Carrie
What's a worse way to wake up with a hangover? To wake up with a hangover and have the police waiting by your doorstep.
"Teka lang Sir, pag-usapan natin 'to! Wala akong ginagawang masama!"
"Kaya nga pupunta tayo sa presinto para mapag-usapan. Mabilis lang 'to, Mr. Arevalo, kung makikisama ka sa amin."
"Pero teka lang po, Sir!" I tried to stop the uniformed police officer from escorting Jasper outside Kold's unit but Icarus held my shoulder and uttered.
"There's no use, Carrie. Haven't you heard their statement? Jasper's name is linked to a case, and he'll just appear more suspicious if we don't let him go into questioning."
"Then what should we do? Hindi natin puwedeng pabayaan si Jasper," I petitioned.
"We won't let Jasper down. I'll contact one of our family's lawyers to aid him, and for the meanwhile, you two should go with him to the station," he replied, and I was quite relieved at his ability to generate plans for situations like this.
"What about Kold?" Chantal spoke that made us turn our heads to the mentioned man currently slumbering peacefully in his bed, completely unaware of the distress that has awakened everyone else.
"I'll take care of him. I think you should go now, the police might leave. We'll catch up as soon as possible."
I took one last glance at Kold who was covered by his thick navy blue comforter before I dashed out the door, grabbing Chantal by her wrist and nodding at Icarus with a somewhat jittery smile.
We hurriedly boarded the nearest elevator and fortunately, we caught up with the police as they were about to let Jasper inside the police mobile.
"Wait lang po!" I shouted and successfully brought their attention to us. Nang makalapit kami, si Chantal na ang nagsalita.
"We'll go with Jasper, and we have our own vehicle. Hindi na po niya kailangang isakay sa police car."
The officer with a noticeable protruding belly eyed us with doubt, and I met Jasper's gaze—his eyes were reflecting the anxiety consuming him right now.
"Don't worry, you can tail us on the way. Our friend did nothing wrong so there's nothing to hide for him," I stated with reassurance.
The two officers exchanged glances and silently nudged Jasper to walk towards us. Mukhang wala na silang sasabihin pang iba kaya naglakad na kami papunta sa parking lot ng condo.
Jasper's head was looking down the entire time, most likely due to the several pairs of eyes giving us judgmental looks as they noticed that he was approached by the police. Sinulyapan ko si Chantal at parehas naming hinawakan sa braso si Jasper bilang pagpapakalma rito.
We reached our car and just as we told them, the police went behind us as we hit the road to the police station. Si Jasper ang kagat-labing nagmamaneho katabi ako sa front passenger seat, habang nasa likuran si Chantal.
