An hour before the Boutique opens, Yza asked Lief about the situation that happened yesterday
Yza: the words in the paper were all followed, so why did he need to die?
Lief: We just follow the guidelines, so everything was still ok
Yza: but, that police customer deserves to at least know our guidelines right?
Lief: For the service that we offer, he should have known that the price of his actions will thoroughly change the course of our service, Yes?
Yza: Well, poor man, may he rest in peace
( Roland brings the new batch of clothing to the shelves and joins the conversation between Lief and Yza )
Roland: Are we talking about the customer yesterday?
Yza: yes, too bad for him right?
Roland: that part where he died, we're out of that, don't you remember the oath that we take when we apply for this job?
Yza: I mean yeah, I guess that's that then
Lief: How about we sharpened our minds here huh,
( spraying the glass windows and glass doors ) Why don't both of you recite the oath, starting with you Roland, what's our company's words?
Roland: We listen, We follow, and We serve, hence impossible is just a word and not an obstacle to be feared, equality is our system for it shall be followed at all times, from servants to customers and customers to their orders, only the finest shall be placed and peak perfect shall be implemented, honor thy words, honor thy actions.
Lief: Good, and for you, Yza, will you please recite the rules of our services
Yza: Well of course...

Lief: As sharp as always, very good Yza, I'm really glad that the two of you remember the words that we must uphold in this job, and now, back to business.
After their morning routine, Lief gave the orders, and Roland and Yza go to their stations, as soon as the shop opened, an angry man walks directly toward Lief
Lief: Good morning, are we good? you don't look in a happy mood, Fred
Fred: The FUCK do you even think huh!
Lief: Let's calm down, and use words, shall we?
Fred: Fuck words, do you even know the reason why I am here?
Lief: Not too sure, hmm?
Fred: I did the job yesterday, I killed a fucking cop, a cop!, and I was paid in cents, are you fucking kidding me?!
Lief: Yes, lucky you, only you were paid yesterday, so what's the issue?
Fred: ( slams both his hands on the counter ) I did the job! so why on earth does the tags that I got worth nothing?!
Lief: Oh, about that, don't you remember, that once you owe the company, well basically, the company has the jurisdiction over the worth of the tags and wrappers that you get?
Fred: How on fucking fuck can I pay with cents?
Lief: ( just smile at Fred )
The main reason that Boutique 1306 was rebuilt in New Yolk city was that the Boutique in Zikago city was burned down, and the only suspect that was captured by the Cameras was Fred, and since Fred can't pay upfront, the company then decided that he can earn money to pay his debt by following the orders of the customers of the Boutique, and in the current time, his debt still afloat at $991,347.59 and since he accomplished the job yesterday alone, the worth of his tag was $1.00 and now his debt is standing at $991,346.59 which is making him crazy as the worth of a single wrapper or tag starts at $100 up to $1,000,000.00.
Fred: This is absurd! you scammers! how do you think can I pay my debt at this rate?!
Lief: Maybe if you decided on not burning down our shop in Zikago, maybe well be paying you the same amount as everybody else, and as you can see, you are the prime suspect here, the bad guy
Fred: ( kicks the counter and leaves the shop ) I'm not the criminal here, I didn't do that, stop accusing me of something that I didn't do!
Lief: Facts are facts, always.
People are crying as Harvey's coffin is getting lowered down to his grave, his parents, family, and friends also some of his police workmates were reminiscing the memories of the departed loved one.
One of the workmates is his junior officer, the one that accompanies him in the Boutique, as he was investigating the shop about the missing people that once go there. The name of the junior officer is Jonathan Perry, Harvey personally recruited him a year ago when he was only new on the job, and now, officer Perry will go back to his old crew.
Perry: ( his phone rings so he answers the call and leaves the area ) I'm on my way, sir.
A year ago, when Perry finally achieved his dream of becoming a Police officer, he fell prey to his seniors. While off duty, he saw one of the drug couriers roaming around a small dark alley, so his sense of justice kicked in and followed the man. While maintaining his distance from the drug courier, he saw that the courier suddenly takes out a foil and a lighter, then starts snorting the drug in the foil, to catch the courier off guard, Perry walks slowly behind the man, and another man suddenly pops out which surprised him and he accidentally pulls the trigger of his gun, his target flee away and the man that he gunned down died from bleeding. As he was panicking about what to do, he pull out his phone and called the other officers that befriended him. Officer Jax Salom, Officer Dexter Pordox, and Chief Officer Gary Boss answered his call. The answer to his problem is totally against his will, but since Perry is a greenhorn to the job, he just said yes. The three senior officers then offered the man that Perry was hunting a deal, and the drug courier accepted it. Right away when the 3 senior officers met the drug courier, they showered the man with bullets and Perry gave his seniors a complaint
J.Perry: What was that? shouldn't we bring him to our office first, how can you do this?
J. Salom: No, this is better, it's so late in the night, can't write too many papers for this asshole
D.Pordox: Chill young gun, our deal is to stop the crimes right? see this? no criminal, no crime, ok?
J.Perry: But still, we're supposed to be the...
G.Boss: Enough with this, our job here is done, your problem is gone, ok rookie? so let's go, can't make our wives waiting, right guys! ( and all of them chuckle into laughter ).
And that was the beginning of Perry's misery. He became the servant in the group as he owed his seniors a big thing. Only after a month that he realized after hearing things that his 3 senior officers who helped him, sabotage him, staged a play that Perry eventually take, and after falling into their dark plans, Perry became their servant.
While working on a case, G.Boss and the others keep ordering him to do their small businesses, from getting a coffee to cleaning their desk, Perry just follows until Harvey approaches him and offered him to be his partner. At first, his three senior officers complain but since all of them knew that Harvey's father was a high-ranking officer, they just let Perry go. But his happy times only lasted for a year, and Perry goes back as a servant to his 3 senior officers right after Harvey had died.
G.Boss: You're back son, glad to see you here again, where you belong huh?
J.Perry: Yeah, I'll be on my desk, sir...
G.Boss: Ok, and after you drop your things, please clean my desk, ok, I'm counting on you
J.Perry: Sure sir.
Night comes and Lief is almost done cleaning the shop, when a woman enters the door and looks around, wearing a black suit and black heels, she walks slowly towards Lief, but on her way, she spread her arms and starts plunging the products on the shelves to the ground, Yza and Roland came out of the staff room
Yza: Is she a customer Lief?
Lief: not too sure, I hope so
Roland: She looks like a problem Lief
Lief: Maybe, who knows, but since she's inside, I need to cater to her needs
Yza: Do you need our assistance, Lief?
Lief: No, I can handle this, as the Official store clerk, it's my job, how about the two of you wait for me in the Staffs room, ok?
Roland: On your word Lief, sure
Yza: as you say, Lief, be safe
Lief: Sure, I'll join the two of you there shortly
Right after Yza and Roland go back to the Staff Room, the woman attacked Lief.
