Heck! I made a terrible mistake. Lust drove me so much that I forget to do my job. Well, it's not my fault, right? It's….it's the traffic. Right the traffic was so much that I couldn't come right on time. No, that would do it. Mr. Lukas would find it a lie the moment I uttered it. I need to make a believable excuse. All these excuses are not very well made. Think, Reyes. Think! Reyes.
There has to be a way. As I was thinking about a way out, I reached the station without realizing it. Shit. What should I do? Runaway? That would make it worse. Either way, I had to face this with confidence. Confidence is the key to success and I know that too well. I lowered my face and entered the station with a heart of guilt. Today was crowded with people. On most days it was either empty or stuffed with people. But today seemed to be a bit too much gathering here. Did someone got married or what? I mean you would invite people's this many to a wedding. Whatever, I shouldn't get distracted by the crowd. I have to focus. First thing first. I have to find Mr.Lukas who seemed not to be here for some reason. I better ask someone. Oh, that's Kelly! The day monster. It is a given name by us, his faithful colleagues.
"What's up! Seen Mr. Lukas anywhere?" I tried to act the role of the good guy.
"Busy"
What? What did you mean by 'Busy'? You never work. Now I think about it, you only get the job for using that damn PC. Don't you? All you do was stare at that monitor. You're not even doing your job now.
"I'm asking something." I tried to act as cool as possible but my anger manifested me greatly. "You want me to tell the important work you're doing to Mr. Noah?" Apperently, just like I was working under Mr.Lukas, he was also working under Mr. Noah Rox.
Kelly was the person to blackmail. A devilish grin appeared on my innocent face.
"H-huh! Fine, you don't have to say that loud."
Mission successful! Evil points have been added. As a person related to the police department, I felt shame to do such a thing to him but it was essential.
"Mr. Lukas, right?" I nodded with a bit of excitement.
"He got into a fight with the Chief."
"Chief? But for what reason?"
"Hey, pile down." I realized I was attracting attention. Realizing that I began whispering instead of talking.
"What happened? tell me with details."
Kelly made a deep sigh as if it was a pain in the ass. Because of his excessive fat. Even the slightest movement makes his whole body throbbed.
"Well, first Mr. Lukas came and went to the chamber of secrets." We call The chief's room that. "Then an intense argument broke out."
"Hey, I didn't say to start rapping the story." I did try to stop him but who listens to whom.
"The argument went intense and intense….." I got chills.
"Mr. Lukas went broad and said some unmentionable things." Probably, vulgar stuff.
"We all were enjoying the show most. They didn't just seat. The opposite person strikes with a tremendous amount of energy." This is getting better.
"Then what?"
"Mr. Lukas drop all his respect and punched chief with a blast of impact."
Wait, wait, is that even possible? "Chief didn't fall back. He also participates in that blood shredded fight."
" Wait, that can't be the truth, even if that happened, you guys would have to stop them." He ignored me completely and continued.
"The battle of them was getting more and more violent. It was a hand-on-hand battle." He began practicing boxing for some reason. "Until Mr. Lukas pulled his gun out from his Pocket. He pushed the trigger with slowmo. Lastly 'Bang' End of an awesome fight." He is mixing reality with his imaginations.
I just gazed at him with upturned eyes. "Do you seriously thought I would believe that? It's too dramatic. You should better stop watching anime."
He glanced back with a face saying "how's that even related?"
"I don't want the back story now. Just tell me the motive Mr. Lukas engaged in that argument.
"Well, to tell you the truth. The Chief had ordered him to close the case but he declined it. He didn't obey the Chief's order and continued investigating the case. Not only he didn't hand over the case but also gave orders to the search team. For those reasons, he is suspended. Until he closes the case, the suspension wouldn't lift."
It's a huge shock for me. But I a gasp that was coming. Mr. Lukas was careless. He's indeed a great detective when it comes to cases. However, his short temper is a threat to him.
"Where is he now?"
"Probably gathering his files in his room." So, he chose not to hand over the file. I somehow knew he would do that. He's not a person who would give up so easily. I was getting better to understand him. If you spend some time together, you would able to know each other better.
I was about head the way Mr. Lukas office is. Kelly grabbed my hand from the back and looked at me.
"You would stop him. Right?"
"No." He looked rather surprised hearing such a reply. I trust Mr. Lukas and I know he won't be harsh. I trust his gut. He can do something that none of us can do.
As I was about to enter Mr. Lukas's room, I saw the person I wanted to meet coming out of that room.
"Oh, Reyes. Why so late?" He asked with a bit of confusion.
What was the excuse I wanted to implement? Shit, I forgot to make a proper excuse. That left me no choice. I got to do this. My last resort.
"I'm truly sorry. I'm sorry." I bent my head forward slightly.
