Chapter 22

THE MASK ordered at Shola, " Ahhh! She's not bad, and he has nothing to do with my family; as long as I can fight what's on my mind, I'll do it. I don't want you to perish by my own hands, Alexis. No!" As she said, the mask stuck to her face even more. Shola screamed quietly and covered her mouth because Alexis was just outside. When her voice went out, he would definitely go to her immediately. That's enough!" She said, forcefully removing the mask. And she removed it. She breathed deeply.

Shola spent a few hours in case Alexis left or fell asleep in his car. She looked at him again, his eyes closed. She felt that Alexis was in deep sleep. She put the mask back on her face and carefully exited. She took the governor's car; she didn't get in it; she just pushed it to the gate so as not to create a noise that wouldn't wake up Alexis if he was asleep.

She went back inside the house only to take the governor's body and the other man. She carried them like a sack of cotton, and the two men were easily loaded into the car. She did the same, pushing the car a bit far so that Alexis wouldn't feel any noise. When she knows that she is already far away, she gets on board and will take the dead bodies of the two to Fernan's house. This is where they meet at their boss's house.

When Shola reached the Morale mansion, She grinned. Fernan Morale, here's my gift to you again; you're almost like them." She left quickly.

MORNING. 

Enrique and his friend woke up early to go jogging when they're back.

There was a commotion in front of their house. Bro, what happens there?" asked Enrique's friend.

"Damn! Bro, it looks like someone is dead again, ah!"

"Again? Just yesterday, the mayor and his son had it."

"Come, let's go to see what happens," Enrique said to his friend.

The two hurriedly approached the crowd. What's going on here?" asked Enrique.

"Sir, Enrique, the Governor," replied an old man.

"Why him?"

"He's dead; he's the one in the car, and it's with someone else."

"Bro, what's going on already here? People are dying one after another."

"Let's go inside, bro; Daddy needs to know this; call the police now," Enrique ordered the people.

Enrique ran to his parents' room. Daddy, Mommy." Knocking was done one after the other. DADDY!" he shouted.

The couple was taken aback. Fernan got up and headed for the door. Why, Enrique? It's early in the morning; you are so noisy," he said.

"Dad, something happened again."

"Hmmm, what happened?"

"The Governor, Dad. He's dead!"

"What?"

"Yes, Dad. I saw it outside our house."

"Enrique, don't joke on me; it's early morning, huh?"

"Dad, I'm not joking. It's true!"

"Damnit!" He hurriedly put on the robe.

"Son, are you sure what you see?" the lady asked.

"Mommy, my eyes are clear; this is the governor."

"Why is there a massacre here?"

"Well, Mommy, I don't know what's going on here now."

"Enrique, join me outside."

"Yes, Dad."

When they got off, Dad, Enrique, what's happening?" Erica asked. Because of the noise outside, she woke up.

"Nothing, hija; go back to sleep still early."

"Dad, something is happening again, isn't it? I heard a police patrol outside."

"Stay here; Enrique and I will go out."

At the Monticello mansion, Alexis woke up. He looks at his watch; it's seven in the morning. For him, the whole night was good; nothing happened. He needed to go home to take a shower because he had duty. He slept well last night. He looked at the mansion; it was quiet. He thought that Shola was still sleeping. As soon as he left, he frowned on the highway because there were police patrols going to Fernan Morale.

When someone passed by a patrol car, he waved. The police car stopped immediately.

"Spo2, Santiago, what's up? And where are you going?"

"Sir, to Fernan Morale."

"Why?"

"Sir, someone has dumped a dead body in front of his house, and they say it's the governor."

"What? I'll go with you."

When they arrived, the bodies of the two men were put in the ambulance. "Can I look at it for a moment?" Alexis stopped them.

It was taken down. Alexis removed the white cloth covering the two.

"Alexis," Fernan called to the young man.

"Sir."

"Look, just like the mayor, it means that there is only one person responsible for killing them."

"Sir, maybe the one who did it was so angry with them that he killed them?"

"That's impossible, Alexis. Damnit! Handle this case; you're the one I want to focus on it."

"Alright, sir, I'll do everything I can to solve it."

"Good, I want to catch that criminal as soon as possible. I want to know who he or she is."

"But, sir, I will tell you the truth; it will be difficult for me, or we have no clue, no evidence of what happened."

"Them, you must find out, Captain Alexis. It is your job now." Fernan left Alexis.

Even Alexis had the question in his mind: who was responsible for killing the four? Since he came to this town, He only had a few cases. This is murder by rape. Even if they know who does it, they can't do anything because they hold the law. To be honest, he was a little happy to lose the mayor and governor. Because they are savages in the flesh.

When Fernan Morale entered their house, he went straight to the library room. He was spinning around inside, thinking, Ahhh! No matter who you are, you won't succeed in killing me? You're taking us one by one, damnit!" In his mind, a woman comes in, the lady in red. But he doesn't think she can kill people; even though he didn't see her face, he thinks she was innocent, and how can a woman kill four men? Also, they're big and strong. He sighed deeply. Whether he admits it or not, he also feels fear. "The Mayor, the Governor, who will be the next Congressman and others? Or, it's me? Just don't feel sorry for my family, whoever you are, because before I die, you first!" he said.

At the precinct, Alexis didn't know where to start with the case he was holding.

"Sir, it's noon; haven't you eaten yet?" If one of his companions had spoken, Alexis wouldn't have known the time because he was thinking about the case.

"Go ahead; I'll follow you, Spo2 Santiago."

"Okay, sir, I go now."

Alexis nodded to the man.

When Alexis remembered Shola", I have to go see her; maybe she hasn't eaten yet?" He hurried out of the room. When he passed a cafeteria, he stopped his car to buy food for the two of them.

At that time, Shola was resting and had just finished cleaning the yard. She cleaned it well because of the blood that was scattered.

Alexis arrived at the mansion, and Shola happily greeted the boyfriend. And they shared lunch brought by the young man. After they finished eating, Alexis immediately said goodbye to the girl because she still had work.

Before Alexis left, Shola, we're going to have a dinner out tonight, okay?"

"Alright, I'll wait for you."

"Bye, I love you, Shola."

"I love you, Alexis!" She imitated what he said.

"Come here first."

"Huh why?"

"I'm just going to hug you because you're cute."

"Hmp! Go away now."

"Okay, if you don't want a hug, just give me a kiss."

"I don't want to either." But with a quick kiss on his cheek, she did.

Alexis laughed at what she did. "Let's meet later."

Shola nodded, then waved at him.

Shola immediately went inside the house and took a shower because she was going to look for Fernan's other crew the night they killed her family. Get ready because you will be next," she said to the one who met her.

Shola came out of the mansion; her face was covered, so no one could see the mask she was wearing.

Shola easily found the rest of Fernan's men. It's different when wearing a mask; even if she's far away, she can hear something. She found them; they had duties in their barangay as captains. Even though they are old, their faces are still the same.

Shola waited again for nightfall. To take aim at them. He singled out all of Fernan's tentacles. As the mayor and governor said, Fernan, the one they taught, had a plan for everything.

"Just a little while, and you will be next. Fernan Morale, I will prepare the day we will face each other." Shola left the last house she went to.

On the night of their dinner date, Alexis picked up his girlfriend and brought her to his favorite restaurant. When they got out of the car, Alexis took Shola's hand. They walk hand in hand.

They were about to enter the restaurant when they met Erica.

Alexis just nodded to the woman. And Shola smiled at her.

Erica had a bad look at Shola, especially when she saw the two holding hands. No, this can't be done, Alexis. You are mine; damn you, whoever you are, I want to get rid of you in my way; tonight you will be gone." Her mind said she passed the two when she reached her car. She called someone. His father was men's.
