Carlos was on his way home when he got a call from Mateo after getting off one from Hellene.
"Hi,captain"
"What's up,Mateo. How are you?"
"I'm not fine. Remember Mr Rodriguez's case?"
"Of course. I do. Any thing up?"
"We found the culprit"
"Oh,well, that's great news?..."
"Nah..man. We couldn't get her"
"Wait.. it's a her??"
"Yes. I will send you her picture now. I'm sorry I have to bother you even on your holiday. I.. just if you catch a glimpse of her, please do well as to hold her down and call me."
"At all, Mateo. It's fine. We are in this together, remember?"
"Thanks bro"
"You welcome"
"I.. I'll hang up now. Bye,take care"
"You too"
The line was disconnected.
Carlos sighed and removed his ear bud and drop it on the dashboard.
He drove to his house and when he got there, something struck him.
He remembered leaving all his doors opened when in a hurry.
God,he should be more careful next time.
He drop from his car to open the gate so he can drive in and that was when he realised the door has been locked from the inside.
Huh?
How come it is locked from the inside?
He then knew something is definitely wrong
He went back to his car. Thank God he has a spare key. He walked back to the gate and used it to open it.
He gently pushed the door in and step in.
Someone is definitely in his house else why would the door be lock from the inside?
So as to take the person off guard,he decides he wouldn't drive in his car just yet.
He searched around his environment and saw nothing and so he moved stealthily to the entrance door and gently set it opened then brought out his torchlight from his pocket.
He quietly closed the door behind him and his eyes moved to the figure on the sofa.
The hell?
How....
He scoffed and puts on the torch and beamed it on her face.
A girl?
Dora's eyes immediately went opened.
They widened at the sight of the light and Dora felt her heart jumped out of her chest that moment.
Oh,no!.
They..they found her out?
Oh, she's so dead. Why did she even slept off in the first place? She shouldn't have!
"The hell,you doing in my house?"a deep voice sounded. Sweet, yet,so cold.
Dora's mouth went agape and she sat still,not knowing what to do.
What can she do now?
"I said,the hell you doing in my house you filthy stranger. You touched my stuffs. I don't joke with that. How did you get in?"now,so cold, enough to make a hot coffee go chilled.
"I...I..I.."her breaths was unsteady as she tried to find something to say.
What has she gotten herself into?
Her end has come,no doubts.
A hand grab her hair and raised her up from the sofa. Her lips shook in fear as she was pinned against the wall by a strong hand,her legs hanging up in the air,inches away from the floor.
"Who sent you?"was his next words.
Her brows furrowed up in perplexity and she shook her head.
"Pl..e.. ease...I..."she couldn't get a word straight since she feels choked with the hand wrapped around her neck. She placed her palm on it, tapping it, giving him a sorry eyes,but he doesn't seems like one who cares!.
With the light fully glared on her face,he asked gruffly.
"You're a spy, aren't you?."
Dora swallowed a thick saliva and grunted.
She can't even see the face of him!
"If you do not speak,I shall dug a bullet in your adorable eyes"he threatened.
"Err...n..no...I..I..I.."
"You're a mad spy,"he smirks.
"And,so gutsy of you to sleep in a crime scene"
"Please... I'm..... choking!"Dora breathed out.
He stared intently at her before releasing his arm which was around her throat, making her to glide to the floor, carelessly.
She coughed vigorously while beating her chest.
Just when she taught it was the end,a black tape came around her mouth and she was tied to a chair.
Her eyes heated up and there was drop of tears later on.
He went to switch on the light and only then she believes there are angels in human forms.
He strides back to where she was and she marveled at his perfection.
He drop on a crouch in front of her and she got mesmerized by his beauty.
Her eyes shamelessly diverted to his small cherry lips and her intestines literally screams *oh,kiss me!,kiss me!. Get that heaven on my mouth!*
Her eyes shifted focus to his eyeballs. So black but romantic.
Then,his nose. Oh, that small thing!
She desire to touch it,feel it!.
She stared back at his mouth with desire.
She want him!. He is so good.
She snapped back to reality when her hair was yanked and she winced out in pains.
*Oh baby, tease me,love me but don't pain me*she said inwardly.
A soft palm landed on her cheek in a hard slap.
Her eyes cleared up and she was back to the reality fully,to the pains.
His eyes has turned red and they screamed danger.
Dora heart skips. He looks so scary.
"I will ask for the last time,who sent you?"
How did he expects her to respond when he already placed an embargo on her lips.
"Please..no...no..one..i.."her plea turned to muffled cry.
"Are you ready to talk?"he demanded and she nodded quickly.
He removed the tape from her mouth and she breathed out and in.
"Help me, please."she said.
His face contorted into a frown and he puts the tape back on her mouth.
"Well,"he sighed.
"I will have to handle you over to the police and when you get to the station,you will realize just how nice I've been"he stood up and went out.
*
"Hm. What if I give you six?"her big eyes rolled up at him.
"Si--si--sixbillion dollars?"the guy stuttered in shock.
She laughs maniacally.
"Of course. Be a good dog and you shall always get to eat the food that drops from my table"she stood up while rubbing her fingers against each other.
"I...I will forever be your faithful dog"he bowed in such that his forehead touched the ground.
"Good. Now,time to go bark"she clicked her tongue and smirks.
*Earlier in the commissioner's office*
The landline rang and the commissioner's brows perked you from the glass he wore before picking up the receiver.
"Hello"he said.
"How long does it take you to catch the culprit?"the person at the other end demanded in anger.
"Ermm..may I at least know who this is?"
"This is Longworth. If I'd realized this is how you will drag the case,I would have entrusted it someone else."
"Mr Longworth,we are on it. Mr Rodriguez was my very good friend also so why would I drag the case unnecessarily?"
"My friend was k*lled and you expect me to have good time when the culprit is somewhere away from the bars of the prison?.
I also heard his hand was cut off today!. You aren't doing your job right!"
"I assure you she will be put behind the bars very soon. Please, calm down"
The other end went silent.
The commissioner removed the receiver from his phone to look at the screen and realized the line has been disconnected.
He scoffs and returned the receiver.

Carlos went out to his car and grab his phone to put a call across to Mateo to send some boys to his house to come arrest the intruder.
As he unlocks his phone,he saw he already sent him a message. Prolly the picture of the culprit.
He decided to check it out before calling him.
He tapped on the message and the image of a girl pops up.
He looked closely at the image.
Why does she look so much like the trespasser?
He scoffs.
This can't be...
The girl in there in his house is the one he is looking at on his screen!
What the hell?!!!
Without thinking much,he bulged towards the gate and soon,he was in the room.
Dora raised up his head when she heard the sound of the door opening.
"You're the one who murdered Mr Rodriguez?. You requested his hand be cut off and deliver to you this afternoon. What did you come to do in my house?. Don't tell me you are here to kill me also?"He bombarded her with question.
She shook her head in disapproval.
"Woah. And here I was, thinking you are just a spy not knowing you actually a serial killer"he said in disbelief.
"I am not!"she tried to protest.
His gaze darkened and his lips twitched in anger.
"I shall report you!"he stomped his feet on the floor.
He started dialing Mateo's number.
No!
Dora sobbed.
She tried freeing herself but it was to no avail.
Oh,she cannot afford to go to the prison!
No!
"Stay put or i will cut one of your ears off and believe me,no one will prosecute me for that"
