"Here it is. I'm finished, Madam," Shane said with a determined expression as she placed the folder on the table and took a seat.
We were tucked away in a corner of the DH, preparing to exchange the information we had gathered. I had tasked her with investigating the guards on the 3rd floor of GC Mall, while I had gone to Brighton Village.
All I can say about that place can be summed up in a three-letter word: "Wow." It's as if it has its own world with a unique set of rules and regulations.
For now, all I know is that the village is secretly owned by a man named Andrew Snellenn, who happens to be Allen's father. Andrew passed away five years ago due to a heart attack, and Allen is the sole heir, inheriting all of his parents' wealth, making him the current owner of the village.
His mother, Mrs. Allaiza Yue Snellenn, was a renowned lawyer. When her husband Andrew passed away, she fell into a deep depression, which ultimately took a toll on her own life.
Truly a story of profound and enduring love, as they say.
"One of the supervising guards and a standby knew about the bombing – Ryan Bang and Cesar Montano. Those guys are like, total cowards. When another tough guy got on their case, they just shut up. So, I gave them a real beatdown, tons of kicks and punches."
Napangiwi na lang ako at binuklat ko ang folder. Ang init na naman ng ulo ng isang ito. Kung sino-sinong inosente na naman ang nadadamay eh.
Ryan Monte and Cesar Nacino, iyon talaga ang totoong last name nila.
"Alam ba nila kung sino ang may pakana ng lahat?" usisa ko naman.
Nangalumbaba pa muna siya bago ako sinagot. "Yong cap boy, 'yon lang ang kilala nila. So, ibig sabihin ay patay na ang target one natin."
Napatango naman ako. Ekis na ang lead na ito, kailangan naming makahanap pa ng ibang involve sa nangyari.
"Pabantayan itong si Ryan at Cesar. Maging ang pamilya nila. Hindi malabong madamay ito sa gusot. Gagawin natin silang bait sa mall. Huwag munang tanggalin. Mapapakinabangan pa natin sila."
Maaring gawin pa rin silang kasangkapan ng mga totoong nasa likod ng pagkamatay ng Snellenn Family lalo na kapag nagkabistohan na. Hindi na kami pwedeng maging kampante pa. Mas mabuting nag-iingat at naninigurado.
"Zsss. Ang pangit naman nga ng babaeng iyon. Damn!" bulong niya pa kaya napakunot-noo naman ako.
Lutang na naman ang babaeng ito. Malamang sa malamang ay hindi na naman sila nagkakasundo ni Faller.
Well, kailan nga ba sila naging okay talaga? Sakit nila sa panga.
"Kenshane, ano bang problema mo? Pokus nga muna. Hindi laro-laro lang ang misyon na ito," seryosong saad ko.
Napaayos naman siya ng upo at pilit na pinaliwanag ang mukha niyang nakabusangot.
"Yes, Prime. I'm sorry," she replied with a serious tone.
"I came from Brighton Village, and we need to secure a slot there for record-keeping to ensure our seamless access. I need to get close to Gabriel or anyone near Samara and Allen to gather information. After lunch, we'll go back."
"Are we taking Allyssa with us?"
"No!" I responded immediately. "We can't risk anyone knowing that one of the twins is alive, not until we solve this crime."
"Noted," walang gana niya na namang sagot kaya napabuntong hininga na lang ako.
Mukhang gusto ko nang magsisi kung bakit siya pa ang ginawa kong partner sa misyon na ito. Ang laki na problema niya sa kanyang buhay pag-ibig eh. Pero at least, mabilis naman siyang kumilos. Natapos niya agad maimbestigahan ang GC Mall security personnels eh.
