A sharp verbal spat attracted the group's attention. A small breed Arachne girl was having a heated argument with a man.

"Sir, I can't let this slide. Not only you insulted me by calling me loli but also my whole species. We're petite or Small Breed Arachne." The girl was quite furious.

"Whatever, all you eight legged freaks are nothing but bundles of issues. Why you can't be more like docile Bunnies or you know Kobolds?" the Man was smirking shamelessly.

Pretty soon a small crowd gathered around the two and people started passing random comments to excite the du instead of resolving the issue.

Rebeka and Robert couldn't ignore it anymore, Rebeka grabbed the man's collar and gave him a death glare, the man was frightened beyond doubt and almost shat his pants.

The man was thrown away by her, then she and Robert went in to console the sobbing Arachne.

"Ah, it's ok. It's alright, now, he won't be bothering you, anymore." Rebeka patted the head of the little arachne. Suddenly a high itch cry from one of her students attracted her attention. The Man pulled out a Box-cutter knife and has taken Alaina hostage.

"You dumb jerks, You thought You could beat me up with no consequences, huh now get naked you damn sexy bitch I wanna see your panties." The man threatened Rebeka and signed her to strip.

Robert was feeling like pulling out his personal gun and empty the whole magazine into this jerk, but then it would be a stupid move and it'll both blow his cover and endanger Alaina.

But Rebeka was in no mood to relent, she inched towards the man. The Man started hurling abuses to her but she kept on moving. Robert could only see Rebeka's back but he was sure that she's saying something to that man. Suddenly the complexion of the Man changed, it looked as if the blood from his face is drained . He looked utterly terrified, suddenly an Orange Blur went past the Hellhound, with a swift move Chief Hannah, took away Alaina from the culprit's arm and kicked the man in his groin. The man buckled down in pain and soon was arrested and handcuffed by Maria.

Hannah directly looked Rebeka in the eye, "Thank you, Ms. Rebeka. If it wasn't your distraction then I wouldn't have saved the poor girl so easily."

Rebeka replied calmly, "She's my student. How can I let anyone play with her life? Look due to this ordeal the poor girl even lost her consciousness."

Hannah strode towards Robert and handed him, Alaina.

"You know Ms. Rebeka, had I kept him under my one-eye, the thing would never have occurred in the first place." To any bystander it might seem that Hannah was lamenting but Robert knew it was something more than that, the emphasis on the word one seemed anything but normal.

"You know, I can go to great lengths to protect the ones I love. Your one-eye doesn't make any difference to that." Rebeka replied.

"True enough, I know that. But what are those magical words that you have used? The Culprit looked utterly terrified of you, maybe it was good that the girl wasn't awake at that time." Hannah replied.

"Still, why did you wait till I made the first move? You could have acted earlier or at least give me a sign before rushing in? What if the man had cut Alaina?" Rebeka retorted.

Robert didn't feel like interfering , infact this verbal battle was an eye opener for him, "Both of them are equally caustic .It's like that I won't be able to zero in on anyone."

Ultimately the culprit was taken away to the nearest Police station, Hannah also left the premises. She didn't even bother to acknowledge the presence of Robert.

Another anomaly Robert did spot in Rebeka's behaviour, when Hannah was getting out Rebeka was glaring at her while clutching something which was in her jeans' pocket.

The whole episode left him awestruck, he almost forgot about the unconscious bunny girl in his lap. Rebeka almost snatched the girl from him and tried various methods to wake him up. Ultimately the girl woke, the face revealed that she was very scared. The reassuring hug from the Hellhound calmed the girl. Robert saw a little teardrop forming on the right eye of Rebeka.

"What the hell did she say to that man? He was as scared as a leaf. I'm pretty sure that by now the Chief Hannah is already interrogating that man about the conversation." Robert felt bemused.

(In the Local P.S)

"Ma'm, you just can't barge in like that. It's a police station." The male policeman tried to stop the intruding Jinko with all his might.

Hannah simply flashed her badge and moved him out of her way. She directly went towards the desk of the Officer in charge.

"Oh, Chief Hannah from the Investigation Bureau, How can I help you?" the Officer in charge asked her.

"The miscreant whom You have apprehended in the Science Museum, I want to ask him something. Is that ok?" Hannah asked the man.

"No issues, that's ok with me. Just don't rough him up." The man obliged to her request.

The miscreant was brought in, he looked quite devastated. After seeing Hannah he started trembling in fear.

"I won't hurt you if you answer my questions truthfully." The Jinko asked him authoritatively.

"Ok….." he somehow blurted.

Hannah looked towards the Officer in charge, he got her point. "It's ok, you can interrogate him as much as you like. I will be in the outer chamber then." The Officer left after replying.

The man was sweating profusely and Hannah could almost hear the gritting of his teeth.

"So, what did the Hellhound say to you?" Hannah asked him.

"She… was like a d….demon. She…w.. was urging me to s…stab the kid, then she even said that she would do…do it herself if I had to…..told her to do so." The man was again trembling in fear.

"Officer, I'm done" Hannah called the Officer who promptly came in afterwards. Hannah thanked him for the cooperation and went out of the police station.

"Using Reverse psychology in that sort of a delicate situation, it's so like her." She muttered to herself.

(Robert's tale)

It was noon and the group soon felt that it was the time to have lunch. The two adults along with six kids went into the nearest fast-food joint. The group ordered low fat lunch meals.

Robert couldn't enjoy the delicate chicken Kebab because his mind was still processing the events of the morning.

"Looks like, Ms. Hannah and Rebeka know each other very well. Still why they were at each other's throats? It doesn't add up. Why the hell chief Hannah was so emphasising on One-Eye and Rebeka was painting her as an irresponsible person. Truth to be told it was their combined effort which averted the danger. But they behaved like two little school-girls who were quarrelling over their seating arrangements. They are so matured persons yet behaving childishly. Maybe the resentment is so caustic that they don't bother about themselves behaving like kids. Another point, what did Rebeka say to the man that caused him to shake like a leaf? Why the chief was here in the first place?"

"Rob? Rob are you listening?" Rebeka's call dragged him out of his thought.

"Oh..I'm sorry. I just zoned out." Robert replied apologetically.

"No issues. I guess enough has happened on this trip and the kids are tired too. Maybe we can wrap it up with the visit to the Planetarium." The teacher suggested.

"Yes, that would be good for the little ones, hey guys what do say?" Robert asked the kids.

They replied in unison, "Yes, if you treat us with Ice-creams."

Both ,Robert and Rebeka bursted into laughter.

(The Same Evening)

Robert's mobile beeped again. It was again a message from Doppel, "Urgent, need to meet U, Tmrw Oxford 46/17;100/03, spread angle."

Robert knew that Doppel is texting while she's on her job, that's why the codes are used. He knew he just needed to look up Oxford English to English dictionary the numbers are just pagenumbers and serial number of the word in and spread angle is just 6 p.m. in the evening.

After consulting Oxford dictionary, Robert figured out it was Amity Bay Bar. Robert looked through the cupboard to get some clothing and make-up for the disguise. He'll have to take them with him to the office and then after getting out he would need to use a public toilet to apply disguise himself and then meet Dopel. That would be best for their mutual interest.

Robert went towards the Kitchen to make something for the dinner.

"Shoot, I've forgotten to buy Oil. Damn...now I've to eat out again. Shit that Mantis would be there, but compared to Miss. Hannah and Rebeka she seems very tame." Robert grumbled in frustration, "But it's okay if I crash to the usual place. That's the only restaurant where the kitchen can be directly seen from the lobby. So I'm very safe if I eat out from there." Robert assured himself.

(With Karen)

Karen was deeply immersed in thought, she didn't even notice that a customer had entered and taken a seat.

"Hey, Miss Waitress, can you take my order?" the woman asked her.

The woman was a beautiful elf wearing a business suit and spectacles. Karen thought that she(the Elf) was a beauty.

"Ma'm what would you like to order?" Karen asked the Elf.

"Anything good. Do you have any suggestion for me?" the Elf asked for Karen's opinion.

"Ma'm, our Grilled Bassa with Coriander sauce and Fried rice is often treated as the best." she replied.

"Ok, I'll take one." the Elf replied. Suddenly a flash of Lightening was seen and within a moment a deafening thunder strike was heard. "Damn, I should have taken Umbrella." the Elf muttered.

Robert rushed in with his umbrella and hurriedly took his seat. (from where he can see the whole kitchen)

"Such a nasty weather, it's really deplorable. Hey, Karen please take my order." Robert signalled Karen to take his order.

Karen came at once and took his order, by this time Three Men rushed into the cafe. They all looked to be Professionals, everyone had his laptop bag on him.

"Oh, that wretched Mr. Mattias, just keeps pushing work on us. Even when we're eating we've to work on the code." one man groaned.

"You're right, Jonas. I'll order up. You just start my damn laptop." the more matured man gestured Karen with his hand.

Karen took the order and promptly went into the kitchen. After coming out she handed the man a surge protector. The man named Jonas promptly plugged in the Laptop and switched on the surge protector. Instantly a a wizzing sound was heard and the whole cafe plunged into darkness.

"It must have tripped, don't worry I'll get my cell, it has in-built torch. " Karen announced to tone down the panic of the customers and lightened up her torch and strode towards the mains. Suddenly a male voice cried "Ouch, shit stupid bee."

Then within mere moments there was a cry as if someone was strangled, then a heavy thud was heard, just after that Karen somehow managed to switch it back and the Cafe was lightened up once again.

The mature looking man lay dead, his face has become squeezed and contorted, his eyes almost came out of the socket. the cook who were worried due to the commotion lost her senses. Karen could only remark, "What the hell?"

Suddenly Karen cried out., "Hey, You Elf lady, are you trying to flee?" the Elf lady was standing with her back on the door.

"Silly girl. I was just making sure that nobody can escape." The Elf lady looked a bit interested in the matter. Robert cried out, "Somebody call the police." A deafening thunder muted his words.
