Chapter 29 - Catseye is Idle!

Charles continued pestering Elle with his questions about what happened to her. To shut him out she just told him everything. He thought that the most shocking news he got that day was about Black Shadow discovering her identity but he was wrong. There would be something much more surprising in which Elle was about to tell him.

"Who saved you?" he asked curiously.

"A detective." she said matter-of-factly.

"What!? Can you repeat it? Did I hear it wrong?" Charles was startled. He couldn't believe what she had just said.

"Chief Detective Inspector Erick Lee who is handling a case related to Catseye to be exact. I think it might be Jorge Arison's Case." She replied.

Charles gasped from that shocking news "Whoah! You really had some luck this time."

Elle started to feel annoyed with Charles' blabbering mouth. "Can....You...Shut up?!" her cold voice made Charles to keep quiet. He sensed that she was really pissed right now.

"I called you because I want you to do something for me." she said to him. Charles obediently listened to her. She gave him the instruction.

"I got it! By the way how did you know that he is handling Jorge's Case?" He asked again curiously.

" I heard his phone call conversation with one of his colleagues talking about Catseye. Since Jorge's case was the recent one so I guess it. And I didn't think that he was one of those Eagles who always running their noses on my business for quite some years now. I already familiarized with those agents. I think he was assigned recently with our case." Charles just nodded on her explanation.

"Haha Five years ago, they built that special task force just to catch you but until now they didn't even have a glimpse of your shadow. They are following your track blindly! I pity them."

"I have another concern, what should I do about our pending missions. A lot of people are calling me?" Charles consulted her.

"Reject. I still need to recuperate. Just do what I told you to do." Elle instructed him for the last time and then she hung up the phone.

He wanted to ask her more about the detective but she was not in the mood. He made a mental note to ask her next time.

Meanwhile.... a group of assassins gathered in one certain place.

"Have you heard?" someone spoke up.

"About what?"

"Catseye rejected so many missions! They are looking for another assassins to fill in the job." he said happily

"Oh is that true? Hmm, it is so unusual for Catseye to reject missions! Catseye is someone who always think about money and killing." someone felt puzzled.

"Did something happened with that devil?" another one shared his thought.

"No one knows. They said Catseye has something more important to do right now and will not accept any mission for the time being. Well that punk is really unpredictable. We don't know what is running on his mind." someone said nonchalantly.

"How about Black Shadow? I didn't see him here for the past few days."

"He is probably busy right now. I heard he was offered a great amount of money for one tough mission. But I didn't know who is his target this time."

"Then that's good news for us. It means we have more job opportunities! Cheers!!!"

At XXX Crime Investigation Office... the meeting was still on going. Selena Arison had left already after knowing the reports of the team regarding the progress of their investigation. The atmosphere inside the conference room turned back to normal. A while ago they felt really pressured when Selena was there. They could also feel her gloominess and anger. They felt frustrated also since they haven't found any more useful information in order to catch the culprits. The worst case was they already knew who did it but the problem was they didn't know where and how to catch them.

"Allen and Carl what is the update on your side?" Captain Jason asked them.

It was Allen who answered. "There was no current movement of Catseye. It has been three weeks already after Jorge and Peter were killed. No reports of killings related to Catseye had been submitted."

Other members of the Eagles were startled upon hearing the report. Team Alpha noticed their reaction so Rose asked them. "What's with your expressions? This is a good news why is it you look so puzzled like that?"

Carl searched something in his laptop and he projected some data on the screen. "These are the records of Catseye Crime for the past five years." Everyone focus on the Bar Graph presented in the screen. It represented the months and the years and the corresponding number of crimes committed every months. Team Alpha were shocked upon seeing the data.

"Is that the record of crimes that Catséye committed for the past five years?" Bryan asked.

"Yes" Allen simply replied. Bryan gasped "Oh crap, that's too many!!!!"

"Catseye was known for his viciousness that's why he was entitled the devilish assassin! Someone says that Catseye was addicted to bloody crime, killings and money. These records show that the average frequency or the average crime that Catseye committed every one month is 13. It also means that average of 13 persons would be killed by Catseye in every one month. These data only included the reported one but we didn't know but there is a possibility that she committed more crime depending on his mood." Carl said as ex explained the data further.

"However for this month, she just committed 3 crimes including the recent case of Peter Blake and Jorge Arison. This means Catseye had been idle for the past three weeks. That is the reason why we are puzzled." Allen said. Everyone was put in a deep thought after they heard the report of Carl and Allen.

"The question is what could have happened after the Assassination of Jorge and Peter? Even though it was a good news that Catseye committed less crime this month but we are really bothered since this is the first time it happened for the past five years on following this case.'' Captain Jason shared his thought.

"If he is consistently doing crimes and it became lesser this month then we could say that Catseye possibly encountered a mishap in one of his missions. This could be one of the possible reasons. Catseye must be injured or something unexpected happened to him." It was Erick who shared his thought and one of his speculation. If that's the case then who could it be.

"Then I should act this time and gather more information. It's my time to do undercover and be a spy in the underground world." It was Marie who spoke up with a bright smile and then she winked at her team members who were startled from the moment she suddenly spoke up.
