Chapter: 05

Daniel is well and alive as he manages to escape the paddy field that he was trapped in. However, he is still nowhere to be seen and Olivia’s attempts to find him are futile. The CEO nor his lawyer allow Olivia to meet with Claire as she still needs time to recover from the incident. The CEO’s lawyer adds that Daniel must still be continuing with his solo investigation which is why he hasn’t returned yet.

Just like with Claire’s case, Daniel also conducted an investigation when he was a sergeant in the military which eventually lead to his dismissal. The CEO’s currently lawyer used to represent him during his court case and that’s how the two came to knowing each other. Five years later and the lawyer notes that Daniel hasn’t changed one bit. He probably took on Claire’s case, because he felt the need to also find Cairo and Aria along with Claire.

When asked why Olivia is adamant on finding Daniel, Olivia answers that Daniel had made a promise with her during their first meeting. Though Olivia doesn’t reveal the promise to the lawyer, she recalls the conversation she had with Daniel during their meeting where she expressed interest in working with him. Olivia wants Daniel to help her find the person behind her sister’s murder whose death was ruled a suicide.

Detective Luca and his colleague discuss about Olivia in their office. Though his colleague admires Olivia’s persistent and bright personality even after losing her sister, Luca expresses that she has no other choice but to be bright and persistent. He admits that he doesn’t want Olivia to stop by the officer any longer; her requests to have them help her solve her sister’s case has become tiresome. Instead, Luca stops by forensics to resume the investigation on the kindergarten teacher.

At the forensics office, Luca has a talk with Zoe. She shares with him that the kindergarten teacher cut her own ears and wrists before hanging herself. She also shows him the bite marks on Bori’s neck and adds that the person in the same room with the kindergarten teacher and Bori must have bit into the dog’s neck. Daniel hides in the corner of the hallway and manages to escape from the room after listening in on the conversation.

Olivia visits Cairo in the hospital and takes a look at his drawings. Upon watching him color his drawing of a lady in a red dress, she desperately asks him questions about his drawing. This scares Cairo so Olivia is kicked out from the room. Daniel also stops by the little boy’s room to visit him, but he leaves without saying a word or being seen.

Detective Luca researches information about Daniel and finds articles about his former military background plus joint collective agency with Sam. Meanwhile, Olivia grows paranoid on her walk back home that night. When she arrives at her apartment, she attacks a stranger who suddenly approaches her. However, she realizes that the person isn’t a stranger, but is someone she knows. It’s Daniel.

Olivia invites Daniel into her apartment so that they can talk about her sister’s case. Daniel reaches the conclusion that Olivia must have seen the lady in the red dress since she asked Cairo about his drawing of her earlier in the hospital. Olivia admits that she saw the red dress lady with her own eyes and predicts that the lady must be somehow related to her sister’s death. In an effort to keep Daniel, Olivia shares with him how she first saw her.
