Fireworks and Finale (I)

Aran's composure lasts all day, defying the SIT and Seyon's expectations. Even if the youngster is frustrated inside, he doesn't show it. Near the end of workday when Seyon and Soham are about to enter the interrogation room, professor Arindam appears in the monitor room, aided by a renowned and the CID's ACP in flesh.

Seyon watches in bewilderment as the warrant he brought is declared null.

"Aran can't be detained beyond twelve hours. You can take him again with a fresh warrant inspector. Shall we take him out then?" the middle-aged lawyer says with a toothy grin.

Seyon and Soham curl their fists. Neither of them wants to send Aran now, without questions asked. But there's little they can do.

As they watch in mute silence, a staff member unlocks the door to the interrogation room. Aran stalks into the monitor room to meet his mentor and the lawyer. With a placid smile, he nods at Soham and Seyon.

"Ha. Pretending to be the composed kid until the end." Seyon snorts once he's alone with Soham again. "This is wasted potential. But some civilian stalks into the monitor room? With a lawyer? Does he want to threaten us?"

Soham shakes his head. Seyon continues to ramble. "Hey, maybe this breach will help us get rid of him once and forever! This is plain abuse of power whatsoever bringing outsiders into the CID's office rooms. It's time ACP Pandiyan will pay for his crimes. Heh, I have a feeling that Aran's due payment will be done."

This time Soham doesn't say what if Aran isn't the slasher?

"Let's calm down, Seyon, we can get another warrant."

An hour later, Thiya frowns, listening to what transpired. Seated in her chair in hall 57, she was excited to see Seyon walk in with Soham. But the news they brought isn't a good one. Seyon's multiple-fold determined expression stirs worry in her heart. Without doubt, he will do something reckless if she doesn't guide him in the right direction.
