Napilitan umuwi ng Los Angeles si Alex-C dahil sa masamang balita. Dumalo sa burol ni Mr. Nickerson sina Monique Allison at Alex-C at para mas maimbistigahan pa ang kaso na pagpatay ni Mr. Nickerson.
"What a wimp!" sabi ni Monique Allison habang naguusap na silang dalawa lang ni Alex-C.
"The case is getting deeper. That old man seems a cool guy. But, why does he get involved with the drug syndicate?" taka ni Alex-C.
"Money issues... They are business partners. Right? I guess that this case was given to you.."
"Do we have issues, Monique?" she gave her a stern look.
"Mind your own problem. I have my own issues. You know. Things get complicated. I need to take a leave. Good luck!" sabi pa ni Monique.
"What? You are leaving this case. I thought we are partners." gulat ni Alex-C.
"You would get the idea soon. I already talk to our boss." paliwanag ni Monique. At saka siya naunang umalis sa burol ni Mr. Nickerson .
