Hwasa was waiting for her boss outside his room on the eighth floor, softly knocking on his door.

Five minutes past.

The door was still closed.

"...Maybe he is taking a shower?..." Hwasa murmured and typed in the message on Harish's phone to let him know that the car was ready.

Taehyung crossed her near the corridor and smiled with his 'good morning' wish.

"...good morning?!...what's up with you?...did you perhaps miss your caffeine dosage, hm?...Taetae!!"

Her sassy reply only made Taehyung chuckle mockingly and answer "...yup...just about to get it...want some?..."

Hwasa shaked her head as a no and watched him jog towards the canteen area.

"...hope he is not dead?!!...and still inside the room..." her question made Taehyung halt in his step and look back at her smirking smile.

"...no killing the boss...remember?!!" Hwasa reminded him to which Taehyung traced her questionable face and bit his lower lips.

He strayed his eyes with "...no worries...I don't forget my orders..." and donned his sunglasses, taking the fear emerge out of Hwasa of a possible treachery from the comrade.

"...Hwasa?...lets go..." his voice made Hwasa relax and saw that Taehyung was still teasing her with his wide smile. 

Scrolling through his phone seriously, Harish crossed the comrades and went to take his breakfast to move for the last trip around the city.

"...you still miss him...don't you?!!" with the teasing words Taehyung grinned and moved out of her aura before he would be clobbered by her, for mentioning her ex – Hobi.

After reaching the spot being sent by Sara, Harish waited for her with Hwasa resting her back on the car door.

"..." Sara breathed heavily with being late again by 3 minutes and fearing for getting the scolding from her boss. 

But Harish gave a slight nod and walked ahead, making Sara follow him to their last round of the tourist attraction.

Hwasa was told to wait for them near the car with Taehyung gone for the tattoo artist in the city to know about the person having that particular tattoo.

Taehyung had already given the info about Rita aka Sara being out of the suspicion as being born and bought up in Paris itself with only her sister and farmer brother-in-law.

Harish, however told him to dig a little deeper into the info alongwith the other girl's info that Taehyung had gathered.

Better safe than sorry.

Pompidou Center (Centre Pompidou)

"...Ina city filled with traditional architecture, Pompidou Center's edgydesign featuring exterior walls of brightly colored tubes and exposedmechanical systems brought howls of derision when it first opened. Half acentury later, the building's design by architects Renzo Piano and RichardRogers still stands out in the cityscape..."

Sara was gaily explaining the city wonder with the slight wave of her hands and trying to make it more interesting on the last day of her job.

She so needed the money for her tripod stand and thought to not let this opportunity go out of her hand.

Maybe if she is able to impress her boss the last day, he would be kind enough to pay her some bucks extra for her dedication.

As Harish picked the call from Taehyung to get the info, Sara was smiling widely while explaining the interior artworks that was worth seeing.

Harish's eyes widened with the info and he didn't think much, running to his car to reach the location sent by Taehyung.

"...so, Sir...shall we proce...Sir?!!" as she glanced back, Sara saw Harish running desperately towards the car parking.

Her mind got boggled with running behind him to get her answers.

But before she could hold of him, Harish had vanished in his fast car.

"...What the...?!" a perplexed Sara was holding her hips and breathing heavily at not understanding the scenario.

She immediately tried to dial Harish's number to understand the sudden dispersal from the sight-seeing session.

But it was going on voicemail, she tsked and thought to call him after sometime.

Having no ends to her thoughts, Sara went back to the office to arrange the evidences of the Macintosh case finale.

The case would get a hearing next week in the court, with the line of proofs that the detectives had collected.

Macintosh Mansion

Robert was crumbling the file in his hands, as he heard the news of the case filed against him for the suspect of attempted murder on Ruth – his step sister.

Robert was adopted when the Macintosh parents had given up on becoming parents for almost five years. But with the presence of their adopted son, the parents were later on blessed with a daughter and son.

Robert had grown with much pamper and love by the family members, with the luxury being given in his lap from the time he had entered the grandeur family heritage.

So, when he grew into an adult he was afraid of his ill knowledge parents to give off the wealth to his useless step siblings. His encouragement came from his loyal girlfriend Fatima who helped him immensely from the time they had met in Harvard as classmates to lovers.

So, when he needed the help of vanquish the last descendant of the Macintosh family, Fatima helped him to accomplish the same with the first kill in the form of Ruth.

But before they could attempt to murder Robin, the damn Detectives and lawyers had posted their people in and around the mansion.

Fatima had to go in hiding after Abhishek had run to get the evidences and nab the accomplices from Robert's hideout in the forest.

"...get the girl...and wait for my orders..." he then kept the call to gain momentum of his last resort – threats by hurting their weak link, the beautiful lady lawyer Sara.

In the evening

Hotel Passione

Harish was trying to call Hardik on the news that he got of Hemant's sudden ill health, tensing him a lot.

He had to go home asap upon hearing the reason for Hemant's sudden low bp, which could be the result of the face-to-face talk with the detective Arjun.

In addition, Naina also told him that Hemant had a minor case of diabetes which he had been diagnosed by their family doctor on his regular family health month.

"...ok..." Harish kept the call with her and informed Taehyung to book his flight back home in the earliest flight as possible.

"...Tae...I will have an early dinner and then we can discuss our next arrival here...ok..." saying so Harish went for his early dinner to pacify his low sugar.

At the hotel restaurant.

Hwasa was quietly messaging Namjoon on the recent change of plan by the boss to revise their strategy.

Taehyung was conversing with the flight people to arrange for the jet to Mumbai. He got the early jet of 1 am to Mumbai for his boss.

Ping!

Ping!

His brows crease when he got the info about an Indian girl of Mexican maternal descent. Taehyung rushed to Harish who was having his light meal before the flight next day morning.

"...hm...I think we can leave it for our next visit..." Harish didn't have the time to go on his lost trial of his Pia. His father needed him now.

It was past midnight when he would board his flight, Hwasa would return to Busan as her work on bringing the double agent Hobi home was still on process.

Taehyung would accompany his boss to Mumbai with the exception of calling in his close comrade to help him out with the Nithya chase case.

With Hobi out of the case for his re-approval with the CIA, Suga thought to confirm with Abhishek on how was the deal progressing with the diamond merchant in India.

Paris

Naik Villa

Abhishek smirked as he missed his opportunity to face the Indian billionaire on his brief visit to the city. But Suga confirmed that he had kept it a secret as he knew that Abhishek would not think twice to cobbler the man on his failure to save his love from the fire.

"...Abhishek trust me!!...we will get him next time...for now, we know that our plan will work...as you had dealt with the diamond merchant...we can easily track Nived...and finally lay our hands on Nithya...please for now...have a little more patience..." as Suga pleaded the man, Abhishek sided his face rubbing his chin and clicked with nodding his head.

"...and one more thing...we have also got the news on how your sister was killed..." as Suga spelled those words, Abhishek jolted his head onto the computer screen.

"...who?!!"

"...it was Nived...he wanted to kill Harish...but didn't expect your sister to land in the office...hence...I am sorry..." Suga knew that Abhishek loved his sister who did have a crush on Harish as notified by her.

But he would from time to time, advise her to stop her unworthy trial on the billionaire. He had gotten the news of Yogita being thrown out of Harish's office the day before her death.

It did sadden him that his sister had fallen prey to the killers attempt to vanquish the lovers.

"...Suga...I need to meet him...asap...for her sake..." Abhishek's request only made the agent contemplate on how this would be possible, with Harish having no idea about Abhishek keeping a sharp vigil on him.

"...Abhishek?!!...I hope you know what you are asking me to do?!!...it's not possible...I for one cant do it!!...Namjoon has no idea about me helping you!!...the day he does?!!...I am going to lose my job!!...so yeah!!...no way!!..." Suga got the chills on losing the job that he had fought for so long.

No way he would jeopardise it for the sake of a case!

"...look!!...I am not asking you to make it a face-to-face convo!!...I just need to let him know that I am not the bad guy...and that...I have his love with me...hidden...safe...please?!!...one call!!" Abhishek pleaded him with his remorseful eyes, kind of melting the agent who tsked.

But Suga knew the heartbreak was long enough for the lovers. At least Abhishek would somewhat pacify the heartbroken Harish about his love being protected and under the most safest haven.

"...Fine!...this Saturday...IST 10 am...don't be late!!...or lose your chance!!..." saying so Suga cut the call and flicked the pen over the desk.

"...jenjang!!...igeol namjun-ihante eotteohge seolmyeonghaeya haji?!!" with rubbing his lips, Suga grumbled on the way things were not going in the direction he wanted it to be.

(*"...jenjang!!...igeol namjun-ihante eotteohge seolmyeonghaeya haji?!!" - "...dammit!!...how will I explain this to Namjoon?!!" in Korean language)

"...got you!...*laughs*..." Abhishek laughed heartily on finally able to meet the billionaire, even if it was through phone. He would be able to convey that they were on the same track – Harish searching for Pia and him searching for Nithya.

Abhishek was smart enough to let the game happen in his favour. He knew that Harish was pretty close in finding Nithya than him, as Namjoon and his teams were working full time to find the hidden Nithya, even from overseas.

But Abhishek was stuck with Suga and his loyal followers of Jimin and Seokjin who were hidden but were giving time to time details.

As for Hobi. Well, he was only working for money. Both Namjoon or Suga didn't count for Hobi. Until Hwasa came along to bring Hobi too in their Namjoon troupe, Abhishek was left with only fewer men to help him out.
