The Crossfire

*Outside Alexander Building, 6:29pm*

Bosco’s eyes grew wide open shocked at Jessica’s kiss. Myolie watched steadily, her angry face calmed. She turned around and walked the other direction, “She’ll pay for what she has done!”

Jessica let go of Bosco; he stared at her for a long time, “Thanks.”

“Your welcome,” Jessica trying to not look at Bosco directly in the eyes. “I’m going to go back upstairs now. Bye.”

“You haven’t had dinner yet,” Bosco said quickly.

“I’m not that hungry. I’ll see you later,” Jessica walked back into the building in a very fast pace as Bosco watched her from behind.

*In front of Shopping Center, 6:39pm*

“Sorry I’m late,” Raymond ran to Charmaine who was waiting in front of a shopping center, “so much things to do at work.”

“Did you run all the way from where you parked you car?” Charmaine asked getting out a tissue from her bag to give to Raymond.

“No,” he took the tissue to wipe his sweat, “where do you want to eat?”

“Not hungry yet.”

Raymond threw the tissue in the bin then held Charmaine’s hand, “You want to walk around for a bit?”

They walked around the shopping center for a while window-shopping for the most. Raymond stopped in front of a store spotting something, “Wait here.” He ran inside and five minutes later he came out with a small bag.

Charmaine took the bag out of his hand and tried looking through it, “What did you buy?”

Raymond snatched the bag before Charmaine could look inside and put the bag in his suitcase, “Nothing,” he said with a cheeky grin.

“Show me,” Charmaine tried taking Raymond’s suitcase.

Raymond caught Charmaine’s hand trying to get his suitcase, “I’ll show you later, you know what I realised we don’t have?” Raymond said changing the subject.

“What?”

“We don’t have a photo together,” Raymond took out a digital camera from his suitcase.

Raymond and Charmaine stuck their heads together and smiled at the camera as Raymond held it in front of them to take it. Raymond took a look at the picture, “Oh… you look so pretty and I look so handsome.”

“Bah! Someone is a bit modest,” she said sarcastically.

Raymond pulled Charmaine’s hand and walked really fast to a photo printing station. He printed two copies of the same photo, “Here. One for you and one for me.”
------------------------------------------------------
*Alexander Building, Floor 38 Apartment A, 10:14pm*

Bosco laid on the couch gazing at the ceiling still thinking about Jessica’s kiss, every so often he would burst into smiles and laugh. Raymond opened the door and saw Bosco laughing at nothing, “What’s so funny?”

“Oh nothing,” Bosco answered still smiling, “Why are you home so late today?”

“I had some things to do, I’m think I might sleep now.” Raymond walked into his room and sat at his desk. He took out the photo he took with Charmaine and stared at it for a while. Raymond took out the little bag his was hiding from Charmaine and put it onto his desk. He reached in the bag and took out a small case and opened it up, he gave a soft smile as he took a diamond ring out of the case. He placed the ring next to Charmaine in the photo, “Just got to wait for the right timing,” he said to himself, the put the ring back in the case and their photo in his wallet.

*Kowloon Police Station, 10:13am*

Kenneth ran into Charmaine’s room, “Madam, a large amount of money has been transferred from Ada Choi’s investment company into Kenny Wong’s account then back out into Derek Kwok’s account.”

Charmaine took the file and looked at it, “Looks like there is going to be a transaction soon.” Charmaine walked outside, “Bernice and Bosco I want you two to come with the to the Grand Jewel’s, although there is no direct link between Ada and Derek but the indirect link is suspicious enough.”

“Madam, I’ve checked Ada’s background. Something weird is that she has a younger half sister that no one knows about, there are details but very minor. I’m still contacting with some overseas agencies to see if I can identify this person. A few years back Ada was also involved with a co-worker, I’m getting the information sent to me,” Linda reporting back her findings.

“Good, when will the rest of the information be received?” Charmaine asked.

“Hopefully in the next two days.”

Charmaine looked at her watch, “Ok, Bosco, Bernice ready to go?”

“Yes, madam.”
---------------------------------------------
*In the car on the way to Grand Jewel’s, 11:00am*

“There is an indirect link between Ada and Derek…” Bernice said to herself. “So if we ask Ada she would probably say she doesn’t know Derek or that she has no idea that Kenny passed the money onto Derek.”

Bosco who was driving stopped at a red light, he looked over at a truck which was on the other side of the road. The lights turned green, the truck drove pass with a car following close behind.

“Derek Kwok!” Bosco shouted, “Madam, Derek Kwok in the car behind the truck.”

Charmaine looked over, “Follow him.”

Bosco did a U-turn and followed Derek’s car from a distance. Derek’s car kept close behind the truck the whole time until they stopped at a scrap car yard. Bosco stopped the car on the side of the road.

“What are they doing here?” Bernice asked.

“I think Derek is making the transition of his weaponry, Bernice stay here. Bosco and I will go down and have a look,” Charmaine ordered.

Charmaine and Bosco crept in the scrap car yard and watched from a distance, “Who do you think is he selling it to? Ada Choi?” Bosco whispered.

“Don’t think it’s her, she won’t make it in broad daylight.”

They watched Derek unload the weaponry, Charmaine took out her phone and called Bernice, “Bernice call for back up now.”

Charmaine and Bosco kept on watching, a rush of wind blew pass, blowing dirt up in the air. Bosco breathed in, uncontrollably he sneezed out very loud causing a distraction.

“Someone’s there,” Derek shouted.

All of Derek’s men armed themselves and searched around the area. Charmaine and Bosco stayed very still. Charmaine pointed in the exit direction, Bosco crouched down and shift slowly in that direction.

“Over there!” one of Derek’s men shouted out.

Gunshots began to fire in Bosco’s direction; Charmaine pulled Bosco back behind cover. Bernice was outside and heard the gunshots; she took her gun out and hid behind the gates over seeing the yard. She and Charmaine exchanged eye contact, Bosco pointed in the direction behind where the gunshots were being fired. Bernice stepped out and took a few shots as a distraction so Charmaine and Bosco could get out of the yard. Charmaine and Bosco ran and hid behind another cover, this time in view of Derek’s men. Charmaine watched carefully then took a few shots directly hitting two men on the shoulder disarming them.

At this time reinforcements had arrived, “Let’s Go!” Derek shouted. Gunshots were being surrounded everywhere. Bernice stepped out and took a few more shots but was too exposed. Derek’s men saw their chance and took a shot at Bernice...

*Department of Justice, 1:21pm*

Ron was in his office eating lunch and watching TV at the same time. He flicked some channels he stopped at the news channel.

#Knock Knock#

“Come in.”

Jessica walked in and passed a file onto Ron, “Have you prepared for court next week?”

Ron swallowed his food, “Yep, just have some finishing touches and everything should be good.”

“Good, I like that you are always ahead…”

Ron was distracted by the news report on TV, he stopped listening to Jessica and focused on the TV.

“What are you watching?” Jessica faced the TV and turned up the volume, “Isn’t that Charmaine?”

Charmaine walked across the screen passing behind the news reporter accompanied by Kenneth and Linda. The news reporter at the crime scene began to report on this situation that had just occurred, “Moment’s ago, three members of the Kowloon Police Force were in a cross fire Derek Kwok suspected of selling heavy weaponry. Four members of Derek Kwok’s clan were injured and one female member of the Kowloon Police Force was shot and in rushed to hospital.”

Ron dropped the files, “Bernice…” he ran out the door and Jessica followed on behind him.
-------------------------------------------
*Hospital, 1:41pm*

Ron and Jessica ran into the hospital, Ron wasn’t acting like his normal, calm self. His hands were shaking as he ran up to the front desk, “Where’s Bernice? Where’s the officer that was injured?” he shouted out of fear at the receptionist.

“The officer was injured is in the emergency room three…” Ron ran to the emergency room before the receptionist could even finish her sentence.

“Bernice!”

“Ron!” Bernice called out to Ron but he didn’t hear her.

Ron ran to a doctor coming out of emergency room three, “Where’s Bernice?” he grabbed the doctor by the shoulders, “How is she? Tell me!”

Bernice walked behind Ron and tapped him on the shoulder, “Ron!”

“What!?” he turned around and saw Bernice standing there with not a scratch on her. Ron wrapped his arms around Bernice, “You scared me. I thought you were hurt.”

Bernice patted him on the back, “I’m fine. And I think this is the first time you raised your voice.”

Ron looked Bernice in the eyes, “I thought I was going to loose you.”

Jessica walked up to the both of them, “I knew my sister wouldn’t get hurt so easily.”

At this time Raymond rushed in the hospital and saw Jessica, Ron and Bernice standing together. He sprinted up to them but accidentally tripped on a trolley being pushed out from a corridor, he didn’t stop and jumped up straight away and kept on running in their direction.

“Hey Ray, you alright?” Ron asked.

“Yeh, I’m fine,” Raymond said rubbing his leg.

Bernice just remembered she left something in a room, “I left something in one of the rooms, I’ll be back,” she and Ron walked to off down the hallway.

The doctor that was operating on the wounded officer walked pass with a nurse, “That officer that was shot is in serious condition.”

Raymond stood there worried, “Charmaine…” he said quietly to himself.

Jessica had the same reaction but she wasn’t worried about Charmaine, “Bosco…”
