I never thought the government would ever need our help in anything. But in their current situation, they didn't have other optional way. Until any of those children recover, we can't get any information. If they would have their phone with them, it would be a big help but ...bad luck. So for now, our research group are trying to recover their online accounts from where the children and the criminal used to communicate. But I've doubt we'll find anything. In my opinion, maybe there's a huge organization behind it and the main mastermind didn't play any active role in this case. What is there real motive! Doctor also confirmed that every organ in their body is present. They got kidnapped from Paris, but rescued from two different places- 1. Sabrina Martin (16), London, 2. Nina  Grovis (16) and Nathanial Aliard (18), Yokohama. Everything seems like dots, I just need to find the very certain line that connects those. 

I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice I've already reached Albedo ( building's name where I resides). I looked at my wrist watch and checked time. It's 8:14 pm. As per her words, I'm early today....I think so (my usual time is around 8:30). I took elevator and went to my apartment to fresh up first. As I stepped out from the elevator and reached to my room, I saw a figure's sitting on the corridor. I hide behind the pillar to rethink what I saw so I couldn't see the whole posture of the figure. A lady? A man? Whoever it is, it doesn't matter. It's nothing new to me. I have to change my resident quiet often because of this. My company work undercover but we have enemies. Last year one of the enemy association sent an assassin to kill me but for the sake of luck I shot him before he could fire. Very few of my executive employee knows my address. I take out my gun from by waist band and face the person from upfront. I can't give him any chance to pull the trigger first. I pointed my gun and came out from hiding. As I was going to shout that 'who are you', my eyes popped out by seeing the person's face.

For fuck's sake, it's Emma! She has fallen asleep, leaning on my locked door on the freaking corridor. Her phone was on her lap and she's sleeping like a baby. I put back the gun and take a deep breath and loosened my tie. This girl will give me heart attack any day, I'm sure of it. I clam myself first then try to wake her up. I poked her.

"Hey, wake up. The place...the place's dirty." What else I can say to a sleeping person!? 

"Oh it's morning already?" She yawned. "5 more minutes, please" and change her position from left to right. 

Sleepy Emma is the cutest. I take a photo of her without her permission. One photo didn't make a stalker, right? I want to watch her for a little long but I can't do that. I have to deal with her useless request first then I've to make further plans to solve the case before anything more serious happens with the remaining kids. I've already inform the police department not to make the news public and also requested to the parents of those kids who are in hospital now. 

"Emma, wake up. It's not morning, it's night and it's not your bed, you're on corridor. I'm Richard, not your babysitter." I shake her by her shoulder and put pressure in my voice. 

She opened her eyes lightly, looked at me for few seconds and give a silly smile. She give me sign to lean closer to her, I leaned. It caught me off guard when she suddenly warped her arms around my neck and loosen herself. I grab her by her waist by my one hand and put another hand onto wall to maintain balance. She kept her face straight to mine. Our lips, nose are few inches parted from each other. I am able to feel her warm exhalations clearly.  

"I told ya, 5 more minutes. You didn't pay any heed." She locked her dreamy eyes with mine. Her sweet seductive voice is making me to cross the invisible boundary of our so-called friendship.

 I collect my very last drop of my mental energy and said, "Quit it, Emma. Stand up. Let me unlock the door." I tried to push her back but she wrapped me more stronger.
