Training for self defense

Alex arrived at the Villa, and Tim is already waiting for him outside the house.

The securities were notified for Alex's arrival, so, they let him in as soon as he arrived.

Alex stopped his motorbike in the garage.

He gets down of his motorbike and walks towards Tim.

"Welcome, thank you for coming and giving your cooperation, Alex," Tim said as soon as Alex approaches him.

Alex stopped in front of Tim and spoke, "I told you, I will do everything for Kira." He said.

Tim sighs, "Alright! If you say so," he said, "Let's get inside," Tim leads the way.

The two of them get inside the house, Leonard and Kira get up from their seats as she saw Tim and Alex entered the house.

"Alex, thank you for making a time of coming here," Kira said.

Alex revealed a smile as he looked at Kira, "I always have time if it's for you," He said.

Tim saw how Alex smiled at Kira, "Ehem!" He pretended to clear his throat to distract him.

He walks in front of Alex and purposely blocked Kira with his body (so that Alex won't see Kira), "Alex I'd like to introduce to you, Leonard, he is a private Detective," Tim introduces Leonard to Alex.

Tim tilted his head to Leonard, "Leonard, this is Alex, he was the one who was at the crime scene at that time." He said.

Alex and Leonard shook their hands.

"It's good to see you," Leonard said.

"Thank you," Alex said.

"Shall we begin?" Leonard asked Alex when they let go of each other's hand.

"Sure!" Alex replied.

"Let's have a seat then, " Tim said.

The four of them seats on the couch, Tim pulled Kira closer to him as he throws a meaningful look to Alex as if saying, 'This woman is mine!'

Leonard picked up his pencil and sketch pad and he looks at Alex, "You were at the crime scene at that time, right?" he asked.

"Yes," Alex replied instantly.

"Have you seen the culprit's face?" Leonard asked again.

"Yes," Alex replied again.

"Could you remember how he looked like?"

Alex went silent for a moment and tried to think of the man's face.

When he grabbed him away from Kira, that's when his face mask was removed and he saw his face when he beat him.

Alex looked back to Leonard and said, "Yes!"

"That's good then, now, I want you to describe him base on what you remember," Leonard said.

"Enn..." Alex nodded his head.

"The man looked like he is in his early thirties, he has short but wavy hair, a foxy eye, and a garlic shaped nose..."

Alex continued to describe the man while Leonard continues doing the sketch.

Leonard looked at the sketch on his hand, and then he turned it to Alex's direction, "Does this look exactly like him?" He asked as he showed the sketch to Alex.

Alex stared at the sketch and then he nodded his head lightly, "Yes, that's him." he said.

"I will try to take a look at the criminal records if this man got involved in any crime," Leonard said.

"This is all for today, Mr. Tan, I will just call you if I already gathered the information about this man," Leonard said as he gets up.

Tim nodded his head and he gets up from his seat, "Thank you, Leonard, I hope that you can gather information as soon as possible." He said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tan, I am good at digging on people's tiniest information," Leonard said confidently.

"I'll head first, " He added and then he walks out of the house.

Alex got up from his seat too.

"I have to go too, " he said.

"No problem," Tim was the first one to reply.

Kira throws Tim a meaningful look.

Tim just sighs, "Why won't you stay for lunch, instead?" he asked.

"As a thank you for helping us." He added.

"There's no need to thank me, Mr. Tan, I just did it for Kira's sake, this is my way of protecting her."

Tim took a deep breath, he is getting annoyed by this man, does he need to repeat it all the time?

"I can't stay for lunch, I need to do some important things," Alex said.

"That's good then---" Tim froze when he felt Kira's pinch in his back.

He turned his head to her with his puzzled look as if asking, 'Why?'

Kira revealed a forced smile to Tim, she was just trying to stop him from being mean to Alex.

Tim seemed like he understand what Kira wants to say.

"Ehem!" he pretended to clear his throat, "I mean, we will see you off," He said.

-------

Tim and Kira watched as Alex has gone farther and farther until he is out of sight.

Just then, Kira faced Tim, "Hey, why are you treating him like that?" she complained.

Tim looked at Kira with his innocent expression, "Treat him, like what?" He asked innocently.

Kira just sighs, "Okay, I know why you're acting like that."

"Like you couldn't wait until he left, it is because you are jealous of him, but Tim..." Kira paused for a moment.

"I already told you that you don't have to be jealous of him." She added.

"I can't help it," Tim replied.

"Why?" Kira asked.

"I got jealous because I know he was your first love," Tim reasoned.

Kira took a deep breath and then she touched Tim's face, "He was." She said.

"Was!" She repeated.

"It means, past... My feelings for him were just in the past," Kira continued.

"He was my first love, but you are my present and future love," Kira added.

"Really?" Tim asked.

He was touched by Kira's word.

"Uhuh!" Kira nodded.

Tim embraces Kira, 'Would you still do the same if you find out about something?' he asked secretly.

-------

Tan Corporation.

"May I speak to Mr. Tan?" Mr. Fuente asked Coby.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fuente, but Mr. Tan is not in his office right now," Coby replied.

"Why?" Mr. Fuente is interested, he doesn't really have an important thing to say to Tim, he just wants to get some information if how he's doing.

He thought that Tim would go furious because of those photos.
