Marvin Sullivan stands in front of a newly placed gravestone. His eyes are swollen and blood-red. It's been four days, and he still can't put himself back together.
A father is the provider of a family. He is the protector of the family. Being a law enforcer gives more emphasis on being a father more than anything else. A father protects, teaches, and nurtures his children. He teaches them to be strong, responsible, and decent. And he keeps his children away from any harm.
Marvin feels like there's a butcher knife stuck in his heart. Since that day, he hasn't stopped crying. His left hand is swollen, and he has broken knucklebones after punching a wall numerous times.
"Marvin, come on. You've been here since last. Your family needs you, man."
"How can I even my family? My wife couldn't even look at me. And she has all the right to be angry. It's my fault that my daughter is dead. If I just listened to my wife and found another job, my daughter would still
The dead body of Dylan Waltz was found inside his room by the house cleaning crew. There was no sign of foul play, no forced entry, and no witness. The estimated time of death was around the early morning of that same day. The cause of death was ruled as a heart attack.Amara was questioned about her time with Dylan. But because she arrived home three days before Dylan died, she was easily crossed out on the list of suspects. Besides, Amara was a known escort girl even by the law enforcers. They know her style and know that she doesn't stay with a customer for more than three days.The police also interviewed Dylan's doctor and found out that Dylan does have a heart condition. Of course, Amara knew this. That is the reason why it was easy for her to find the perfect poison. She returned to the resthouse a few times to ensure that he would not starve or be dehydrated. Amara ensured that police won't find any signs of foul play.The whole city of Haverville is in
Det. Marvin Sullivan went home when the sun goes up. He just meant to change clothes, but his wife was already awake when he arrived. Since Sheila died, they never had the chance to talk. Or maybe it's right to say that she's avoiding him. She couldn't even look at him."Hey, I just went home to take a bath and change clothes. Captain wants progress on the Simmons and Muller's death.""Okay."Marvin bowed his head when his wife didn't even turn around when she answered him. She was cooking their daughter's breakfast when he arrived. Sullivan's heart is breaking into pieces every time he's with his family."Why won't you even look at me?""Nothing. Go ahead and take a bath." His wife said before walking away from him."I didn't want any of this to happen. I love her so much. You don't have any idea how losing her breaks my heart.""You love her? I asked you, no, I begged you to resign. To find a new job. But you took her away from me!
Det. Sullivan hasn't slept in two days. He's been working nonstop to catch the serial killer. But still, he got nothing. All they have are witnesses who didn't see the face of the last person the victim was with before he died and the perfume. It was manufactured by only one company.Everybody kept telling him that he needs to take a rest. But Marvin can't because if he rests, all he would do is think about his daughter. Sullivan can't stop working because he could lose his mind."Whoah! Easy there, buddy." Marvin almost fell first on the floor if Fred didn't catch him first."I'm fine, Fred. I'm okay." Marvin tried to stand straight."You're not okay, Det. Sullivan. You haven't slept at all." Nolan, the other police officer, said as he passed them by."He's right, you know. Marvin, you need to sleep.""I can't sleep! That serial killer is still out there! My daughter died because of that serial killer! I cannot sleep!"Everybody stop
Carlos Aguilar, a man known for his prostitution business. A lot of men in Haverville go to him if they want temporary pleasure. No one in Haverville respects him, but many fear him because he's always surrounded by armed men.Many people see him as a parasite, especially women. They see him as a home-wrecker. A man born to destroy lives and families. It's partially true, though, so many families in Haverville have been destroyed because of his brothel.Yet, the city government can't do anything about him. Because he's the cousin of the mayor. In Haverville, he's practically untouchable. No matter how many times people petition for his brothel to be closed, their pleas were ignored."Carlos! Happy birthday!"It's his 58th birthday, and the celebration was meant to be big. By ten in the evening, the open field that used to be the mansion's garden is already full of people. His visitors came from different cities. Most of them are his customers."Tha
Det. Marvin Sullivan kept on working the murder cases of Salazar Simmons and Rodney Muller. He kept coming back to the crime scene, hoping to see something they missed the first few times. But no matter how hard he tried to look, he still came up with nothing. No clue about who the killer is.Marvin is following Bartholomew Carter's video blogs. He kept wondering how Barth is getting that information. Sometimes, he even has details that the police don't have. Like the names of those supposed victims of Simmons and Muller. He kept wondering how he got those names."Marvin, we've been here four times. The hotel management is already complaining. They need to clean this room." Fred tapped Sullivan's shoulder."But we have to make sure that we didn't miss anything. We can't be too complacent." Marvin responded."Complacent? We already combed this room and the other crime scene four times over. How can it still be called complacent?""Just back me up on
Carlos' brothel kept operating even with his absence. His men thought that he's still inside his office enjoying. It's just been a day since he locked himself up inside. No one saw the girl leave, so they assumed that she's still inside.Their customers are all satisfied. They keep coming at no particular time of the day. Some would come in the morning, afternoon, in the evening, and even at midnight. That is why his men didn't even think about disturbing him. Plus, no trouble has arisen."No! Let me go! Get off me!"Carlos' men were disturbed when one of the girls started screaming. She was the newest and the last one to arrive. Also, the youngest among the girls. The girl was only twelve years old. Her birthday is next year.
Bartholomew Carter just finished his latest video blog when he and Neilsen heard a knock on the door. Barth signaled Neil to open the door while he finishes putting everything they used in the corner. When Carter looked around, he saw the woman he talked to at the convention. Sandra Galagher."Sandra, it's so nice to see you again. Come in, have a seat." Bartholomew pointed to the chair in front of his desk."Thank you, Mr. Carter," Sandra responded with a timid smile."Please, call me Barth.""Barth, I'll just stay outside. Call me if you need anything." Neilsen announced."Wait, set up the camera, Neil.""Yup, alright.""We can start now. I also need to see my sister after this." Sandra said all of a sudden."Sure. Neil hit record, please.""You got it. Recording.""Thank you, Neil." Carter smiled at his cameraman and turn to Sandra. "How are you. Sandra?""I've been better. I just wanted to get it all ou
It's been four days since Carlos locked himself inside with the girl that Enzo gave him. His men never disturbed him because they knew he would be angry. And an angry Carlos Aguilar is something they never want to see again. They all thought that he's still having his fun with the girl.Everything was quiet and going smoothly when a customer screamed out of nowhere. He came out from one of the rooms with his head bleeding. He screamed and called out Carlos' right-hand man. Everyone became alerted."That b*tch hurt me! She smacked me with a lampshade! Goddamnit!""Get that dumb b*tch out here!" Arnold commanded.Four of their men ran towards the room and dragged the seventeen-year-old girl out of her room. She was kicking and screaming, but her efforts were useless. Once they arrived at the lounge, the four men just threw her on the floor."I want to speak to Carlos! This shouldn't have happened to me!" The customer demanded."Carlos is busy
Arman and Kyle went to the park to play. It's Sunday, and they both agreed to spend every weekends outdoors. This is Arman's way of helping his best friend to forget all the bad things that happened to him. He wants Kyle to be happy, so he will choose to stay with them.It is a sunny day–perfect to outdoors, but because Arman is too matured to play kid's game, he would just sit on the grass and watch Kyle. Sometimes, he would ask himself why he chose to be friends with a childish kid like him. But, every time he looks at Kyle, he would just smile and realize that there's no one he would rather be friends with."Kyle..." Arman's watching his best friend play at the monkey bar when they heard a familiar voice."What are you doing here?" The young boy couldn't help himself from feeling angry towards the man standing near the monkey bar."I just–I just want to talk to my son." Mr. Monroe said in a sad tone. There are dark circles around his eyes, and he alrea
A few days after Darson left, his family is still uncomfortable with the knowledge that his obsession with Amara Keener hasn't stop. Yes, they adore the fact that she saved a little boy from being abused by his stepmother, but it won't change the fact that she's an escort girl. They see her as the kind of woman who will kiss any man's feet in exchange for money. Something that they despised so much.But just like before, they can't do anything about it because Darson always had his own mind. None of them can convince him, especially when it comes to Amara. They also can't change the fact he already love Amara's adopted child like his own."I don't know how long I could let this go on. Our son is a single, responsible man who can make any woman fall for him. Why is he wasting his time with Amara Keener." Mr. Humphrey said."You know your son. He will never change his mind. He's been in love with Amara Keener since he was in high school. Years has passed, and his
Leaving is something that Darson doesn't want to do ever again, but even him knows that he needs to work. If he wants to help Amara provide a good future for Arman, he needs to be hardworking. Especially now that Kyle is also with them.He felt happy that Arama, Kyle, and Arman accompanied him to the port. Even though his family is obviously not happy about it, they agreed not to say anything. Darson knows that it will not be easy for his family to accept Amara again, but he knows that in time they will see how great of a person she is."You take care of yourself, son. Alright?" His father remained him."We will miss you." Said his mother."Be good, okay?" His sisters added."Thank you, guys. I'll see you soon." Darson said to his family. "Hey, kids. Be good to Amara, alright?""We will miss you." Arman and Kyle replied."Just come back safe, okay?" Amara said with a smile."Of course. I made a promise, remember? Take car
"Kyle! Wake up! Come on, it's breakfast time!""Go away! I'm still sleepy!""Get out of bed or I will drag your ass down the stairs?""Fine! I'll just brush my teeth. You can get out now.""Not happening. Go to your bathroom and brush your teeth, I'll wait for you here."I smiled as I listened to those two boys. They really are like brothers, and my heart breaks for Kyle. He's a nice kid, and he doesn't deserve to be mistreated. Now that his dad and stepmother are both facing possible jail time, he's got nowhere to go. Both his parents are only child, and his grandparents are all dead. We are the only ones who can take care of him.I woke up early to prepare our breakfast, and as expected, Darson arrived a few minutes after I'm done. He brought fruits, a gallon of ice cream, and new toys for Kyle. He even brought a new computer for him. I can already see that he will be a great father when the time comes. It's just sad to think that I might
The very next day, Amara called Kyle's father to let him know that his son ran away and called them for help. He demanded for Amara to bring his son back immediately, and even threatened to sue her for kidnapping. But, Amara, being the brave woman she is who never blinks in the face of threats, refused.She told Mr. Monroe to come to their town, and meet her at the sheriff's station. She already called the child protection office, and their representative is already on his way. When Mr. Monroe sensed that Amara will not budge, he agreed to travel back to town. She also demanded for him to bring his new wife."What's your plan?" Darson asked her. They are already at the sheriff's station with Kyle, and one of the female officers is already getting his statement."I'll make sure that Kyle's b*tch stepmother will rot n jail for what she did to him." She responded. Amara can feel her body trembling in so much anger."I can't imagine how a woman would do somet
Earlier this morning, the news said 'Matriarch Of A Crime Family Died Of Heart Failure'. Amara woke up to that news, and the first thing that came to her mind was that she escaped justice. She wanted Mrs. Higgins to suffer in jail. That's what she deserves after everything she done, just like the rest of her family.The only comfort that she has is the knowledge that the rest of her family is rotting in prison. Now that the issue with the Higgins has finally reached its conclusion, Amara can focus of what lies ahead. More specifically about what she has to do with Henry Cambert."Amara, that reporter is outside." Arman announced. She's at her room planning on what to wear for tonight.Henry Cambert invited her on a date tonight, and she's planning on making everything work on her favor. Bartholomew Carter is becoming of a nuisance than help. He's chasing the fame that came with the intense reports he did because of her. Now that she's no longer giving him any in
