No one would believe this was a coincidence.
"Kelly''s medical teams ran into trouble in Solmaris, and even the country didn''t give up on her. How did
Eric manage to get a death certificate? Zev leaned back in his seat, his gaze cold as he stared out the car window.
He didn''t trust Eric.
Even if the Lynchs were behind this, there was no way Eric wasn''t involved, iming he knew nothing waspletely impossible.
Kelly''s incident was part of a bigger scheme from the very beginning.
Zev nowe suspected that everything might be connected, forming a perfect loop.
If all of this was indeed tied to the Lynchs or someone else, then Kelly''s death would be the most advantageous oue for them.
They would likely continue going after her, setting up more idents to eliminate her.

At the pharmacy.
Kelly was organizing the medications and arranging the shelves.
A few thugs walked in. It was clear they were there to gather information.
"Hey, beauty, here alone?" one of them asked.

Kelly took a deep breath, typed, and let the voice message y, "Sir, is there anything I can help with?"
The thug smirked, his tone full of malice. "Give me a box of condoms."
Kelly remained unfazed, handing him a box.
The thug grinned lewdly. "Do you have that kind of medicine?"
Kelly frowned as she typed, then let the voice message y. "What medicine?"

"Stop ying innocent. Don''t know what kind of pill I mean? The one that makes women... lose control," the thug said, trying to grab Kelly,
Kelly quickly pulled her hand back, ring at him angrily. "Keep causing trouble, and I''ll call the police.
The thug chuckled. "Go ahead, call them. This is a pharmacy. Buying that kind of stuff isn''t illegal" Kelly angrily mmed the medication onto the counter.
The thug grabbed the package, tossing the damaged condoms onto the table. I don''t like using these."
Kelly was furious and wanted to demandpensation, but she was worried they might cause more trouble, so she decided to let it go.
Once the thugs left, Kelly paid for the items, slipped the opened condoms into her pocket, and thought she''d throw them in at trash bin outside after her shift
Outside
A group of thugs hid in the alley. "We checked it. It''s just her alone
The higher-
ups want us to take action tonight. Get some photos and videos to use as leverage, then kick her out of Seville.
The thugs exchanged looks, grinning wickedly.
After finishing the handover with her colleagues, Kelly nned to leave. She looked around to make sure there were no suspicious people outside before heading to the rental. kelly knew very well that if
the incident in Solmaris wasn''t an ident, and if her parents'' deaths weren''t an ident either, the killer wouldn''t spare her.
So, she had to be extremely cautious.
But even so, the thugs were still lying in wait for her in the alley.
"Hey, beauty, done with work" One of them grinned, cornering Kelly against the wall.
Kelly looked at him warily, her eyes showing no fear.
After all, she had spent time in the war-tors Solmaris.
"Is there something you need? Kelly asked through a voice message.
"I bought your medicine. Aren''t you supposed to guarantee it works? Let us try it on you. Any problem with that? The thug grinned, reaching out to touch Kelly''s face in a teasing manner. Kelly turned her head away, her brow furrowing
The thug let out a low chuckle and tried to move closer again.
"Ah! D''mn" In a sh, Kelly grabbed her pepper spray from her bag and sprayed it directly into his eyes. As he staggered hark the mmed him with one hand and kneed him hard in the stomach

This move was something Zev had taught her back in Solmaris.
The thug screamed in pain as he crashed to the ground, rolling around while clutching his eyes.
The others cursed and moved toward Kelly, ready to take action.
Finished
She quickly sprayed a circle of pepper spray around her, then turned and sprinted toward the end of the alley in panic.
"Little mute, don''t think you can run!"
Just as Kelly reached the end of the alley, one of them blocked her path.
The man smirked as he pressed a handkerchief over her mouth and nose.
Kelly struggled but soon passed out.
