This is worse than I thought.

While everybody in the living room, was sleeping on mats and mattresses.

One specific bodyguard from Jin's team, was already wide awake and full of energy.

Despite how little sleep Lydia got, she was the first to wake-up half an hour ago, when Rushil called her to tell her they were coming back in an hour.

And by the time she decided to wake the others, she has already cleaned the rest of the house all by herself in incredible speed.

Done with the pool, Lydia grabbed her cleaning tools and headed to the living room, to wake the sleeping bunch in there.

So in a loud generically cheerful voice, "Rise and shine everyone! you thought you can sleep forever? well the party is over!" Lydia said loudly.

Few of the girls started to wake-up in confusion, while some others rolled to their other side, groaning in annoyance.

"I am being serious, you need to wake-up! it is Almost 8am and just now, I have received a call, Madame and her husband will be here, they called a half hour ago and we only have another half left before they're here, so anyone who isn't on Jin's team, you need to leave now.

That is unless all of you want to be out of jobs for having an unauthorized pool party, so get-up and start leaving so I can clean this house!" Lydia said loudly again.

"No mom, I don't want to go to school... they hate me there..." A still dreaming Peggy said before she accidentally punched Andrea who was laying next to her.

"Jesus what the hell?!" A startled Andrea woke-up immediately, he got angrier when Peggy wrapped her arms around him, clinging to his torso.

"C'mon everyone!" Lydia spoke again, "Don't make me Yell any louder! C'mon girls...and boys!" She added.

Opening his eyes, "Good morning...*Yawning* I see... you're still in that... weird good mood from yesterday Lydia!" A sleepy Jin said as he sat upright, "Yes which is why I was being generous enough, I have cleaned the rest of this place and only the living room is left." Lydia replied.

"Ugh, Lydia!...Have you ever heard of sleep?...You should try it...it does wonders for your health...and beauty." Nikolai who was laying next to Jin, said annoyed making Jin chuckle.

"No one said you can't go continue sleeping, Niko." Jin said stroking Nikolai's head.

Yawning, "Then I'm gonna...go back to sleep...right now!" Nikolai said nuzzling his face next to Jin's hand.

Fully awake now, "You can't keep sleeping here pretty, you need to go to another room so Lydia can clean." Andrea said while nudging Peggy so she would wake-up and release him.

But despite that, "Andrea...brbrbrbrb... Andrea..." Peggy didn't wake-up and was still dreaming so Andrea sighed and just pushed her away, freeing himself.

"As much as I hate agreeing with pretty boy Andrea, he's right Nikolai." Lydia said.

"Fine...somebody help me go somewhere else...because I'm so tired, I can't stand...on my own." Nikolai said.

"I'll do it." Andrea replied, "No need to, I got him." Jin said.

"It's okay Jin, Andrea can take me." Nikolai replied making Andrea smile.

"Alright Niko, if that's what you want." Jin Said frowning.

...Few minutes later...

Andrea was gently pulling the sheets to cover Nikolai's half sleeping body, when Nikolai asked him, "Why didn't you...leave when the...girls came here yesterday?" Without opening his sleepy eyes.

"You're really tired pretty, you had lotta fun yesterday." Andrea said chuckling.

"Yeah...you still didn't answer...my question..." Nikolai replied fighting to stay awake.

"Just close your eyes and go back to sleep, I'll be leaving now, I have to go back to my house." Andrea said kissing Nikolai's forehead, he then placed the rag doll from earlier next to Nikolai before he walked away from the bed.

"Thank you Andrea..."

"You're welcome Pretty, goodbye."

"You...don't have to answer my...question anymore...Andrea..." Nikolai said but before Andrea could reply, Nikolai drifted back to sleep.

...Half an hour later...

"And I'm done! Wow the living room took more time than the rest of this place!" A smiling Lydia said as she put away the cleaning tools and headed back to the living room.

"I'm not sure why you insisted to clean the whole house, all on you own but I have a feeling it has something to do with yesterday's favor that you asked, for me to let you go wish Cyrus a happy birthday." Jin said raising an eyebrow at her, " Did something good happen with Cyrus?" He asked.

Blushing, "It's A Private matter I can't tell you, but I am happy." Lydia replied, "And btw, I knew Joe was sweet as muffins, but experiencing it first hand was a bust." Lydia replied, "IKR? He's like one of the sweetest old men I know." Jin Said chuckling.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, "Speaking of people old enough to be parents, I think Radka and Rushil are here." Jin said.

"And Minnie too." Lydia said to which Jin nodded to.

"Yeah...I'll go open the door." He said walking away.

On the other side of the now open door, "Howdy Homie." Cyrus greeted a confused Jin.

"Cyrus? Why you here?"

"I came to talk about some stuff, so excuse me." Cyrus replied while walking inside.

Closing the door behind, "What stuff exactly?" Jin asked, but then Lydia came towards them and Jin watched as Lydia became a blushing mess upon seeing Cyrus.

"Good morning Lydia, I hope you slept well." Cyrus said smiling at her.

"Umm...uh, good...morning!" Lydia replied.

"Oh wow, this is worse than I thought." Jin said shocked.

"Worse, what?" Cyrus asked, "Nevermind...you still haven't answered my question, btw we should go somewhere to talk so Lydia won't continue malfunctioning." Jin said.

"Actually I need Lydia to stick around with us, after all she knows a thing or two about what I came here to say." Cyrus replied.

"I...do?" Lydia asked, "Yes... I'm here to tell you something important, but I need you both to promise to keep this from everyone else, including Nikolai.

Only the three of us can know for now."Cyrus replied.

"I'm not keeping shit from Niko." Jin firmly stated, "Trust me, if you care about his safety, physically and mentally, then you'll keep this from him." Cyrus replied seriously.

"What do you mean?!" Jin asked.

Clearing her throat, "This is about Julian... isn't it?" Lydia asked.

"Yeah...His murder." Cyrus replied.

Jin's eyes went wide open, "How come you're here telling us this? Did somebody tell you something?" He asked.

"Yes, but I can't tell you who and when I came to know of this...and I've told the person who told me to keep Their mouth shut and pretend they don't know for their own safety." Cyrus explained, "So please, for that person's and Nikolai's sake, promise me you won't talk about this with anyone else, at least until we confirm everything ourselves." He added.

Sighing, "Fine...I promise you, but if this put a strain on my relationship with Niko, I swear I'll make you pay." Jin replied.

"Don't Worry About Me telling anyone." Lydia said.

"Good." Cyrus replied.

...[Tiny Flashback]...

"Thank you for listening to me." Rudy said as he escorted Cyrus back to door of his father's room.

"You shouldn't be thanking me just yet, btw did you tell anyone else about your encounter with Flint?" Cyrus asked.

"No, I didn't...I couldn't even tell Blake."

"Because he would've known, you've been drinking again."

Surprised, "What are you talking about?" Rudy asked feeling his heart skip a beat.

"I know that time at the hospital, wasn't the only time Flint approached you, in fact he approached you the very same night he decided to kidnap Seong-min.

Flint got you drunk somehow and you confessed to him about Seong-Min's true identity and her goals, which probably angered him more, and he decided to kidnap her.

You think I wouldn't know Rudy?! that's why you didn't tell Blake, because you didn't want to lie to him if he asked you whether you've met Flint again.

You felt responsible for what happened to Seong-min, and on top of that you were ashamed because you've been drinking behind Blake's back while pretending to be sober." Cyrus replied.

Rudy's eyes filled with tears as his body began shaking, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'd lose him, please don't tell Blake!" He said fighting his tears.

"Take a deep breath I won't tell him, In fact I won't be telling anyone that you accidentally told Flint about Seong-min, not even Jin.

Btw it's normal to relapse when you're on a journey of rehab, and to be honest you haven't been drinking as much as you used to, so you really are trying to be sober.

But that's not the discussion we're having right now Rudy." Cyrus said patting Rudy's shoulder once, "What I'm trying to say is, you're not gonna tell anyone because Nikolai shouldn't know, at least not now when things are getting better for him.

I'll go instead of you tomorrow and talk to Jin, I'll tell him 'A person' told me this, and meanwhile you just have to keep your mouth shut, and pretend you never met-up with Flint, or talked to me about it." Cyrus explained.

"I'll do what you say, just please don't tell anyone...I never meant to hurt Seong-min, Flint targeted me, he came crying to me that day and said that Seong-min has been treating him like shit, then begged me to drink with him like old times...I fell right into his trap." Rudy said, a tear fell off his eye and slid across his cheek.

Taking a napkin he had in his pocket, Cyrus gave it to Rudy, "I'm not threatening you Rudy, I'm asking you for help so please do as I say.

Think about your own safety and Blake's, and I promise you no one's gonna know about that night, and even if they did, I'll make sure they know, it wasn't your fault." Cyrus replied.

...[ End of Tiny Flashback]...

"Knowing you and the fact that you didn't include me in your original revenge plan, Why are you here telling me this now Cyrus?" Jin asked.

"Because I think Flint has been solving more than Julian's death." Cyrus replied.

"My mother's case...you think it's solved? didn't he stop working with Seong-min on my mother's case?!" Jin asked with wide eyes.

"You're right he stopped working with Seong-min, not on the case.

I'm pretty sure he cracked it, we just don't know what he discovered."

"You came here to talk about Julian's murder and now you're telling me that Flint solved my mother's murder?! Why?"

"To get you to work with me, Jin."

"You think he must've kept the answer somewhere." Jin said, "Yeah...I can't ask Seong-min to help me, she's traumatized.

Anyways I know from her that, Flint had a tablet he carries around instead of a notebook of paper." Cyrus replied.

"Yeah, Flint had a knack for electronics, he didn't like paper journals so he kept a small grey tablet on him all the time, it's where he writes what he finds before making a viewtube video.

The problem is, when I went to the police to make a deal to keep me out of the case in exchange for evidence that I managed to get on Flint.

I asked them if they checked his tablet, but they told me that they didn't find a tablet on him, anywhere." Lydia explained.

"So if we find the tablet, we will find some answers, because whether we like it or not that asshole was very good at solving crimes, and he believed that Julian was murdered.

And I need you two, to help me." Cyrus said.

"Then, You're gonna tell me everything this person told you." Jin replied.
