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
The one officer, who interviews Dylan, walks approaching Detective Barnes, and then whispers to him.“I’m sure that big guy over there said that this man was out last night.”“Heh! They are adjusting their fake testimonies, huh?” sneers Detective Barnes with a little chuckle.That detective approaches Dylan, and then sits right in front of him with a cold face.“Kid, you better not playing around with us. You will only make things difficult for yourself by giving false statements. A lie will always require further lies to cover the previous one.”It’s effective to change Dylan’s mind. But it doesn’t mean he is going to admit everything.“I, I did leave the house last night. So what? This is a free country, and the pandemic has long gone. Everyone can get out during the night.”“Then why would you lie to us? If you believe there’s nothing wrong with going out, you don’t need to lie,” argues Detective Barnes lowly. “Now it’s not about whether you left the house or not. Where were you du
Only now Sofia shows so much worry. So far, she really believed that the police believed in her innocence just because of that alibi.Despite the fact she never did it, she begins to feel the fear, not wanting to be prosecuted for something she didn’t do.“Then, what should we do now?” she mumbles with a lifeless face.“This is the reason I acted ignorant before. It’s better for you to also act ignorant. Note my word! You never know who blackmailed you until now. And you don’t have to lie about this, because you really don’t know that man.”Sofia is still looking so worry, but Boris just turns away, intending to get back guarding the gate.“Now, I’m worrying about your ex-husband. Indeed, he was the closest to Rodolfo Vega, more than you.”“Could it be him?” asks Sofia, impatiently rushing to catch up with Boris.“I don’t know.”Boris stops, and then takes a long breath for a moment. He remembers that Alex had an intention to give that gun to him last night, which is now making him st
That collision creates a loud dull sound, attracting some neighbors’ attention. They rush out of their home to see what’s going on. The driver who hits Owen Porter’s car looks so fine. It’s clear this is not simply an accident. A man with a mountain motorbike appears and stops near his car. The man rushes out of his car and hoops on the bike before slapping the rider’s back. “You okay?” “Just go!” They flee toward the same direction where Alex drives, and pass ahead him. Alex just keeps driving his car slowly, like he has no concern with that accident. The same with the old man Elijah, keeps looking straight to the front with his flat face. “Is this your work?” asks the old man. “Nope. And don’t ask whose work it is,” replies Alex, telling the old man to completely ignore that accident. When Alex is back to his house, he sees that the incident place has been flooded by people, two police cars, and one ambulance. It’s already dark with a little drizzle, but the place looks so m
He did offer that gun to Boris before. And he is now thinking that it was Boris who killed that man with the unaligned teeth.After waiting for a moment, the call isn’t answered. He tries to call again, but someone suddenly rings the bell in front of his house.After opening the door, he finds it is just Bella, the girl from next door.“Hey, how’re you doing?” asks Alex as a greeting.“Come on! Stop greeting me that way like we are that far apart,” replies the girl.“Well, would you come in?” Alex offers.The girl just waves her hand a bit with an uninterested face. “I just came to check on the situation of your house after what happened last night,” utters the girl as she observes the condition of that front door.“The door has already been fixed. Thank you for watching over my house while your boyfriend took me to the police,” Alex expresses it with a bit of sarcasm by showing his silly face.Bella squints her eyes. “I know it was because of my boyfriend. You don’t have to tell it t
Alex himself is really so annoyed right now, that he pays less concern to his surroundings. And Boris has no choice but to just follow him.“He must have conspired with that man this whole time, setting you in that affair to influence Sofia to divorce you. Maybe he decided to kill that man to shut his mouth,” Boris speculates.“I knew it was his doing,” utters Alex as his rage slowly grows to its peak. “He deliberately showed it to me, believing that his evil scheme won’t be revealed.”“Now, how are we going to tell this to the police,” mumbles Boris full of thought. “I don’t think it’s going to be that simple.”“You don’t have to! Like I said, I’m going to pay him myself,” says Alex before asking another glass of sour lemon juice to the bartender.Immediately, Dylan’s face turns so pale to hear such a threat and turns away. He rushes walking out of that pub, and gets back to his car.Alex drinks another of sour lemon juice, and it’s really effective to make his mood a bit better.“So
