[Officer Sato]
"Officer Sato isama mo si officer Garcia para kausapin ang huling kasama ng biktima" Inspector Vergara said
Officer Garcia rested his arms on my shoulder and starts tapping the sole on his shoes on the ground "Panibagong kaso na naman. Ni hindi na nga ako umuuwi sa bahay" reklamo niya sakin
"Bakit hindi kayo magkasama ngayon ni Inspector Brealey, Garcia? Iniwan ka ba niya" I said half laughing, I removed his arms on my shoulder and fixed my uniform
He was jumping on his feet back and forth like a little kid with a stolen candy, groaning, I swear I almost see smoke coming out from his head "Ayon nauna nang lumabas. Sus kung alam ko lang, manghihingi na naman iyon ng assistance nila Vaughn para sa kaso" He said laughing merrily
I was never really acquainted with Garcia, I hardly even see him here in our division because he's always out with Inspector Brealey. He's just overly friendly with everyone he works with, everyone seems to be his friend
Unlike him I am never the easy-going one, I always tend to work alone that it always gives me trouble in the end.
"Nag salubong na naman iyong kilay mo Sato. Relax ka naman konti kaya natatakot iyong mga kriminal sayo eh" He said jokingly
"Why would their emotion matter? I could scare them to death for all I care because to me, their existence is garbage"
Tinapik niya ang balikat ko at umiling. He's going to impose his ideas again
"Wag kang ganiyan palagi Officer Sato. Paano ka makakahanap ng girlfriend kung ganiyan ka palagi mag salita" typical Officer Garcia
we arrive at the boarding house where the victim's friend resides, we met him right outside the residence and told him to come
he seems shocked to hear the news about his friend, who wouldn't, according to what I've heard they were just hanging around a few minutes ago
after driving the friend in to the station, we left him right outside the interrogation room. He was turn over by the detective who's going to look in to the case
"Ipagkuha kita ng kape saglit lang" Garcia said while running to catch up with detective Catherine. Ipagkuha ng kape ha
Gusto niya lang ata na makausap ang crush niya eh
I casually walked my way in to the evidence room. It was stated that the car brake is damage when the victim drove home, he manage to make an emergency phone call as he was losing control of the car
He's so young to die like that
He must've experience his life flashing back in to his mind as he was about to crash into the wall
"Anything?" I ask the police officer who looked into the brakes
"Intentional. May nag sira talaga sa brakes bago pa siya umalis. Hindi aksidente ang nangyari sa binata"
I knew it. It really is an intentional killing, I inquire at the stores nearby that might've seen the person tampering with the car, coincidentally, lahat ng kalapit na mga tindahan ay sira ang mga cctv
As I was looking closely at the case it became more, and more like a planned murder not a crime on the spot. And that makes it more harder to solve, the chances of us finding a starting line is getting slimmer and slimmer every minute
Crime like this makes our job much more interesting
I got back at the interrogation room and saw the same kid we pick up outside the door. He was shivering, eyes bloodshot, unfocused. The detective is talking to him pero hindi siya nakikinig, nilalaro lang niya ang mga daliri niya sa kamay
He's sweating profusely, he would open his mouth for a moment and close it again, he will repeat it two times and shake his head momentarily.
The detective won't gain anything from this scared kid with that intimidating face of his
I decided to intervene and offered to take the kid home
Inspector Vergara looked at me sideways and turned around dragging the detective with him
The kid is still shivering pretty bad so I decided to walk in a slow pace. Garcia came running holding a plastic cup on his hand "Saan ka ba nag sususuot Sato! Malamig na 'tong kape oh" He slip his head sideways and look into the kid behind me
"Alam ko kung anong pinag dadaanan mo bata, alam kong nakakatakot yung nangyari sa kaibigan mo, wag kang mag alala, hindi naman totoo ang mga multo"
"Says the one who scream at the haunted house"
He slap me by the shoulder and cover my mouth with that small hand of his "Manahimik ka Sato. Kita mong naniniwala na siya"
I heard the kid chuckle "Are you guys dating" He said shocked with himself, he then hurriedly cover his mouth with his hand
"Are you really?" A shocked detective Catherine chimed in, pleased with herself. She recovered from the shock and smile full of contempt
"Aaaaaahhh! Hindi!" Garcia covered his face and run away from us, embarrassed. He will feel more of it by the time he realize that running away is an instinctively way of saying yes.
"Got a new case?" Detective Catherine asked as soon as she finished laughing at Garcia
I just nod and gestured the kid waiting for me, mouth is still covered with his hand. Although, unlike kanina, mas relax na siya ngayon.
We said goodbye to Catherine and continue walking to the patrol car
Catherine, Garcia and I are almost on the same age but Catherine is way above us in terms of rank and achievements. Maybe it's because she's a girl, she works twice as much as everyone for her to prove her place at the station. No wonder she is adored by everyone
"Sorry for asking that silly question" The kid said
"It's okay" I said
he's starting to fiddle with his fingertips again, he wanted to talk but don't know where to start
I've seen quite a few of him everyday, a bystander who knows something but scared to get involve.
"Pwede mo akong kausapin tungkol sa kaibigan mo. O kahit na ano, kung may problema ka o kung may gusto kang malaman pwede mo akong kausapin"
He didn't react
I can't get through him for now, but I will eventually. I know because I am a cop
"You can trust me about this. Crime is my bread and butter, if there's one person who can help you, it's me"
