#NOTE: EVERYTHING TYPED HERE IS FICTION. PLEASE READERS DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ALL THE THINGS WRITTEN BY THE AUTHOR!

Haz tells James and Milla about him being attacked by Thomas Bara, until he reached the Whisk apartment and met the man and the man told him that he would check the state of his apartment—of course he did not tell what happened before the Whisk said that he gonna check his apartment, it's embarrassing.

"This story proves that you are Whisky Woods' girlfriend," Milla chuckled amusedly.

"Zut alors non, Senor Milla!—No, Senior Milla!" exclaim Haz.

"Can you speak French?" ask the blind woman.

"Non, fit du tout—No, not at all," Haz said as he shook his head. "I only know a few words in French."

Jel herself said she would answer the phone from Rael. He will inform him of the current situation and conditions. So Haz stayed with the couple in the row seat in front of the ER room where Whisk was.

"Miss Astrologer, how do you know about the tragedy? I still don't understand." James scratched his head that was not itching. He is confused by Haz's statement about the tragedy known only to four people—James himself, Milla, Whisky Woods, and one other person who has died.

"Guess what" Haz replied briefly.

"I wonder what I said to James Stetson at the time" Milla said.

"That's so easy. Which you told him, 'Can you not just stare like a fool there and give me something I can wear?'. Yes, something like that," Haz looked up at the ceiling of the hospital painted white for a moment, then turned towards James and Milla with their faces reddish. The woman chuckled briefly.

Haz could see Alkaf coming with his arm wrapped in bandages. "Jel is getting a call if you're looking for him" he told the bespectacled man who had just arrived.

Alkaf looked at Milla for a moment.

"Oh! Lord Priest!" exclaim Milla. "It has been a long time since your last visit to France to give a lecture." Milla extended a hand forward.

"Wah ... unexpected to meet with Police Milla," Alkaf shook Milla's hand for a moment.

"I've retired from the police force" said the visually impaired woman. "Oh, meet me, this is my husband." Milla introduced Alkaf to James.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Stetson." Alkaf obviously knew the manners in the West— world indirectly, he had already traveled around the world.

"Haz!" call a voice over there. That's Liulaika Jelkesya.

Haz looked towards the woman who called out to him. "What's wrong?" tanyakanya.

"Can we talk to each other for a second? I want to ask you something. You have to investigate this! Got to! It's urgent!" Jel said with his serious face.

For a moment, Haz knew that must be the assumption Jel got after she got Rael's call. No matter how small the thing obtained by Jel, the instinct of a Liulaika Jelkesya could not be wrong.

"Please talk first. I have urgent needs at this time." After saying so, Haz immediately went with Jel. Stepping away from the row seats, from Alkaf, James, and Milla, who were staring at the two men were confused, yet not so concerned with what they were going to talk about.

"So, what do you get, Liulaika Jelkesya?" ask Haz with both hands folded in front of his chest.

"Try hearing this," Jel played the voice recording of her conversation with Rael to Haz.

Haz put his ears on carefully. At first, there was nothing strange about the conversation until ....

Haz was stunned to hear that sentence. Then, staring at Jel intensely. "Are you sure it's him?" the question was almost whispering.

"I called you because of this Haz!" exclaim Jel as slowly.

"Try turning again" Haz asked, listening to Rael's conversation from start to finish.

Jel played the voice recording of his phone to Haz again. He tapped his finger into one more arm.

Haz can hear clearly, Rael's conversation with—you know who.

"With Andrian. Whisky Woods saved me. Praise thanks. How's he doing now? Is she okay?" ask Rael.

At that very instant, from across the street, Jel swore to hear the heavy voice of a man who said, "I lost Whisky Woods, Miss."

Haz can also hear it in a phone conversation. It was fortunate that Liulaika Jelkesya immediately looked for him to talk about it. If only his best friend had no strong instincts, he would never have known that Rael was the mastermind behind all this. But why?! thought.

Right then and there, there was a wheeled stretcher driven by several nurses. On it lay a person who was well known to Hazelia Lify and Liulaika Jelkesya as ... Richard Vinzeliuka's.

Their eyes were both staring at the patient who was in an emergency. Lips blackened. Haz knew it was a toxic effect. The two men looked at each other and immediately rushed to Alkaf, James, and Milla.

Ric himself entered into the same ER as Whisk.

"You guys see that?" alkaf asked as the two of them arrived before the three people in question.

"This is not true" Haz shook his head. "Ric's not a fool who's going to poison himself."

"Poisoned?" ask Alkaf.

"Yes!" Haz knocks his head with his fingers, thinking about what happened between Rael, Ric, and Thomas Bara. "Except .... Nah! I have to call Andrian!"

Haz took his phone from his little sling bag. His finger moved quickly over the screen, calling Andrian.

Tut's...

Tet...

"Is your business done? I was in the restaurant waiting for you!" andrian shouted straight to talk.

"Is Rael with you?" ask Haz.

"Rael? Not at all! He hasn't come here yet. I couldn't call him either because he was on another call" Andrian replied.

"Whisk was hurt, Andrian .... I hate to admit this, tap-"

Jel snatched the phone from Haz. "Can you come to the hospital on the protocol road to see Whisky Woods? You must have known the story of Haz being chased by Thomas Bara in his own apartment" Jel said, staring fiercely at Haz: Fool! What if Rael turns out to be working with Andrian to really harm you?

Haz patted his head slowly. Damn right! his inner self, then chuckled nervously at his 'Mak Kos' with an innocent look.

"All right, I'll be there soon. How could Thomas Bara hurt Mr Whisk?" ask Andrian.

"The long story. I'll tell you when you get to the hospital, Andrian," Jel said like a Hazelia Lify.

Click!

Phone's closed.

The room was silent for a moment. Jel took a deep breath after the man across there hung up the phone.

"Abio ...." Haz laughed nervously.

"Can you laugh?" Jel looked fiercely at Haz.

"Not mad, Mak Kos .. Don't be angry!" Haz with sparkling eyes gazed at Jel, like a kitten staring pleading with a human passing by in front of him.

Jel rolled her eyes lazily. "Well! It's time for a 'Sherlock Holmes' in action!"
