The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

The police officers entered the boutique after they got the go signal of Erick. He informed them that the criminal had been apprehended.

Some of them released the other hostages from being tied down. Officer Kim and others went to the fitting room to arrest the unconscious suspect. Elle and Erick were also there and they were just about to leave.

Officer Kim was surprised seeing Elle there. Now he understood why Erick convinced them to let him infiltrate the boutique secretly. Aside from his mother and other hostages, Elle was one of the reason that explained Erick's action a while ago.

Erick and Elle were about to go out when the other hostages ran towards them. Elle frown seeing their faces with full excitement and admiration.

Each one of them spoke up to Erick, hoping to get his attention.

"Officer thank you for saving us!"

"We are indebted to you. Tell us how can we pay you in return."

"We really like to thank our savior!"

The other police officers shook their head. The atmosphere here become livelier, it seemed like that the hostage taking situation didn't happen. It's like fans meeting their idol.

"Detective Lee is really famous with girls." one of the police officer commented while observing those girls surrounding Erick.

Erick just smiled awkwardly at those ladies.

"Actually, I didn't do anything. She was the one who save you. She knocked down the suspect by herself."

The girls turned to look at Elle. She just gave them a cold stare. They were speechless.

"She is more frightening than the man who take us as hostage." one girl whispered. Others nodded in agreement.

"But police officer, may we know your name?" Someone asked Erick again.

"Yeah, can we have your number also, so that if there is emergency and something like this happened we can ask you for help."

Elle was becoming impatient. 'Duh, these girls are shameless! Asking for personal number? They could just dial 911 emergency number.'

Erick was about to say something when Elle spoke up. "Just call 911" she said to them with a serious tone. The girls became speechless again.

Erick looked at her and he noticed that Elle was staring at him with her eyebrows raised as if telling him 'are you going to stay here and entertain them or are you leaving with me right now and meet your mother outside who is waiting for us?'

As if, he understood what she meant by that look Erick just smiled at her apologetically and he just bowed his head to the ladies as acknowledgement to their gratitudes.

"Let's go, I think Mom is waiting for us." he said at her while smiling sheepishly. Then he grabbed Elle's shoulder and guided her outside the boutique.

The ladies just look at their retreating back feeling so envious.

"She is lucky. Are they couple?"

"Maybe, you saw how worried he was a while ago and his action when he is trying to save her. He came to save her." They sounded frustrated.

When Elle and Erick got out from the boutique, Sarah came running to them as soon as she saw them. She hugged Elle immediately.

"Elle my darling, how are you? Did he hurt you? Did he do something to you?" Sarah bombarded her with questions.

"I'm okay mom. I was able to protect my self. I told you don't have to worry about me besides Erick came to save me." Elle softly said to her.

Erick was dumbfounded when he heard that Elle called his mother Mom. They were getting along really well.

"Thanks God your safe. I am really worried about you. I regretted leaving you there alone."

Elle could feel her warmth and gentleness. She really sounded like a mom worrying about her daughter. Elle was grateful for that.

After a while, the suspect was being carried to the ambulance. He was still unconscious. Officer Kim and some police officers walked towards Elle.

"Miss can we talk to you for just a few minutes. We would like to get your statement as witness in this hostage taking situation and regarding the suspect. Are you okay with that?" the police officer beside officer Kim said to her.

Erick and Officer Kim were looking at her waiting for her response. If she was uncomfortable to talk right now, they would not force her to talk right now.

"Ok sir." Elle said to the police officer.

Elle told him everything about what happened from the start. Of course she omitted some truth and twisted her statement how the man was beaten by her inside the fitting room.

"I used the safety torch with shock effect that Erick gave to me that's why I was able to knock him down." Elle said confidently. She was really sounded convincing. Erick, Officer Kim and Officer Kim were just nodding and listening to her.

"Is that only what you did?" The officer asked her again trying to confirm something.

Elle paused for a while. Observing their reactions. Then suddenly she smiled sheepishly.

"Actually, I did something more to him."

Erick, Officer Kim and the other police officer were now very focused on her, waiting for her answer.

"I gave him a very hard kick on his balls and five kicks on his abdomen. And I hit his head using the gun. Just want to make sure that he won't be able to stand up besides I am really nervous and frighten that time so I do that by impulse. He deserves it." She giggled after saying those things.

Erick:"....."

Officer Kim:"...."

Police officer:"...."

They were all dumbfounded upon hearing Elle's statement. They didn't think that she was brave enough and a little bit brutal, assaulting and beating an unconscious man.

They imagined how painful it was luckily he was already unconscious. Well, that's what they thought but they were mistaken.

Erick smiled at her feeling so proud. 'Ahem, very good. That's my girl. He really deserves it.' Erick thought to himself.

The officer thanked her for her cooperation before leaving them. Erick noticed that Bryan and Captain Jason had so many miscalls. He was not able to answer their calls.

He tapped his forehead "Crap, I forgot to tell them about the situation. I even used our service coming here." He looked really guilty right now.

He turned to look at her mother and Elle who were having a conversation. "I couldn't leave them right now after what happen." Erick mumbled.

Then a light flashed on his eyes when he saw Officer Kim. He approached him.

"Officer Kim.... can I ask you a favor?" Erick smiled at him sheepishly while scratching his head.

Officer Kim gave him a confused look and then he chuckled.

"What is it? Just tell me, no need to be embarrassed."

"I can't leave my Mother and Elle right now. Can you fetch Captain Jason and the rest using that van? I left them a while ago without informing them about the situation." Erick pointed the location of van that he used when he drove to this place.

Officer Kim was astonished upon hearing him. "Did you leave them during your field investigation without asking permission? You hurriedly drove to this place upon hearing the news?"

Erick just nodded at him. Officer Kim shook his head feeling amused. 'Detective Lee was also capable of doing action rashly. I didn't think that he could be aggressive sometimes.'

In the end, he agreed on his request.
