Hellow lovelies! I missed you all so i'm doing an update. Enjoy!

********

I woke up from an uneasy sleep. There are so many questions I had in mind. I did my bathroom routine and was ready to have a breakfast. I made my way to the kitchen. Its already 9 am and the mansion seems too quiet.

"Good morning, P'! can I have some breakfast please?" I asked the cook.

"Good morning nong Beam. Is stir fried rice and some tofu good enough?" he asked.

"That would be perfect, P' Thank you!"

"Please wait in the dining room. I'll have your coffee ready first" he dismissed me and I go straight to the dining room. I'm quite familiar with the place now since my last visit. The food was delicious and the coffee woke me up. Now I'm ready to start the day.

I was lounging at the receiving area when I saw Pran and Pat walking inside. Still in their somber face. I run up to them.

"Pran, whats going on? Can you please fill me in?" I asked.

"Oi, Beam, your awake. The Boss instructed us to bring you to him when you're up. He didn't want to wake you up since he saw last night that you were practically a zombie." He joked but not the same tone he used to have. There really is something wrong.

"Let's go. Let's not make the Boss wait." Pat in his stern voice.

We just nodded and made our way to the Boss's office. We knock, Pat announces our presence and was told to enter. The doctor was also there reading some file that I believe was the result of our autopsy last night.

"How was your sleep, Beam? Did you rest just fine?" asked the Doctor.

"Yes Doc, I did. How about you?" I asked in return.

"I'm good Beam. Thank you for asking." He spoke.

"Pran, Pat, ready all the things that we need. Art and Kong is already working on it. I want the result today. Help them out. Beam, You stay here. We will fill you in." Said the Boss in his commanding and authoritative voice.

"Yes Boss" Pat and Pran chorus. Pran gave me a nod and they are out of the room.

"Beam, sit down. I want you to try and understand all the things we are going to say. No questions just yet and let us finish first."- The Boss.

"Yes Boss" is all I could mutter feeling the tense atmosphere.

"Start, Doctor" he said.

"He was strangled to death and was later made it like he chokes in his food. There we're multiple indication of such. At first glance, I was convinced it was a natural death but Beam was quick to notice some irregularities like some trauma in the neck from the outside. If Mann did die due to choking, those traumas should be inside. Beam's assumption is as good as mine. Mann was strangled with something soft. So, we believed he was first knock out of consciousness before being killed. I also found the bruise in his stomach from possible punch which made him lose consciousness. if he felt any pain while dying? I don't think so. So, you can rest your mind knowing that Mann go in a peaceful death. Not being tortured like how you feared at first" The doctor narrated and I still listen even if I know most of them already.

"Boss, You know they want you to do something reckless, I am not stopping you because Mann was also my friend. But I want to advise you to be tactical about this. You can't just go berserk. Mann was your good advisor before things happen to him and as long as I can remember he was very much effective with his job. Think what Mann would tell you what to do in this situation. I know for sure he doesn't want you to put yourself in an unnecessary danger. We were still beating ourselves up when you were captured before Beam rescued you." The Doctor continued. The Boss was just listening intently. Eyes darting from me and the Doctor.
