“Ferran,” someone called his name so he lost his deep thoughts. “Finally you’re here. We need to get the statement of the rape victim, Georgia Ramos. She’s now conscious according to the nurse who’s in charge of taking care of her.” Seconds passed before he recognized the man who’s in front of him. He is SPO1 Rouvie Sanchez, Ferran’s partner, and friend. He doesn’t care about Alfarez and Ferran’s issue so he casually deals with everyone but of course, he is really close to Ferran. “Okay. Let’s go.” He gets his cap and leather jacket before he leaves his cubicle. PO2 Jennifer Jimenez smiled at him as they passed by the front desk but he didn’t give her at least one glance because he went straight out of the station and got into the police car. SPO1 Sanchez grinned at him while starting the car’s engine. “It looks like PO2 Jimenez really likes you but you don’t even give her some attention. Haha. Poor Jimenez.” SPO1 Sanchez said and laughed a little. When they reached their dest
Ferran was taken care of by the nurse when SPO1 Sanchez arrived at the hospital. He got a few scarce but he barely noticed it because he was thinking of something more important.“Ferran,” Sanchez exclaimed when he saw his wounded friend. “What are you doing here? The hospital reported about the incident and Georgia was---”“Murdered,” Ferran stated.“H-How—” Sanchez was interrupted by someone who had just arrived.“You are the last to be seen when the incident happened. Maybe you were involved?” SPO2 Alfarez suddenly appeared somewhere and looked at him suspiciously. He could not help but answer it with condemnation.“Are you accusing me? Hah! Unbelievable.” Ferran couldn’t believe that old Timotheus used to think that way. Really annoying. He clenched his fist and stopped himself to punch Alfarez.“Alfarez, you may forget that it is unreasonable to accuse someone without sufficient evidence. Watch your words.” A serious reminder from Sanchez that weighed down the aura between them.
Ferran was eating his breakfast when his phone rang inside the bedroom. When he picked it up, Sanchez was calling.“What’s up?”“Are you going to work or not?”“Maybe? I don’t know. My whole body aches and I’m a little bit dizzy, you know?” Ferran answered.“Well, you don’t have to go to work today. You should take your day off.” Sanchez’s worried voice could be heard on the other line.“Alright.”“And I have something to tell you tomorrow.”“What is it? Can’t you tell me now?”“I want to tell it in person and it’s confidential. Someone might hear our conversation so I’ll better end this call.”“Okay.”Since Ferran had nothing to do in the afternoon, he thought of cleaning the whole house. Throw away what should be thrown away, fix what should be fixed, clean up what should be cleaned, and when he was arranging some things on a bookshelf, he saw an upside-down photo frame.When Ferran looks at it. It was a photo captured almost 15 years ago. Hot tears fell on his cheeks while staring
“Gut feeling eh?” Sanchez asked as if he couldn’t believe his friend’s answer.Ferran didn’t respond and he could sense that maybe Sanchez doubted his innocence. Timotheus, in Simeon’s body, deceives everyone around him. So, technically, he’s not innocent in the first place.In their cubicle, Sanchez started discussing the incident last night at the hospital.“The blood found in your military knife…” Sanchez shook his head while thinking that something’s really off, before continuing. “... contains blood from a dead person.”“W-What? How did that happen?”“That question also bothers me. It’s so strange, right?” Sanchez leaned on the backrest of his swivel chair then double checked the file. “That means one thing...” They looked at each other as if they were thinking the same exact thought.“That man changed his identity.” Ferran mumbled but enough for Sanchez to hear.“This is very dangerous for you because he’ll hunt you down.”“Yeah. I know. You don’t need to remind me. It was as if
Trestan and Cally were waiting outside the operating room where Timotheus was being operated on. Cally was crying while Trestan was trying to calm her. He was so scared because of his father’s condition but stabilized himself for his sister’s sake. This scenario has been happening before but he’s still nervous.Trestan was stunned for a bit when someone tapped his shoulder so he looked at it. It was Simeon Ferran who was full of bandages. Trestan recognized the man but chose to just ignore him ‘coz he felt a little uncomfortable by Ferran’s presence. Ferran sat down next to Trestan, and just stared at the operating room’s door. Waiting for some good news about Alfarez’s situation.“Daddy will be okay, light?” Cally asked while sobbing.“Yes. He’s strong. He’ll survive. We’ll just have to wait for him to recover, so…” he paused, then wiped her sister’s tears. “... you need to stop crying ‘coz daddy might hear you and he’ll be sad.”Ferran couldn’t help but smile at what he heard from
Ferran hid behind the bushes near the pool where a crime will happen soon. It is such a waste if he will not do anything to save a person who sooner or later, will die. Besides, he already knew, why not change the outcome? He isn’t God who can do everything, but a chance was given to him. A chance that will make a difference from the original plot. He can’t miss this chance. “Stop acting like a kid, Bia.” “Is it true?” Bia asked and a tear fell on her cheek. She’s totally drunk. “You have someone else? How about me, Vinno? What am I to you?” “What if I have someone else? Don’t act like you really love me ‘coz the truth is… you’re not.” “What?” “Ria told me that you agree to marry that b*stard Eric and sooner or later you’ll break up with me.” “What kind of cr*p are you talking about? Is that the reason why you’re seeing someone else? Hm? Vinno?” He looked away, and couldn't look at his girlfriend’s pleading eyes. “That’s bullsh*t!” “I fell out of love, okay?” Vinno said inse
“Yes, we argued but I left her after that to get a drink to sober her up. When I went back, that waiter was lifting her body and I even helped them.” Vinno explained himself.“What about you Ms. Noreen Amato? Her sister, Ria D’Aboville, told us that you are very angry with Ms. Bia D’Aboville which could be the reason for you to murder her.”“What!?” Noreen can’t believe Ria’s statement. She looked at Ria with unbelief in her eyes. “I admit. I’m mad at her and thinking of erasing Bia from this world but---““Noreen…” Vinno looked at her with doubt.“See? She’s the culprit all along! She wanted my sister to die! You should put her to jail.” Ria said with anger. “You! B*tch. How dare you? My sister is your best friend! What a shameless b*tch!?”“Will anyone please hear me out first? I will never do that! And for your information, we settled our issue before I left her sitting in that sun lounger. Maybe… Maybe she tried to commit suicide for some reason. I don’t know.” Noreen was tremblin
“Did you contact your uncle?” Brenda Ferran, Blair’s mother asked.“Yes, mom. He’s on duty so he’ll probably be late for our dinner.”“Let him be. It’s work.” Simon Ferran said while driving their car to Gomez residence. Every two months, they arranged a family dinner with Gomez’s.“Your brother is such a workaholic. When does he plan to get married?” Brenda asked curiously.“When the crow turns white.” Simon smirked and Blair chuckled.“He’ll be alone forever.” Blair said.“And that’s what he chose.” Simon added.Gomez’s family was waiting for them at the front door of their house. “Good evening.” Rhiane Gomez, mother of Alexa, greeted them sweetly.“Where’s Simeon?” Alexander Gomez, the head of the Gomez’s family, asked them.“He’ll be late.” Simon answered.“Oh. What a busy man. Haha. Maybe, we should wait for him before dinner starts. It’s still early. Let’s go inside.” Alexander warmly welcomed them.“I’m sorry for that.”“Nah. It’s not a big deal. Besides, he’s part of your fam
