Jessie was sitting with a patient when her office door burst open appearing Doug “Excuse you—” Jessie start to scold him when he brushed her off.
“Sorry Mr., I’m sure you have a really bad mental problem, but I have to steal Dr. Lai for a few minutes.” Doug hastily apologized as he walked around her desk and reached for her hand.
“Doug, I will call security! I’m so sorry Mr. Wong…” She said sincerely while trying to pull away from his tight grip.
“Call all you want, I’ll just kick all their asses.” Doug replied simply, still pulling her by the wrist.
“Doug! Let go! I mean it.” Jessie warned.
He halted in the hallway after a few people turned to stare. Doug spun around to face her “Look, you want to do this the hard way? I will pick you up like a baby and carry you out myself. Now be a good girl.”
Her brows knitted carefully “What’s with the sudden manly attitude?” suspicious by his sudden change of personality.
Eyes dodging hers as he began moving again “Nevermind the smart remarks. Come on.” He led her to his car and drove towards the city “You will thank me after all this is done, I guarantee it.”
Jessie was curious to know but wasn’t going to beg for information as she sat patiently waiting for him to reach his destination. He pulled up to the front of a well known hotel, leaving the car with the valet guy, who looked at the beat up yellow car strangely. Opening the door for her, he pulled her out by the hand “Doug, if you think I’m going to sleep with you…”
His abrupt laugh caught her off guard “Dear little shrink doctor, you don’t have that kind of luck.” Still laughing as he led her into the hotel without looking twice at the concierge desk. They entered one of the four elevators and he quickly pressed the number 18. Jessie looked confused as she pondered what he was doing. As if reading her mind, he laughed again “Are you going to break a blood vessel thinking of what I’m doing bringing you here?”
“Is it that obvious?” she touched her temple.
“We’re here!” he exclaimed brightly while taking her hand again.
“I can walk on my own, thank you.” Jessie yanked her hand away as she wrung out her wrist and followed him.
“Are you ready?” he turned to her after they stopped at room 8865.
“Ready for what? I’m not even sure why I’m here!” she threw her hands up in frustration.
“Okay! I’m glad you’re excited.” Doug ignored her outburst as he knocked on the door politely “Room service!” he called. Jessie turned to him and he quickly pushed his finger to his lips.
A female voice talking moved closer to the door “Well, it’s about time!” she yanked it open dressed in a sexy black lingerie. Her tone changed quickly at one glance at Doug’s adorable dimple “Well, hi there. I had no idea this hotel had such cute bellboys. Although, shouldn’t you be wearing your uniform? And why is this maid not in her pink uniform?” she pointed a lazy finger at Jessie.
Doug pulled out his wallet and flashed something at her “CID, we have good evidence that an illegal business is running in this room. We need to do a search.” He pushed her out of the way and entered the room with long strides.
“That wasn’t a badge, that was your license.” The girl rolled her eyes.
Doug stopped at the foot of the room, his eyes widened “Uh…Jessie, maybe you shouldn’t see this.” He quickly stopped her before she stepped into the room.
“Why? Now you don’t want me to see? What’s the matter with you? You dragged me all the way out of the hospital to tell me I shouldn’t see it?” she shifted away from him and walked inside. The sight she saw made her gasped, hand over mouth “Greg Kwong!” on the bed sprawled out was the commissioner, dressed in nothing but a pair of boxers. His hands hand legs were tied to the corners of the bed.
“Jessie!” he was clearly embarrassed as his face turned a crimson red “I…I…I’m working…eh…undercover! Yeah, it’s just undercover work. This girl is under arrest the minute I get these ties off… You should leave now.” he hinted.
Doug clapped his hands “Not bad. It would have been believable if you didn’t stutter and was lying there tied to a bed in your underwear!” he spat disgustedly “Come on Jessie.”
“Yes, go, I’ll explain later.” He begged.
Jessie was horrified as she spun to him “Okay, explain now.” She sat on the edge of the bed staring at him “Go on, I’m listening!”
“I…I’m sorry…please, forgive me. It’s just a little slip, it won’t happen again.” He promised, “But honey, we should talk later, when there is less people.”
“Oh, I think I’m gonna hurl.” Doug groaned as he turned to see the girl in the sexy lingerie close the door and locked it carefully. His gut told him it wasn’t a good sign “Come on Jessie, this guy is useless. Let’s just go.”
She stood up and shook her head “No, not yet.” Looking around, she found his slacks on the other bed as she reached inside to take out his office key “Greg, this is the final straw. I could let it go if I didn’t see it but unfortunately I think I’ve seen too much. I’ll take my stuff from your office and leave the key with my cousin, Captain Ted Kwong.”
“Not so fast.” The girl stopped them.
Doug pulled Jessie behind him “You work for Hung Gor don’t you?” he said.
“I don’t know how you know and I don’t care who you are, but tell that girl to leave the key and her pretty little head won’t be cut off.” She threatened while pulling out a large dagger from the desk drawer.
“I tried to warn you guys.” Greg sighed “Miss, take whatever you want but don’t hurt Jessie. Please…”
“Shut up! You got me into this!” Jessie cried angrily “Actually, you did!” She pushed Doug with force “You can’t just leave well enough alone?”
“What? This is the thanks I get for helping you open your eyes? Jessie, look at him! He’s in his boxers and tied to a bed!” Doug yelled even louder.
The girl turned her back to the door “Keep your voices down.” She warned with the dagger waving at them.
Doug winked carefully at Jessie as she continued to raise her voice “Why can’t you just mind your own business?!! If I needed your help, I would have asked!”
“I can’t believe this!” Doug shook his head in disbelief “I’ll remember that next time.”
“There won’t be a next time!” Jessie cried louder.
The girl with the weapon had enough as she stepped closer “I said keep your—”
Doug slid swiftly to her armed hand as he twisted the wrist and forced the weapon to the ground “Jessie, run!” he ordered while fighting with the girl. Jessie nodded but each time she tried to move around, the girl forced Doug to block her way. She made a quick split and reached for the weapon but Jessie was quick to kick it under the bed.
“Nuisance!” the girl cried as she changed her target to Jessie. She was able to get Jessie into a head lock and was choking her when Doug placed the dagger on the girl’s neck threateningly.
“You wanna see who’s faster? Your arm or this sharp dagger?” Doug shifted himself to the front as he made sure she loosened Jessie’s neck. Coughing as she stepped closer to Doug’s side, her face red from lack of blood “Get on the floor.” He pointed to the ground. The girl had no choice but do as he asked, “Untie him.” Doug instructed Jessie.
She nodded and untied Greg’s arms and legs “I’m really sorry Jessie.” He apologized.
“Save it, Greg.” She didn’t want to look at his face as she returned to Doug’s side where he finished tying the girl’s arms together with his belt “Should we call the police?”
“No! Please, I wouldn’t know how to explain.” Greg begged.
Doug frowned as he turned to the commissioner “Yes, I suppose it would be hard to explain that the commissioner would commit an illegal crime of calling a prostitute!” his words dripping with sarcasm.
Lowering his head in shame as he began putting on his clothes. Jessie turned away, appalled by the whole situation “You’re lucky Doug decided to come. She probably would have killed you after she gets the keys to your office.” She pointed to the girl, who remained still on the ground.
“Thank you.” Greg obliged as he smiled at Doug.
Doug didn’t bother to acknowledge him while Jessie snickered “You should really thank the P.R.A.”
“P.R.A?” Greg turned to Doug “You work for the team?”
Waving his hand nonchalantly, he answered “Yeah.” Bending on his knees, he moved the girl but she was still as can be “Jessie…” he looked up at her with widened eyes.
She looked at him strangely as she bent over and felt the girl’s pulse on her neck “No heartbeat.”
Doug flipped her over and noticed her darkened lips and graying skin “Not again…” he sighed, “Damn it!!”
“I got it!” Greg snapped his fingers “We’ll just report that she was trying to kidnap me and I was clever enough to call Jessie with my cell and it was in my pocket the whole time. She brought an agent to come and help me. You fight with the attacker and she committed suicide because she could not succeed.” He grinned brightly, proud of his story.
Doug looked at Greg and back at Jessie “You were going to marry him?”
She laughed weakly “Pathetic aren’t I?” pulling off her ring, she tossed it back to Greg “I changed my mind.”
“Good choice!” Doug agreed but quickly remembered the dying corpse “I’m calling Ted.” He advised, disregarding Greg’s attempt to deny the decision “Unless you have a better idea on what to do about her body?” Doug paused his dial as he pointed to the lifeless figure.
“No…” Greg replied.
From Doug’s warning, Ted came by himself with only a few trustworthy teammates. They removed the body with caution through the back exit. When they reached the car, Ted turned to Greg “Sir, I will need a statement from you.”
“Of course, I understand it is your job.” He nodded carefully “Jessie and…”
“Doug.” He replied dryly.
“Doug! Yes, we will all go back to the station and I’ll explain exactly what happened.” He said with much authority “Jessie, come on.”
She stood her ground and moved away from him “No, I came here with my friend Doug, he’ll give me a ride.”
“Yes.” Doug nodded before throwing in a sarcastic salute “Sir!”
Greg had no choice as he nodded “Fine, we’ll meet there in ten minutes.”
After he left, Ted turned to them strangely “Okay, what happened? I thought you and Kwong Sir were getting married?” he turned to her empty fourth finger “Where’s your ring?”
Sighing, she answered “Long story.”
