They've been doing the same thing for quite some time now yet Devius didn't notice anything suspicious while observing their surroundings and everyone at the bar. The only thing he noticed was his partner's anxiety. Even if Detective Lee was sitting perfectly still, Devius could see and feel that he isn't comfortable at all. He couldn't tell if it's because of the fact that it's the detective's first in that kind of place — because it's his first time too and he doesn't feel that anxious.

"Cai, why do you seem so nervous?" He whispered at him in confusion.

Detective Lee doesn't want to tell him the real reason behind his reactions. In reality, Cameron felt nervous and uncomfortable because of the moving lights, noisy people, loud music but most of all, it's because the whole place is dark and the only source of light were the party lights. Being in a place like that, Cameron felt like he was that child again. The place is suffocating him. If he had a choice, he would just leave and never look back but because of their mission, he has to endure everything. Detective Lee just sighed and shook his head.

"What? Is it because it's your first time here?" Devius asked.

"Hmm. I'm not used to noisy places like this." He reasoned out.

"Well, it's for our mission, like you said. Just try to relax and don't act suspicious." Officer Chad patted his shoulder.

Even if his junior's touch managed to ease his anxiety, the fact that he's still feeling worried and nervous couldn't be hidden. Cameron has this feeling that something bad is about to happen but he couldn't tell if it's because of his anxiety or if that's his senses telling him.

"Just relax." He heard Devius spoke again.

"Tss! Fine, I just want to get this mission done." Detective Lee stated with a sigh.

Officer Chad smiled and went back in observing. After sometime, they noticed someone who looked a bit off. It's a guy wearing a black polo and black pants. His hair is like that anime character, Muzan—if you don't know Muzan, you can just say that his hair looks like Michael Jackson's. With all the curls and ponytails. He kept looking around as if searching for someone, at first, Devius didn't bother to suspect him because he could just be someone looking for his partner but seeing how he acts now, something about him is not right. He also seemed really anxious. As if he would fear his own shadow. Officer Devius Chad kept watch on him.

"Cai, I think I found the person we're looking for." He whispered towards Detective Lee.

Cameron simply looked around. "Where?"

"That guy sitting near the door. The one with the curly hair." Officer Chad pointed using his lips.

Detective Lee turned to look at the man whom his partner was referring to and at first glance, he already notice that he looks off. Detective Lee nodded his head and turned to his partner.

"Just keep your eyes on him. I'm sure he has someone with him and that's my job to look for that person." Cameron ordered as he got up.

"But, Cai, I forgot to ask who gave you the information about that person?" The officer asked.

Detective Cameron Lee took a deep breath and leaned on the chair before saying, "Red."

"Huh?" Devius didn't hear what he said.

"Red gave me the information that there's someone in this place that might know something about the culprit." Detective Lee explained a little longer.

"You mean, he called you again? Why didn't you tell me?" Officer Chad was a bit confused why he felt a bit pissed by the fact that his partner didn't even bother to tell him about that.
