I'm tapping my finger as I stared to the wall in front of me. "Ms. Turner, Mrs. O'Kenna called you." Said Xyna. I don't know how many times his wife called me.
I'm bored. I leaned my back and sighed. "Why she..." my door bell was ringing. I opened the door.
Linda shows me a bag of food. "I thought..."
"You won't let me get inside first?" I opened my door for her and let her get inside to my room. "So, what's bring you to your gutter?"
Don't say like that, Lynx. This place is a studio apartment. I took a deep breath and looked at her. "Seems like you will take examination again?"
I'm nodding my head and sits next to her. "Our house fills empty without your presence there, Alexa. Why you moved out?! If it's because of..."
"No, it's not because of my partner. It's just..." I sighed. Linda grabbed my hand and placed it on her chest.
"You're human. Not a Xilor, Azterk, or any kind of alien exist in this universe. It's fine to be scared, or..."
"I-It's not like that Linda!" I pulled my hand sighed. She standing up, there put the paper bag on my coffee table.
"If you..."
"I trapped him through Cherry." She widen her eyes and gasped, covered her mouth.
"That means... you also killed Chucky!?" I pulled her and try to calm her. This studio walls are so thin. All ears and eyes, they everywhere.
People nowadays easy to make a rumor. I took a deep breath and sighed. "Keep it quite!" This woman sometimes made my head spinning like a wheel.
I rubbed my face, sighed. Am I the worst person ever lived, now? "Do you want my opinion or..." I'm looking at her with a tears on my eyes. "O-okay... I get it."
She hugged me and stroke my hair. "Am I..."
"No, you're not. You don't have the plan to do it, right?" I'm nodding my head. All the praise I've got, it's nothing. I can bring that serial killer back to his place, but not my partner.
He got fired after the our Supervisor found that he was guilty. His wife got pregnant and now, they received criticism from all people around the world. Even the President want this case taken care with openly and transparent for the public.
"I do." She sighed and tapped my shoulder. "Am I the worst in your world, Lynx?! I don't know if I can in the force without him." She nodding her head.
"At least... he's not going to the prison, right? So, why you still sad about that!? What if your brother say if..."
"Don't you dare compare me with him, Lynx!" I took a deep breath and exhale. Besides the fact he was a leader of the most radical rebel group in this world could have back then.
They against all Red Sentinel branch. That's all I've got from Katarina. Some of files need high permission access. I can asked Lynx to access that file, but will she?
"Linda..."
"I think I should leave." I hold her hand and pulled her to my side. "You... change your mind or need something?" No, it's too risky. I can't involved her too far.
"Do you know... where's all the Law Enforcement's case file stored?" I shouldn't asked it to her.
"It's on... Red Sentinel's HQ. Why?" She asked.
I shook my head as the response. It could be the safe number or case file. "Ah... n-never mind."
She furrowed her brow. "Do they found out you're the killer?" Of course not. I grabbed my jacket. "Alexa! You..."
"I... want to go to Kenneth's house. Maybe I need him as my partner in crime." I'm wearing my jacket and sighed.
Look at me! An honest and hard working officer, turns out I'm a serial killer. Am I looks like Dexter Morgan? That old television series telling about a forensic scientist who has a double live. Just like me.
I watched several old movies and some of them are just too good. If I give him this job, maybe he will forget about everything and get back to get his job.
"Do you want to... use them? I don't know why you..."
"Yes, the damage already done, right? Soon or later, his wife will giving a birth. They will need money." I'm leaving Linda alone with Jynx. I hope she doesn't make my new gadget malfunction.
She will smiles happily after I say that words to her.

I'm knocking on the door and waiting he or his wife to answer. I put my ears on the door. Where's anybody!? "Alexa?"
I turn around and saw. That's Kenneth's son, Theo. "I'm looking for..."
"He's not here!" I'm looking at Theo.
I'm squatting in front of him and give him a paper. "Can you... go with my android for ice cream? I need talked something with your mom." He looks at him, looking for approval.
"You can go." Jynx leaves with Theo with C-Cash in his hand. "What do you want!?"
I took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm not suing him for the attack, but my chief insist to put this case send to the court." She sighed and opened the door for us to talked.
"I'm sorry for the mess. Since he's got fired, all we did is..."
"It's fine, Maria. All this mess was my fault. He told me to not bring my body cam and... and..." She sighed and tapped my shoulder.
"It's his fault. He shouldn't entered that trap in the first place and obeyed to you." I took a deep breath, sighed. I sits on the barstool as she pours the water inside my glass.
"How's your pregnancy?" I'm scanning her entire kitchen and found a unpaid utilities, rent, credit cards payment, and electricity. "I heard Kenneth..."
"How's your hand?" I raised my eyebrow. "I know my... husband is a violent man when he got angry, so..." She tried to wiped her tears.
"It's fine, Maria. We know each other for so long." She lean her back on the sink, then sighed.
"After he got released and fired, IRS suspect him for tax evasion and he fined. Everything is alright until he got into gambling problem. He... opened credit card under my name and took all my savings..." I hold her body and sits her on the dining chair.
I took a deep breath and sighed. "I wish I could help, but..." don't do this, Alexa.
"But?" She furrowed her brow. "Tell me! Do you have a job or..."
"Yes! I have a job, but... it's a bit risky. I can't let you to have it, Maria." She grabs my hands and looking into my eyes with her teary eyes.
"Please..." I took a deep breath and sighed. What I should say to her husband.
"Maria?! Who's coming?" Kenneth approaching us, then pointing his gun at me. "You..." here we go again.
