"Are you sure it's this place?" Saint asked Gabrielle as they stood in front of what looked like an abandoned house. It still had a few parts of it intact but the surroundings were rough and on a normal day, no one should be able to inhabit the house. "I did my research well, brother. I trailed him for three days, you would have thought I was a spy." "Well, that was expected of your role as a journalist."Gabrielle rolled her eyes and pushed Saint forward. They got to the door and the horrifying smell that hit them was just too unbearable that they both had to spit out at different places. "Gosh, this place smells awful." Gabrielle voiced out and knocked on the door. Saint bit his tongue, calculating something in his head before it clicked. "Step back." He instructed her and Gabrielle obeyed at once without questioning him. He hit the door with force that it only took once to break it down. Dust filled the air as the wooden door wasn't strong in any way. What they

Simon stepped into the penthouse cautiously with Mike a step ahead of him, gesturing toward the living room. Saint rose from the couch as they entered with his mask secured in place. "Officer Simon, thank you for coming." "Thank you for the invite. Nice to meet you uh..." he eyed Saint's appearance, finding it completely weird that he was wearing a mask. "You can call me Storm." "Storm, thank you for getting me my job back." Simon's tone remained guarded, though genuine gratitude colored the words. Storm nodded, "You are welcome. Actually, I didn't do it. The person responsible for it is not here right now. He is Mike's brother." "Oh, okay." "You can still consider it a professional courtesy." Saint gestured toward the seating area. "Please, have a seat."Simon lowered himself onto the couch, glancing briefly toward Mike who settled nearly with poorly concealed eagerness. "I understand you are not interested in associating yourself with organizations l

CHAPTER 54.******HIS FAMILIAR TOUCH (2)Saint stopped and looked into Nicolas's eyes before stepping back. "What is it? You don't like it?" Nicolas asked him concernedly and Saint shook his head. "It's not that I don't like it but we can't...this is not right." "Can you just stop saying that already? It's becoming annoying." Nicolas replied with a scowl. “You don't understand!” Saint turned around and left the bathroom but Nicolas wasn't going to let this slide. He rushed out and grabbed Saint's hand and this turned into a fight with Saint trying to break free from his hold. "Are you mad, Nicolas? What is wrong with you?" He shouted at him after managing to release his hand. Before he could take one more step towards the door, Nicolas was already there in a jiffy. He grabbed the keys, twisted it twice, locked the door, pulled it out once and threw it across the room. Saint stopped, his eyes following the movement of the keys that were now far from the both of

CHAPTER 56.******ALEZ. "Now I am really so curious to know why you are in a good mood." Gabrielle said immediately Saint parked the car. They both got out and she wore her sunglasses. "Why are you concerned about that?" "I don't know. I feel the shift in your energy. Let me guess. Something good happened between you and your soon-to-be brother-in-law?" Saint frowned, "Don't call him that." "Well, that is the truth."Gabrielle kept talking until they walked up to the porch of a house and knocked on the door a few times before it was finally answered by a woman. She eyed them. "Yes? Who are you? What do you want?" "Hello ma'am. I am Gabrielle and this is my friend, Sai...Storm. We would like to speak to you about Elena Voss please." The moment Gabrielle mentioned Elena's name, the woman's hand tightened on the frame as though bracing to slam it shut. "I have nothing to say to either of you. I don't know who that is." Her voice trembled though her eyes carried

"...the leaked recording has sent shockwaves through the city, with the voice allegedly belonging to mayoral candidate Peter Halloway heard threatening a journalist, demanding she reveal who sent her to ask about a woman named Elena Voss. Mr. Halloway's campaign has issued a statement denying all allegations, calling the recording, quote, 'a fabricated smear campaign designed to derail his candidacy.' Meanwhile, sources close to the investigation continue uncovering disturbing details about Halloway's relationship with Voss, who vanished without a trace twenty years ago. Many are now asking whether Halloway himself holds the key to what actually happened to her..." The television clicked off abruptly with Commander Reyes's thumb still pressed against the remote. His expression twisted into barely restrained fury as he turned to face Simon. "You want to explain this to me? How did the recording get leaked? Didn't I warn you not to do something as stupid as this?" "I didn't l
