" So, it all happened after midnight. "
Leo nods at the comment she made after looking at the timings of all the murders.

" Did you find the locations?"

He presses his lips into a thin line and a moment of silence passes, making Scarlet collect her thoughts and decide what to say. She sighs and  leans her head on the headrest of the chair.

" Ma'am, any further orders?"

She shook her head, denying, and continues ," I'm waiting till he does a murder again. "

The sound of clicking shoes enters her ears, making her look at the man strolling into the office, looking at the surroundings with his siren eyes like he's memorizing the place.

I forgot he was also in the room, she thinks, stealing a glance at Officer Leo, standing beside him. She signals him to bend closer to her, whispering in his ear, "What was his name again?"

" Officer Kim Taehyung, Ma'am"

She nods and retreats, getting up from her chair. A slight smirk appears on her face, pulling away the files from Officer Leo's hands and winks at her as she says in a low voice "I have a perfect task for him. You may leave now. "

She orders and he leaves the room, leaving everything in her hand.

The sound of her clicking heels echoes in the room, grabbing Taehyung's attention fully. He stops his stroll and stands in front of her with his arms crossed in front of his broad chest. His tall figure towers over her.

As he crossed his arms, his biceps muscles got more prominent, and her eyes trailed to his big, broad, build-up chest. She raises her eyebrows with a sneering smile while Taehyung's body language radiates confidence and bravery. The traits that attract Scarlet the most.

She moves forward the files she was holding " Officer Kim, I have a task for you. Find the locations of all the murders within a week, Is that enough for you?"

She noticed how his gaze never left her face; his gaze felt like a predator, all ready to attack his prey.

He looks at the files in her hand and then back at her face as he nods briefly, receiving the files from  her hands.

" Do you even talk or not?"

She questions, plopping herself on the small couch in the right corner of the office. He placed the files on the small table placed in front of the couch.

" Yes I do, Ma'am"

She hums in response and replies "May I know why you are willing to do this case with me?"

He stands at a distance, responding "I heard no one was agreeing to handle this case except you. As a newly promoted officer, I needed experience, and having experience with that most well-known Captain seems like a great opportunity to me, Captain. "
