Woman

last update Last Updated: 2021-06-17 20:17:38

Austin's POV

"You are alone inside and before entering the elevator, sir." He reported.

"What are you saying?" I asked.

"What is it, sir?"

"Nothing, I got it." I just answered him but still confused about who is that woman. I did not saw her face as she's still looking downwards while still talking to me.

I walk towards the room of Quianna, but peek first to see if she's with someone inside. Upon seeing that she's alone lying on her bed, I entered the room and checking the place.

"What do you want?" she said while facing her back on me.

"I just got a report that the assailant went in this hospital." I answered.

"What? Did you catch him?" she immediately asked.

"Not yet, but our team is tailing him now, you can hear good news later." I answered.

"About my offer, have you thought about it?" I asked to him.

"I am still not sure. I can ask help with my best friend." She answered.

"But he's not a police officer. I can help you legally." I am trying to convince her. Wait, that's what the woman said at the elevator a while ago.

"We can also do it by ourselves." She whines.

"She said I should convince you." A slipped of a tongue.

"Who's she?" she confusedly asked.

"Just someone I saw a while ago. She said I should convince you." I explained.

"How can you believe that woman?" she said.

"She vanished after she said that to me." she stares at me and look away.

"But, I still don't know." She answered.

"You have to do this job with me Quianna!" I still insist.

"Alright! I got it!" she yelled.

"Would you be the witness, Quianna?" I asked her again.

"Alright, I'll do it." she answered, and I just smiled at her.

"This is Dispatch 2, we found the inn where the suspect is. We are entering in." Aaron said through the radio.

"I have to go." I said to her.

"I'll go with you." She said.

"No, you need to rest first." I said to her.

"But…"

"No buts, I'll update you later." I said then grab her phone and call mine.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"This is my number, call me if anything happens." I said then give her the phone.

"One more thing." She said and I just looked at her.

"We must keep it a secret to Dylan." She said, I just nodded and left the room.

Quianna's POV

I don't know if this is a good decision or not, but I guess having a police officer on my side would keep me safe from the possibilities of being in danger.

Dylan would help me with anything, but I will only put him in danger if I kept him in this mission. I will not say it's my mission yet because I don't know why I am the one who's receiving these messages.

Looking at the latest message again, I think I should do my part here. I stand up and remove the dextrose on my hand. I immediately dressed up and slowly opened the door. When I made sure that no one will saw me leaving the room, I run towards the elevator and went out of the hospital. I ride taxi all the way to the columbarium and look where my father lies. I contacted the place that I wanted to open the place where the urn is located, and they gave me their permissions.

When I opened it, the urn is empty.

"Hello? Aina?" I said through a call.

"Yes, Quianna. What can I do for you?" she said jokingly.

"I want you to do something for me." I said.

"That's what I say, now spill." She said.

"Can I look at the reports when my father was cremated?" I asked her.

"Why do you need it?"

"The urn is empty, my father is not here." I said to her.

Dylan's POV

After the work, I immediately went straight to the hospital where Quianna is. But before I reached her room, I noticed that the door is opened ajar and seems like someone entered or exited from it. I run to look inside but no one is there, I call the nurses but they don't know where Quianna is.

"Quianna, where are you?" I said upon she answered the call.

"Sorry, I have to step out for a bit." She answered.

"Where did you go in your state?" I asked worriedly.

"Come on, I am doing good. I think my wound is already healing." She answered.

"But where are you?"

"I am at Aina's, just catching up." She playfully said.

"I said I should be the one who'll visit her but she said she wanted to go out." I heard Aina said.

"I'll come there, wait for me." I said.

"No, we'll be fine." Quianna said.

"Come on, it's been a while since I saw him let him be." Aina said.

"Then, it's final. I'll be there." I said then ended the call.

Why did she went to Aina, I think she did not went there just to have a good time.

*Phone rings*

"Dylan, how's Quianna?"

"She's fine, I am on my way to meet her." I said to Quianna's mom.

"Really? The columbarium called me they said that Quianna opened the shelf. Is there something wrong?" did she really do that?

"Sorry but I am not quite sure but I can ask her about it." I assure her.

"Don't ask her, I'll be the one who'll talk to her about it." she said.

"I got it. ma'am." I said then ended the call.

Why did she open it? did she got another message again? Ugh, that girl keeps on believing that nonsensical messages.

I arrived at Aina's place and the place is so messed up. The drinks are all around the place as well the as chips and the food they ate. Looks like she's been here hours ago.

"Look at this mess." I said upon seeing them laughing at each other.

"Oh, it's Dylan!" Aina exclaimed.

"Oh? Why are you here?" Yana said.

"I said I'll go here, right?" I answered them.

"Come here my handsome best friend!" Yana said then drag me towards her.

"Yah! Let go of him!" Aina said. This is really a mess.

"Aina, do you know that I've been caught in some crazy scenarios these days." Yana started.

"Are you sure you just didn't go crazy?" Aina teases.

"Come on, you have to believe me." Yana said. And I am just watching them having their drunk talks.

"I am receiving messages that some unfortunates will happened, then poof! It really happens in front of me." Yana explained.

"Are you hallucinating?"

"No, I am not! I clearly saw and witnessed all of it!"

"Then, what did you do?" then Yana became upset all of a sudden.

"I can't do anything." She answered.

"All of it happened in front of me but I cannot do anything to prevent or solve them." She continues.

"You are a human after all, you cannot stop the roll of fate." Aina explained.

"But the fate keeps knocking and I think I should open my door for it."

"Yana, opportunities are the only one you should let enter. What will happen to your work? Would you apply for resignation letter?" Aina scolds her.

"Oh right! I need to go to work! I can't do that! Not a chance!" Yana shouted at her realizations.

"See? You should look at reality, my best friend!" Aina exclaimed.

"You're right! I haven't thought about that." Yana said then release a deep sigh.

"You're so dumb! Decide one at a time, no one's chasing you." Aina last said then collapsed. She's so drunk. I looked at Yana who's still drinking alcohol, she looks so stress.

"Yana, are you alright?"

"If you're asking if I am drunk, I am not." She answered.

"Why are you drinking suddenly?" I asked.

"Suddenly? No, I just wanted to catch up with Aina. We saw each other ages ago." She explained.

"But why did you go to the columbarium?" I asked then she put down her cup.

"How did you know?" she asked, and I just stare at her.

"Oh, mom told you? Nothing, I just missed my dad." She answered.

"But you're just shot, still need to rest."

"I am good, I can now run, and work. Sir! Please don't fire me!" she suddenly shouted which makes us both laughs.

"I will not, don't worry." I answered to her.

"This will be the first and last time I will ask favor to you about work, Dylan." She said and look straight to me.

"Can you just cover me up at work if someone asks for me? I don't want to get fired." She said sadly.

"Why are you so afraid of getting fired? Your mother will pass to you your hospital." I asked.

"Dylan, I need to work and study hard for me to manage the company well. I can inherit the hospital but how can I manage it if I don't have any experience?"

"They why not work in the hospital directly."

"Let's just say I need connections." She said jokingly.

"Then, am I one of your connections." I answered her jokes.

"No, you are my foundation." She answered seriously.

"You are always there for me, helping me and even supporting me in everything I do. That's enough." She answered then smiled.

"Then, am I just stuck at being your friend?" I asked sincerely.

  • Be The Witness   Be The Witness

    Quianna’s POVI started driving quick beyond the maximum when Austin texted me the location of the accident. I was nervous, scared and even unstable at the same time, but I do not have the time to be weak. I thought I already overcame those struggles, Aina lived after that day, Austin also lived even though I am not still sure if he died in the other world. But Dylan, he do not have the right to feel comfortable or even relaxed knowing that there is no direct evidence, in the beginning. But now, Aina got another one, but her life became in danger, I do not deserve to be called as her best friend or even the one to receive those messages.I arrived at the location of the accident, and I saw a car parked in the middle of the road and somewhat little smoke was coming out from the front of that car. I quickly get off and run towards the driver’s seat to check if Aina was still there, but she was not. I was in mental breakdown, do not know what to think, my mind

  • Be The Witness   New Confession

    Quianna’s POVI stayed on the ground as long as I wanted, my tears were already dried because of the cold gusting wind of the night but I am still here on my knees. I looked up in the sky and it was dark grey in color, despite of the night being calm, I could still sense its gloominess. I slowly stood up as I decided to go back to the ward, I should be doing another plan of catching Dylan’s tail instead of sitting in this place alone and crying. I do not have the time to feel the pain, to feel the sadness, to feel the pain that both of us were having.It was all pointless.I walked towards the door and turned the doorknob slowly, when someone at the other side pulled the door and I forcedly let the door opened without me exerting any kind of effort. I stood firm as I looked of who could that person be. I smiled weakly when I recognized his cold face staring back at me. He slowly walked towards me and I was just waiting for him to arrive in front of m

  • Be The Witness   He Killed

    Quianna’s POVI sat on the couch here in the VIP ward where Austin was resting, I personally asked for this room as a private place for the four of us to talk about the plans. In this separated room from the others, as well as from the other wards, no one could ever notice the people who would go in and out from this place of the hospital. This is exclusively made for the family, a ward that all of the relatives could go whenever something happened- and now that I do not have any family now, I could use this to whoever I wanted.I looked on Austin and he was comfortably lying on the bed while sleeping. It is already past midnight but I cannot sleep. I have to think straight and plan my next move, the enemies would not stay still knowing that their mission of killing Austin, the thing that they expected will happen did not take place in this version of the parallel world.I heard pairs of footsteps from the outside and walking towards this direction. I quic

  • Be The Witness   A Reckless One

    Quianna’s POVThe clock struck on midnight and I am the only one staying in the house. Because of the conflict that our group made, every one of them has their own thing to be done, or to do just to save me in this hell. I was sitting on the cold tiled floor at the living room and leaning my back against the couch I am trying to fit myself in between the glass centerpiece and the long couch in this part of the house. In front of me was a huge transparent fiber glass window, but it was open halfway leading the cold evening breeze coming in as the white plain curtains were moving in the shadow. It was pitch black inside the house, I have been here since Aina left hours after Aaron and Jason did, she said that she has something to do for the case that he now has to leave.Not saying anything to me or even a hint, she left without turning back. I only kept on staring blankly, letting out deep sigh of worries and frustrations not only for the situation we are in but m

  • Be The Witness   His Death

    Austin’s POVI looked around the crime scene, just judging by the look of the room, I guess there had been a fight that leads for his demise. Aaron keeps walking around even if the only thing that he should be checking is the drawers of this table, I searched all of it, even the insides and under of the furniture, to check if there could be any secret compartment- but there is none. The forensics might also get the results from the prints they got in this room, Aaron is glancing over me and I realized that we got the conversation we are needing right now. I nodded at him and both of us went out from the room, stood by the end of the hallway and even look around checking for people who might eavesdrop from our conversation.“What happened?” I asked to him and leaned on the wall.“When Jason and I got in the room, he is already dead.” He answered to me.“Not that one.” I said and he looked at me.“What

  • Be The Witness   Only Witness

    Austin’s POVIt was a brief confusing moment for me, why the regional office would open that case again, and on top of that, it looks like a confidential and close investigation to me. She stares at me as I looked at her in my puzzled look, I do not want to any anything, as I might say something that I was keeping to myself- Yana’s case is not known to anyone, especially to the police force. As what Yana said to all of us, this case is extra special, not only that it does not have a direct suspect, but at the same time evidence are difficult to find.Child murderer, that is the name of the case in which Dylan was connected to. Based on the database, he is the victim of that crime but the name was telling something otherwise. His mother committed suicide but the only one who witnessed that crime was himself, Dylan- in which should be the witness not labeled as the murderer.“Why would that case resurface again?” I asked to her and she plai

  • Be The Witness   Cold Case

    Austin’s POVI am frustrated, that is for sure. I am mad to myself that I cannot accept the fact that Yana is saying the truth and probably the most plausible thing to do in this case. I left the house and decided to have my adventure on my own, just only this time. I need time to be alone and think of the possible ways to solve everything. I know parallel world is something that was not yet taken seriously and is still not normal in law and even in the society. I went back to the police station and they were looking at me, I am still not yet back in the force but I do not care on any of that. I will still go back in here, investigate like my badge was still active and order these juniors who has been slacking since Aaron got another case- and that was Yana’s.As soon as they saw me, they quickly moves and started to act like they were busy looking on those documents who were just nothing but empty papers piled. I walked towards them and stood firm as I ser

  • Be The Witness   Who will be the scapegoat?

    Quianna’s POVAina and I were only looking at him, he is totally out of his mind and he wanted to sacrifice the life of his daughter when he said that it is the sole reason why he is doing this study. I just cannot understand how his mind works, he initially wanted to save his only daughter and now, he is willing to give her up just to prove his theories. I looked on Aina and she was silently watching his own father being mindlessly rummaging through the files and looking like some crazy scientific man who gave everything up for his own discovery.But I wanted to correct my word for that, this is not his own discovery- he just stole it from my dad.I stood up and started walking towards the door, I cannot waste my time here watching and even babysitting some insane person, I need to know more or even everything about this place. I successfully went out but I felt that someone got the door behind me, I looked back and it was Aina. She smiled at me and nodde

  • Be The Witness   Her Father's Appeal

    Quianna’s POV\I looked again on the message and glance over to Aina sitting on the couch, how could I protect her when I just asked her to observe those people? I just let out a deep sigh and trying to rack my brains out to think the possible solution for it. I still believe these messages; I still want to believe in these things. I stood up and decided to go to the Sekai Organization, I noticed that she also stood up and followed me, I abruptly stopped and looked back to her.“You have to call Jason.” I said to her and she looked shocked.“Hey! I told you, I do not have anything to say—” I did not let her finish her sentence and showed her my phone.“You are dying.” I said to her and she went silent.“What do you want me to do?” she seriously said and put down my phone.“Do you want to go with me?” I asked and she smirked.“Of course.” She said and I
