Tiffany POV
"Come on let's have our breakfast first." As Carlos said. We follow Carlos to the dining area where the food is ready.
"Good Morning! Take your breakfast first before leaving for your work." Clarissa said putting the plates with fried hotdogs on the table. There are sunny eggs, bacon, spam, and gardenia at the table. A coffee, creamer, and milk, sugar, too, for our choice of drink.
"Good morning, mommy, daddy, and to all!" Carl said pulling the chair and seat enthusiastically.
"Hello!" Claire waved her hand, greeting us. Like Carl did, she pull the chair beside her brother and take her seat.
"Everybody let's take our breakfast now. I am hungry." Carlos said pulling the chair beside his wife who was already sitting. We take our seats, too, and start putting food to our plate except for Jasper who pours blood to his goblet and sips it. Its metallic smell lingered in the air. The two kids covered their noses and give him a deadpan look.
"What? I am eating like you. It's just that your food is solid while mine is liquid." Jasper said arching his brow.
"It has an awful smell," Claire says.
"Oh, well, in that case, there is nothing I can do about it. So, sorry for that my dear. Well, you will use to it, soon." Jasper says. Claire rolled her eyes. Clarissa smile shyly at Jasper.
" Sorry for Claire's behavior, Jasper. Please, don't take it to your heart." Clarissa apologized on behalf of her daughter.
"Oh, don't worry about it. She is just a kid." Jasper said.
We happily chat while eating but John still ignores Jasper's presence.
We go to Carlos's van after the kids kiss their mother's cheek and go with us.
"Oh, is Tyler will go with us?" I ask in surprise.
"Yes, he is one of the officers, too." Carlos reply.
We take the van and we drop the kids in their school. We go to the headquarters to meet the team after dropping the kids. Carlos opens his office.
"Take your seats," Carlos said and dial the telephone on the right side of his table.
"Officer Taylor, are the three new officers are already here?" Carlos says.
"Ok, call them here. I want to talk to them." Carlos says. Then he put back the phone into its cradle.
"Let's wait for them," Carlos said afterward.
A knock at the door was heard after a couple of minutes.
"Come here," Carlos says. The three of us look at the door.
Three men enter the door. I look at the man who is a brunette with green eyes. He looks at my directions, too.
"Good morning sir," The three said in unison.
"Good morning and take your seats," Carlos said. The three take their seat on the chairs.
"Ok, officers. I would like you to meet each other for your teamwork on our mission." Carlos said.
"This is Officer Allyson Alder. He was a transferee from New York Police District. Officer Alder meet Officer Johnson Olsen. he was a transferee, too from Odda, Norway; Officer Tiffany Brent. She is from Odda, Norway, too. And this man is our undercover agent Officer Jasper Mackintosh, from Scottland. Meet Officer Tyler Scott. So these two guys are officer Colton Campbell and Officer Cristopher Smith both from New York." Carlos introduces us to them and vice versa. We shake our hands.
"Ok, go back to your seat and let us divide your team," Carlos says.
"Since there are three clans that are criminals here in Seward Park, we have to divide your groups into three. So, I prepare here three rolling papers that inside were your partner's name. So Officer Tiffany, Officer John, and Officer Tyler will pick one piece of rolled paper. Whoever name you pick up, that is your teammate, ok?" Carlos said.
"H-how about me?" Jasper ask.
"I told you, you are an undercover agent. You should not be exposed. You work discreetly. You will help these three teams to track them. So you had a very big role in this case. Ok?" Carlos said.
"Ok." He said happily and keep quiet again.
"Ok, now. Are you ready?" Carlos asks.
"Yes, Chief!" The three of us said. We pick up one piece of rolled paper, open it and read the name written inside. I got Officer Allyson Alder.
"I picked Officer Allyson Alder as my teammate," I said.
"I got Officer Colton Campbell as my teammate," John says.
"And I got Officer Cristopher Smith as my teammate," Tyler says.
"Ok, since you got your team. Team 1 is Officer Alder. Team 2 is Officer Campbell and team 3 is officer Tyler. For the clan you will follow, team 1 will track Karayan Clan, Tiffany you are the leader for this team. Team 2 will track the Bancroft Clan, Colton you are the leader of this team. Team 3 Kearne Clan will be your duty and you, Tyler is the team leader. So, talk to your team and make a plan for how to track and corner them. Guys, I am counting on you. and call me if you need some help."
"Yes, Chief," We said in chorus. Carlos's phone rings. He gets his phone and touches the answer button
"Hello,?" Carlos answer. His eyes furrow.
"When did it happen? Where is the place" He gets his pad and pen and writes something on it dictated from the other line? We all look at him, watching.
"Ok. Ok. I'll be there in 10 minutes." Carlos said then he hung up the phone and look at us.
"Guys, go with me. There was a murder again. Let's check it out." As he detached the scratchpad and put it in his pocket. He leads the door.
"Jasper, go there ahead of time. It is better to be safe than sorry. This is the address." He pulls out the paper from his pocket and shows it to Jasper.
"Ok, Chief." He says.
"Remember be careful and work in discreet."
"Yes, Chief," Jasper said and in a flash, he was gone before us. Carlos looks at us.
"Come on." He says and we follow him outside to his car that parks outside.
