At Rick's Home:

Rick is eating his breakfast with other members of family. David takes an early leave citing an important meeting to attend. Leyla follows him with his black lawyer briefcase. Ella notices his brother's happiness which she definitely had part in.

"Now things have been settled between You & Jasmine. I think you'll focus on your family too," she lays out her cryptic hint.

Although knowing clearly what she really wants him to focus on, he plays the game in her way. "I always focus on my family."

"I'm just saying so you don't miss anything," taking a water glass she hides her smile.

"Are you referring to something in particular?" He narrows his eyes.

She puts down the glass, a little irritated as she takes a hint that he doesn't remember. "You don't know about today?"

"What? Is there something special about today?" he asks innocently.

"No...nothing." Making a poker face she pushes her unfinished plate. She gets up and stomps out of the hall towards her room.

Rick's phone chimes up. Meet me at Andre's Movers & Packers, says the message from Laura. He smiles looking at it. Do you need an amateur's help? he replies. Are you coming or not? she asks.

"I am but I need to set something up first," saying to himself he dials Jasmine. "Hey, I need your help?"

"Sure Rick," says Jasmine in a pleasing tone.

"I've got some unexpected work pressure. So can you make some arrangements for Ella's birthday tonight?"

"I'd love to."

"Perfect...I'll send you the details." Hanging up he taps on his phone and walks outside. Finished with sending details he steps in the cab towards the mission location.

At Andre's Movers & Packers:

Rick steps out of his cab. Laura's car is seen parked on the opposite side of the road. He steps in her car and looks towards the building she's focused on with her binoculars. "Andre's moving & packing business is only a shell activity...actual money comes from the sale of Opiotox."

"What is that?"

Putting aside the binoculars, she explains, "A new highly addictive drug derived from Opium that's crumbling the town's youngsters. Our client Jeffrey's son took it for once but Andre is not leaving the kid alone."

"So we'll destroy a drug racket?" Rick asks beamed up as if he has been waiting for something like this.

"No, that's upto law enforcement. We're here only to threaten Andre," she lays out the fact. Rick seems discouraged.

"So how do we do it?" she asks.

Taking a pause he thinks for a moment. A vicious idea chimes him up. He's been wanting to kick some asses since he's been proven a liar by Adrian. Now seems a good time to channelize his rage. "We'll do it your way," he says in a stern tone.

"Alright...let's do this." She seems happy obviously waiting for something fun like this. They step out of the car and walk towards a giant metal door. Two people dressed in grey uniforms are roaming around the gate.

One of them greets the duo with a smile. "Welcome, what package do you want to move?"

"We're not here to move package gentlemen, we are to move your boss," Rick says, replicating the man's smile. The man gets the hint clearly and charges immediately with his right fist.
