Avery, Caden, Janet, and Andy stood on the soft, golden sands of the beach. Waves lazily crashed onto the shore, creating a calming music of nature. The sun had only begun to rise, and long shadows extended up to them, who were huddled together as the sea breeze of morning was chilly.All of them were waiting for Agent Minho and his team to arrive. Yesterday, when Caden called Minho, an old friend that he befriended while handling a crime case at the company, Minho had agreed to help him at once. Apparently, Minho and his team were on a break after a mission so they could easily come and help Caden out.Caden, whose frame glowed to the morning sunlight that bathed him, checked his wristwatch. It was about time Minho and his team landed. Caden was sure Minho could get to the bottom of this mystery while keeping him and Avery intact from harm. And he was finally meeting his old friend after a long time. Anticipation was real.“How long do you think it will take for them to come here?”J

Avery stared at Bright, fear evident in her eyes but Bright just tsked his tongue and looked at Minho.“I know who did this. It is the same person who tried to kill Avery.”His words were laced with a heavy accent, making it almost impossible for Caden to understand but it seemed Minho had no problem in understanding because the Agent replied so casually to Bright while he examined Dr. Taylor’s body along with Veron.“How did you know?”“The man had a blood-dripping knife in his hand.”Avery seemed to register what Bright said this time because she also spoke with a shaky voice.“I also believe he was the one who killed Dr. Taylor but then how was he already at the resort with a blood-dripping knife if it was now he killed the doctor?”“The doctor was killed at least thirty minutes before. His body is already starting to grow cold.”Veron interjected and that was when Minho looked at shaking Avery sympathetically before saying,“The man must have killed Dr. Taylor before coming to kil

“Calm down, George. You are high and you don’t know what you are doing. Put the gun down.”Khama said trembling but George started to laugh maniacally before he shot to the air two more times before cocking the gun and pointing it to Khama once again.“WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE DRUGS?”This time George’s voice was getting lower in octaves with each word he spoke and Caden and Avery could clearly see this was not going on the right way.“Bright, do something.”Caden muttered but all Bright did was clench his jaws before slowly shaking his head. There was clearly something on the boy’s mind.“You don’t want to die from overdose, George. This is getting out of hands so I burned them.”“You burned the drugs? Don’t damn lie to me! You won’t burn them!”George shot the first bullet to Khama’s hand and Khama screamed as he held his hand and bent to the floor. Avery’s scream filled the entire area as she closed her ears with her hands and Caden hugged her tightly as he muttered,“It’s all right,

Andy stepped back and held Janet’s hand before covering her behind him. Janet turned to the other side and took a pole of lamp shade handed over to her by one of the colleagues and handed it over to Andy. Hearts were racing as the killer tilted his head and walked toward the dead woman on the floor.He bent and took the knife that was stabbed on the back of her neck, making blood sprout out. Andy knew what was coming next. The man’s eyes were fixed on Janet, who was the only defenseless person among them, not even a pillow in her hand. That was why Andy held Janet’s hand tightly and looked at the man challengingly.The killer’s eyes shifted from Janet to Andy as his eyes burned fiercely as if he wanted to tear Andy into pieces. The next moment, he charged at Andy with a knife and Andy didn’t think a second before raising his pole and hitting the head of the killer right before he could stab him.Just then, two gunshots were heard from downstairs that everyone screamed and jumped on th

Three weeks later...It has taken a while for all the members of Aurora Airlines to calm and settle down their minds after what happened. But now, everyone has started to forget about what happened on the island. Work has resumed as usual, and Avery was coming back from her first flight in Aurora Airlines. She landed the plane not two minutes ago, and right now, she was going back to Aurora headquarters.Ever since they came back from the Team Building Retreat, Avery had been keeping herself busy. Because every time she was free, she would get reminded of the traumatic incidents from the island. But one thing was sure, she had gotten a lot closer with Andy and Janet while she grew extremely close to Caden. Now that there was nothing holding them back from loving each other, they had been quite open about their feelings. There were no labels yet, but both of them knew what it was. They talked every night, though they barely met each other due to their schedules and all the hours the
