Within two days, Ferran learned a lot about life in the forest and he also asked about the medicinal plants in their house. Henry explained to him that Tata Carpio, the old man who was furious with the policemen and authorities for unknown reasons, likes to collect herbs that are effective in various diseases. Henry also said that even though he was angry with him because he was a policeman, he still treated him.And after two days, he bid his goodbye to the people who treated him well. Hailey still did not want to let him go but he had to go back to town. People might be looking for him especially since he’s out of reach for two weeks.“You’ll come back, right?” Hailey asked while her tears were running down her cheek. In that little span of time, the little kid became very close to Ferran to the point that she doesn’t want to let him go.“Of course. I’ll visit if I have time.” Ferran assured her.“Bye-bye.” Hailey waved her little hand while Ferran was leaving the mountain.When he
“Let’s go to the station.”“What? No! You’re staying here until you recover.” Rouvie stopped him but he’s so hard-headed.“I’m fine. Let’s go.” He entered his bedroom and when he came out, he was wearing his police uniform.Rouvie heavily sighed, did nothing but follow, and did not dispute his friend’s stubbornness. Even before, Simeon was so stubborn and there was really nothing he could do about that.When they arrived at the station. Everyone was shocked every time they saw Ferran passing in front of them. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.“It’s true.”“He’s alive.”“He’s truly a cat with nine lives.”“Nothing’s new.”“Welcome back Ferran!” Someone shouted but he just nodded.“Nothing changed.”“Still arrogant.”He proceeded to the Chief’s office, knocked three times, and heard the word ‘come in.’ He twisted the doorknob and entered the office. He saw the Chief who’s talking to his telephone and when the Chief saw him in front, he froze but immediately recovered.“So it’
A lot of cases were finished but no one there is connected to what Ferran should know. While resting from the case he just completed, an idea entered his mind. “Sanchez,” he called for his partner who’s reading some reports. “Are you busy?”“Not really, why?”“We have somewhere to go. Come on.”“W-What? Where?” Ferran didn’t respond.When he reached his pickup car, they immediately got in and arrived at San Lorenzo University. They parked not so far from the university then got out of the car.“What---Why are we here?”“Just follow me, okay?” Sanchez nodded until they reached the back of the school. Ferran entered the forest first while holding his gun and then Sanchez followed while he also held his gun. They carefully feel the surroundings as they step.“What is this for? Are you going to kill me so you bring me here?” Sanchez asked jokingly as if it was funny.“Tss. Nonsense.” Ferran said while still watching around. Even in the daylight, it is really dark inside the forest becau
“Ferran!”+++Ticking of a clock, heavy breathing, dropping of blood, and blowing of the wind. Suddenly the sound of them quickened and repeated. Ferran was overturned by a memory. That was the voice from Sanchez. He immediately searched for his partner and he found him peacefully sleeping in the hospital bed and he found himself sitting on a single sofa near the window. He looked at his wristwatch and it’s already 9 PM.Then suddenly he remembered what happened inside that dark forest. ***While he was interrogating one of the fake hunters, Sanchez shouted his name and he felt Sanchez push him then he heard a gunshot. Sanchez almost screamed and there, Ferran found out that his partner had been hit by a bullet from the back. He did not hesitate to pull his gun and shoot the two behind them.The one who lost consciousness earlier and the other was Sanchez’s opponent who had two bullet wounds but they could have been attacked if Ferran had not preceded him. When he faced the last on
“B-Battle? What battle?” Ferran stared at Sanchez, feeling uneasy before he reacted a bit exaggerated just to take Sanchez’s attention away from that thought.“You’re awake! I thought you would never wake up. Wait for a moment, I will call the doctor to check your condition.” Ferran immediately stood up and left Sanchez to call the doctor.Sanchez is in good condition based on what the doctor said. He just had to stay for another day in the hospital for a blood transfusion. After that, he can go home and rest to quickly recover.“I’m sorry. I still insisted on what I wanted even though you stopped me.” Ferran sincerely apologized, feeling guilty of his stubbornness.“Don’t be sorry. I’m already glad that neither of us died.” Sanchez said and then asked something. “When I woke up, I heard you say some things? What is the battle you are referring to?” Ferran almost face-palmed when Sanchez asked about it. He thought Sanchez forgot what he said earlier but he didn’t.“Battle? Huh?” Fer
‘Hm... So she’s a professor.’ Ferran said in his mind while looking at the label of the canned goods in his hand then suddenly, he realized something.The guy’s voice! It seemed to be familiar. Senior Police Officer II Danryll De Vega! His new partner at present time.He looked at the last place where the two were talking earlier but they were no longer there. He tried to find them but he couldn’t so he just released a heavy sigh and quickly finished shopping for food.He was about to go out when he noticed the old woman who seemed to be having a hard time carrying the two boxes of groceries.“Excuse me. May I help you?” He asked.“Sure. Sure. Thank you.” The old woman gave him the two heavy boxes then they came out of the supermarket. The old lady pointed to the car where the groceries needed to be placed.When they got close to the car, the old woman’s grandson arrived just in time.“Granny, didn’t I tell you to just wait---oh Ferran,” Beltran said. “Thank you for helping my Granny.
When Ferran reached his house, he went straight to his room to change clothes. “Uncle! Uncle!” Blair shouted as she entered the room without permission. “Did you heard about the rape victim in the seashore?” She seems out of breath.“I just got from there.”“Oh. That’s so horrible. Did you have any leads on who might be the culprit?”“Blair,” He looked at his niece while buttoning his polo shirt. “Don’t involve yourself. It’s too early for you to be in this kind of mess.”“But I want to learn. You know that I easily get curious.” She looked around and saw something in her uncle’s room.“But—hey.” Ferran noticed that Blair was looking at his plans for the upcoming apocalypse in the future.“What are these, uncle? Are you… Are you working on something big?” She asked while holding the photos and reading the notes on the board. “2022? Apocalypse… What?”“I need to go. You might as well leave and go home.” He slightly pushed Blair outside his room.“Uncle, you’re a workaholic but not to
Gentle waves of the sea, cold wind that blew through his face, and the smell of the sea salt. Ferran awoke from a deep sleep and looked around the area. He was sitting in his pickup car’s driver seat, located at the end of the pier and facing the calm sea. He remembered what had happened to him inside the bar.“A dream?” He asked himself. “But what am I doing here?”He got out of his car and he felt the pain all over his body then he realized that it’s not a dream! He faced the side mirror of his car and saw his swollen wounds which he gained by beating the man with a tribal tattoo.The big question is, how did he get to that place? He does not remember that he drove there and he also doesn’t have an idea that he needed anything in that place.After a moment of thinking, the surroundings are getting brighter ‘coz the sun was starting to rise. Ferran chose to stay to watch the sunrise that he rarely does because he was too busy at work.When the sun was high, something significant ent
