Chapter 7 - Different duties

Pedro Torres is the name of Haley's one time boyfriend while she was at school. He was one of those students in her school who were on scholarship from the government. She didn't really know much about him as he had always hidden his family from her under the excuse that they were not in the country. There relationship lasted only one year and was not really eventful hence sometimes she even forgets that she once dated someone like that.

The Pedro Haley could remember was a lanky timid boy with sparkling eyes who always looked like he was being forced into every conversation with anyone. But the one she could see befor her was someone who had transformed into a muscular man. She thought maybe they only had same face but we're different people hence she was immediately curious to see him face to face.

"Do you know him? Brain asked again peering into her eyes that seem lost.

Just she was about to give an answer reluctantly the door flung open with Klinsmann coming in.

"The captian wants to see the both of us" he said without a smile on his face ignorant of what just happened some minutes ago.

She twisted her face in frustration at he sound of that. She was hoping to go see this person for herself but then the call of the captain was more important.

She headed straight for the office of the captain with Klinsmann by her side. There was an unusual silence from Klinsmann but she didn't border to ask why. She assumed it must be on of his tactics. Besides she was still cracking her brain about this person with the face of Pedro and body of another person.

"Maybe it could be someone related to him" she said with a shrug of her shoulders

Captain Neon was sitting with two files on his tables when they both walked in. He immediately glances at his wrist watch asif to check if they were on time on not.

Haley has never been a fan of her captain but she had always have to obey him because she didn't want anyone to think she was being stubborn because her father is a general in the army.

"Take you seats, I will be as brief as possible as I can be " He said without an expression on his face.

Haley wondered if she should ever bring the disccusion she heard between her father and him or she should just forget about it and work on it on her own.

"Thank you sir " they both appreciated him before sitting down.

"As you both know, we have two important cases on our hands right now. One is the murder of Joan the daughter of the minister and the second is the abduction of Haley Drinkwater. " he spoked herself she was not even the one sitting before him.

Haley knew he was trying to be profession so she allowed it slide

"Klinsmann you would handle the case of th abduction while Haley you will handle the case of murder. I want both of you to work separately. You will need to divide you team into two to achieve what is at hand " Captain Neon ordered them.

"But sir why can't we work on these cases together as we have always done? Haley asked looking concerned as she looked over at Klinsmann who still hade the cold look on his face . She knew this was plan to shut her out of that case completely so culprit could be killed if they like.

"These are high profile cases and as such must be treated separately and urgently. And yes this cases will determine which of you will be promoted to be the inspector. Anyone who solves his case first will be the one to be appointed into that position " Captian Neon added this time with a smile on his face.

It was now Haley understood why Klinsmann has been keeping that cold look. He must have been informed before hand about this arrangements hence he didn't show any surprise.

Haley wanted to say something else but decided to keep quiet. She would trash it out with Klinsmann when they go outside.

Suddenly the alarm in the building went off, ringing through the breath and length of the building and everyone became hyperactive..

"Sir one of the prisoners has escaped " one of the policemen rushed in to inform the captain

"
