"Hey!! Get your old wrinkly hands off me!!!"
" Shut your crappy mouth you ungrateful little brat!!! I have been working as a police for 20 years and I've never met a weirdo who acts like you before!!!"
"Ha!! That just means you suck at your job and didn't get a promotion for the past 20 years to meet high-class cases like this!!"
"He ttui!! A lawbreaker like you brought a ton of shame to the face of criminals and society!! Who wears a hello kitty mask to break the law!!?? Let see what kind of face you hide under that mask!!
" Wai.. wait!!! You can't!! You are disrespecting my privacy!!!" No!!! No!!! NOOOO!!!!!"
Scarlett: "..."
Ashely: "..."
"Say... Scarlett... Why is she wearing a hello Kitty mask?" Ashely asks without looking at Scarlett beside her. Both of them are staring at the chaos that happens in front of them without expression.
"....Again I will remind you that this is not my idea" Scarlett shrugs before looking at the person beside her. "Can you stop them?" She asks with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes.
"... It's not impossible..." Ashely mumble before taking a deep breath. She looks at the pinned Serena on the floor who struggles with the uncle policeman that trying to grab her mask.
" Ehem!!!" Ashely claps her hands as she raises her voice. The surrounding area then becomes quiet as people realized that two important figures are standing and watching the chaos spread out.
The uncle policeman who still trying to pull the mask from Serena's face stops his movement. He raises his face only to see two beautiful women are staring at him.
"These two ladies are...?" He asks politely despite the confusion these two women brought to him. He knew right away that both these women in front of him shouldn't be provoked.
"We will take over..." Ashley reply in a calm manner.
"But... This girl is..." The policeman keeps wanting to refuse the other woman who looks colder than the one in front of him speak.
"We know her..." Scarlett cough before looking away when she sees Serena gazes.
"May I know who both of you are?" The policeman asks again. Not satisfied with their answer.
"I am the president of Zimo company, Ashley, and this is the President of Sun company, Sol Scarlett". Ashley let out a polite smile at the policeman. " There is a misunderstanding that happened and it leads to this situation. I hope you can understand and release her as she meant no harm".
The policeman becomes speechless when he heard President Ashely's last sentence. His inner thought is, 'No!! I don't understand at all!!! How did a misunderstanding lead to a woman wearing a hello kitty mask, breaking into a company and fight with the guard here!!!???'. But, inner thought is inner thought after all and no one can hear it. So, the uncle police can only force a polite smile as he gets up from Serena's body.
"But... President!!!!" Suddenly another girl came. This person is the one who works behind the counter and also the one who called the police earlier. She is Carla.
Carla looks dissatisfied as she glares at President Scarlett. "They are causing a ruckus inside the company!!!" She points at Serena and Scarlett before looking at Ashley.
" They are delaying everyone's works and breaking into the company without permission and causing a lot of ruckuses!!! Why are you letting them go easily!!??" Carla pout as she stomps toward Serena.
Serena was taken aback when she sees the counter girl coming toward her with an angry face. She was about to stand up when the counter girl grabs her mask. She didn't even get to avoid that hand as it comes suddenly.
"Look President!!! This person under the mask is the famous third wheeler in your relationship!!!" When Carla succeed in grabbing the mask, she held it in front of her in other to show it to the President. Her face looks proud but, after a few seconds, she realized that no one paid attention to her action but looking at the person behind her.
Carla frowns as she looks behind only to see someone with a Batman mask staring at her.
Serena: ( •_•) Ashely: (•_• )
Carla: (° °)
The police: (☉｡☉)!
Everyone else: (・o・)
"Hey... That's rude coming from you!!!" Serena teases the counter girl as she grabs the hello kitty mask from her.
"You!!!! You!!!" Carla's face becoming redder as she choked on her words.
"ALRIGHT!! THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" Suddenly, Ashely raises her voice and gets to attract everyone's attention again.
"As I said Before, this is a misunderstanding. I know that ...," Ashely paused for a short moment as she looks at Serena who is still wearing a mask. Ashely knows that Serena is hiding her identity. That's why she is wearing the mask. "—what the masked girl did is wrong. But, as I said before, there's a misunderstanding on my part therefore, I won't press any charges".
Facing the dissatisfied expression of her workers, Ashely can only sigh as she looks at Scarlett for help.
Scarlett nods at Ashely before stepping forward. "My friend here is sick. She has schizophrenia. That's why she is acting like this. It's a mistake on my part therefore, I will apologize". Scarlett then bows down to the policemen and when she raises her head, she sees the uncle police's face with tears in his eyes.
"I see... I see... She is very young and yet she is very sick... How pitiful." The police wipe the tears in his eyes. Everyone who listens to Scarlett's explanations also changes their expression. They all look at Serena with sympathy in their eyes as they whisper between themselves.
"I see... What a pity..."
"Must be chronic for her to come into a company like this..."
"That's right... Normal people will not act like her... She must be sick".
Serena who hears the president's fake excuse only has two things in her mind that is, the president is a Genius' so, she is clapping her hand enthusiastically at President's acting skill. Secondly, she is glad that she's wearing a mask if not, she can only buried herself 6feet underground.
"Alright.. we will go now! I hope we don't delay your work!" The uncle policeman nod at the president before patting Serena's shoulder.
"Keep holding on!! Don't give up!!!" Then the uncle policeman gives Serena a thumb up before saying goodbye.
As the uncle policeman walks away with his team, Serena can still hear the uncle policeman mumble the words pitful and the like at her.
Serena: .....
"Alright everyone!!! Please continue your work and please don't spread any rumors about what happened today!!". Ashely continues to give instructions before signaling Serena to follow her and Scarlett to her office.
Serena smiles as she follows them. As she walks past Carla, from the eye hole of her mask, Serena winks at the dark looking Carla.
Carla shudders before turning away to return to her work area.
Serena just shrugged at her action and continue to goes inside the elevator with the presidents.
When the door of the elevator closed, Serena is the first person to break the silence.
"Have you guys finish talking it out?" Serena with the hello kitty mask, leaning on the wall with crossed arms, ask in a serious voice.
Scarlett stares at Serena for a few seconds before looking away. " Some part, yes".
Serena nods in understanding and silence returns.
Ashely looks at Serena than at Scarlett in confusion. ' what's with this sudden serious atmosphere?? ', She thought.
"Is there some part that you didn't tell me ?" Ashely asks with a frown. She doesn't like Scarlett keeping secrets from her, especially if she knows that the secret will have her involved.
Right after Ashely asked that question, the elevator reached the floor of her office.
"We'll explain to you in your office". Serena answer.
Ashely stares at her before nodding slowly. Ashely feels awkward whenever she looks at Serena. Until today, she still believes that Serena is trying to seduce her girlfriend. There are many times she saw and received reports about what Serena had done. Suddenly, today Scarlett told her that Serena is actually on the same side as them.
The three of them walk quickly into Ashely's office. Serena quickly locks the door before rushing towards her backpack to open it.
"You guys talk .. I need to check a few things first!". Serena quickly opens her hello Kitty mask, then the batman mask, and lastly, the zorro mask.
"You wear three masks?" Ashely asks in disbelief.
"Safety comes first!" Serena replied with a small smile on her face before proceeding to take out the laptop from her backpack.
"Prez... I hope you realize that you need to tell her everything about what almost happened to us just now".
Ashely frowns when she heard Serena's words. "Are you hiding something from me, Scarlett?" When she looks at her girlfriend's face, she sees the dark expression of Scarlett.
Scarlett takes a deep breath before looking at Ashely with soft eyes. "We almost got into an accident..." Scarlett speaks after a few seconds.
Ashely's pupil shrinks when she heard Scarlett's explanations. "What!! Are you okay!!? Are you hurt anywhere!!??" Ashely quickly walks towards Scarlett and touch her body to search for any injury.
Scarlett let out a soft sigh before pulling on Ashely's hand gently and put it on her cheek. "I'm fine... Don't worry".
"You should worry a little..." Suddenly, Serena's voice cut the good atmosphere between the couple.
Serena has a serious expression as she sits on Ashely's work desk with her laptop on her crossed legs. "It's not an accident, it's an attempted murder."
Scarlett who is holding Ashely's hands feels her hands shake. She was about to release Ashely's hand to hide her tremble only to feel Ashely's grip tighten in her hand. She looks up to see Ashely's reassuring gaze toward her.
"This is the video I got from the surveillance camera at the road we use today". Serena turns the laptop screen to face the couple. "In the video, the car that I drove today was followed by a black Range Rover car after we went out of the company. After that, the car disappeared when it reaches the part of the road where there is no surveillance camera. When we stop at the highway, a lorry at a very high speed is coming towards us".
"It is clear that the part where their action is not recorded on the camera was where they had interaction. Apparently, the surveillance camera on this site was broken for a few weeks".
"From your explanation, this can still be count as an accident, right?" Ashely asked.
"From outsider perspectives, yes!" Serena looks up to see both Scarlett and Ashley's expression." But, from an insider perspective...," Serena paused as she clicked on her laptop a few times before showing it at the couple again. " That highway is not the only place with broken surveillance camera".
What Serena is showing is the last video recorded on the different surveillance cameras at different locations. " Noticed any connections?" Serena asked in playful tones, but her face is still showing a lot of seriousness.
"All the roads are...." Ashely and Scarlett both have an ugly expression on their face. "
"They are all the roads that Scarlett always uses to go somewhere. Either to the company, home, or anywhere else that comes to your mind".
"Someone is planning to kill you and I'm sure you know who they are...." Serena let out a smirk as she stares at both Scarlett and Ashely's face.
