Marleen was breathing laboriously as soon as she reached the ground floor. She takes a deep breath and continued running outside the apartment, she ferret around in search of that guard and she found no one. She got disappointed but doesn't stop searching for him.
...on the other side...
"WHY ARE YOU BOTH CHASING ME LIKE A SPY, HUH? DAMN, TWO OF YOU EVEN MEDDLING ON MY DATES. " Cabie was yelling at them and others in the cafe watching closely to them.
"Cabie, why are you making chaos here, please calm down. We will explain. " Vivan whispered.
"Oh, so I'm making chaos. Right? " She spoke sharply.
"ENOUGH," Taylor said in anger, "Let's go Vivan" Taylor left with Vivan from the cafe house.
The guy seemed to be very impressed with Cabbie's intelligence. He looked at her and smirked. She smirked back.

"You can't escape now" Marleen was pointing her gun at the guard's head from the back.
"W-who are you ?" Guard trembled and started turning around his head slowly "Y-you!!" He got frightened as he could remember that night.
"Leave me, L-leave me please, I did everything on my boss's order please." He begged as the gun was pointing at his head because She looked way too serious that she can easily shoot his head off.
"Was David your boss?" Marleen made her hands tight and asked furiously. "SAY, WAS HE?" She growled.
"Y-yes he was my boss." The guard said trembling.
"AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY?" She asked.
"Boss was in hurry he said that he have to plan his fake mur..." The guy got silent all of the sudden.
The guard before he could complete his sentence got shot in his head from nowhere and died at the scene.
"HOLY FUCK!!! NOOOOO" Chills went through her spines "W-WHO DID THIS, OHH NOO." She holds her head.
She immediately rolled her eyes in every direction to find the person who killed him but found no one. She kicked in the air "IT'S BAD. IT'S BAD. " she starts clenching her teeth in anger.
Marleen kneeled and holds the guard's collar then began to jerk his body "BE ALIVE, I SAID BE ALIVE. TELL ME THE TRUTH!!! BE ALIVE!!!" She cried out in pain. "I want to know the truth, please..."
Soon then when she was jerking his collar someone throw a piece of paper at her which was rolled outside a stone.
"Huh... " She took that piece of paper and unfolds it, there was a message written with blood.
She tore the paper furiously and grinds her teeth "ARGHHHHH----!!" and throws it away.
"DAMN YOU, DAVID. I KNOW IT'S YOU BEHIND ALL THIS. I WILL NOT LET YOU WIN THIS TIME. " She spoke harshly and stood up.
'Just 12 days' was written on that piece of paper.
"But... what was the guard tried to say fake David's mur... ? " She get into thinking and gasped a few seconds later "MURDER?"
"It means, David faked his murder and m-my doubt was right." Her jaw dropped. "But why would he do this" She again thought to herself.
After a couple of minutes, she normalised herself and called the ambulance for the dead body then went back to her apartment.
Ash was eagerly waiting for her to come inside the room.
"Hey, I'm back," Marleen said calmly.
"Where have you been and- that pistol? " Ash is concerned.
"I saw the guard which I told you about earlier. Remember?" Marleen questioned.
"Yep I do, that guard from that night. Did you see him?" Ash asked curiously.
"Hmm--!" She nodded.
"Oh wow... Did you get any clue or evidence?" Ash continued questioning.
"No Ash, I couldn't. " Marleen said disappointedly.
"Huh?" Ash confused.
"Yeah, as soon as he began to tell... someone shot him and he died on the spot. I-" Marleen was now speechless and disappointed as well.
"w-what?" Ash asked shockingly.
"Yes," She nodded "Ah, by the way, you were about to show me the documents related to James White? Show me. " She continued.
"Oh yes, here" Ash passed the files to her.
...on the other side...
"Well played miss" The guy in the cafe with Cabie praised.
"Thank - you" Cabie replied, "So, what is the message from my David" She smiled.
"Nah... not a message but a help," The guard said.
"What help?" She questioned.
The guy put his hands inside the pocket of the coat and put out a slip of paper and handed her over "This- Boss, sent you this. "
Cabie took that paper and unfold it "WHAT?"
That guy smirked...
