                         "Case Closed"

ALEJANDRO
He's leaning on the backrest of his chair when the phone in front of him interrupted his peace. He just solved a case a few minutes ago and now there's someone's calling, and he's sure whoever it is, he or she badly needs their help.

He took the phone and placed it on his ear. "Hello?"

[Hello Inspector si PO1 Von po ito,]

"Yes PO1 Von?"

[Nandito ako ngayon sa Irene Homes Condominium, sa girlfriend ko and I heard a commotion next to her room. Can you go here Inspector? ]

"Okay... I'll be there in ten minutes."
He answered and hang up the call.

He took his coat and storming out of his office. On the hallway he saw Ivan and asked him where he's going.

"Inspector saan ka pupunta?" bakas ang pagkagulat sa mukha nito dahil nga kagagaling lang nila sa isang kaso.

"Come with me PO2 de Jesus," he didn't answer Ivan's question instead told him to come with him. Nagpatuloy siya sa paglalakad at naramdaman niya namang sumunod ito.

"Saan tayo pupunta?"

"Don't ask question, just come with me."

The PO2 did nothing but to follow his order. Sumakay ito sa police patrol at tahimik na nagmaneho.

Malapit lang naman ang condominium na tinutukoy ni Von, in less than an hour, they reached their destination. Sinalubong sila ng guard at tinanong kung pulis ba sila. They're wearing their police uniforms that's why he find the guard's questions weird.

"Yes, po, pulis kami," si Ivan na ang sumagot sa guard.

"Pero hindi po kami tumawag ng pulis dahil ayaw namang maalarma ang nasa mga katabing unit."

"Pero n'andito na po kami Sir, mas mabuti pa na samahan n'yo na kami sa loob at wala nang makakita sa amin dito " Ivan succeed on convincing the guard. Sa fourth floor sila dinala nito. They entered the crime scene and they saw detective Mendoza roaming around the room

"Detective, what happened here?"

"Bakit n'andito kayo?" instead of answering his question. She also throw question to him.

"I think, we are ones who have to ask you that question. We're the responsible to investigate this," he said, stating a fact.

"Oo alam ko, nagtataka lang ako kasi hindi naman kami tumawag sa inyo. Nagbilin daw kasi 'yong management ng condominium na 'wag tumawag ng pulis para 'wag maalarma 'yong mga katabing unit, to prevent ruckus."

"Well... naalarma na 'yong katabing unit kaya tumawag s'ya. Si PO3 Von, 'yong nasa kabilang unit at tinawagan niya si Inspector. Maistorbo n'yo yata 'yong "quality time" nila ng gf niya," Ivan answered with a malicious smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, ipapasa naman sa inyo ang kaso, but the management decide na malabas muna ang bangkay. I'm sorry." Alexis rubbed her nape as she said that. Alam niyang wala siya sa katwiran.

"Malabas ang bangkay? Alam mo naman na hindi pwedeng galawin ang crime scene."

"Detective naman kami,"

"Sa isang secret organization! Mabuti na lang ako ang nakasagot ng tawag ni Von, kung nalaman 'to ng iba, ano sa tingin mo ang mangyayari?"

"I'm sorry." Alexis bowed her head, admitting her fault.
