Chapter 27: Demon Inside Me

I took a deep breath and looking at my surrounding. This place never be the same again. After she left, this place will never be the same. "Your tea is ready, Alexa. Do you..."

I grabbed the cup, but it spilled "Shit."

"Alexa, are you okay?" Cecilia rushed to cleaned my mess. "I told you to do nothing!" I'm helping her to clean up my mess. "Hey," I'm looking at her.

"I'm... sorry for your chief, Lexa. The walls were thin, remember?" I'm nodding my head. She helps me to sits and leaned my back on my wheelchair, then put a strap on my waist. She's here, that means, I'm in her surveillance.

"I can walk, Cecil..."

"No. You will go to the back alley again, Lexa! Why you've... done that to yourself!? Is that because of your job?!" She asked.

I took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm sorry, I just..." Cecilia stroked my hair. "Everything I've been through... It's just overwhelmed me." She pulled me closer and surround her arms on my waist.

She lets go of her hug. "Let's... we hang out." I'm nodding my head. Maybe I just... need to grief and accept all of what happened into my life.

"Can you..."

"No!" I sighed. She pulled my wheelchair. I support my chin with my hand. "Seems like you... bored. What's wrong?"

I straightened my body and looked at her. "Seriously? My hand injured, not my legs. Can you... let me standing on the ground?" I'm looking at her. "I'm not asking for more." She sighed and let me stand, by unattached the strap.

"Where we're going?" She looked at me.

[Cherry sent a message: I saw that lady cop inside your house. Maybe... you need time, Lexa. Get well soon!]

I'm looking at her car. "You... change your color?" She's nodding her head.

[Alert! Someone tried to access your bank account. Clicked this message if you want to proceed to the next step, please clicked this message.]

Argh... scammers. I took a deep breath and sighed. "Can we... stop by at the bank?" Cecilia furrowed her brow.

"Which bank?" She asked.

"Red Sentinel one." I heard beeping sound from her car. She rolled her eyes, sighed. I guess... I should go there by myself. "It's fine, Cecil. You can... catch up after you done." She gets inside her car, then turned on the engine.

She rolled down the window. "Activate your GPS, so I can pinged you." I'm smiling and nodding my head.

"Don't worry, I will not do crazy thing." She's nodding her head and goes to the crime scene. Now... I will hunt who was dare with me.

I kicked him and he falls to the ground. "You're... an agent, right?!" I pulled his hair and slammed his head to the wall next to me.

"She has right to caught you, Sam. She has a case." Thanks, Nemo. I took a deep breath and sighed.

"So..." I scrolled through his iPad. "You made... 5 mill per year, just... send that link. Do you know Nemo, our operation... already damaged because of this rats?!" I stepped on his hand. 

"A-Argh.." I'm looking into his face, sighed. "I will suing and expose you!" I scoffed.

"Go on, I'm not afraid, Sam..."

I'm chuckling as I scrolled down about his past. "You like bullied people, are you?" I sighed. "Nemo, can you... call... ATS and DEA agent here? And said them he... put me in danger."

His face turned into pale. "I-I..." I raised my eyebrow. "I'm sorry... I-I-I..." he stuttered.

I beat him with my baseball bat until his face covered in blood. "It's done, Alexa. You could..." I brushed off his hand and looking at Sam. He hugged my legs, begged.

I put down my baseball bat. "You should rest, Alexa. You can't killed him, remember?" Nemo shoot his head with his gun. "I know what you've been through, but..."

"Can I trust you, Nemo?" I glared at him. Nemo put his gun in my hand and put the nozzle on his forehead.

"Shoot me, boss." He said. "I don't care if I died, but... you the one who saved me. From you... I can taste the sweetness in life."

We stared for a minutes, and I shoot the ceiling. He sighed in relief. "I can't... control my demon, Nemo. What should I do?"

I returned his gun and sits on the chair. "You should take a break from your job. Quit is the best option, or..."

[Cecilia calling...]

I accept the call and sighed. "Where are you? I don't see you at the bank." I unplugged my earbuds because of she yelled at me.

I can deaf if she keep doing this. "It's fine." Nemo lower his voice. I hangs up the call and called her via my googles.

"Why you hang up my call you..."

"I met my college friend, Nemo, remember? We're at Hexia Ruins. Hang out." She sighed in relief.

"I'm sorry, Alexa. I just... got a new case. My chief wants me to investigate the missing of... Ms. Isabella Guzman." I hummed. "I think, I will late to come home." We're looking at each other and sighed.

"Okay, I will let Nemo knows." She hangs up the call. "What do you think? This plan will working well?" I'm looking at the brand new equipment inside this garage.

"Do you think... he will purchased this legally?" I scoffed.

"No, he don't. People like us... want everything off the record, right?" A smirk draw on his face. "I don't know... how I explain to..."

"Please consider my advice." I'm looking at him. "You can't live like this. Right now... you're chasing a ghost. You're brother..."

I'm standing up and picked my baseball bat and walked to the outside. Maybe he's right, I'm chasing a ghost.

Cecilia's POV

"She tell the truth." I sighed in relief as Joseph, my partner said a good news to me. "I know you... suspicious with her, but... you brushed off that thought, Cecilia. She..."

"Thank you." I walked to my desk and looking at the CCTV camera that showed the culprit movement. If it's not her, then who? Who caused all the NJPD officers overwhelmed?! I took a sip of my coffee. Maybe I should move on and... forget about all of this.

I just too tired. "Let's go! They found her!" I grabbed my gun and key car and followed Joseph to the lobby.
