Charmaine plugged Raymond’s USB memory into her computer and clicked into the file component. Raymond’s USB contained so much files she spent a long time searching for her own file that she saved. She scrolled down reading each file name.
Her phone began to ring; she looked at the caller ID and picked up, “Yes Raymond? Didn’t I tell you to sleep?” she left the computer on the page with the fraudulent files that Steven planted in Raymond’s computer and sat down on her bed leaning against the wall.
“I can’t sleep,” he replied over the phone.
“Why not? Worried about court tomorrow?”
“Nope, I’m actually quite confident that I will win tomorrow,” Raymond was boasted with confidence.
Charmaine pulled her blanket over her legs, “Then why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Because I miss you, I want to talk to you,” Raymond said sitting up from his bed.
“You left like ten minutes ago, go to bed or you’ll be tired tomorrow,” she insisted.
Raymond grunted, “Come on, five minutes then I’ll sleep.”
“Fine, five minutes starting from now. I’m actually going to time you,” Charmaine grabbed her clock and put it beside her.
Raymond and Charmaine kept talking not realising that time had passed by really fast. Charmaine yawned and looked at her clock realising it had been an hour since Raymond called, “Hey, times up. Now sleep.”
“Come on Mrs. Lam, five more minutes,” Raymond plead.
“Ray, go to sleep. Do you want me to tuck you in?” Charmaine asked jokingly.
Raymond who thought she was seriously jumped at this idea, “Yes please.”
“Well, I’m not. Come on Ray if you don’t go to sleep I won’t talk to you,” Charmaine threatened Raymond for the second time, she really wanted Raymond to sleep.
Raymond sighed, “Fine, but you already used that threat on me today. So you can’t use it ever again. Night.” He blew a kiss into the phone and hung up.
Charmaine gave another loud yawn and walked to the computer and unplugged the USB, “guess I will look at it some other day.”

*H&L Law Firm, 9:03am*
Raymond was looking for his USB which not only had the fraudulent files planted in by Steven but his concluding speech for court. He flipped through all his stuff, “Rain!” he shouted.
Rain came running in, “Have you seen my USB?” he asked looking in his drawer.
“Nope, why?” she asked.
“My speech is inside,” he said very frustrated.
Rain walked into his office, “I saved a copy of your speech on my computer, I’ll print it out and give it to you.”
“Such a great aunty, I’ll invite you to my wedding,” Raymond said with a cheeky grin.
Rain shut the door behind her, “Your getting married? To who?”
“Her name is Charmaine and she’s a police. I think you’ve seen her before, she’s been here a few time.”
Rain stood back, “Her? Really? I would have never imagined. She’s so blah.”
“Hey! Do you want to come to the wedding or not?” Raymond asked quite unhappy at Rain’s judgement of Charmaine.
“Fine, I’m sorry. I’ll print you speech for you,” Rain walked out the door.
Raymond was still looking around his office trying to find his USB, “where is it?”

*Department of Justice, 10:15pm*
#Knock knock#
Jessica was reading through some case, “Come in.”
Myolie opened the door, “Hey.”
Jessica was quite surprised to see Myolie here, “Hey, what are you doing here?”
“I work here now, I applied a few days ago and they accepted me,” Myolie said really happily.
Jessica stood up and walked towards her, “That’s such great news.”
Myolie shook Jessica’s hand, “I think I better get to work now, I just dropped by to tell you the good news.” She walked outside and sat at her in her working area. She took out a computer-generated photo of Bosco and herself, “Don’t worry Bosco, she’ll be out of our way soon.”

*Kowloon Police Station, 11:31am*
Kenneth and Bosco strolled into the headquarters, “I still can’t get over that our madam is getting married!”
Bosco hit Kenneth over the head with his file again, “Do you have to say it out loud, we all know she’ll go all crazy and angry if she hears you saying that.”
“Fine I’ll try to control myself, but I still can’t believe it,” Kenneth continued to say.
They stepped into the headquarters, “We’re back!”
“Madam, I checked the list of customers although it took me a long time and my eyes are now all weird but I found a very familiar name,” she pointed to the highlighted name.
“Kenny Wong,” Charmaine checked the date and the registration to confirm it was right, “How long did you take to go through the whole list?”
“Not so long,” Linda said trying to be modest.
Charmaine tapped her pen on her head, she walked to the white board and drew a character map with everyone involved in this whole case. Team A gathered around and watched, “Ok, we know that Kenny and Derek are cousins and Kenny works for Ada,” she wrote there names on the board and linked them three together, “we also know that Sunny and Ada had a relationship,” she wrote Sunny’s name and linked it to Ada. “Joe Ma killed Sunny, but then he died in a car accident by a truck hired out by Kenny.” She drew connected everyone’s name together and everything seemed to be leading back to Ada.
Bosco studied the character map, “Madam, didn’t you say you also shot Sunny so shouldn’t you be on the character map too?”
Charmaine added her own name to the map and drew a line connecting it to Sunny’s name. She stepped back and observed the character map with the others. Bosco used a red marked and circled those that were dead, which were Sunny, Joe and Derek.
“Sunny died because of Joe, so it makes sense that Joe died not because an accident but because Ada wants revenge?” Bernice asked.
“But what about Derek?” Kenneth asked.
“Hold on,” Linda sat back at her computer, “I was scanning through some stuff and it said that Derek was also part of the gang but he was a minor back then, for some unknown reason he didn’t attend the transaction of weaponry. I think it said something like Sunny filling in for him.”
Charmaine drew a line from Derek’s name to Sunny’s name, “Everyone who is linked to Sunny seems to be non-existent.”
“Besides for you…” Bosco added. Everyone turned around looked at Charmaine.

*Alexander Building, Floor 38 Apartment B, 8:17pm*
Ron took out five full folders and placed them on the table in front of Charmaine and Raymond. Raymond and Charmaine stared at the giant pile of folders all filled with a heep of paper, having no idea what Ron was going to do.
“Since we are all getting married soon, I want you two to study these five folders,” Ron picked up a folder and opened it up handing it to Raymond.
Raymond took the folder, “What’s this got to do with our wedding? Why do we have to study this? Are we having an exam?”
Charmaine took a folder off the table and browsed through it, “If we don’t pass does that mean we can’t get married?”
Raymond and Charmaine both laughed out loud at there own jokes. Ron stood there watching them with a serious face, “I’m not very impressed by your jokes,” he took the folder off Raymond, “These folders contain everything you can possibly need or think of that goes with a wedding. I know you two would probably not be very organised, well not so much Raymond, just you,” he pointed at Charmaine. “Since I won’t be able to help you plan the wedding because I’m sure you guys are aware that I have my own wedding to plan. I’m willing to lend you these folders, inside has step-by-step instructions on how to plan a wedding. Very user friendly.”
“Your not being serious right?” Raymond asked.
“Does it look like I’m joking?” Ron kept his serious face.
Raymond and Charmaine took the folders, “Your friend is quite weird at times,” Charmaine whispered.
Raymond used a folder to cover his mouth, “You’re the one who’s related to him.”
After a few hours of studying Ron’s folders they actually found that there was so much to plan for their wedding, Raymond sat back on the couch still going through the first folder, “Ron’s folders is making the wedding more complex to plan,” he rubbed his head from the headache he was getting from reading.
Charmaine lay on his lap, “I know, I think I’m more confused now than before I read this.” She gave a loud yawn and could barely open her eyes because of all the reading. Her eyes felt heavier and heavier and eventually she fell asleep still holding onto Ron’s folder. Raymond was trying to concentrate but couldn’t give into the temptation of falling asleep.
The morning came and Ron walked out of his room dressed for work seeing them two covered in folders sleeping. He tapped Charmaine on the shoulder, “Hey.”
She jumped up, “Yeh? I’m studying…” Raymond woke up feeling Charmaine jump.
“See you guys are studying hard, with all this effort you guys put in you will have a great wedding,” Ron put on his tie, “Well I’m off now. Bye.”
Raymond sat upright, “I better go back and get changed.” He got up and opened the front door, “I’ll be back.”
Charmaine stretched her arms, her whole body was aching from the uncomfortable position she slept in. She walked into her room and Raymond’s USB on the table, “Forgot to give this back to him. Better transfer my file onto my computer before I give it back to him.” She turned her computer on and plugged the USB stick in. She scrolled down to her file to copied it, she pressed the wrong button and accidentally copied several other files.
Charmaine pasted the files onto her computer and scrolled down to delete Raymond’s file but accidentally clicked into of his files. “Opps, what’s wrong with me today? Can’t even press the right button.” She was about to close the window but saw a whole bunch of numbers that look like figures for money. She scrolled down and kept on reading, large amounts of money from clients accounts were transferred into Raymond’s personal account. She sat back on her chair not knowing how to react.
