Chapter 60

It was five o'clock in the morning when I woke up. An unusual opportunity for the woman who often gets up at noon.
Only then do I really wake up early every time there is class and work. But when there is nothing, he almost doesn't want to leave the bed.
I lightly tied the hair. Changed sports bra and leggings, finally the jacket that will help to hide the body from the cold of the morning breeze. It's too early to take breakfast, I'll just go jog for a while.
"She's always vomiting, what do you think happened?"
"Maybe pregnant."
I started talking from the kitchen after opening the door. It was Fergus and his right hand, Oliver.
"Do you think so?"
Pregnant? Who?
I shook my head. Trying to bring back to memory the revelation Kiesha told when we were still locked up in our own hideout.
She said something happened to her and Fergus a day before her leaving as Alga in the Da Silva mansion. Not once, but twice. And thinking about it further, one month had already passed!
It is possible that something formed in-
I quickly covered my mouth. This can't be! I need to talk to Kiesha ...
"That tiger, you're dead ..."
I hoped to turn down the corridor to the entrance, but Fergus stared and stared.
"Gee," it casually yielded to my name.
We are not close as far as I remember.
"Ms. Gavino," I corrected.
"Whatever you say ..."
Is rude!
Only my friends will let me call me Gee". He's obviously excluded.
"What?"
"I know you've been wanting to see Kiesha-"
"Are you going to take me to his jail?"
"She's in my Villa, not-"
"Sounds the same. It's still jail," I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Alright ... Think of everything you want to think," he shrugged, "Yes, you can go to her today."
Then my face lit up. Maybe what you heard is correct? Kiesha and I will meet again!
I need a words from her. Especially about the conversation heard lately.
I didn"t stay long in front of Fergus either. Although I'm happy with what he said, I can't find any reason to compromise.
In a few days of investigating with her staff, I also learned a lot, including the fact that it had nothing to do with what happened to sister Kianna. He's also doing his own investigation about it. Like us it is also eager to know what really happened? Who is really at fault?
But I don"t want to confirm the visible sincerity in his eyes. I can never spare him in the list of suspects. I will admit the gradual disintegration of the stance whenever good is known about him. I am slowly having a trust with this team. But still, I should stand firm on my ground.
I don't like his aura. That"s the only reason I can think of to keep the doubt here.
He"s handsome, so handsome! But since the news of her involvement in the tragedy that happened to Ate Kia broke, her personality has become vague to me. All of them, even Jake who would have been greatly admired. Wherever his soul is now, I cannot say that good is sought for it. He also didn't want to think that he would be in hell. I am in between, and the thought will remain the same until then.
Where are you from? "Kiesha asked tearfully when our path finally stretched as well. After a few rounds around the hideout, showering and eating breakfast earlier, I immediately agreed to come to the Villa with Zi and Fergus.
The maids served us coffee. Teresa was also politely instructed to wait for Kiesha.
If their boss was as smart as they were, maybe I would have changed my mind. Unfortunately, Fergus was too arrogant to deserve these people.
"At work," I stretched my arms for her.
She came to me in tears. A tight hug was quickly awarded.
I feel its remembrance with every caress, in the warmth of the hug. Fergus, the father of the child possibly in her womb now, must have silenced us.
"Have you really been able to find a job in this situation?"
"So I have a job because of it."
"What do you mean?"
"Fergus asked me to work for him. I am helping on finding the real culprit, with Zi and Lorie."
"He's the culprit," she sat on the couch beside me.
"It's so hard for him to read Kiesh. Even I'm confused about what he wants to happen. But upon investigating with his agents, I realized he had nothing to do with what happened. Those pictures you saw on his room?" I paused for a moment.
"What?"
"He got that from the police investigators then."
I was so smart that instead of slandering, I cleared the man's name from Kiesha's mind.
As of the moment, I don't want her to worry about the things going on around, especially the person she's with in this huge Villa. If she is really pregnant, she can't think of things that will hurt the baby. With his father we are not sure if he can be trusted.
"Those incompetent investigators?"
I nodded quickly.
We also searched for them for several months. It suddenly disappeared in the middle of the investigation. He allegedly left office at the same time. Something that makes us think about the possibility of them reconciling with the real criminal. Evidence found and hidden in the distant parts of the world must have paid dearly for oblivion.
"They're dead," Zi entered the conversation.
Kiesha was so shocked by what she heard.
"We found them in the South. Both lifeless hanging from the ceiling," I grabbed his hand. "We have to be careful. The protagonist Kiesha is not casual. It's smart and powerful."
Zi, Fergus and some powerful personnel themselves went to the area just the other day to talk to those policemen personally. Lorie and I watched their every move, both facing each other's computers. I traced them first and immediately reported their location to the top agent, Oliver. He himself said goodbye to Fergus. In the evening the group left immediately. But it's too late ...
"How about Fergus?"
"We're not sure of his true identity. The only person who can know that is you. Find out who he really is, what his plan really is," I stared him straight in the eye, "We can't trust anyone right now. Be careful, "I then kissed her forehead. "Anyway, we can't last long-"
"No way! Will you leave me again?" she hyperventilated.
We have no other choice. Fergus gave us only ten minutes to talk. I thought maybe apart from the beauty, another plan was the agreement to make.
What he didn"t know, even at the simplest glance, was that we had little to do with each other.
Ten minutes is actually long enough to make a plan, with only our eyes talking.
"We still have an investigation to prioritize Kiesha," I jokingly ruffled her hair.
I am gonna miss this brat, real bad ...
"Take me with you-"
"You're safer here ma'am," Zion interrupted what he was going to say.
"I can protect myself. The person who should be here is Gee," he snorted.
"Excuse me? I know how to fight now. Thanks to my mentor."
From him, my gaze shifted to Zi. I smiled at him sweetly. Contrary to her not even an emotion was expressed back. Hmmm ... Acting cold huh?
"Where are the photos?" Kiesha asked again after a while.
"And of course. Do you remember that woman who followed you to the Mall then?"
He nodded.
"She was included in the crime. But still can't see the face."
Lorie discovered that. He said only immediately after the incident was patched up. He also saw footage at the Mall. I seemed to be skeptical and unconditionally started the investigation. It's different for me not to even know what to prioritize.
She's pretty productive, compared to me.
"The rape didn"t happen in Spencer"s house, but in the abandoned house where your daddy and the authorities found him," I added.
"What?" he sighed violently.
"She was kidnapped on her way home."
"By Dom and Jake," Zion stood up. Placed hands in both pockets of wearing pants, looks ready to leave.
"And Fergus doesn't know?"
"That's also one of the things you should know."
Fold it. None of his own caressed the chin and very bitten lips. She's now in deep thinking ...
Even I stood up. Fergus was about to call us back to the chin.
"Wait," she firmly held my wrist. Then Zion looked back. "Can I talk to my bestfriend alone?"
He nodded and stared at me for seconds.
'Be quick'
That"s the message I read in his eyes. I simply nodded as well. Waited for his departure before facing the friend again.
"Why?"
"Will you come back here later?" his nervousness was obvious.
For what reason?
"Yes."
I am actually not sure about it. I just have to say so that he can be complacent.
"Buy me ... ummm ..." his grip on my wrist tightened even more. Averted his eyes and bit his lip.
"You're weird Kiesha," I laughed a bit.
Then he remembered another question that would have been asked of him. The only reason why the desire to come here has intensified today.
"I think I'm pregnant," she said directly. I haven't even been asked.
Oh my God!
I quickly covered my mouth, followed by several swearing.
Is this what I'm saying. This is a disaster! I still thought the pills I bought before would work so that nothing would form.
How is it now? The situation we are in now is too dangerous for the child. I told her to be wary over her decisions. Not one of what I said seemed like he didn't even remember anything.
"What the fuck? Seriously Kiesha? You probably took the pills I gave you at the right time, didn't you?"
He slowly turned the body in the other direction. Avoiding my eyes.
"You didn't ?!" my voice was inevitably raised already.
I'm crying. Things became even more chaotic.
"Sometimes I forget-"
"You know this can't happen Kiesha. Look at what your impulsiveness leads you to! The more you can't go out for-"
"We are not sure yet. I just feel it," he headed. Sadly folding the hem of the dress she was wearing.
"You want me to buy PT on our way back is that it?"
She remained silent.
"Alright. Just pray the result is really negative, be prepared for me," I said finally, before finally leaving.
I don't know what to do with her anymore. She's way more than I expected. She seems to be the queen of women who like to get into trouble.
"Why are you so quiet?" Zi asked curiously as we were on our way to the place where a witness who had just introduced himself could be found. Good luck and we were the first to talk.
He said nothing but his address and some information about what happened last night when Ate Kia and the suspects were in an abandoned house. We have to meet him in person for the detailed information.
"Something's bothering me ..."
"What?"
Exactly one pharmacy struck my sight. Reason to remember what Kiesha is changing.
"Let's stop first."
"Why?"
"Just do it anyway."
Surprisingly, he still followed my wishes. He pulled over just infront of the pharmacy. I immediately went out. Just a single shopper, no need to line up just to be served by a pharmacist.
"PT please," I said first.
"What brand?"
"Ummm ..."
"From different brands."
I quickly turned my body towards the unexpected person.
Did I think he would stay at the Villa? Wouldn"t it really let us move on its own? He is having doubts on us too ?!
"Fergus!" I almost yelled.
"That's for Kiesha right?" he raised an brow.
"No! It's for ... ummm-"
"You?" he cut me off, "That's the most hilarious lie I've heard so far."
"It's really me," I raised my forehead to match the intensity of his gaze.
"You're a virgin," he blatantly remarked.
I gasped heavily. Its mouth has no brakes either!
"How can you tell?"
"I just know ... Stop lying now Geline."
Can I still answer? He got me off-guard.
"What is happening?" Zi asked from inside the car.
"Nothing," Fergus and I replied almost simultaneously.
Nothing my foot!
"We have five PTs from different brands," the pharmacist also entered the conversation, "Will you take it ma'am?" he added.
"Yes," Fergus himself replied.
The woman immediately put our purchases in the bag. Once we turned to the calculator to see the total price of the PTs, we turned around again. But confused as to whom it will be presented. Until Fergus grabbed it before I even took it, "I'll give it to Kiesha," he said after paying the PTs.
"Thank you," I halfheartedly said.
I have no choice but to agree. Looking at him, he obviously don't take no as an answer. I"m late, what else is the importance of hiding?
But before we part ways, I wanted to do something.
"Fergus!" it would have made its way back to the car, but was stunned to look back at me.
It is now or never ... Whatever the consequences of what is done, I will accept it fully.
"I wanted to give you this," a powerful blow I unleashed, straight to his cheek.
It was shocked and did not immediately recover. Slightly backward due to short -term loss of balance.
"That's for touching my bestfriend," I said in greeted teeth.
Serves you right, Fergus the arrogant Da Silva ... Tsk!
"He really thought I would miss it, didn't he?"
"If Kiesha is really pregnant even if she pays me I will really tweak her."
"And have you seen how his eyes darkened earlier? He thought I was really scared. He's just Fergus Da Silva, I am Geline Neilani Gavino!"
I looked like a broken plaque that was repeated over and over again. Zion, on the other hand, is a relentless listener.
We are close to the address of the going witness. I am still annoyed at the thought of Fergus Da Silva, messing with my mind after what I have done.
"That's all you can do Geline? I thought you were strong now?"
He's being sarcastic! I know he hurt too much with my fist. As a person protecting his arrogant image, there's no way he'd directly point it out.
But it still had my pride aching! How dare he question my strength ?!
"You didn't even say anything?" from the front, I angrily turned to Zi.
"What else can I say?"
"What can you say about the scene earlier?"
He turned to me for a moment, before turning his eyes back to the rough road.
We are currently passing through a grassy path. If you look at the environment, it seems vague that someone else would think of settling down. It is quiet and far from civilization, possibly even inhabited by wild animals.
In an instant, I wondered if this was really the right path we were on. Why do I feel like we are heading to the gate of death, than getting close to the truth?
I was suddenly nervous for no apparent reason.
"I see a woman full of rage," he coldly said.
Scrath that! I've lost the urge to talk about that.
"Are we really in the right direction?" I opened the window to savor the fresh breeze.
"It's a short cut to the town of Asuncion."
"Why do you know this place?" I sniffed.
"Because of Oliver," he sparingly replied.
Sometimes I would come across that man talking in the kitchen, in the living room or outside. They are simply talking about things; the similarities, strengths and weaknesses. Even their own theory about ate Kianna's case. In the nearly two weeks we have been together in the same place, it is unavoidable to build a connection as well. Even if you say you can just fool around.
Fergus the arrogant Da Silva's men seems to be pure and sincere. Except for the boss they probably conceived out of resentment. Because if you can ruin the sun, to the fullest.
I nodded. This time, he chose to remain silent instead of continuing the argument, which didn't really make sense. I"m done venting all my resentment at Fergus. Even if you get lost here, not everything that happened then will be changed. My bestfriend got intoxicated. Ultimately, only he can tell what the course of life will be. If she will choose to stay with his kidnapper or run away, I don't have anything to do about it.
"You're done?" Zi asked suddenly after the long silence.
"Not yet ... Just resting," I reached for his right hand, "I'll stretch again later. Just wait ..."
"That's scary."
"You should just be really scared," I clasped our hands.
If we are disgraced for doing this, who else is to blame? Of course, it"s just my flirtation too.
The flight took a few more minutes before we finally reached the destination. I immediately called the witness, along with the panta-track on the number it uses just to confirm the pointed location. In case he's just fooling us, it's good to be prepared.
"We're on our way there."
It took about ten more seconds before he answered.
"From the highway, turn right. You'll see a wooden waiting shed. Stop opposite that and enter the small road. Just go straight to the last house."
He correctly described the information provided by the gadget I was holding. He's not lying, good thing ...
"Alright, wait for us," I quickly hanged up, "We're in the right location."
The fact is that the vehicle was actually stopped some distance from the witness's house. We didn"t just go out first.
"Maybe I'll just come in."
Like Zi I also removed the seatbelt.
"I'm coming."
"Maybe it's a trap."
"So what? Here we can test what you taught me," I casually grabbed the gun that was on the dashboard. He pinned it to the side of his pants, then came out first.
"You're really stubborn Geline," it criticizes in a baritone voice.
"When did I become obedient?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"You are starting to be a trouble now," he crossed his arms over his chest. He was just wearing a white T-shirt that was very close to his body. Pair simple pants and brown boots. Even his small gestures shows how hard his muscles were. The biceps and triceps are shinning through my vision, so with the veins on his arms down to his hands.
Her hair is getting longer now. It made him look messy, but breathtaking attractive. The image of Zion Leander that was first seen returns to my sight. The person who is just starting out, I know will be loved too much.
He was once became a subject of my doubts. But now the apple my eye. I just really ate the taunts released then. I ended up getting crazy over this man.
But so much for that. I am on an important mission. I need to focus!
'Then you'll fantasize about your girlfriend Geline!'
"Can you stop teasing me first?" nothing of my own saying.
"Huh?" his brows furrowed.
"Just, let's just go in."
To be continued...
