(Nogla POV)
I didn't expected so many compliments, especially not from my boss. But here I was, sitting across of him when he was praising me.

"You're truly amazing! How did you do that?" He asked me for a millionth time.

"I mean I didn't do it. It was Delirious."

"Yeah, yeah, but how did you made him to kill Ryan?"

I laughed, shrugging my shoulders innocently.

"I just did. We had a little chit-chat together."

It was at that moment when the door opened and we both saw Vincent, my co-worker, with the man I slightly recognized from TV and news.

"I'm sorry to disturb you but mister Fong here has a few words to say," Vincent informed us, leaving us alone.

"Can I talk with you in a private?"

So this is the father of Evan? Interesting.

I stood up to let them be alone, but George stopped me.

"Stay, David."

"Mister Oswaldski, you have to find my son. Somebody called me in the middle of the night saying that my son is dying today. You have to help me!"

I frowned, feeling unpleasant.

I know that Delirious has his son, and I know he decided to kill him, but why did he call his father about it? That doesn't make any sense. Unless there's somebody else involved. Maybe Tyler? Maybe he's the weak point in the chain.

"Calm down and sit. I thought that your son is missing for a longer period. Maybe he isn't in danger, he may have just run away," Greg said calmly.

"You don't understand! I had a phone call... you have to find him!" He shouted desperately.

"Sir, what exactly did that person tell you. Was it a man or woman?" I asked.

"I... I don't know. Fucking hell find him!"

Greg inhale to speak but I jumped into his speech.

"We can't help ya if you don't tell us everything."

"What else do you want to hear? Somebody called me and said that Delirious is planning to kill my son!"

"We're looking for this Delirious guy. But we don't know how he looks or anything about him. I can't promise your sons safety, but we'll do everything that is in our might to get him back to you,"Greg informed him.

Why is Greg lying? I know Delirious' appearance. We could save Evan. But why would he came to FBI after some time? Evan has been missing for like three weeks.

"Do something, please!"

Greg looked at me, and I slowly nodded when I understood what he wanted. It was my time to shine as a knight on the white horse. I'm salvation for Evan, strong rescuer.

I just need to find him, that's all.

"Excuse me," I said, leaving them both behind me.

I almost ran to my office, completely forgot that I was here with Lui in the first place. I sat behind my PC, waiting for it to open. At that moment my door opened and I saw Lui.

"Give me a few more minutes. I just need to find something, and we're good to go," I informed him, my eyes till glued to the monitor.

"How long, David?" His voice full of anger, confusion and desperation.

I stopped with everything, turning myself to face him. I was confused. He barely used my name. I knew something was wrong.

"What?"

"How long are you in touch with Delirious? When did you find him?"

My heart stopped beating, when through me flew fears. I couldn't speak, I couldn't move. I just stared at him.

How did he find out about this? From who? Fuckin' hell what should I say?

"So it's true!" He raised his voice, turning himself to leave.

I jump out of my chair and grabbed him by his hand, stopping him in movement.

"Lui," I started carefully, seeing the tears in his eyes.

"Don't! You fucking knew I was looking for him, all those years. You fucking knew he hurt me like a bitch! That I was suffering and you didn't care enough to tell me that you found him?"

"Lui," I tried to get a word in our conversation, but he didn't let me.

"That was it, huh? That friend and the fucking bully! Everything make sense now. Bully was Delirious. How could you do that to me!?"

"But that was an order, Lui! We had to save our president, Ryan wanted to kill him! What else should have I done?" I defended myself.

"Order? So orders come in the first place for you? Even before your partner?"

"No! That's not like I..."

I was cut off by our boss who came to my office.

"David, grab your things. We have some witness claiming that he saw Evan Fong few days ago. That's our clue."

No! I can't leave now. I have to explain myself to Lui.

But Lui didn't give me any more chances. He stormed out, leaving us behind.

"David!" My boss shouted, and I was finally able to move.

I felt like all my dreams just shattered. I didn't want Lui to find out the truth. That wasn't fair! Everything should have go by my plan, and now the vision of me and Lui were more distant then ever before.
