The Realisation

*Kowloon Police Station, 12:30pm*

Kenneth passed the report to Bernice and Linda looked on.

#Knock knock#

“Myolie,” Bosco surprised to see Myolie at the station.

“Hi, she walked into the room, “just wanted to see if you were doing anything for lunch?”

Charmaine looked at her watch, “Didn’t even realise it was lunch time, let have lunch first then.”

Kenneth, Bernice and Linda ran and grabbed their bags hearing they could eat lunch, “where are we eating?” Bernice asked.

“Anywhere, I’m starving…” Kenneth said.

Team A and Myolie walked out into the hallway passing team B’s room. From the corner of Bosco’s eyes he saw Jessica in the room talking to Chief Inspector, Michael Miu.

Bosco stopped walking and because he was in front everyone else had to stop behind him.

“Jessica,” Charmaine shouted out.

Jessica turned around and saw a whole crowed of people outside, “Hey, where are you guys off to?”

“Lunch, want to join us?” Bosco asked enthusiastically.

“Sure.”

*Noodle Bar, 12:45*

Kenneth and Linda sighed seeing the noodle bar again, “Why do we always have to come here to eat?”

“Because its close, stop complaining and order your food,” Charmaine sat down next to Jessica.

Bosco sat down on the other side of Jessica with Myolie sitting on his other side, “I’m going to the bathroom,” Jessica got up and left the table.

“What are you ordering Bosco?” Myolie asked.

“I think I will have this,” Bosco pointed down at the menu.

“Same,” Myolie ordering the same dish as Bosco.

“Great then we shall get three bowls then,” Bosco put the menu away.

“Three bowls?” Myolie thinking Bosco has a huge appetite.

“One for me, one for you and Jessica also likes this dish too,” Bosco handing Myolie a napkin.

Jessica returned from the bathroom, “What shall I eat?” looking at the menu.

“I already called for you,” Bosco handing her a napkin and chopsticks.

“How do you know what I want to eat?” Jessica asked.

“I cook for you and Bernice, I know what you guys like to eat.”

Myolie sat on the side listening to the conversation and could sense something weird about Bosco, something different.

*H&L Law Firm, 6:03pm*

Raymond and Steven were still at the office, Raymond walked pass Steven’s office and heard him talking on the phone.

“Where is Charmaine going to be in half an hour?” Steven asked over the phone.

Raymond stopped and listened. Steven had a very pleased smile on his face, “Great… thanks.”

Steven got up from his chair and walked towards the door, Raymond quickly moved away to another room. Raymond could feel something wasn’t right, he grabbed his bag and decided to follow.
-------------------------------------
*On the Street, 6:45pm*

Charmaine had finished dinner with Linda and departed in separate directions, she walked along and passed an alleyway. Steven was across the road watching her, whilst Raymond was watching both of them from a distance having no idea what Steven was doing.

Four men grabbed Charmaine and pulled her into the alleyway. Raymond saw and was about to run over and save her but Steven was one step ahead of him and was already on the other side of the road.

Steven ran into the alleyway and saw that Charmaine had already knocked down one man. She had no problem fighting the other three men. Steven and the man exchanged eye contact.

“Stop!” Steven shouted running over to Charmaine.

The man took out a knife and sliced it in Charmaine’s direction but Steven jumped in front of her.

“Ahh…!!” Steven could feel the knife slicing across his arm. Charmaine pulled Steven back and kicked the man down.

“Police! Stop!” two uniformed officers came running into the alleyway, and chased after the four men who already ran in the other direction.

Raymond who called the police stood at the entrance of the alleyway and watched Charmaine and Steven knowing something wasn’t right.

“Are you alright?” Charmaine held onto Steven standing him up.

“I’m alright…” he said in pain, “as long as you’re not hurt than I’m fine.”

Charmaine smiled, “Thanks. How did you know I was here?”

“I saw in the area and saw you, I was going to ask you to have dinner with me…” Steven said with his arm around Charmaine leaning for support.

Charmaine felt really bad for turning him down so many times and now that he got hurt because of her, “well… did you want to grab a bite after you go to the hospital?”

Raymond saw them coming and walked the other way, he could literally feel his heart breaking seeing them two together, especially knowing the kind of man Steven is. Raymond walked down the street, “Why do I even care about her? What’s wrong with you Raymond?” he mumbled to himself having no idea why he cared so much about Charmaine.
--------------------------------------------
*Alexander Building, Floor 38 Apartment A, 9:30pm*

Raymond sat in front of the TV with his hearing aid out of his ear; Bosco had just come home from Jessica and Bernice’s house.

“Hey Ray,” Bosco closed the door behind him sensing something weird with Raymond, “what’s wrong?”

Despite the fact that Ray couldn’t really hear him, he wasn’t really paying attention. Bosco jumped on the couch next to him.

“Bah…” Raymond put his hearing aid back in his ear, “Bosco why are you never around to cook dinner anymore?”

“I left some food on the kitchen bench when I came home,” Bosco said.

“Cup noodles barely counts as food…” Raymond leaned back on the couch then sat back up again, “umm… Bosco…”

“Yea?” Bosco started munching on a pear.

“I have a case at work where a guy has found himself to be quite protective over a girl and he would think about her quite often. When he sees the girl with another guy he doesn’t really feel happy, but the other guy is actually not that great of a person. What’s wrong with this guy?” Raymond asked trying to make it sound like a professional situation.

Bosco took a bite of his pear knowing that Raymond was talking about himself, “What kind of a case is this? And I thought your cases are all confidential?”

“Ahh… yeh. Just answer the question,” Raymond said hitting Bosco on the arm.

“Well if seems to me that this guy likes that girl,” Bosco said backing away from Raymond.

Raymond thought about it for a while, “So you’re telling me that the guy likes the girl.”

Bosco had the biggest confused face, “Didn’t I just say that? Anyways so who’s this girl you like?” nudging him on the arm.

“Didn’t I say it was a client.”

“Sure it was a client, this doesn’t even sound like a real case,” Bosco throwing his finished pear in the bin.

“I’m going to a shower,” Raymond got up avoiding Bosco’s question. He walked into the bathroom and closed the door. He looked into the mirror, “Do I really like her?” Raymond asked himself, “That can’t be right, I’m meant to annoy and make her angry. This isn’t part of the plan at all.” Raymond splashed some water on his face then took a shower.

It was around 2:35am, Raymond had his eyes wide open, he sat up and switched his lamp on. “Do you really like her Raymond Lam?” Raymond asking himself in a third person, “you don’t like her… or do you?” Raymond hit himself on the head, “go to sleep and stop think about it.” He switched his lamp off and laid back on his bed using his blanket to cover his face, he closed his eyes and images of Charmaine kept on floating in his head. He opened his eyes and sat up, “Oh my god… I like her!!”
