Bab 149: 149. Too much to bear

"It's not a match, Mr Morghan." Eden Colman, the lead investigator of the other unit reported, extending his hand for Derek to take the results.

Derek didn't know why, but this didn't come as a surprise. He had somehow expected this results. As much as a second opinion was necessary, he still trusted his men to have undergone the first one pretty clean.

As he sat in his swivel chair, Derek accepted the sheet which was on top of the brown envelope it came with. He lolled back in his seat and studied the results keenly, noting no peculiar difference from the one they took in their unit.

"Thanks, Mr Colman." Derek said, his eyes still lingering on the report for some time before he looked at Eden. "I'm sorry for having to bother you." He added.

"This is not a bother, Mr Morghan. I'm glad we could be of help. We are actually honoured to have this chance to look into a case from your side." Eden genuinely told Derek, who nodded before rising from his seat.
