THE JUDGE OF HELL

The Judge Of Hell Act I: SUSPECTED ACCOMPLICE

[Al]

Patrick ended up staying at my room the entire night. After almost beating him up at the fast food corner last night he persistently wanted to stay home  with me "The gunman might probably return and kill you in your sleep you idiot" he said
but I pull his face away from me "And what? You're going to keep me safe all night? Mas mauuna ka pa ngang matutulog sakin panigurado na unggoy ka! Sabihin mo may babae na naman na nag hihintay sa apartment mo tangina ka!"

Yeah we really did make a scene at the fast food restaurant last night, I reckon that someone took a video at the whole scene so I won't be surprise if my face will be plastered all over the internet by this time or tomorrow. It doesn't matter tho, I'm pretty sure Patrick will hog all the attention if that will happen

I kicked Patrick's legs that's been wrapped on my feet and pushed his hands around my waist. He basically made me his pillow last night, it was exhausting to try to wiggle my way out of his arms and legs.

I must've kicked him hard because it send him out of the bed, making a loud thud in the floor. I thought he would wake up, but as expected, he didn't, his snore just got even more louder.

"Fucking Monkey" Dumeretso ako sa shower at naligo. Punyetang unggoy na iyon, sumakit ang paa ko sa bigat ng mga binti niya

Roderick is dead but somehow I don't feel anything about it, no remorse, I don't even remember his face anymore. Is it normal? Ha, why am I even asking.

After taking a quick shower my phone ticks. A message

Asan na ba ang sweldo mo? Mamamatay na kami dito ng kapatid mo

I deleted the message and walk straight to my made up kitchen. I only rented a small room that could shelter a maximum of three person. One small bedroom and a small bathroom. Everything about this room is small so I don't understand why the fuck that this monkey likes to spend time in here.

Nagluto ako ng itlog at hotdog para agahan, eksaktong pagkaluto sa pagkain ay ang pag labas ni Patrick sa kwarto, gulong gulo ang buhok but still pretty presentable. Sumipol pa siya pagkakita sakin "Why are you topless this early in the morning"

"Shut up you freakin pervert"

Before I can put some clothes on a knock was heard outside the door, I am supposed to open it up since I am sure who's behind it but Patrick pulled me in, dragged me inside the room and forcefully put the shirt above my head

"Bobo ka ba? Lalabas kang topless ipapakita mo sa iba iyang mga nipples mo?"

"Gago ka din ba? Ano ako babae? Tangina ka anong masama doon mag bubukas lang naman ako pwede naman ako mag tago sa pinto!" I blurted out

"But I'm supposed to be the only one who see those"

I slapped him as hard as I could. So hard that it sent him right in the bed "Manahimik kang manyak ka"

I fuming up with anger as I strode my way at the door. I open it up and saw that pretty detective standing outside

"Did I came at the wrong time? I can hear you shouting from where I am standing" He said

"No uhm, may unggoy lang na nambubulabog sakin ngayon"

"I see"

Patrick peek at the door and wave at the officer hello. The officer looked at him, blank stares and then look at me as if saying 'is this the monkey you're talking about'

"I'm here to take you at the station. Do you need to change your clothes or?"

"No. Mag aagahan pa kami" Patrick answered but I shove him away and attempted to walk out but officer stopped me and scratch his neck "Baliktad yung damit mo"

I can feel my face flushing up. I pushed Patrick as hard as I could and stomp my way in my room

"That's how he show his love. Tough love" I heard him saying to the officer

After changing my clothes sumama na ako sa officer. Patrick stayed in the room, of course, may pag kain kase sa kwarto kaya hindi iyon sasama. Patay gutom na unggoy

"So? You guys were together?"

"Don't be ridiculous" I said, boiling up with anger

after that he was silent for a minute that it became uncomfortable

"I heard you chased the gunman up until the alley" He finally said, breaking up the silence

"I did. That was just an impulse"

"Is it? Alfred, I know that you want to see who's behind the killing. Two of your friends are killed, hindi mo alam kung sino ang isusunod o kung unti-unti kayong pinapatay. I talked to Jiho and Steeve, they all think it's Junsu who is doing the killing. I want you to know that I am investigating him as of this moment, he is the prime suspect. So if you don't want to coo-"

"It wasn't Junsu. I saw the killer last night, it wasn't Junsu and I can give you the physical description of the gunman"

He took a deep breath and drove the car slowly "I know you and Junsu are quite close together, and I know that you participated at his bullying. I can see that you're trying to prove his innocence by apprehending the gunman too but Alfred, there are many holes in Junsu's alibi" He pause for a moment but then continue "And also yours"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Isn't it you who guided the two out of the bar last night? The exact place where no one will hardly see someone lurking around" He said. Suspicion  riding in his voice

"Pero wala akong kasalanan sa mga nangyayari"

"Then tell me something that might get you out of suspected list. I do believe you're innocent, so help me prove it"

"I already am trying to tell you what I know. Goddammit"

I sat there, silent. No one talked after that until we get to the station

pagkababa na pagkababa ko sa patrol car ay may sumalubong sa katabi kong pulis na isa pang pulis at nag sabing "Alam mo ba? May namatay na namang binata kani-kanina lang natagpuan ang bangkay niya"
