Everyone was silent when Amer asked Dominic. He took a long time to answer. He didn’t know how he could find a defense and an alibi.
“Dominic, are you listening to my question?” Amer asked again.
“Alright, I know it was my fault because I didn’t tell you right away what I discovered. I told Kyla not to tell first before we will tell you all if we have a piece of solid evidence, because I still gathered some information.” Dominic replied.
“Oh! So you seem to break the protocol. Okay, we will give you a second chance but please tell us every detail that you know about.” Amer told him.
“I talked to Abigail. She said to me she suspected one of her family that there will be a connection why her mom died.”
“Did Abigail know we are working on her case?” Amer asked.
“No, I never told her. I just kept on listening to her. She said to me that there is stock room in her place. Where sometimes she notices that her dad always went there.” Dominic said.
“Maybe that’s where we can find the evidence.” Said Naneth.
“So! What are we going to do, sir Amer?” Bea asked.
“I don’t know. Is anyone who has an idea? So we can get into their house. They must not realize that we are going to do something there.” Amer replied.
“I can go in and out of Uncle Louie’s house in case I can’t directly ask him what’s in their stockroom,” Dominic said.
“We will make a plan that no one will notice what we do inside the house.” Gio’s suggestion.
“That would be a great idea, sir Gio,” Dan replied.
“So! When do we start the plan?” Sofia asked.
“Well, as soon as possible,” Amer replied.
“All I know is that there is an event at their house. Uncle’s birthday is on Friday. That is the best time for them not to be noticed.” Dominic’s suggestion.
“Ah! Great suggestion. Tomorrow we will have a meeting about the plans we will make. I’m sure Dominic and Gio were invited because I know if Louie will invite sir Roel, of course, Gio will be there. And Dominic will be there because of his parents, too. We will talk about our plans tomorrow.” Said Amer.
The other staff returned to their seats while Althea was still sitting there waiting for Gio and Dominic to come out.
“Friend, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about what Dominic and I talked about. I didn’t know they were going to fight. ”
“Kyla, didn’t I tell you we have no secrets from each other? Everything I have in mind I’m telling you!” contributed said Naneth.
“I know. I’m just stuck when I have no choice. He’s under me!”
“So! You just tolerate what he does. He’s lucky sir Amer is kind, if not sympathetic. I’m really afraid that in our situation we won’t get caught.” Said Naneth.
“Yeah. That’s also one thing I’m worried about. What if we get caught?” thought Kyla.
The two of them just sighed.

At the home of the Roa family.
As they ate as a family, they talked about Louie’s birthday.
“Oh! Dad, it’s your birthday on Friday. So! What’s your plan, dad? Abigail asked.
“Ah! Only a small celebration will be held here at our house.” Louie replied.
“But you know you have a friend a lot dad, do you think it fits in the house?”
“Yeah! I thought that too. Maybe just at the hotel.”
“Louie can too. Because it’s embarrassing for the guests if they crowd the house.” Natasha groaned.
Their dinner was over. A few hours ago, Louie and Natasha were in bed. Abigail went for a walk with her friends.

Martha begged her sister to leave first to find her husband. Martha’s sister’s baby was crying. Her sister didn’t want her to leave, and she insisted. That was the beginning that she never came back to them. She wandered around. She was on the road for a few days, always begging for food from people passing by, and sometimes she was even chased away. Some nights she only slept on the side of the road with only cardboard. It was raining and getting hot so he could just find her husband.
One day she was crossing the road…
The man’s mind was so confused because of what he did to his wife that he killed her unintentionally instead of him not leaving her and taking her to the hospital. He left her for fear of imprisoning him. He went to the bar for a drink and forgot what he had done. The bar was already closed, and he was the only one left. The staff sent him home to the bar. He was still driving, even though he was very drunk. His car was moving fast when he did not realize that a woman had crossed. The woman hit the front shield of the car.
He was so drunk that he immediately went downstairs to see who he had hit. A woman, unkempt and smelly because she had no bath. He woke her up, but she lost consciousness and he saw her bloody head. He took the woman and took her to the hospital.
“Ahh! Please need to see my husband’s sister.” That’s what Natasha said in her dream.
Louie tapped her because she was dreaming again.
“Natasha, are you alright?”
Natasha woke up with a lot of sweat coming out of her body.
“Ah! I never dreamed again. I’ll just go down and get some water. Go to sleep. I’m sorry I woke you up. I’m fine.”
“All right, are you sure you’re okay?” Louie asked again.
“Yes, I am fine. Sleep. You still have a job tomorrow.”
Natasha goes downstairs to drink water in the kitchen. He first checked to see if everyone was asleep. Abigail wasn’t there, so she thought of calling Naneth.
“Hello Naneth, sorry I disturbed you?
“It’s not Mrs. Roa. What do you need? ”
“Naneth, Louie’s birthday is on Friday. The plan is to be held at home in case Abigail suggests at the hotel because he has a lot of guests. There is no one in the house. I wish you would come here and take another look at our stockroom at the back of the house. I am surrounded by Louie hiding something from us.” Said Natasha.
“Isn’t what I’m going to do dangerous? Doesn’t your house have CCTV?” Naneth replied.
“There is, but I know where that area is. I’ll also try to turn off the monitor after we leave, first if Louie and Abigail leave. I’ll wait for you here before I go to the party. I will leave the key to the stockroom.”
“All right,” Naneth agreed, because that was their chance to find evidence.
“All right, be careful. I’ll just give you instructions when we meet. Have to go because Louie is calling me.” Said Natasha.
“All right, thank you. You, too, must be careful what you do.”
“I’ll take care of it,” she said. “Yes, hon! I’m coming.” Said Natasha.

Since Kyla and Naneth were just next to the bed, Kyla asked who called her in the middle of the night.
“Mrs. Roa called me Kyla. She told me that the plan had been changed instead of the party being held at home and the hotel.”
“Really? What is our plan?”
“Don’t worry, because Mrs. Roa told me. She said she would let me into their house.”
“What? Isn’t that dangerous what you do we mean? I know there are CCTVs in their house. Of course, that can be monitored.”
“You are right, but Mrs. Roa will find a way. So we can get in there. Oops! Mrs. Roa may be surprised by us. Then show me when she’s gone.” Said Naneth.
“Also, what is Mrs. Roa’s plan?
“She said she would let Louie and Abigail leave first. She will leave first. She will just look for an alibi because she will wait for me to give the duplicate key to their stockroom.” Naneth explained.
“Okay, all right, I understand. Friend, good luck with the dangerous thing we will do.” Said Kyla.
“What is dangerous? Of course, let’s let the team know, so I have a backup. It is dangerous, but we know we can handle it. I agreed to the request of Mrs. Roa so that we can also make the team plan that we will talk about.” Naneth replied.
“That’s right Naneth, let’s go to sleep because your noise is a good dream of mine!”
~~~~~
Robin called Lira to say hello to her.
“Hello, it’s good that you even thought of calling me.” Disgusted, Lira said.
“You opened up to me badly. Of course, you brought my child.”
“So, you mean you only greet your child? If I wasn’t pregnant now, would you still remember me?” Lira replied angrily.
“I didn’t say that. You said that, not me. Ah! Did you call me the other day?” Robin asked.
“Oh! Well, you mentioned that. Who did you answer me? You’re a new girl again!”
“What is happening to you Lira, you are paranoid. That’s my cousin Abigail.” Robin replied.
“Ah! I thought it was another woman first. You know Robin, I can’t trust you anymore. You always stress me out.”
“What are you, Lira? Everything I do you think is stressing you out? My wife is not stressed. You are just the mother of my child.” Robin replied.
“What did you say? Am I just the mother of your child? If I only knew that my life would be like this for you, it would be better if I just followed my mother’s advice.” Lira replied angrily.
“There is no point in this conversation Lira, just call me again when your head is no longer hot.” Robin drops the call.
“Robin, just wait.” Robin couldn’t hear her anymore because he was dropping the call.
~~~~~
The next day…
Kyla and Naneth went for a walk to the mall. Because of their wages, they go shopping. Naneth also sent money to her auntie and Kyla also sent it to her grandmother, where her mother and brother were.
As they were walking, something collided with Kyla.
“You walk slowly, brother, the width of the path ah!” annoyed Kyla said.
The man raised his face.
“Anthon?” shocked Kyla said. Anthon is Kyla’s ex-boyfriend who obsesses with her and hurts her so she leaves it.
“What are you doing here?
“Kyla, I want to talk to you.”
Anthon grabbed her arm. She is struggling.
“Excuse me, release my friend.”
“Who are you! You don’t care if you want to talk to Kyla.”
“You are stupid! What else are you going to talk about? Aren’t you her ex already?” Disgusted, Naneth said.
Anthon dragged Kyla, Kyla shouted, and Naneth followed. Anthon took Kyla to the parking lot in the basement.
“Can you let me go?” Anthon’s grip on her was tight.
“Listen, I have no intention of hurting you. I just have information to tell you.” Anthon replied.
“No matter what you say, I don’t care. Please release me first. I’m already hurting.” Kyla, please.
“Anthon, release Kyla first.” Said Naneth.
“I won’t hurt Kyla. We’ll just talk.”
Kyla found a way. She trampled on his adulthood and he immediately let her go. They both ran to Naneth’s car. Naneth immediately started the car and drove it fast.
They were breathing well as they exited the parking lot.
“Kyla, what happened to your ex is that he is going crazy? What is he saying?”
“I didn’t even know I knew him!”
“What is he saying that he wants to talk to you privately? For what? He might hurt you again. So don’t believe him anymore.” Naneth’s note.
“So that’s it! Our day off was ruined. Let’s just go to the bar.”
“Oh! Really! I’m cool there, I miss the bar. And that’s where our friendship began. Haha,” Naneth laughed.
“Exactly! So I can’t forget the bar!”
Kyla and Naneth went straight to the bar to enjoy their one day off.
What scene will take place at the bar they are going to?
