Alex searched around every corner of the room for the missing dagger but couldn't find it anywhere.
Just then, someone knocked on the door thrice in a rhythmic pattern.
Recognizing the knocking pattern, Alex walked over to the door and opened it.
"Boss," The leader of Alex's ruthless gang, Blade, saluted.
"Come in," Alex ordered in a deadpan tone.
Blade gave a nonverbal code to the four combat ready men behind him, to position themselves outside the room. Then he alone entered the room and shut the door.
Blade frowned when he observed the dead man on the floor and his boss's lover lying unconscious on the bed.
"Blade, I want a thorough investigation and answers in the next forty-eight hours. Find out the names and location of the bastard who perpetrated this crime." Alex brought out the dagger case from Stella's bag and gave it to Blade.
