章 20: Silence before the Strom

In the dimly lit room, the silver-haired sat looking at the evidence he got his hand on today. He wasn't much happy with it but it was enough to put Mayor in for at least a few years and his career politics destroyed for a lifetime.

He hated the fact he didn't get anything about White's murder case which would have done the job perfectly but getting justice for the guy wasn't his responsibility. He only needed to make sure Mr. Steve lose the position.

Chase opened the small refrigerator in the room to find something to some ice cream to eat.

The next morning, the news of Opus bar and other businesses related to it getting raid for drugs, prostitution came out. It was all thanks to an anonymous tip but to Obi's none of it made sense.

He observed the silver-haired guy's moment in front of him who ate his breakfast as the most innocent person in the world.

"Did you do something?" Obi questioned Chase lowering the volume of the tv with the remote. It was human nature to be curious but Obi wasn't interested simply due to his nature but because of his survival instincts.

"No," Chase answered him nonchalantly but Obi didn't seem to buy his answer. Chase frowned seeing the clear distrust from someone who knew him for years. "I might be the anonymous tipper but do you think just one tip would move the authorities? And don't count me as a liar. I hate lies-"

"Only when they are by other people. Hiding the truth, telling a half-truth, manipulating the information for benefits are all forms of lies, Chase." Obi finished his sentence and turned to the television. He increased the volume once again without waiting for Chase to react. In the same way, Chase couldn't careless about being called a liar.

The other people who had followed him in past on Nicolas' order were worse off with emotionless professional faces and over the top protection protocols. He even got to eat homemade food and got free labour- manager. The pros were too good to care about the cons.

Chase left the apartment early for the recording room. The final day of recording the two songs wasn't much far. JJ had also contacted Obi first, regarding the meeting with other singers of the third song which was going to be a headache. The silver-haired was pretty much under pressure from both sides.

He entered the lift as his phone buzzed in his jacket.

*Notification*

Chase reach his pocket it was a pass for a conference four days later. The sender was unknown but there wasn't a worry on his face. His eyes brighten up as his lips turned upward.

The crime branch,

Two officers were talking about the murder case of White surrounded by the mountains of files. The female officer looked a bit tensed. She searched through the files as if she was looking for something particular. "Do you think this case is related to the ongoing serial killer case?"

"Burnt fingers, disfigured face, sexual assault. The victim was probably tortured when he was alive. But despite that, the body wasn't cut into pieces. We can't say the killer is the same, may be a copycat killer. But a he did a poor job." The male officer spoke in a calm voice. The explanation was enough to silence others but the latter didn't seem much moved.

This puzzled him a little but he let it go thinking the female officer was being a snob. He increased his pace not wanting to be in the packed room any longer. " Mam, I found the file of the case you wanted."

Her eyes widened seeing the case file. It was a recent case but got buried under many other popular cases. "Thank you for your help."

She took the file which was heavier than her expectation but she held it tight. She went to her desk and started studying the file but luck wasn't on her side, today.

"Hello, everyone." Grekov stood in the middle of the office that was divided into several cubicles. Everyone present resumed their work and turned their focus on their superior.

It hadn't been long for Grekov to transfer to the head office. But he had a great track record which garnered him a good reputation among his juniors. There were still small noises here and there but George ignored them all and focused on conveying the news he was supposed to give.

"In upcoming days Mr. Steve is going to do public appearance in a conference. We have ensure his safety two patrol teams will be assigned in the auditorium while a team will follow him during his appearance." He scanned through the officers seeing if anyone has complaints but thankfully there weren't.

"Okay, then. Assistant officer will leave the assigning the roles. If anyone has problems, I am in my office." He left the room giving everyone the chance to discuss the new responsibilities that fell through the sky out of nowhere. And now they needed to put their current cases on hold and secure an auditorium big enough for two thousand people.

It wasn't that Z-mayor case wasn't popular anymore. But it just wasn't their job, their was nothing they could do to find a hacker who hid behind his computer screen. Expect having their IT team to tract him down.

The female officer sighed turning her focus back on the serial killer case file in her hand. She had long way to go before finding the culprit but she was determined.


章 21: Anticlimactic ending

Three days later,

Grekov checked with his team once again.

"Is everyone in position?"

"Yes, sir" Several voices echoed in his earpiece. He felt weirdly paranoid, today. He looked up to see the CCTV in the corridor to see whether it was working or not.

Three teams of each police and personal security present on spot but his mind couldn't help but...

"You can't take electronic devices inside except mobile phone. You have to leave your laptop here." A sharpe female voice sounded at the entrance of the auditorium where the people lined up to enter.

Grekov couldn't help but frown, it was the nth university student they had to remind the rules. He move forward, it was the end of his patience.

"I am sorry, then I will leave it here." The silver-haired spoke with a warm tone, making his apology seem genuine. He had a soft smile on his face nobody could tell he was intentional in bringing in the laptop. He entered the auditorium after a few more processors.

"Is everything all rightt, officer Adel?" Grekov looked at the long queue solemn expression, cursing the students who didn't follow the rules in his mind. Of course, the face all of it was the silver-haired youth.

"Yes, sir." The female officer wanted to say 'no' but she resisted the temptation. She had been none stop working on the recent murder cases whilst studying the old serial killer case.

The auditorium belonged to the university and was located on the M University campus. Making it easy for politics, and journalism specialisation students to attend. It was a win-win situation for both since university students were a fresh voting pool.

Chase tapped on the chair's arm with his fingers. He was leaning behind in the chair as if he was bored out of his mind. But in reality, it was a facade, he was especially excited as his plan was coming to an end.

He couldn't help yawning at the speeches they were simply disappointing. Most people present in the auditorium were the university students used to fill the gaps in the conference hall which had the capacity of 700-800 people.

"Today, on the campus of M University....." Chase took out his phone and started typing. The phones were prohibited but who cared. His fingers slide on the screen while his eyes captured the amount of security in the conference hall.

His fingers on the screen froze for a moment before resuming the process of typing.

He miscalculated. The security wasn't lax as he imagined. Chase kept his bored expression but his heart was racing.

"Next our city's Mayor Mr Steve will be guiding us." One side of his lips was covered, and the excitement he felt doing this stuff was the best as he expected. This was why he could never stop himself from chasing it.

The mayor's speech went on pretty smoothly until, some people started to stand in their place, chanting phrases against the mayor. Most of them were university students that were against the policies of the mayor. This alerted the security but this was something they had already expected.

The response from Grekov's team was quick they removed everyone that stood the poor students were unable to protest. But it wasted quite an amount of time making the organizers pissed.

"Sorry for the interruption. The program will resume now." The host once again asked the mayor to come on stage. Who was quite openly mad about the situation.

Chase had to admire the mayor's strength to bore people, after just four minutes of his speech. All of a sudden cold shiver ran through his back, the gut feeling was telling as if someone was staring at him. Chase turned behind instinctively. But the auditorium was too big to catch anyone. Most people were students so it was unlikely there was someone suspicious. Nor did he feel any harmful intent from the gaze earlier.

"Oh-." Sarah dunks down leaving her friend in shock. Her friend still couldn't understand her behaviour. Sarah was in this boring speech here today due to her journalism major. But who could have thought it was her lucky day. Once again she crossed paths with Chase Xavier. 'Maybe it was fate.'

The girl close to her furrowed while telling her to stop. But knowing Sarah's personality and obsession with the certain singer she admitted her defeat immediately. Whilst feeling a little bit curious about what a musician was doing at a political conference. Her curious heart didn't stop there, as she pulled out a phone to click the picture of the silver-haired to write a post about it. A real media people for sure. But before she could type the text...

*Bang*

The door of the conference hall was opened. People in emergency despatched troops entered the conference hall without making much sound. But the audience was in an uproar.

Some were scared, some were in awe of the professionalism and heavy air carried by these people. Chase narrowed his eyes scratching his neck and leaned forward. 'The show finally reaches its climax. But this wasn't his script.'

Grekov wasn't much late in reacting as he joined the tropes after only seconds. His disposition wasn't good. But he masked it with a poker face.

Grekov's team quickly began calming the panicked and impatient crowd. They slowly began to evacuate the crowd under the guise of some emergency. They probably wanted to keep the last bit of trust people had in authority.

Chase was the last one in his row to get up but the officers assigned were too occupied to notice the odd expression he had. He walked past the stage close by but the officers had encircled the stage not leaving space for even an ant to pass by.
