Witnesses said that there were three men who declared a heist. Two of them went to the back office behind the counter. The remaining one acted as a watcher.

When the SWAT swept through the building, they had found two of the hostage takers on the floor, dead on the spot.

Nobody knew what happened inside the back office except for one witness.

The witness claimed that he got dragged into the room by another man. But that man was not one of the hostage takers. The man engaged with the hostage takers and killed one of them.

When asked further about what happened, the witness claimed that he suddenly fell unconscious, and could not provide anymore details.

No video had been recorded on the CCTV throughout the incident.

 Henry placed the report on the table.

From his jacket he took a black box and pulled a stick.

From the opposite side, Andre shuffled over and flicked the zippo lighter.

Henry sucked the smoke into his mouth. He inhaled as he leaned back on the black leather sofa. Smoke slowly flowed from his mouth.

His suspicious mind was bothered. There was more to it than meets the eye, and he was determined to find out.

The CCTV footage inside the bank was most likely deleted. It would take time before they could recover some evidence, if it was even possible.

The scent of tobacco mixed with mint filled the office.

Kasumi and Andre gauged the boss's reaction. Years of working under Henry enabled them to understand his subtle expressions. But eventually they realized that they were able to do this only because Henry allowed it. The man had an impervious mask.

"I want that footage retrieved, but keep it under wraps. Yours and Andre's personal expertise is highly appreciated." Henry instructed his chief of security.

"As you wish." Kasumi replied. The boss's words meant that they should not use their men to gather information. They had to do it themselves.

Henry dismissed his two subordinates.

In Kasumi's office, the two held a brief conversation.

"Should I investigate him?" Kasumi asked.

"Even if you asked him a question, I doubt he knows something. He's just a migrant worker." Andre lifted his spectacles.

Kasumi nodded.

"But, just in case..."

"Alright, I'll tell him..."
