Sisters in Crime
Brian’s eyes lit up with an instant bemusement.Aside from the sarcasm the lady had thrown at him, he was certain he heard what she said.His gaze had already shifted to Viola, demanding an immediate explanation.Viola lifted her eyes, along with her shaky finger.“I can explain…” She muttered, the light in her eyes flickering.“She is your sister?” Brian asked with disbelief in his tone, turning to Mandy.That was when it finally clicked: the striking resemblance that had been glaring at him from the very beginning.“I know what you are thinking, Mr. Regal…” Viola began approaching him with slow and unsteady steps, a glittering wariness in her eyes.“I can assure you, I am not a part of this. My sister did this all by herself. I didn’t even realize it was her until I arrived here…”Brian snorted, his eyes locked on the lady.No one could tell what he was thinking, especially with the burning emotions palpable in his eyes.“That is very hard to believe, Viola. Very hard to believe…”“
Not Estranged
“Are you okay?” Brian asked in a soft voice, staring at the lady in the face.He could see the panic in her eyes, and her puffing chest was adding more flavor to her apprehension.“Is that your son?” Brian asked an obvious question, just to ease the tension.Viola nodded, then she stammered. “Ye…” She swallowed hard, her eyes almost crawling from their sockets.“Yes, he is. His name is Melvin…”“Well, hello, Melvin…” Brian took a step forward, waving at the little boy with a smile.“Are you okay?” He asked, holding onto his beam.The little boy moved behind his mother for safety, but the urge to observe Brian was still intact.He had been traumatized enough, and the only thing he could hold onto, except his mother, was his instincts for safety.“He is just scared, Mr. Regal…” Viola explained, her voice slippery from the start.“It’s okay…” Brian nodded, his smile slowly fading out. “I understand…” He added, taking a deep breath.Then he turned to Mandy, and that seemed to be the start
Death Wish
“Get her! She is the one responsible for all of this!” He pointed at Mandy, almost screaming his lungs out.He had done the unthinkable, and no one had imagined that he was going to pull off such a stunt.“She shot me!” He cried, staggering toward the men who guarded the Regal Estate.“Get them!” He ordered, moving behind the men.The men stared at him with shock on their faces, but there didn’t seem to be any hint of suspicion in their eyes.“Mr. Sanchez? Are you okay?” One of them asked, looking more concerned than the rest.“How am I supposed to be fine?!” Diego groaned, still struggling with his breath.“I just got shot, you idiot!” He gestured to the painful injury on his left arm, then shifted his gaze to Mandy.“Go get that whore! She is the one you came for!”The men didn’t argue. They turned to Mandy at once, marching and encircling her.Her guards didn’t try to fight, surrendering with their hands behind their heads.Mandy groaned, her eyes sparkling with the widest shock.“
The Strangler
Aside from the old man in front of her, the only thing standing between her and the door was just a two-meter space.“I…” She stuttered, then dragged her son closer to her, looking behind for a few seconds.“Stay close to Mummy, okay?”The little boy nodded, peeking at Diego from behind his mother.“You already have what you came for, Mr. Sanchez. Please, let us go. I beg you…” She pleaded, staring at the old man with caution.She was wary of even the blinks of his eyes, watching his every move closely.“I will not tell Mr. Regal that it was you. In fact, I will never see him again. I will leave this city and never return…”“Nonsesne!” Diego growled inwardly, the anger still boiling inside him.“It’s already too late to make such fake promises. Brian is already here. He will find out what I am, all thanks to you…”“No!” Viola shook her head, drifting an inch backward while she struggled for breath.“He won’t…” She cleared her throat, yet the cringe was still intact.“We… We can just t
An Escape Route
“What?! That’s not possible!” Mandy gasped, eyes almost crawling from their sockets.Diego was forced to stop, turning back to look at the guard who had almost pushed him down on his way into the basement.“What the hell is going on? You said this place was safe!” He scowled at the lady, unbothered by her uneasiness.Mandy took a deep breath, completely bemused.“What do they want?! Who are they?!” She asked the guard, but he was still busy trying to catch his breath.“I don’t know, Boss…” The guard finally spoke, then he turned to Viola with disdain in his eyes and pointed.“I think she knows something about this. She must have told them where we are…”Viola’s heart skipped a beat, her feet staggering backward.“What have you done?” Mandy turned to her sister, fury brewing inside her.“I asked you not to come with anyone. You have just put all of us in trouble…”Diego’s heart sank into his stomach, his hands beginning to tremble.“I need to get the hell out of here!” He panicked, eye
Him All Along
“Mr. Sanchez?” Viola staggered backward, her breath almost choking.“It’s been you all along?” She placed both hands on her chest, the shock taking her aback.Diego’s expression was stoic, his feet moving majestically toward Mandy.“Do you have it?” He asked in an impatient tone, giving the lady a stern look.“Relax, Mr. Sanchez. Why are you in a hurry?” Mandy replied, holding onto her smirk.She showed the old man the key, but when he tried to grab it, she pulled b at once.Diego understood what the look on his face meant.He quietly slid his hand into his jacket and took out a brown envelope.Whatever was inside made Mandy smile the moment she looked, then a satisfactory nod followed.“It was nice doing business with you, Mr. Sanchez…” She said, handing the key over to him.“Wait…” Diego said quietly, taking a cautious look at the key.“I need to be sure that this is the right key…” He scanned the key for a while, turning and rolling it without taking his eyes off it.“That’s the ri
