That Boystown Girl [COMPLETE]

CHAPTER 46

Boys and Fruits

BASICALLY, THE LACERATION on my arm prevented me from easily changing my clothes from last night and this morning. I understand that it's Saturday but crime fighting does not rest. We need to file charges against those men and I sure am going to do that today.

Knight helped me in changing my clothes, at least for areas that I might let him help me.

"Nasa bag ko lahat ng evidence na nakuha ko sa isang lalaki," bilin ko sa kanya dahil baka makalimutan niyang kunin ito bago kami magtungo sa station.

He smiled at me and checked the bag's content before patting my head twice. "That's my girl."

In fact, he was looking at me with so much pride in his face even when until we got to the station and I handed my statements and evidences.

They surely interrogated me with some pressure when I told them how I escaped.

Nahuli nila ang dalawang lalaking sinipa ko sa ari samantalang nakawala naman ang isang kumuha ng aking cell phone.

"Lagot ako kay CJ," singit ko upang ipaalala kay Knight ang aking takot sa kanyang nakababatang kapatid ngunit umiling lamang siya. Hindi maialis sa kanyang mukha ang ngisi niya habang nagkukwento ako kung paano ko inexecute ang self-defense na kanyang naituro sa akin. Naginhawaan naman akong hindi namatay ang lalaki ngunit hindi rin ibig sabihin niyon na mapapatawad ko siya sa pagkidnap sa akin.

Ibinigay ko ang mga nakumpiska ko sa lalaki.

Sinabihan nila kaming makakaasa sa pag-imbestiga sa kaso upang malaman kung sino ang nagpautos nito at kung ano ang kailangan nila sa akin at kung bakit nila ito ginawa. Napakaraming tanong na gusto kong masagot.

They immediately identified the man in the ID and shared meaningful glances.

"Ang taong ito ay isang dating senatorial bodyguard na nasibak sa trabaho dahil sa insubordination. Nakablacklist siya sa mga security agency at may records siya ng carnapping at kidnapping. Palagi siyang nakakawala dahil sa kakulangan ng ebidensya o minsan naman, areglo."

"That's weird though. How could he afford an areglo if he's carnapping and kidnapping to get money?" Knight asked.

"That's what we are going to find out," the cop then turned to me and said, "Simula ngayon, ako ang in-charge sa investigation ng kaso ninyo. Lieutenant Damaso. Miss, mailalarawan mo ba ang lalaking nakatakas?"

"Gladly."

We got off the station after an hour or more and thanked the cops. They promised to call for updates and further questions.

He drove us to a nearby Jollibee and I happily snuck my way in to a two-chair table as I appointed him to order just whatever I wanted to eat.

Natutuwa ako sa kanyang panlulumo dahil nga sa nangalo siyang cheat day ko ngayon kapag nagpatahi ako ng aking sugat. Wala siyang magagawa kung hindi ang pakainin ako ng isang bucket ng fried chicken.

"I am starting to get happy and giddy with what you are doing with your diet program with me," he said. "I am also starting to think that you are not that determined enough to enter PMA."

The smug look on his face left me dumbfounded as he went in the queue.

Hinintay ko tuloy siyang makabalik ng mesa bago ako makasagot sa kanya.

"Here you go."

He placed the tray and walked off to get the other tray back before settling down the chair opposite mine. "Thank you."
