Louisa's p.o.v;At some abandoned alley in the sete lagoas, Edgar, "Is this the place he asked you to come?" "Yeah, since there's no surveillance camera around here. He chose this place." I answered him while looking for that dealer. "Does he know that you're bringing a guy with you?""No, that's why you have to hide when I give you the signal, understand?""You don't have the artefact you bargained on. What are you going to do when he asks about it?""I'll make excuses."He nodded and asked, "What did you tell your friend before coming here?""I used the same excuse as yesterday. I said I'm going to hang out with you since it's been a long time." While I was looking at the only possible way he could come from, Edgar said, "It would be good if we're really school friends, right?"I punched on his shoulder and said, "How could you say that? we didn't study together, we're still friends. Remember that." After a while, I said to Edgar, "Go and hide. He's coming."The dealer asked a
FOUR YEARS LATERLouisa's p.o.v;I let out a yawn as I leaned back in my seat while looking at the report which I was holding in my hand. Raphael, "What is that?" "Autopsy report of my case I've been handling." "Why are you staring at it for so long? Where did you get stuck?" I sat straight and placed the report on the table saying, "It was mentioned that colourless liquid was found in the victim's body in an antifreeze system. When I gave it to the lab, they said it was ethylene glycol which poisoned her to death. I've investigated her parents, friends and her ex-boyfriends but they didn't have anything against her to poison her. I'm thinking about other possibilities for her cause of death.""I can't believe you are stuck in a case. Aren't you smarter than all of us here?""You don't have to say it like that. I'm like everyone else too.""Didn't you say she went to a bar before going home. Did you check the place? Since you said the poison was found in an antifreeze state. There
Louisa's p.o.v;While I was looking for information about the drug G-25, Eduardo came to my desk and looked at my screen asking, "Did you start with the work already?""Yeah." I answered while looking at the screen. "Can I sit?"After I nodded, he took a seat beside me and asked, "Didn't Gabriel say it's a new drug? How will you find it on the internet?" "I'm not looking for the G-25. I'm searching for the recent news on drugs. If there is any news like new drug cases or unknown substance cases filed already in some station. We can inquire about them and find out if we're looking for the same drug. If it was the same drug, the search will widen and we'll get many new leads for the drug." He nodded while saying, "Not bad.""Didn't you go to the harbour ports Gabriel mentioned?" "I have to." And continued looking at my screen. I turned the screen away from him and said, "I don't like when someone watches me while I'm working." He gave a smile and said, "Who said I'm looking at you
Louisa's p.o.v;At the police station, I dropped on the desk and thought about last night. I couldn't think of a way out of it. Yesterday was the first time I slept with him but I couldn't even feel happy about it. Ace wasn't someone who's involved with the drug. Ace was the one who's selling it. I'm not someone who follows ethics and morals to arrest whoever it is. But at the same time I don't side with the bad deeds. You can say that I'm neutral. Raphael tapped on my shoulder and asked, "Didn't you get enough sleep last night?" Last night? Please don't make me remember that. "Yeah, I was… I was watching a movie. Yeah. A movie." "I heard that you requested from the chief that you wanted to be relieved from the drug case. Was it true or just a rumour?" "It's true.""What happened?" "I'm not feeling well so I asked for a leave along with that request." He moved closer and checked the temperature by placing his hand on my forehead and said, "Looks like normal. Was it a cold?""N
Louisa's p.o.v;Ace woke me up from my sleep saying, "Louisa, wake up! Wake up, Louisa! Can you hear me? Wake uppppp!" I sprang up from the bed and stared at him while he was giving me nervous chuckles. I whined to him, "Why did you wake me up? Didn't you say yesterday that I can sleep all day today?""You can take a rest tomorrow. Today, let's go out." "What? I'm not coming anywhere with you. I'm going back to my sleep. Get out of my room." "Didn't you challenge me to win me over? I'm giving you a chance right here. Why aren't you taking it?" I let out a sigh and walked to the bathroom. When I tried to open the door, he asked, "Can I help you with taking a bath?" I showed him my middle finger and walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind. When I came out of the bathroom, I saw the bedsheets being folded and the pillows were arranged. While I was looking at it, Ace gave me a towel. "Why are you doing this?""If you let you do it, you'll take all day so I stepped forw
Louisa's p.o.v;When I woke up, I saw Ace looking at me. Why is he looking at me?I asked while rubbing my eyes, "When did you wake up?" He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear while saying, "a few minutes ago." "Then why are you still lying here?"I woke up from the bed but stumbled and fell back on the bed. My back hurts a lot! I bet he'll be laughing at me right now. Ace got up from bed and stood in front of me and lended me his hands while saying, "Let me help you." I held his hand and got up from the bed.He asked, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"After I gave a nod, he helped me to go to the bathroom. After I walked into the bathroom, I said, "I'll take care from here. And closed the door. Last night, i passed out while having sex with him. Today, I stumbled and fell on the bed. I hope he doesn't think I'm weak. When I came out of the bathroom, he held my hand and helped me to walk to the bed. Was he waiting outside the bathroom all these time? He helped me to sit on
Louisa's p.o.v;At the police department, After hearing a lecture for an hour, I came back to my desk and sat down. When I looked at Raphael, he was talking with Elisa. I'm embarrassed to talk with him after what happened in the morning. When I entered, I didn't greet him and walked straight to the chief office. I don't know how to talk with him. Eduardo took a seat beside me and asked, "I know why I got relieved from the case." "Why?""Because of Gabriel. I couldn't bear him at all. He always wants me to be at the scene but he doesn't come at all. He wants my every finding with a filed report. I don't know whether i have to find the people who are involved in the drugs or to write a report while sitting behind the desk. You know about him, that's why you didn't work in this case, right?" I laughed and said, "Actually, he's not as bad as you think. Do you know how many cases he solved on his own? Almost half of the cases were solved by him alone. Sometimes, he gets furious when h
Louisa's p.o.v;Raphael asked without an expression on his face, "What am i witnessing here?" "Raphael, I…" When i tried to walk to him, He said, "Stop right there.""Raphael…" "Don't talk to me. Do you know how shocked I am to see you with him? Is this the friend you talked about? Is this the guy who you slept with?"I nodded and stood still. When he tried to slap me, Ace held his hand to stop him from hitting me. I said to Ace, "Please, Leave." After Ace left, Raphael slapped me right across the face and asked, "Do you even know who he is? He's the Phantom gang leader. He's a Mafia. Who's wanted by the police. Us. You're supposed to arrest him, not sleep with him dammit!... Now i understand why you got relieved from the case, he's related to that case, right? Thinking about the things that happened in the past… how long have you known him?" "Even before I joined as a cop." "So it was all a lie. You were with him all these years and lied to me that you don't about him. Did yo
