Chapter 47 - Chapter 47

(The two goons rush out of the abandoned building just as it explodes and they run into two policemen on patrol)

Goon 1: (nervously) Oh no...

Policeman 1: (confused) What happening here?

Goon 1: (lying) Officers, Our house just exploded...

Policeman 1: Yeah I saw (doubtedly) You're sure this is your house?

Goon 1: Yes officer.

Policeman 2: Hold on a minute, Aren't they the notorious boys that terrorize Almezer street?

Policeman 1: (recognizes them) Yes they are! You've always managed to evade us but you won't escape this time!

(The policemen viciously grabs and handcuffs them)

Policeman 1: I'm sure you both are the ones who blew up the building.

Goon 1: (stammers) Umm...

Policeman 1: (furiously) You better talk while you still can!

Goon 2: (scared) I'll confess, I'll say everything. We were paid by a lady named Miss Cecilia to kidnap a woman named Morena and kill her. So we kidnapped her and kepts her inside the building planted a bomb in it, That's how it exploded.....

Goon 1: (angrily looks at him)

Policeman 1: (to the other policeman) Take him to the station! (To the first goon) Follow me.

(The policeman arrests the second goon and forces him in the van then drives off to the station)

Policeman 1: I wonder if the abductee is still alive... (To the second goon) Let go in

(The policemen and the first goon go into the house and sees a burnt dead body)

Policeman 1: Is this the abductee?

Goon 1: (look at Kragger's body) No. He's our ally, Kragger. He went back in to help the lady we kidnapped. Unfortunately, This happened...

Policeman 1: I'll call the ambulance to take his body to the morgue.

(On their way out, they see Morena lying unconscious near the backdoor of the house)

Policeman 1: Is she the one?

Goon 1: (unapologetic) Yes. That's the lady we kidnapped.

Policeman: (he calls the ambulance)

(Minutes later, The ambulance arrives to take Morena to the hospital and Kragger to the mortuary)

(At the hospital)

Uncle Roberto: Morena, I'm really sorry this happened to you. Those bastards will pay for this.

Morena: I'm just glad I was able to get away from the bomb before it exploded. (looks at her body) And thank God I did not get burnt by the fire.

Uncle Roberto: Yeah. I was on my way back when I heard what happened. I had to rush here.

Morena: Well I'm fine now. I was knocked unconscious by the explosion that's all.

(Just then, Daniel and Nina enter her ward)

Daniel & Nina: (To Uncle Roberto) Good day sir

Uncle Roberto: Good day. Uhhh...Who are you people?

Morena: Uncle, He's my boyfriend, Daniel and she's my best friend, Nina.

(He shakes hands with them)

Uncle Roberto: Okay, Nice to meet you both.

Daniel: Yeah, Same here sir.

Nina: My pleasure sir. (To Morena) We heard what happened and we had to come and see you.

Morena: Thanks guys

Daniel: You're welcome. Besudes, We'd do anything for you.

Morena: (blushes)

Nina: I have a feeling that those goons were sent by someone. I mean, They can't just target and kidnap you randomly....Someone must've sent them.

Daniel: I thought I was the only one thinking the same thing....But who could the person be?

Nina: (thinks) Aha! It's Cecilia. It has to be her!

Uncle Roberto: Who is Cecilia?

Daniel: She's our former colleague in the restaurant we all worked together before. She and Morena were never on good terms.

Uncle Roberto: That explains it...

Nima: I wonder why she'll go to the extent of killing you out of jealousy.

Daniel: Although we can't be too sure, Let's not point fingers yet. The police are conducting their investigations.

Nina: Well I'm glad you're okay now.

Morena: It's all thanks to one of the goons that saved me. He died just so I could live....May his soul rest in peace.

(Meanwhile)

(At Cecilia's house)

Cecilia: (angry) I can't believe Maxwell allowed his wife to disgrace me, I'll deal with him later. (she checks her phone) I wonder why these goons haven't called me yet. Could it be that they haven't done the job? (furiously) Ugh, These guys are fucking morons! They better make sure Morena doesn't live to see the light of another day!

(Just then, Someone knocks on her door)

Cecilia: (enraged) Ugh, I wonder who that idiot is....

(She goes to open it and sees two policemen)

Cecilia: Good evening officers. How may I help you?

Policeman 1: Are you Miss Cecilia Dos Ramos?

Cecilia: Yes I am. What do you want?

Policeman 1: Please we would like you to follow us to the station for questioning concerning the abduction and attempted murder of Miss Morena Castillo.

Cecilia: (rudely) I don't have any business with that. I wasn't involved!

(She attempts to slam the door at them but they quickly wedge the door and enter the house)

Cecilia: (enraged) What the hell! This is infringement and outright invasion of my home!

Policeman: Madam, We can't leave until you follow us to the station.

Cecilia: (boldly) There's no way I'm following you to your damn station.... I'm not going anywhere!

Policeman: Since you're not ready to co-operate. We are authorized to use force. (To the other policemen) Get her!

(The second policeman walks towards her)

Cecilia: Don't you dare touch me!

(The policeman ignore her and forcefully bundles her then carries her out of the house)

Cecilia: (screams) Let me go! I'm innocent! I'm innocent! I'M INNOCENT!!!!!

(The policemen throws her into their van and drives off to the police station)
