Scarlett decides to go to the police station. She needs to hack their CCTV server. She couldn't take the risk—Someone might notice her online movements if she tried remotely infiltrating the server.
Just as Scarlett was about to enter the bedroom, the door opened. Xander, who looked very fresh and handsome in his home clothes, came into her sight.
She immediately felt guilty for wanting to go this late to the police station when he was getting ready for bed.
Scarlett secretly took a deep breath. Tries to string nice words in her mind, so Xander can understand and let her go.
Xander walked to her and held her hand. Then, he tilted his head to look into her eyes. Seeing the light in her eyes light up made him smile — It looked like she was not sad anymore after what she heard today.
He rubbed her cold cheeks gently before saying, "Baby, you take a shower now! I've filled the tub for you to take a bath..."
Without letting her say anything, he led her to the bathroom. Scarlett couldn't refuse him now. But before she entered the bathroom, she stopped him.
"I can't take a shower now, Xander!"
"Huh, why?" Xander raised his eyebrows at her. Confused. This is her routine before going to bed, taking a shower, no matter how cold the temperature is. But now, why did she refuse!?
"I have to go to the police station. I have things to do there. And I can't wait till tomorrow..."
Xander was shocked. However, he didn't say anything when he saw how serious she was now.
"I hope you don't mind if I go there with Logan!" Scarlett said again when she saw Xander was silent and stared at her.
"I'll take you there," Xander said and walked towards the wardrobe to change his clothes.
Scarlett followed him. She saw him change into casual clothes; khakis and a black shirt — He also grabbed his long black coat.
"Are you sure? Mmm... Xander, it doesn't matter if I go there with Logan. Besides, I won't be long. Just an hour!"
"Baby! What kind of husband would I be if I let you go out with another man in the middle of the night?" Xander shook his head while putting on his coat.
Then, he also took Scarlett's black trench coat and helped her put it on.
Scarlett couldn't help but feel touched. "Okay, thanks, Xander!"
"You're welcome, baby. Let's go!" He took her hand.
"Wait! I have to get my backpack first." Scarlett said and ran to the office desk in the corner.
She put her black laptop into the backpack she usually carries. Then, she changed into her white sneakers.
"Okay! I'm ready!" Scarlett approached Xander, who was still standing leaning against the door frame. When she saw him frowning, she stopped right before him.
"W-Why? Something wrong?"
"Baby, you better wear long pants. Don't wear this knee-length dress because we are going to the police station, and it is already midnight." Xander said seriously.
He didn't want Scarlett's feminine appearance to attract the attention of criminals or the police.
Scarlett gasped.
"Oh, you're right. Wait here!" She immediately changed into a white t-shirt and ripped blue jeans. After putting on her black coat and sneakers, they quickly left.
...
Soon, the two of them were in the car.
Xander drove the black Mercedes SUV he usually used on this island while Scarlett was preoccupied with testing someone remotely.
While at the police station,
James, who had just finished talking to the chief of the police station, walked to the parking lot and suddenly stopped his track when he received a text message from Scarlett.
[Scarlett: ] James, I headed to the police station. Where are you now?
[Scarlett: ] If you're home, there's no need to return to the police station!
James felt confused. Did he need to wait for her or not? Why did Young Madam come to this place? It's almost 11 PM now.
'Is there anything I can do?' James spoke to himself.
[Scarlett: ] Don't worry about me. I'll be fine! Because I came with Xander.
Scarlett replied as if she could read James' mind.
[James: ] Ma'am, I'm still at the police station. I will be waiting for you!
James chuckled inwardly and put his phone in his pocket. He walked back to the police station. He had no other choice but to wait for them.
Soon, James saw a familiar car approaching.
He approached the car after they parked near the entrance. It doesn't take long before the car door opens, and he is surprised to see Xander driving alone, without Logan or his driver.
"Sir, Ma'am..." He greeted them.
"James, thanks for helping with this case at this late hour," Scarlett said, feeling apologetic.
"Ma'am, this is my duty. So, you don't need to thank me." James smiled to make her feel better.
Scarlett smiled back at James and looked at Xander, who was already standing beside her. She said, "Xander, I'm not going in. I need to do something from the car."
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "You didn't want to come in?"
Scarlett nodded.
Xander knew Scarlett was a hacker and knew what she was about to do.
"Okay, then. You wait here. I'll go in to say hello to the chief of police." He said.
"Hmm..." She smiled and got into the car. But, before she closed the door, she saw movement from inside the police station. Several cops on duty ran in. Likewise, several people in casual clothes were seen entering the office.
"What has happened?" asked Scarlett, confused.
"Someone died!" Men in police uniforms shouted from the front door. Suddenly Scarlett and the others were shocked.
'Dead!? How can someone die in a police station?' Scarlett was perplexed.
"Baby! You wait in the car, it's. Let me and James check the situation inside." said Xander. Before He leaves, he reminds her to lock the car door and not go anywhere until he returns.
"Ooo... I will wait!"
"Good!"
Then Scarlett looked at James, "Text me what happened!!"
After Scarlett saw them enter the police station. She locked the car door and opened her laptop.
