Really Dirty Business CHAPTER LXI: DESPERATION
More phone calls…“So, The Mastermind knows that The Fixer is alive?””Yeah, but he doesn’t know that bloody much about it. Seems like someone tipped him off and now they’re holding that fucking fracas over my head!””Alright, I would need to warn The Fixer but he was very specific with his instructions that I am not to call him. He needs to contact me first.””Damn it, so our plan ain’t gonna be worth shit because of this? Is that what you’re saying, brother?””No, I believe we can still use this to our advantage. Just give me time and don’t rock the boat. You need to give them the illusion that you’re still loyal to them.””Well, I told them that I’ll spill the beans if they keep rubbing me the wrong way.””That’s fine since they do perceive you as the rebellious powder keg that no one can control. My only advice is you stay put and try to get as much info as you can without them being suspicious.””And what about you? If he even gets a damn whiff of what you already know brother…””
Really Dirty Business CHAPTER LXII: JOURNALS
Today, we are going to go through journal entries…Just got the call from The Major. And I find my confidence floundering. God, please I don’t want to go through the same thing I had to do two years ago. Admittedly, I would do it all again to save the man I love but I can’t bear to break his heart again.
Really Dirty Business CHAPTER LXIII: DISCUSSIONS
In a patient’s room somewhere in a far-off medical facility… “…and he’s been sedated for more than a week now. Most of his skin grafts and wounds have already healed enough for his bandages to be removed. Beyond that, we only know this John Doe as the last patient accepted into the clinic while the good Doctor was still alive.””Yet, there are staff members who mentioned that he came in a day after Doctor Mendez passed away."”I’m sorry but whoever those are, they are mistaken. I was the one assigned to this case personally by our Head Doctor himself. I took the call the night before the supposed kidnapping and murder of my employer.””Alright Doc. Just warning you that you may be held in contempt if your story doesn’t match the records we find.””You can check all our records and you will see that everything is as I say. Are we done?””Yes we are and thanks again. And if I ask an affidavit from you about your statement?””I will willingly give it. Please, this way, Officer… what was
Really Dirty Business CHAPTER LXIV: HIGHER-UPS
"I'm glad to finally meet you, Detective Carlos. My husband has told me so much about you.""I can very well say the same about you, Madame. Although the Major has been quite inadequate in describing how lovely you are. And please, you can call me Sarge or Marc.""Of course, and I am quite flattered, Sarge. Please, feel free to have breakfast. Coffee or tea, perhaps. We also have chocolate, fruit juice, or milk if you prefer any those.""Is that Barako coffee? Or Benguet?""Oh, a coffee connoisseur. I am truly impressed. And it's the latter, Sarge.""Well then, I will indeed have some. Thank you.""My lovely wife, I do realize you really want to join us as we work here but I'm afraid it involves topics that you find unfavorable and even unsavory.""Admittedly, that thought has come to mind. As I said, I prefer to leave the running of the Midnight Resort to you and my son while I remain a figurehead. So yes, I will take my leave later and do my work elsewhere in the house.""No need bel
Really Dirty Business CHAPTER LXV: CONFRONTATIONS
The Major was sitting silently in the limo with the Detective as he listened intently to the recording that he received on his phone via a pair of wired earphones. Unfortunately, he still can't get the hang of Bluetooth earplugs so he's happy with his "Jurassic" setup.Like the longtime friend who he's riding with, they follow the old adage "If it's not broke don't fix it" so they are quite content to just stick with what they're familiar with. And the women he could hear in the recording are very familiar females that were both close to her heart. They are, after all, family. The thing is, this is the kind of information that he cannot just release to just anyone within his circle of close contacts or even trusted family members. Yes, The Detective can definitely listen to this but not the last member of the Trinity. For now, he needs to be kept unaware of this. No telling what that loose cannon would do if he found out about this fact."Anything interesting from our Stalker slash H
Really Dirty Business CHAPTER LXVI: DIALOGUES
Let's go back a few weeks in the past, shall we dear readers?The knife that the assassin threw at the stranger inside the motel room missed its mark. Thing is, he expected it to since he knew how fast and agile his attacker is.The man sitting in the dark part of the room shoots while in the middle of standing then sidestepping the throwing knife that was aimed at his heart.In the end, neither one of them made a mark on the other. But then again, that could be exactly what they were both aiming for."Hello there, Reuben.""Well hello to you too General Agpalza. You seem a little out of place considering your damn high government position and where you're currently at right now.""I would think that after so many missions, you would have figured out who was actually giving you your assignments.""Well, that's the thing, Sir. Curiosity kills the cat and I want to stay alive. Learned that lesson the hard shitty way a couple of years ago.""I appreciate whatever it was that caused you to
Really Dirty Business CHAPTER LXVII: THE PLAN
"Here is the final guest list Madame. Please go through it for a final check.""Yes, everything is in order. And the rest of our arrangements are all a go despite the very short timeline?""Madame, your business's anniversary party have all been celebrated in the same month without fail. I doubt that our suppliers, sponsors, and attendees will not be aware of your upcoming celebration.""Well, we have given them hints of the party since last month so yes, it would be quite a shame if they've not prepared themselves for this special occasion.""To be honest, I am quite impressed at your courage to continue with your annual event despite the problematic situations we're facing at the Resort.""Darling Rina, if we don't hold this party, we will be considered weak, not just by our allies but our competitors. And I have no intention of backing out of our responsibilities despite the problems that we're currently facing.""Very true, my dear friend. Besides, you seem to have included your pl
Really Dirty Business CHAPTER LXVIII: NIGHTMARES
All her dreams about that fateful night are very vivid. They are so vivid that she hardly can tell what was real and what was a dream. In all cases, she would wake up wondering if she even dreamed it at all. Or maybe it was just her brain taking an unwanted trip to the past...Tonight she gets to sleep in what Belle unofficially called "her room" since it was her dearest friend's bedroom when she was still single and her father was still alive. It was also the place where they would spend tons of fun time together just being female teenagers who have a rebellious streak.Admittedly though, Belle hid hers well. Unlike she, who threw caution to the wind if it involved having her one true love to herself...And that usually happened in this very same room. If walls could talk they would definitely have much to say about the "secret times" that she and Rube had together in his sister's bedroom. Of course, this would mean that Belle would have to go to another part of the house so they can
