LOGINDETECTIVE JOE POV The final statement of Chief Johnson became my fuel that reignited my passion for this case. Leaving the Chief office, I moved straight to the database unit. I hope everything works in my favour. "Detective Joe", a man by the door of the database unit called out to me. "Yes!""We expected your visit as the Chief informed us on your visit", he said while opening the door signalling me to go inside. "It's ok, let's get straight to business", I said while moving past him. He nodded as I moved in with expectations. The unit was incredibly large in space which was used properly. Given a seat, I knew the business of the day was just beginning. I was asked for a file report of that day which I provided. Since the names of the officers were boldly written in the report, he began inputting their name to the system. This was to check the authentication of their names which might pull out the mole eventually. After a while, the man mentioned that all names there are real o
DETECTIVE JOE POVThis discovery is not really shocking to me since we are in an organization that trust can fail anytime. I have encountered this before when I was still a newbie in this department. The difference here is that I wasn't involved in the investigation process. Currently, I don't know what to do since I don't know who to trust again in the organization. I think I have to follow my heart during this investigation. First, I have to look out for the men in operation during the failed mission. If I can remember vividly, I was with 6 men. That's enough information for my search since the number wasn't much. I couldn't continue anything without consulting the consent from the Police Chief. He hasn't been around this period due to an engagement he had. Fortunately for me, he was in his office, so I went straight to business. After a soft knock, he gave the permission to enter his office. The office was nothing less than an gallery of awards and recognitions as his works durin
LUCAS POV For Benta's & Co, it was a good day since the investor happened to sign a deal with us. She was supposed to take the clause home for further examination by her but it wasn't the case. She sat there and looked through her clause and even called her legal team to the company immediately. For me, I didn't want to say anything as she was in a type of mood I've never seen before when it comes to investors. She was different in her own ways. After her legal team found her clause to be impressive and best for someone of such personality, they endorsed it for her. There, I signed the contract with her and she was happy for doing that like everyone in the Benta's & Co. The happiness didn't last long for me as the previous case pressed on to me again. The company has a new investor and is secured in its net worth compared to others in the field. But Kayla is locked up there and the chance of her well-being is unknown since I haven't had any chance of seeing her. This thought affect
KAYLA POV "Will this confined space become my permanent residence?" This question was one that pop up every single hour while enduring the pressing loneliness in that room. At times, I wondered if the colour of the sun has changed because I've seen it in what I can call ages. I woke up and discovered that my legs are just pacing around the room for no reason. Most of the time, I do wonder if I was the wrong person mistaken for this job but it seems I'm the person they're looking for. Day after day, they bring in supplies in foods, change of clothes but I'm not permitted to see the sun in first person perspective. While thinking deep and still pacing around, the door yanked opened violently. From behind, the two half masked men I do see came in but they walked someone else. In their midst, a man with dark clothing and full on dark mask moved in too. His presence at that moment was filled with unspoken aura. With that, I calculated that this is their supposed Boss. They moved in gen
LUCAS POV Entering through the gate, I felt the surge of uneasiness as if I'd entered an uncharted ground. Benta's & Co was like my second home as I had an unexplained peace when I passed from the gate to my office properly. But, I just felt off and I can't tell why. Raymond drove smoothly to my allotted parking lot which he parked the car perfectly. I hesitated for a while before coming down from the car. I picked my phone and work tab from the car which happens to be my favorite luggage while going to the office. I left the parking lot while moving through the reception. The workers around greeted me with both words and gestures which I responded to some and couldn't with others since it was numerous. At the end of the reception, I took the elevator which took me to my office floor. In no time, I located my office and moved in quietly. Looking at Kayla's office, it was empty but clean. The grief I was avoiding for a while came back fully. It felt like my body weight was too heav
LUCAS POVThere might be a light at the end of this dark tunnel. Installing a secret cam on the street was underrated but not for me in this situation. Detective Joe came to the scene with a paid cab, so he will be returning with me in my car. That wasn't a big deal I guess, so our destination will be the New York Police department. Raymond began the journey as it was just silent. I had to use that opportunity to check on the company through my phone. Simultaneously, Jasper called immediately and I had to answer such a call. He told me of a big investor coming in and I had to be present for a presentation. I asked about the preparation concerning the presentation and he said everything has been settled. With that, I assured him that I'll be available later in the day while I end the call. Back to reality, Detective Joe was just sitting quietly and I decided not to break the decorum. The journey was a bit slow due to morning rush. But we arrived at the station where Detective Joe cam
