Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"You may."Yana allowed shouting a bit.
The bureau door opened and an old man around the age of sixty entered it.
"Hello,you two must be the attorneys who saw the space two weeks ago."The man claimed friendly.Yana and Elijah nodded in agreement and with a smile.
"I'm Benjamin Johnson and I'm the one who kinda of speaks for all the residents in this building."He introduced himself with proudness.
"Ah,you must be the tailor,I saw your sign which hangs on your door."Elijah said smiling friendly at the old man."Yeah,but I'm here today,because all residents here have the same problem."Benjamin mentioned wanting Yana and Elijah's help.
"The administrator of the building has a problem with a group which often comes here trying to throw us out and have the building all by themselves in an illegal way,he couldn't handle the problem since he got the position not a long while ago."The old man explained.
"That's why I thought I should take charges and come here to sue them."He added.
Yana looked over at Elijah who just sit still.
"Do you know their names,sir?"Yana asked turning her gaze to Benjamin."No,I'm sorry,but I bet they'll return this week again."Mr.Johnson claimed with complete confidence.
Elijah just nodded and informed the old man"I'll take care,if they'll come."
Benjamin nodded and thanked and left the bureau.
"How will you take care of them?"Yana wanted to know looking at Elijah,"I'll find a way."He tried the assure her.
The following day... Yana and Elijah were working at the bureau,"You know,the thought that Miriam knows some information about Alexander kept bothering me for a few days."Elijah mentioned while filling some papers,Yana moved his gaze up to him.
"I need to find out."He muttered looking in nothingness toward her.
Silence stroke in the room for a few long moments until a bright idea popped into Elijah's mind.
"It's 01:00 now,I'm going to buy lunch."Yana informed Elijah standing up and picking her purse."Let me go grab it,I also have to withdraw some money."Elijah politely refused her to go.
Yana nodded in response while Elijah stood up and said after leaving a kiss on her lips"I'll be right back."
After five minutes someone knocked desperately at the bureau door,Yana immediately stood up and opened the door and she instantly made eye contact with a young woman who was at least twenty years old.
"They're here!"She said looking desperately and scared while behind here was the rest of the residents whose face searched for help.
"Well,well,well."Said a strange voice coming from the other hallway while all the residents gathered around Yana.
Suddenly a group of five men approached toward Yana and the residents."You're still not out from here."Says the leader who was dressed all white and the guys next to him all black.
"You're not allowed to be here!"Yana claimed trying to be tough."Ooh look who's talking?And who are are you?"Said the gang leader arrogantly."I'm an attorney and I work here,so please leave."Yana stated strongly.
The gang leader scoffed and snapped his finger on his right side to a man signalizing something.
The man nodded and approached the residents,Yana pushed him away,then again until the man approached for one more time and pushed her too before he grabbed her by the hair while everyone was too afraid to intervene.
The man raised his left hand up to hit Yana,but his hand got grabbed by someone else's hand and that hand was Elijah's.
He hardly rotated the man's hand making him cry in pain and so he let go of Yana's hair.
"N'essayez même pas!"Elijah warned him and pushed the man away so hard that he hit the wall.
In his anger,he wanted to attack Elijah,but he defended himself easily and smashed the man on the floor.Elijah was breathing a bit heavily while the gang leader smirked being impressed of Elijah's braveness.
"Attack!"Demanded the gang leader and the rest of the men did so.
Elijah firstly grabbed one by his shoulder and punched him mercilessly in the stomach two times and threw him on the floor.
The next one was about to give Elijah a punch,but he dodged it and hit the man in the ribs hardly making him lose balance and fell down.
And the last one got braved by the wrist and Elijah tossed him a few times against the fall until the man collapsed.
Elijah breathed more heavily than before and looked at the leader who was shocked about what just happened.
"I don't like to warn twice,if you're going to come here one more time,you'll regret it."Elijah warned him making himself clear."Now take your trashes and get out of here!"He demanded and turned around making eye contact with Yana who was still shocked.
He hugged her and asked"Mon amour,are you alright?"Yana nodded in his hug being happy that Elijah saved her while his heart was beating very fast against her chest.
Suddenly the leader ran away and let his men lying on the cold floor.Everyone thanked Elijah for his help and went back to their apartments while Yana went back in the bureau.
Elijah was still standing in the hallway calling his helpers,"Please come to 5th Avenue urgently."Elijah demanded to Pierre.
Jaques and Pierre arrived and Elijah demanded to bring them to the heartquarter since he was going to interrogate and kill them in the evening and so it was.
With their help,Elijah demanded to find the leader.
In the evening when Elijah arrived home and was in bed with Yana in his arms,he apologized sadly"I'm sorry!"Yana looked up at him."For not being there from the beginning."He added looking down at her."It's not your fault,you didn't know they would come."Yana tried to assure him.
"I promise that from now on I'll protect you better."He promised making Yana smile while hearing that.
They looked into each other's eyes and kissed when suddenly his phone chimed,the leader was found and the very next day was his death too.
