Bachelorettes: FIERCE [Completed]

CHAPTER 3

03

PEOPLE ARE REALLY implausible. How could they manage do such things?

Abala si Fierce sa opisina at tinatapos pag-aralan ang kaso ng Bolivia. Hindi siya makapaniwala na mismong anak ng biktima ang lumalabas na pumatay. Ilang kaso na kagaya non amg nahawakan niya kaya medyo sanay na rin siya, pero hindi pa rin niya matanggap na naaatim ng mga tao na gumawa ng ganun kasamang bagay para sa sariling kapakanan.

How could they be too selfish and cruel to end a person's life? Wala silang karapatan. Tsk tsk. But well, wala naman akong magagawa. Hay.

"Case solved," sambit niya habang nag-uunat. "Si Mr. Gustin Bolivia Jr. na nga ang pumatay. Nag-match ang investigation and observation ko sa mga ebidensya. Nakatulong din ang mga false statements na nabanggit niya. Halatang alibis."

Narinig siya ni Francine and, as usual, ay manghang mangha na naman ito sa kanya. "Case solved in just three nights? Grabe, you are really The Great, Fierce!"

She sighed, at bago pa nito bigkasin ang naiisip niyang sasabihin nito ay inunahan na niya. "If you're going to tell me to unwine after this case, my answer is definitely, again, no."

Tinawanan siya nito. "So in that case you aren't still unwining, huh?" There is a teasing beam on her face. "Well, may naghahanap sa'yo sa baba. Ang sabi ng receptionist, someone special daw siya at may urgent na sasabibin."

Fierce was obviously confused. "Someone special? Who the heck could that person be?"

Tumawa ulit ito. "Ikaw lang naman ang makakasagot niyan, Detective Feudeamo. Well, in fairness, ang sabi ng receptionist ay gwapo raw." Humagikgik ito at saka siya tinantanan. Nag-congratulate pa nga ang gaga.

Could it be that Marlo again? Wait. Porke gwapo, that Marlo agad? Napailing siya at halos padabog na tinawagan ang receptionist. "Send him here in my office, please."

"WHY DO YOU have to lock that freaking door?" Fierce asked Marlo as the man shut closed the door behind when he entered.

Ngumiti lang ito sa kanya. "Ayoko namang marinig nilang sinisigawan mo ako. I don't like to seem like a battered... nevermind."

She chuckled and that actually made Marlo obviosly admire her. "Mabuti naman at alam mo nang sisigawan kita, but sorry to disappoint you pero hindi soundproof 'tong opisina ko."

The man sat down on one black sofa, at hindi sa upuang nasa tapat ng mesa niya. The guy slouched easily and comfortably. "So..."

"So?" pag-uulit niya nang nakataas ang isang kilay. Grabe, at home ka sa opisina ko, huh? "Why did you come here at the detective's office? May problema ba? Ninakawan ka ba o na-rape ng hindi mo alam kung sino?"

Marlo laughed and she couldn't deny that he laughs so manly. That is indeed attractive. "I came here not as your client, but as someone special." He grinned, then she glared. "Okay, sige. Gusto ko lang makipagbati na sa'yo. You just screamed when I called, and I got nervous. Binabaan mo ako ng phone tapos hindi mo na ako pinansin."

Tumayo si Fierce at lumakad papunta sa harap ng mesa niya. She doesn't know that she is unconsciously flashing a seductive and sexy pose by just merely standing and crossing her arms. "How did you freaking get my home number?"

"Oh." Nangiti ito. "Hiningi ko rito sa Special Services. Tumawag ako at sinabi kong kailangan ko ng serbisyo ng maganda at matalinong detective na gaya mo."

Ngumisi rin siya. "You can't get me with your flattering skills. I am sorry."

"Oh, so you are flattered?"
