•A MAN OF HOPE•
"It's been almost a week but the case we're involved is still a work in progress, what are we going to do now? I'm starting to get bored and I'm hungry. I wish I could have almonds and cashews as a snack." Alexis groans while daydreaming about foods while literally holding a McDonald's burger in his hands.
"First, a case usually last longer if it needs a lot of details to decode. Second, you were not told to stay and wait for the case to be solved to act. And third, you just ate a jumbo fries, pancake and eggs, you already had a couple cup of coffee and a couple of burgers, you're eating another right now and it's only 2 in the afternoon. No wonder how you suddenly bloated like a balloon after five years of not seeing you." Rig pointed out while lying on his hospital bed with his eyes closed, relaxing himself and still waiting for his moment to discharge.
"How did you know that? I've been here f
•A MAN THAT DOESN'T TRUST•"Any updates about McMarrow?" Collin seriously asked Detective Won who comes to visit him at the apartment that he rented while they're still in search for a house that he could buy, with his budget."No, he's still at the same place. Lori Payne has been giving us the crumbs of his trails. We're all good, but we keep the team ready in case something breaks through. I know that he has his men to do the deeds he has to do while he's in his hibernation. We should always be cautious." Detective Won reported to him, referring Klyde to a dormant volcano that sleeps for a long time and when he got the chance to present himself, he will let out his steam and eventually make his explosion bigger and an eye opener for everyone to see how powerful he is."Lori Payne, has she really on our side? She might be doing what she really are. She might turn her back on us. She used to help Klyde with his
•A MAN OF DISCRETION•Finley's sitting at the kitchen, eating her carbonara that was supposed to be her dinner yet instead she's eating it a little earlier than their dinner. Pouting her lip because she failed to come going to Rig which intentionally just to see him and to squeeze some details about the case which she didn't have any. She felt so bad not knowing what might happen to her family, she wants to get involve with the plan because at the very start, she's been involved."That's an early dinner." Dolora commented, heading to the sink of the kitchen to wash the milk bottles."Yeah, I'm starting to think that my ankles are fat." She muttered lazily while chewing the pasta.Dolora chuckled. "I think otherwise, you lost weight rather than gaining, Fin." She replied, putting water inside the kettle and put it on the stove. "You know that you can tell me whatever's bothering you, yeah?"
•A MAN THAT NEVER MISSES HIS CHANCE•Rig folds all his clothes inside a black bag while Alexis is watching him while eating, that's what's happening inside the room when Detective Won entered."Alex, you should be helping Rig doing that." Detective Won chided him as he closes the door behind him."He insisted to do it, Detective. Besides, the blessings in front of you, it's better not to make it wait. It's bad!" He stated as if it's a fact while gesturing his hands on the vittles in front of him.Detective Won exasperated to his reply and just decided to help Rig who's chuckling. "It's okay, Detective besides, I'm gonna have to stretch my body. I've been lying on the bed for three months. Don't you think it's time for me to move?" He smiled at him and zipped the bag."The doctor said that you're going to need rest, your bones will take time healing. It's bones you broke
•A MAN OF KEEPER•Most of everyone is in panic, but half of them remained calm. The whole precinct is just as chaotic as it was. Included them is Walker who's trying to connect his call with Detective Won for the 9th time in which he didn't succeeded."Why the hell can't I reach that little monstrous cop?" He grunts as he dialed his number for the hundredth time. And that's when footsteps coming in from outside. "Oh goodness! When do you plan on answering your phone?!" He scolded Detective Won as he ended the unanswered phone."What the hell are you saying?" Detective Won growled."Okay! Okay! Chill, we found her. She's still with Klyde McMarrow, she said that Klyde McMarrow thinks that she's teaming up with them. And all we have to do now is to just be stealth and keep our quiet tracks following them." Walker grinned at him with his free hand on his hip.Detective Won
•A MAN OF SECURITY•Outside the academy there's Rig waiting in a shed, eyes are on the group of high school students coming out of the gate. Lots of brunette coming out of the school but none of them is who he've been looking for."Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to question you but who are looking for? This is the first time I saw you here." The security guard of the school asked him.Rig pulled his badge and showed it to the guard. "I'm an FBI agent and there's a possible case that could happen here. I'm afraid I could not share it to you."The guard of the school took a step back and swallowed while looking at his badge. "Sorry, officer. Uhm-- anything I could help you?" The guard scratching his tummy with a unity of abs. His paunch is not that big but it's quite noticeable from his dark blue and black uniform."Yeah, do you know a student here named--"
•A MAN OF TWO•"Speak." That's the word that came out of Lucy's mouth the moment they entered Rig's apartment."Can we settle down the things first here before we get there? Please?" He gave her the stare he used to do to her which she usually shrugs off."No, Ricochet. I want you to explain everything to me and I mean now." She stubbornly replied to her, still holding onto the bag she clutches.Rig turns his head to Judy, seeing her looking around at his house full of Invisible decorations. All he has in his house is a pair of two seater couch with no coffee table. A flat screen TV that he haven't use ever since he bought it. A shoe rack that only has a couple of pairs of flip flops. A guitar displayed hanging on the wall and the rest is just as plain as who he is."Kitchen." He muttered to her, pointing at the hallway that leads to the white, neat and clean kitchen of

He's coming back and he's far worse than he already was, for he has the face to show. A new one, for he's about to bring another tragic event to the world of his victims.But is it his happy crazy ending will be the end of it?
•IN WHICH HE COMES BACK AGAIN•Holding a mirror in his hands, he scans his face, looking new and feeling so glad for himself, seeing him having a face once again, not the burnt face that he held looking at for years."In some months, you can finally move the muscles. But for now, the nerves are still in process of healing, so try not to move much." His surgeon Doctor Lee Jangjun advised him, pushing the center of his eyeglasses closer to his eyes with his forefinger."You're the best, Doc. I liked it." He let out a throaty chuckle."It's a bit swollen, on the stitched sides. I'll be giving you the medicines to take. You can ask the nurses at the station for the prescription, they'll give it to you together with the meds." Doctor Lee smiled at him."Doc Lee gave his best, right boss?" One of his men who's sitting at the couch commented.He hummed as

He asked the former Detective and squats beside him while holding a 45 caliber gun in his hand and suck a breath, trying to be a psycho as who he is. "Aren't you scared of me? I'm alive, awoo!!"

"You know I'm watching my favorite show, drinking my favorite scotch, sitting on my favorite couch and inside my favorite safe house. Now I get to see someone who's not in my favor of seeing."

Joshua Brenner sits adjacent to Finley hamilton that dressed herself decently for a formal dinner he invited her for."It's nothing, besides I have no schedule for tonight." She smiled at him and straightened her posture. "So, what kind of proposal do you actually have in mind to offer?" She "formally" asked him.Joshua has his hands t above the table, veiled with a thick table fabric. The light is dimmed, enough for a comfortable, cozy, relaxing atmosphere of this fancy restaurant they are in.

Have you already forgotten you have a famiky to come home to in this house? I mean, do you still remember that you still know that this house is your home and not that precinct?"Lucy started nagging at him the moment Rig stepped into the main door. Looking so tired and badly needing food to consume and a hug and a welcome wagon of kisses and somebody who can ask if how his day was or if be wishes to get his head a nerve calming massage.
