Chapter 36


    Be waspletely thrown when Ryder said, "I need your help."


    Be understood Ryder''s nature. Unless it had been a really problematic situation, Ryder would never


    approach her directly. "What is the problem? How can I help?" Be asked a bit tensed. She moved to


    a side and allowed Ryder to step inside Maya''s room.


    "The Xia n." Ryder replied in a clipped tone.


    "Xia n?" a voice called from the open door. Both of them turned to see Maya standing there with a


    bag slung over her shoulder. "Didn''t we deal with the power struggle in Xia nst time? As far as I


    know we cleaned out all the bad people from the n." Maya continued questioning them.


    "Apparently, we missed someone thest time. There is a illegal sale of were animals going down in


    the country. It is scheduled on theing weekend though the specific day and time is unknown. We


    are still trying to get the information on this sale. The organizer seems to be named Xia." Ryder replied


    in a reporting tone. Although Ryder was leading his own team now, he slipped into his old way of


    reporting to Maya.


    "Any chance that it is a coincidence? Maybe it is someone else named Xia with no rtions to the


    vampire n." Bemented trying to see other possibilities.


    "Someone else named Xia in the criminal worldmitting the same type of crime? Highly doubtful. It


    cannot be a coincidence." Maya replied.


    "Alright, it is your first time as a Team Leader Ryder. A lot is riding on you. If you need any help then


    don''t hesitate to ask me. Also remember, sessfully rescuing the victims of trafficking is more


    important than anything else." Maya stated to Ryder and turned towards Be, "Once this mission is


    Be and Ryder left the room to walk towards theputer zone and Ryder''s office. There was a


    feeling of an unspoken truce between them.


    "She doesn''t make it easy, does she?" Be asked Ryder with a smile.


    "It is certainly difficult to work while knowing the expectations people have from you." Ryder replied in a


    soft tone.


    "Put me to work. Let''s make sure this demon is in forever." Be said.


    When Be entered the room, everyone  was busy on their workstations and no one paid attention to


    her. However when Be set up her own work station and logged in on it, Carter noticed her and asked


    Ryder, "Who is she? Is she a new joinee?"


    "She is a temporary consultant that will be helping us on this case." Ryder replied.


    "Is she any good?" Carter asked.


    "She is Be. She is a vampire and she is the best online tracker out there. Trust me, she is more than


    good for this work." Ryder said.


    "Ok boss man, if you say so." Carter replied not believing his words. For Carter, Ryder was the best


    person for online criminal tracking while he ranked the second.


    "You don''t believe him, do you?" Be asked raising her head a little arrogantly.


    "Forgive me, but I find it hard to believe that there''s a better tracker than us out there in the world. It is


    nothing against you, just that Council has more money and equipment and has given us the best of the


    training avable." Carter exined his viewpoint.


    "I don''t me you for disbelieving. How about a little bet Carter?" Be asked.


    "What type of bet?" Carter returned her question with one of his own.


    "Let''s see who amongst both of us can find most relevant clues with regards to the case in under an


    hour. Whoever finds the most relevant clue, wins. It can be judged by your boss, Mr. Ryder." Be said


    smirking.


    Ryder was jolted back by her words. What Be had said was quite simr to the challenge he had


    thrown her way. He had arrogantly challenged her and had fallen t on his face. It was an


    embarrassing moment of his life. However it was also that moment were he had felt attraction towards


    someone other than his mate. He had been shocked at that time. When Be had imed herself to be


    his second chance mate, a lot of things had made sense. Unfortunately he had never been quite ready


    to ept another person as his mate.


    "What does the winner gets?" Carter asked a smirking wildly.


    "Whatever the winner says, loser will have to ept for a total of 24 hours." Be replied with a smirk


    of her own.


    "Challenge epted." Carter replied.


    Their banter had attracted the attention of the entire office and people gathered around them to see


    them work. Be and Carter went at it and started collecting information from their sources, tracked


    down other illegal sale activities connected with name Xia and did so much more.


    After the hour waspleted, Carter disyed his results to the group and showed them the past


    illegal activities with traces of Xia n involvement.


    Beughed lightly and showed herptop screen to Carter. She had found out the date, time and


    ce for the sale of were animals that was going to take ce on the uing Saturday evening. But


    what clinched her victory was that she had managed to secure an invitation for the sale. Her contact


    was going to send her more information about the sale that was going to take ce.


    Carter stood up holding on to herptop. There was disbelief written on his face, his mouth hung open.


    He looked quiteical and Be couldn''t resist a showing a smile. Silence reigned in the office for a


    moment or two before everyone started speaking at oncementing andplimenting on Be''s


    work.


    "How? It would have taken us a few days or at the very least a few hours. How did you manage to get


    these details in just an hour? Who are you?" Carter asked his shock showing in his speech.


    "I am Be, a hybrid vampire and an online criminal tracker. Now do you believe that I am good enough


    for this job?" she asked raising her left eyebrow.


    Carter nodded dumbly and sat back down in his seat.


    "Don''t feel too bad. She had bested me once as well. She is really good." Ryder said patting Carter''s


    shoulder.


    "Hmm.. yeah I had forgotten about that." Bemented nonchntly. Her head was already back in


    herptop and her attention just focused on the task at hand. She didn''t notice how pain shed in

    Ryder''s eyes at her words.


    He wanted to say something, question her about her new behaviour but he was reminded of Dn''s


    words. He barely managed to keep himself quiet. He sat with other members of the team and they


    started researching on the past sales of the were animals.
