Whether it's paranoia, or xenophobia, whatever you want to call it. What is clear is that Nancy's excessive worry has affected her fat husband. “Aren’t you going too far with that accusation?” grumbles Ronnie the fat man. “Do you think I’m stupid? I saw it with my own two eyes. The kid was unconscious when he took her inside. Why don’t you just call your nephew, and ask him to check on that man’s house.” “But…” “There’s nothing wrong with being alert before regretting it too late! Go call that cop now, and tell him to check on that house!” Ronnie still looks confused and annoyed, not so sure what to do. However, the wife keeps forcing him to call his nephew. It’s not about he believes her or not. He simply wants her to just shut her trap, hence the fat man finally makes a call. “Melvin! This is me, Uncle Ronnie.” [Yes! What is it, Uncle Ron? I heard that your wife had problems at the convenience store. Is it true?] “Well, I didn’t know about that. Anyway, we’ve got an issue he
Those new rookies walk nonchalantly approaching that house, with Nancy still observing them from behind her curtain.Melvin seems so curious with the Mercedes S600 Guard parked in front of Alex’s house. He often observed the condition of Alex's house every time he passed this neighborhood. But this is the first time he sees that car there.“Looks like a new car,” he mumbles as he walks toward Alex’s house.Wesley chuckles a bit with a disbelieving face, noticing how contrasting the look of that new car is, compared to the appearance of Alex’s house.“Is that his car?”“I’m not so sure. My girlfriend told me that he is jobless now,” utters Melvin.“But it looks so new. There's no way he could borrow someone else's car. If it were me, I wouldn't let anyone else drive it. This is the kind of car usually used by important figures such as governors or prime ministers.”“It seems fishy, isn’t it?” replies Melvin rhetorically. “The only thing I can think of is that maybe he is a driver. But
He then issues a specific command to turn off all the lamps, which only himself knows the keyword.“Mancik lah lalu, matian lampu!”He then counts in 3 seconds. Within 2 seconds, all the lights went out again. And in the third second, he opens his eyes.Melvin actually heard Alex’s voice spelling that keyword. And he is now a bit shocked and looks so clueless due to the sudden darkness. On the other hand, Alex immediately rushes in the hallway toward that staircase.It’s not actually too dark inside that house. But Melvin’s eyes haven’t been adapted to that sudden change, while Alex doesn’t find any issue with that situation.Alex sees Melvin’s hands holding the gun as that cop has just reached the first floor. In the next split second, he grabs that gun with his left hand and directs it away from himself. At the same time, he sends a strong right at Melvin’s face.BAM!That one catches Melvin off guard. The gun is snatched off of his hand, and blood starts dripping on the floor.“Aaa
From Persian black swords, Japanese wakizashi, kunai, and shuriken, to several types of firearms are on set on the wall.One thing that Melvin doesn’t realize is that all of them are antiques items, starting from a Turkish ceremonial jeweled rifle set, King Tut's daggers, a British Victorian Webley, and several types of World War II pistols.“Holy shit! What is he? An assassin freak?”He then notices three cases and two weapon cloth bags under the table. They are made specifically to encase those sets of items.He puts all of those antique items into those cases and takes them outside.“What are you doing?” asks Wesley as Melvin gets out of that basement.“What about that man? Have you cuffed him?”Wesley shakes his head cluelessly.“Stupid! You better cuff him now before he starts becoming a trouble,” issues Melvin as he walks toward the front door by taking all those weapons.Both Nancy and her husband are still patiently waiting for the development of that issue. As Nancy sees Melv
At the moment, all Alex’s weapons are spread on the table in front of Detective Porter, with the wakizashi and the Persian black sword leaning against the wall.Unlike Melvin, this detective knows so well that those weapons are indeed an antique collection. Yet, he still sees Alex as a real criminal.As Tyler seriously follows the interrogation being conducted by Melvin and Wesley, that detective occupies himself with Alex’s two old karambits. Compared to the other antique weapons, these twin karambit look so cheap and modest, and he believes they are not worthy enough to collect.“Do you know what this weapon is?” he asks rhetorically, trying to draw Tyler’s interest.Tyler just shakes his head curiously.“This is karambit, a unique dagger of silat practitioners.”“Oh, silat practitioners? I’ve seen some of them in Y0utube. There is also that gore movie which is mainly played by silat masters too.” Tyler affirms, but with a bit of a skeptical face as he tries to take a closer look at
On the other hand, Sofia is having a serious argument with the old Georgina. Not actually her, but it’s just Georgina with her nagging. Sofia herself never had any intention to share about Elly’s current situation to that aunt of hers. But Georgina happened to follow Sofia’s conversation on the phone, and realized there’s something wrong happening with Elly. “I told you, you shouldn't let that man meet your kid. Yet you let him take Elly out this long!” “This has nothing to do with you,” Sofia ignores while walking with stiff steps toward the front door. “What do you mean this has nothing to do with me? Am I no longer Elly’s grandmother anymore? I’m the one who always takes her to school, and picks her up. I prepare for her breakfast, nurturing her with good nutrition, helping her to take a bath and get-changed. I take all the job as a mother more than yourself,” argues Georgina. “And I did pay you for that! Did you think I would simply give you money just for you taking a role as
Boris stares at the driver coldly, and the driver just awkwardly smiles due to the guilt. “I’m sorry! It never came to my mind that there would be someone who would do such a dirty and terrible thing,” utters the driver before he restarts driving the car.“Is that what Georgina did to my mom?” asks Sofia impatiently.“I never saw it. I only heard your dad having an argument with her in the toilet,” replies Boris.“So, you didn’t see it.”“I saw her holding the bottle for the humidifier in her hand. She was denying that time. But try to think about it! Why would she bring that bottle to the closet? Just bringing that bottle to the toilet is already so dangerous. That bottle can’t be contaminated either.”“What did the doctor say?” asks Sofia.“Your dad never shared this issue to outsiders, not even to the doctor. One thing for sure, your mom died with seriously infected lungs. And your dad kicked Georgina out soon after your mom died.”“How could she…” grumbles Sofia as she starts rumm
Detective Porter just walks out nonchalantly, like he doesn’t care in the slightest bit. After all, it was the mistake of those two rookies, and it has nothing to do with him. All he has done so far was only taking the advantage to question Alex while he had the chance.Not long after Detective Porter leaves that room, Sofia appears and immediately starts a ruckus.“What the hell did you do this time? I gave you a chance to take her out with you, and you already brought her to this place on the first day!”“It’s not my fault!” argues Alex with a tired face. “He was asleep, so I took her to my house. And those stupid cops thought that I was a child kidnapper. I just hope you weren’t the one who framed me and then called the police by telling them I kidnapped Elly.”“What was that? I gave you a chance to meet Elly, purely as an act to respect your role as her father! How could you accuse me of doing such a dirty thing?”“You’ve done it once!” argues Alex coldly. “What's going to stop yo
