The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Erick and Bryan were now on their way to the headquarter. They were silent in the entire journey. Bryan felt that something was wrong.

'Chief Lee was really silent since last night. Is there a problem? He look so serious. Is this the result of hang over.' Bryan thought to himself. He was silently observing him from time to time.

After the long silence, he couldn't take it anymore. Bryan initiated a conversation with him. "Chief, are you okay? Do you have a problem? I am your friend, you can tell me anything."

Erick didn't expect Bryan to ask him that. 'Am I really look problematic right now?'

"It's nothing. Sorry, maybe I am just tired and it's just a hang over I guess." Erick gave him a timid smile.

"Why on earth, you had to drink so much beer last night!?" Bryan wanted to scold him.

"Are you mad at me? Did I trouble you too much by coming with you last night and insisting to stay over night?" Bryan asked him feeling dejected.

"It is not like that." Erick was trying to console him.

"Then why is it I felt like you are upset with me. Did I offend you. You seemed annoyed with me and giving me a cold treatment since last night. Chief Lee, talk to me so that I know what I did wrong." Bryan lamented.

Erick sighed when he saw Bryan who felt like crying right now. 'Did I go overboard? Should I really talk to him?' Erick was still contemplating.

In the end, Erick decided to talk to him about last night. Besides it might be an misunderstanding. Bryan was his friend so if there was a problem between them, they should fix it.

"Honestly, I saw what happened between you and Elle last night."He calmly said to him. Bryan was startled when he heard him then the memory of the scene last night flashed into his mind. 'Sh**t, Erick really saw it.' He felt so embarass.

Getting no response from Bryan, Erick spoke again. "Do you like her? Do you like Elle?"

Bryan's eyes widened. "No!No! Chief Lee that was a big misunderstanding! Please let me explain!?" Bryan said in panic.

"Is that the reason why you are mad at me?" Bryan asked him.

"I am not mad!" Erick denied it.

"Chief It was all misunderstanding. I like Elle but not in a romantic way. I like her as a friend. Don't think that I am taking advantage of her last night! I did nothing! It's not my fault. It was her who approached me first. She was the one who grab my shoulders...and then..and..."

Bryan was now struggling to describe what Elle did to him last night. He was still having a goosebumps every time he remembered it.

Erick frown when he heard Bryan's explaination. He was unhappy when Bryan was saying that Elle initiated the move. He was defending himself and trying to put all the blame to Elle. His face darkened.

Upon noticing the changes in expressions of Erick, Bryan thought again if he had said something wrong. So he started explaining again.

"Chief I admit Elle was beautiful and attractive but I don't have feelings for her. Honestly I am starting to be afraid of her. I really felt uncomfortable sometimes when I am with her. She is unpredictable. She was cold sometimes and friendly the next time. After last night, I even think that maybe she has multiple personality!"

Erick became more unhappy with his explaination. Erick had a serious look in his face. Bryan was about to cry seeing his reaction. He was in panic.

"Chief Lee, please believe me. I did nothing. It was her. Maybe Elle had a crush on me and she noticed my appeal that's why she did that last night!!!" Bryan continued putting the blame to Elle.

Erick was now emitting a dangerous aura. Giving him a cold sharp glare. Bryan didn't know that the more he was pushing the blame to Elle the more he was making the situation worsened. As if he realized something Bryan tried to rephrase his statement.

"Hehe Chief I am just kidding about Elle having a crush on me. I think she was just teasing me. It all started when she asked me about James and Selena Arison. I just told her that they were so handsome and beautiful then suddenly she asked me if who is more beautiful between her and Selena."

Erick frown and then he asked him. "Then what did you tell her?"

Bryan:"..."

Bryan was flabbergasted by his question and gave Erick an Are-You-Serious look. 'Of all the things I have said Chief why are you interested with my response about her question?' he thought to himself.

"I didn't answer her. I don't know what to say. Then how could I think clearly on how to answer if she was pressuring me like that and she was moving closer to my face. I thought I am gonna die from heart attack that time." Bryan complained to him. Then suddenly Bryan asked him.

"If you are in my position, what will you do? What will you tell her? Who do you think is more beautiful... Elle or Miss Selena?"

Erick was caught off guard by his question.

'What would I do if I was in his position that time?' Erick was put in the deep thought.Then the memory of that scene replayed to his mind but this time it was not Bryan who was an inch closer to Elle's face. It was him.

Then suddenly his heart skip a beat. Then his alter ego spoke up 'If I were him, I will pull her closer and kiss her passionately.' Just thinking about it, his face turned red and he felt hot.

Then suddenly a vision of him kissing Elle flashed into his mind. However, this time it was not in the living room but in his own bedroom. He was lying on his bed while Elle was on his top. He was hugging her waist and pulling her closer to him. They started kissing each other. First it was just a soft kiss then later on it became so sensual and passionate. Elle was responding to him and returning his kiss with the same intensity he was giving her.

The memory was interrupted when Bryan shouted "Chief watch out!" They almost hit the car in their front. Fortunately, Erick was fast to react and able to step on the brake. Bryan was frightened while Erick felt an indescribable emotions, not because of almost getting into the accident but because of the thought in his mind.

"Sh**t, why am I imagining things like this. I am not a pervert! But why is it that it felt that it really happened. Am I losing my mind now? Is this cause by hang over? Then I will not drink too much in the future." His heart was beating so wild.
