CHAIN's POV
"Fuck!" Someone screamed when I bumped into him.
"Sorry I didnt see-"
"Cant you look where youre-" We stopped when we both looked up and saw each other. We stared at each other. I know him.
"You?" He took his earphones off. I saw an annoyed and confused expression at the same time.
"Got a problem with that, Coop?" I smirked.
"Aw, Dont fucking call me that!" He cringed.
"I see that dad still hasnt taught you manners. All these expensive crap on you and you still act like shit." I looked him dead in the eye.
"Oh, So what are you doing here? You want
CHAIN's POV "Chain, Just breathe." Mhorein has been trying to calm me down for the past few minutes. Im pretty sure Im having a panic attack thinking that Im going to be surrounded by these people again. "I cant, Mhorein." I said with my voice shaking. I gritted my teeth and glared at myself in the mirror. One, two, three more splashes of water on my face. I clenched my fist and hit it on the sink. "Chain Yuan Castranuevo." Such a stern tone but I felt my heart beat slowly going back go normal. Mhorein held both of my hands and looked me in the eye. Something about her made me feel like the fear and anger is slowly leaving my body.
CHAIN's POV "Mhor? Why are you still up?" Tonight is our last night here since tomorow is Kalyan's birthday. Since our chaos at dinner, Both me and Cooper tried to avoid each other as much as possible. Of course, A couple of purposely bumping into each other and death stares were unavoidable but nothing more than that. "Im just looking up the coordinates that they gave us." I looked at the clock, It's 1:53 A. M. "Oh my god... How did they know?" She had her hand covering her mouth, Eyes widened. "What? What did you find?" She handed me her phone. Even I got confused when I saw where it was.
MHOREIN's POV "We're here." We pulled up outside a huge venue with all sorts of lights and decorations. The doors were again opened for us. Chain and I stepped out of the car and in the red carpet. People started whispering and staring at us in awe. We smiled when cameras flashed. "Didnt remember you were this big of a deal." I whispered to him. "Me neither." Media had it's eyes on the Castranuevo's ever since I knew Chain. It was a big gossip when Chain moved out, So now it's a bigger scoop that he's back. "Detectives- Oh sorry, sorry. Mr. Castranuevo, Ms. Agustin." Aiden winked at us when we met him at the entrance of the venue. "Shut up." Chain chuckled.We entered the place and my eyes immediately roamed around. It was gorgeous. Not to mention the fact t
MHOREIN's POVI took a spoon and tried the dish. I reached for the salt when I decided it needed atleast a pinch more.The song playing on the background was replace by my ringtone. I turned off my stove before I washed my hands and answered the phone."Mhor.""Chain? You called?" I asked."I'll send the address.""It's 10:15 in the evening, Chain. We'll do it tomorrow or something.""It's murder." Chain said with a serious and stern voice."Ill be on the way...""Bye." I dropped the call. I entered my room and changed pants. I took the keys and rushed out the door.I entered the elevator and was greeted by a smiling face. Katherine."Kath! Hey!""Hey, It's late. Did someone die?" I nodded.
MHOREIN's POVI made pancakes and sausages. Once it was finished I prepared a plate, spoon and a fork. I sat and was ready to eat when someone knocked. "Mhor!" "Detective!" I frowned when I heard Chain and Aiden's voices.I stood up and opened the door. "Good morning, Honey." Chain smiled. "Do you not want me to eat?" I sarcastically asked. "Just eat, We'll join you." Aiden said, Smiling. Chain and Aiden helped themselves in. "Wow." I said as I followed them. When I arrived at the kitchen they were already sitting down, Both having plates in front of them "What are you doing here? I thought you'd call me?" I asked.
MHOREIN's POV "Let's go." I ordered. Lemuel led the way as we followed. Lemuel stopped in front of a faded metal door. Aiden bumped into me when I suddenly stopped. "Ouch." I heard him whisper. Lemuel opened the door and a loud creaking sound echoed through the empty hall. "I'll leave you here detectives. There are staffs lurking around this area. You can call them in case of an emergency." He said. "Thank you." He nodded and left.A deadly stench made the three of us cough. "What the hell is that smell?" Aiden

"Get ready. We're gonna start today." He said, Voice altered by a mic on his neck tie. The room was dark, the people around his couldnt see his face. "Boss, Aren't you scared?" "Why would I be? They're just careless movie detectives who overlook things. To them this is a money game." He sipped his wine and licked his lips. He nodded. "Leave them a note this time. A little code." He ordered.MHOREIN's POV "Detective Tyler, Good Morning." I greeted him as we strode towards the entrance of the police station.We quickly entered the police station.

MHOREIN's POV ''You win this time... "His words echoed in my mind once again. It's been days but I still have a strong gut feeling that Mori Grey is hiding something. He has an agenda and It involves getting rid of us.I looked at the clock. It's 8:34 A.M.Chain's half sister prepared a whole week for us to stay at a hotel resort only reserved for family and close friends before the actual debut. "Hon, Are you ready?"

MHOREIN's POV "The theatre is near the cinema." Mr. Dela Fuena said. I know that theatre. It's not too far. "Chain, Aiden. Let's go." Chain stopped me. "We cant take cases like this. We dont work for Inspector Arcilla anymore. We work under agency policies now." "Oh... They already told you." Aiden stared at the floor. "But we have to-" "I'll call the office." Chain cut me off. I cant believe he's doing this. "Chain... Dont. Please." I looked at Aiden. "I still wanna work with you guys. They dont have to know." Chain sighed when
MHOREIN's POVWe're quietly sitting at the third row of one of the rooms in a funeral home. In the middle of the hall is an ash gray porcelein jar containing the remains of Inspector George Arcilla and a huge photo of him surrounded by different types of flowers. Around us are half of the office and agency, his fsmily and friends.Including me, Chain and Aiden. Knowing Aiden for a while, I have never seen him so devastated. With dark circles under his puffy eyes, messy hair and rough facial hair. He's been assisting Inspector Arcilla's family with the wake and other arrangements. I get how he feels. Aiden had known Inspector Arcilla even before we worked together. He used to mention how the Inspector treated him like a son when he was just a trainee and before he was assigned to work with us. Aiden developed a fatherly bond with him since Aiden's father died years ago. "Would you guys w
MHOREIN's POVI sat down and looked at Chain in disbelief. I can barely proccess what's happening. This woman almost put my life in danger. If Chain didnt find me with multiple other people trailimg behind him, They couldve killed me. And now they want us to save her? The bitterness I felt in my heart rose again after all these years.I felt like her life is in my hands. Like she had mine years ago. "Mhor, Collect yourself. You need to think about this. Do we wanna be the ones to save her?" Chain asked me. "No, Chain! Of course not! I want her to be killed brutally! I want her to burn in hell!" But deep inside, I knew that if she dies and I didnt do anything to help even when I could've, I would live on to carry the burden of knowing that someone died because of me.My brows furrowed when I remembered that email.

"We called you here, Detectives to inform you that youre limited from now on. We've heard about the issue including CM and we decided to let other detectives handle it." I looked at them, Confused. "Since the death of Inspector Arcilla you are currently under my supervision." Lieutenant Gray said. "And Aiden, Unfortunately, Cannot work with you anymore. Aiden is now assigned to Inspector Roswell from Lezran." "Lezran?! You cant do that! That's a city away!" I objected. "Well, You signed a contract." Miss Prina looked at us.
