I could not stay in that room any longer.

I waited until it was possible to leave without it being obvious, until the dinner had moved into its later stages and people were deep enough in their own conversations that one person slipping out would not register.

Then I picked up my bag, excused myself quietly to the person beside me, and walked out.

The corridor outside the dining hall was cool and much quieter.

My heels were loud on the tiled floor as I walked toward the main entrance, and I p

    “What is the new plan?” Elena's voice awoke something strange in me, driving me to pick up my device immediately. I dialed the contact of my team leader, quickly giving him a new order.“Know the famous restaurant close to the hospital premises?” I asked, and he replied in the affirmative. “Inform your team about this new order. Find your way to the restaurant. It's Alex's next destination.”As soon as he heard that, he paid more attention to my words. He must have continued a quiet search on Alex's exact location before I gave him a ring. The way his curiosity increased when I spoke about his next destination was undeniable.“Check every entry and exit way,” I ordered. “Make sure there is no way unfamiliar to you. Monitor the spots where the security cameras are placed and keep everything recorded and monitored.”“Noted, boss,” he responded over the phone. “I will inform every member of my team to show up and get this done.”As soon as he mentioned those words, I ended the call and d

    I averted my gaze from the screen of the computer system where the flash drive was inserted to check the files in it.How could Alex possess such files in a flash drive privately kept in his office?Perhaps I should praise Marcus and his team’s intelligence to fetch that from his office instead of asking questions that no one had answers to.As I sat back down, some steps away from Marcus and his computer system, my phone gave a shrill ring, interrupting the thoughts that were disrupting the peace of my mind. It sat on the chair placed next to mine. I picked it up and my gaze dropped when I saw the name of the caller.I stared at the screen for a couple of seconds as my voice calmly came forth, inviting Dominic to take a look.“Alex,” I called gently as Dominic reached me, staring at the screen as well. The same shocked expression was on our faces, but he controlled it better than I did.“Take a deep breath.” He pulled the chair closer to me, sitting. “Take the call and put it on loud

    As soon as Dominic ended the call, he cleared his throat and shared the feedback with us.“They couldn't find Alex in his office,” he said, his gaze roaming over Elena's face, studying her reaction to his words like he needed it to determine his next decision. “They searched some other places in the hospital, but they didn't find him.”Elena gently slapped her forehead, averting her gaze to keep her mind sane. If anything wanted this process to be sped up, it would be Elena.Dominic's mind felt busy until his eyes met mine. He nodded slowly before walking towards me. His right palm rested on my shoulder as he gave me an instruction.“Go ahead and search Alex's office,” he said. “Go with some of your men. Make sure you search everything in his office.”I held his gaze as he said those words, my mind registering the details of the mission.“Make sure you find something,” he said, dropping his palm from my shoulder as he walked towards Elena. “Anything that connects to Alex should not be

    I carefully watched his lips part, uttering the answer we had been expecting to hear for a long time.“Alex.” He confirmed the name. “I assure you—he is the one who sent me.”My stomach lurched at the sound of that name. I shifted my attention to Elena, whose face was filled with worry. She definitely knew who he was referring to. Her mind must have been toggled with mixed emotions.I could only shake my head and pretend to be unaware of her emotional imbalance. I heaved a deep sigh to calm the tension in my head as I turned to the members of my team.“Find Alex.” I ordered. “Right away.”They glanced at one another's faces before stepping out of the room. My mind swirled with thoughts of the possible outcomes of this task I had just assigned to them. But I couldn't stand and watch everything stay stagnant. I needed to move forward. We needed to.I leaned on the wall as I watched the team members step out of the room. I hoped in my mind that this would go as planned, just as we were a

    I rubbed my palms against each other, heaving a quiet breath to steady my mind as I approached the room. The door was closed and the path to the room was quiet, but I was deeply relieved that the attacker had now been caught. Dominic was definitely the smart guy. The plan worked out just as we hoped it would. His team was also pretty swift and they caught him before he could escape at all. Adrian must be really excited to see the face of the attacker after losing the fight to him the last time they crossed paths. The door opened just as I grabbed the doorknob. I saw Dominic sitting in front of the attacker and Adrian sitting next to him, closer to the window side. And then Dominic's team stood behind the attacker, ready to attack him if he tried to do anything funny. “Has he said anything yet?” I asked, the door clicking shut behind me as I walked towards Dominic, spotting the blood on the face of the man. “No, he hasn't.” Dominic whispered back. It felt like everyone had been com

    “Shit!” he cursed as I smashed his face on the wall.“Lock him up. I'll be with you in a minute,” I said to the leader of my team and he gave a brave nod, seizing the attacker as I left the room.They did a great job bringing him safely to this private location. This room was specifically built for cases like this. I couldn't be happier with the news of catching him red-handed.It felt like I was on top of the world. I widened my arms to the sky, believing someone up there gave courage to my men to get the work done smoothly and smartly.After some moments, I returned to the room. The members of the team were armed and ready to smash his skull on the ground if he tried to make any silly move, while the leader of the team stood in front of him, sitting on a chair.He stood up as soon as he saw me walk in, and I gave a soft smile at the way his face was filled with expressions of disappointment and failure. He believed he was the smartest person on the surface of the earth and thought E

    The drive back was quiet.Not the comfortable kind of quiet that sometimes settled between Elena and me after a long evening. This was the kind that had weight to it. She was sitting in the passenger seat with her face turned toward the window and her bag in her lap and her hands folded over it,

    The dinner was at the Meridian, which meant the usual crowd.Old money and new money in the same room, pretending they had always been comfortable with each other. Hospital directors and research heads sitting alongside the kind of businessmen who wrote cheques large enough to put their names on b

    I was at the hospital by seven thirty.Not because my shift started that early. It started at nine. But the apartment had felt too small that morning and Maya had still been asleep and I had not wanted to sit at the kitchen table with my thoughts for another hour and a half, so I had dressed quiet

    The three of us were standing in a triangle and the space between us felt very small.The sponsor had already quietly removed himself, which I was grateful for, because the tension coming off both Adrian and Dominic was enough to manage without adding a third person to it. Around us the party cont
