My privacy is gone

Hans District Police Station…

''Detective Sandas, how did it go?'' Chief Johnson asked when Avery entered.

''Not so well, but I am not giving up so easily.'' Avery replied and sat down.

''That's the spirit. You do know that your promotion depends on this, right? I already told the Assemblyman about you. He said that once this case gets settled, he would like to have dinner with you.'' Chief Johnson said and Avery smiled.

''That will be an honor, Chief.'' Avery giggled.

''Yes, so you have to do a good job!''

''I will do that.'' Avery stood up and saluted the chief.

''There is another thing. Have you heard of the recent raiding at the CEO of Filio Finances' home?'' Chief Johnson asked.

''Yes, I heard it over the news this morning.'' Avery looked at her computer as she replied.

''Well, we have a suspect. But I want you to go and check the crime scene first. There is also a video…''

''Chief, isn't that supposed to be for the Financial Crimes department?'' Avery looked up with a tired gaze.

''It was supposed to be, but a video was uploaded into the internet a while ago while you were out. In the video, the suspect mentioned your name and that of Prosecutor Oak from the Prosecutors' office.''

''What?'' Avery took out her phone and logged on to the internet.

Same time at the Prosecutor's office.

''Kai, check the internet right now!'' Mr. Jun rushed into the office saying.

''What do you mean?''

''It's the woman again. She apparently uploaded an audio name dropping you and Detective Sandas.''

''What?'' Kai took his phone. After logging in he played the audio.

''Hi, everyone. You must be looking for me, right? Well, I cannot wait to be arrested too but before that. I have something to tell Prosecutor Oak and Detective Sandas. Those two hardly visit the internet but I hope someone alerts them to this information. Avery, Kai, hi…''

''You two have 30 hours to find me if not I will be releasing a video about the Prime Minister. That man isn't human, let me tell you all. He is a beast. Avery, don't you want answers to the reason why the orphanage caught fire and all of you were sent away? I believe the orphanage land is where the Minister has built his gallery, right? Prosecutor Oak, aren't you curious about the death of your ex-girlfriend? She died trying to stop the Construction of the Gallery. Aye, there are a lot to talk about but I will leave that to you when you are able to catch me. Until then… bye''

''The whole Prosecution office is crazy right now…'' Mr. Jun spoke.

Kai's landline started ringing and he answered it, 'hello. I will be there.'' Kai hung up and said to Mr. Jun, ''Mr. Jun, the Chief Prosecutor is looking for me.''

''This is not going to turn out right.'' Mr. Jun muttered.

''I will be fine, don't worry.'' Kai said and stood up.

….

''Lunatic! How can this… I don't even know her, Chief…'' Avery said in the office. A lot of the officers were standing outside watching.

''Avery, whether you know her or not, you have to be a part of this case. So, I suggest you close the one you are on quickly and proceed with this. As you heard, you have 30 hours to find her.''

''That crazy woman. She even dared to use my favorite number. How does she even know me?'' Avery closed her eyes and sighed.

''Avery, this case I hope you know how serious it is? One wrong move and you will be screwed over for life. The whole nation is on to this case. The mystery woman mentioned a lot of important names. The Prime Minister is not to be messed with.''

''I don't understand. Why did this lunatic even name drop me? It's not like I asked her to go and steal?'' Avery cussed as she walked out of the office.

….

At the Prosecutors' office.

''Chief, I understand. I will do my best to get to the bottom of this. If she boldly made those accusations, then it means she has the evidence to back it up. I will find her and bring her in before anyone else'' Kai said confidently.

''Kai, this is a serious case. A lot of things might happen. I know you are a righteous Prosecutor who is on the side of justice. But the Minister is also interested in this case. To be accurate, he wants this lady found and silenced. You will not be the only one looking for her, but I believe since she wants you to find her, she will definitely leave clues. You have to find her if we want to get the Minister out before the Commissioner gives another directive.'' The Chief Prosecutor said after sipping his tea.

''I understand, Chief. Don't worry, no one will be able to get to her before me.'' Kai bit his lips.

''Have you heard from that Detective? I heard some things about her. She seems to be a pawn for the higher ups at her department. You need to be careful with her. I don't know why the suspect named her, but I am guessing she has a major role to play in all of this. The orphanage that caught fire, she seems to be from there.''

''I will look into it and make a decision. I will get someone to tail her for a while. In case, the suspect decides to go to her first.''

''Alright! How are things going with that case involving the nephew of the Assemblyman?''

''It's going on well. The lady has agreed to take it to trial.''

''Go, you can leave now.''

''Alright'' Kai stood up and left the office.

….

''Avery, give the case to me and I will help you catch the suspect.'' Gid said to Avery when she came out of the Chief's office.

''Can you let me rest for a while? Why are you disturbing me?'' Avery asked and went to her desk.

''She said clearly that she was seeking justice for you. Don't you think that puts you in a more dangerous situation than before? Now even the Minister's eyes will be on you.'' Gid followed Avery to her desk.

''Right, the Minister's eyes will be on me. My privacy is gone.'' Avery yelled.

''Privacy? Is that what you are worried about right now?'' Gid asked. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

''Yes. I am worried about my privacy. I can't even freely take a dump without someone hiding somwhere looking for me. Do you know how hard that is going to be? Just because some lunatic somewhere is trying to mess with me. I should just find her and beat the hell out of her.'' Avery opened her bottle of water to drink after speaking.

''Detective Sandas, right?'' A manly voice asked at the door and everyone turned to look at him.
