At the end of her eyes, Haz found what she was looking for. A clear glass bottle that was struck by the sunlight, dazzled his eyes. It was lucky to find the thing he was looking for so quickly.

Haz peeks to watch Thomas Bara's movements and accidentally meets their eyes. He immediately nodded and ran.

Haz grabbed the glass bottle he saw earlier and turned around. Thomas Bara was already behind him. But the bulging man did not make any movement.

Haz stared intently at Thomas Bara. Whatwant? thought. He felt no danger from Thomas Bara's gaze for him. But ... The long-haired woman felt that there was a riddle that could not be solved by her through the gaze of Thomas Bara.

In the end, Haz asks, "What do you want to say?"

There was no response from Thomas Bara. He just clenched his mouth tightly. He wants Haz to guess what he wants to say, Haz knows it.

"Just get to the point!" exclaim Haz hard.

Still Thomas Bara just clenched his mouth tightly. He clean hard wants Haz to guess it himself.

Haz no longer asked, but only looked at Thomas Bara with a knife-sharp gaze. He did not understand why Thomas Bara had not attacked him like back then and instead wanted to play a puzzle with him. Did I miss anything in this weird case? thought.

Haz ignored Thomas Bara. I'll think about it later. I can't linger in this place.

"I don't have time to play. Whatever you want to tell me, I will think about it when I relax later. You want to tell me there's something I'm missing. No, I mean, a lot of things I missed. Then I'll see you again. A little advice from me, don't falter and always believe what you have to believe, Thomas Bara."

Haz disappears from the presence of Thomas Bara after giving him a little advice, which might move his heart(?) The woman did not know, but she was very hopeful that Thomas Bara was really trying to tell her something. That way it will be easier for him to find the bright spot of all those strange cases.

Haz picks up the bike he hides behind a big tree. Then he saw his phone. It had been about thirty-five minutes he had left the Whisk alone on the phone. I don't even hear the song anymore.

I have to report to Whisky Woods right away. Uh, no need. He always activates his cell phone's GPS. I better go straight to where he is, Haz thought.

Return to the cafe where Hazelia Lify and Whisky Woods sit together ....

"You met Thomas Bara, didn't you?" ask Whisk to Haz who casually sips the drink he ordered.

"Yes, I did meet Thomas Bara. And he was really weird, as if he was telling me something I missed in this weird ongoing case" Haz replied.

"Is there anything you missed?" Whisky Woods repeats Haz's words in the form of a question.

"Do you think Thomas Bara can be trusted?" ask Whisk. "I mean, regardless of what he wants to do to you and he hurt me."

"I'm pretty sure he wasn't actually ordered to hurt you. Just remembering your bad past relationship makes me believe he attacked you for it" Haz said.

Haz's eyes can't escape the car that followed Whisk from his apartment. Until now the car is still parked there and waiting for the Whisk out of the cafe.

"Your fans that one is really creepy huh. He still hasn't given up waiting for you to get out of this cafe when he knows that you're not going to come out knowing that he's following you" Haz said.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny about knowing that a stalker is following you blatantly? A-"

The whisky suddenly fell silent after saying the second question. So did Haz who glared after hearing it. They are both like finding a jackpot or winning a lottery that is arranged randomly.

"That's it! Why is he following you so blatantly when he also knows that you are aware of it!" haz shouted in a whispering voice. "Our enemies are numerous and dangerous. Thomas Bara is right, there's a lot I haven't been able to solve from this weird case. I won't give up until I know the truth."

"This case is even more difficult than the serial murder case by the name code: Fallen Reaper in Italy" Whisk complained as he held his head. "Are Asians always like this? Lots of mysteries and likes to do things long-winded until there is a misunderstanding between one and the other?"

"Sorry Mr. Woods, but that's how it is for Asians. If I can be honest," replied Haz.

Whisk patted his eel slowly while shaking his head. He felt dizzy with the labyrinth case he was handling at that time— was not officially handled, but still included a case to be solved.

"You look very relaxed, Hazelia Lify," said Whisk.

"I have to do it. Actually my brain is feeling really panicked right now. Especially knowing that there was something I missed. Until before this happened, everything seemed so easy to me. After this case happened, I realized that I didn't know much about how to solve the case properly and correctly" Haz said at length.

"It's not just you, Hazelia Lify. We are in the same position now and you who are better than me can still miss some things, let alone me," said Whisk.

Haz grabs the wig bangs that make her forehead itch while thinking about what steps she and the next Whisk should take.

I can't rush to think about the solution. I have to collect everything related, gather all the evidence. The thing I missed could definitely be a fatal mistake and a dead end path to solving this case. Think clearly, Hazelia Lify. Do I stop for a moment and wait for the movement of my enemies?

Haz's eyes did not stop moving from one place to another, then returned to their original point. He was fretting and his mind was very messed up right now. He wanted the case to be resolved quickly, also without any mistakes at all.

"I'm sure we can solve this case. Relax, Haz. I know you need to relax" said Whisk to calm Haz down.

"You're right. We better relax first, wait until the enemy makes a move. I need to calm down."
