Alessandro started by collecting details from the people that Harvey sent to him. He mentioned that anytime soon, they could be killed in their own office. It's a big problem and close bodyguards won't do much. At this time, they visited Bonnie in the hospital that will be discharged on the same day. And in a few hours, the hearing will start. So, they set up a bodyguard for Bonnie to transfer her. Conrad and MJ were close to their subjects.

They were inside the bulletproof cars and since the raid could happen anytime, Harvey promised them that they would be safe as he installed snipers in a few areas. On their way to the Justice Court, a sound of a bullet hit the glass. However, the glass didn't shatter but the bullet was stuck between the thick glass of the windshield. Conrad covered Johanna and Bonnie inside the car.

"Lay low," Conrad told them as he prepared his gun. They expected to have another but a scream of people could be heard as a few started running. A man fell off the building with his gun. It's starting.

In the other car, Alessandro lay low with his wife between his arms, covering her with his body to protect her. They expected a shower of bullets however, instead of bullets, few bodies fell off the building and he thought that few were killed right on the act. It's more dangerous than they expected.

"Love, are you alright?" Alessandro asked.

"Yeah," Keira hugged her husband as she remained calm, however, her whole body was shaking. Keira looked at MJ who had an earpiece with her.

"Got it." She reached the radio and told everyone that the way is clear.

They relaxed as Alessandro kept his wife in his arms to make sure that no one would hurt her. Keira tapped him but he tightened his arms a little bit.

"You are ruining my hair." She complained.

"It's fine. I can't let any bullet from above hit you."

She giggled and snuggled with him.

"You don't have to come with us, but you just did."

"I have to protect you." He said softly. "That's what I promised to that H-Class ass."

"Oh," She nodded.

"Even though I didn't promise him anything to be exact. My priority is protecting you." He caressed her hair.

"Nice." She nodded at him.

When they reached the justice court, the police escorted them and more bodyguards. MJ and Conrad noticed Chameleon who mingled with the bodyguards carefully. Conrad and MJ nodded at each other. Some possible people could kill them even inside. Then they reached the hearing room as they took their seats. Alessandro was always with his wife, holding her, ready to protect her. Then, beside her was MJ and next was Bonnie. Then, next to Bonnie is Johanna and Conrad.

"Will you be alright?" Johanna asked Bonnie.

She nodded at her and pursed her lips. She's been anxious for the past few days.

They watched as the criminals entered the room with those cuffs on. The police guards led them and Nancy glared at Bonnie. She shuddered a little bit and looked down at her hands. Johanna held her hand to tell her that she wasn't alone.

The judge entered.

"All rise."

They stood and waited for them to mention the next process.

In about a moment. The hearing started.

<><><><>

It takes at least three hours for it to finish. Johanna was already tired after she gave her statement to them. They will have another hearing set for next month. They safely reached the restaurant. However, upon entering, MJ received a message from Harvey through the earpiece that she's wearing. She noticed an upcoming waiter and in a slow-motion, he pulled out something from the Everyone ducked down and MJ covered Keira which was close to her. She felt a pain in her back.

Before Bonnie's eyes, she watched as the gunman in front of them was hit by bullets two times and he fell on the floor. However, another bullet hit him. Again and again. It was like ten times.

The bodyguards who were around them quickly closed the space to protect their subjects. The man who seemed to be a normal waiter suddenly pulled a gun to kill them. But MJ was fast as she protected Keira with her body. She felt being pulled out on top of Keira as Alessandro held her and Keira.

"MJ," Keira's eyes dilated as she reached her.

"I'm fine."

They stared at the gunman lying in the pool of blood. They reserved the whole restaurant for them but somehow, this happened. The Head Guard helped MJ toward the seat. Conrad approached her and checked if she was bleeding. She hesitated to remove her bulletproof jacket but she unzipped it and Conrad checked if she's hurt.

"There's a bruise," Conrad said. "But the bullet didn't hit you."

MJ was glad but the bruise is enough to make Harvey rage like crazy. And seeing the poor body of the assassin who got two clean holes on the forehead, three on the chest and the rest were on his manhood. She looked away and sighed. The poor guy died instantly without reaching his assignment.

"We can't eat here." Alessandro finally said as he put his earpiece on. He looked at the manager. "I'll still pay for the reservation and the damages. But we can't eat here. With one of the waiters nearly killing my wife and her bodyguard, it's better to be safe."

The Manager bowed low.

"I'm so sorry, President De Alegre. This one isn't part of our crew."

"I understand."

"There were people ready to clean it up with the police." He said.

They waited in the restaurant for a while until Harvey told him from the earpiece that they were ready to go.

They entered their car from the underground parking lot. Then, once they reached the Golden Age building to the President's floor, the food that Alessandro requested from the Asian Season, that was personally delivered by the chef, had arrived. Two chefs even served it to them and the bodyguards couldn't eat well, but once Conrad opened up a new conversation, the incident was slowly forgotten.

Johanna looked at Bonnie who was only drinking water as her hands were shaking.

"Hey, you have to stop thinking about it," Johanna told her.

She also never expected that Harvey would be that brutal. But when she mentioned that he was cutting penises off, it only means that something bad happened to MJ that made Harvey like that. Suddenly, her phone, and somebody's phone beep at the same time. They took out their phones. She looked at Keira, Alessandro, MJ, and Conrad, including the Head Guard who received the messages, turned pale. She looked down at the message. There were photos, it was blurry and it said that Nancy and the rest of the boys died as they were about to transfer to the prison. Each of them received a bullet on the head.

She slid her phone into her pocket and sighed. None of them speak anything as they continue with their food. But Keira was the first one who excused herself as Alessandro followed. She watched as the couple entered Keira's office and she looked at Conrad who nodded his head. Well, they seemed to have lost the lead. They were already dead. The case will be hard if they have talented snipers.

Everyone continued the happy conversation as Bonnie and Johanna excited the table. Bonnie stayed in the recording room and Johanna told her to wait there until they had the best security plan for her.

"What happened?" Bonnie asked. "You receive that message… I~~I wanted to know. That even President Keira and President Alessandro were bothered."

"Bonnie, listen." Johanna reached her hands. "Our fight will continue. It will be more dangerous for us."

"Secretary Jo," Bonnie pleaded.

"Nancy and other men who kidnapped you are dead. They were killed by an assassin."

Bonnie gasped as she covered her mouth. Her fragile eyes release those terrified tears. Her heart was clenching as she started sobbing.

"Noo~~"

"I'm sorry. But they will also try to get rid of us. Anyone who is connected to the case…"

"But the killer." Bonnie hiccuped. "I saw a half of her face when I peeked through the door."

Johanna froze from what she said.

"I'm scared, Secretary Jo." Bonnie burst and squeezed Johanna's hand. "I just remembered it now."

Johanna needed Conrad now. They have to seal this one. She won't mention it to anyone first. It's better to be safe.

"Don't say it in front of anyone, for now," Johanna said. "Calm yourself."

Bonnie hiccupped and nodded. Her chest was heaving, her shoulder moved up and down and she kept tearing.

"I will set this up. Do you understand?" Johanna smiled at her gently to assure her.

"Thank you."

Johanna gritted her teeth and looked at the camera of the recording room. Keira only has access to this part and Keira has to know too.

"Knock, knock." Conrad's voice and knocking outside the recording room caught her attention. Johanna smiled and stood to open the door. "Hey, babe. So, what's up?"

Johanna pulled him and closed the door.

"We need to talk."

Conrad grinned and raised his hands.

"You sound sexy."
