Hello everyone! You can't recognize me, can you? Haha, just kidding of course! Let it be, and let me show you the old story in the newest form! Guess what?

It will be a re-edited version of "White light Vs. Black shadow." As much I have remembered that that story was praised, added to favorite lists, reviewed, read and liked. I agree that the plot was nice but after sometimes, I read it and discovered that it wouldn't be bad if I edited it. So, I am editing this! Get ready for tasting new pickle in the same old jar :P

The oldest warning: It may be…can be….will be a tragedy. So those who don't like violence, deaths, crimes, don't read this! Thank you :D

What was the time then? Let's go to a room which was covered with the utter twilight of the night. The sun didn't rise at that time. The white-colored hands of minute and hour made an obtuse angle of 120 degree on the background of black wall clock. The hand of minute was about to cross 12 while the hour hand was resting at 4.

In the room, a young man was sleeping peacefully on his bed. Some of the bangs of his black hair were playing with air on his forehead. His breaths were normal. There was no sign of tension on his siesta-lidded face. The cool breeze of night was entering into his room and making him drown to the deepest from the deep in his slumber.

Suddenly, a sound could be heard. A cell phone was ringing somewhere in the room. The man frowned and turned left.

But it was not the solution of stopping the ringtone. The mobile continued ringing.

Smartphone is a non-living object, after all. How could his one have ears?

Clenching his teeth, the neko-jin opened his eyes. Then taking his phone from the side-table, he received the call. With a lot of annoyance, he asked, "Hello Mariah, what happened?"

"Ray, please come to the office at once." Voiced a feminine tone, "We need you."

"What?" Ray almost shouted as his sleep-embraced voice also woke up, "Are you crazy or what? You know I have reached home at 2.00 am. I am a human being, Mariah, not a robot. I need rest."

"Ray, please try to understand…." Mariah tried to manage the situation, speaking softly, not loudly, "Lee needs you. It's a question of the honor of our department, Ray."

'Let the corrupted department go to hell….' Ray muttered under his breaths, 'Why're you involving me there?'

"What happened, Ray?" The pinkette seemed impatient a bit, "I'm speaking to you in the most modest manner. I didn't think you wanted to be chided by Lee."

The neko-jin gasped. The galeon-wielder was the last person whom he wanted to talk ever. Gulping, he broke the silence, "Okay, I'm coming."

"Thank you so much, Ray." The feminine voice became loud in rejoice, "I knew that you would agree."

Disconnecting the call, Ray heaved a sigh, wrinkling his eyebrows. Getting down from the bed, he went to the bathroom. Brushing his teeth, washing his hands and face, he put on the black jacket. Descending the staircase, he got into the car. Closing its door, he started it.

The outer environs were dark, so was his life...

The galeon-holder was continuously looking at his wrist-watch. His face was filled with annoyance and wrath. The pot of his patience had already been filled. Now, disturbance was splashing from that.

"Relax, Lee," The pinkette kept a hand on his shoulder, "I've called him already. He's on his way. He's must be exhausted."

"What? exhausted?" Lee titled an eyebrow, "He's our faithful worker. He has to work hard. How can he skip his duties making so silly excuses?"

The pink-haired lady sighed. Her brother was always stubborn. He could only show his force, not his tactics.

'How many times do I have to tell you that force doesn't work always?' She facepalmed, 'Sometimes, you need to be cunning. Curving your fingers, you need to get the butter oil out of the pot. But you never understand me, Lee. If you keep misbehaving with Ray, he won't work with us anymore.'

"I have come, Lee!"

Hearing the voice, Lee turned his eyes to the doorway. Seeing the neko-jin for whom they all had been waiting, his expression softened a bit. Removing all the signs of impetuosity, he smiled a bit.

"Come Ray, come inside." He warmly welcomed, "You're looking fresh. Looks like, you've rested a lot, haven't you?"

A liar or a flatterer he was. The dark circles could easily be seen under the golden orbs of the neko-jin. The radiance of his amber orbs dimmed too. He was almost on the verge of snoozing. Nonetheless, he didn't care. Gulping and digesting his internal anger and tiredness, the black-haired man replied, "Yeah, I have. But why have you called me? Any urgent work?"

"Yeah, an urgent work it is." Lee responded, "You've to compose a report against Tao Cheng, the notorious journalist of this decade."

"T...Tao Cheng?"

It was his turn to drop his jaw. He couldn't believe his own ears. Tao Cheng was the most honest and dedicate journalist, completing Ph.D both in Criminology and Journalism. Once upon a time, he'd been one of the professors of the neko-jin's university too.

No no...he couldn't do such things...

"Yes, against him," Lee tried to make Ray accept the fact, "Such a double-agent he is! He acts as if nobody on the earth were as righteous as he. But his inner side is concealed with nothing but darkness. Somewhat like an...onion."

"Onion?"

"Yeah," The corrupt Chinese punched on his palm, "Onion looks beautiful. But when you cut it, it only makes you cry."

Ray gulped. What happened to him? He couldn't have slept properly...but he wasn't drunk either. His ears weren't cheating him after all, were they?

"What happened, Ray? You can't believe me, can you?" Lee asked, smilingly, "Don't worry. We have enough proofs and evidences."

Ray looked at Lee. His face was full of rejoice. The raven hesitated. He was at a loss.

Something must be fishy. Tao is known as such an honest journalist in our country. If he does something wrong, we all should be worried and sad. But Lee doesn't seem to be worried at all. He's looking very glad. What does it mean?

"Start working, Ray. We're going on an adventure so that we can capture that corrupted journalist." Finishing his words, Lee left the room.

Sighing, Ray sat on his chair in front of his desktop computer. Turning on the computer, he started finding a solution for this riddle. But his brain wasn't supporting him. Surrendering himself to his brain, he looked at a framed picture at the side of the monitor.

That was a group photo of Ray's batch in the University. He had completed education on Criminology and Police Science from University of Tokyo in Japan. He smiled looking at the photo. Taking the photo, he stroked on the glass frame. He felt as his fingers'd been touching his friends, breaking the barrier.

'Kai...' He murmured, 'You were the toughest person of our batch. No no, you were like a coconut. From outside, you were so strong, hard and merciless. But I know...I know that you cared for all of us. When we needed help, you were the one who understood it though we didn't confess it. Nobody returned empty-handed from you. The class representative of us...I miss you.'

His eyes went to the picture of a coco-haired girl. He said, "Hilary…you were very cheerful. You knew how to keep Kai in your control. You taught the toughest Kai to love anyone. I can still remember the incident when Kai confessed about his feelings towards you."

"Tyson…Max…Kenny…Michael…Emily…" Said he, "I can also remember all of you. Tala, Bryan, Spencer were senior to us yet I can remember them."

He felt his eyes beaded with tears.

'I miss you a lot, guys.'

"What's going on Ray?"

The raven-haired guy was busy in typing some emergency reports. Stopping his typing, he looked behind. There was his boss though he didn't want to accept him as his boss. He again inquired, "Are you working or busy at facebook?"

"No Lee, I am not one from them who do other kinda chores at working hour." He replied sternly, "I was busy in typing reports."

He was about to leave, but his boss stopped him.

"Very good, Ray." Lee said, smilingly, "Keep it up." As he was about to leave but he had to stop as his colleague stopped him.

"Lee, I have to talk with you about something important." Ray spoke in hesitation.

"Sure, start." Lee permitted him.

Ray remained silent for a few moments. After a few moments, coughing and clearing his throat, he started, "Lee, I don't want to work here anymore."

Lee eyes became widened in shock. He couldn't utter anything. Ray continued, "I don't like to type fake reports against honest and innocent persons. It just….hinders my principle…"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The Galeon-holder spat, "What have you thought? You will resign and expose us in front of the world?"

"No no Lee….try to understand…" Ray was trying to convince him but Lee wasn't ready to be convinced. He stopped him and said, "Listen Ray, if you are thinking it, then you are wrong. You can't do anything to us. Though we may get exposed and punished, but we are connected with higher links. We will easily get the bail. Then…just think Ray Kon, what will happen to you?"

Ray remained silent. Lee said, "Forget these things, Ray. If you want to live in this world, you can't be honest. Though it's for a few moments, you have to be dishonest. You have to open your dark side. Understand? I think you better understand."

Finishing his words, he threw his papers towards Ray's face. Ray just turned his face to another side. He clenched his teeth and fists. He wanted to scream loudly so that he could forget the incident.

'If I want to live in this world, I can't be honest.'

Fury rushed through his blood as he decided something.

'But I don't live in this world. If I can expose you at once, I will finish myself. Just wait and watch, Lee Wong! Just see how I expose all of you in front of everyone. You will take revenge? Find me after you get the bail. Because I won't be living in this world at that moment!'

How is it, friends? You know I have started writing after a long time. Perhaps one or two months have passed away since I wrote something. So there can be a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. Please pardon these errors. Of course read and review!
