Harrison sat in Alex's office, the dull hum of the fluorescent lights overheard barely registering in his mind as he focused intently on the flickering screen of CCTV footage.

The grand foyer, adorned with ornate mirrors and expensive art, echoed with an uncanny silence.It felt heavy, like the walls themselves were privy to the things they had just unearthed. Harrison still reeling from the police station visit, could sense the tension in the air, thick and suffocating.His mother, a woman of striking beauty with a sharp, calculating gaze, had earlier dismissed the idea for an escort home.“ There's no use in dragging this out, Harrison. You need to get back to the office”, she stated, her tone clipped and devoid of the usual maternal warmth. She pivoted her heels, Instantly returning to the facade of the composed drug dealer she has always been. Something no one knew except her husband.

With a sense of urgency propelling him, he quickly threw off the covers, the fabric sliding off his body and pooling at the foot of his bed. He swung his legs over the side and planted his feet on the cool floor, feeling the refreshing chill that contrasted sharply with the warmth. His mind was already racing ahead, thoughts swirling like a tempest. He needed to pack some of his necessities—his phone, his wallet, and a change of clothes—all of which he hurriedly stuffed into a small traveling box. “What could be going wrong with the project? I thought we already reviewed it all over again”, The questions gnawed at him, each one more urgent than the last.

You can revisit Ling tomorrow, and we'll take good care of her in the meantime," he said with a reassuring smile.Ling, who had been quietly observing the conversation, stirred and spoke in a weak but clear voice, "Aunt Mei, I've been telling you the same thing. You need to go home and take care of yourself. The doctors and nurses will take care of me."Aunt Mei's expression softens, and she looked at Ling with a mixture of guilt and concern. "But, dear, I want to be here for you," she said, her voice trembling.Doctor Peterson intervened, his tone firm but gentle.

*****Officer Martinez! You can't use force during an interrogation. Let go off him!”, chief Peterson commands, his voice echoing off the walls of the interrogation room. Martinez, still brimming with anger, reluctantly releases Marco, feeling the anger surge through him as he turns away from the table. The gravity of the situation weighs heavily on him; Detective Ling, a respected and well-liked member of their precinct, had endured unimaginable violence.

*****Martinez adjusted his seat to ease his uncomfortability. His eyes became fixed at the chief's eyes.“Chief,” he replies, his tone measured, “it’s best if Leo doesn’t find out. His reaction might not help the case.” Chief Peterson became a little shocked considering Martinez’s words carefully.

The chief had seen Leo’s anger flare when it came to criminals related crimes; it could easily cloud his judgment. “And you think he would go off the rails if he found out?” Peterson asked, curiosity piqued. “Not off the rails, exactly,” Martinez said, his voice dropping slightly as if sharing a secret. “But Leo has a history with Vinnie’s gang. It was his first case and up till ow, he is not able to catch them. More importantly, they hurt people he cares about. If he finds out we have one of them in custody, he might try to confront him directly. That could jeopardize the investigation.” Pet

I haven't seen this side of her before”, Martinez said , stretching the stiffness off his body.After exiting Ling's room, the four of them made their way into the parking lot where Martinez car is being parked. “I parked over here,” he said, taking the lead and gesturing towards the silver sedan nestled among the rows of vehicles.“You’re still the same guy who thinks he can park in the front row because you’re an officer, huh?” joked Leo prompting a laughter that lightens the mood as they followed Martinez.Once in the car, Martinez exchanges glances with Leo.
