The Culprit (UNDER REVISION)

Case 083: Capturing the Culprit 👮

                                        "Clue"

ALEXIS
She clutched the gun on her hand and narrowed her eyes at the silence. If she learn one important thing about being detective, that is never trust the silence.

Punasok siya ang warehouse at nakitang may papasok na isang lalaki. He memorized his built, his move and everything about him. Hindi siya pwedeng nagkamali, si Alejandro ang pumasok na lalaki.

Master George commanded him to followed Chief Asaytuno's vehicle. Ayon daw kay Alejandro ay susugod ang mga ito sa kuta ni RDV. She don't know why her Master have a copy of RDV's birth certificate. Hindi niya rin alam kung tama ba ang hinala niya na ito si RDV. Naguguluhan na rin siya. Gulong-gulo na ang isip niya.

Sa ikalawang palapag ng warehouse ay nakarinig siya ng malakas na tunog. Marahil ay tunog ng baril. May dalawang bantay na nakahandusay sa labas ng silid. They're still breathing but unconscious.

Puno ng takot ang dibdib niya pero walang pag-aalinlangang pinasok ang silid. Naabutan niyang nakikipambuno ng baril si Alejandro at ang lalaking nakasuot ng maskara na sa tingin niya ay si RDV.

Alejandro ripped off of his mask. Tumambad sa kanya ang mukha ng lalaki. Dalawang beses niya pa lang itong nakita pero sigurado siyang ang general na nagdiwang ng kaarawan ang nasa harap niya. Kung ganoon ay ito si RDV?

Ang taong pumatay sa nobyo niya?

Ang taong nagpahirap sa buhay niya?

Ano ang koneksyon nito kay Master George?

Nagwagi itong mabawi ang baril kay Alejandro at itinutok nito iyon dito. He saw Alejandro gulped but still managed to compose himself. She can't read what's running in his mind but one thing is for sure...he was angry, she can see it in his eyes.

"Alam mo bata sobrang hilig mong mangilam, may pinagmanahan ka talaga."

"Hayop ka! Anong kasalanan sa'yo ng tatay ko at pinatay mo siya?" Alejandro said in a low but very intense voice. This is the first she heard how Alejandro frustrated. He always look cool and composed but now he looked mess—so ruined.

"How can you be so sure na ako ang pumatay? Yes I'm one of them...but I'm just one, you need to look for another two!"

"Wag kang mag-aalala, sabay-sabay kayong mamatay na tatlo!" this time, Alejandro raised a voice. Pero hindi man lang natinag ang kaharap at ngumisi pa ito. She really want to go near him and punch him. But she needs to be careful with her move. Hindi lang niya ang mapapahamak kapag nagkamali siya ng kilos.

"Eh kung mauna ka?" ani RDV at
itinutok kay Alejandro ang baril.
Hindi naman gumalaw ang binata sa pwesto. He looks like he's ready for whatever will happen.

"Wag kang gagalaw!" sigaw niya at itinutok dito ang baril niya. She step a little closer and make sure to aim RDV's face. Her hands were shaking but she's sure she can pull the trigger anytime. She just waiting for a right timing.

"And who are you young lady?" RDV smirked and look at her.

"Wag kang gagalaw!" she gulped while looking at the gun on his hand. Alam niyang anumang oras ay handa itong iputok iyon.

"Don't mind me, get Chief out of here!"

"Pero paano ka?"

"Kaming bahala sa kanya Alexis!" Ivan came out of nowhere and winked at her.

Ivan throw at kick, eksakto sa baril ni RDV na nakatutok kay Alejandro. Tumilapon iyon sa sahig.

"Alexis what are you waiting for? Kunin mo na si Chief!" sigaw ni Niel na kapapasok lang din.
