�Have a seat.� Kevin instructed as soon as Niki stepped into his office.

She obeyed and meekly sat down in the seat directly in front of his desk. She could feel her palms getting sweaty. Niki knew she was going to get the scolding of her life since she did spill coffee on his expensive Armani suit, and even worse, she didn�t even apologize. She felt Kevin�s burning eyes glare through her.

�Here�s your gun and badge. Welcome to the team.� Kevin said coldly as held out his hand for a handshake.

�Uhhhh. Thanks.� Niki said abruptly. She was extremely surprised at Kevin�s reaction. She expected him to flip out, but he did the opposite. She gently put her soft, tiny hands into his big, warm, and comforting hands. Niki didn�t know why, but when their hands met, she could feel a strange tingle rush through her body.

Kevin suddenly asked, �I believe Charlene already showed you to your desk?�

Niki nodded her head gently while biting down on her bottom lip.

Kevin continued, �Here are the reports our department has been following. If you have any questions, you can ask me or your fellow teammates.� He paused and raised an eyebrow, �Do you have any other questions?�

Niki shook her head timidly.

�Ok then, you are dismissed. Niki right?� Kevin asked again just to make sure.

�Yes Sir, and No Sir. Is that all?� Niki replied, still confused. She expected to at least get his dry cleaning bill.

�Why do you ask? You expect something more?� Kevin raised an eyebrow.

�Umm. No.� With that said, Niki immediately left his office.

�There�s no way in hell he�s that nice. He must be up to something.� Niki thought to herself as she walked to her desk. Everyone was already crowding around her, expecting to hear some juicy information to gossip about.

�How come we didn�t hear any yelling?� Charlene asked curiously.

�I have no clue. It was so not what I expected. He was so...nice. He even welcomed me to the team!� Niki said with worry, mixed with a bit of excitement.

�I think it�s the silence before the storm,� Charlene answered with suspicion present in her voice.

�You girls are paranoid. Sir Cheng doesn�t hold grudges.� Edison reassured, he tried to defend Kevin. They were pretty good friends outside of work.

�We�ll see wont we?� Niki said softly while sitting down in her desk. She started to organize and personalize her space with teddy bears and pictures.

Bobby parked his beamer in the hospital�s parking lot and got out.

�I�m here already, stop rushing me, I�ll be up in about 5 minutes,� Bobby cried into his cell. He was also carrying a fruit basket at the same time, �You should be thankful the Captain, me, is taking a day off to visit you!�

He laughed and hung up while walking towards an elevator, pressing the up arrow.

Bobby got up to the third floor and walked down the hospital corridor to room 347.

�How are you doing, man? Is your head ok?� Bobby asked a man in his late twenties, lying on the hospital bed with a bandage around his head.

�Of course I�m fine. I�m a hero remember. And the girl I saved is practically falling head over heels for me!� The man said excitedly while trying to sit up in his bed.

Bobby laughed sarcastically, �I think you set up the whole thing just to get her to fall for you�

Julian sat up straighter and tried to throw a box of tissues at Bobby. �You think I like things falling on my head? If I hadn�t pushed her out of the way, the stupid flower pot woulda fallen on her head instead of mine! And trust me, it�s not fun.�

Bobby was about to say something to Julian when he heard the door swing open. He turned around and everything around him seemed to be in slow motion.

�I�m here to follow up on your condition, Mr. Cheung. Is everything ok? Anything irritating you?� A young and pretty female doctor asked.

Julian shook his head, the doctor continued, �That�s good. I�ll be back in 3 hours to check up on you again. If you need anything, ring for the nurse.�

�Hi, I�m Bobby Au, Julian�s friend.� Bobby smiled while introducing himself, holding out his hand.

The pretty doctor just smiled, nodded her head and left. Bobby just stood there with his hands still held out.

Vicki walked into the Forensic lab.

�You�re late today.� An older woman teased as Vicki put on her lab coat.

�Sorry, I had to walk Alec today. Joey will be back tomorrow to pick him up.�

�I�m only teasing you, and by the way, can you go down to the DNA analysis lab to pick up the report for me please?�

Vicki smiled, �My pleasure.� She walked down the hallway towards the stairs that led down to the labratory, since it was only a floor below.

She pushed on the swinging doors and walked in once she reached the lab.

A man with his back towards her was busy examining test tubes when she entered. Vicki felt like she�s seen this back somewhere before.

�Hi, I�m here to pick up the DNA results for file 218-A.� Vicki said, loud enough to get the man�s attention.

The man turned around startled, but smiled as soon as he saw Vicki. �Hey! You�re the girl with the pug from this morning. Remember me?� Alec asked excitedly.

Vicki squinted her eyes, and finally recognized him. She laughed and said, �Oh, you�re the guy I pushed. Haha. Sorry about that.�

Alec smiled and glanced at the tag on Vicki�s lab coat. �No worries. But I don�t remember seeing you at all during all the times I worked here. So you�re a forensic scientist huh?�

He felt his heart almost popping out of his chest. Alec couldn�t believe the girl he was thinking of all morning was actually standing in front of him.

�Yes, it�s always been my passion to be a scientist. And I rarely come down here,� Vicki replied.

Alec nodded and went towards a filing cabinet, pulling out the information Vicki wanted. �Here you go. We were going to bring it up to the Forensic lab for you guys, but I guess we don�t have to now.�

Vicki smiled and thanked him.

�I have a load of work waiting for me. Talk to you later.� After that comment, Vicki walked out as quickly as she went in. She had no idea why, but she felt very nervous and didn�t know why her face turns hot when talking to this guy and she didn�t even know his name yet.

What would you call that feeling?

Alec tried to say good-bye but it was too late, Vicki was already out of site. He sighed since he missed the chance to ask for her name again.

Michelle was busy reading through her files when a ringing from a cell phone interrupted her concentration. It belonged to no one other than the moron sitting across from her.

�Hello,� Ron answered after flipping open his cell.

A girls voice was heard coming form the other line, �Hey Ron, are you off yet?�

�Not until seven, it�s only five right now,� Ron yawned into the phone as he leaned back and stretched out onto his chair.

�You wanna go for a drink after? I know there�s a new bar opening near the harbour. And you did promise that you�ll take me out after my Japan photo shoot,� the girl whined.

�Fine, fine, anything for you Miss Tavia.� Ron said into the phone. He felt kind of exhausted.

�That�s a good boy. Pick me up at seven thirty. Love ya, muahz!� After she blew Ron the kiss, Tavia quickly hung up.

�Tsk, tsk, making dates during working hours. How unprofessional. What if Madame Tang finds out?� Michelle taunted in a disgusted tone while rolling her eyes.

Ron stared at her, and laughed, �Who told you to eavesdrop? Little miss nosy.�

�I didn�t want to hear that icky conversation between you and your girlfriend but, one; your talking was louder than a bullhorn, and two; your cell is really loud. Are you def or something? How does a guy like you get a girlfriend?� Michelle shouted, annoyed. She pretended to gag while stuffing her index finger down her throat.

�Listen devil woman, one; it�s none of your business what the volume of my cell is, and two; Tavia is not my girlfriend. She�s only a good friend ok?�

Ron had no idea why he needed to explain himself to Michelle. He couldn�t help it. He was a little intrigued by this hardheaded girl. But he also couldn�t stand her at the same time.

Their little bicker battle was interrupted by a ringing from someone else�s cell phone. This time it was Michelle�s.

�Hello.� Michelle answered, kind of annoyed. Who could be calling her at work? A man�s voice was heard on the other line.

�Hello Miss Michelle Au (Yip)? The hall you asked about last year for your wedding is available now. Are you still interested?�
