Haley didn't border to look up when she heard the voice of Inspector Victor as she knew he would surely come down to meet her. She wished she could avoid him but then it was not possible.
True to her words she saw him marching to him with fury in his eyes. Eric and Brain quickly moved some distance from him because they knew harsh words were about to be exchanged.
"Oh Detective Haley you are here" Haley heard another voice call out to her. She quickly turned to see the manager of the mall standing by her side. She broke into a smile as she was glad she would not need to exchange words with Inspector Victor.
"Yes I came here as soon as I can" she replied him.
"Did you call her here? Inspector victor asked looking at the young manager with a deep frown on his face that suggested he wasn't happy with the arrangement.
"Yes I did"
"Then why did you call us here when you have already called her. This is nonsense " inspector victor quickly reacted as he spoke like she wasn't present with them.
"I am sorry sir, you were called by the owner of this place. I only called Detective Haley because she was initially the person who asked us to keep the guard in custody till she comes back before he was killed " the manager explained to him.
Haley noticed the look of anger on his face gradual change to that of curiosity. For the first time he looked at her directly while ignoring the manager.
"How is that you ordered for the detention of this man befor he was found dead? He asked looking at her suspiciously.
Haley didn't know if she should answer him or just go straight to seeing the crime scene. The way he had ignored her when he came down she felt it was her turn for a pay back.
"Please manager can I have a look at the crime scene? She asked ignoring inspector Victor like he didnt just ask a question. She could hear Eric and Brain chuckle behind her.
"This way please" The manager said leading the way.
"You have no rights to go there this case belongs to the northern police station " She heard Inspector victor Yelling furiously but she ignored him as she continued in her walk down to the detention house where he was kept.
"We think the same man who came here earlier was the one who killed him. From the CCTV we saw him return some minutes after you left" the manager informed her as they got to the room.
"Eric please have a look at the cameras" she ordered Eric.
"Inspector Victor already have possession of the records"
"Are there no backup somewhere? She asked knowing it would be difficult for him to allow her go through it with what she just pulled on him.
"No maam, he took everything " the manager replied.
Haley had a good look at the dead man befor her. Who ever killed him was a professional. Just a single shot to his head. The style of professional hitmen.
"Maam if I may ask why did you ask for him to be detained? Brain asked curiously.
Haley thought for while if she should tell them what really happened. At that moment her phone rang and it was from her former partner Klinsmann. She quickly picked the call as a means to escape that question for now.
"Yes Klinsmann what do you want? She asked sounding upset.
"Relax Haley, is this a way of thanking me for finding the person that abducted you.?
"What are you saying? Haley asked alarmed.
"Yes, I have found the man who abducted you, he is right here in the station with me" Klinsmann informed her with a wicked laugh on the other end.
Haley immediately became restless as her mind went to Pedro
