The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 483 483: Allen's Whereabouts

On the same night, Erick received three missed calls from Allen. Erick was not able to answer his call since Erick and Elle together with Erick’s parents were having dinner during those times and his phone was left inside his room.

Aside from Erick, Carl also received several missed calls from Allen. Carl was occupied by something and was not able to answer it. When he tried to call Allen back, his phone was already unattended.

Carl didn’t take it seriously. He decided to ask Allen tomorrow in the office. Erick, on the other hand, felt troubled when he received Allen’s call. He tried contacting him but failed. He had a nagging feeling about this.

“Hubby, what’s wrong?” Elle hugged Erick from behind. She just came out of the bathroom after taking a warm bath.

“Allen called me when we were having our dinner. I just saw it. I tried calling him but he was not answering. His phone is already unattended.” Erick answered her, turning around to face and hug Elle.

“Did he send any message?” She asked again.

Erick shook his head. “No. Only missed call. I had a bad feeling about this. Allen will not call me if this is not important.”

Elle just cupped Erick’s face, kissing him on his lips. She wanted to erase the worry on his face. She wanted to comfort him.

After she broke the kiss, Elle told him. “Don’t overthink. Maybe Allen just wanted to ask something. Then his phone’s battery suddenly was drained, that’s why you couldn’t contact him. Try calling him again later. You can also ask him tomorrow.”

“Alright, I will. Let’s go to bed now. Staying up late is not good for you and our little Lee.” Erick reminded Elle.

Elle followed Erick like an obedient child. She had to listen to him for their baby’s sick. She really appreciated Erick. He was hands-on when taking care of her. He did research on how to make pregnant women healthy. The dos and don’ts for Elle.

He even asked Dr. Gomez for some tips and important points to remember. Dr. Gomez referred Erick to his Ob-gyn friend. But Erick didn’t inform Dr. Gomez about Elle’s true identity. Dr. Gomez didn’t know that Erick was about to become a father already.

At around 11:00 pm, Erick tried to call Allen once again but his phone was still off. Erick couldn’t explain but he felt uneasy about this. He just hoped that Allen was just alright. He decided to confront him tomorrow.

***********

Morning came. Erick came to the office early. The moment he arrived, only Carl was present. Allen, Rose, and June were not yet around. Carl and Erick exchanged morning greetings with each other.

Erick asked him right away regarding Allen’s whereabouts. “Is Allen here?”

“Not yet, Chief. He might be on the way now. Do you need anything from him? Did he commit some mistake, Chief?” Carl asked Erick after noticing his troubled expression.

Erick shook his head with a faint smile. “It’s nothing. I just want to check on him and talk with him personally. I noticed that he was problematic for the past few days.”

Carl nodded his head while scratching the back of his head. “Maybe because he was heartbroken after Marie rejected him. Hehehe.”

Everyone already heard the news that Marie already had a boyfriend. They knew that Allen and Marie had a heart to heart talk. Allen accepted and respected Marie’s decision. He was aware that he couldn’t force someone’s heart to love a person.

But he admitted to his friends that he was sad and hurt by this incident. He truly loved Marie. He just wished Marie to be happy with the person whom she chose.

Erick and Carl decided to wait for others. Erick went straight to his office. He kept checking the clock. June and Rose were already present in the office. Only Allen didn’t arrive yet. Carl and Erick wondered what took him so long to come.

Erick couldn’t wait any longer. He became more restless since Allen didn’t arrive yet. It was already 9:30 am. They were supposed to come into the office at around 8:00 am. Allen was already an hour and a half late.

“Guys, do you know where’s Allen?” Erick asked his team.

June and Rose exchanged glances with one another before shrugging their shoulders. Carl also frowned when Allen didn’t arrive yet.

“Is there something wrong with him? Something bad happened? Did you hear anything from him?” Erick couldn’t help but feel anxious.

“I received missed calls from Allen last night. But when I tried to call him back his phone was already out of reach,” Carl informed them. He began to worry now after seeing Erick’s serious expression.

“I also received several calls from him. Just like you, I tried to contact him but I couldn’t. What happened to him? I think I should go and see him in his apartment.” Erick went inside his office to get his phone and car keys.

“Chief, let me accompany you.” Carl volunteered himself to come with Erick.

Rose leaned on June, whispering something. “See, I told you. Allen is very suspicious. He is nowhere again. I wonder what he was trying to do for these past few weeks.”

“Hey, don’t be judgemental. We didn’t know what happened to Allen. What if he is not feeling well today,” June still defended Allen.

“Alright. I know. It’s just me being paranoid.” Rose felt guilty. She just heaved a deep sigh while looking at Carl and Erick who were about to leave the office.

They were about to reach the door when suddenly Officer Kim entered the office. He had a gloomy expression on his face.

“Officer Kim?” Erick was surprised to see him.

“Chief Lee. I’m sorry I didn’t call you ahead of time. I decided to come here personally to inform you about something.” Officer Kim sounded restless and anxious as well.

“What is it, Officer Kim?” Erick asked him.

“It’s about Agent Allen. His body was found this morning…”
