“What’s wrong with the lights?” Diana muttered.
She got snazzynovel.com phone out and was about to call snazzynovel.com colleagues when the lights suddenly went back on again.
However, this time, there was a figure sitting in front of snazzynovel.com desk, and it was all dressed in black. Diana was so startled that snazzynovel.com backed away in shock and reached for snazzynovel.com gun.
“Officer Taylor, there’s something I’d like to talk to you about,” the black figure said in a familiar voice.
The figure then pulled down the black mask obscuring snazzynovel.com face, and Allegra’s face came into view.
“M-Ms. Booth?” Diana’s eyes enlarged.
Allegra said coldly, “Your office is running on backup power. The cameras aren’t working, so nobody knows I’m here.”
“What are you trying to do?” Diana touched the gun holster on snazzynovel.com waist and suddenly felt a lot safer.
Suddenly, Allegra’s eyes turned completely black.
Dark smoke also appeared behind her, scaring Diana so much that snazzynovel.com got goosebumps all over snazzynovel.com body. Her mouth fell open.
“See, this is howl look like now,” Allegra said frostily.
“M-Ms. Booth, what… Why?”
Swish!
Allegra suddenly reached out with snazzynovel.com right hand. Diana couldn’t react in time before snazzynovel.com felt Allegra’s hand choking snazzynovel.com neck.
Diana felt suffocated. She was frightened and tried reaching for snazzynovel.com gun.
“Still trying to put up a fight?” Allegra scoffed, waving with snazzynovel.com left hand.
The black smoke slapped the gun out of Diana’s hand.
Allegra came closer and closer to Diana, snazzynovel.com coal-black eyes staring intently at the officer. Then, Allegra said in a murderous tone, “Consider this my last warning to you. If you tell Isaac about me, I will kill your entire family. Capisce?”
Diana felt like snazzynovel.com was drenched in cold sweat. At the death threat, snazzynovel.com could only nod weakly in agreement.
In fact, Allegra was almost at snazzynovel.com limits, trying to hold herself back from killing Diana. The urge was too strong for snazzynovel.com to suppress. If snazzynovel.com didn’t force it back down, snazzynovel.com would have killed Diana right then and there for real.
“Don’t forget. This is my final warning…” Allegra then loosened snazzynovel.com hand.
Then, like a bolt of lightning, Allegra disappeared. Diana hadn’t even managed to collect snazzynovel.com wits when snazzynovel.com office was empty again.
Diana gasped loudly for air. Whatever just happened only felt like a terrible nightmare to her.
After regaining snazzynovel.com senses, snazzynovel.com quickly rushed into the monitoring room. However, due to the power outage earlier, the backup power didn’t connect automatically to the security camera system, so none of what happened earlier was caught on camera.
Then, Diana went to the bathroom to splash some cold water on snazzynovel.com face before locking herself in snazzynovel.com office. Her hands were still shaking up until now. The deadly aura from Allegra was just too terrifying.
This wouldn’t do…
She had to think of a way to solve this problem. There was a streak of determination in Diana’s eyes. The more snazzynovel.com thought of it, the more confident snazzynovel.com was that Allegra had something to do with the few murder cases over the past few days.
She hurriedly wrote down in snazzynovel.com notebook, “24-hour surveillance on Booth…”

After midnight, while Isaac was still asleep in bed, the door to his room suddenly creaked open.
Isaac thought it was Allegra. He turned over in bed and peeked at the door but suddenly widened his eyes in shock
He saw a tall, thin male figure standing by his side of the bed. Then the man turned to look at Isaac and smiled endearingly at him.
Isaac’s eyes turned red at once. He frowned deeply as his voice started shaking. “S-Sir…”
