Chapter 26
At the morgue, Alexis examines the cause of the death of the five men and Erica Morale.
Shola was left outside the morgue.
"From a sharp object?" he examined it. Alexis was suddenly worried about Shola's knife. He took his cell phone and took a picture of it, then hurried out. Seeing her outside."Shola, let's go."
"Where are we going Alexis?"
"At my house, don't we have a plan?"
"Alexis, can you take me to Monticello mansion."
"Why? We had a conversation, didn't we? Are you retreating?" He just wanted to talk to her thoroughly. Because he feels different now. He doesn't want to suspect her because she is innocent but. The knife she was always carrying is ike the one used to killed, Erica? He sighed secretly.
"No, I'm just to do something there. Is it too early?"
Alexis didn't insist anymore."Okay I'll take you there."
While they were in the car, Alexis didn't start it yet, because he wanted to see the knife in her legs he knows she hiding there.
"Aren't we leaving yet, Alexis?"Shola ask because they not leaving yet.
Alexis looked at her" Shola, can I borrow your knife first?"
Shola's chest suddenly heaved."What are you going to do?" she said calmly.
"I want to duplicated, I like it because it's easy to hide," the truth is he studied the knife, because his mind said something different earlier but he didn't believe what it is. He needs a solid evidence before he takes a step. But what if his suspicion is correct? What will he do? He loves Shola. He has a plan to marry her, but everything becomes complicated when his suspicion is true. What will he choose? Is it the law that he fulfills Or, the heart that loves? Because of his thoughts, he massage the nape of his neck.
Shola noticed what Alexis was doing."Does your nape hurt?" she asked.
"It's just a little bit, maybe may blood pressure go up but don't worry later it's gone. Alexis held out his hand."Your knife."
Shola didn't want it to be shown, maybe if she refused she would be suspicious. She took the knife from her thigh and gave it to Alexis.
"Good girl!" He removed it from the bag, he looked at it closely. And took the cellphone and took a picture."I'll show it to the maker so he can make the same like yours." his alibi.
After he finished took a picture to the knife, he returned to her."Thank you, Shola," he said with a smile.
Shola smile to him too."You're welcome, Alexis." she responded.
"Let's go now," Alexis said.
Shola just nodded to him.
When they reached Monticello mansion."I'll pick you up later my love!"
Shola smiled at him and nodded.
Night come Shola already knows who her target is. She was already in front of the Congressman's house.
"Your time now Congressman. And the last one is Fernan Morale, after I granted my revenge I will return to the tribe where my home is." she said
Shola's mind asks what will happen to Alexis, the man she loves if she returns to the tribe? Can he leave him? She sighed."It's okay! As long as the important thing is I finish them!" She put on the mask and is about to enter the Congressman's house. She's like Catwoman, you can't even hear her step on the ground.
At that moment Congressman tells his people to be on the lookout. Because he felt not goid. And he thinks that the person who kills Mayor and others is suddenly in front of him because he will be the next. He told himself that. It's good that wife and children are in America now."I'm not afraid of him, whoever it is, he's only one, while I have many bodyguards who will stop him before he reaches me, he's already dead," he said to himself
Meanwhile, Alexis is in the laboratory studying the picture of Shola's knife as well as the stab wounds suffered by the victims. Alexis couldn't understand what he was feeling, he was nervous about what he could find out." Oh God, I hope it doesn't happen! she's not the killer!" He started doing his work, his nervousness was overwhelming and his mind kept saying that his diagnosis was false.
"WHO ARE YOU?" asked the Congressman because he felt someone in his room. But no one answered him, his action was quick, he opened the drawer next to the bed where the gun was, but the person who entered his house was faster and in an instant he fell on the bed covered in blood. And its neck is cut.
"That's what you deserve, say hi to Lucifer now!" Seeing that the Congressman was still moving, he seemed to want to say something. She won't give him a chance to live, she thrust the blade into his heart."Just say hello to them, okay." When she was sure that was dead, she took his body wrapped in a sheet just like a paper to carry him. She just put all his men to sleep because they were innocent. And again the lifeless Congressman was brought to the very front of Fernan Morale's house."You are the last one, Fernan Morale!" after she said that immediately left the place.
LABORATORY.
Alexis' hand was shaking as he repeated what he was doing over and over again but the result came out the same, Yes it was Shola's knife that killed the victims. When Alexis sat down, not knowing what to do, he removed the cloves he was wearing and washed his face with his hands. "Shola, why?" but when he thought of the reason."You took a revenge! But I hope you didn't put the law in your hand?" And he also wondered if there is a law in their town? Even he who enforces the law knows there is none. Because the law is Fernan Morale. Alexis' thoughts are confused, what is more important to him, his duty as a law or his love for Shola? He stood up and walked around thinking about what he should do.
"Ahhh! What should I do? I can't tell to Fernan because she will be in danger." He sat down again, pulling his hair because he didn't know what to do.
"Captain Alexis?" said the person who entered the laboratory.
Alexis immediately stood up, quickly grabbing the evidence on the table."Why, Spo2 Santiago?"
"Nothing Sir, it's late because you're still here, I'll go ahead of you."
"Alright go, I'm going home later."
"All right, Sir!" he's out.
Alexis sighed deeply, because he was nervous even though he knew he still not trusting him. He left the laboratories and went home, but when he passed near the Monticello mansion, he decided to go through Shola.
At that moment Shola was staring at the picture hanging on the stairs.
"Fernan Morale is the only one left. I know that after him you will be in peace, and so will I!" She approached the picture and caressed it. She thought of Alexis, why isn't he here yet? She sat on the step of the stairs and waited for him to come. He leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.
Alexis was already outside the Monticello mansion, he hesitated to go down. Can he confront the her? And how will he tell what he found out? Alexis closed his eyes, he didn't know what to do. He just stayed in the car and forgot about his conversation with his girlfriend.
At dawn, Fernan went home first from his daughter Erica's funeral, and visited Enrique in the hospital. It is still unconscious. They were at the gate when the car stopped.
"Why?" he asked the driver.
"Sir, there's something blocking the way."
He looked at the front."Look at it, it's trash?" he command.
The driver immediately got off.
As the driver approached, he became nervous. "Like a human, huh?" When he got closer, he didn't want to look at it because the white sheet was already red.
Fernan opened the car window."What the hell, hurry up! I want to rest!" he shouted.
Because of his master's order, he quickly looked at the contents of the blanket.
"My God! The Congressman is dead."
"What is that?" Fernan shouted again.
The driver rushed over to him."Sir, it's a dead man!"
"Don't joke! Because I don't want to hear that dead word!"
"Sir, it's true and it's the Congressman!"
"What?" He immediately got out of the car to find out if what the driver was saying was true.
When he saw this, Fernan backed away."That killer did it again, she's demon."
"Sir, who?"
He didn't answer it."Call the police!" he said.
"Yes, Sir." He picked up the cell phone and dialed.
"Ahhh! You can't kill me! I'll kill you! We'll face each other!"
OUTSIDE the Monticello mansion. Alexis was distracted by the sound of police patrols."Huh? What happened again? It's early in the morning? I didn't even notice that already morning." He looked at the mansion, it was quiet.
Shola wake up because of the sound of police patrol she already knew what happened. She stood up, went to the bathroom, got dressed, she wanted to see Fernan Morale's reaction again.
Alexis was about to leave outside to see why there were police patrols making noise again when the gate opened and Shola spat out.
When Shola saw Alexis car, she suddenly became nervous. He's here, why didn't he come inside last night, Did he slept in the car. Did he watch over her? She had to approach him.
Alexis felt very nervous especially as his girlfriend approached him. Is it time for him to learn the truth? And what will he do to get Shola to confess?
