Kasalukuyang tinitignan ni Olivia Bullock at Mr.Black ang CCTV footage na nangyari sa crime scene.

"Wait look. The video file is missing an hour ago! It stopped filming from 11:30pm to 12:30am. Saan napunta ang video footage ng mga oras na iyon. Ang biktima ay pinatay during this time slot." Pahayag ni Olivia.

"H..Hindi ko alam! Nawala lang ako sa office, ilang minuto lang ang nakalipas." Halos nauutal pa ang matanda.

Habang naglalakad kami ni Larry papunta sa room ko tila ay may naramdaman akong nakatingin sa likod ko. Tumigil ako sa paglalakad at nilingon ngunit wala namang tao.

"Are you looking for someone?" Tumigil din sya sa paglalakad.

"Me..uhm. nothing. I mean no one!" Umiling lang sya at naglakad na rin.

"Thank you, Larry."

Alam ko hindi ako manhid. Alam kong iniisip nila na ako ang suspect sa pagkamatay ni Tiana.

"No problem! I have to ask you." Seryoso nyang sabi.

"Ask what!"

"May kinalaman kaba sa nangyari kay Tiana?"

What the fuck! So isa nga sya sa na pinagsususpetsyahan ako.

"Are you seriously asking me this, why? Do you think I could.kill.someone? Have you lost your mind? I knew Tiana and I had issues in the past!"

"Trabaho ko ang pakialam ang nangyayari dito sa hotel. I need to make sure na inosente ka, last year you attacked her and almost killed her. You put the hotel at risk once. Ayokong mangyari ulit yun!"

I am so furious right now. Accussing me of something I didn't do.

"Why? Walang kinalaman dito yung away namin. Hindi iyon sa loob ng hotel!"

"Tiana worked here, your father own the place and you know them both. And what happened, Tiana blackmailed your father and he did anything he could to protect you!" Hindi ako makapaniwala sa narinig kay Larry.

"Tiana and your father made a deal. Mananatili sya dito sa hotel for a certain price! She asked to received regular ashtonishing amounts of money, and to never see you again. That's why having an investigation here is dangerous, the police could discover everything!"

"Is that why, nabanggit sa akin ni Betty na ang hotel ay may money problems? Is it because of what happened last year?"

"Ugh Betty!" He cussed." She knows nothing about all this, wag kang makinig sa kanya. Just keep a low profile from now on!" Naging malumanay na ang kanyang boses.

"Pero wala akong kinalaman sa nangyari! I'm not a murderer!"

Pilit nya akong dinidiin sa nangyari. Masyado syang madaldal sa lahat. He could be a killer then, anyone from this hotel.

"Don't get me wrong. I believe in your innocence but I guess I don't believe in coincidences. This is some very strange timing. Go to bed, Summer, try to get rest."

I overslept last night. Around 2pm na ako nagising, nag-shower lang ako at agad na bumaba sa lobby. Tumindig ang balahibo ko sa nakita- mga bulaklak ng pangpatay at malaking picture ni Tiana na nakaframe sa entrance. Nakangiti ito sa picture na parang walang problema
