The Moonlight Assassin

Escape

Miguel quickly went to the company locker room, trying to look for any clothes he can use. Fortunately, he found an old white t-shirt that hasn't been used in years. He immediately wore the shirt, packed his things, and went to the elevator. As he was on the 35th floor of the building, it would take approximately five minutes to reach the ground floor.

While inside the elevator alone, he noticed the lights flicker. All of a sudden, the elevator jammed. Miguel was definitely scared as he was all alone in the eerie silence. He looked around, left, and right. As he looked forward, someone appeared in the reflection.

"SURPRISE!!!", the hideous Alexander appeared.

"AAAAAAHHH!!!", Miguel screamed and fell to the floor.

"You skinny twat, I had enough of you!", said Alexander, "Now that my father has recognized me, it's time that I will take over for me to experience how I can live like a normal person. Soon, everyone will know that I am Alexander, the prince of the manananggal, the vicious murderer, the Moonlight Assassin! HA HA HA HA HA!" 

Alexander grabbed Miguel by his neck and choked him. When Miguel couldn't breathe anymore, he passed out. Alexander then took over Miguel's body.

Strangely, Miguel's body did not transform into the hideous manananggal. Instead, it seemed to be that Alexander had disguised as Miguel. The only thing that distinguishes him from Miguel was his stature, and his deeper, more sinister voice.

Soon, the elevator went working again and headed to the ground floor.

As the elevator reached the ground floor, Alexander in Miguel's body went to the building's lobby. At the exit, a guard stood by the door. It was Darryl Sioson, who formerly was a guard of the DF Hotel, now transferred to the DF Towers.

"Boss, good evening," Darryl cheerfully greeted, "how were you with ma'am Alice?"

"Well, it went out good. We celebrated upstairs and had a wonderful time together," Alexander answered.

Darryl smirked, "Hmmmm... you seemed to enjoy tonight. Well, does that mean you and Alice are...?"

Alexander laughed, "Haha, you silly nitwit, you're just too speculative. Alice and I are just the perfect colleagues and business partners, that's all. Anyway, why don't I treat you tomorrow night at Jeremy's restaurant? That'll be great."

Darryl went ecstatic, "Wow sir, I get quite embarrassed going there, but thank you so much, sir."

"See you tomorrow," Alexander said as he left the building.

But, then the guard Darryl noticed about what he saw was Miguel. He thought, "Why is he in a white shirt? Am I a 'silly nitwit'? Treating me in Sir Jeremy's resto? He doesn't talk or act like that."

Outside the building, Alexander noticed a patrol car standing by. It was Capt. Lawrence waiting for someone.

"Captain Ortega, hello there sir, what's the matter?", he asked.

"Hey Miguel," Lawrence replied, unaware that the person he talked to wasn't him, "I was waiting for someone in the building, but nothing happened, so I will have to go back to the police station." 

"Well, with your permission, can I hitch a ride? You know I live just a few blocks away from the station," Alexander said.

"Sure, Miguel, we're done for the night anyway, and I can get home after I pack my things at the station. Come in," Lawrence said.

Soon, Alexander rode Capt. Lawrence's patrol car and headed away to the other district.
