Saving the Assassin

Chapter 20: Trace

Chanyeol together with his secretary went early to do their pending jobs since last night of crime. Having 2 hours of sleep wasn't good at all so they decided to spend their new day at the office instead.

Though both fatigued, they decided to endure knowing their team is also working hard. It's not right for the leaders to slack off, resting, whilst their team is struggling to walk with lights off.

Baekhyun inserted the key to the doorknob when he noticed it was open after twisting it free without the click of unlocking. "Door's open? Who was the last person in the office?" He glanced at Chanyeol.

Baekhyun opens the door to find certain persons they didn't expect to be earlier than them.

In fact, not earlier than them, cause they never went home to cherish their remaining time of sleep since they finished at 4 am.

Luhan was there sleeping soundly on his table, scattered papers as his pillow, with a surveillance video playing on his monitor screen and a cup of unfinished coffee near his mouse.

Who knows how many cups have he taken... whilst Kris sat there at the couch with his head resting on its backrest.

"This guys looks wasted.." Chanyeol muttered under his breath. "They must have sent the maknaes home." said Baekhyun.

Chanyeol walked straight ahead to enter his own office, where they always brainstormed together.

"Should I wake them up?" Baekhyun sighed feeling pity with the two making Chanyeol stop at his door. "No. Let them rest. For sure if we wake them up, they would continue working." He said and Baekhyun obeyed, following Chanyeol inside leaving the two.

"Still no clues right?" Chanyeol asked plopping himself on his chair. "Unfortunately, no. The knife didn't have finger print traces." Chanyeol sighed and closed his eyes.

"Hey remember the last time we also watched the CCTV footage?" Baekhyun asked sitting across him.

"Wae?" He opened one eye to look at him.

"Don't you think there's something weird? When he passes the cameras, his face gets blurry."

"Yeah. I know. He must have some kind of lens distractor."

"But why didn't you tell me?!" Baekhyun whined.

"Would you do something if I tell you? Besides, the case would stay the same with you knowing it." Chanyeol mocked his older secretary. Baekhyun being a hyung tried to act hyung-ly and ignored the statement.

"What's the itinerary today?"

"House to house interviews." The chief plainly said.

"What? It's not our job to do." The latter part stated his side hiding his whining tone.

"It's time we make a big move too."

Kai layed peacefully on his bed whilst Jae Mi kept damping the wet towel on his forehead every five minutes. She compared her temperature to him and apparently, it was somewhere above 38 degrees.

"Just what have you been doing Kai?" She asked the innocent sleeping guy.

She went out to his living room and took a nap on his couch. She woke up around 3 pm and checked on Kai. He was sweating as his fringes were visibly wet.

"That's good." She mumbled whilst walking her way towards the bed. Sweating would make your fever come down but once it dries up without you changing or wiping it, it might lead to somewhere like Pneumonia.
