six years later.
"Kaitlyn aren't you coming with us to visit the Torres." her father inquired.
"No dad I have to report to work for orientation on my next assignment. Give my regards to auntie and uncle "
"What's this assignment? I hope you won't be putting your life on the line. I really wish that you quit investigative reporting and settle on normal reporting like entertainment. " her mother said worriedly.
"Mom you know that's were I'm good at, and besides it is my passion. I won't be happy doing those entertainment news where I have to lick asses to some celebrities just to get some scoop".she defended.
" Just be very careful sweety." her father said.
"This assignment is very dangerous , I have personally chosen you three to work together. I base my decision on your past achievement. But if you have second thoughts feel free to voice it out, and if you feel you can't do it, your free to quit." their boss explain.
"As for me boss, it sure is dangerous but I can't help but being challenged. So count me in." Kaitlyn replied, and seconded by the other two.
Her two colleagues were in this line if work long before her, but they respected her professionally because of her dedication and unbiased exposé. she is also fierce, fiery and fearless in gathering her data, which leaves her parents worrying for her safety.
Little did they know that she is actually an undercover working for a government agency that helps bust corrupt officials. and her pen name is just a cover to protect her real identity, even her parents had no knowledge of this. lest they will worry and nag her to quit.
on the other hand she is very careful of her real identity.

Douglas on the other hand is also on the law enforcement dealing with dangerous drugs. Assigned in another city, and he is on the assignment of busting a government official by getting close to his mistress. Being good looking himself it was easy for him to attract his subjects.
"You look very refreshing and I can understand why the mayor is so crazy about you honey." he said to the woman who just walk to his table.
"Don't look now but I am being followed Gus, got suspicious already. " she place a USB conspicuously at the table an suddenly pick a fight to him. He played along while secretly place the USB at a notch under the table. and angry words are being exchanged. She slapped him, then suddenly three muscular men seized him and dragged him out of the restaurant.
They beat him up but his back-up appeared and the three man fled to unknown direction. "Huh that was close" he said. "Are you OK?" He nodded and added "quick retrieve the USB under table six at Three o'clock." his look-out inside the restaurant already took the item, while the suppose to be rescuer brought him to the police station.
"Are we clean?" he ask his men. "Yes, sir!"
"Good job! about time we examine the contents of this thing. I hope she was alright, before we can apply for her to be in the witness protection."
"Tell me Sophia! are you making a fool out of me!" the mayor shook her to get a reply from her.
"No baby your the only one, I could never cheat on you! please stop your hurting me!"she was down on her knees, sobbing asking and begging the way she knew that would soften him. She was already bruised by his manhandling her. She paid no mind to the aches and pains thinking that after this, she will be free from this sinful life.
Doug promised her a new and simple life away from here.
Seeing her down on her knees begging, he pulled her up and embraced her as his life depended on it.
" I'm sorry sweetheart. its just I don't want another man get closer to you. I get so madly jealous, specially now you know the authorities and my rivals are closing on me .they might use you to get through me."
"Believe me baby I didn't know that man."
"It's Ok, don't ever let me down. I'm so sorry." and he kissed her tears and lead her to the bedroom.
In a villa on the outskirt of the city, surrounded by arm men with high caliber weapons a group of men is having a conference discussing their deadly illegal business.
"The mayor is getting hot with authorities." one of the man sitting on the table said. Everyone on the table look at him then to the man sitting in the head of the table, waiting for his reaction.
"It seems like he's becoming more of a liability than an asset, You know what to do. I want it done as soon as possible."
