As Maia was washing her hands, through the mirror, her eyes caught sight of two women with long, curly hair walking toward her. Their eyes were equally cold and stern.
As she continued looking at them through the mirror, she immediately felt that something was wrong.
“What are you guys doing?” asked Maia and the other two girls in unison.
It took her a moment, but Tina suddenly exclaimed, “Huh? Aren’t both of you men dressed up as women? Maia, look! They have Adam’s apples on their throats!”
“Heh, you’re pretty smart! It’s too late for that though! We’re here to kill you!” sneered the two men as they each pulled out a pistol with silencers attached to them.
They were both aiming at Maia.
“Ahh!”
Since the other two girls were only newly-recruited police officers, both of them were scared witless in this life-and-death situation.
Maia herself was drenched in cold sweat.
It was at that moment when she remembered Gerald warning her earlier about her being spied on. If only she had been more aware of her surroundings, this turn of events wouldn’t have happened!
“Humph! This is for arresting so many of our brothers! Let’s kill them now!”
Both men then immediately pulled their triggers and Maia shut her eyes to brace for impact.
Two bangs were then heard.
All of a sudden, the two men started holding on to their necks. Their bodies took turns convulsing and stiffening before eventually, both of them dropped to the ground, motionless.
“…Huh? What the hell just happened?”
