Chapter 54 Part I
I've received a call from Cain
When I finished work.
"I found Victor Ace."
Mr. Cain told me an address
Of where to go.
"Okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes."
I packed my bag
And headed downstairs to catch a taxi.
I closed my eyes and exhaled.
.
.
.
Two Years Ago.
"Long time no see, Ms. Mafilla."
Mr. Cain, my father's secretary
Had wanted to meet with me.
I sat down on the bench by the park.
"I missed you, Mr. Cain."
He gave me a weary smile
As he held my hands.
"Ms. Mafilla,"
He took a pause and I questioned his absent of words.
His sorrow eyes met mine and his lips separated.
His words struck my heart.
"Your father has died in his jail cell."
After, I couldn't hear.
His lips were moving but I couldn't hear anything.
It wasn't right.
This wasn't right.
"Ms. Mafilla."
I snapped back into reality.
"How did he die?
I asked.
"No, he shouldn't have been in there to begin with."
"Ms. Mafilla."
Mr. Cain said with pity
As if I was rejecting reality.
"No, I know my dad.
He may have sealed drugs
But he wasn't a killer."
I said.
"He was too kind to have hurt anyone."

"He wasn't a killer."
"Miss, we're here."
The taxi driver stated.
"Thank you."
I said as I handed him a twenty dollar bill and left the car.
I entered an old popular bar.
It was the type of bar that older adults and elderly went to.
I looked through the bar,
Spotting Mr. Cain sitting there at a booth, waving at me.
I walked towards him.
The person sitting across from him was
Victor Ace.
I smiled as I saw him.
"Mr. Ace,"
I said, smiling.
He smiled as he hugged me.
"Ms. Mafilla,"
He said as he sat back down,
Gesturing me to sit as well.
"Or should I say, Ms. Sterling."
I smiled as I sat beside Mr. Cain.
"Doesn't matter."
Victor Ace was my father's right hand man.
He knew everything.
He dealt everything.
He lit a cigarette.
Then offered me one.
I kindly rejected
"Thanks, but I quit smoking."
"And the doctor said I should stop."
Mr. Cain said.
He nodded as he put back the pack of cigar back into his pocket.
I got straight to the point,
Knowing if I was wasting anymore time,
Shawn would find out.
"Who framed my father of murder?"
I bluntly asked.
