He walked in and bypassed his receptionists desk, which was empty. He opened the office door and caught Devon with his receptionist bent over his desk. "What the hell!" He snapped not impressed. He quickly covered himself and his embarrassed receptionist left grabbing the remainder of her clothes that were strewn across the floor.

Reece looked at him.

"No.. I want to know why you paid for Sera to be murdered...

Devon stared at him, his eyes flickered and then he shook his head. "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about..." he said. "why would I want her dead, I gave her money to move away from you, why didn't I do it then?."

"Is it really... you know once I have a hunch about something I'm never far wrong!.. let me dig deeper and find you at the root of this and I will make sure that you will pay for this.." he told him. "From now on I'm watching you.." he turned and left.

Devon stared after him.

She walked across to the bar. "Do any of the girls in this bar go by the name of China?."

"And you are?.."

She showed her badge. "So?." She said.

The bar tender pointed over to the stage that China was standing next to, she wasn't working just hanging around with her co-workers.

"Hi... Which one of you is China?"

China looked at them both. "That would be me, why?" she said defensively.
