Selina | Shen | Apartment | 10:30 A.M
-Get off the bed already Shen.
-...I'm free today..let me be.
-That's no excuse.
-Aahh..hardly motivative when it's coming from you Sel. Go take your morning pills or something.
-Thanks for the reminder. You know I wonder, how you will ever get a girl who may put up with this annoying personality of yours.
-..Hmm...(yawns)...I don't wanna hear that from a woman like you.
-You assume so much about things or people you know very little of.
-Like how you haven't been in here at the apartment for the past few nights?
-What!? You've been stalking me?
-No. In fact I don't need to. You know you're no saint Selina. Neither am I. But I have the courage to say that out loud. Whereas cynicism is all you got.
-You...(Door slams shut!)

11:27 A.M | Apartment
-...(Gets back)
-Hey..
-...(Taking the coffee)Thanks.
-I will make up for the morning.
-I've been doing overtime. No need.
-(Sighs)...so..where've you been?
-When? This morning, yesterday evening or the night before that? I mean you were asleep in every scenario.
-Look..I am sorry..I went overboard...(sighs)things aren't going very well for you. And...that affects me.
-I'll do my best to keep it to myself. There won't be another collateral.
-...
-Let's just see to the priorities here for now.
-...
-I was at the college to get some insights on the girl.
-Oh? That's a lot of effort all around.
-Much of it was wasted. They weren't very talkative type.
-Well that makes sense. So how much wasn't wasted? What did you learn?
-She found the personal journal of her Dad..something he would never let her see.
-...I see; he was indeed being blackmailed by the people who had been staying with him. Writing down everything about themselves..
-From the drug racketeering to political standings. Yes, everything can be traced backed to the household.
-He wanted to hide things from his daughter.
-Hm.
-So after finding out the truth about him being blackmailed and such..the girl threatened to expose them?
-It seems so.
-And she was persistent about refusing to give up on his diary. To shut her down permanently...
-...
-Being in a family wasn't a good idea after all.
-It goes both way Shen.
-...I would rather be alone...forgotten..than being betrayed.
-...
-Then again I am out of that league. That's a relief(smiles)...
-I have met Han. We spent the night at a bar called Jensen's. Han..he, he was posing as one of the escorts there.
