"You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney during any questioning..." I just watched Officer Daza put the cold handcuffs around the psychopath's hand who killed his own son to death in his courtyard along with five more victims. Bago sumakay sa police mobile ay tinapunan pa ako nito ng masamang tingin.

"What?" naka-crossed arms ko pang tanong sa kanya. Hindi ito sumagot bagkus ay tumawa lang ito ng nakakaloko.

"You won't be able to foresee and control everything Shellingford! I'll be waiting for the day when you have to beg for mercy!"

"Oh yeah? I wonder if that will ever happen, Mr. Davids!" naglakad ako ng ilang hakbang palapit sa kanya. "After all, you'll be spending your life in jail forever... until you perished."

Nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi nito at napalitan ng panlilisik ng mga mata. Itinulak na ito ng mga pulis papasok sa loob ng police mobile habang nakapako pa din ang mga mata sa'kin.

I waved and smiled at him at maya-maya pa ay hinatid ko na sila ng tingin habang papalayo sa crime scene.

"Good job in locating that man, boss!" nilingon ko si Razor na masayang nakangiti habang hawak-hawak pa ang tablet.

"You're slacking off again," I exasperatedly sighed as I looked at him. Razor is one of my colleagues and is part of my team—the techie freak.

"I'm just at the area for some—"

"Entertainment, " putol ko sa gusto niyang sabihin. "You were holding your tablet the whole time since you left the HQ. You went to Roshan's unit and persuade him to come with you, the smudge of peanut butter on your collar is the proof since that's his favorite breakfast," napatingin ito sa collar niyang may talsik pa ng peanut butter at sa tablet niyang hinawakan niya pagkakain. The screen got greasy on the part under his thumb and at its back.

"You tried going to Sven's room next after you were rejected by Roshan. He wasn't there though so you left after trying to break in his room again," napangiwi ito sabay iwas ng tingin.

"After checking my location using GPS, you decided to go to this area and watched me solve the case from your car and after I bid good bye to the killer, you went out and walked towards me as if I won't be able to see right through you."

"Wait boss, how the heck did you know that I was watching you the whole time?"

"Do you really think I won't be able to notice your drone above?" tumingala ako at saka tiningnan ang drone niyang nasa taas. Napanganga naman ito at mukhang hindi alam ang sasabihin.

"Okay fine, I give up!" laglag ang balikat na sabi nito. Kahit kailan talaga ay may pagka-isip bata ang isang ito.

"You don't have missions to do?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"None at the moment," pagkibit-balikat lang nito at saka ibinaba na ang drone na kino-control niya using his tablet.

"Go ask Dr. Pascal for some tasks. Someone might mistook you here for a kid who's cutting his afternoon classes!" tinapik ko ang balikat niya at saka naglakad na palapit sa kotse kung saan nakaabang ang chauffer na si Sebastian.

"Hey boss that's absurd!"

Sumakay na ako sa kotse at iniwan si Razor na nakasimangot habang masama pa din ang tingin sa'kin. Now he really looked like a bullied kid who has nowhere to go.
