CIGAR'S POV

I saw how Lexi looked intensely at Xen as she passes by him. Maybe she knows that he helps me to catch her.


"Thank you Seven," I whispered to Xen as I pass by him. "I can't catch her without you and Louna." I patted his shoulder then followed the officers.


"I'll just use my car, chief," I shouted as I see Chief Cavanas waiting for me to enter the mobile.


"Okay. We'll wait for you there," he replied.


Nang makaalis na ang mga pulis ay binuhay ko na rin ang makina ng aking sasakyan. I didn't expect that this day will come. Salamat kay Universe at tinuruan n'ya akong magtiwala sa iba. As well as to Louna for bringing my trust back towards the police officers.


Halos isang oras ang aking pinatay bago marating ang istasyon ng pulisya kung saan nila dinala si Lexi. Habang nakaparada malapit sa main entrance ng prisinto ay nagmatyag muna ako sa paligid. Hindi malayong ang pagkahuli sa kanya ay nakarating na sa kung sino mang may hawak sa kanya. 


Makalipas ang ilang minuto, wala naman akong nakita o napansing kahina-hinala sa paligid nito. Pero hindi pa rin ako makampante dahil sabi nga nila, ang taong walang kibo, nasa loob ang kulo. Kaya hindi sapat na sa labas lang ako tumingin dahil mas delikado ang mga nasa loob ng prisintong ito. 


Before I got off my car, I put on my contact lens. Pero dahil may ideya na sila about sa existence ng contact na ito, I have to add some spices. I wear my exceptional watch and necklace with its unusual pendant. 


"You are not obliged to say anything, but anything you'll say may be given in evidence," I said as I face Lexi in the interrogation room.


"Bakit ikaw ang pinadala nila dito at hindi pulis?" matapang nitong tanong sa akin.


"Because I want to talk to you. And they allowed me to do so. Anyway, I also requested to not film this query so you can tell me anything you know, HONESTLY," then I put my hands on the table. 


"I thought it's not filmed," she said as she looks at my watch. It seems that she knows what it does.


"It's for proof. But I'll not give it to them unless I needed to," I replied while she just stares at me. "So! How's my office looks like?" I started.


"Awful, I guess? As awful as you." 


"You guess? So, it seems that you are denying the allegations against you."


"Obviously, yeah."


"Then, let me hear your side." 


"You're after the wrong suspect. I'm not the one who broke into your place. That footage you have is fake," she said as she directly looks into my eyes.
