Confused. Hurt. And Psycho (Jenlisa)

Chapter: 126

Mimi and Leo rushed into the police station and saw Mr. Garcia behind bars. A detective walked to them and spoke.

"Are you Miss Garcia?"

"Yes, can you tell me what is going on here? Why is my father behind bars?" Mimi spoke in one breathe with Leo standing by her side.

"Mr. Garcia was arrested for kidnapping, fraud, embezzlement of government funds and the use of illegal drug to aid in a scientific research". The detective said and Mimi stumbled backwards and Leo held her.

"How is that possible? Who did he kidnap?" Mimi asked with a wild premonition "It wasn't Jennie Kim, was it?" Mimi continued. The detective looked at her surprisingly.

"Do you know Miss Kim?". The detective asked. "She was kidnapped and held hostage by the governor. He was arrested an hour ago and the whole city is on fire. How did you not know until now when he is your father?" The detective asked eyeing Mimi and Leo.

A pang of guilt filled Mimi Garcia immediately. That was the time she and Leo were having sex. She clutched her fist into a ball.

"I haven't introduced myself. I am Leo Manoban the owner of Manoban Hotel" Leo introduced himself to the detective. A flash of recognition bloomed in the detective's eyes as his countenance changed to a more respective one.

"Oh, Mr. Manoban. I didn't recognise you earlier. I am sorry for that"

"Is alright. but, is it possible to get the governor released on bill until the investigation is done? I can vouch for him". Leo said.

The detective scratched his head a bit in a fit of difficulty. Just some minutes ago, his chief commanded had told him not to allow the governor to leave the cell until he is forwarded to the prosecutors' office tomorrow and now Leo Manoban was here asking him to release on bill.

"I'm sorry Mr. Manoban but the higher ups won't allow for a release on bill. The crimes and allegations coupled with the evidence at hand won't allow for the governor to be released on bill. I'm really sorry but there is nothing I can do for you. why don't you go back home and wait for a letter from the prosecutors' office?" The detective said.

This was a high profile case and the person involved wasn't a normal civilian but a governor of the city. The public's interest was on this case since it involved a government official and the crimes committed were not ordinary.

From kidnapping to fraud and even forging of government documents to aid a scientific research were all capital crimes which the city's constitution abhorred.

Mimi shook her head in disapproval and turned to Leo desperately saying "Leo, please. You have to do something. My father, I can't let him be here. He is all I have"

"Mimi, calm down and come home with me. I promise to find a way out no matter what. I won't let anything happen to your father". Leo said comfortingly.

"You have to help me, Leo" Mimi said clingingly.

"I promise. Let's go home for now" Leo said and held unto Mimi as they walked out.

As they were going out, Mimi turned and looked at her father who was inside the prison with an eerie gaze. It frightened the man and he shrieked backwards afraid to look her in the eye.
