The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Elle made sure that Dark Knight and Skull Gang completely left the place before she came out from her hiding place.

She looked at her ruined place. She just shook her head. She didn't imagine that she would sacrifice her place just like that for the sake of an idiot guy like Charles. If she hadn't injured and had her weapon with her she would just killed all those intruders.

She went inside the underground secret bas.e.m.e.nt. When she entered, Charles came running towards her. He was really happy to see her. He was about to hug Elle because of his excitement when Elle stopped him and suddenly hit him in the head.

"Ouch!" Charles grunted.

"That was for my ruined place." she said then she hit him again. Charles grunted again.

"And that one is for dragging me here."

Charles looked at her with a puppy eyes while saying "Thank you for saving me!"

Elle ignored him and walked towards her weapons. She picked them one by one. She missed them so much, her daggers, her gun and every weapons in that bas.e.m.e.nt.

"I will give you one two days. Find me a new place and transfer all this items here." Elle spoke to Charles.

Charles nodded "Copy Madam! I will surely find you a much more better house."

"Elle, I was really amazed. I stayed here at your place but I didn't know that you have such a sophisticated security system.I really thought that I was gonna die tonight!"

"I don't have time right now. I need to go now. Let's talk about this another day." She was glad that Charles was okay.

'I thought he was a clumsy guy but he is more than capable. He escaped from our enemies unscratch. I was worried for nothing.' Elle smiled from that thought.

She walked towards the exit and then she spoke again "Be careful. Don't let this happen again. If you do, I will kill you myself!" She warned him and gave him a sharp glare before she finally walked out from the bas.e.m.e.nt.

"Hmm, She just not wanted to admit but I know she was worried at me. Haha" He mumbled to himself as he glanced at the retreating back of Elle. He was smiling foolishly.

Meanwhile at Erick's Place....

Erick was sitting on the Balcony with his eyes closed and his one hand was on his forehead.

Bryan was silently looking at him on the side.

After he left the headquarter, he went straight to Erick's place. He didn't spotted Elle from those street cameras.

"Erick I think you should changed first. You're bathing with your sweats. You might get sick. Pneumonia case is rampant these days." Bryan said with a concerned voice. He knew Erick searched for Elle in the entire city but unfortunately he couldn't find her.

Erick didn't respond to him. He just stayed still in his position. Bryan didn't know how to deal with him. This was the first time he had seen Erick acted like this.

The silent atmosphere was too deafening. Bryan could just only pray for Elle to return and it was answered immediately.

After a while, someone arrived and walked towards the balcony.

It was Bryan who first noticed the person who is now walking towards them. Bryan eyes widened and shouted "Jasmine!"

Erick finally reacted when heard Bryan mentioned that name. He opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. His eyes caught the petite figure of a woman who was slowly approaching them. 'It was really her. Jasmine!'

He quickly stood up from his seat and ran towards her. He grabbed both her shoulders and he looked at her examining her from top to bottom, making sure whether she was hurt anywhere or not.

"Where did you go? Are you okay? Why you didn't inform me? Do you know how worried I am about you? I thought something bad happened to you." He bombarded her with questions and he sounded so worried and upset at the same time.

Elle was stunned on her spot. She didn't expect this kind of reaction from him. She wouldn't know how to respond. Before coming here, she already prepared her alibi but seeing him like this she couldn't utter a word.

She felt pressured and a little bit uncomfortable from the stare that he was giving her right now. She could see so much emotions from his eyes- relief, concern, stress and unhappiness.

Is she nervous? Why her heart was beating so fast right now? She couldn't look at him straight from the eyes so she looked down to avoid his intense gaze. "I'm sorry." she softly mumbled. She didn't know why but these words are the only words she could utter from this moment. Erick's eyes turned gentle upon hearing her.

Bryan was silently observing the two persons with an astonished expression. He also didn't know how to react. He felt that he was the third wheel there and the two people there have already forgotten about his existence.

At the end, he couldn't take it anymore so he decided to inform them that he was also there, together with them.

"Ahmm, I think we should go inside first."

Elle was thankful that Bryan spoke up. She nodded and quickly walked inside. She didn't know but all she wanted right now is to escape and distance herself from Erick. She thought that she would have a heart attack if she stayed longer with his side.

She walked straight to the kitchen and drunk plenty of waters. Bryan followed her while Erick went to his room.

"Erick told me to ask you if you already take your dinner?" Bryan asked politely.

"Not yet." she simply replied.

"Okay. He already prepared your dinner at the dining table. He will just take a shower right now.' Bryan said to him.

"Okay. Ahmm...Sergeant... what happened when I am gone?" Elle curiously asked Bryan.

"He learned that you left the house without informing him he was worried about you. He looked for you in the entire city." Bryan informed her.

Elle was dumbfounded when heard him 'He looked for me in the entire city. So that's the reason why he looked so tired a while ago.'

"Do you think he was mad?"

Bryan chuckled "I seldom see him get mad but I think he was a little upset. Please understand him. He was really concerned about your safety."

Elle nodded and apologized "Sorry for the inconvenience Sergeant."

"Just call me Bryan. Don't worry, since you are here, he will be fine now. I have to go now. Take your dinner. He will really get mad if he learned that you haven't eaten anything yet."

Bryan gave him a meaningful smile.
