《Call Of Death》Chapter 38 : Shielding You 1
Advertisement
They've been doing the same thing for quite some time now yet Devius didn't notice anything suspicious while observing their surroundings and everyone at the bar. The only thing he noticed was his partner's anxiety. Even if Detective Lee was sitting perfectly still, Devius could see and feel that he isn't comfortable at all. He couldn't tell if it's because of the fact that it's the detective's first in that kind of place — because it's his first time too and he doesn't feel that anxious.
"Cai, why do you seem so nervous?" He whispered at him in confusion.
Detective Lee doesn't want to tell him the real reason behind his reactions. In reality, Cameron felt nervous and uncomfortable because of the moving lights, noisy people, loud music but most of all, it's because the whole place is dark and the only source of light were the party lights. Being in a place like that, Cameron felt like he was that child again. The place is suffocating him. If he had a choice, he would just leave and never look back but because of their mission, he has to endure everything. Detective Lee just sighed and shook his head.
"What? Is it because it's your first time here?" Devius asked.
"Hmm. I'm not used to noisy places like this." He reasoned out.
"Well, it's for our mission, like you said. Just try to relax and don't act suspicious." Officer Chad patted his shoulder.
Even if his junior's touch managed to ease his anxiety, the fact that he's still feeling worried and nervous couldn't be hidden. Cameron has this feeling that something bad is about to happen but he couldn't tell if it's because of his anxiety or if that's his senses telling him.
"Just relax." He heard Devius spoke again.
"Tss! Fine, I just want to get this mission done." Detective Lee stated with a sigh.
Officer Chad smiled and went back in observing. After sometime, they noticed someone who looked a bit off. It's a guy wearing a black polo and black pants. His hair is like that anime character, Muzan—if you don't know Muzan, you can just say that his hair looks like Michael Jackson's. With all the curls and ponytails. He kept looking around as if searching for someone, at first, Devius didn't bother to suspect him because he could just be someone looking for his partner but seeing how he acts now, something about him is not right. He also seemed really anxious. As if he would fear his own shadow. Officer Devius Chad kept watch on him.
"Cai, I think I found the person we're looking for." He whispered towards Detective Lee.
Cameron simply looked around. "Where?"
"That guy sitting near the door. The one with the curly hair." Officer Chad pointed using his lips.
Detective Lee turned to look at the man whom his partner was referring to and at first glance, he already notice that he looks off. Detective Lee nodded his head and turned to his partner.

"Just keep your eyes on him. I'm sure he has someone with him and that's my job to look for that person." Cameron ordered as he got up.
"But, Cai, I forgot to ask who gave you the information about that person?" The officer asked.
Detective Cameron Lee took a deep breath and leaned on the chair before saying, "Red."
"Huh?" Devius didn't hear what he said.
"Red gave me the information that there's someone in this place that might know something about the culprit." Detective Lee explained a little longer.
"You mean, he called you again? Why didn't you tell me?" Officer Chad was a bit confused why he felt a bit pissed by the fact that his partner didn't even bother to tell him about that.
Detective Lee raised his brow. "Why do I have to tell you? And one more thing, he just called me last night and this morning, he only texted me about the information." He said in a long litany.
"Still, we don't know anything about that mysterious Red guy. You can't just trust him." Officer Chad argued.
"Tss. You have nothing to worry, I asked Parker to confirm everything before I decided to trust that mysterious caller. Kairo said everything is accurate." Cameron explained.
Devius just sighed. "I'm just worried about you. I don't want you getting hurt." He whispered but Cameron clearly heard it.
Detective Lee furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Officer Chad's worried face. For some reason, he felt a bit weird but his heart likes how his partner reacts about everything. He took a deep breath and shove the feelings away.
"Hey, boys." They both turned at the girl who went near them.
"Do you need anything, miss?" Detective Lee asked with his usual unexpressive voice.
"Well, I and my friend there wants to treat you to a drink." She pointed at another girl.
"It's fine, we're not here to drink, you can go and tell your friend." He straightforwardly refused, the woman looked disappointed and just walked away.
"Cai, you'll really remain single until your death if you act like that towards a girl." Devius teased but deep inside, he felt happy that his partner refused the girl's offer.
"Tss! I'm not here to get some girl, I'm here to get a man." Cameron did mean something else when he said that but Officer Chad understand it in different manner.
"You...are here to get a man?" He swallowed hard while asking.
Getting what the latter means, Cameron gave him a death glare. "Will you stop what you're thinking or you want me to hit you?" He growled.
"What? Why? What am I thinking?"
"Devius Chad, by the looks you're giving me, I know what playing inside your brain. That's not what I mean by 'I am here to get a man', alright?"
"I'm not thinking anything. Why are you so defensive?" The other immediately denied.
"Our target is a man, Chad and I am here to get him, understand?"

"Yeah, yeah." Devius giggled.
Cameron just shook his head and went back to what they're doing earlier. He doesn't even know why he is explaining like he had to clarify something. Thirty minutes had passed but still nothing else happened. Like Detective Lee said, Officer Chad kept his eyes at the suspicious man. He was still looking around as if searching for someone and he seems to be preparing for any kind of attack. He tried his best to do his task carefully and as unseen as he can. When the suspicious guy finally stood up and went out the door, that's the cue that they're waiting for.
Devius turned to Detective Lee. "Cai, he went out. I think he's going to meet someone." He reported.
"Okay, let's go." Cameron stood up and they followed the guy.
Both men walked out of the bar but when they finally got out, there was no one there. Officer Chad and Detective Lee glanced at each other. Officer Chad nodded as if he already understand what the other was thinking. They went on a different direction to search for the man, not letting their guards down just in case they were attack.
Detective Lee went to search around the bar while Officer Chad went to the direction of the parking lot. Cameron was holding his gun, getting ready for something unexpected to happen. The surroundings of the area isn't that massive. There's a forest behind the bar but a wire is acting as a separator from the forest to the bar. There were also some bench and trees inside the perimeter.
On the other hand, Officer Chad was just simply walking around the parking lot and searching around, still not letting his guards down. The area was a bit dark because the only thing producing light for the whole place was the dim bulb. Everything was silent. Devius went to search on the hidden corners but didn't find anything.
When Detective Lee didn't find the man, he went to get an update from Officer Chad. He tried calling him first but he didn't receive an answer. That's because Devius put his phone in silent mode earlier so that he couldn't be disturbed. Cameron just shook his head and started heading to the parking lot but when was already at the entrance, he felt something cold being aimed at the back of his head. Even if he couldn't see it, he already knew that it's a gun.
"Don't move." The person aiming the gun ordered. "Why are you following me?"
"Who are you?" Detective Lee asked the person from behind.
"It's not important, walk." The man commanded.
"Just be alert, I'll take every opportunity to get the situation reversed." Detective Lee warned.
"I'll remember that, now walk!" The man pushed him forward.
Cameron has no choice but to walked as the man from behind remained aiming the gun at his head. When they got inside the parking lot, the man from behind took a step back. Just enough to maintain everything in that situation.
"Turn around." He ordered to which Detective Lee did.
When he saw the culprit who aimed the gun at him, he realized it was the same man inside the bar earlier. The gun was still aimed at his head. Cameron could see his hand shaking, he must not be someone who is use at aiming a gun to somebody. Or maybe he wasn't used of using a gun at all. If Detective Lee wants, he could easily take the gun from him but he doesn't want to be reckless. This guy must have someone around.
"You came here with that officer for me, didn't you?" The guy asked.
Detective Lee just looked at him bluntly. "Yes. Now, if you're not going to kill me then answer my question." He responded.
"Aren't you afraid that I might actually pull the trigger and kill you?" The guy smirked.
Detective Lee smirked back. "If your purpose is to kill me, I wouldn't be standing here this long. You should have shot me the moment you saw me at the entrance." He stated.
"You're wrong, I just wanted you to face me as I kill you." The guy was about to pull the trigger but Detective Lee was faster and he managed to take the gun away from the man.
He aimed it back. "How is that, I'm in control of the trigger now?" Detective Lee smirked.
He really thought the man would not dare to pull the trigger but it's as if someone was ordering him what to do. His hands are still trembling but he seemed so confident that his safety isn't at risk.
The man did not seem to be frightened at all. "Don't be overconfident, detective. You only have two eyes, you don't have one at your back." He meaningfully said.
Cameron was unaware that there was another man around who was ready to shoot him. Although he knows someone was out there, he couldn't figure out exactly where. Fortunately Officer Chad was on the parking lot and he heard the footsteps. Devius isn't aware that his partner was at the parking lot too. After roaming around for quite some time, he saw a man from a corner. He couldn't see him completely but he has this feeling that this guy will not do any good. He took his gun out when he saw that the guy aimed his gun somewhere. When Devius followed the direction of where he was aiming, his head almost dropped because he's getting ready to fire the gun in the direction of his partner. Cameron was aiming a gun at the guy from the inside the bar and he was completely unaware of the coming danger. With that, Devius didn't think twice and he inadvertently ran towards Detective Lee to protect and shield him. He couldn't think of anything, he just wanted to make sure that his senior will not get hurt.
