And then—
KNOCK KNOCK
Leo turns around, he doesn't seem amused, "Come in." He said dryly.
The junior investigator entered and said, "The Warehouse in Wedunus district is burnt down..."
Eleanor turns, her expression changed, there was a hint a fuming on her eyes which she buried down almost instantly, "How did that happen?"
But Leo just nodded, "You may go..."
And after the Junior Investigator left, Leo turns his head back to Eleanor, "Get your things. We're leaving."
Eleanor stood up, she opens her mouth to protest but Leo says, "Be quick."
Eleanor stood there, watching Leo, before she gathers her things and inside her bag, shs looks at the 9mm before
ZIIIP. she closes the bag.
The time skips to when Leo is driving, he's driving with one had, Eleanor was sitting on the passenger seat as Leo stolen a glance at her, "There's something about Sebastian... he's always found in the most suspicious places, don't you think?"
Eleanor looks up from her phone, "What?"
Leo takes the phone from her hand and put that back on Eleanor's lap, "He always claims to find the truth. And when he does, I get closer to get my truth."
Eleanor eyebrows twitches, "Why do you think that?" There was a hint of caution when Eleanor asked the question.
Leo's index finger softly pats the steering wheel, "I just told you the reason, Miss Williams." Eleanor froze, she opens her mouth to speak but no words came out. But she after a few seconds, "I mean... what makes you so sure?"
"He had a serious argument with Stacey 2 days before the murder."
And then they reached the destination.
Leo steps out of the car first and opens the door for Eleanor, they stood in front of the ruins, the warm Spanish air was hitting her face, Eleanor's hair was flowing like silk, the light of the sunset was making her look almost unreal. Leo stared at her for a second longer before he wears the gloves and started investigating.
At first, everything was fine, the burning down was almost like an accident, Eleanor found a ring, a beautiful diamond ring, she examines it and thinks, 'It's not something a normal person would wear.' And puts it into a foil and continued searching, but she paused for a second and thinks, 'What if it's from... No... but it can be Sebastian. But in anyway, this is a wealthy person's ring.'
"Did you find something?" Leo calls out from the other end.
Eleanor doesn't immediately looks up, "No!" She replies.
Leo walks towards her and said, "It almost seems like an accident..."
Eleanor looks up at Leo and slowly stood up, "It isn't an accident. This was planned."
BANG!
The aim was at Eleanor but Leo came in front of her, and the bullet hits his hand.
Eleanor grabbed Leo and takes a cover nearby, she tears up her midi skirt to press the cloth on the wound, "Breathe."
And Eleanor unzips the bag and takes the 9mm and peeks out and
BANG BANG
BANG BANG
BANG BANG the sound of gunshot only can be heard, Eleanor kills two out of nine and the others three were quite injured and the other four escaped with the injured ones. Eleanor exhales and looks at Leo who was panting and placing the cloth against his arm.
Meanwhile those assassins went to a dark meeting room and their leader and a person in the dark were drinking wine.
"So?" Said the leader, "Did you finish them?"
One of them shakes his head to no.
The glass breaks under the leader's hand, "Do you think this is the answer I'm going to take."
The person in the dark sips the wine speaks with a melodic voice, "It's okay, Mr. Vetesker. Things like this happen. I'm a very patient person." And Samuel Vetesker turns and said, "That's a mercy of you, Mr. Alderbury."
And the person leans in, ths light hits his face, it's—
