An hour after the murder, the agency office where Selena worked became full of police lines and several reporters looking for news. They all gathered in front of the agency to wait for Jesse McLean, as the owner of the agency to clarify what happened in his office. But as if deliberately hiding himself, Jesse McLean seemed reluctant to meet the reporters and he chose to hide in his room while waiting for the results of the investigation team.

Meanwhile, Selena and her teammates immediately moved to evacuate the victims and look for evidence that might still be inside the building. According to the security officers, all the crew on duty today are still inside, and they haven't gone out anywhere except to go to the restaurant, across the street to buy some food. So Selena concluded that the perpetrator of Jessica's murder was still in the office along with the evidence of the murder.

“Daniel, have you found anything regarding the victim's death?” Selena asked while squatting next to

    Lorenzo walked into the cafe after reading the message that had been sent to him a few minutes ago. In the message the sender wants to meet with him to discuss his personal matters which are very urgent. Lorenzo began to enter the cafe looking for table number ten as the messenger had told him. "Did you text me on my cell phone?" Lorenzo coldly called out to a woman who was daydreaming facing the street. "You're finally here. I've been waiting for you since thirty minutes ago." The woman invited Lorenzo to sit next to her with a friendly face that looked friendly. But Lorenzo actually acted the opposite by giving a flat facial expression that looked unpleasant. “So what's the point of you telling me to come here? I hope you're not playing around because I have a lot of work to do right now." “Hi, I'm Carmen Newton. I'm...” “You're Uncle Dave's daughter aren't you?

    “Oh my God, why was I so careless and left my glasses in the model waiting room, when the room must be sterile because Jessica just got killed there. But I have to still take my glasses because I can't see clearly without them." Violet muttered frantically as she stepped alone into the quiet hallway of her office. This afternoon Violet returned to the office where she worked because she forgot her minus glasses that were left on the dressing table. Even though this afternoon the police had put a yellow line around the scene of the murder, but she had no other choice but to take it because it was the only glasses she had. After all, she had already asked the security guard at the front for permission, so she could break through the police line a bit to just pick up the glasses she left behind. Arriving in front of the model waiting room, Violet felt the hairs on her neck stand up. This afternoon the agency was really quiet because all the workers were sent home early because the poli

    Selena and Reene looked together at the main door that Lorenzo had just opened. They had just heard Lorenzo's voice screaming loudly before they heard the sound of Lorenzo's footsteps moving noisily down the hallway of Reene's deserted apartment. Selena and Reene quickly ran forward to see what was going on with Lorenzo, but when they arrived at the door they found a package containing a knife with a red liquid on it. Selena carefully picked up the box and threw it in the trash because she didn't want Reene to be even more frightened by all the things the terrorist had sent to her apartment. Then not long ago Lorenzo appeared out of breath and also an object in his hand. “Hoshh.. I hoshh… found this in front of the fire stairs before that mysterious person ran off somewhere.” Lorenzo showed an earring in his hand to Selena and Reene.

Selena then tried to move her stiff body, but her entire body was currently being tied to a chair and her mouth was also being gagged with a roll of cloth. "She's awake." What happened to me..... Selena stared blankly at the scenery around her which was filled with giant cargo boxes. Then on her right and left she can see men with burly bodies and terrible tattoos guarding her very tightly. “Huuppffftt.” Selena tried to scream at the men to open the gag in her mouth, but they just laughed and slapped Selena's cheek so hard that Selena felt a burning heat radiating around her right cheek. “Shut up! You damn Agent!” “Huupppfftt...” Dugg dugg dugg Selena screamed as she moved brutally on the chair so the men wouldn't mess with her and let her go, but the movement only made her unstable and fell on the floor face down.

    Lorenzo parked his car a bit far from the storage warehouse in Chicago port. According to his men of the mafias he investigated, all this time they had kept the goods they were going to smuggle in one of the warehouses in Chicago port. But when Lorenzo arrived, the warehouse looked empty and almost crumbling with age. There was no sign of anything around the warehouse, and Lorenzo felt that it was completely empty because there was not a single guard around. With definite steps, Lorenzo immediately walked towards the warehouse area while observing the atmosphere around the empty warehouse. Although his heart was very sure that the warehouse was empty, but still he had to tighten his guard for himself because he still didn't want to die in vain in the middle of carrying out his duties. Moreover, he still has a beautiful wife and an adorable handsome son. He's not ready to be replaced by another guy out there!

    Meanwhile in an elite gambling venue in the city of Chicago, Lorenzo disguised himself as a gambler to follow his men who were caught gambling at the venue an hour ago. While playing blackjack, Lorenzo continued to observe the movements of Orlando who was sitting at the second table next to him. An hour and a half ago when he was about to enter the headquarters, he accidentally saw Orlando walking out of the headquarters. Seeing this, he immediately followed Orlando to see Orlando's true identity because he had dared to play with him and lied to him about the existence of the mafia he was after. "Dude, show me your card." Lorenzo slammed his cards on the gambling table with a triumphant grin etched on his face. "I win." Lorenzo also got some bet money from other players, and after that he walked away because he saw Orlando who was starting to leave his seat.

But the man soon turned into a small alley beside the shop and he entered the shop through a side door. Selena who saw this sneaked into the alley and she sneaked into the shop when Orlando had walked in first and he couldn't possibly have sensed her there. "What place is this?" Selena muttered under her breath when she found a bunch of boxes filled with alcohol and chemicals she'd never seen before. Selena is getting deeper walking into the building and she then realizes that the building is actually a storage warehouse for illegal alcohol and also chemicals that don't know what it is used for.

    Since Selena's death, the atmosphere in this place has grown increasingly gloomy. Coupled with the various unpleasant events that occurred at this place. All agents looked less excited than usual. This afternoon I feel empty. Normally we would work passionately with Selena, but right now she's struggling in Las Vegas. Last night I received news that she had passed her critical period, but she had not yet opened her eyes. I hope she wakes up soon and can return to our midst. “Austin...” Brukk Suddenly someone cornered me against the wall and pushed me between the wall and the man. But a few seconds later I immediately realized that the man who was pinning me was our captain, Lorenzo. “Captain, what are you doing?” “Excellent acting Austin. I already know everything.” he said with a cynical laugh etched on his face. I furrowed my brows in disbelief and tried to remain calm in front of him. “You shot me when I was about to stop Jesse McLean, and you acted weird when Selena was tr

    Selena shot Jesse McLean, but unfortunately the bullet missed because Yunho immediately jumped to save Jesse McLean so the bullet only hurt Yuho's leg and also broke a large vas behind them. "Damn it! Look what she's doing now, you're really stupid for still thinking of her as Krystal, she's not Krystal! She will destroy us!” Bang Bang Abraham Cunningham tried to shoot Selena, but Selena managed to dodge and returned Abraham Cunningham's shot at her, but unfortunately the shot missed because Selena shot him not with full focus. "Krystal! Stop all this, you're inside the Bloods main mansion. Right now all the Bloods members are already out there. If you kill any of us, you obviously won't survive because they will surely kill you the moment you step your foot out of this room. If you still want to be with your family, you better obey my orders. Throw that weapon away right now!” Jesse McLean ordered firmly. Selena smiled sarcastically at Jesse McLean and instead put the gun right

    "Halo, where are you?" "That is none of your business." Selena replied curtly at Austin who was calling her. The woman pulled up her car in front of a mini market that was open twenty-four hours to buy something because she was so hungry. But when she was about to get off, she saw a black car that also stopped not far from where it stopped. She canceled her intention to get off and went back into her car to test whether the black car was really following her or not. “That is my business now that you are my fiancé.” Austin replied firmly. Selena snorted in disgusting and prepared to hang up the phone, but Austin's warning tone managed to stop her from pressing the red button on her phone. “Don't even think about turning off your cell phone Krystal Cunningham. I know you're being followed right now." Krystal glanced in her rearview mirror and saw a black sedan that was following her. She then opened the drawer of her car and pulled out a gun that she always kept in there. "Who are

    Mrs. Watson who saw that her son-in-law did not react to the woman whose face was similar to her daughter. She looked at Lorenzo with a confused face. “Mom, Selena has amnesia yesterday. The criminals brainwashed Selena to avenge them on me. They then used Selena to harm her own family, so yesterday she had to shoot Enzo. But now Selena is back. She already remembers everything and wants to make amends for all her mistakes to Enzo." "Really?" Mrs. Watson looked at Selena tearfully while cupping Selena's face full of emotion. And after that she hugged her daughter tightly while sobbing on Selena's shoulder because finally after two years of separation, the two of them were able to meet again. “Selena... Selena, my daughter. You're finally back, sweetheart," said Mrs. Watson sobbed. Selena hugged her mom tightly and she poured out all her longing for her mom.

    "Where's Krystal?" Jesse McLean asked where Krystal was after two days he had to go abroad to solve various problems that occurred in Bloods. "Ms. Krystal since completed her mission to injure captain Lorenzo's son has confined herself to a room, sir," said a man in charge of guarding the Jesse McLean residence. Not long after that Austin appeared casually while biting an apple from the kitchen. "You're just exaggerating. Krystal wasn't that bad, she just locked herself in her room because she was stressed thinking about all the boring things that happened in the headquarters. If I were Krystal, I would definitely do the same.” "Then what about that son of a bitch, did Krystal manage to do well?" Austin shrugged nonchalantly, and unceremoniously walked past Jesse McLean to sit down on the comfortable couch. “Krystal did a great job, the child is currently dying in the hospital. And if you're lucky, maybe the kid is already dead." said Austin casually. Jesse McLean furrowed his

    Selena stood in front of a Chicago hospital with nervousness and fear running through her heart. Yesterday she overheard Austin refer to the Chicago hospital as the place where Enzo was being treated. And now here she was to meet Enzo, Lorenzo, and also her mother. But she was afraid. She was afraid they would hate her and kick her out of here because she almost killed Enzo. “Lorenzo...” From a distance, Selena could already see Lorenzo bending his head to face the floor in the waiting room with a frustrated expression on his face. Next to him stood a woman who was gently stroking her husband's back while whispering words she couldn't hear. "Lorenzo, I'm sorry." Selena sobbed softly from where she was standing in a pitiful voice. She decided to walk closer to Lorenzo so she could apologize to him for all the things she had done to him. "You!" Carmen flinched in surprise as she pointed at Selena who suddenly appeared in front of her. Suddenly, Lorenzo looked up and looked alertly

    “Krystal, are you okay?” Austin looked at Krystal worriedly as he continued to concentrate on the busy street in front of him. Ever since they left Lorenzo's front yard a few minutes ago, Krystal looked dazed and seemed like a lunatic. She repeatedly mumbled words about murder and blood which made Austin even more worried about the woman's condition. “You've done the right thing, you really should have repaid that man's lecherous treatment of you. You're great Krystal," praised Austin while gently stroking the top of Krystal's head. Krystal just stood there and didn't even respond to Austin's words. Right now she was like an undead that looked so terrible. Her face that usually emitted a dangerous killing aura had now turned pale and colorless. The assassination attempt she did a moment ago managed to shake Krystal's soul for some reason. Could something have happened to her? "Austin, I want to go home." Krystal said slowly. Austin nodded his head while heaving a sigh of relief b

    "Krystal! My Krystal!” Jesse McLean and Yunho greeted Krystal with a feeling of relief when the woman walked with a haughty face into the living room of her grandfather's main house, Abraham Cunningham. "Where have you been? I have been looking for you since yesterday." "Don't worry boss, Krystal is safe." Austin suddenly appeared from the front door and made everyone present shriek in surprise. "Austin, you're still alive," said Jesse McLean in disbelief. Austin nodded his head slightly at his boss and smiled proudly at all the Bloods members in the main house. "I managed to get out of my car and jump into the Chicago River." “But how could the rescue team not be able to find you?” Yunho asked openly. He was initially very sure that Austin would not be able to survive, now seemed very curious about what Austin had done to survive the death that was about to take him. “I hid and managed to get out of the river before the rescue team went down the river to look for my body.
