The group of people rushed towards them but they were still late to stop the three from leaping to the lake at the height of twenty feet rock ridge.

They were in the restaurant to enjoy the evening but not to witness somebody suiciding. Many were angry, some were feeling pity, some wanted to save them and a few watched them in fascination witnessing such crazy headless fools.

They saw the trio's struggling, swinging their hands to come up the water which caused the splashing of water everywhere but they failed to swim.

The handsome man drowned with the bubbles coming up the water indicating he was losing all the oxygen. The girl's hand slowly disappeared as the water around her became calm. The last brawny man who everyone thought would save the two struggled more than the two trying to come up for oxygen and drowning repeatedly.

The four men on the bank threw their jackets or whatever they were holding and jumped to the cold water lake to save the three. Many started to shout as 'Save them, save them..' forgetting they should call the police.

The three good underwater swimmers swam to the lake bank on the other side and watched four men repeatedly plunging inside the water and searching for them.

Aarvi, "If we get caught, they will beat us to death." She said as she removed her knee-length boots to be prepared to run to the car as they had to climb a little dune to reach the car.

Standing akimbo, Dax grinned, "That was amazing."

Shawn who was silently grinning by seeing people worried or frantic noticed a few turning towards them, "Little Heart, Dax.. Run!!"historical

Shawn shouted the last word and they also heard restaurant customers yell to inform others, "Those three are there. They fooled us..." Pointing at the three soaking wet adults, running on the stairs to climb up the dune.

Aarvi found this escaping as exciting than the jump to the water, Shawn who had stairs to his side shouted as he increased his pace, "You two get to the highway, I will get the car."

However, Aarvi sprinted faster on the stairs, "I will get the car."

Shawn and Dax: "..."

The duo almost paused looking at her slender bare legs skipping a stair climbing faster. Their shoes were wet and a little slippery so they realized why she removed her boots.

"Catch.." Aarvi shouted without stopping or pausing her speed. The duo saw her black leather boots flying at them. They were quick to catch one each and took another non-stairs path to climb up to the highway bridge.

The swimmers were cursing the three nonstop while others chased towards them. However, Aarvi hopped in the car, drifted the car into the parking with another loud screech by tires causing them to pause in footsteps scared of being hit by the car.

"Aish, this daredevil," Shawn said watching her purposeful drifting in a circle to scare the people away. Dax was loving their craziness.

Aarvi then slammed on the gas pedal to get to the highway. Of course, she played the two men to run on the highway before letting them hop and burst into laughter.

Looking at themselves in dripping wet clothes, Aarvi drove a little ahead and pushed the men out to send them to change clothes amidst dense trees and bushes while she changed in the car thanking the tinted glasses.

She had dried the car seats waiting for them to return when she heard a loud cry of Shawn and Dax which faded away covering with deathly silence. Hopping off the car, Aarvi rushed towards where the two men went calling them frequently, "Shawn.. Dax.. Shawn.. Dax.." The ten minutes passed but Aarvi failed to locate them or hear them.

Dax and Shawn's jaws had dropped looking at the beautiful untouched clear freshwater lake amidst the forest forgetting they had left slipped at the slope and Aarvi was alone. That was the power the water lake had on them, it was so crystal clear that they could easily see the bottom surface of the lake.

However, Aarvi ended up on a different path and noticed a villa in the forest. Something felt weird and suspicious so she made sure to hide behind and watch without having any idea that it was Leon Harmon's villa where his illegal works are carried out. In fact, the whole villa was constructed in an illegal place.

Unsure if Dax and Shawn were there or somewhere else, she took her mobile out and started recording the men who were pacing back and forth shifting some wooden boxes inside the villa.

While recording, her brows ceased looking at a man and identifying him.

'Dylan Harmon?!' Aarvi lips smirked to an evil one discerning Leon's most important place. This place had cost her hundreds of men's labor to find it yet they had failed miserably.

The GPS or any navigation fails to point that place. She had heard only a few knew the way to that place. Her mind started working on how she could use this situation and she had almost turned off her mobile when another person caught her attention and left her world upside down.

Her hand trembled threatening to lose her composure while her thoughts ran wild. 'What is he doing here?' She really wanted to think her eyes playing games but it was clear as day.

She squatted down trying her best to join dots but she wasn't sure if she was in jeopardy again, she wasn't sure if somebody was trying to gather her situation either. 'Did anybody else got to know Ava Kelly is alive?'

It was too sensitive for her to leak about the man or even to talk about it. She needed to confirm her suspicion but 'will this bring another bloodbath? Or...' She didn't want to think about another possibility.

She was yet to decide whether to sneak to check inside the villa, a hand landed on her shoulder without any previous warning or cue by the hand's owner arrival

One thing she knew was she has to be deadly calm because the area was too dangerous so she turned around without making any noises or changing expressions. Her brows furrowed seeing the man who placed a finger on his lips indicating her to be quiet.

"Ms. Evans, this place is not safe for you. Please head back to the car." The Head of the Shadow team pleaded in a low tone folding his hands together because Aarvi was in extreme danger if she does any tiny recklessness.

Aarvi discerned that the Shadow team knew the men inside the villa wields deadly weapons and they would kill before thinking. Aarvi asked despite knowing, "Who is the owner of this place?"

The head of the shadow team looked troubled but he answered promptly because she was very smart enough to catch lies and they weren't allowed to lie to her else she wouldn't let them protect her from distance, "Ms. Evans, it belongs to Leon Harmon illegal weapons trade which he imports and exports."

Aarvi's brows creased again, what he meant was, it is one of the places among Leon Harmon's illegal centers and Aarvi had thought he had a single center for all the work.

Glancing behind once, Aarvi ordered in a low voice as she walked away without creating a tiny noise by any of the steps, "Send me the coordinates of this place."

He acknowledged in a low voice but she walked away as though she was walking in the air yet he waited till she vanished from his sight and she wouldn't be visible to the men at the villa before he disappeared into the forest going to the shadows...

Aarvi saw the slope that had the traces of slide hence she removed her sandals, took fallen bamboos, and used them as a skate to avoid walking down the slope. The shadow team was speechless looking at her all stunts which they didn't know she was capable of.

On the other end, Aarvi was also wonderstruck looking at Shawn and Dax swimming again and also looking at the crystal clear water that was sparkling by the sun rays. To avoid catching a cold, Aarvi didn't enter the water and watched them competing with themselves as they spoke to her.

Aarvi didn't tell anything about what she encountered and who she saw there. She knew those two already messed their mind with her past incident, including them with such extreme dangerous news might not end up well with them. She wouldn't dare to put their lives in danger how much ever-powerful they were.

Aarvi soon received the geographical coordinates of the villa but she didn't use it yet. Until she could confirm if the person she saw was double gaming or tricking Harmons or he has his own mastermind, she would make sure to take each step carefully. 'Ahhh... Why can't I enjoy my vacation?' She thought feeling bad for her own life but she was also glad the two nut heads didn't go that side.

As Aarvi had expected, the long swimming time consumed a lot of energy of two men making them too lazy to even walk out of the forest. But before that Aarvi was grinning looking at the dried bamboo leaves.

"What's wrong with you? Are you seeing bro on the leaves now?" Shawn gazed at the leaves and Aarvi's mischievous smile.

Aarvi: "..." The smile on her face wavered before giving him a nasty look. Dax and Shawn heard her order, "Grab any pair of your wet clothes fast."

"Huh?" Unclear, both did as she said with her help before Dax and Shawn squealed, shooking her shoulder, "My Honeybun is so evil."

Shawn shrugged his hands and held her shoulder, "My Little heart is so sly and foxy."

"Guys, seriously? Are they compliments? I want real ones.. Are you guys listening to me? Shawn.. Daaaaax." She ran behind them, seeing them up for the next prank with her idea.
