CHAPTER 55

Back to HOLLAND’S P.O.V

And the day of the trial begins.

Sebelum Kimmy made sure that the Ongs and Allana is well taken care of untuk tidak menimbulkan kekacauan. Allana sangat licik, tapi tidak selicik Kimmy when she gets a new toy to play with. Setahu saya Allana sudah sedia maklum that Kimmy is a Bestian dan Kimmy juga telah memberi amaran kepada Allana sebelum kejadian that Saturday. Kalau tidak silap saya masa New Year’s Eve party. Tapi Allana sangat keras kepala. Look where it got her now.

Sempat lagi Kimmy mengirim saya video keberadaan Thania’s family and Allana and her parents’ yang she recorded from a drone.

Saya menyipitkan mata separuh mati cuba membaca the name of the luxury boat.

“The Jewel of Kafka…” Sydney terkekeh.

“Kafka?” Saya mengerutkan dahi. “Kleo? Karter’s wife?”

What does Kleo got to do with dorang Allana?

Sydney just shrugged.
“Macam kau tidak tau Kimmy kalau sudah tag-team sama Kleo.”

Uh. Ok. Two of the most deadliest women in the family.

Then the video menampakkan Kleo and Karter kissing amid the sunset in the middle of the ocean.

“Why are we watching this again?” Apa bah Kimmy ni?

“Sabar bah, Hol.” Sydney bilang.

Sakit sudah otak saya dilanda segala misteri ni. Sydney’s not saying anything about Sel’s case, Damien’s mouth is zipped and the only thing yang saya tau adalah Selena’s late father, was Damien’s client dan Selena adalah anak kepada CEO of a banking group who died in a horrific accident with his wife. Kemalangan di mana kereta yang dipandu Gerald Anderson bertembung dengan lori Petronas di malam hujan yang sangat lebat. Lori Petronas yang berada di lorong yang bertentangan tersasar di bahu jalan dan terbabas ke lorong lawan. Dan malangnya bertembung dengan dua buah kereta. There were no survivors.

Setakat itu saja Damien bagitau. Then macamana saya mau gali information about Sel pun mulut dia sudah kena gam. Sikit lagi saya mau call Ronald my PI tapi macam Sydney sudah tau ni. Sydney warned me against it. Kalau Selena is going to win the case, I have to be dumb and stupid. Fine.

Mata saya tertumpu pada orang-orang dalam the video.

Allana sipping her wine – I think wine lah tu with leisure. Begitu juga dengan Thania’s parents and Allana’s parents.

Wah, berholiday pula dorang?

“Where are they? Enjoying themselves pula oh kan.” But I know Kimmy mesti ada valid reason. 

“Off Madagascar. Reunion Island.” Sydney terkekeh geli.

WHAT?! Patut pula dorang santai saja. If they dare to escape, siap jadi santapan ikan jerung terus dorang.

Saya tengok lebih dekat.
“They look…”

“Drugged?” Sydney masih terkekeh sana. “You know the Bestians. But Kafka is the worst.”

Tsk. Asal dorang kena bawa jauh dari KK dan tidak mengganggu ketenteraman kami, I don’t care.

Sydney menepuk bahu saya.
“Ready, Hol?”

Saya mengangguk.
“Who’s bringing Sel?”

“Dami” Sydney jawab. “Oh, and dad made sure it’s a one-day full trial.”
