One day the voice touching you with light
Like a kiss, a secret whisper that awakens you
Your eyes with a dream that opened gently
You smile as you wait for me

I'll make sure to muzzle him before anything happens" the man who was standing respectfully with his hands knitted  to eachother and his head bowed, said.

"And you know that you can secure that seat only if you came back successful" the other man who sat on his swivel chair like a king, swirling the liquid in his glass, declared. The room was big, furnished with sumptuous items. A long councile table in the center in front of the man's desk. Big windows at both sides,and a big framed picture of the man on the front wall.

"I will give my best to it and show you what I am capable of" the man, standing beside the council table said confidently.

"I would have done that myself but if you are that much desperate for that seat then I will leave it to you Joseph. But you must also be aware of the consequenses if you failed"

"I am well aware of that sir" Joseph bowed a bit more before the guards escorted him out towards the car, blindfolded the whole time.

"Boss!" A man wearing a black 3 piece arrived the the other who was now sipping from his drink.

"Let him try out his luck." He said with an evil grin on his face. "Send news to Lara. Tell her to meet me."

"So what was all that about?" They had been laughing for almost half of their ride until Isaac asked earnestly.
She was sitting in the passenger seat with both of her hands hanging out of the open window with her chin over one of them. Being tired and sleepy because of all the burden from work. Isaac asked her several times to sit back and close the window as it was arctic outside but she unheard him.

"After the last mission I was entrusted with paperwork. A case the juniors were stuck in"
She tried to open her eyes.

"I had to find a solution just through papers and you know I suck at that" Isaac glanced at her bare face as she sat back, throwing her head back on the headrest. The face mask really hides her beauty behind it.

"To break the chain I just had to find its weakest bond and so I did. I went their last night and retrieved all the information I needed" she slipped her hand in one of her bag's pockets, taking out a USB and showed it to him.
"This is what they were after" she said putting it back.

"Weren't they smart to find your hotel room?" He was intrigued.

"I lured them there" She said grinning with closed eyes making Isaac shake his head.

That was easy, she thought as she glanced at him with one eye. She didn't expect Isaac to buy the story she just made up because he was one quick-witted man, but strangely he did. Though the whole thing wasn't untrue except for the intruder part. She didn't mean to lie but that was the easy way out. And she didn't want to drag Isaac into her mess.

"You can sleep. I will wake you up when we are there" he said and she followed, sliding down a bit in the seat she was asleep in seconds.

"By the way, have you met Yura after coming here" Riahn asked, pouring drink from the bottle into the glass.

"The things you bought for her are still in your room" he started to fill the other glass with water when  he was done with the first. And then went to the couch where Junmyeon was seated, his eyes fixed on the screen in front of him where Yura was crying in the drama over something.

Riahn was wearing Junmyeon's cloths as he took a bath here.

"Not yet. I asked her but she is busy with her filming. May be soon after that" Junmyeon replied taking the glass of vine from him. Riahn just slipped down the water as he was underage for drinking yet.

"A good thing then" Riahn sat beside him, almost snatching the remote from Junmyeon's hand and quickly switching the channel with a look of detestation on his face. He remembered how she used her cunnings to get that role.

Looking at him Junmyeon shook his head, a look of dislike cre0t on his face as Riahn stopped switching the channels on a football match.

"I bet you would have been a football player if you weren't my manager" Junmyeon stated his long sought conclusion.

"Uhm" Riahn brought his hand to his chin, prentending to think for a second. "Not really. I would have owned a bar if I weren't your manager" he answered.

"Why a bar?" Junmyeon inquired then weirded by the creepy smile that formed on Riahn's face.

"I would have been seeing beautiful ladies drunk dancing on my floor" Riahn turned his face towards Junmyeon, smiling devilishly.

Junmyeon facepalmed. "Don't know how you ended up being my manager"

"Its because...."Riahn moved a little closer to Junmyeon, grabbing his arm he stared into Junmyeon's eyes. Junmyeon was confused.

"...... I love you" Riahn said his lips protruding as if trying to kiss, having the same devilish look on his face.

"So gross" Junmyeon pushed his face away from him and moved to the other couch. Riahn laughed as he looked at the screen again.

"Talking about bar, did you happen to go to Artym on the day we came back?" Junmyeon was reminded of the night he went to meet Yura.

"I was dead asleep for the whole day and night" Riahn informed.

"But...how is this possible?" Junmyeon looked at Riahn being confounded.

"Why? Why are you looking like you are attacked by a ghost" Riahn gave him a troubled look.

"I went there to meet Yura she didn't came but I felt dizzy after having a drink and the next morning when I woke up I was in my bed. You and Yura are the only people who know my house passcode" Junmyeon said non-stopped. "And she wasn't the one as I received many of her voice mails saying I ditched her so I thought it would have been you, if not her."

"What an evil bitch" Riahn scoffed. "Not knowing anything, she just blamed you."

"That is not what I am worried about" Junmyeon held his head between his hands. "This is something serious. Someone knows my passcode. What if its a saesang fan" Junmyeon worriedly looked at Riahn.

Junmyeon really had some bad history with saesang fans and because of that he moved to the Casa Feliz apartments leaving his house behind.

"Maybe you came home all by yourself but have forgotten. Don't overthink" Riahn said non-chalantly. Junmyeon was surprised by the unconcerned look on his face. It was unusual, him being this relaxed even after hearing this. He would usually go around cursing people if anything like this would happen. Looking at him this much relax Junmyeon thought he might be overreacting.

"I am going to sleep" he stood up from the couch and went upstairs to his room.

"When was the last time I was here?" After taking quick shower she went out of the room drying her hair with towel.

"I think it was 2 years ago, when you got shot and was on bed rest for a month" Isaac flipped the pancake. She sat on one of the stools in the kitchen.

Isaac, not so young detective, was the one who saved her from what she had become. He once worked under her father, getting experience in his work. Working in several cases with her father he would visit often then. Jia used to call him uncle and play with him. She had gotten attached to him a little as a child.

"You should have used the dryer. You'll catch a cold like this" Isaac glanced at her while taking out the already fried pancake in a plate and decanting more of the mixture in the frying pan for another pancake.

"I am totally immune to cold" she said winking. "Didn't you say your sister lives with you? I didn't see her since last night" she asked.

Isaac took out the other pancake in the plate, pouring some vanilla bourbon caramel sauce on, it he placed it in front of her.

"She is on a trip with her friends. Will be back tomorrow" answering her Isaac went back to the stove.

"I'll get to meet her then" she said smiling. "Woooaah your cooking is always the best" taking her first bite she started gushing over it. Isaac smiled satisfactorily.

His phone which was on the table started ringing.
"What is it Leo?" He turned off the fire and received his call.

"What happened?" His eyebrows furrowed.
"Okay, I'll be there" she watched him intently as his features tensed.

"I need to go to the police station" he said running towards his room.
"Did something happen?" Going after him Jia asked.

"Carlo is being poisoned"
