Chapter 57 - 57: A Big Surprise at Home (1/2)

At Erick's Place...

The two unexpected visitors were now sitting on the living room. Elle was busy preparing their drinks at the kitchen. ”Erick Lee, why you didn't mention that your parents are coming over today?!” She was complaining to herself.

Erick's parents mistook her as his girlfriend. As expected, who would not assume with their right mind that she was not his girlfriend since for the first place she said to them that she was living in that house which is owned by their son Erick. And seeing their shocked expressions, this might be the first time that Erick let someone stay in his house without his parents' knowing.

She didn't have the chance to correct it since she was really mentally unprepared meeting his parents and couldn't think of a good alibi. Of course, she was not in good position to tell them the truth that their son just save her and decided to take care of her because she was hunted by some gang.

Just three persons were enough to know that she was being hunted by Skull Gang besides she didn't want to frighten his parents and be involve with this also. She was also thinking about what would be their reaction if they knew that?

And lastly, seeing the joy and excitement from the reactions of Erick's mother while hugging her a while ago, she didn't have the heart to disappoint her. That was also her first time being hugged like that after a long time. She didn't know why but she felt at ease and relaxed in her presence and suddenly she was reminded of her mother's warm hug.

She glanced at the couple in the living room. They looked good together. She could feel the love between them. They were now having a casual conversation and they seemed like they were enjoying their moments together.

She picked up her phone and she was about to inform Erick about his parents' sudden visit and their wrong assumption about her but she stopped when she remembered something.

She remembered the article she read about Erick...

”He is still a bachelor and many girls are still lining up to be his girlfriend. They didn't heard about him having a girlfriend that's why many girls are still hoping.”

She recalled also the day they went to the hospital to have her check up and Dr. Gomez told something to Erick....

”You are ready to have some wife. So start looking for one now. You have a dangerous job, you didn't know you might die single. Tsk Tsk. It would be a waste if you will not spread your beautiful genes. Many girls are lining up for you.”

Of course how could she forget the scene she witnessed at the Famous Restaurant in City Z where she saw Erick and Selena having a nice conversation in which they both looked so happy and so closed with each other.

And just recently, Erick just stole her first kiss and then he didn't remember. Her first kiss was taken just like that but the person who did it forgot everything about it. It was so unfair!

Elle grasp on her phone tightened. She was smiling but deep inside she was in raged.

”Chief Detective Inspector Erick Lee! It seems like the fate is on my side right now, giving me the opportunity to get even with you and it is telling me that I should also give you a lesson just like what I did to Sergeant Velasquez.” She mumbled to herself. Then a sly smile appeared on her beautiful face as she started scheming an evil plan against Erick.

Meanwhile.... at XXX Crime Investigation Headquarter

Erick's team and Special Task Force Eagles were having short meetings about the progress of their investigation to Catseye. This time Marie who had undergone undercover mission in the underground world had discovered something.

”There is a rumor circulating in the underground world that Catseye's hide out was discovered and was attacked. It was the same day when we received the anonymous tip about Catseye's identity.”

Marie told the team about what she found out during her investigation. Everyone was listening attentively so she continued.

”And the one who was responsible with the attack is also an assassin with an alias of Black Shadow. In the underground world, Catseye and Black Shadow was considered the most skilled assassins. So there is a competition happening between them. Here.... Check this out. This is the address of Catseye's hideout that was attacked by Black Shadow and his group.” Marie showed them the address.

”Good job Agent Marie. We will go there tomorrow!” Captain Jason said to them.

After a while, their meetings was adjourned. They left the conference room.

”Guys, the day after tomorrow is the celebration of my birthday. Let's celebrate and have a dinner together!” Rose invited them. Captain Jason as well as the other members of Eagles accepted her invitation. That will also be their first team dinner together.

”You can bring your friends and partners if you want.” Rose added.

”I am so excited!” April said. ”Hey Bryan don't forget your promised about shopping.” April reminded him.
