“Ryan!” Jenna called from the door as she raced to hug him “Are you okay?” she asked endearingly, causing him to blush in front of the group.
Mia rolled her eyes “It was just a parachute jump, do you have to get so dramatic?”
“I heard something fell on you.” Jenna turned to him in confusion.
Darren stifled a laugh and Reina tried hard not burst into giggles. Matt confessed with an suppress smile “It was just Mia, I wasn’t clear in my voicemail.”
Jenna let out a sigh of relief “Thank God.”
“What are you doing here, aren’t you suppose to be with Doug?” Erin asked.
“No, he left earlier somewhere. Apparently the little ‘Princess’ was not feeling good so she could not sign the inheritance paperwork at the lawyer’s office yesterday.” Jenna sighed “You know, if I didn’t know better. I think Ah Kiu is trying to stall time for something. Like making Doug do all these little things. I don’t know why she can’t have someone else do the work.”
“Like that cute spiky hair guy?” Mia asked “What’s his name again?”
“Ah Chung? He never leaves Ah Kiu side and sometimes I see them whispering together. If it weren’t for the fact that he has a crush on me, I would think Ah Kiu and him are dating.” Jenna blurted out casually.
“He what?” Ryan tilted his head down to ask.
Mia covered her mouth with a hand and muttered “Abort…abort.”
Jenna smiled awkwardly “I thought you knew.”
“No…I didn’t.” Ryan emphasized.
“Uncle Devin!” Jenna pointed when he walked out with long easy strides.
“Good news?” Erin asked with concern.
He nodded “They agreed to keep me involve in Ted’s case and he will be in my custody.”
There was a sigh of relief that broke out within the crowd “I’ll tell Sara.” Carmen offered as she left the group.
“I guess there are SOME things that Devin can do that you can’t.” Mia teased the Commander.
“He does have a way with words.” Daniel smiled coolly “I should get back to work.” He turned to leave when he stopped and turned to Erin “Dinner on Friday?”
“I remember.” Erin nodded.
Mia dropped her jaw as she nudged Devin “That was so spiteful.”
“And your lame attempt to get us to throw down is not working. I think you’ve lost your touch Mia.” Devin laughed when she flared her nose “Let’s get cleaned up, we’ll meet back at headquarters. Jenna, return to your apartment before they realize you left.”
“It’s okay, Ah Kiu and Ah Chung went to the hospital earlier. They won’t be back for a bit.” She waved a nonchalant hand while linking arms with Ryan.
Erin frowned “Hospital? Why?”
“I don’t know.” Jenna shrugged.
Mia clapped her hands sporadically “Great undercover work!”
Darren grinned “She’s teasing. Are you sure they didn’t say why?”
Jenna shook her head “No, anyways she wouldn’t tell me. She hates me.”
The group nodded in agreement “The more reason for you to be careful.” Matt said solemnly “She sounds like a walking time bomb.”
“Not according to Ah Gam.” Reina recalled.
Erin clicked her fingers “Ah Gam. He probably came into contact with her. Would they meet at the hospital?”
Devin nodded “Possibly. Erin, why don’t you go check it out.”
“I’ll go with you.” Reina offered “Whatever happens, he won’t kill us both.” She reminded them. Devin agreed and waved them off.

“Is this it?” Ah Kiu turned to him for confirmation.
“That’s what Bong Chai said.” Ah Chung looked at the door number “Yeah, Dr. Lai.”
She snickered at the name “Head doctor. I’ll give her something to think about.” She muttered and tried the door. There was no expectation of Jessie might look like as she was taken aback by how young the girl appeared to be.
“May I help you?” Jessie dropped her glasses slowly and nodded to the interruption.
“Are you Jessie?” Ah Kiu asked as she paced slowly over, not sitting on the seat.
Jessie looked up at the girl “Yes. You are…”
“You don’t need to know.” She said easily and walked around looking at her little plaques “You’re quite the brain aren’t you? PHD in Psychology and Anatomy?”
Jessie’s heart quickly raced. She saw the guy lock the door behind him. He stood guard at the door, a sign she was not going anywhere “I don’t know you, Miss.”
“But you know Doug.” Ah Kiu tilted her head back to make eye contact with Jessie.
Her head raced and something Doug said before reminded her. ‘Don’t believe anything you hear’. She smiled calmly “Yes, he is a patient of mine.”
“Patient?!” Ah Kiu cried angrily “A patient doesn’t come once a week for an hour.”
“Would you like to see the records?” Jessie challenged “Some clients actually come twice a week, when there is a tough case.”
“He has a girlfriend.” Ah Kiu sneered.
Jessie shrugged “So? It makes no difference with me. I am only his shrink.”
“Just his shrink? I think different.” Ah Kiu made her way over to a chair and sat down, legs cross, she leaned back comfortably “If you think you can seduce Doug with your little girl charm, you are wrong. He doesn’t go for women that look like they just got out of high school.”
She sighed tiredly “Miss, how many times do I have to tell you? Doug is only a patient, I am not involved with him whatsoever.”
“I’ll be the judge of that.” Ah Kiu turned her head to the side. Eyes cold as steel as she eventually got up “Have a nice day Dr. Lai. We’ll be seeing each other again.” She snapped her fingers as Ah Chung opened the door and followed her out.
Jessie didn’t noticed she was shivering until she reached for the phone. She quickly dialed for Doug’s cell. After three rings, someone picked up “Hello?”
It was a female voice. Jessie was confused as she hung up the call. What was going on? Did he change his number? What was with the girls? It was too hard to stay focus when she had too many questions unanswered.
Doug rushed from the bathroom “Was that my cell?”
The hooker looked at the cell and tossed it towards him “There was no answer.”
“Don’t answer my calls!” he checked it and realized it was the hospital’s number. He could only guess what Jessie was thinking.
The girl with the mini black dress rolled her eyes “Booty call?” she asked smugly “Where’s my money?”
Doug twisted his face with disgust “I’m not paying you.”
“Fine, we’ll do it and then you can pay me.” She began to take off her shoes.
“No!” He covered his eyes “Don’t take your clothes off. I don’t want to have sex with you. I just want to know why Sum Gor wants to see me.”
“Oh, right…” she stuttered “He wanted to make a...eh... proposition with you.” The girl with the poofy hair nodded.
He took his hand off his eyes “You don’t even know who Sum Gor is do you?” The girl shrugged carelessly “Shit!” he cursed and reached for the door. But he was faced with a bust. Over fifteen policemen invaded the rooms and forced everyone on the floor.
“Get down!” he pointed a gun at Doug.
Doug slowly lowered himself. He noticed a bathroom window opened ajar. He couldn’t blow his cover if they took him to the police station. Taking in a breath, he reached back a fist and pushed the cop in the stomach. He didn’t expect the attack as the gun came flying to the side. Doug rolled a few times to get it as he quickly unlatched it like a pro “Sorry.” He muttered and made a mad dash for the bathroom. He locked it quickly and climbed through the window. It was five stories up but he didn’t care.
He dangled inch by inch from the fire escape. The cops were pointing to him from the window. He only had enough time to glance at the guys running towards him when he got to ground safely. Running down the alley, he jumped a wall and reached the streets in time to see sirens wailing two blocks away. They were closing him in.
Just then, he saw a motorcycle pull up to his side “Get on!” Ryan called as he hopped on behind him and the little motor took off. He took another alley that led to a street where they got away. Slowing down, he noticed that they had lost the cops. Making a few easy turns, he reached the run down apartment “I’ll meet you up there.” He waited for Doug to get off before driving away.
He knocked on her fake apartment “Doug!” Jenna pulled him into the apartment “You got away.”
“How did you know where I was?” he asked.
“One of the guys spilled the beans. You’ll be surprise what a smile can do.” She snickered “How could you just leave with the hooker like that? If I wasn’t at the police station and overheard that they were doing a brothel bust, I wouldn’t think of warning you.”
“The girl told me that Sum Gor had sent me to come see him.” Doug explained.
Jenna shook her head “Sum Gor was busted this afternoon for a cocaine trade.”
“I didn’t know.” Doug wrinkled his brows “Who could have set me up like this?”
Ryan appeared at the bathroom door “Ask your little crush.”
“Ah Kiu?” Doug asked.
“Another one of her fun tests.” Jenna said sarcastically “We can’t say it’s impossible. She has a record of that.”
“No…I think it goes deeper. It’s someone else.” Doug shook his head.
Ryan nodded “Maybe the same people that are trying to hurt us? Ga Jei was attacked the other night at Chuck’s apartment building.”
“Really?” Doug asked “She promised not to hurt anymore people.”
“Don’t be naïve Doug. She’s crazy. Worse than Mia! She and Ah Chung went to the hospital this morning. Uncle Devin thinks they are there to meet Ah Gam, who escaped from prison.”
“He did?!” Doug exclaimed.
“And Ted is under custody for bribery and conspiracy.” Ryan added.
“Damn, I gotta leave my headset on more often.” Doug shook his head in disbelief.
“I think it’s time to tell her.” Jenna said “Before it gets out of hand and Jessie is the next on the list. I heard some of the guys over talking about how you go to this shrink every week. Apparently she’s having you followed.”
“I knew it!” he punched a fist into his palm “She denied it but I was suspicious the first time she mentioned it.”
Jenna shook her head “You and your psycho women.”
