It's telling the truth.

Elena sat in the conference room, with injured James and Noah, while the chief stood there glaring at her. Sasha and Simon were missing, helping out victims to reach the hospital.

"You know what you did Elena, you killed the prime suspect of this case, who could have helped us and as well as his two men." Chief spat.

"He tried to kill James, I had to take action! And they tried to run away and I had permission to shoot at sight!" Elena waves it off like she just didn't take three lives.

Then the chief had to raise his voice at her reckless and careless attitude. "Don't I know you, Elena, there must be another way."

"I couldn't see anything, in that situation I needed to take action." Now Elena couldn't stop herself from matching his tone. James and Noah look back and forth between those.

"Look at his arm!" Elena pointed out James's right arm which protectively wrapped around the white bangs. "If I didn't push him back and shot William he would have lost his life!"

Chief sighed, taking a glance at James. "You guys got everything under control, you might have found another way."

And that made Elena stand up from her chair and bang her hands on the table. "You know what if I hadn't killed him, then the next day someone would have come and thrown money at our system and our very own system free them next second, and just to mock on our face they would have done that another way.

I didn't put my life there just to let them go without any justice, they almost raped a 13-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl. If we have not reached there on time don't know how many of them might have been killed and get raped every single day.

And if that's what you want then I won't be taking these cases from now on, give me those homesick cases."

James cleared his throat, taking a step between heated conversion. Carefully, he said. "You all can ignore it, but we all know how weak our system is. Elana is right, they have done it either way but on a bigger scale."

Noah nodded, sipping his orange juice. Enjoying the show before him. "I agree too!"

All three of them turn to glare at him, he gave a scared expression.

"What?"

Fed up with this already done conversation, Elena grabbed her coat and left the room. Following Elena, James and Noah find their way out as well. Chief sighed at the defect.

James hisses watching Elena exhale the smoke. "You cost my arm to get us out of this situation, huh?"

Elena smirked.

Flashback.

The atmosphere turned silent as everyone watched the person dead who was talking non-stop just a few seconds ago, with the hole in his head.
