That was a sentence Valentina D'Angeli had heard many many times from her mother. She had never believed it much, not until she suffered the deepest wound in her life. The death of Fiorella, her beloved sister, had almost killed her.

Afterwards, she had gotten ill while chasing Domino, the responsible for the murder.

On the good side, she had met Zeo again, and gotten to know Vulkie, a new friend. Those two people helped filling up the void Fiore had left in her life.

It wasn't like she stayed with them all the time. They all had things to do and places to go. Cases to solve, agencies to help, villains to chase... It was almost a miracle when she could stay with any of them for a while. A complete miracle as she had time to be with both.

At the current moment, she had found some time to be with Vulkie. She always had fun at those moments, especially when they had the time to go out and eat dinner or lunch. Like right now.

Tina was quiet, which was pretty unusual. But of course, she was with her mouth full, and good girls don't speak with their mouths full. After she finally ate the last portion of her dish, she smiled to her friend.

"Sorry, dear, had no time to eat lunch. Or breakfast."

She took a deep breath and gestured for the waiter to bring some coffee.

"Now, tell me everything. What have you been up to?"

In the living room,there was nothing special. So was for the kitchen,the bathroom,the bedroom and the basement. So,the only thing left was the office room.

Valentina looked at the bookcase and Vulkie began to search the office desk. Suddenly,Vulkie noticed something taped under the desk. Vulkie ripped it from under the desk and opened it.

"Your next clue detectives. What ticks and hangs on a wall?" the letter said.

"Sure,a clock" Vulkie thought and she ran to the living room and searched behind the clock. A ring was taped behind it.

"Truly yours. Eva.." the ring read. "Look at this" Vulkie said and Valentina looked at the ring.

"Who's Eva?" Valentina asked. "Don't know. Oh look,a small note is also taped."

"Everest" it read.

"Eva Everest?! The famous actress that's going to feature in that new movie,what's the name?" Valentina said.

"I don't know... But we'll find her. Not now,but soon..." Vulkie said,with a small grin on her face. A new lead... The two detectives returned to the office,only to hear some kind of ticking. "What's that ticking sound?" Valentina asked.

Vulkie's instinct began to work. "BOMB! THE BOMB IS IN BANGWOOD!" Vulkie yelled and dragged Valentina out of the office and the house.

Just in time,because when the two detectives left the house,the bomb was going to blow.

The blast let the two detectives fell on the lawn. "Well,Bangwood "went" with a bang!" Vulkie said and Valentina began to laugh at her joke. "You sure have humor,that's for sure. Now let's go see Eva Everest" Valentina said.

"Nah,I need some rest" Vulkie said and she drove Valentina home and then she went to her home,to only wake up the next day by a telephone call...

As Vulkie dropped her at home, Tina went in for a long bath and then, bed. She didn't sleep quite immediately, as she was thinking about all the clues they had gathered, and Eva's relation to all that.

How was she involved? Was she a victim? A part of the plan? The brain behind all of that? They would only find out after talking to her. It all had to be gradual, and done together. No solo flights on this case, Tina, she reminded herself.

After waking up, having a good breakfast and a look on her case files, Tina finally made the call to Vulkie's house.

"Heya. Wake up, girl.", she said, cheerfully. She always felt good after a good night's sleep. "Good news. Eva is going to sign her pictures today, in the Chinese Theater. What you say you get dressed and wait for me there, so we can pretend to be 'big fans'?

She laughed as her friend mumbled something on her end.

"I'll take that as a yes, and I'll be there in 20 mins. Be ready", she said, and hung up. She hoped they could get to speak to Eva as the place was as empty as it could get.

Valentina was right on time,just in front of Vulkie's house. As Vulkie looked out of the window,Valentina was standing outside,at her car door.

Vulkie got dressed up,took her .38 Colt from her father,checked the bullet chamber and cocked the gun,just in case.

As Vulkie stepped outside,a car screeched around and she saw a tommygun sticking outside the window. "Tina,get down!" Vulkie yelled and Valentina dropped herself to the ground. Vulkie carefully aimed...

One shot...
Second shot....
Third shot...

The third shot hit the driver in his arm and the car crashed in a nearby lanternpole.

Vulkie scurried towards the car,cocking her gun. Valentina followed Vulkie,making sure everything was fine.

As Vulkie was standing at the driver's seat,she was filled with rage. Vulkie shot the driver dead,until all the bullets were up. But she still kept firing the gun,not knowing it was empty.

"Vulkie,your gun is empty. It's over... You can stop now..." Valentina said.

Vulkie woke up from her trance. "Sorry Valentina. Still a leftover from my accident..." Vulkie replied (Read Josée for reference). "I thought he was still alive..."

Valentina looked worried. "That one thing you told me about,about you getting shot and getting 'visions'. You're stuck to it for your whole life,right?" Valentina asked.

Vulkie nodded.

"Unfortunately,yes..." Vulkie replied.

"Let's get to Eva. She's our only lead" Valentina said,as she stepped back in her car.

And so,Valentina drove to the Chinese Theater,as Vulkie thought of her dearly beloved Ace,who got shot down... (See Josée for reference)
