SD pulled over in front of a shabby roadside restaurant. It was late at night and there were very few patrons at that time. The restaurant was located in a desolate part of the street market where people did not frequent much. Calling it a restaurant would be far fetched since it was more of a shack made of thick bamboo tied together. The roof was covered with a tin while at the entrance was a long curtain instead of a door.

Sunye immediately recognized the restaurant. It was the same place where SD asked her to meet a year ago when she was working on her brother's case and asked her for two favors. The first one was fulfilled but the second one was still due.

What's he gonna ask of me? She wondered. 

"Wait here," SD said and got out of the car to walk towards the back. He rummaged inside the trunk for a while before reappearing. He knocked on her window.
