ISANG malalim na buntung-hininga ang pinakawalan ni Red. Kanina pa siya nagmamaneho at nakakaramdam na siya ng pananakit ng likod at balikat. Ang kanyang kasama ay tinulugan siya at naghihilik pa.
Mas mabuti narin iyon kaysa mag-ingay ito. Mas komportable siya sa katahimikan.
Kung hindi lang dahil sa may-ari ng law-firm na kanyang pinagtatrabahuan ay hindi niya pag-aaksayahan ng panahon ang babaeng ito. The renowned lawyer, Anton Carlos Cruz, wanted to scout this careless and crazy woman. He can't even see anything special with her but he can't defy his boss.
Anton Carlos was a family by affiliation. Hindi na iba ang turing ng mga Sanford dito at sa pamilya nito. AC was his role model, he looked up to him. Not just because he received a lot of recognition for his dedication and skills, he respect the old man for his compassion and principle.
Red had the resources and capability to build his own firm or established his own office but he chose to work in his firm. He fancied working with him, AC was his mentor and his friend, though he was almost two decades older than him.
AC asked him to convince this woman to work with them. His reason traced back to history.
The late Prosecutor Peter Montgomery was Anton Carlos' friend and he had promised to look after Montgomery's illegitimate daughter. Naalala lang nito ang pangakong binitawan maraming taon na ang nakakalipas nang makita si Cameron Montgomery sa loob ng courtroom. Inalam ni AC ang nangyari sa buhay ng dalaga, and he wanted her to be part of their team.
She's the gofer of the firm she's working with, she does all the work that others won't do. Red shook his head in disagreement. Some lawyers have no pride.
Kung gano'n naman pala ang trato rito sa pinagtatrabahuan bakit hindi pa ito umaalis? Marami namang ibang firm at institution na puwede nitong pag-aplayan. She won some cases and also lose some, gano'n naman talaga, you can't win all the time.
He took a glance at her direction when she purred in her sleep. Nakabaling ang ulo nito sa kanyang direksiyon habang yakap-yakap ang katawan na para bang lamig na lamig.
Itinigil niya ang sasakyan sa gilid ng daan at hinubad ang kanyang coat. Itinakip niya iyon sa katawan ng dalaga. He doesn't like her kind but he still had his conscience.
Three types of person that he doesn't like, a liar, a reckless and a crazy person. She may not be a liar but she's reckless and crazy and she's a walking danger. Napahamak siya sa loob ng café dahil dito, nahulugan ng halaman nitong cactus nang puntahan niya ang bahay nito upang kausapin tungkol sa proposal ni Anton Carlos at ang huli ay inanunsiyo nitong fiancée niya ito. She even broke the mug, his last memory of her. Those incidents happened in a span of one week.
Gagamitin niya ang mga dahilang iyon upang mapapayag itong magtrabaho sa kanila. He won't fail Anton Carlos.
Muli niyang itinuon ang pansin sa pagmamaneho. Pagod na rin siya at nagsusumigaw ang kanyang katawan ng pahinga. Ilang araw rin siyang hindi nakakuha ng maayos na tulog dahil sa arson case na hinahawakan. Buo ang kanyang paniniwala na hindi ginawa ng akusado ang pagsunog ng shoe shop.
Lapnos ang katawan ng babaeng sinasabing may gawa ng sunog. Halos hindi narin nito mapakinabangan ang katawan dahil sa napinsalang likod ng tamaan ng bumagsak na kisame. She said that she didn't cause the fire and he believed the young woman.
Ngunit ito ang idinidiin dahil sa ginawa nitong pagsaboy ng gasolina na nahagip ng CCTV. Nakita rin sa camera si Francisco Perez ilang minuto bago mangyari ang pagsunog, wala ang katawan nito sa mga nasawi at bigla nalang naglahong parang bula ang matanda.
Napag-alaman niya mula sa kasera ng apartment na dati nitong tinutuluyan na nagmamadaling umalis ang matanda nang araw ring iyon na nangyari ang sunog na kumitil sa buhay ng anim na tao.
