The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 314 314: What Are You Doing Here?

Just as expected, members of the Special Task Force Eagles had the same surprised expression when they saw Elle together with Erick.

Their reactions were almost the same as Bryan, June, Rose, and April the first time Elle appeared in front of them at the headquarters.

Carl: “Oh gosh, does Elle rise from the dead?

Allen: “Who is she?”

Jane: “Tell me I am not dreaming. She’s not Catseye, is she?”

Captain Jason: “…”

Marie: “???”

‘What are they talking about?’ Marie thought to herself as she had no recollection of Elle.

Meanwhile, the four members of Alpha Cinco burst out laughing as they watched the funny reactions of their colleagues in the joint task force.

Even Captain Jason was tongue-tied at the moment. How could it be two different people had the same face?

“I already saw this kind of reaction before” Elle said awkwardly, letting out a forced laugh.

“Hi everyone, I am Aliyah Ross… Ali for short, a reporter from Morning Star Media Network! Apology for gatecrashing. Chief Lee insisted on bringing me here.” Elle introduced herself to them.

“I knew it! There’s no way that she’s Elle!” Carl exclaimed.

Allen also heaved a sigh of relief. “Whoa! I thought Elle came back. Anyway Nice meeting you, Miss Aliyah Ross. I am Allen. Let’s be friends starting today.”

The others also introduced themselves to Elle. Elle fell silent the instant her gaze met Captain Jason’s eyes. The scene in the M.V Athena suddenly crossed her mind.

‘It was Captain Jason who lied to Erick that I was already dead. I still wonder why he did that. Does he really hate Catseye so much?’ Elle couldn’t help but ponder.

Erick and Elle joined them. Since they were now complete, the group started to eat and enjoyed the food.

Rose nudged June’s shoulder to capture his attention. She leaned closer and whispered something to him.

“Eh, do you think Chief Lee is courting Aliyah since she looks like Elle?” Rose asked him with intrigue.

“I don’t know. Maybe yes. Maybe no. Do you want to ask Chief Lee directly?” June whispered back.

Rose rolled her eyes. “Fool. If I want to ask him directly then I shouldn’t have asked you this.”

June just let out a soft chuckle.

As usual, Erick was very attentive to Elle. He made sure that she won’t feel out of place. His attention was fixed on her.

By just watching the two of them, they felt like they had witnessed this familiar scene before- Elle and Erick moments during Rose’ birthday party. They couldn’t help but be reminded of Elle.

‘Is Erick falling for this girl just because she looks like Elle?’

This was the question running in their mind right now.

However, they couldn’t deny the fact that Erick returned to his usual self since the moment Aliyah came to them. They were glad to see Erick smiling once again.

The group announced the start of the pool party. Everyone changed to their swimwear. Others started to swim and enjoy soaking in the pool. Only the joint task force remained in their tables.

“Thank you for this surprise party. I am really happy to be with you once again.” Marie thanked everyone.

June leaned over to Allen. “Hey, are you ready for the confession later?”

“Yes. I think so. But I am a little bit nervous.” Allen admitted.

“You can do it, man! You have our support.” June encouraged him.

Allen just nodded with a smile.

Meanwhile, April and Bryan called the attention of their colleagues.

“Hey everyone can you lend us some ears. We have something to announce and share with you, today.” Bryan said to them.

Everyone averted their gaze to Bryan and April.

“We decided to get married next month!” April shared with them, there was a gleam of joy in her eyes.

“Whoa! Really?” Rose exclaimed with excitement

Bryan and April raised their entangled hands as they showed everyone their engagement rings.

Jane: “Oh my gosh!”

Marie: “So sweet!”

Carl: “Congrats to both of you!”

Allen: “Whoa, we will have another reunion at your wedding!”

June: “I knew it! Finally, you decided to take the next level of your relationship!”

Captain Jason: “I will be one of your sponsors in this wedding.”

Erick and Elle just smiled as they looked at the couple. They were happy for them.

‘You owe me this Bryan. I helped you in the past. Hahaha Thanks to my brilliant idea. Good job. You made her fall for you.’ Elle thought to herself.

Then suddenly Elle felt a hand grabbing hers. It was Erick. She turned to look at him confusedly.

“Bryan should have been my Best Man during my wedding. But I guess, it won’t happen now.” Erick stated.

Elle was rendered speechless. That was their plan before. Both Elle and Erick were looking forward for their wedding ceremony. But unfortunately, it didn’t happen.

Elle felt a little bit uncomfortable remembering the past. She stood up and excused herself.

“Erick I will just go to the comfort room.”

“Alright.” Erick nodded then he released her hand from his grasp.

Elle needed to have some privacy first to calm herself down and gather her emotion.

She was on her way to the comfort room when she suddenly bumped into someone.

Thud!

“Aw sorry, Miss!”

“It’s alright. No worries.”

When their eyes met and saw each other’s face, the two of them were stunned for a moment.

‘Black Shadow?!’

‘Catseye?!’

Elle was the first one who recovered from the shock. In an instant, she was able to conceal her emotions, pretending that she didn’t know him.

Elle slightly bowed her head and decided to walk away. But before she could take a step, Black Shadow had grabbed her elbow right away.

“Hey, Mister, what are you doing?” Elle asked him, removing his arm away from her.

“Kitten! You are alive?!” Black Shadow mumbled in disbelief.

Elle wrinkled her brows, feigning ignorance.

“Kitten? Who’s that? Sorry, Mister. I think you just mistook me for someone.”

Black Shadow squinted his eyes as he observed Elle’s reaction.

“Did you also lose your memory? You can’t recognize me?”

“You are frightening me. Can you let go of my hand? I didn’t know you. I don’t have any idea what you are talking about.” Elle continued pretending that she couldn’t recognize him.

“Then who are you?” Black Shadow asked, lifting an eyebrow.

Elle rolled her eyes skyward before taking her calling card in her wallet. She gave it to Black Shadow.

“I am Aliyah Ross, from Morning Star Media Network.”

Black Shadow burst out laughing. He didn’t completely believe her. He knew that assassins had several aliases and identities. What if Aliyah Ross was one of Catseye’s identities?

What he did was he pulled Elle in an area where no one could see them.

“Hey! Stop pulling me!” Elle complained.

Elle didn’t show much resistance or else Black Shadow would notice that She’s really Elle. She should act like a normal girl, someone who couldn’t fight back.

“Now, we are just alone here. Now, talk to me and spill the beans! What are you doing here? The Task Force is also here. Are they aware that you are alive? Where have you been these past two years?” Black Shadow bombarded her with so many questions.

‘ you Black Shadow! The hell are you asking me this. I should be the one asking him. What is he doing here? Don’t tell me he’s here because of Marie.’

“Hey, kitten ”

Instead of answering him, Elle shouted.

“Help! Somebody! HELP Me! He-ummh”

Black Shadow immediately covered Elle’s mouth.

“Hey, why are you yelling?! Kitten! What kind of play are you playing right now?”

“Aw!” Black Shadow grunted

Elle bit his hand.

“Hey you weirdo! I am not Kitten! Why are you keep on calling me Kitten!?”

Then Elle took a step back away from him. Pretending that she was in a state of panic. Her eyes darted everywhere, fretting over what to do.

“Don’t come near me! Are you a pervert? Why did you bring me here? Are you planning to r*pe me?”

Black Shadow was dumbfounded as he watched the panicking woman in front of him.

‘Did I really mistook her? This woman and Catseye look exactly the same. Are they different persons?’

“Hey calm down. I am not gonna hurt you. I am sorry. I think I was just mistaken.”

Elle smiled inwardly.

“Do you believe me now?” Elle asked him.

“Yes.”

“So, will you let me go now? Can I leave now?”

Black Shadow heaved a sigh of defeat.

“Alright you can leave but grant me my request first.”

“Request? What is it then? I will do it. Just promise me that you will let me go and won’t hurt me.” Elle continued pretending as damsel in distress.

“Yes.. I will. Hmm come here. Let’s take a picture together. That’s my request.” Black Shadow said to her with a wide grin.

Elle:”…”

‘Seriously Black? Taking a picture together. What are you planning to do with my picture?’

“So it’s a deal?”

“Why should I do that? You are a stranger. This is the first time we met!” Elle complained to him.

‘, I want to hit him and punch him in the face!’ Elle was trying to keep her cool.

Black Shadow extended his arm to her. “By the way, I am Brandon Brandon Stone. Nice to meet you, Aliyah Ross.”

“Now…you know my name. And I know you. We are not strangers to each other anymore.”

Elle:”…”

After saying that, Black Shadow moved closer to her, putting his arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer as he took their selfie picture using his mobile phone
