The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Chapter 57 - 57: A Big Surprise at Home

At Erick's Place...

The two unexpected visitors were now sitting on the living room. Elle was busy preparing their drinks at the kitchen. "Erick Lee, why you didn't mention that your parents are coming over today?!" She was complaining to herself.

Erick's parents mistook her as his girlfriend. As expected, who would not assume with their right mind that she was not his girlfriend since for the first place she said to them that she was living in that house which is owned by their son Erick. And seeing their shocked expressions, this might be the first time that Erick let someone stay in his house without his parents' knowing.

She didn't have the chance to correct it since she was really mentally unprepared meeting his parents and couldn't think of a good alibi. Of course, she was not in good position to tell them the truth that their son just save her and decided to take care of her because she was hunted by some gang.

Just three persons were enough to know that she was being hunted by Skull Gang besides she didn't want to frighten his parents and be involve with this also. She was also thinking about what would be their reaction if they knew that?

And lastly, seeing the joy and excitement from the reactions of Erick's mother while hugging her a while ago, she didn't have the heart to disappoint her. That was also her first time being hugged like that after a long time. She didn't know why but she felt at ease and relaxed in her presence and suddenly she was reminded of her mother's warm hug.

She glanced at the couple in the living room. They looked good together. She could feel the love between them. They were now having a casual conversation and they seemed like they were enjoying their moments together.

She picked up her phone and she was about to inform Erick about his parents' sudden visit and their wrong assumption about her but she stopped when she remembered something.

She remembered the article she read about Erick...

"He is still a bachelor and many girls are still lining up to be his girlfriend. They didn't heard about him having a girlfriend that's why many girls are still hoping."

She recalled also the day they went to the hospital to have her check up and Dr. Gomez told something to Erick....

"You are ready to have some wife. So start looking for one now. You have a dangerous job, you didn't know you might die single. Tsk Tsk. It would be a waste if you will not spread your beautiful genes. Many girls are lining up for you."

Of course how could she forget the scene she witnessed at the Famous Restaurant in City Z where she saw Erick and Selena having a nice conversation in which they both looked so happy and so closed with each other.

And just recently, Erick just stole her first kiss and then he didn't remember. Her first kiss was taken just like that but the person who did it forgot everything about it. It was so unfair!

Elle grasp on her phone tightened. She was smiling but deep inside she was in raged.

"Chief Detective Inspector Erick Lee! It seems like the fate is on my side right now, giving me the opportunity to get even with you and it is telling me that I should also give you a lesson just like what I did to Sergeant Velasquez." She mumbled to herself. Then a sly smile appeared on her beautiful face as she started scheming an evil plan against Erick.

Meanwhile.... at XXX Crime Investigation Headquarter

Erick's team and Special Task Force Eagles were having short meetings about the progress of their investigation to Catseye. This time Marie who had undergone undercover mission in the underground world had discovered something.

"There is a rumor circulating in the underground world that Catseye's hide out was discovered and was attacked. It was the same day when we received the anonymous tip about Catseye's identity."

Marie told the team about what she found out during her investigation. Everyone was listening attentively so she continued.

"And the one who was responsible with the attack is also an assassin with an alias of Black Shadow. In the underground world, Catseye and Black Shadow was considered the most skilled assassins. So there is a competition happening between them. Here.... Check this out. This is the address of Catseye's hideout that was attacked by Black Shadow and his group." Marie showed them the address.

"Good job Agent Marie. We will go there tomorrow!" Captain Jason said to them.

After a while, their meetings was adjourned. They left the conference room.

"Guys, the day after tomorrow is the celebration of my birthday. Let's celebrate and have a dinner together!" Rose invited them. Captain Jason as well as the other members of Eagles accepted her invitation. That will also be their first team dinner together.

"You can bring your friends and partners if you want." Rose added.

"I am so excited!" April said. "Hey Bryan don't forget your promised about shopping." April reminded him.

"Yeah. I know, promise is a promise!" Bryan replied. Everyone laughed at him.

"Chief Lee, this time please make sure that you could attend. Free your schedule!" Rose said to Erick.

"Of course yes... it is an important occasion. Then I promise you all that I will make it up to you." Erick assured them.

"Yey... That is settled then!" June joined the conversation.

Erick was happily talking with his team without knowing that something big was waiting for him at his home. He didn't have an idea that his parents were already having a casual conversation with his so called 'instant girlfriend'.

He was about to leave the office in order to go home when Bryan followed him.

"Why are you here again?" Erick asked him

"Chief Lee, please hear me out! Let me come with you tonight. Promise I will not stay over. I just want you to talk with me and Elle, and explain everything to you." Bryan was trying to convince him.

Erick sighed and said "Okay, let's go!" Bryan's gave him a grateful look and he immediately went inside his car.

At around 6:30 p.m. Erick and Bryan arrived at his place. As usual, they rang the doorbell and knocked on the door and waited for Elle to open the door. Elle's eyes brightened upon hearing the bell.

"I think Erick just arrived." Elle told the husband and wife who were busy preparing the food in the dining table. Erick's mother insisted to cook for dinner so they went shopping an hour ago, then when they came back Elle assisted the husband and wife in cooking the food for tonight.

"Both of you, go and greet him. Just leave me here, I will prepare everything." Erick's father told the two ladies. They gave him a smile.

Then Elle went to open the door while Erick's mother was following on her behind. The two men were patiently waiting outside, wondering why it took her so long from opening the door.

Then after a while, the door was opened. Erick and Bryan was greeted by Elle with her most sweetest smile ever. The two men looked with each other puzzled. This was the first time Elle greeted them with that gentle smile.

They didn't know that the most shocking one was just about to happen.

Elle stepped forward towards Erick, her sweet smile never leave her face. She stopped in front of him then she suddenly tiptoed and kissed him on his right cheek and said "Babe welcome home!"

Erick:"..."

Bryan gasped, both his eyes and mouth were wide open from shock.

'Sh**t! Is this Elle's strategy on how to explain everything to Erick!' He couldn't believe what he had just seen and heard a while ago.

Meanwhile....Erick froze on his spot like a statue. His mind went blank. It seemed like the time stop and the only thing that he could registered to his mind was Elle greeting him with her sweetest smile, kissing him on his right cheek and saying "Babe welcome home!".

'Damn! Am I imagining things again?'

The scene and the words kept on repeating on his mind.

Elle's kiss and ...."Babe welcome home!".

Elle's kiss and ...."Babe welcome home!".

Elle's kiss and ...."Babe welcome home!".

Unknown to the two men outside, there was another figure behind Elle who saw everything. She was smiling widely and happiness could be seen in her eyes seeing her son arrived and being welcomed by his beautiful ''girlfriend" with a kiss. So sweet!
