“Madam, do you really think there is a problem with Kenny?” Kenneth questioned.
“I don’t know, there is something weird about that guy. I just don’t want to miss out on a lead that may be useful. Linda pass me that file,” Charmaine took the file off Linda. “As far as I know, Kenny will be at the office the whole day today, Kenneth and Linda, I want you to follow him after he leaves the office which should be around 5:30pm.”
“Yes madam,” Kenneth and Linda walked back to their desks to prepare for the surveillance.

*Alexander Building, Floor 37 apartment D, 6:05p*
Bosco and Ron brought a bag each full of food ready for their competition of who is the better cook.
“I’ll try not to be bias,” Bernice holding onto Ron’s hand, “but there are no guarantees.”
“I think you will change you mind Bernice,” Bosco putting his bag of food on the kitchen table.
“We’ll see,” Ron took out his ingredients, “I will work twice as hard for Bernice.”
Jessica and Bosco gave a shiver after hearing Ron say that, “Please don’t be so cheesy,” Jessica insisted.
Ron headed off into the kitchen first and Bosco followed on, he stopped next to Jessica, “Umm… I just want to clarify again that there is nothing going on between me and Myolie… so yeh.”
“Ok…” Jessica had no idea why Bosco had to tell her again.
In a matter of minutes the apartment was filled with the most delicious scents. Bosco and Ron finished making their dishes and brought it out for a bit of taste testing.
Jessica and Bernice took a bite of each dish, they looked at each other and smiled, “It’s a tie. I think you both have to come back for a rematch.”

*Alexander Building, Floor 38 Apartment B, 8:25pm*
Ron came home from his strenuous cooking battle with Bosco, “Sis I’m home!” he shouted out, “want anything to drink?”
Charmaine was in her room and heard Ron talking to someone; she quickly opened the door thinking it was Raymond whom Ron was talking to.
Charmaine ran out to the living room and saw that the ‘someone’ was not Raymond but Bernice, “Oh… Hey Bernice.”
“Hi, madam. Had dinner yet?” Bernice asked taking a drink from Ron.
“Yeh, Ron made some stuff before he went to your house, well I’m off to bed now. Night,” Charmaine shuffled back into her room disappointed.
Bernice and Ron looked at the clock, “is she alright? Its not even 8:30pm yet.”
Ron shrugged his shoulders, “Don’t know.”
Charmaine laid in bed for hours not being able to fall asleep. It had been a bit more than a day since Charmaine last saw Raymond, although a day isn’t long but for the first time ever she actually missed not seeing him. “Stop thinking about him!” Charmaine shoved her head under her pillow.
-------------------------------------------
* Alexander Building, Floor 38 apartment A, 8:06am*
Raymond stared into the eyehole for the past thirty minutes to see if Charmaine has left her apartment.
“What are you doing?” Bosco leaning really close to Raymond.
Raymond backed away from the front door, “Oh… I’m just seeing if the eyehole is clear, you know it might need some cleaning.”
Bosco actually thought this was a legitimate excuse and walked back into the kitchen to make some breakfast.
Raymond heard the front door of Charmaine’s apartment close, he pushed his head against the front door to look through the eyehole. He watched as Charmaine walked towards the direction of the elevator.
“She’s gone, I’ll just wait another ten minutes then I’ll leave for work. Good work Raymond, won’t make things awkward…” Raymond said to himself. He paced the room for ten minutes then looked at his watch, “It’s time… I’m going Bosco.”
Raymond walked into the hallway, at the same time Charmaine came out from her apartment. Raymond a little stunned and confused at the same time, “Didn’t she leave her apartment ten minutes ago…” he muttered to himself.
“Hi,” Raymond greeted her with an awkward smile.
Charmaine turned around, “Hi.”
“Going to work?” Raymond asked trying to make conversation.
“Um… yeh.”
Charmaine and Raymond stood in front of the elevator. Raymond looked down at the reflection of Charmaine’s hand, “Come on Raymond just do it,” he thought to himself, “but what if she beats you up for doing that… that’s not cool.”
From the corner of Charmaine’s eye she noticed Raymond looking down at her reflection.

The elevator door opened, the cleaning lady pushed out a trolley full of cleaning equipment with two mops sticking out the front of the trolley.
“Excuse me,” the two mops sticking out almost jabbed Charmaine in the stomach.
Raymond quickly grabbed Charmaine’s hand and pulled her over to his side.
“Sorry,” the clean lady apologised and walked off.
“They should really be more careful with those mops, there quite deadly,” Raymond said still holding onto Charmaine’s hand.
Charmaine looked down at Raymond’s hand holding onto hers, she looked up at his face. Happiness was written all over her face as she held onto his hand entering the elevator.
Raymond had just realised that he was still holding onto her hand, he knew he should let go but couldn’t bring himself to do it. He cleared his throat, “Um… dinner tonight?”
He could feel the cold sweat around his forehead. Charmaine tried to contain her smile, “Sure.”
The biggest smile appeared straight away on Raymond’s hearing Charmaine’s answer. They both stood there facing the elevator door holding each other’s hand not being able to wipe the smile off their faces.

*Kowloon Police Station, 9:30am*
Kenneth and Linda returned from their surveillance of Kenny Wong, they both walked in with huge eye bags under their eyes.
Bernice jumped out of her seat, “What happened to your guys?”
Kenneth’s eyes were all droopy and could barely open them, “Kenny Wong was out all night and he went to so many different locations.”
Linda rubbed her eyes, “He went to four clubs in two hours, then walked around the street before going to supper. He finally went home like at 6:30am, that guy has a pretty wild nightlife.”
Charmaine walked out of her office, “Did Bosco take over from you two?”
“Yeh, Bosco should be outside the Grand Jewel’s office now,” Kenneth yawned.
“You guys better go home and sleep.”
Kenneth and Linda turned around with their heads down looking as if they were about to fall asleep on the floor and stumbled out of the station.
-----------------------------------------------
*Outside Grand Jewel’s Office, 10:15am*
Bosco sat in the car eating a pear staring at the front door of the Grand Jewel’s office.
Charmaine opened the car door and sat in the passenger side, “anything happen yet?”
“Nope,” Bosco still munching on his pear, “he seems pretty normal. Maybe there’s nothing suspicious about him.”
“I don’t know. I have a feeling he is involved, maybe helping one of the other companies,” Charmaine took her phone out and dialled back to the station, “Bernice, I want you to check the bank statements for Kenny Wong and Derek Kwok for the past two years.”
Bosco stopped munching on his pear, “Do you think he knows we are following him? Derek Kwok knew we were following him. Do you think someone is tipping them off?”
“Even if he knows, he is the only lead we have to the robbery and the death of the robber leader.”
Bosco turned back around and stares at the front door for another ten minutes. He sees a familiar face and taps Charmaine on the shoulder to see, “Madam, isn’t that Steven Ma?”
