A Night With My Boss

“Judging from the way you were crying, I thought you were her brother or her lover. What I’m trying to say is that this person is a serial killer that will kill again even after she had gotten her main target which is your wife, she might be the same person that attempted to kill your sister in law so she already has two murder charges on her….. from the sight of this crime scene I can tell such person doesn’t deserve a sweet life in a maximum security state prison….. she deserves death but only a detective with my kind of rank can get away with shooting somebody on sight.”

“So what are you suggesting?.” Alex’s eyes were shining with hope.

“Allow me to be your hand that will pull the trigger on such a monster, let me be the one to put such an evil spirit to sleep, Mr Montero I swear to carry the full responsibility as my duty to the force and my duty to a grieving friend.” Thomas thumped this chest with his fist as a sign of respect, Liam admired the detective’s resolve somehow it made him feel better now as if he can finally breathe knowing Emily would be avenged.

“I will try my best to get her before the police do but if they do I can just kill her in the holding cell claiming she tried to disarm me and escape. ” It was totally foolproof but there’s one more problem.

“What about the cameras?.” Alex asked worriedly, he has been thinking of their possible locations and sometimes he even tried to look for them by himself but to no avail.

“We’ve found two of them already, tomorrow we’ll come back for a thorough search but now it’s getting late. I suggest you sleep at his place tonight while the medics get this place cleaned up.”

“Put the maid in a cell she’s not to be trusted till she is interrogated” Alex said.

“We don’t need you to be telling us our job okay?.” The other detective said sourly.

“No need to worry Mr Montero she will be treated as a suspect in this matter and would be interrogated as one. ”

“Thank you, officer.” Alex grabbed a few of his things like toothbrush and the clothes he would wear tomorrow, he told the detectives a quick goodbye saying he will be stopping at the station tomorrow.

Alex and Liam heaved a deep sigh of sadness, Liam had every reason to be sad and Alex was thinking ‘it could’ve been Petra’ if only Emily hadn’t been there to sacrifice herself.

“I don’t trust the police to ever get here on time when something like this is about to happen, surveillance my ass!!.” Liam said angrily.

“Detective Thomas swore to kill Skyler on sight so let’s put our faith in him at least.”

“And what about the maid?”.

“Oh I have plans for her, I’ll be conducting my own kind of interrogation tomorrow” Alex planned to threaten Clara with her little nephew’s life Ramirez, if she refuses to say the truth he’s going to put a fake gun to Ramirez’s head and torture her mentally until she gives up the information he’s looking for…. all he needs now is for Thomas to give him the go ahead. Liam saw the look in his friend’s eyes and knew he already had things set in motion so he felt a little bit relieved knowing that they will never stop fighting until Skyler is finally run to ground.

**Skyler**

I ran through hedges and people’s backyards until I was out in the open, away from the sirens I’ve been hearing for quite some time now…. the police were quick to react, it’s almost as if they were waiting nearby. I entered a taxi and headed straight back to the hotel. I had my hands tucked in my hoodie pocket the whole time until I had to pay for my ride.

“Is that blood yours ma’am?” The taxi driver asked, squinting at my bloody hand suspiciously.

“Yes, I had a nasty cut on my wrist just earlier” I lied.

“Oh my goodness I’m so sorry, please get it looked at…. take care” He drove off, why can’t taxi drivers ever mind their business?. When finally in the comfort of my room I took my shower and reflected on what happened earlier this evening.

“It should have been Petra!! But Emily had to be there ugghhhhhhh!!” I said to nobody in particular, Petra should’ve been the one dead right now not Emily, casualties of war I guess.

I opened my laptop to check what’s going on and to my surprise three of my cameras were out of commission now there’s only three left, Stupid Clara she was supposed to hide them in least obvious places but her slow brain couldn’t comprehend that. I put my head in my hands trying to figure a way to plan my next attack on Petra then something clicked in my mind.

“I was only successful because Alex wasn’t there when I broke in, so if Alex isn’t there to protect her she’s an easy target” I said to myself, getting Alex down wouldn’t be an easy job but if I can execute my plan properly things would go smoothly. As it stands the best way to do it is to sabotage him at his place of work but all I need now is a helping hand, someone who is going to carry out the task for me cause I can’t risk being seen by Alex around his place of work. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, my heart started pounding really fast thinking they had finally come for me. I heaved a huge sigh of relief when I saw it was only David, the hot chef of the hotel.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you need anything Miss?” He asked in his polite manner when I opened the door.

“Yes as a matter of fact I do, can you come inside for a minute there’s something I need you to do for me….. Of course I know it’s for a price” I said smiling mischievously, talking about a gift falling on your laps… Or sliding in between them.
