Just stop this rendezvous!

The boys sat in the main Hall, surrounding D like he was a murder suspect. Their eyes leaked of anger, hurt and curiousity.

"Why didn't you tell us about it?"

"Have you lost it?"

"You too betrayed us!"

"I am not talking to you!"

And D smiled. He was smiling, actually grinning.

"I was to tell this to you all but Officer declined. She was thinking that you won't be able to cope up with it or won't believe her", his tone getting gentle as he spoke about it.

The boys went quiet for a while.

"What about you, did you believe her?" Sean had touched his sore spot and D was reminded of his conversation regarding this.

"Mr. D, he IS acquainted with Mike. Believe it or not, just carry my gun and handcuffs", her voice was demanding.

"Officer, you would be proven wrong. Let's make a bet. If Ron is not involved, you will date me-"

"And if he is, just stop this rendezvous!"

D smiled at her while she taught him to use the handcuffs as fast as possible.

"Hey D, D to earth?", the boys pulled him out from his flashback.

"You didn't answer! You believed her, right?", Fobi was expectant.

"No, I didnt...."

"What? You seriously need medical assistance D, should I recommend someone?", Vell mocked him.

"Man, I even made a bet...."

"D, seriously? Like should we just drop you into some mental asylum?", frustrated Sean smacked him on his shoulder.

"Wait-wait, you made a bet? Care to elaborate?"

"I bet on my wooing process. Seems like I have to give up on it!", D was dejected to the core.

'No one is as stupid as I am!'

"Whaaaat? D, man why don't you just shoot us all? In the head?"

"D, you have topped up in terms of foolishness! Damn, I thought I was the foolish one here", Fobi shaked his head.

D returned to his room and dozed off.

"Officer, interrogate Ron and Mike", Jacobs declared without making any eye contact with Zsadin.

"Chief Jacobs, I want to interrogate Brandon! I will interrogate him!"

"Have you forgot? What if you couldn't control yourself? Would you be able to handle it?", he was anxious.

Years of resentment had made her calm but he knew that the vicious stabs of hatred would only agitate her.

"I believe in myself! Please allow me!"

"Alright, come on Thursday this week. Get it done!", his voice wavering.

After she left, Jacobs immediately informed Chief Lee about this.

"Don't worry. She is not stupid", he assured Jacobs and hung up.

"She is not stupid!?", Jacobs helplessly shook his head and resumed his work.
