“THE GREATEST CRIME”
00:00 (Accident)
"Mommy!", said young Keisha. She is on a road trip with her family. She is so happy and she's enjoying this. She is at the back seat, her father's the driver and her mother's on the passenger seat. This is their bonding every Friday. They'll fetch Keisha from her school and have a road trip, then they'll have fun until Saturday lunch.
Young Keisha is smiling widely. Well, that's her, being a jolly and a playful one. She is so cute and she's really a beauty just like her mom, and also, she's smart just like her father. "Daddy!" she shouted again. She laughed before saying this phrase, "I love you!"
These three words from her made her parents smile wide just like hers, although her parents can't tell her that this night is their last night on their town. "We love you too, baby K," they both replied.
Keisha laughed again. She shakes her head as the jolly music on their car's speaker plays. Her mother keeps on smiling while hiding the pain she feels right now. She never expected that their life would be like this. As a policewoman, she needs to be brave as she face every crime, but this one isn't a crime, it's just an ordinary problem by each family, so why can't she face this one bravely? Her father, a former Police Chief doesn't like her husband, a Police Staff Sargent. His husband is a farmers' son, and he's the only member of their family who graduated. Problems are problems, actually, they can solve their problem easily, but there's an only one conflict; Keisha's grandfather is the mastermind of an illegal drugs syndicate which her mother can't accept that's why she and her husband decided to leave this town without telling Keisha the truth. They resigned to their works in this town just to runaway to their problems.
Keisha's family sang in chorus. Smile on their faces can be seen. Keisha's jolly voice and a cheerful laughs can be heard. The family's unity and love is appearing. Later on, Keisha shouted not in a jolly tone but in a serious one, "Dad! Mom! Watch out!"
Too late, young Keisha.
Their car bumped at the tree near them. Their car's front glass shuttered into pieces. Keisha cried. She went to her mother's direction and checked her mother's pulse. Her mother thought her about this. She cried out loud when she knew that her mother doesn't have heartbeat anymore. She went to her father's, she did the same thing and gladly, her father have heartbeats. "Dad, wake up!" She did everything just wake her father. Luckily, her father woke up. "Dad! Thank God!" She hugged him and cry on his shoulders.
Her father hugged her back and said weakly, "I love you, baby. Take good care of yourself. We'll guide you 'til the end." Her father smiled for the last time. "Keisha Santiago, be brave, be strong. Goodnight."
"Daddy!"
Keisha cried again after realizing that her father died too. She blamed herself because of this. She never expected that in her young age, her parents will leave her. Young Keisha sighed. She stopped crying and tell herself, 'You'll never cry again. Never. Be brave, Keisha Santiago.'
A couple of minutes passed, someone got her attention. She looked at the man standing at the back of one of those trees near them emotionless. The man is smirking, he's happy because of what have happened.
'I'll catch you. You'll suffer!'
Keisha realized something, 'Happy endings exists... on a fairytale.'
Goodbye, young Keisha!
