Surprises
Three days after PSJ’s Bankruptcy
“Julie, we fear that this is now the end. The 17 years of PSJ’s existence has now come to halt. All of our clients have already withdrawn after they learned our tragic fate. We also have to lay off our employees and pay them of what was left to us.” Von Benedict said over the phone.
“Kindly settle everything for me please. I-it’s just that until now I couldn’t accept what just happened… I hope you understand.” Julie tearfully answered.
“It’s okay Julie, we know how important to you the company is… we understand. Is there anything you want us to do?”
“Nothing that would be my last directive for the pioneers. Mr. Von Benedict, Mr. Rodriguez, Mr. Einhard. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome Julie. Thank you too.” Von Benedict said in behalf of the other pioneers.
End of Phone Conversation.
Julie’s POV
Weeks ago we were enjoying our heights and success. But now we are all weeping because of the pain of our downfall. Sometimes I just wished that we never achieved these heights so that our fall wouldn’t be that painful. My life could have been more peaceful if I just started my own business or practiced my profession. Now look at yourself Julie, a great failure. Without Elmo, I wouldn’t achieve anything… hence when he left all of us crumbled to dusts. Mom Cherry, I am so sorry… mother… I am so sorry… Julie sobs.

That Evening…
“Knock! Knock! Knock!”
“That’s odd, why didn’t he used the buzzer. Oh only one person does that.” Julie told herself.
Julie opened the door and saw Jean “Just as expected, the only person who doesn’t know how to use the buzzer.” Julie joked.
Jean smirked. “May I come in?” Jean plainly asked.
“Sure!” Julie welcomed Jean.
The two entered the house
“Do you want anything to eat Jean?”
“Just some bread please.” Jean smiled.
Julie went to the kitchen
“I heard about what happened to PSJ lately…” Jean opened up.
“Yeah… we suffered a terrible loss (tears)… A-after Moe has left us…” Julie started to cry again.
“Oh he is too bad…” Jean stood up.
“Actually it was my fault… I blamed him for something.”
“Don’t worry, soon you will be joining him.” Jean suddenly whispered to Julie as he held her hips.
Julie scrambled away from Jean after being surprised by the latter.
“What’s the matter Julie? You look scared?”
“Jean w-what’s wrong with you? Y-you seem to act differently…”
“Oh Julie this is my true identity. By the way did you enjoy my little play about you and Elmo? Moe surely bit my trap and was furious to you. Poor fellow he is on the ground now. No one’s going to save you now!”
Then Jean took his pistol
“What did you do to Moe?” Julie bent backwards trying to get something to defend herself.
