2024-10-29 19:42:56MHOREIN's POV
I made pancakes and sausages. Once it was finished I prepared a plate, spoon and a fork. I sat and was ready to eat when someone knocked.
"Mhor!"
"Detective!" I frowned when I heard Chain and Aiden's voices.
I stood up and opened the door.
"Good morning, Honey." Chain smiled.
"Do you not want me to eat?" I sarcastically asked.
"Just eat, We'll join you." Aiden said, Smiling. Chain and Aiden helped themselves in.
"Wow." I said as I followed them. When I arrived at the kitchen they were already sitting down, Both having plates in front of them
"What are you doing here? I thought you'd call me?" I asked.
"We went to the asylum." Chain answered.
"I think a nurse likes me." Said Aiden and munched on a pancake.
"Why didn't you tell me? Plus it's 9:15 A.M." I said, Ignoring Aiden's past comment.
"We didn't interrogate anyone. We just asked who the possible suspects are. So you don't have to go through the trouble." Chain explained.
"Just eat, We'll go back to the asylum later." I said.
"Continue eating, I'm going to get dressed." I said and left them in the kitchen.
I entered the room and searched for clean pants. I sighed in frustration when I realized that I didn't have one that's clean. I looked in the drawer. I searched for leggings but failed to find any either.
"I should probably do my laundry." I said to myself.
"Ugh." I changed clothes and went out.
"Hey, you're wearing shorts?" Chain asked, One eyebrow raised.
"I don't have clean pants."
"What did you wear last night?"
"I said it's dirty." Chain rolled his eyes. I looked at the sink and kitchen table. It was already cleaned.
"Let's go." I said and took the car keys.
We entered the elevator and as it was about to close-
"Wait! Wait up!" Katherine cried. We pressed the buttons and opened the elevator.
"Thanks Mhor- Who are they?" Kath asked and looked at my two companions.
"Aiden Jake Ignacio, Miss." Aiden smiled.
"Chain Yuan Castranuevo." Chain introduced himself.
"Oh, You're Mhor's boyfriend." Chain nodded.
"What's your floor?" I asked.
"Parking lot." She replied.
"Oh, you're going somewhere?" I smiled
"Probably, Mhor." She said sarcastically.
"As I said..." I whispered.
"You have a case?"
"Probably, Kath." She laughed.
"We're here." Chain said and walked out. I followed him along with Aiden. We searched for our cars and got out of the parking lot. Aiden doesn't have a car so he had to go with Chain.
I called Chain. I put the phone in the loud speaker and put it down.
"Chain?"
"Yes?"
"Suspects?" I asked
"Uhm. Aiden, Who are they?"
"Peri Dona, Rose Quin, Steve Unison and Garry Netton." I heard Aiden say on the other line.
"We're here." I said and parked the car. I dropped the call and exited the car.
As soon as we entered the asylum, I felt the aura of the place. Typical creepy asylum that you'd see in horror movies.
"Detectives? Welcome back. You bought company. Im doctor Jay Gordon." We were greeted by a tall man with dark gray hair and a scuff.
"Actually, She's the detective." Chain explained.
"Detective Mhorein Layla Agustin." I introduced myself.
He led us to his office and offered us a seat.
"Thank you, I want to talk to the suspects about the case of-"
"Amy Marcus ... Yes we know. Wait for me here. I'll call them." He said and left us in the room.
Within a few minutes he returned with a nurses and two patients. One is smiling and one looks really, really bad.
"Peri Dona." Said one nurse.
"This is Steve Unison." Doctor Jay introduced the patient smiling.
"This is-" Someone cut him off.
"You don't need to introduce me ... Doctor. Im Garry Netton." I looked at him well. He's wearing a blue long gown while his upper body is wrapped around a tight white cloth, same as Steve Unison. Both of them were accompanied by two other asylum staffs.
"Where's the other one?" As if on cue someone knocked on the door.
"Sir, I'm sorry, One of the patients refused to eat." Said the nurse who just came in said.
"Rose Quin." She smiled.
"Detective Mhorein." I nodded.
"Is this about Amy?" Rose asked. I nodded.
"Based on my companion's questions, The four of you are the main suspects." Jay looked at me.
"Even Rose?" Peri asked.
"Why? What about Rose?" Chain asked.
"Amy's best friend, and I mean look at her. She looks so sweet." Peri snickered.
"Let's start with Garry. Why are you a suspect?"
"Amy's my ex." Our eyebrows met. Is it even legal for a patient and a medical profesional to date? Is this some kind of Joker and Harley Quinn phenomena?
"I know what you're thinking ... I cheated on her so she made it look like I was crazy." He laughed, maniacly.
"Garry ... We talked about this. The results of your heroin addiction came out positive." Jay said.
"IM NOT CRAZY!" He didn't faze the doctor but Aiden and the other staff around him was afraid.
"She should have died in my arms! Not in any of yours!" Garry shouted when the nurses picked him up. But Amy didnt die...
"Ok, Steve?" I looked at the other patient.
"No." He giggled. Aiden looked at me, confused.
"What?" My eyebrows formed a knot.
"Hm?" He laughed.
"Amy was such a bully! Good for her!" I cringed.
"Shut up!" Rose shouted. She was about to cry. My left eyebrow rose.
"Peri?"
"Well, Maybe because I courted Amy, She rejected me." That's a straight forward answer.
"Outside of the asylum, Is there anybody else?" I asked.
"None." Chain replied.
"Rose, Do you know something Amy keeps to herself?"
"I know she had a diary, But I don't know where she hides it." Rose looked up trying to stop the tears. They really do think she's dead.
"Is it okay if we get a tour of the asylum?"
"Be our guest. Lemuel." Jay said through the intercom. A nurse entered the room and approached us.
"Where does Amy mostly stay?" I asked Lemuel.
"In the child's ward." He coldly answered.
"Then we shall go there." I said.
