Although I am not close to my father I can say that he is a good person and he is very generous to others. When he sees you in need he will not hesitate to support you. One of those he helped financially was Brandon Miller.
Brandon is just an ordinary employee at the company. Isa siyang kargador noon but my father saw his skills kaya nang malaman na hirap ito sa pag-aaral ay tinulungan niya ito. Bukod sa pinag-aral ay binigyan niya ito ng condo unit dahil naging malapit ang dalawa sa isa't-isa at parang anak na din ang turin ni dad sa kanya.
Brandon always helped my dad so we were kind to him too. Kung may isa pa akong kuya ay masasabi kong si Brandon 'yun.
When he became part of SOCO, he often took Josh and me to crime scenes, especially when he found out that we were student detectives at our school then.
He was kind, friendly and most of all he often ensured our safety so I find it hard to believe that he was one of the leaders of Scorpius, but how? Kaya ba hindi na siya nagpaparamdam sa akin nitong mga nakaraang buwan?
"D-do you have any evidence Josh?" I asked him while staring at the picture he was holding.
"Of course, I would not judge someone without any proof." Bumuntong hininga siya at itinago na ang larawan. "At first I didn't want to believe but when I saw his tattoo on his back, I doubted. When I put him to sleep in his condo to get info about Kuya Zander's death, napansin ko ang bahagyang nakataas ang suot niyang t-shirt; I saw a strange tattoo. Out of my curiosity I raised his shirt and saw all over his back the tattoo of the Scorpion and below it was written in the alphabet of the baybayin the word HENERAL."
Matagal na din may alam si Josh sa asosasyon kaya alam niya ang ibig sabihin ng mga tattoo. But was what I heard correct? Is he the Heneral? ang Heneral na binabanggit na bagong pinuno sa kanilang hideout? Hindi ba't ang kinikilalang Heneral din ang tinawag nang dakpin ako ng Komandante? Kaya ba niya ako niligtas dahil siya si Brandon?
"Tattoo cannot be valid evidence." Napatingin ako kay kuya na namumula ang mata. Napupuyos siya sa galit subalit sa kanyang salita ay ayaw niyang tanggapin ang katotohanan.
"That's also what I thought," pahayag ni Josh. "But I made further investigation."
Isinalaysay samin ni Josh ang pangyayari.

"Hello Officer Miller! Are there any cases we need to solve right now?"
"Ngayon ka lang pumasok sa milk tea shop ko ganyan na agad ang bungad mo sa akin Mr. Watson?"
"Okay Officer Miller why not let me taste your best seller tea. Gusto ko ikaw gagawa, I'll just wait for you here in the office."
"Sure, after all you helped my last case. Just sit here and relax." And he left his office.

"I put my secret recorder under his table with bubble gum so it wouldn't be obvious. I knew there was a cctv in his office so I was careful. Ang isang police officer na kagaya niya ay hindi basta-basta papahuli."
Tumingin sakin si Josh at pinagpatuloy ang kwento.

"I'm not a fan of milk tea pero dahil gawa mo ito sige iinumin ko".
"Ubusin mo na 'yan. I have something important to do." And he looked at his wristwatch.
