I dedicate this chapter to 90sirwin! (Hi Pia, told yah i'll dedicate this next chapter to you) she's a good friend of mine on Twitter and I love her. I heard she'll write her own story soon. So, be sure to check on her story soon ;)

"Officer, won't we talk about this?" I ask the sheriff when they're forcing me to ride inside the police car.

"Yes, in the precinct. Now, go inside" he says and holds my head guiding me inside the car, without me escaping.

When I got at the back of the car, I see Harry and Krishna in one of the crowd of inquisitive people wanting to witness what's this fuss all about. Harry mocks me by waving his left hand and mouthing 'bye' to me. Same goes to Krishna. When the police officers are all inside the car and getting ready to drive away, My gaze is still fixed on those real culprits. Then, Harry snakes his hand on Krishna's waist and kissed her cheeks and again waves bye to me as Sheriff Stevenson starts to drive.

"Mr.Horan won't do such a thing, sir. I mean he's really a good employee of mine back in Chicago. That's the main reason why our company promoted him and decided to send him here in New York. He can't do such a thing" Mr.Hughes says

After thirteen hours of me being held behind closed bars, Mr.Hughes is here. He travelled from Chicago,Illinois to New York City to see my case and also to defend my side.

That thirteen hours was the most boring time i've ever had in my life. Yesterday, they just kept on interrogating me with regards of my case. I told them the whole story but they just said "Not enough evidence for us to bail you out". I just shut my mouth and they put me in this prison cell. Well, thank God, i'm alone here because according to them, this is where i'll be staying for the next five days. Within those five days, if really I really am guilty, they'll put me inside the prison cell, where the real goons are, and i'll be forced to wear that orange jumpsuit.

"But, sir, we don't have enough evidence that he really didn't steal the money in that company" Sheriff Stevenson says

"Are you sure?"

"Yes sir. In fact, his fingerprints are there on the vault so he's really the main suspect here"

I saw Mr.Hughes shaking his head and he looks to me with a weak smile.

"Can I talk to Mr.Horan, please?" he asks

"Sure, sir" Then, he nods to a policeman to open the prison cell. He cuffs my hands again while he guides me on a plain white room with just a table and a window. The visiting room.

Mr.Hughes followed behind and he sat down on the chair and the policeman accompanies me inside until I sat down. He then proceeds outside and watches on the window while we are having conversation.

"How are you, bud?" he says

"Mess" is all I can say

He sighs and shakes his head.

"I know you're telling the truth but you're really in a big trouble here. In any angle that we'll look, youre the suspect" he heavily sighs again.

"Don't they have CCTV camera?" I ask

"Yes, they have" he pauses which I grinned because that's the only evidence that can really bail me out and they'll see how evil Krishna, Harry, Ethan and Abigail are.

But my happy aura is the opposite of Mr.Hughes right now.

"Why? What's wrong, sir?" I ask

"I mean, look, that's the only thing left for me to be on the safe side! Sir! Of course there's CCTV cameras there. That's 24/7-" I continue
