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
The money he got from Sofia was only $200k. And here that man is asking to pay him $250k.Meanwhile, the money in that envelope is only $50k. That’s all he prepared for this meeting. He doubts if that man will be satisfied with just that amount of money.He looks around him, finding that the place is really so quiet. It’s easy for him to think about killing that man here, in this quiet bay. But as soon as he grabs that old Beretta 92, his hand is shaking.He realizes that killing someone is not as easy as pulling the trigger. It’s a bridge he never took before. There are so many things coming to his mind, so many bad scenarios that would happen if he crosses that bridge.He is taking too long in dilemma, making the man with the crooked and unaligned teeth impatient.“Come on, man! What takes you so long? It’s getting cold out here!”That man starts worrying that Dylan doesn’t have any intention to give him the money, and might be thinking about running away. Hence, he forces his way t
He then packs all his weapons and takes them out. He doesn’t forget to leave his warning, that he is going to sue those two rookies soon. “Can you take me home?” he asks Reuben as they walk out of that office. “You’re really broke, huh?” “You don’t use your own car to the police station when a cop cuffs your hands, stupid!” replies Alex as he makes a phone call to someone. [Boris here!] “Boris, I need your help!” [What is it? Are those cops really bothering you?] “That’s not it! I need you to do something else for me. Could you check the glove compartment in Sofia’s car? I believe that I hid my Beretta 92 there for safety. If you find it, just keep it for yourself.” [Hohoo, how generous you are] “Well, it’s not mine to begin with.” [Okay, I’ll check it out soon] And so, Alex turns off the phone, and enters Reuben’s car. On the other hand, Boris is currently checking out the glove compartment of Sofia’s car based on Alex’s request. But he doesn’t find the gun there. “Could
That same morning, Detective Porter visits the EightG Biscuit head office where Alex is currently working. But of course, he is not very well received, because this one detective has also gotten in Harry Gaines’ nerve even before this.The receptionists in the lobby have also been quite familiar with his face. He has been such a nuisance, and Harry Gaines has also given them notice to never accept him.“Do you have any warrant?” asks one of the receptionists with a sour face.“I just want to have a meeting with your CEO,” utters Detective Porter.“With all due respect, how many times do we need to make it clear to you, Mr. Porter? Unless an official letter from the police requires him to accept all the interrogations you would ask him, Mr. Gaines will never open the door of his office to you.”“I’m not here for Harry Gaines. I know you have a new CEO right now, and I just want to have some talk with him. This is important,” explains Porter.The two receptionists look at each other wit
Dylan gets the chance to see the gun before Detective Barnes puts it back into the evidence envelope. His face turns pale as he recognizes the gun. The other cop who accompanies Detective Barnes notices the change in Dylan’s facial expression. He just smiles, thinking that Dylan is scared because the gun that Detective Barnes brings with him. “Don’t be afraid, young man! We are cops,” he says. “Oh, sure!” replies Dylan curtly, closing it with his awkward smile. When they reach 14th floor, Dylan decides to get out, canceling his intention to get to the bottom floor. He recognizes the gun clearly, and knows that those cops must be investigating for the murder that he did. Detective Barnes himself is looking curious at him. Before going down, he believes that Dylan set his destination to the bottom floor, but he suddenly gets out when it’s still on the 14th floor. “What’s wrong with him?” he mutters. “Why I feel like he is scared of something?” “He must be avoiding us because of hi
