Karsen was in the hospital. He got the information, rushed out of his office to look for Aaron and Aarvi and confirm they were safe. He found them in the corridor. Aarvi was busy over a call going towards Aaron's office, the shadow team checking on floor security, and Aaron speaking with the hospital security.

Karsen breathed in relief. Now, they have to confirm if those were the Evans family nemesis or Leon's one of many aids.

He held Aarvi's shoulder when she didn't notice him, "Relax, Aarvi."

Aarvi realized she was breathing less and instructing her team. She had turned cold due to an emergency. She breathed slowly and hung up the call. "I am sorry, Dad. I thought…" She sighed. She expected everything to be calm once Leon entered the prison. That was her stupidity. "Grandmother is coming, I feel I am putting everyone in danger." She least wanted anybody to be hurt but Leon.

Karsen rubbed her head. "Silly girl. It wasn't your fault." He glanced at Aaron rushing towards them, "Stay on the floor until everything comes under control."

Aarvi nodded and turned to Aaron. The latter breathed seeing her calm. "They fired at Roach…"

Aarvi's eyes widened without listening to him completely. Aaron continued, "with a fake bullet. Roach caught them." Single-handedly.

Astonished, Karsen and Aarvi looked at each other. The big man was too strong. He didn't care about the bullet fired at him. Aarvi turned back to Aaron. She tried to hide her curiosity and murmured, "I want to see." She meant she wants to see how Roach caught those men who were in the car.

She paused, 'Wait, fake bullet?' Why would anybody follow Aarvi and Aaron with a fake bullet? Weren't they scared of getting caught?

"Fake bullet!?" Karsen was the first to point that out. Even though a fake bullet doesn't enter the body, the force and speed could cause pain. Many faints due to the shock.

"What is a fake bullet?" Aarvi innocently asked, without knowing if Roach was hurt or not.

Aaron pointed towards the elevator and they went as he explained to her. "It's a shell. They look like bullets but they are empty inside. It can burn the skin but couldn't pierce through. It causes minor injury at close range."

Aarvi nodded in response. The trio fell into deep thought thinking about what could be the reason and who could be planning this. 

The four members of the Shadow team inconspicuously went through the whole hospital to find anybody suspicious. Alex stayed by the three. They entered a room that was being guarded by the Rivas security. The hospital was already back to its peace.

Aarvi involuntarily looked for the big man among men. She spotted Roach who stood as if he did nothing and nothing happened to him. There was no hair out of place.

Roach caught her eyes, she didn't react. He looked at Aaron. The latter's eyes brushed over the four men on the floor and stopped at Roach. Both stared at each other and Roach gave in. "I am perfectly fine, President Rivas… Doctor Rivas." He knew Aaron wanted to know because the woman next to him was worried.

A doctor from the ER department entered inside with a team. The doctors treat innocents and criminals. So the team voluntarily started treating those four men. The main doctor looked at Karsen and the couple. He asked without knowing who was hurt for him to present instead of a nurse or junior doctor, "Chairman Rivas, who else is hurt?

Roach: "..."

Karsen pointed at Roach. The latter obediently listened to the doctor when Aaron gave him an 'I dare you.' look. The fake bullet had faintly burned his skin on the chest.

"The aim is perfect, but the fake bullet attack doesn't make sense," Aarvi muttered when Karsen was busy with a police call.

Aaron watched the expression of the four frightened men who were between 25-35 years old. Those four looked confused seeing Roach all fine. So they didn't know the bullet was fake. He held Aarvi and led her out, "They don't seem to know anything. It's a waste of time."

Aarvi didn't retort. She started thinking about the possibilities of the actions. "Is somebody trying to warn us?"

Aaron glanced at her. It was possible. "This couldn't be Leon's plan." Leon would use real bullets over fake. And he couldn't be stupid enough to attack them when he was under interrogation for attacking Aarvi. This would again fall on his head.

"Ronron, they didn't actually attack us."

Aaron hummed. Those men had the chance to attack them but they didn't. They were pretending to be following and attacking them. They used the bullet to escape when Roach tried to catch them. "Somebody is trying to provoke us… YOU against Leon."

Aarvi had a similar estimation. She looked at Aaron and nodded in acceptance. However, they couldn't just assume their speculation and be quiet.

In the office room,

Sitting on the couch, Aarvi watched Roach's actions. Roach was agile. He leaped down the tall wall fence and aimed at the wheel of the car. The car came to an abrupt stop. Seeing the handgun in Roach's hand, the man inside the car fired at Roach without knowing it was fake.

Roach didn't even flinch when the bullet hit him. He ran towards the car while the public screamed and ran away. The man on the shotgun seat was so shocked by Roach's unaffected movements that he forgot to escape. 

Roach caught the man who got off from the back seat of the car and attacked him to fight. Roach thrashed that man to the car in a single move. He didn't even take another glance and chased the other man from the passenger seat. 

While running he grabbed somebody's helmet, climbed over a car, and aimed it at the driver who was far ahead. Roach leaped and caught the second man and shoved him against the big cement plant pot that was on the road divider. The helmet hit the head of the driver so he was dizzy and Roach caught him too.

Aarvi watched the video thrice. Even though the video wasn't clear and in fragments of different cameras, she could feel Roach was totally different when he was attacking. It was as if they took away something precious and he wanted to kill them. He didn't do it as his job but as his obligation, a responsibility.

Aaron noticed her silence for so long. He went to the couch and turned off the video. "What's wrong?" He tried to be her emotional support if needed.

"Did Captain Roach lose his family?" Aarvi asked leaning towards him. Roach always stayed around them. Never once went anywhere. 

Aaron's expression hardened hearing the question. Roach was suggested by his maternal uncle Louis. Jordan appointed him for Aaron's safety as Aarvi was found in a brutal state and she might have some enemies. "Leon annihilated his whole family in a fire." He didn't forget to append, "Six years ago." He didn't want her to think it was because of her and Leon's grudges.

Aarvi felt a lump in her throat. She always thought Roach dislikes Leon because a captain in limitary, he couldn't punish Leon for his illegal activities. "Why?" Her low voice barely sounded.

Aaron removed her heels and laid her on the couch with her head on his lap. Throwing the knitted lightweight blanket over her, he told her how much he knew, "He had parents, a younger brother, a wife who was pregnant. His younger brother was working at Harmon Industries as a manager. He had a fiancee."

Aarvi gritted her teeth. She could already guess what was coming next. She didn't interrupt and Aaron continued about Roach's younger brother, "Leon's eyes laid on that girl when she was at the company to pick Roach's brother up. After two days, she suicides in her apartment, dropping a message that Leon violated her and she couldn't live with it."

Aarvi curled up hearing him.. How many families and girls dissolved due to Leon's lust? Aarvi shivered and clutched Aaron's hand tight when she recalled, she almost became one of them.
