SAM'S POV
'Stop the case or you'll suffer the consequences.'
I just shook my head when I remembered that text again this morning.
Hindi ko na kailangan pang alamin kung kanino galing 'yon. With the progress of my case dahil sa nangyari kagabi, I'm sure kinakabahan na sila ngayon and to solve their problem, they'll definitely start with me. At eto nga, I received their stupid move.
Threatening me.
Tsk, tsk..
They should've come up with a more smart idea than that.
Kasalukuyan akong nagmamaneho ngayon papunta sa office namin. Kahit mga 2am na'ko ng madaling araw nakatulog kagabi, bumangon parin ako ng maaga because I have something important to do today. Never mind about my bruises.
Something na related sa text na 'yon.
Bukas na ang schedule ng hearing sa case na'to at naisubmit ko na ang report ko
Sam's POV A few hours had passed, I was just scribbling some note on my table when my phone suddenly vibrated inside my pocket. Leaning against my chair, I answered that when aunt Rose appeared on the screen. "Aunt--" "Samantha," I groaned at the mention of my first name. "Tumawag na naman sa'kin 'yong taong gustong bumili ng bahay mo and I already told them to talk to you himself. You're in your right age now anyway so ikaw ng bahala sa taong 'yon." I groaned again when I was reminded with that annoying buyer.
4 HOURS BEFORE THE KIDNAPPING......."Eto na ang lahat ng ebidensyang kailangan sa case ni Ms. Garcia, sir. I've already attached here the video with Frederico attacking his supposed victim last night.""Buti naman kung ganun, Javier. As always, maasahan nga talaga kita." He said with a nod without taking his eyes off at my report.Probably curious with it. Of course, sa hirap ba naman ng pinagdaanan ko kagabi, it should really be worth it to read."Judge Agustos. Siya' yong kapit ng subject sa batas kaya laging nadidismiss ang lahat ng kaso laban sa kanya."Agad itong nagtaas ng tingin sa'kin and looked at me in confusion."Are you saying na si Judge Roel Agustos ang tumutulong sa kanya?""Yes sir. Siya nga ang judge na'yon na laging naghahandle sa lahat ng trials ng subject so I traced the suspect's phone conversations and
Sam's POV'Kimber micro 9, a pretty standard, simple concealed carry and a light handgun...'I smiled when I was reminded with my new toy again, so happy and excited to use it. Kagagaling ko lang sa pagshoshopping ng mga kakailangan ko and I was walking towards my apartment now.Thanks to that bastard del Fuero. Nabili ko narin ang kailangan ko without spending any cents. Though that stingy bastard would surely pester me with how I spent his money, kevs! I'll just face him and his ire tomorrow.That if he'd even find out about me spending his precious money for some toy.My smile widened at that thought. Hindi naman masyadong matagal mamili ng mga susuotin ko, with the help of those sales ladies and a little instruction from me, nakapili agad sila ng mga work outfits na bagay sa'kin. Just simple but with class outfits and comfy as well if I want to kick some asses
Sam's POVI took a deep breath as I stared at the old two storey house from my car, feeling like I was suddenly out of breath just staring at it.Our old house..Good old memories started to creep in my mind but I quickly blocked those memories off my system. Now's not the time for that.Medyo papalubog palang ang araw so I can still clearly see the details of the house.Halatang matagal ng wala ng nakatira sa bahay na'to dahil sa masukal na garden nito and it's faded cream colored walls.Kahit masakit man balikan ang bahay na'to, this isn't the time to be weak and be bluer than my blackeye yesterday.If dad chose to hide his identity, then I think he had done that for a good cause. For us and for our safety. But given that he died with mom, then that means he failed his mission. And now it's my turn to know what was that file all about.
SAM'S POVI shook my head as I eyed the sign board na nasa harapan ng establishment.'La Café Mosses'Mosses.. So dumami na pala sila ngayon after ten years.. Buti nalang hindi nagmukhang mossy forest ang lugar na'to with its new name. In plural form.While smirking, papasok na sana ako when some familiar woman in delivery outfit got out of the door with two bags of foods in her hands. Though her long hair was hidden under her cap, I can still clearly recognize her."Suzanne?"That made her halted saka tumingin sa'kin with furrowed brows, but then smiled when recognition hit her."Sam!" She exclaimed saka dali-daling lumapit sa'kin, causing me to smile at her reaction.Happy to see her act like nothing traumatic had happened to her the other day."A
SAM'S POVThe moment I heard the 'ding' sounded, I quickly got out of the lift then headed to the secretary's office, ignoring those receptionists again. I was just about to push open the door when the other door beside me suddenly opened and then the laughing Liam appeared."Bye, Cameron boy! Say hi---Sam!" He exclaimed with surprised look in his eyes nang makita nya 'ko. Causing me to alarmingly turn to the two receptionists na agad namang tumingin sa'kin with malicious eyes.Probably wodering why this idiot had just called me in my first name. Oh no. Hindi nila dapat malaman na kilala ko ang gagong 'to!"Kumusta na ang case---""Konnichi wa, s
Sam's POVMr. Del Fuero's brow creases in confusions while gazing at me and then to the still glaring Enriquez."Kilala mo ang tarantadong 'to?" Naguguluhan nitong tanong sa'kin, causing Enriquez to growl at thatYes. No.Kahit gusto kong magtago muna and let them finish their spat, I think wala na'kong magagawa ngayon but to answer him."Not really. I just accidentally met him---""Nung naninilip ka sa cr ng mga lalaki."My eyes narrowed into pinprick at Enriquez' way when he snapped that.This shit! He really think na nambubuso ako ng mga oras na yon!"I am not, Mr. Enriquez! Hindi naman ako maniac para mambuso! Ang tindi mo naman talaga kung mambintang ano?! Bakit? Nakita mo bang sinisilip ko 'yang sa'yo?? I didn't right?! " Galit ko ng bulyaw rito.He just raised his dark brow while st
SAM's POV"Hindi ka dapat nakikipagbasagan ng ulo, Samantha. Hindi yan gawain ng isang babae.."I scowled when I heard him called me by my first name. He was just treating my bruised knuckles now, applying ointment onto it inside his study room."Stop calling me with that name, dad. It's Sam, ok--aw!" I cried out when he put some pressure to my knuckles. Probably making fun of me, dahilan para mapasimangot ako.And when I heard him chuckled, my eyes glared at him."Oh see? Yon pa nga lang, umiiyak ka na, Samantha. So don't even think that you're not a girl, okay? That name suits you better."My scowl deepened at that. He could really be bloody persistent if he want. Kakauwi ko lang from school or shall I say, sa pakikipagrambolan?A triumphant smile appeared on my face just thinking about those faces I've rearranged today. Good thing mom w
