“Raymond!” Michelle excites upon seeing Raymond walk out of the emergency room. Seeing his badly bruised face and arm, she panics, “Omigosh, are you all right, I got the hospital’s call and heard you were admitted in, and…”
“I’m all right,” Raymond assures, producing a headache from the ongoing comments.
“Raymond,” Matt calls, approaching the two of them with Mimi and Lai Sok following behind, “What happened man?”
Raymond, still questioning the event, “I don’t know, a white van just pulled up beside us, and…” he trails off, not knowing what could have happened to Rain.
“Raymond Lam!”
Hearing the harsh call of this name, Raymond turns around to suffer another punch in the face, causing him to almost fall backwards.
“What the hell were you thinking,” Edison outrages, “You should know that Kwok Lung would find someone to harm Rain, and you still let it happen!” Before Edison could take another fist to Raymond, Matt and Mimi holds him back.
Raymond, guilty to the words accused, looks away in shame.
“Don’t be like this, Raymond didn’t want for this to happen,” Michelle defends Raymond. “No one wants Rain to be kidnapped.”
“Exactly,” Matt immediately agrees, “Rain is the Prosecution lawyer, we would never hope for to be kidnapped and for Kwok Lung to be freed.”
Calming down, Edison takes a deep breath as Matt and Mimi lets go of their hold on him. Taking another deep breath, Edison suddenly punches the wall with his fist, startling them all but Raymond, who was still at lost emotions.

“Edison,” Chun Pui quickly acknowledges, as Edison enters the manor doors. “Do they have any news on Rain yet?”
“No,” Edison reluctantly answers.
Chun Pui, feeling his blood pressure rise, holds onto his chest in hope for it to stop.
Edison, seeing the situation, helps to seat Chun Pui on the sofa, “Chun Sok, be careful. You have to watch yourself, the doctor told me that you are overbuilding on stress again, and this could lead you to have a heart attack at any moment.”
Chun Pui, shaking his head, “It’s been days since Rain was kidnapped, how can I not worry,” he admits. “If it’s Kwok Lung, just get rid of the charges against him, that’s all he wants.”
Seeing Chun Pui’s distress of the on-going events, Edison assures, “Don’t worry about it Chun Sok, I’ll take care of everything, Rain will return home soon.”

Matt shuts the door tight as he jumped out of Raymond’s office.
Mimi, seeing the action, “I told you not to bug him, didn’t you ask for that,” she scolds at Matt, as she gets up from her desk and towards him.
“Hey, I was just trying to comfort him as friend,” Matt defends himself, “How am I suppose to know that he’d suddenly blow.”
“As long as he can’t find Rain, he’ll be this way,” Lai Sok acknowledges, “Just let him calm down in peace.”
“What’s wrong?” Michelle asks, walking into the department halfway through the conversation, with a cup of coffee in hand.
“Michelle, thank God you’re here,” Matt exclaims. “You better go talk to Raymond before he blows the whole station down.”

Hearing a soft knock on his office door, Raymond gives an annoyed response, “Come in.”
“Hey,” Michelle whispers upon walking into Raymond’s office and closing the door. “Here, I bought you some coffee,” she says, placing the coffee on his desk.
“Thanks,” Raymond accepts, feeling guilty for his harsh tone of voice earlier.
Taking a seat across from Raymond, Michelle sits quietly as Raymond took a drink from the coffee. “Feeling better?”
“Yes, thanks,” Raymond gratifies. “How are they out there?” he asks, regarding his earlier outburst towards them.
“They’re just trying to find more clues in locating Rain,” Michelle informs him. Seeing his uncomforted expression, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine, we’ll find Rain,” she assures, reaching onto the desk and placing her hands on top of his.
Raymond, returning the gesture, takes her hands in his, “Sorry,” he apologizes. “I know that I have been ignoring you these past few days, and even taking out my frustration on you…”
“It’s okay,” Michelle assures, “I understand.”
Seeing her comforting smile, Raymond forces on a weak smile.

Patiently waiting as Kwok Lung was being lead into the private visitor’s room, Edison looks up as Kwok Lung walks in.
Kwok Lung, holding a triumphant smile across his face, “Edison, how nice of you to pay me a visit,” he taunts, taking his seat across from Edison.
Surprisingly, Edison holds onto his patient poise, and returns the smile, “Haven’t visited Lung Sok for a while, thought I’d do so now.”
Not knowing the reason behind Edison’s tolerance, Kwok Lung directs to the main point, “I heard about Rain’s situation, tell Chun Pui I send him my regards. Maybe if I wasn’t in prison, awaiting my sentence, I’d be able to assist in locating Rain.”
Taking note of his obvious hint, Edison gives a smirk, “That’s ironic, I’m also here to send you someone’s regard.” Seeing Kwok Lung’s questioning look, Edison continues, “Mrs. Kwok told me to send her and Aaron regards to you.”
“You-“ Kwok Lung shows his sign of warning, and fear.
“How old is Aaron again?” Edison turns the situation around and taunts Kwok Lung, “Only six right?” Knowing that Kwok Lung was on the hook, “I know you would never want anything to happen to Mrs. Kwok or Aaron, just like I don’t want Rain to be in harm at any moment.”

Walking from the visitor’s entrance, Edison turns around to head towards his car, and upon doing so, encounters Raymond approaching him.
Raymond, questioning Edison’s motives for being at the court prison, “What are you doing here?”
Edison gives a sarcastic smile, “Why can’t I be here? Can’t I simply be paying one of my uncles a visit in prison.”
Knowing what the situation could lead up to, Raymond warns, “Edison Chen, don’t step into this any further, let the police handle this.”
His expression immediately changing to his seriousness, Edison glares at Raymond, “And how does the police handle anything? By sitting and waiting, and telling everyone else to sit and wait with them.”
With that, Edison continues to head towards his car. Before he could take any further steps, Raymond grabs Edison arms, as Edison fiercely pulls it away. Sensing the tension for the situation, Raymond stood his current position, as Edison drove off behind him.
