Brie scrutinizes Rosa's expression. She looks at Hermes. Hermes looks back at Brie and shrugs then turns his gaze to Rosa.
Senator Graysen's phone rings breaking the silence. He speaks as soon as he presses the answer button. "Hermes Marco is here. Did you send him to come?"
"Give the phone to him." The Godfather's voice breaks out at the other end of the line.
Hermes accepts Graysen's phone begrudgingly. "Hi, Godfather." He stutters a bit.
Midas hisses, "Who told you to go there?"
"Well, Rosa's manager was with me at the island resort site. So, we flew straight here."
"Senator Graysen allowed you to land?"
"Am here already Mr. Godfather. What do you think?"
"Impertinent. Give the phone back to Graysen."
"Godfather," Graysen speaks over the phone.
Midas Marco's voice becomes serious. "We made some investigation. The secretary-general just sent you the information. Check your e-mail."
Graysen walks out in the direction of his office.
"Wait for me. I'll come with you, Mr. Senator." Midas follows Graysen.
Graysen sits still behind his office table. He clicks the file to open. The Liberal Party's investigation found out that it was not an accident but a deliberate ambush. Graysen closes his computer.
They cannot pinpoint the mastermind. It was not their rival party who did it. Their opponent is busy preparing their PR campaign against them as of the moment. They need more time to investigate further to find out the instigator.
Hermes disrupts him. "What's in the report Senator Graysen?"
"Did you plan the accident?" Graysen asks in a grave tone.
"It's not me. Rosa was with you. Why would I do it?"
Graysen laughs hard walking back to the main house. He looks back to Hermes. "You need more calcium to strengthen your knees. You get scared easily."
Hermes pulls his hair wanting to strangle the senator for playing him.
Graysen hugs Rosa as soon as he sees her while chatting with Brie in the kitchen.
Rosa stands from her seat. "I think it's time for you two to go home and rest. Thank you for dropping by literally."
Brie jumps from her seat. "Alright. See you in two days."
"Where are you ladies going?" Hermes quickly inquires.
"No need to be there. Just send Rosa's dessert and my frappe." She tugs Hermes' sleeves. "Let's go lover boy. Time to bring me up in the air again."
Rosa whispers to Brie. "Are you now lovers?"
"Of course not," Brie vehemently denies.
Senator Graysen embraces Rosa from behind as they watch the two hitch on to the helicopter until it takes off. He closes his eyes while inhaling Rosa's scent. They cannot afford too much time to look for the culprit. The safety of his family is at stake
The senator reviews the accident in his mind over again. He seems familiar with the ambush.
