Chapter Sixteen
I feel something weird.
I take a glance again on the victim. He's not in his appropriate position that makes the crime more easy to solve. Woah, that killer is too nob. Goodness, it leaves many evidences.
"What are you doing in the ward? You are assigned to give this man his medicine, right? Are you ditching? " I asked.
"N-no! I just got there for a minute then I came here immediately. "
I nod.
"Mrs…? "
"Carter. "
"Oh, right! Mrs. Carter, what time will your husband take his medicine again? "
"The doctor gave us a schedule and it said that he's taking his medicine every four hours since his condition is mild, " she replied.
"Oh! Did he take it before he died? "
"Nope. It was supposed later but... " There's a change on her breathing.
"If that's that. Why did you came here? " My attention went to the nurse
I saw how she began to tremble in fear. Halatado talaga. All the evidence is pointing her and I am sure that she's the culprit too.
"W-what? "
"Did you came here to visit the one you love or to kill him? "
Her eyes widened more.
"N-no way! Are you saying that I'm the culprit?! "
"Why not? You came here earlier than rhe doctor said. Plus, this man has a kiss mark on his neck and you were only the one who was wearing lipstick, " I said.
"I am not! "
"Yes! Look, your uniform has trails of your lipstick. You removed it when the time policemens called you. His wife is not also wearing a lipstick. So... " I smirked. "You're the only one who have motives to kill him. "
"You have no evidence to prove that. "
"Are you married? " I asked suddenly.
"What-"
"Just answer. "
"Not yet. "
I nod.
"Where did you buy you're wedding rings, Mrs. Carter? " I asked again.
"My husband made this since they have a jewelry company. "
I clapped my hands in so much amazed in myself. They all looked at me in a strange way.
"Exactly! You're really the culprit! You were too obsessed to Mr. Carter and he made you his mistress for years. You two kept it secret to his wife, right? " I sighed. "Sorry for you, Mrs. Carter. "
I saw the wife of the victim became pale. She didn't know, of course.
Maybe, she's wishing the second death for her husband now.
"You have no—" I took her left hand.
"So, what's this ring? You're not married. "
"I brought it! "
"Really? Who is an idiot will buy this ring for design on her finger knowing that this is a wedding ring? " I asked. "And, woah. That coincidence was too much and it makes you two have the same wedding ring. "
"It is very clear that you are the culprit because you were to obsessed to him. You two are engaged and you're ordering him to leave his wife even though you know he wouldn't that's why you killed him. Poor him, " I said.
"You--! " She's shaking too much in anger. But, we are in shock when she almost pulled me close to her. Good thing the policemens stopped her quickly.
"You're too busybody! I will kill you too! Don't you ever forget that! " She shouted when the police took a care of her.
I made face.
She's threatening the greatest agent. I can't believe this. Can I laugh? Maybe later.
After that, I looked at the officer, wearing my teasing smile.
"Did you see that, officer? I'm amazing, right? You should recruit me to be a policewoman. Well who knows? Maybe I will become your partner, " I mocked again.
His teeth gritted.
"Ba-bye... "
* * *
Silent and peaceful. Only the noise of my hand you can hear because of its fast typings on the keyboard of the computer. Just like on what I planned, that's exactly what I did. I am tracing the car's place.
My mouths are in shut while my full attention is on the screen.
"Is it too long? " Klevo asked. Looks like he's excited to get back on Es Sorores.
"Maybe. But, if you will shut your mouth, that would be fine, " I said.
"What? I'm silent here, Xeena."
"Just don't ask again. I'm focusing... " Irritated, he went back to his seat. And I just continued what I am doing.
Even though the place is not too hot, I still feel like my skin's burning in too much heat. Well maybe because I'm too busy. I cleared my throat.
I am giving all my best just to trace that damn car. But I guess that is too impossible to trace that car. I am taking too long, keeping refreshing the page that I'm at but still, no progress. Nothing. It vanished.
I took a deep breathe before looking at Klev.
I him that his hands are stuck to each other, his fingers are clearly placed at each other too while it is placed on his forehead. Looks like he's thinking too much or he's just got bored for waiting the results of what I did.
I tried to called him he ignored me. I got irritated immediately so I knocked the desktop hard. I don't care if it can wreck the desktop.
It's his fault too.
"Tsk, are you planning to wreck my computer? " He asked.
I shooked my head.
"Of course not. You're busy thinking of something. "
"So, how was it? " I took a glance again on the screen. I heard the noise of his seat, sign that he stood up. I can also hear his footsteps towards my place.
I cleared my throat again.
"You see, I've been in there for how many times, I guess. But nothing happened. I can't trace the car. I tried my best, promise, " I declared.
His face became serious.
"Really? "
"Yep. But, don't worry I have plan B which is you need to contact those two. "
"Two? "
"Two. Agent 38 and 45, " I answered.
"No way. We can't do that. "
"And why? "
"They can trace every footsteps of Kiah if we done that, " he replied. I just nod.
Well, he has a point. I don't want to put their life in danger too just to desperately get back to Es Sorores.
Silence eat up the whole place again.
I looked at Klevo that is now thinking another plan. And I did that too. If we can't trace the car and still we can't contact them, then how will we go back to the place where I belong?
I am hoping that he will think a fine plan. If he can't, then I have no choice but to walk with my barefoot, tracking the way back to Es Sorores.
And finally, in a couple of minutes, he's done thinking.
"My father owns a helicopter. It is in our mansion, " he said.
"Oh, then? " I asked.
"We need to get that. "
"And how can you be so sure that it is still there? " I asked again.
He didn't answered me. Later on, he turned his back to me and immediately walked outside. He left me alone.
"Hey! " I shouted.
Just what the...
