"So, when will we start?" asked Thomas

"Right now!" replied Emina "Eat your breakfast, wear formal attire, launch the cars and prepare your equipment, gloves, camera plus memory cards and back up battery, notebooks, markers, crime scene barricade tape, sterile swabs and disinfectant, first-aid kit, evidence tape, flares, flashlights with extra batteries, placards, measuring devices, audio recorder, tweezers, metal detector, cutting instruments, directional compass, a small cooling unit, magnifying glass, maps, thermometer, evidence collection containers and identifiers, roll of string, respirators with filters and lastly, a pocket knife. I also want some important kits, like blood collection kit, gunshot residue kit, entomology collection kit, multifunction utility kit, latent print kit, bloodstain pattern documentation kit, fingerprint kit, pattern print lifter kit, trace evidence collection kit, and sexual assault evidence collection kit, in addition to a team of professionals for collecting evidences. Plus do not forget your personal protective equipment like gloves, booties, hair covering, overalls, reflective vest and mask…"

"Roger that, miss!" commented Johan

"Of course roger that," stated Mehmet "but I could not memorize all of them, can you please repeat so that I can mark them down?"

"Pfffffttt!! I can not believe, Emina!" laughed Thomas "Be easy on your team!!"

"Oh my god! Why would we need all of these stuff?!" yelled Flora "Emina, did you lose your mind and started to hallucinate? Because I like that so that I could take your place!"

"She is just so excited," commented Joseph "and since she is the leader, we must obey her orders."

"I can not believe this." Added Thomas "You just culture the same habits! But luckily we did not lack any equipment when we used to investigate the cases together.. All of these days were full of pleasure and…"

"Yes, now hurry up," she interrupted "we barely have any time."

"Yes.."

"But miss, what about the grandfather?" asked Mehmet "I mean the victim's grandfather, did he answer you? What did you talk about? What did he tell you about the victim?"

"I tried calling him," she replied "but he did not answer, I am scared that he was killed as well or disappeared to anywhere, but I will keep calling him officially."

"Tried to call but did not answer, noted..."

"Mehmet," called Flora "please do not note every word she utters like a freak."

"Senior Williams, what if the grandfather does not want to answer or cooperate?" suggested Johan

"That would be expected, too." Stated Emina "He might be feeling embarrassed so that would be the reason for not helping out, but we can not deny the probability that he might be hurt as well, we shall check by ourselves."

23 September 2041, again to Saint Louis, Emina and her team went to South-east of the city, and specifically to South End Quick Stop shop, where the file showed that the little girl went to twenty years ago. She went into the shop wearing her black formal suit of a wide pair of trousers, a tight white shirt that could carve her 30f breasts and a sweater buttoned at her thin waist, with a formal monk strap shoes that could be easy for movements and running. Her ginger beer red-orange hair was cut in a very short bob with bangs, and she wore a slight dark bloody crimson lipstick that shone her pale yellowish face that had some dark under-eyes circles. She had a pair of diamond sea-like eyes that could freeze any male in love just like Medusa, and a button-small nose that looked like a cherry.

Her whole looks could create the aura of a fierce lioness, that could be sexy and attractive yet dangerous and unapproachable. Eyes were centered on her as she was getting down from the BMW M2 Coupé Edition Black Shadow until she entered the store with her group of badass looking detectives that were ready to prey on any monster. They looked like an important business men that were extremely wealthy, or a group of hazardous gang that could steal the store and kill all of the people in.

She approached the frontal desk, where the cashier was standing, and glared at him with a couple of blinding wild eyes that he could not even decide if they were magical or fearful.

"Where is the manager of this place?!" started Emina with an accusatory and malevolent tone "I would like to meet him if you please."

"Umm.. Uhhhh.." stuttered the cashier with an anxious voice "Who.. Who a… are you? Uhm.. Wha.. What do you want??"

"Can't she just talk in a sweet manner with a smile?" whispered Flora "As if she was talking to the criminal. I mean, did the poor cashier hurt her anywhere to be treated so coldly like this?"

Thomas giggled at Flora's words, as if he was saying: "This is my bad girl that I have to save from embarrassing situations..", and then approached the frontal desk towards Emina, he casted a warmhearted smile at the cashier, that could freeze his worries, and held Emina's hand as if he was telling her: "Leave the rest to me.."

"Excuse me, sir." Chuckled Thomas "Can we see the manager for a moment? We have to talk with him on some important matters."

"Umm.. But who are you?" replied the guy with a calm yet anxious voice "Why would I let you meet the boss?"

Thomas took out and showed his badge that showed his identification card and the FBI logo, and smiled again at the cashier to keep him at calm and sturdy condition, then he whispered in a low pitch: "Can you please let us meet the manager? We have some really important matters to discuss! But please, keep it a secret."

"It is my duty to serve the country's guardians!" stated the young guy "Please, follow me, mister!"

Thomas, Emina and the team followed the cashier into the waiting room, they walked in a group as both Thomas and Emina were leading them.

"Rule number one," talked Thomas to Emina in a funny tone "do not scare the citizens, witnesses, suspects and people who got involved in the case. Rule number two..."

"She is not hearing to you." Interrupted Flora

"Nice poem, Flora-pal!" commented Joseph

"…try to smile and act friendly.." continued Thomas in a disappointment

"Captain Thomas, why do you keep following her?" asked Flora "I mean, she really does not want you, just give up and have some pride and dignity. You are a handsome, prince-like, gentle and dreamy man, you can have any girl you desire. You can have another act of a true love."

"She saw my monster side…"
