The Devil's Hands

The Devil's Tail

Since I was a kid I always wondered why do people believe that Devil has a tail, does it really has it? And what is that for? The animal usually used it as a balance, if I cut it will the devil lose the balance?

May purposely shows that she is going somewhere alone and vulnerable. She asks the taxi driver to help her with the luggage which for a real May is insulting to herself. Never asked for someone's help if you can do it by yourself, never show your weakness to other people, is always her motto for as long as she remembers.

"Where are we going now, miss?"

"To this address sir."

"Got it."

In the morning, Liu Fei feels the apartment is very quiet. Is May still asleep? At this time she usually is in the kitchen, drinking a bottle of mineral water while checking the news.

"Jake, I don't see May anywhere, did she tell you where she is now?"

"She has gone to do the medical check-up, Liu Fei. She has told me your schedule for this week, if you have any new schedule please tell me directly okay? I will take turns with Angel. I will go there in 10 minutes to introduce Angel to you."

"Okay." Liu Fei hangs up the phone, he feels disappointed She didn't even bother to say goodbye to me, does she really think this relationship as a job only? 

Liu Fei calls May's handphone" May, why do you leave without saying anything to me?"

"I am sorry this must be Dr. Liu, I am Angel, May leave this phone with me. I am coming down now, see you."

She leaves her phone! What if something happens to her? Now those people know her as my fiancée, she can be in danger. "L, do you know she left her handphone? How will you track her? People know her as my fiancée now, she can be in danger."

"Don't worry Liu Fei, we have our own way to communicate, Jake is on your front door now, please open it."

"Hi..." (Liu Fei opens the door and lets Jacob and Angel in)

"Hi, Liu Fei this is..."

Angel cuts Jacob's introduction, she smiles so brightly. This Doctor is very handsome, nice posture and his eye is wow... how does it feel hugging him while looking into his eyes? "Hi Dr. Liu, I am Angel (wink), should I call you Liu Fei so we'll feel a bit close?" Angel talks in her very low voice almost whispering to Liu Fei.

"Angel, cut it off. I am sorry Liu Fei, She is just joking..."

"I am not joking, after this case closed we can go somewhere together, right Liu Fei? May is not as fun as me. She probably will go after another case somewhere out there, she is a workaholic, you know."

"Oh...haha... Yes, I can see that. But a case? isn't she a bodyguard?" Liu Fei pulls his hand quickly from Angel's hand. She will go to another assignment directly? That girl is really something...

Jake who feels alert, immediately shows Liu Fei the tab which May usually uses to write down his schedule "This is the schedule that May left, is there anything to add?"

"Jake, she is not just a bodyguard, is she?"

Angel you made the situation worse. Jake gives Angel a warning stare "Angel is the agent, It's a habit to call every assignment as a case, right Angel?"

Oops so May only told this guy she is just as a bodyguard, interesting! I will join the play, it will be fun... "Oh yes, I am sorry Liu Fei. Though I am on a break due to my injury I still get used to being an agent."

Seem something is off, they lie to me, don't they? Liu Fei looks at the schedule and confirms it "It's all in here, it will change if there is an emergency surgery."

"Okay then, we will be off. Angel and I will watch you from afar, people will think it strange if you meet with another girl when May is away."

"That's too bad, If I wasn't on the case last time, maybe I will be the one who protects you" Angel gives Liu Fei her brightest smile.

"That's enough Angel! By the way, Liu Fei if someone asks for May, don't tell them that she is going to do a medical check-up okay? It must sound weird right?"

"Yeah, you are right, why doesn't she do that in my hospital right?"

May is going to the place where Angel told her last time,  people can get anything in this bar. May is trying to catch 2 birds at the same time, she is waiting for the devil's tail to catch her while looking for any information that may be useful someday.

"May, this is my new innovation" dr. X shows the drug proudly. dr. X is Doctor Xiao Zhan, he has been in our team since we picked him up, literally picked him up from "a special hospital for gifted kids" in other words a laboratory that did experiments beyond humans. They try to clone or modify those poor kids so we can have more gifted people, they said. 

May was working on a missing child case when she found that hospital, and dr. X is one of that poor child that was abducted and under experiments. He was so empty at that time, the children that May has successfully saved were brought back to their family, only dr. X which still can't find out his real identity. 

May told Uncle Xi Men about dr. X's talent and Uncle Xi Men agreed to keep him and made him our team. Dr. X was 17 when May found him, 6 years has gone and he has helped the field agent a lot. All of the tools he makes are so useful for the field agent.

"What is that dr. X?"

"These pills can wake you up 5 minutes after people drugged you using any kind of drug."

"Is this effective if the devil's hands injected?"

"Hmm...this devil's hands, I have checked the ingredients and try making it. If the formula you gave me is really the devil's hands then I have tried it and it was a success."

"Great then..."

"May do you think they will use the devil's hands to Annie's case?" There is a trace of worry in Xi Men's voice, he knows and believes that May is a very reliable agent, but this is the devil that has haunted them for 20 years that she has to face now.

"I don't know Uncle Xi, but in my opinion, the risk is too high they will not use it. The heart is not easy to find."

The bars full of people, as usual, May heard someone is talking about the new heaven drug with only a pinch of it you can have your own heaven for a whole night. May makes sure she remembers their face so she can give the description to L later, this must help Angel's job. She accidentally left any communication device at the nearby hotel where she lives, she isn't sure whether this place can track any tapping tool or not, but she doesn't want to take any unnecessary risk. 

May goes and sits in front of the bartender, Angel told her any information we search will go through him. "Hi! it's Monday so Bloody Mary is the password. I would like to order the Bloody Mary please."

The bartender brings the Bloody Mary while asking "Who?"

"It's Angel."

"I see, what do you need?"

"I need a heart."

"The man in the green coat can help you with that."

May is looking around searching for that green coat, she sees the man and going closer to him. That man is still with someone, May waits in the corner trying to hear some of their conversations, an organ dealer is often a customer of the Devil's hands. 

"In a couple of days, I maybe have 2 levers, 2 lungs and you name it, I just need the heart and her medical record is perfect. This product is in perfect condition. How much can you pay?"

"Send me her data, we'll discuss the price later after you set the harvest date."

"But this is a rare product, if you won't book it now, I will offer her to another dealer."

"Hey...It's me, we have already had a business for 3 years and you still treat me like a stranger? I promise you, I will give you the estimated price after I see her data."

She? Product? Are they talking about me? Wow, let's give them a surprise then...

May walks toward the green coat, she can see that he is startled.

"Hi...the bartender told me to ask you for my need."

"Oh... wait..." he talks to the other guy and they promise to contact each other tonight "Miss...what can I do for you?"

"I need to find a heart for a young lady soon."

But you are the heart, why are you also looking for a heart? For Annie? What's going on, does Mr. Ambassador send a request to other people also?

"May I know how soon?"

"The sooner the better, I know it's almost impossible to find a heart  since the person has to die, but they tell me that you are like a magician who can provide the impossible."

"Hmm... nice nickname, a magician..." What is this product doing here? does she really know nothing about us, or this is a trap?

"Well? When can you get it?"

"Give me the data and some little time, I will contact you later. How should I contact you?"

"I live in this hotel, and this is my number. Do contact me as soon as possible, please?"

"Okay..."

May rises up from her seat and walks toward the exit door,  two pair of eyes are watching at her until she can't be seen, "What is that about? Who is she?"

"That's the product I mentioned before, you can see how healthy she is right?"

"Interesting, this is the first time a product comes to the dealer by herself."

James Shin, a devil with a warm heart, often donates his money to the animal shelter. In his spare time, he likes to feed the stray cats and dogs. Really? May decided to use this to gain his sympathy, she accidentally looks for a stray cat and goes to the mini market to buy food for them. She knows James is tailing her, she just pretends to be a careless woman, the act should start from the moment she entered the bar, and until I catch him red-handed.

James follows May to check whether this girl really knows something about what is going to happen to her, he is so surprised to see May going out of the mini-market to feed the stray, he tries hearing what she says to them.

"Hi guys, are you hungry? Hey, eat it slowly guys nobody gonna take it away from you. The mother of the kittens looks at May while eating once a while, she seems to talk to May with her eyes and May continues to talk to them. This is so nice, I haven't done this in a while. "What? Am I coming here again tomorrow? I don't know, if the person I met today can help me, I will come again tomorrow. Huh? Promise? Yes, I promise till then please stay safe with your cute kittens, don't play near the road okay?"

May rises up while waving to those happy family, The mother looks at May and meowing, May is so surprised and feels very happy "Oh you are blessing me, don't you? Thanks a lot, I need a lot of blessing nowadays."

Such a kind-hearted and cute woman, poor you little angel...I am sure when you are up there you will definitely go to heaven.

"Jake, have May contacted you?"

"Yes, she said she has arrived safely there, the test will take some days and they won't allow any kinds of communication."

"What's with all these secrets? She's just doing some medical check-up, right? Or she is in some mission that I don't know?"

"Liu Fei, in our field, secret is important for the success of our mission and the safety of our team, so I am sorry what I can say that she is safe. If in the medical check-up finds that she has a weakness, it should not be known by the enemy, or she will be in great danger, that's why the place where she takes the medical check-up is also a secret."
