91. Burner cell
Leon slipped into the stairwell instead of the elevarorThe hit man was wise enough to use service hatch that led underground Instead of going through the stairwell or elevator because of the cameraFire uppression always triggered a security sweepLeon moved with a limp he didn’t bother hidingThe hitman must think he actually won but he had no levarge as Leon had The blade sat heavy in his pocket with the burner phone, that phone could give him the questions he neededAll he had to do was to hack the phone Two floors down, the hospital alarms dulled into distant echoes.Leon pressed his shoulder against the wall and forced his breathing to steadyThe mist had left his lungs burning, despite that his head was clearHe replayed the fight in his mind, it was not just the hitsNot he pain that jolted through his body on every blow but the hesitation of the hitman The hitman had hesitated not out of fear but calculation.“You are not my target” the voice echoed in Leon's head If he
92. Died hours
He straightened up and his smile became colder than before“This time” he murmured “You should have killed me when you had the chance“The corridor outside Tara’s room was no longer quietEverything looked normal, that right there was the problemLeon slowed his steps as his instincts hummedThis was not panic response, it could be a was cleanupHe stopped just short of the doorThe nurse glanced at him, then away too quicklyLeon didn’t confront herHe stepped into the room, the air smelled sterileTara laid still on the bed as the machines hummed softlyHer chest rose and fell. She was aliveLeon let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holdingHe moved closer to the bed Her skin looked paler than before, not dying but certainly not rightLeon’s eyes flicked to the IV lineThen the monitor, then the tray beside the bed.A syringe wrapper, clean and newly opened Leon’s jaw tightenedHe leaned closer, his voice low“Tara” he murmured.No response, she could responded to his voice
93. Too late
“There are concerns” Captain moore spoke “About your proximity to the case” Raina leaned forward “My partner died hours after we cracked it” “The case is now federal” the man added “You are to hand over all notes, recordings, and access” “And if I don’t?” “Then you will force us to question your judgment and your fitness to remain involved at all” The conference room stayed quiet after the words landed She was removed from the case, just like that because of her fitness What bloody fitness? Now federal, hand over everything, when she was so close to getting an answer Where was the federal when she, Detective Harris, Garry and Vince, the two other detectives worked tirelessly to get a lead Raina didn’t blink She looked from Captain Moore to Internal Affairs, then to Legal Then back to the man in the suit, his eyes were cold, no badge and no name “So that’s it?” Raina asked “My partner dies. We crack the case, a possible lead and you shut me out?” Captain Moore
94. A reason
The moment Kendra was out, Raina didn’t wait She walked straight toward Garry “What the hell was that?” she demanded Garry looked surprised “Lower your voice” “You didn’t push her” Raina snapped “You didn’t confront anything” Garry kept his tone calm “This is the route I choose, this isn’t your call anymore.” “She’s lying!” Raina said Garry sighed “Just because she is the company publicist doesn’t make her guilty” “She is guilty, John worked with her!” Raina blurted out before she could stop herself “That’s not in the files” Garry arched his brow “Do your perhaps have proof of these claims?” Raina had nothing, just Leon words. No evidence, nothing “I know the death of Detective Harris is heavy on you right now. This case has nothing to do with emotions-” “There it is” Raina said bitterly interrupting Garry “That word again-tagging it on my emotions” Garry leaned in slightly, not in a threatening way but sympathetic “You are stressed, go home” he said “Get
95. You were warned
As Raina walked out with Garry’s eyes following behind her She didn’t go home instead she went to her office It was almost as if her office was arranged most of her files were gone She opened a drawer, empty. Another, still empty They had just been there last night when she came to get some Raina turned on the desktop to check the soft copy archive but some were cleared out, others locked and restricted Her access code buzzed red when she tried the system DENIED She exhaled slowly They had boxed her in, she was as good as useless in the office if she had no access to any case file Raina stood to her feet as she walked out of the office Just at the hallway she met a lower ranked colleague “Is the chief in her office?” Raina asked “Yes…yes” he replied Raina turned to walk away before even replying As she got closer to the chief’s office all she could think about was everything turning against her Raina entered into the chief’s office and shut the door loudly
96. Welcome, Sir Draven
Leon’s car slid into the underground entrance of OmniPower north division Just above it was one of the country’s five star hotel, Continental Leon owned continental, every profit flowed into his account as the owner He turned around to see Drogo who was still slumped in the back seat, bruised, unconscious Leon didn’t say a word He put the car in park and then turned off the engine The moment he stepped out, the security cameras pivoted, almost like they recognized him The lights above the entrance shimmered and sensors scanned Doors clicked open automatically “Executive clearance confirmed” a smooth, mechanical voice said Drogo groaned and lifted his head as he slowly awoke “What, where are we?” he muttered “Home” Leon replied, dragging him out of the car “Now let’s get you inside” Drogo tried to struggle with his handcuff hands but Leon’s grip was iron on his arm Leon held Drogo firmly by the arm as the both men walked inside The hallway stretched longer than it s

Watching the monitorsDrogo tested the restraints lightly by pulling his hands up They chair was strong and professional, there was no way he could escape from it He smirked faintly, the only thing he could do was comply Gain Leon’s trust, tell him what everything he needed to know and get into his head “So” Drogo said, glancing around “Underground, No street noise. This is a really cool place Omnipower got here”Leon didnt respond Drogo looked around, nodding slowly “Who is the founder of Omnipower, the brain behind this black op is damn good” Leon
98. Audio record
Raina stepped out of the evidence room holding nothingGarry had been too fast to catch up with her before she could lay her hands on any file They had already locked out her access card, she shouldn’t be at the evidence room in the first placeHowever the access card of the colleague she pick pocketed from had granted her access Garry had walked into the evidence room, crashing her plans The hallway felt colder than usualLike the building already decided she didn’t belong anymoreGarry words replayed in her memory “You’ve been through a lot-Losing your husband. Losing your son. Losing your partner. This case…”Raina forced her self to focus on the present She barely made it ten steps before a uniformed security officer blocked her path“Detective Elbert” he said stiffly “You need to leave the premises immediately” Raina blinked slowly “Excuse me?” “Orders from Internal Affairs” he said “If you remain on the floor, I’m authorized to escort you out” Escort? He didn’t even sa
99. Your son pays the price
Raina stepped out of the police building Her heels clicking against the cold concrete Earlier that morning she was entering the building eager for the day work Now she was walking back to her car, suspended from work The parking lot was quiet She slid into her car, slammed the door, and leaned back. Finally, a second to breathe However, she didn’t even take in much of a deep breathe before her phone began to ring She checked the caller ID It was the same number that had called her early that morning when she was having a shower Her blackmailer Raina froze, what did he want now? Something about that tone set her teeth on edge. She answered, with voice calm but firm “I expected you to do better-suspension from my job is all you got? “Detective” the low masculine voice said on the other side, it came smooth, controlled and dangerous Raina’s hands gripped the wheel “Mind telling me your name too?” “Oh, come on now” the voice replied “You know who I
