DANGEROUS LOVE'S

Report

After hearing the news of Max Walden's murder, Japheth contacts Jason and David. Meanwhile, Carina borrows Lee's cell phone, tries to contact her friend who is in the city of Milan, the girl wants to find out the truth about the death of her stepfather.

Carina was sitting limp on the sofa with a cell phone that fell out of her hand. Carina's face looked pale. Lee approached her and sat down beside her. "What's wrong? What did your friend say?"

Carina's lips trembled, as if her voice was stuck in her throat, the girl clasped her hands very tightly. A few streaks of cold sweat flowed and soaked his temples.

"Tell me, what's up? Don't scare me, Carina." Lee's curiosity made him hold Carina's left wrist.

"The news about Max is true, he died from being shot, and now the Italian police are looking for us" Carina said.

"What ?!?!" yelled Lee, Japheth and Hazal together. Their heart skipped a beat imagining that they would become police fugitives.

Japheth walked back and forth in his apartment, occasionally holding his head and rubbing his face. "No. This is impossible. We're innocent, the last time you left him on that bridge, isn't Max still alive?" ask Japheth to Lee. Staring sharply at Lee's small-sized bead of eyes.

"Yes he's alive, probably Max was killed after he came home from Paris. He was killed in his own house" Lee said, standing up from his seat.

Ting.... Kegs...

The apartment bell rang, Hazal stood up from her seat and walked out and opened the door of her dark brown apartment. As soon as the wooden door opened, he saw David, Jason and Smith already standing in front of him.

"It turns out you guys, come in...."

The three men stepped inside, and landed their bodies on a black sofa.

"Smith ?" ask Japheth who was astonished because suddenly the man also came to his apartment.

"I brought him here" replied David who straightened his body on the soft sofa.

Carina helps Hazal prepare a drink and some snacks for all of them. The two girls carried a tray over their hands and placed the dish on the dining table.

"I heard from David that you have information about the killer of Hazal's parents" said Smith, who suddenly stood up and opened the conversation.

"Yes, the killer was Ted Baxter" Yafet said, showing a picture of Max and Ted taking a picture together in the Alps twelve years ago. Smith took the photograph from Japheth's hand, and observed the faces of the two men.

"Isn't this the man on the news this morning? He's been killed in his own house?" asked Smith whose eyes were still fixed on the photo in his hand.

Lee confirmed Smith's words, and told him about the new problems they were facing right now. The Italian police are currently searching for their whereabouts, as the day before they got into a fight with Max at his home.

"You don't have to worry about it, I'll talk to the police chief in Italy, maybe you'll just be questioned." Smith's words sounded a relief in the hearts of all of them.

Then Smith returned to his seat on the sofa, asking them about the whereabouts of Ted Baxter. But unfortunately, no one knows where Ted Baxter is. Even their only key witness, Max, has been killed.

"Where are the piles of papers I shared with you?" smith asked the four young men.

Japheth immediately took the papers that were in his backpack. He handed it to Smith.

Smith threw the white piece of paper onto the table in front of him. The paper had reached the thirtyth sheet, Ted Baxter's name and his photo and identity were written on the paper. Ted Baxter's face is still the same as the one in the photo twelve years ago. The barren man without a strand of hair is a Turkish citizen, currently 45 years old, and his job is a mechanic in one of the workshops in Istanbul.

"A mechanic?" lee asked with a frown.

"Yes.here recorded like that. Is something wrong?" smith replied as he advanced his body forward.

"I mean.. don't you guys feel weird, a mechanic can give a monthly money of USD 5000 per month to Max? What is the salary of a mechanic in Turkey?" asked Lee who emphasized his question.

"But Ted can give the USD 5000 every month, without any delay," Yafet said, showing Max's bankbook and a check from Carina's stepfather to Smith.

"Wow, Ted is like a philanthropist" David said.

Smith scratched his non-itchy forehead, occasionally putting one of his legs on the knee of his other leg. "I guess the USD 5000 was not Ted's personal, maybe there was a third party who gave it to Max, and Ted did it. But. This is still my guess."

"Sort of money laundering?" asked Hazal, who was standing on the wall.

Smith shrugged both of his shoulders. He also could not justify or blame the girl's question. "Hazal, have you ever heard of your father or mother having enemies?"

"I don't know. When I was a kid, I didn't really remember the faces of my parents' friends or business associates. The Emir's father never told him about it either" Hazal replied by closing both of his arms over his stomach.

"A mechanic killed a stranger in the Alps, maybe this was a robbery?" asked Jason who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, flanked by Smith and David.

"No, based on the data on the ground at the time, no valuables were lost, even after shooting Hazal's mother, Ted didn't take their car away" Smith replied.

Hazal takes a picture of Max and Ted on the table. He looked at Ted Baxter's face deeply, "Ted... Ted Baxter's... Ted...Baxters...The man with no hair on his head." The girl kept saying it over and over, until then she screamed loudly, "Can't she ?!?!?!" Everyone looked towards Hazal.

"What's the matter, baby?" ask Japheth, who came to Hazal.

"This man... Is this bald man named Ted Baxter?"

"Yes.he's Ted Baxter."

"Japheth, he who. Do you remember? He's the same guy. The killer's in New York !!" hazal said stammering as he covered his mouth with one of his hands, the girl's face deathly pale. Everyone was shocked to hear Hazal's words. Except for Japheth, for the man also remembered, but Hazal finally knew the truth.

Japheth tried to calm Hazal down, but the girl ran to her room instead. Hazal searches for her purse, she opens all her drawers and wardrobes. The white thing was lying on his bed. Soon he opened the wallet, and took a card in the wallet. He brought the card and gave it to Smith.

"When the man hit me, he dropped the card on the floor. I took the card. It says Ted Baxter's name and he is a member of the Fallay Gym. Somewhere a gym in Turkey" Hazal told everyone.

"Then we can start looking for Ted from this gym" Smith said.

"Wait, we've met in New York, can we trace the whereabouts of every public space CCTV in the city? We can tell where he's staying while he's in New York "

Smith and the others agree with Hazal's idea and the FBI agent bounces and returns to his office.
