Illiana's POV

"What took you so long?" Reina asked the moment she saw me enter the room. There is a monitor where we can watch Berny's operation.

She's wearing a channel black and white suit, and she looks so elegant in it. She doesn't look like she's in her late thirties. Her face didn't age a bit, it's like we're the same age right now.

"It's not that easy to come here, I had to do some stopover to cover up my traces" I explained before sitting on the couch beside her.

"Berny will look like a hunk from now on," she said excitedly before giving me the picture that she chose for him.

It's a picture of a Russian hunk model. There's no way that Berny will be identified in the face recognition system anymore. I glanced at her and frowned when I saw a teapot and two pieces of the cup. I don't remember having that here.

"How did you come here?" I asked curiously. I don't think she took a cab because I strictly reminded her not to do that the last time we spoke.

"You don't have to worry about that, I came here without anyone knowing. Would you like a cup of tea?" she offered.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I don't enjoy tea while watching someone being cut up" she just made a face in response, indicating that she doesn't believe my excuse.

"I didn't come here to accompany you to watch Berny" I informed her after a moment.

"I know silly, ask away" she simply said while her eyes still focused on the operation.

"I already know who killed mom. It's Michael Montreal, Sky told me about it" I started, but I frowned when she chuckled.

"Really?" she doesn't seem convinced about it.

"There are only six of them when mom was shot, Sky was supposed to be the one to pull the trigger, but Michael took it when they are suddenly being attacked" I explained.

"Are you sure there are only six of them?" she asked suspiciously.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused. I don't know where she's heading.

"Aside from the elite Team, who else is there at the crime scene? Your dad's henchmen are there right?"

"Well, as per Sky, it was a trap–" she cut me off by raising her hand.

"How sure are you that that the bullet came from them? It didn't occur to you that there's a possibility that it came from one of your dad's henchmen?"

"But that's impossible! Sky is very protective of the truth, and she will not keep it a secret if they know that Michael didn't kill mom. Also, I saw the autopsy report, it matched the bullet that Michael used that time" I explained adamantly.

"Well, whatever floats your boat. I am just simply stating my findings about that case." I didn't respond so she continued to speak.

"There are lots of possibilities Illiana, don't just stick to one. You should know that of all people, you're a police officer."

"I know what I saw, the autopsy reports will not lie. We even have the bullet that was removed from mom's body until now" I argued.

"Why not ask your dad for more information? Maybe he'll tell you something that you haven't known yet" she suggested.

I shook my head. I didn't speak to dad ever since the last time that we argued. He will not be of much help to me right now until his anger towards me cools down.

"I remember you now" I changed the topic.

"That's strange. You haven't met me before, so how come you remember me?" she asked amused.
