Since Jeff was a former FBI agent, he had so many connections and he knows well how to solve a case.
And because he can't risk Siren's life, he looked for his former asset who knows how to do undercover, to show up as Siren.
"If the price is right, I'll go with pleasure." She smiled wickedly.
"What do you want?" He looked at her face seriously.
"How about a car?"
Jeff thought about the Lamborghini that Siren owns. Maybe she won't mind giving it as a compensation.
Knowing Diana, even if he would pay her a million, if she says she wants the car, she probably takes the car.
"Deal. Lamborghini Aventador."
"Call!" She offers him a handshake.
--------
Dinner with candle light. Rose petals on the ground, and a bottle of wine on a bucket.
Conrad looked around as he seriously thinking what's with the stuff all about.
"Did you liked it?"
He heard Meryll's voice from behind. He suddenly turned and faced her.
She was wearing a yellow dress with a skirt that is above the knee. It was off-shoulder and it was exposing her white and clear-skinned shoulder.
She was always this beautiful.
"What's the occasion?" He asked.
"Nothing. I just want to exert some effort." She said with a smile. "I noticed that lately, we are not having enough time to see each other. We're always busy with our works that we even barely have time to go out."
In his silence, Conrad felt a pang of guilt in his chest. She's absolutely right. He himself couldn't even remember when was the last time they see each other. It's not that he was that busy. It's just because he didn't have the feeling of wanting to be with Meryll. He even refuses the urge to call her if he was at home.
"Sorry." It's all he could say.
"I understand. That's why I personally took the chance to prepare all of this. I hope you liked it." She clung her arms around his neck.
"Of course." It was under his nose.
"Come and take a look. I cooked your favorite." She pulled him on to the table.
He looked at her every move. But the more he looks at her, the deeper the guilt he felt inside.
Everything had change between them, and he knew it well. Just by looking at her right now, he felt empty. He could feel nothing. He could no longer fathom any reason how he fell in love with her before.
The feeling was gone before he could ever realize it. Not knowing when he exactly fell out from it and how it went that way.
"What's wrong?" He didn't noticed that Meryll was already asking him.
Conrad felt like he was being awaken from a daydream when he heard her voice.
"Huh? Um... Nothing." He shook his head.
"Aren't you feeling well?" Meryll stops putting food in his plate.
"No. I'm just... tired." He says. Not wanting to make further explanation.
Meryll stretch out her arm, reaching to hold his hand. "I can massage you if you want."
"No need for that. I think I just need some rest."
"Conrad?"
"Hmm?" He looked at her. His eyes meets her gaze.
"Do we have a problem?" Her face was so confused while looking at him.
"Problem?" He straighten his body on his seat. "Why do you say so?"
"I feel like you are putting distance between us these days. It makes me overthink that there is something wrong."
His face softens as he saw how her eyes were saddened when she said that. And he could not say the truth because he's afraid that she will not going to understand his reasons.
Meryll is a good person. And he can't afford to hurt her.
"It's just because of the load of works nowadays. I'm just stressed with it." He smiled at her.
If she would only knew how much he wanted to slap himself right now.

When Siren got the address, she immediately calls Jeff.
His agent was ready and they are just waiting for the call.
Siren was nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat. Diana looks fine but she's afraid that she will get caught too.
By her make up and other prosthetics, Diana looks exactly like her. Except her voice.
"Second street, the bar on the last lane." Jeff instructed Diana.
He put earpiece on her ear and contact lenses with a camera.
"Relax, wipe that shit on your face. I gotta bring your buddy back, a'right?" She tapped Siren's cheek.
Siren wiped out her tears. She don't have anything else to do but to believe that they will get Harry back.
"Please, be careful." She hugged her.
Diana looks at Jeff with wonder. This young lady is nothing but a baby, she thought.
Jeff and Siren rode the other car while Diana hops on a taxi.
When the woman enters the bar, Jeff checked the camera and they watch what is happening inside.
A young man approached her.
"Siren?" He asked. Diana nods her head.
The guy gave her a glass of drink. "Drink this."
"Be careful. He might put some drug on it." Jeff said.
Diana acts like she drank from it. And when she's done, she acts like she's dizzy. The man took her arm and pulled her into the direction of what seems like a fire exit.
They step down until they reach the basement. They could see that there's a lot of youngsters there. Smoking and drinking, both boys and girls are doing shits.
Until Diana focuses her stare on man who's walking to her direction.
"Todd?" Siren recognized him.
"We just met earlier, did you miss me all of a sudden?" He smirked.
"It's too early to have conversations with that witch." It's Sam. She looks like she's drunk like Todd. "Take her to the cell."
Two guys pulled her to the closed door and throw her inside. It was dark and they couldn't see anything.
"There's a body here." She whispered.
"That must be Harry." Siren nervously conclude.
"I'll call the cops now. Just wait a little." Jeff said.
"They will be surprised when they get here." Diana grinned.
"Their families too." Jeff answered.
"Hey ..." They heard Diana's voice. "Are you Harry?"
"Who...a-are... you?" It was a thin string-like whisper.
Siren's face lit up as she heard his voice. Her body shakes as she suppressed the urge to ran out there.
"I came here to take you. Are you alright?"
"Tell... her, I'm sorry... I failed to take... care of her."
"You idiot!" Diana's voice become agitated. She get pissed with the guy. How dare he say those words?
"Tell her to take care always..."
"I'm not a lawyer to take care of your last will. So hold your breath until we get out of here. She's waiting for you outside, so better hold it!"
When Jeff turned his head to his side, he saw Siren's face. She's crying again.
"Stop crying. It won't make any help." He said coldly.
When the door opened, someone switched on the light. To Diana's horror, she closed her eyes quickly. She don't want to let the young lady saw how Harry looks so horrible right now. He looks like a corpse right now. His face was unrecognizable and he cant even move his finger.
He was like someone who just need his last breath to be cutted.
But to their worse surprised, someone splashed water on them.
Diana gritted her teeth.
"You see? When you almost broke my arm, I had your friend here." Someone pulled her hair hard. "Look at him. One arm, one life."
"It was Sam! Look at her! Open your eyes!"
When she opened her eyes, she saw a lot of men around them. Looking at her devilishly.
Sam laughed so evil. "Are you so scared that you can't even speak? Why? Didn't you told me that I will be the one to lose? But look at you now..." She pulled Diana's hair even harder. "You'll be losing your dear friend here. Later, you and your baby will follow him too."
Hearing her words, Jeff got furious that he wants to explode. How could a woman like her can be so evil like that?
