At Arison Holdings and Mining Corporation,

Erick together with Bryan and Eagles were still discussing with Selena and James about their safety and security.

"We will assign some agents who will guard you both since we do not know when Catseye will initiate her attack again." Captain Jason said to them.

"Thank you Captain. We appreciate your help." James replied.

"Even though you have your own bodyguards and securities, we will also dispatch our team to monitor your safety since it is our responsibility to catch Catseye."

"We understand Captain." Selena gave them a grateful look.

"That's settled then. We will arranged everything tomorrow. For now, we will make another plan and strategy. We have to go now. Thank you for your cooperation." Jason bade them a goodbye.

Bryan and Erick were also about to leave when Selena approached them.

"Chief Lee and Sergeant Velasquez, thank you for coming today. I would like to apologize about my action a while ago."

It was Bryan who spoke with her first. "You don't have to apologize Miss Selena! You did nothing wrong. I was amazed by your bravery."

Selena smiled at him then she glanced at Erick.

"You should rest Miss Selena. I know you have been exhausted for today." Erick said softly. Selena nodded.

"What if we go to the hospital to let the doctor check your wound Miss Selena. We never know, what if Catseye has some trick and she injected something to the cat in order to harm you." Bryan suggested with his concern voice.

"What do you think Chief Lee?" Bryan turned to Erick. Selena was also waiting for his response.

"I think Bryan is right. It is better to be sure." Erick said.

"We will accompany you miss Selena. Chief Lee knows a very capable doctor." Bryan said to her.

Selena agreed, "Okay! Let's go?"

Selena informed James that she would go to the hospital to have her wound check. He also agreed since Detective Lee and Sergeant Velasquez were accompanying her. Soon, the three of them went to the Hospital.

On their way, Dr. Gomez was already informed about the situation and he was now waiting for the three of them to arrive. When they arrived Dr. Gomez greeted them. He was glad to meet Selena Arison in person.

Dr. Gomez examined her wound personally. It just seemed normal scatch and he didn't find something harmful from that wound. He just gave her an ointment for the wound so that it would not leave a mark later on.

"Hmm, it seemed that Catseye didn't do some tricks aside from using the cat to frighten you." Bryan said to them. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Thank you Sergeant for your concerns." Selena said to Bryan while she was staring at Erick who is now having a conversation with Dr. Gomez.

"Ahem, Chief Detective Lee, It seems like you are bringing a lot of beauties here lately. Are they the candidates for your wife to be?" Dr Gomez teased him

"Here we go again, with your matchmaking." Erick slightly punched him on the shoulder.

"I am just a worried friend here. Do you really have a high standards when it comes to women?" Dr Gomez shook his head.

"You are so lucky that Uncle and Aunt do not pressure you. Other parents would have already demanded you to bring their daughter in law and would be asking you to give them grandchildren already." Dr Gomez added.

"There's no need to rush. Things like that will just come by naturally. There is right timing for that." Erick just smiled at him.

"Okay, I won't argue with you. I really thought you are an angel in disguise but I was wrong.... You are a Saint!!! But let me ask you first. Do you already have a girl in mind right now?" Dr Gomez whispered to him while simply looking at Selena. Dr Gomez caught Selena many times when she was staring at Erick from time to time.

Erick was about to say something when his phone vibrated. He checked his phone and his eyes lit up when he saw the message which was coming from Elle. He moved away from Dr. Gomez before reading her message.

"I already bought food for our dinner tonight so you don't need to cook later." Elle informed him. Erick's features softened and his lips curled into a smile. Today was a very hectic, tiring and stressful day for them, reading her simple message he had the urge to go home right now.

Dr Gomez didn't noticed that Erick already moved farther away from him. He was now occupied of something and he was very focused on his phone right now. Dr Gomez frown 'Is he avoiding my question just a while ago?'

Minutes later, Erick walked towards Selena and Bryan.

"I think we need to go now. Miss Selena also needs to rest now." Erick said to Bryan. Selena and Bryan just nodded and they bade their goodbye to Dr. Gomez.

"I am grateful for the both of you, accompanying me here. If you will allow me, I want to invite you for a dinner tonight at our home. Are you both available?" Selena invited them.

Bryan was about to say yes when Erick cut him off immediately. "Miss Selena, Thank you so much for the invitation but I am afraid we can't come tonight. We need to be back at the headquarters now and we might stayed over night. There are lot of things that we need to do." He politely rejected her invitation.

Bryan gave him a questioning look. He didn't heard about working over time tonight. Erick gave him a warning look.

"Okay I understand. Maybe some other time then." Erick gave her an apologetic smile and nodded at her.

James fetched Selena while Erick and Bryan went back to the headquarter.

It was already 7:00 pm in the evening when they finished their team meeting. Captain Jason came up with a strategic plan on how they will guard the Arison Siblings against Catseye. They already identified five elite agents who will joined the security team that will be assigned to Arison Siblings. They already oriented them about Catseye.

Team Alpha Cinco and Special Task Force Eagles were still bothered by the sudden appearance of Catseye. They couldn't think what is her true motive. They also got to talk to Catseye for the very first time. What surprised them more was that Catseye was familiar with Captain Jason, Carl and the rest of the members of Special Task Force Eagles. They suspected that she already did a background check with every members.

After the long tiring day, finally they could now go home. Bryan approached Erick.

"Why did you reject Selena's invitation? And you lied about working over time." Bryan complained to him.

"If I agree, then Elle will have to eat dinner tonight alone." Erick said honestly.

Bryan was dumbfounded. 'So he was thinking about her that is why he didn't hesitate to reject Selena's invitation. Well Erick has a point.' he thought to himself.

Erick entered his car when Bryan followed him. Erick gave him a questioning look. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"Coming with you!" Bryan said matter-of-factly.

"Why? Don't you have your own place?" Erick was looking at him with disbelief.

"What if Catseye will really visit me tonight. I don't want to be alone. Please let me stay with you for a while." Bryan gave him a pleading look.

Erick just laughed at him. "You should have thought about that in the first place before you provoke her."

"Thank you Bro! I know you are worried about me and you couldn't bear seeing me hurt." Erick just shook his head.

After thirty minutes of travel, they arrived at Erick's Place. Erick knocked on the door. Seconds later, the door was opened and Elle's petite figure appeared in front of them.

Erick greeted her with a smile. Their eyes met and they both paused for a moment. Then someone's voice ruined the atmosphere again.

"Hello Elle good evening!" Bryan happily greeted her.

Elle:"...."

She was stunned in a moment when she saw that familiar face again.

'Is this dejavu? It's him again!'

She frown and turned to Erick looking annoyed. Elle gave the two men a sharp glared.

Bryan shivered when he saw that kind of look. "Why is it I felt that this scene already happened before. Is this Dejavu?"
