Every morning, the Head of the Housekeeping Team Mdm Geon, would do her usual rounds around the Palace. She does this to report on the work performance of the maids and ensure that the state of the Palace is in check. Starting from the South Tower she would check for any spots or specks of dusts that has been building up around the corners of the walls. Then, she heads to the West Tower taking a right turn to cross the East West bridge. She does a quick round in the East Tower before ending her task at the North Tower where the Royals live in.

Mdm Geon is well known for being extra meticulous during her rounds. After working for the Royals for the past 40 years, she has memorized the entire layout of the Palace by heart. She also knows how the furniture is placed down to the angle of a photo frame that should be slightly tilted. Mdm Geon would definitely notice if anything has been rearranged or touched.

"Where did this come from..." She mumbled to herself as she noticed a potted plant on a marble table that was out of place.

Walking nearer to the table, she started to notice that was something even more unusual that the pot being out of place. Halting her footsteps, she observed the grave image infront of her. Her heart skipped a beat causing her breathing to get heavier. Reaching out for the pot, she braced herself for the surprise that was waiting for her as she turned it around and discovered the horror behind this potted plant.

"How is she?"

Chayoung was on the way to the Palace when she received an emergency alert from the Chief through her earbud. Another subtle yet equally terrifying attack has taken place in the palace. This time round, it involved a 60 year old house maid. She blacked out after discovering a potted plant that has had its soil soaking in pig's blood and a photo of Prince Valentino floating in it.

Chayoung was immediately deployed to check on the house maid's condition and was tasked to update the team promptly.

"We can confirm that Mdm Geon has passed out from shock." The doctor said as he took a step back from the bed Mdm Geon laid in. "Her blood pressure is rather low and her temperature is dropping to dangerous levels. Due to the impact of the fall as well, there seems to be multiple bruising on her head and body."

Nodding in acknowledgement, she promptly writes it down on her little notebook.

"As of now, it's best that we transfer her to a hospital to get treated immediately."

"Please do so. I'll inform the others on your behalf." Chayoung assured the doctor. "Also, once you've settled everything, please call this number. I will be at the hospital today so I'll pay her a visit to get an update on her condition."

"Yes Ma'am."

Chayoung stood to the side to report on the incident to the Chief and the other Agents through the radio. It was totally absurd to her how once again, the incident took place in the vicinity of the Palace. The enemy was playing way close to home to not actually be here.

"Rooster to Chicks, has anyone checked the CCTV cameras? Over."

"Eldest Chick to Rooster, I did. Looks like the CCTV footage has been tampered with. There has been a time jump from 0300 hours to 0400 hours. Over."

"Rooster to Chicks, Eldest Chick, check the other CCTVs surrounding the towers, gardens and even the gates. There's got to be something. Also, does anyone have any updates on the evidence found on site? Over."

"Mid Chick to All, There's no other evidence left behind except for the potted plant and picture. No signs of break in either. Over."

"Rooster to Chicks. Mid Chick, bring the potted plant to HQ and hand it over to the Forensics Team. Get the report to me immediately once it's out. Copy?"
