The Devil's Sweetheart

By the time Leena finished watching the CCTV footage clips, it had turned evening. At least she had a breakthrough in the case, and she is happy about that. Leena then checked her mobile, and it didnot surprise her to see the inbox flooded with Devin's messages. She replied to him with a cute apology. She knew Devin must be devastated getting restricted to the bed, but at the same time, she doesn't want to abandon this work. Now that Devin is fine, she wants to concentrate on the mastermind behind Devin's accident. Until she gets a clue about the person, her mind and heart cannot rest.

Leena switched on the lights, and made her way to the kitchen, poured water for herself to drink. At the very moment, the intercom of the house buzzed. She peeked into the buzzer and was surprised to see two big shots standing in front of her home. ''Father-ina-law, Francy.'' Nick also tagged along with them, which is not a surprise to her.

Opening the door, Leena let them in with a warm smile. ''What brings you here?''

''Just like that, to see you.'' Fredrick smiled and handed a file to Leena. ''The list of people you asked for. They are the only people aware of Devin's Norway visit from the Wang enterprises. Hardly, only three or four persons know.'' Fredrick said. Words of mouth travel faster than anything else. There is a chance of slip in the tongue knowingly or unknowingly. After he talked with Kurt, they speculated on a person named Enger. Fredrick tried to find about him, but all he saw was, he is a regular working employee. He can't rely on speculations alone.

''Devin is a celebrity, Leena. What if it could be someone from outside the company? It could be a fan also.'' Francis shared his opinion.

''It's a plan violently executed without any flaws, Francy. How would outsiders know Devin would come back on the exact date unless it is leaked by someone he knew? Except for our family members, we are left with people from the company.'' 

''Are you speculating we have a mole in our company?'' Fredrick questioned, concerned. ''I share confidential information only with the people I trust.''

''I can't say we have a mole.'' Stated Leena. ''But every person will have a weakness.''

''You mean they are threatened or forced into it?'' Fredrick asked. It made sense to him. ''Who could it be?'' He whispered to himself.

''Wait a minute.'' Leena quickly went inside her bedroom and arrived back with the laptop. Showing the video clip of a car, Leena explained. ''Do you see her? She is the Art Director of WD, Andrea Smith. This is the CCTV footage clips of Andrea's car within the New York City police department Surveillance range.'' 

Nick and Fredrick looked flummoxed except for Francis.

''H_ow did you find the footage?'' Nick asked, astonished. Hacking into the city police station is not an easy task. ''D_id you hack into the police system!'' He still couldn't believe Leena did that. 

Leena glanced up at Nick with a mischievous smile. ''You should stop using the outdated technologies, babe.'' Gently, she patted his shoulder. ''Didn't I tell you not to mess with me on the other day.''

Nick's mouth opened and closed like a fish. Now he has a clear idea. Was I showing my rookie skills in front of a notorious hacker? He and Adney bitched about her skills also. If Leena knows about it, they are dead meat in her hands.

On the other hand, Fredrick was, although astonished, he was feeling proud of his daughter-in-law. ''Francis, I didnot believe when you told about Leena's skills, but I have to agree, you have got a gem in your hands.''

''Of course,'' Proudly, Francis caressed Leena's head. ''My baby is the gem you would want to buy again and again.''

''Thank you, Francy.'' Leena's expression faded into a sheepish smile. She was almost in a paradise. Leena even wanted her father-in-law to comment, but it's not the right time. She has to deal with Andrea now.

''You are welcome, baby,'' Francis said. ''So, what's with Andrea?'' 

Playing the clips, Leena explained. ''Here you go, I have checked the ten-day video footage, and Andrea almost visited Red-light district seven times.'' Looking at the three of their confused faces, Leena explained. ''Think about it. Anything can happen behind closed doors. I am not telling Andre is a bad person, but there might be someone waiting for the opportunity to use against her weakness.''

''Brilliant, daughter-in-law. You are amazing.'' Fredrick was awed by Leena's out-of-the-box thinking. Being an FBI, even Kurt didnot get this idea. Maybe if his son was in his senses, it would have definitely hit his brain. ''Devin, and you are indeed a match made in heaven.''

''Thank you.'' Leena was in cloud nine for the second time today.

''Don't praise her, uncle Fredrick. You don't know about her narcissistic personality.'' Nick added, scoffing at Leena.

''Get lost, dirty fellow. You are all jealous of my intellect brain.''

''What did you_''

''Stop fighting.' Fredrick interrupted the two. ''Let's go and meet Andrea. We will talk with_.''

''You are not coming with me, and neither Francy.'' Leena declined, and catching their confused faces, she quickly clarified. ''You know, she is a young woman, and it would be awkward to talk about those things in front of you two.''

''Alright, child.'' Francis understood her words. ''At least take Nick with you. I hope she will not mind.''

''Okay.'' Even if Leena doesn't want to, he will tag along.

''I forgot one more thing.'' Fredrick handed a key to Leena before leaving. ''This is the key to Devin's house you asked for.''

''Are you planning to shift?'' Francis asked.

''For a change, probably, yes. But I am yet to discuss with Devin.'' There is something Devin is hiding, and this accident has pushed all her barriers to find the secrets.

''Alright, we will take our leave. Call me if you need any help.'' Francis said.

Leena nodded her head in approval and glanced at the wall clock. 7' O clock. Andrea might be in the office. Leena quickly sent a message to Harley and waited for her reply.

[Harls: She is in the office]

[Goddess Leena: Keep an eye on her. Tell me when she starts]

[Harls: Okay]

''Let's go.'' Leena turned to Nick and spoke up. ''We have to catch that woman today.''

''Okay.''

While traveling, Nick couldn't help but drew up his face in an expression of disgust. ''What a horny woman!''

''What can I say? Not all are lucky as you. '' Leena giggled, to which Nick balled his fists in anger. She would always bring his ex-girlfriend's family topic into the scene. But he chose to remain quiet because at the end, Leena gets the upper hand.

Once they reached the WD, Leena waited for Harley's message, and the moment she received the reply, Leena looked over the main road and spotted Andrea's car at a distance. ''There her car is.'' 

Nick accelerated and followed behind Andrea's car, and to their wonder, she didnot turn to the red-light district. ''What a surprise! She is not taking the right turn today.'' Nick stated with a sarcastic smile.

''She might not be feeling horny today.'' Leena laughed at the state of Andrea, and she actually pitied her husband.

''She has reached her home,'' Nick said as he saw Andrea's car crossing the entrance gates. ''Let's go.''

Both stepped out of the car, and suddenly Leena remembered the security guard sitting at the gate entrance. ''Can you take him?''

''Beleive me, it's a cakewalk.'' He is a trained fighter, and taking one is a child's play to him.

Within minutes, Nick and Leena were in front of Andrea's house.

....

Andrea just got home finishing her work, and she was about to enter the bathroom to take a shower; the doorbell ringed. Just when she opened the door, Andrea frowned, looking at the unfamiliar faces. ''Who are you miss?''

''Andrea Smith, Wife of Robert Bryson, Am I right?'' Without waiting for Andrea's reply, Leena shoved the woman and barged into the house while Nick locked the door.

''Who the hell are you?'' Andrea shouted. The woman's face looked familiar to her, but Andrea couldn't pinpoint where exactly she has seen her. ''You can't barge into my home_''

''Relax, Miss Smith.'' Settling herself on the couch, Leena looked around the house, pleased with the interior. ''You have got a good taste.''

Andrea's rage went up to the peaks at the woman's casualty. ''Look, miss, I don't know who you are! I will call the security_''

Before Andrea could finish her thoughts, Leena clicked the video clip and threw the mobile on the table. Andrea's face turned pale, and her body started sweating buckets. It's her car going into the red-light district. How did this woman know? But that's not the point here. If her husband knows that she is cheating, Andrea's head would be hanging to the house upside down. Before Robert knows, she has to deal with the woman carefully. ''H_ow much you want?''

''Straight to the point! I appreciate it. I Forgot, miss Horny is rolling in money.'' Leena chuckled in amusement. ''Your husband is the director at Lighthouse technologies, right?''

''Please..'' Andrea begged, kneeling on the floor. ''Don't tell my husband. At least tell me your demands.''

''Simple. I want the list of people you had sex with, for the past one month.''

''W_e don't share our personal lives_'' Andrea said.

''Nick, contact her husband_''

''Wait!'' Andrea interrupted, tears rolled down her cheeks in fear. ''Please don't call him. I _I can give the first names. Other than that, I don't know anything about them.''

''Go ahead,'' Crossing her legs one over the other, Leena relaxed, resting her head on the sofa.

''James, Lidiya, Charles.''

''Only three? If I find you are lying.'' Leena glanced at the woman, shivering uncontrollably. 

Gulping hard, Andrea quivered at Leena's threatening words. ''There is one more person, but I had met him only twice.''

''Spill it fast.'' 

''Nash,''
