I parked my car out of my brother's ground. I got out of the car and went straight to their house. There, I found him crazily playing the xbox.
"Aunt!" Mena greeted me with a smile.
I handed him the bag I was carrying.
"That's all, where's Eron? And Sassi?" I was looking for her two siblings.
"In the market buying vegetables and meat. Aunt, do you want to drink? There's juice in the fridge." I shook my head. Mena is such a kind girl she deserves happiness.
"No thanks Mena, continue what you're doing."
She nodded and went back to what she was doing. I looked at my older brother and approached him.
The sound of the video game is too loud. I took the remote on his side and turned the tv off. He stopped and looked at me.
"You're here," he said and leaned back on the sofa, he looked so tired playing.
"I've been letting you do this, I'm not bothering you, I'm following your orders. But please don't make yourself tired for your children and your wife."
This is really too much, my older brother is not an abusive father. He does not hurt his children. He's soft but just tired.
"Fix yourself. Build up your family, get a job, have fun with your family, spare a time for them. You will surely blame yourself at the end for letting these video games eat you, for letting your own problem destroy your family. Please... "
It was almost a beg. I don't want the day to come to break up their family and make her wife tired. Humans felt tired too.
Joson is a kind man and I adore him even though he has changed. My treatment of him didn't.
Suddenly my cell phone rang, I said goodbye to him and left their house. I picked the call.
"Where? All right."
As part of me being a lawyer, it is also part of me to know the truth behind a series of cases. This may be risky but I am interested to know the truth.
I got in my car and went straight to the address. Another case was reported today. Something about the other undone case.
I parked my car when I arrived at the address he gave me. It's a five-star hotel. I entered the hotel itself and went straight to the 8th floor. I arrived there with the police filming the incident. Yu approached me.
"No body, only one blood was found. We immediately received a report from the housekeeper of this hotel, the one who's currently living in this room is nowhere to be found so we assume it's her blood, the blood will be tested to confirm if it is her blood? We should wait 24-72 hours before the result. There is a suspect in the incident, the housekeeper came across a bloody man. "
I looked at the man who was being cuffed by the police and he was still struggling. They passed by us and stopped.
"I need a fvcking lawyer to defend me! I am innocent, can't you see?" the man's struggle with those holding him.
"Right now you're the first suspect, prove yourself innocent to the court." The man looked at me and looked at my ID.
"I need you, defend me. I am innocent!"
From the way he looked and spoke, I didn't seem to believe he was innocent. This man looks like a warfreak. But maybe not because he looks like a warfreak, we can't immediately say that he murder, still we need proper evidence and testing.
"Sure, I'll defend you mister. But that doesn't mean I can cover up your sins." I answered. They left in front of us and went down.
There were no weapons used. We checked the CCTV footage and found no face of the man in it. So did he go through the window?
But it's on the eighth floor he'll have a hard time climbing out the window, unless he used something to climb.
We checked the whole place and found nothing. There is no rope or anything passable. It is also difficult to climb the hotel because there is no one to climb on the side.
So weird, how did the guy get inside? He didn't even check in at the hotel and no one saw him enter the hotel. What trick did he use to get in?
These traces just prove 70% he did something in the room. We also didn't see the woman who checked in here so that means she was in the room at that time but how did she disappear? Why no corpse? And why did we only see blood?
We searched the whole place and there was no place to put or hide the body. Would we believe he's a vampire eating flesh?
How funny. I was just shaken.
While interviewing the male suspect inside, I was outside observing the pictures I have in my phone. My head hurts here.
For now that man will be called as an accused person, no evidence has been given to say he is a killer and the police do not yet know whose blood is there.
He will be filed another case as trespassing without the permit of the hotel, because that is one of the hotel's policies. And for that he will be 24 hours in prison if there is no evidence available he will be released.
"Atty. Cosque he wanted to talk to you." I nodded and followed inside. They closed the door and then I confronted the male suspect. I sat across from him, a large table between us.
"I am sure, anyone here will sue me and file a case against me. Attorney, I am telling you this, I am innocent."
"I'll do what I can to help. First, tell me the truth: what did you do in that room?" he was silent and seemed hesitant to answer.
"I can't tell you, you won't believe me."
I leaned back in my seat and waited for him to tell me the truth.
"Tell me," he took a deep breath and looked at me.
"I am from somewhere far away, I just woke up and found my feet standing in that room. I was surprised when I saw blood on the floor, I didn't notice that."
"You're not answering me mister, how did you enter the room without traces? What did you use?"
"I told you I came from far away and all of a sudden I was stranded in that place."
"Did you use magical powers then?" he was silent trying to sink something inside his brain. He leaned closer.
"We're too old to believe in that kind of thing, let them accuse me for something that I've never done. And you as a lawyer should help me." Then he finally says something quite classy.
"Alright mister don't worry you won't be jailed for a long time, until the DNA will be released if that blood is confirmed to be Leemira. You are still accused, you still have to be in jail for 24 hours before you can finally go home. " He nodded and leaned back in his chair.
"My first day here looked very rewarding," he said.
"By the way, you are?" I ask.
I'd better get to know this person, where he lives, how old he is, that's important evidence too.
He looked at me, he looked purely different. I don't know why it seems to me that he is a strange person, his aura, his eyes, he seems different. But how is this man different?
"Almaroon Sujento."
