Chapter 62: Get alex out!


[Central District Police Station]


Chief Li sat at his desk.


Paperwork piled high.


Case files everywhere.


He rubbed his temples.


Long day.


Suddenly—


He looked up.


Toward the window.


Something felt wrong.


A moment later—


Engine sound.


Headlights swept through.


Chief Li frowned.


Stood.


Walked to window.


A black car.


Sleek. Expensive.


Pulling up to the entrance.


The door opened.


A woman stepped out.


Black satin dress.


Hugging every curve.


Slit up the thigh.


Black stockings.


Heels clicking.


Chief Li’s frown deepened.


Late night visitor?


This time?


He grabbed his coat.


Headed downstairs.


[Station Entrance]


Guards stood at gate.


Straightened when they saw her approach.


"Ma’am—"


Rose stopped.


Smiled.


"Good evening."


Reached into purse.


Pulled out badge.


Silver gleaming under streetlight.


Law Enforcement Bureau - Special Operations Division


Both guards froze.


Eyes widened.


"M-ma’am!"


Saluted.


Stepped aside immediately.


Rose walked past.


Heels clicking on tile.


Chief Li rushed down stairs.


Intercepted her in lobby.


"Ma’am!"


Slightly out of breath.


"I’m Chief Li."


"How can I help—"


"I’m looking for someone."


Rose’s voice calm.


Professional.


"A student."


"Arrested earlier today."


Chief Li blinked.


"A student?"


"His name is Alex."


Pause.


"I need him released."


"Immediately."


Chief Li’s mind raced.


Alex?


The one from earlier?


The Rei Family case?


"Ma’am, I—"


"There’s been a mistake."


Rose cut him off.


"The arrest was illegal."


"No warrant."


"No proper procedure."


She stepped closer.


"And I’m here to correct it."


Chief Li swallowed.


"I’ll need to verify—"


Commotion outside.


More engines.


Headlights.


Everyone turned.


Through the glass doors—


Three figures approaching.


Chief Li’s stomach dropped.


More?


[Entrance - Moments Later]


The doors opened.


Sebastian entered first.


Silver hair.


Immaculate suit.


Behind him—


Raven walked in.


School uniform still on.


Face flushed.


Breathing hard.


Eyes red.


Luna right beside her.


Pink twin tails bouncing.


Holding Raven’s arm.


Tight.


Sebastian stopped.


Looked at Rose.


Nodded politely.


"Madam Rose."


Rose’s eyebrow raised slightly.


"Sebastian."


She recognized him.


Frost Family butler.


Sebastian turned to Chief Li.


"Good evening, Chief."


His voice smooth.


"We’re here for the same reason, I believe."


"A student named Alex."


Chief Li’s face went white.


Two groups?


Law Enforcement Bureau AND Frost Family?


What the hell is going on?!


Luna suddenly squeaked.


Grabbed Raven’s arm tighter.


"Raven..."


Voice shaking.


"I’m scared..."


Her hand slipped.


Grabbed something else.


Raven’s round, bouncy breast.


Squeezed.


Raven yelped.


"LUNA!"


Slapped her hand away.


Face bright red.


"Stop touching me!"


Luna’s hands trembled.


"Sorry! Sorry!"


"I’m just nervous!"


Grabbed again.


This time higher.


Raven’s shoulder—no, chest again.


"LUNA!"


"Sorry, babe! You know me!"


"Quite, ladies."


Sebastian cleared his throat.


Didn’t look at them.


Maintained composure.


Rose’s lips twitched.


Almost smiled.


Chief Li stared.


Mouth open.


What is happening?


Chief Li looked around.


At Rose.


At Sebastian.


At the two girls.


Sweat forming on forehead.


"I... I need to check the records."


Turned to an officer.


"Bring me today’s arrest log."


"Now."


The officer nodded.


Ran off.


Rose leaned against the wall.


One leg crossed over the other.


Dress slit showing thigh.


Arms folded under chest.


Sebastian pulled out his phone.


Opened notes app.


Started typing.


[19:47 - Arrived at Central District Police Station]


[Chief Li: Nervous, sweating. Clearly uninformed.]


[Madam Rose: I think she looks like about to have a date.]


Raven paced.


Back and forth.


Fists clenched.


"This is taking too long!"


Her voice sharp.


"Where IS he?!"


Luna grabbed her arm.


"Raven, calm down—"


"I AM CALM!"


Raven snapped.


Luna flinched.


Hand slipped.


Grabbed chest again.


Squeezed.


Raven froze.


"Luna..."


"Your hand."


Luna looked down.


Eyes widened.


"Oh god—"


Squeezed again.


"SORRY!"


Let go.


Raven’s face red.


Took a deep breath.


"Just... just stand there."


"Don’t touch anything."


Luna nodded.


Stood still.


Hands clasped in front.


Two seconds later—


Reached out again.


Raven sighed.


Gave up.


Let it happen.


Sebastian glanced up from phone.


Looked at them.


Looked away.


Updated notes:


[Miss Luna: Extremely nervous. Poor impulse control. Suspected lesbian.]


[Miss Raven: Tolerating harassment. Noteworthy patience development.]


The officer returned.


Holding clipboard.


Handed it to Chief Li.


Chief Li scanned it.


Flipped pages.


Frowned.


"There’s no arrest warrant here."


Looked up.


"No official documentation."


Rose’s eyes narrowed.


"Meaning?"


Chief Li wiped forehead.


"Meaning someone arrested him..."


"Without proper authorization."


Raven stepped forward.


"WHO?!"


Voice loud.


Angry.


Luna jumped.


Grabbed Raven from behind.


Arms around waist.


Face pressed against back.


"Don’t yell..."


Muffled.


"I get scared when you yell..."


Raven ignored her.


Glared at Chief Li.


"Who arrested Alex?!"


"Tell me NOW!"


Chief Li flinched.


"I... I’ll find out."


Turned to another officer.


"Get Squad Leader Chen."


"Immediately."


The officer hesitated.


"Sir, he’s... in the detention area."


"With the Rei Family representatives."


Room went silent.


Rose straightened.


Stopped leaning.


"Rei Family?"


Her voice dropped.


Chief Li’s face went pale.


"The... the Rei Family sent people?"


"Earlier today?"


The officer nodded.


"Their butler."


"And the two young masters."


"Rex and Ethan."


"They requested access to the prisoner."


Pause.


"Squad Leader Chen approved it."


Raven’s face went white.


"They’re WITH him?!"


"Right now?!"


Luna’s grip tightened.


"Raven, your heart’s beating really fast..."


Voice muffled against her back.


"I can feel it..."


Hands sliding up.


"Luna, not now—"


"It’s beating so fast—"


Hands cupped.


Raven’s eye twitched.


But didn’t push her away.


Too focused.


"Take him out safe!"


Looked at Chief Li.


"NOW."


"I want him safe!!"


Rose stepped forward.


Adjusted her hair.


"Chief Li."


"I suggest you comply."


She shifted weight.


Hip cocked.


One hand on waist.


"Before this becomes..."


Smiled.


"An incident."


Chief Li swallowed.


Nodded rapidly.


"Of course."


He turned, almost slipped, and screamed.


"Get Mr Alex here right now!!"


....


[Detention Cell]


Alex sat on the floor.


Shirt torn open.


Blood on his chest.


Whip marks crisscrossed his back.


Burns from the baton.


He breathed through his teeth.


Eyes shut.


Rex paced in front of him.


Changed into fresh clothes now.


Clean. Pressed.


Hands behind his back.


Ethan wheeled closer.


Stopped right in front.


Both staring down.


The butler stood by the wall.


Phone out.


Recording.


Rex crouched.


"You know what’s funny?"


Alex smirked.


"You have ED?"


Smack!


More blood came from Alex’s mouth.


Rex wiped his hand.


"We haven’t even started yet."
