding a brown envelope.

Team Alpha gathered around when they heard June.

"What is that?" It was April who asked first.

"Some mailman left this to me in the entrance. He said I should give it to our Chief. There is a precious information inside this envelope that was useful to our current case." June said while panting because he was rushing a while ago.

"Where's the mailman now?" Erick asked him.

"He left already. But I got his I.D picture." June replied

"That's good!"Erick tapped his shoulder.

"Should we open this now? Bryan was about to examine the brown envelope when Erick stopped him.

"Wait. Bring this to the lab first for fingerprint testing." Erick ordered. June nodded and then he left.

"Bryan inform Captain Jason about this."

"Ok Chief!"

"Tell them we will have a meeting after the result of fingerprint checking in the lab." Erick added. Bryan nodded and left.

After an hour, the result was out. Team Alpha Cinco and Special Task Force Eagle gathered in the conference room. They were all there waiting (except for Marie who went undercover)when June arrived with the result.

"Only my fingerprint and the mailman fingerprint were seen." June said. He gave the envelope to Erick.

Erick was the one who opened it. Everyone was very focused, anticipating what information was inside that brown envelope. They were all excited to know.

They saw Erick picked up a white paper inside with computerized message. Erick brows furrowed into knots when he saw the message inside. He lifted the paper and turned it over for the others to see. Everyone's eyes widened upon reading the four words in the paper.

"CATSEYE IS A WOMAN"

There was a moment of silence inside the room. Even Captain Jason didn't know what to say. Everyone was speechless. It was Erick who broke the silence.

"We need to verify and validate first this information. We are not sure yet if this information is true and reliable. This is an anonymous tip coming from unknown informant." After saying that, they recovered from their shocks.

All this time they assumed that Catseye was a man. From the strength, agility, the ruthless methods, bloody killings and the way Catseye accomplished every mission they thought Catseye was a man. And now there was a tip saying Catseye was a woman.

"There were two possibilities. First... if this is false, someone just wanted to mess up with our current investigation. Second...if this is true, someone really wanted to help us in this investigation. But why would they do that? After five years, why give this just now?" Captain Jason shared his thought.

Every one fell into a deep thought, analyzing those possibilities. It was April who spoke again.

"I don't think someone would want to mess up with our current investigation. Besides no one knows about the progress even the media because we keep it confidential from the public. Only the family involves know about our progress."

"At the same time there's no need to mess with us since our lead and clue ended with these two persons" April pointed out the sketches of waitress and the bodyguard.

"That's right. This information was not also given intentionally by Catseye to divert our attention since we knew Catseye's method. He won't waste his time messing up with our investigation. For five years, I admit Catseye is underestimating us Eagles." It was Carl who supported April's analysis.

"So it could be the second possibility! If this information is true why just give it to us now? Who could it be? If the informant could just appear personally so that we can ask that person to explain further how that person discovered Catseye's identity then the tip would become more reliable but instead he preferred to be anonymous." Captain Jason was not yet convinced whether the information was true and reliable.

"He didn't give us a proof to validate this information!" Jason added.

"Let's backtrack everything, from the start up to the informations we got, our suspects and this anonymous tip. Let's try to connect the dots." Erick suggested. Every one nodded in agreement.

"First think of the informations that we have for this two. Since we conclude that either one of them is Catseye and the other one is just an accomplice. Who among the two should be Catseye. If the information given is true then let's look back to the incident that night that will point out that this waitress is Catseye."

Every one looked back at the information gathered, from the interviews, from the result of autopsy, the chronological events that happen as well as the time of death of Jorge and Peter.

Thirty minutes had passed when Bryan suddenly stood up and said "I got it! I got some clue!" Everyone's attention was now focused on Bryan.

"What did you find?"Captain Jason asked curiously.

"I think it was the waitress who killed Jorge.". Bryan told them and he sounded very certain.

"Why is that so?" Jason asked him again.

"According to the interviews and witnesses, after the commotion happened they never saw the waitress back in the hall."Bryan said.

"Agree ,when I check the CCTV recordings in the main hall that was the last time she was seen on the CCTV footage." Rose supported Bryan's statement.

"Here, this comes from one of our witness when we asked to describe the bodyguard when we are making the sketches. She was the one who vividly saw the face of the bodyguard because he was with her drinking champagne for almost 30 minutes until the chaos started. She said the man disappeared after Selena founded the lifeless body of Peter and the unconscious Jorge in the room.

"If that's the case then there is a high possibility that the waitress could be Catseye and this tip is true and reliable. But they didn't give us a proof to support this. Who could be this anonymous informant?" Jason said

Silence once again engulfed the conference hall. Then finally their remaining questions were answered when Chief Detective Inspector Lee spoke up.

"I think the information given to us was true but they can't provide us a solid proof because they didn't have one. This could be came from one of Catseye's enemies." Everyone listened attentively to Erick's deduction and analysis.

"He choose to be anonymous because of two possibilities they simply didn't want to be involve with the authorities and there is something they wanted to protect and doesn't want to implicate by giving this information. They knew that we will also investigate them. They must be involved in some illegal activities." The team nodded in agreement.

"And lastly, Three days ago we talk about Catseye being idle for a while. She committed less crime compared to the past years which we find it very unusual. We are wondering what happened to Catseye. And this is the answer to that. Catseye might really encountered a problem during her mission and someone accidentally discovered her true identity. She must be injured since until now there was still no news and movement from her end or she went lie low."

"They didn't reveal her identity before because they had just discovered it recently. The person who gave us this information have the same motive with us...that is to catch Catseye." Erick finished his conclusion.

Everyone was astonished. They had really connected all the dots! Now they were really certain....Catseye was a woman! This was a shocking news for them.
