The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

*** XXX Crime Investigation Headquarters ***

Officer Kim arrived at XXX Crime Investigation Headquarter, escorting General Jason to the interrogation room prepared by Rose and April. This operation was still a secret from the higher-ups.

Erick's team and Officer Kim's team were the only ones who knew about this operation to avoid being monitored by the spies. 

Rose and April went to guide them inside the interrogation room. The awkwardness was there. Rose and April didn't know what to say or how to react now that they saw General Jason face to face.

They were still having a hard time believing that General Jason was a traitor… the spy of the Dark Knight Organization. Everyone was silent when they entered the room. General Jason's hands were bound by handcuffs.

Officer Kim sighed deeply as he could feel the heavy tension inside the interrogation room.

"Oh, Rose, April… here's the phone of General Jason. Someone kept on calling him a while ago but we didn't answer it. I think it's the Dark Lord," Officer Kim informed the two women.

Rose accepted the phone. "Got it, Officer Kim. We know what to do."

"Alright. I will just go outside and give you privacy. You can start your interrogation. My team and I will just stay on guard outside." Officer Kim patted Rose's and April's shoulder before leaving the room. He knew that the two ladies were still in shock about everything that happened today.

When Officer Kim left, Rose and April sat down on the two available chairs facing General Jason. General Jason was very silent, not even looking at them.

"Captain… I mean General, we are here to ask you questions. We hope that you will cooperate with us and answer everything," April finally spoke up thus breaking the silence.

Rose, on the other hand, was trying to access General Jason's phone. Officer Kim said that General Jason refused to give his passcode. That's why they couldn't open his phone. He saw some messages sent by the Dark Lord but the phone was locked.

April and Rose convinced him to give them the password but he refused to cooperate. Rose had no choice but to use her hacking skills to unlock his phone. April continued asking General Jason but he remained silent, not saying a single word. His expression remained blank as if he couldn't hearing anything.

April was almost losing her patience when Elle and others arrived at the headquarters. Officer Kim informed Rose and April who were inside the interrogation room. April allowed Elle to enter the room as she requested to see General Jason.

James and Charles were with Elle. The two men stayed outside together with officer Kim, only Elle went inside the room. Rose and April also came out of the room, allowing Elle to talk to General Jason alone.

They were just monitoring Elle and Jason outside through the one-way transparent mirror. There were also monitors outside where they could watch what was happening inside the interrogation room.

Elle didn't turn off the recording and didn't mute the speaker so people could still hear them in the monitoring room.

General Jason who was wearing a blank expression a while ago suddenly showed some reactions when Elle appeared in front of him. Complex emotions were visible on his face.

"Are you really, Ma. Belle? Cedrick's daughter?" General Jason asked her once again just to confirm. He was still affected by this revelation.

Elle flashed her mocking smile when she heard him mentioning her father's name.

"I didn't know why you can still mention the name of my father even though you have committed a great sin against him. Don't you feel ashamed by that?"

General Jason fell silent after hearing that. He looked down, avoiding Elle's gaze. He could still vividly remember the scene where he last saw Elle 18 years ago. She was lying on the floor with her father, both were bathing with their own blood.

He thought he forgot all about it. But those memories were resurfacing once again in his mind. He was haunted by that nightmare for several years. He kept believing that he didn't feel any regrets or didn't feel any guilt at all. 

However, every time he would remember that certain memory, he couldn't help but feel guilty for everything he had done, especially to that poor innocent child. He ruined her family and he knew that sin was unforgivable.

When it came to Cedrick's daughter, his conscience didn't give him peace of mind. Ma. Belle Elleise had always been his weakness… his demon in the past. It always reminded him of the grave sin he committed in the past… the Betrayal he did to his good friend.

"Why did you come here? What do you want to say to me? Are you happy now that I am here as a culprit?" General Jason asked her. He wanted to know what she was thinking right now.

Elle maintained her indifferent expression. Even she, herself, didn't know why she came to see him or what were things she should say to him. She was not happy even though they finally caught General Jason and the truth was revealed to them.

"I'm here not to ask favor… but I just hope that you will cooperate with us. But even though you will do that I don't think I can forgive you for what you have done to me, and my family, most especially to my father."

"But you know… even without your help, we can still catch the Dark Lord. Just like you, he played a bigger role in this. He must pay for all his crime. We will make sure that it will happen today. Both of you already deceived a lot of people. Now it's the time you break that Mask and show the world who you really are."

After saying that, Elle stood up. "That's all I wanna say." 

Elle turned around in order to leave. But before she could leave the room, General Jason mumbled something.

"Ma. Belle… I'm sorry."

Elle stopped on her track, clenching her fists and slamming her eyes shut while gritting her teeth. She didn't say anything. She didn't glance back at him. After taking a deep breath, she continued walking out of the room.

The moment Elle left, General Jason called Rose and April. He gave them the passcode of his phone so that they could finally access it. He did one thing for them that would help the team in catching the Dark Lord.

*******

Meanwhile, at the Bio-weapon Facility, the Dark Lord already arrived. He was now waiting for Alfonso and his team. It's been a while now since the last time Alfonso gave him an update.

He was about to ask about Alfonso's location when his phone rang. It was a call from Snake also known as General Jason. The Dark Lord heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, Snake was able to contact him.

Dark Lord: "What took you so long to contact me? I called you several times but you didn't answer. What happened to you, Snake?"

General Jason: "I'm sorry, our Lord. I just called you to let you know that... the mission is done. All done."

Dark Lord: "Good. I know I can always count on you."

In the end, Jason remained a traitor. He even betrayed the Dark Lord.
