"Something mysterious can trigger a curious mind to uncover the truth behind. "
A girl in her early twenties woke up early to be one of the early birds in her office. It was just three months since she was hired. But her new world seems challenging at times.
"Shana! How many times do I have to tell you to place your notebook in drawer 13 for your daily log? Where is it?"
"Sorry Chief. I left it at home so I used another paper instead. I transferred the info this evening," Shana immediately handed the notebook.
"Who should place it in the drawer?" the chief answered with a little insult.
"Yes Chief. I placed it already. Apology once again sir. "
"If you have matters to report to me, do it as usual, orderly please. Any question?"
"None Sir!" all answered with firmness.
"Remember, in A3 Detective Hub, we ANALYZE ALL ANGLES! Gets! A3?"
"Analyze all angles!" the group answered in loud manner.
The chief proceeded inside his office. Agent 8, Stan followed the Chief to give his report. Others seem hesitant.
"Stan seems always lucky to handle his cases well. He might have a secret. Right Nilo?"
"It is called hardwork. He really exerts extra effort to follow up his duties. The good thing is, we can also do that. It depends on us now," Nilo, Agent 2 answered direct to the point.
"Well, I will rather learn the craft of my work now if I am a rookie, than to always put myself into shame. Right Shana?" Kiary, agent 5 mocked Shana.
"You know what? The boss seems to be a little hard on you on these past few weeks. Did you observe that, Shana?" Kim, Agent 3 inquired.
"I guess I still need to double my efforts in order to be effective for boss. I am a rookie that is why perhaps," Shana, Agent 8 explained.
"You need to do better rather than just nodding on the advice, poor rookie," Kiary laughed at Shana.
The chief went out with seemingly fuming face and yelled.
"Shana, what kind of report is this! In my office, now?" the boss yelled.
Shana, with eyes about to cry, went inside the chief's office while Stan went out afterwards. The chief locked the door.
"There are things that all ears must hear, but there are those that only few must have. So, it's good that I can always activate my soundproof walls."
"What do you plan to do? Chief, I am still young. I have so much respect in you for hiring me but please... "
"Foolish! At my age of 65, you expect me to do this... act! Never mind. I don't have bad intentions on you. There is something that you need to know."
"Haaah, thanks Chief. I thought... " Shana gasped a deep breath of relief.
"I can see that you are really meant for this work, only that it happened the bad and the hard way," the chief hinted.
"Why Sir, what happened?" Shana got curious.
"There is something that you need to know. It is about your partner Elmer, your buddy in the field when you go on investigating something."
"What happened to him?" Shana persuaded the chief to open up.
"He is gone."
