Silent Amour Chapter 88
Eryx began his investigation by interviewing the museum staff and reviewing security footage. He asked Franklyn and Revilla to take the footage to see if it had been tampered with. Meanwhile, Alex started to investigate the staff, and Eryx was roaming around to collect any evidence if there was any. The museum was a sprawling old building with high ceilings and large, echoing halls. Eryx methodically checked each exhibit room, glancing at the glass cases and the security setups. The museum director, Thompson, hovered nearby."Do you think it could have been an inside job?" Thompson asked."It's too early to say," Eryx replied, scanning the marble floor for any signs of disturbance. "But we have to consider all possibilities."Alex, meanwhile, was talking to the employees in the break room. Most were shocked that anything had gone missing at all. The security guards seemed especially rattled, one of them, a young woman named Clara, couldn't stop fidgeting with her keychain."It’s just

Eryx sat at his cluttered desk, stacks of papers and old files littering the surface. He was engrossed in the museum staff list, carefully examining each name and its corresponding details. Across the table, Alex was hunched over his laptop, reading aloud from an article about the recent rash of antique thefts."Listen to this, Eryx," Alex said, not looking up from his screen. "Some of these stolen antiques are worth millions on the black market. There's this one Ming vase, for example, that could fetch up to three million dollars. Can you believe that?"Eryx nodded absently, still focused on his task. "Yeah, I can believe it. People will pay anything for a piece of history. Just keep track of the most valuable items. It might help us understand the thief's motive better."Just then, Franklyn burst into the room just always, a folder in his hand. He looked slightly dishevelled as if he had rushed over from somewhere. Eryx and Alex turned to him expectantly."Got the surveillance resul

Just then, the door to his bedroom burst open, and his son Alan came barreling in. The little boy’s face was lit up with excitement, his eyes sparkling with the pure joy only children can muster. Alan leapt onto the bed, landing with a soft thud beside Braylon."Daddy, come play with me!" Alan exclaimed, tugging at his father's arm. "You promised!"Braylon couldn't help but chuckle at his son’s enthusiasm. His worries about Eryx began to fade as he looked at Alan. "Alright, alright," Braylon said, nodding and smiling. He scooped Alan into his arms carefully, lifting him off the bed. "Let's go play."Alan cheered as Braylon carried him out of the bedroom and into the living room. They settled onto the floor, surrounded by Alan's toys. Alan grabbed his favourite toy car and handed another to Braylon."Daddy, let’s race!" Alan declared, already lining up his car on an imaginary track.Braylon smiled and positioned his car next to Alan's. "Ready, set, go!" he shouted, pushing his car forw

Braylon sat on his couch, feeling the effects of the medications. The sleeping pills, painkillers, and antibiotics prescribed by the doctor for his wound healing were doing their job, making him drowsy. He was on the verge of drifting off when his mobile phone chimed, startling him. He fumbled for it, blinking at the screen. It was an incoming call from Eryx."Eryx?" Braylon muttered to himself, confused. Eryx hadn’t replied to his messages in a whole day, now why? With a groan, he swiped to answer the call, his voice heavy with sleep. "Hello?""Braylon, you won’t believe what happened!" Eryx’s voice came through, loud and erratic, with a crackled chuckle and sudden pick up of his words. "I broke off my engagement with Amy at dinner that night. In front of my parents!"Braylon sat up from the couch, his drowsiness momentarily forgotten. "What? You did what?""Yeah, and that’s not all," Eryx continued, his words tumbling out in a rush. "I came out to my family. Told them I’m gay. And m

Eryx woke up the next morning with a start, his eyes blinking rapidly as he tried to get his bearings. It took a moment for the fog in his mind to clear, but when it did, he realized he wasn't alone. Beside him, nestled comfortably in his embrace, was Braylon. Eryx's heart skipped a beat. His eyes widened as he tried to piece together the events of the previous night, but no memories came to mind. Despite the confusion, a peace washed over him as he gazed at the sleeping face of the man he adored.Braylon stirred, eyelids fluttering open to reveal sleepy eyes that soon locked onto Eryx's. A small smile played on Braylon's lips as he caught his love staring at him. For a few precious moments, they simply looked at each other, eyes communicating feelings words couldn't capture. Then, unable to resist, Eryx leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to Braylon's lips, earning a returned smile."Good morning," Braylon murmured, voice husky with sleep."Good morning," Eryx replied, his heart sw

It had been hours passed since Eryx came to the precinct and everyone was indulged in their own work. That's when Revilla suddenly spoke up. "Eryx, look at this." She pointed to a name on the staff list. "This guy, David Palmer. He worked with Thornton at his last job. Could be a coincidence, but maybe not."Eryx raised an eyebrow. "Interesting. Let's get in touch with Palmer. See if he can tell us anything about Thornton's past behaviour.""Alex, call Palmer to investigate." Eryx ordered, the latter got his task and pulled out a phone to call him.By late afternoon, Franklyn finally had an update on surveillance. "Brother Eryx, we got something. The tech team managed to restore part of the footage. It's not much, but it shows someone accessing the security system right before the cameras were tampered with."Eryx’s eyes lit up. "Can we identify them?"Franklyn nodded. "It’s not very clear, but it looks like someone wearing a staff uniform. We’re trying to enhance the image to get a b

Zaneta had rushed over to Braylon's house the moment she heard the news from her parents. The shock of hearing that her cousin had been shot had made her heart race, and now, standing at his front door, she could feel her pulse thudding in her ears. She knocked urgently, and it was only a few moments before Braylon himself opened the door, looking surprised but happy to see her."Sister! What are you doing here?" he asked, stepping aside to let her in."I heard what happened," she said, her voice filled with concern. "I had to come and see you. Are you okay? You idiot"Braylon gave her a weak smile and shrugged. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a flesh wound, really. The doctors said I'm lucky.""Lucky?" Zaneta echoed, raising an eyebrow as she stepped into the house. "You got shot, Braylon! That's not something you just shrug off.""I know, I know," he said, leading her to the living room. "But I'm okay, really. I'm a detective and it's all normal.""Normal, my ass." She grunted."But I'm more

As Zaneta drove home, she couldn't stop thinking about Braylon and the difficult choices he had to make. She hoped with all her heart that Braylon would find the happiness he deserved and that Alan would grow up knowing just how much he was loved.The next few days were a whirlwind for Braylon. He had a lot of time to think about his conversation with Zaneta, and he knew she was right. He had to follow his heart, not just for his own sake but for Alan's too.-------------------------Stiles slammed his fist on the table, frustration boiling over. He had meticulously planned the kidnapping of Braylon’s son, Alan, only to be thwarted by the ever-vigilant shadow guards. The guards, an elite force unknown to most, had rendered his attempts futile. "Damn it!" Stiles growled, pacing back and forth in the dimly lit room. "How the hell did Braylon get shadow guards? Who even are they?"He glared at his lackey, who shrank back in fear. "Find out everything you can about those guards. I want t
