The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

At XXX Crime Investigation Office....

Erick came to work so early. He left the house early. He wanted to avoid his parents from noticing the tension happening between him and Elle.

After a while, June and Rose also arrived at the office. They greeted Erick but after that no one spoke again. Rose was looking at April's table, wondering if she would report for work today after what happened last night. She was now worried about her friend.

The entire office was engulfed of awkward silence. No one spoke about what happened last night. April and Bryan didn't arrived yet. They were wondering what would happen today.

June and Rose were also silently observing Erick. It seemed like he didn't look good today and he seemed that he didn't sleep last night because of his eyebags. They were wondering whether Erick and his girlfriend got also into fight last night.

When members of Eagles came to visit their office, they also felt something was a little bit weird about the atmosphere inside. But they couldn't point out what was happening. Last night, they were all enjoying the night so what's with this kind of vibes this morning.

After a while, Bryan also arrived at the office.

"Hey why are you late? How's April last night? Rose asked him directly as soon as he entered the office.

Bryan didn't answer her. He has a serious look in his face. He ignored her and Bryan immediately went inside Erick's office. Rose was shocked with Bryan's cold treatment.

'What happened to him?'

Erick looked up to see Bryan who had just entered his office.

"Chief Lee, can we talk for a moment?" Erick was confused when he noticed was Bryan was looking at him seriously. Erick just nodded in agreement.

"What is it?" Erick asked him.

"What can you say about April's confession last night?" He asked him direct to the point.

Erick was stunned to hear that. He didn't expect for Bryan to speak about it as soon as he arrived.

"What do you mean?" Erick said to him.

"Ok let me rephrase it. How do you feel about April? We all know that you and Elle are not really in a relationship. So how do you feel about April's confession?" Bryan asked him curiously.

Erick stayed silent for a while.

"Do you have any feelings for her also? You know that she confessed to you last night because she was jealous with your fake girlfriend. She was really hurt last night. I think you should clear this misunderstanding. I think we need to tell them the truth about Elle. She is not your girlfriend and she is just some girl whom you saved and currently staying under your protection." Bryan said to him with a very serious tone.

Erick frown upon hearing it. He was not happy with the tone of Bryan like he was saying that Elle was just an insignificant person. He didn't also like the way Bryan emphasized that Elle was just his fake girlfriend.

"Don't speak like that about Elle. If you are angry with me don't involve her with this." Erick said to him with a stern voice.

Bryan realized his mistake. "Sorry Chief. I didn't mean that. It's just that I am worried about April."

"I understand if you are worried about April. I am also concern about her. I felt guilty upon hearing her confession last night. I admit I was also shocked. No need to tell her about the truth about Elle and me. But it is better this way. I don't want to give her another false hope. I can't return her affection. I like her but as a friend only."

Bryan felt relieved after hearing that. Erick just confirmed to him that he didn't have feelings for April. Now he gained more confidence to pursue her. He would do his best to make her forget Erick and make her fall for him.

"Okay Chief I understand."

"Don't worry, I will talk to her personally. I hope that every thing will come back to normal. I don't want this incident affect our relationsh.i.p.s." Erick assured him.

Meanwhile.... Elle was meeting Charles today. She just made an alibi to Erick's parents before she left the house. She was still upset about last night so she wanted to divert her attention and she knew the best way to do that.

It has been a long time since she acted as Catseye. She missed those things already. She wanted to do things and make a move against her enemies as Catseye. That was the reason she decided to meet Charles.

Charles already accomplished what Elle ordered him to do. Falcon Cafe was all set for the opening. He would just wait for Elle's final instruction.

Their another hide out had been established. Falcon Cafe had a hidden bas.e.m.e.nt where Catseye's weapons and technologies were being kept. Elle visited the place.

Charles and her was now sitting inside the secret bas.e.m.e.nt. Elle was satisfied with everything.

"Good job Charles! You never disappoint me when it comes to these kind of work." she praised him.

"Hmm, well, that's me Charles. You cannot find accomplice as capable as me!" Charles said while brimming with confidence.

"So when we will start to accept missions?" He asked her.

Elle face became serious after that. "That is one of the reason why I am here. I want to inform you that we have a change of plan."

"What do you mean by that?" Charles looked confused.

"We will no longer accept missions." Elle simply said.

"What? So why did you ask me to establish this hide out? Are we changing our career now? From being assassin to a Cafe vendor?" Charles asked her with exaggerated expression.

"No... I think this is the time to collect some debts." A grim expression appeared on Elle's face.

Charles was stunned in a moment after hearing her serious tone. He knew what she was referring to. Charles expression became serious too.

"What are you planning to do?" Charles asked her.

"I am done playing. I will hunt them down one by one. It is payback time! I will uncover the truth about my family's death." he could feel her pain and her rage after saying that.

He would gladly help her with her revenge.

Staying and spending time with Erick's parents, she was reminded of the feeling of warmth of having a family. Meeting them opened up the wound of her past and awaken the furry in her heart.

She was now ready to face her own hell.

"But first, I need to give Dark Knight a lesson for attacking us in the back. What do you think?" Elle said to Charles while grinning. She was playing her dagger on her hand.

Charles was happy to hear that. He also wanted to get his revenge. "I really love your plan Catseye!"
