Can you please turn around?

Hesitating for a while, the boys started to practice but seemed distracted due to a certain someone's presence. D was focused all along, but seeing the boys' cluttering behaviour, he decided to give them a break. He took this time to observe Zsadin. Today, she was wearing a black coloured full sleeved tshirt paired with blue jeans and had black snickers on. Her hair was tied in a bun. If D had not seen her in her raw avatar last night, her hair length would have forever remained a secret. As he remembered her last night, he couldn't help but smile and rub his neck awkwardly.

The boys gathered and ushered in the farthest corner, away from Zsadin.

"Man, I can't focus, she is making me nervous!"

"Same for me, I can't even look at her in the eyes, I regret it all".

"D apologized already, yet it is still sinking in. We disrespected her too much. Seriously, we are morons!" The boys muttered among themselves, regrettably. They didn't feel stage fear yet a feeling lingered that they were going for their first audition.

Finally D nudged the boys indicating that their break has finished.

"Come on, boys. Let's focus this time. Keep yourself together. Come on! One, two, three four, again one, two, three, four.", D said a little loud and encouraged them. He noticed that the boys were in distress due to Zsadin's presence, but he could not waste time. So he approached Zsadin who was observing the walls and floor to find any source of defect, "Officer, if you don't mind, can you please turn around, the boys are nervous". Hearing this, Zsadin raised an eyebrow feeling amused while others just chuckled trying to muffle their laughter, but failed miserably.

Zsadin glanced at them coldly while gave the boys a helpless look.

"Are you all really nervous?" and the boys nodded timidly. She obliged, but instead of turning around, she went directly out.

This confused D and he glanced at the others,

"Did I ask for too much? She won't keep a grudge just because of this, right?" Raanz shrugged while Vell and Sean threw him a thankful expression.

Standing outside the building, she glanced at Ryan who was positioned outside, who seemed a little surprised.

"Chief, weren't you inside the practice room?

Did they say something again?"

"They were bothered by me!"

"What? Like for real?"

Zsadin nodded to which Ryan just smiled. It was rare for her to speak much but her nodding was definitely a good sign. If she was angered she would have downright ignored him. "Don't fret over it, Ryan. Senior Chief speaked to them, they won't do or say anything unnecessary. Focus on your task".

Time passed away and soon it was afternoon. At about 2:45 pm, Zsadin dialed a number, "Hello, Officer Zsadin, central command. Can you send someone over with a car? Yes, please. Hmm...I am at the studio. Thank you very much".

Soon a black SUV arrived and the person driving it came out. The person glanced at Zsadin and bowed in respect while Ryan just flinched.

'Why is she here?'

'Has Chief deliberately called her?'

Seeing Ryan's behaviour, Zsadin felt amused.

'He is still wary of her!'

As if reading his mind, Zsadin nudged Ryan, "Relax, she just came to deliver the car. She isn't going back with us. Lily's going to kill her, if she tries anything".

Hearing their conversation, Allie just smirked to herself.

"Officer, would you like me to stay here to assist you? I was told that you are short of some manpower".

Sensing her mischief, Zsadin sternly refused, "No need. You can go back".

"Alright, Officer. See you", saying this she bowed back and winked at Ryan. "Hey Ryan, long time no see. How are you?"

"Yeah, fine before you came".

Ryan just blushed frustatingly, seeing which Zsadin was again amused.

"You wanna know a secret, you are still hot and I am still waiting for you".

"Get lost, Allie. You are not my type".

"I can become your type, try me!", she smirked, amidst her flirting, Zsadin cleared her throat to seemingly remind them of her presence. And Allie finally left.

'She is funny, she needs to come around often!'

'Is she even a woman? Why is she so open about herself?' Ryan just inwardly complained. He annoyedly looked at the retreating back of Allie, 'Why is she even existing?'

Soon, it was 3 pm and the batch came towards Zsadin and Ryan. As commanded, the batch divided themselves in two groups, boarded one car each and set off, while D stayed back with Zsadin. The interview was going to take place in the 24 Hours media studio.

On their way back to the villa, the batch couldn't help but praise the band members for their understanding the situation. They gave in to their absolute innocence act. The band members wanted to dig out more information about their attackers since their conversation with Senior Chief Lee. Whether it was out of curiosity or due to the urge to help Zsadin and prove themselves they wanted to find out more. They started to enquire about their attackers, seeking anything about them. But the batch avoided thosr questions and changed the topic. They knew better than to reveal anything, not that they knew much.

Ever since they started working on this task, they could feel their Chief's desperation to catch the attacker. She had slightly changed her tactics. She also seemed to be a little off about everything, but didn't display it. They were used to it, but still felt something amiss.

Finally the cars drove into the villa and everyone retired to their rooms.
