Ferran and Sanchez’s duty was almost done. They just needed to check two streets. They were about to pass the SL Bank when someone appeared in front of the police car, a bloody man who seemed to be asking for help. Sanchez immediately braked so as not to run over the man. Ferran and Sanchez looked at each other before getting out of the car.“Damn! I almost hit him. Is he out—” He was cut off by Ferran.“Sanchez…” Ferran’s eyes widened when he saw the condition of the man in front of the police car.“Mister, what happened?” Ferran asked, then they noticed that the man was a security guard.“He was shot,” Sanchez muttered under his breath.“T-The bank... Was r-robbed... Holduppers s-still inside...” Said the guard while struggling because of his wound.“Sanchez, take this man to the hospital and also call for some help.”“But what about you---”“I’ll get in.”Sanchez did not want to leave Ferran but the man might die if not taken to the hospital immediately.“Don’t die, man.” He said t
“Nurse Tina, Just... Just remove the bullet. I will be fine.” The two holduppers who were shot also screamed all curses in the world while removing the bullets in their legs. They were treated by Nurse Tina’s assistants and their wounds weren't so deep compared to Ferran whose wound was deep and severe.Some of their co-polices were peeking outside the clinic in the police station. They are watching Nurse Tina removing the bullet from Ferran’s thigh.“F*ck!” The nurse put alcohol into the opening of Ferran’s wound.He grabbed the pillow beside him and covered his face to prevent himself from shouting. It was so damn embarrassing in front of his colleagues to act like that so he tried his best to act cool in that worst scenario.“Ouch!”“Thank goodness! I’m not in his situation.”“It really hurts!”The policemen outside the room murmured as they watched Ferran being treated. They react as if they are the ones who've been treated and feeling the pain from the operation.Nurse Tina too
“Everyone, the ‘Boss’ is about to arrive. Kindly settle yourselves.” The lady wearing black corporate attire announced to the board, the secretary of the ‘Boss.’ The men in formal black corporate coats sit on their swivel chairs while waiting for the ‘Boss.’A man with a 5’10 height, wearing an all-black attire and a black mask covering half of his face entered the meeting room. Everyone in that room felt a strange nervousness when the presence of their so-called ‘Boss’ appeared. They all stood up in respect to the Boss’ arrival but the man just comfortably sat on his chair and didn't bother to greet them.No one knows the real identity of the ‘Boss’ even his name, background, and occupation in society. All they know is that the ‘Boss’ is a very influential individual who handles large businesses inside and outside the country.“Ladies and Gentlemen, you may take your seats.” The lady secretary of the ‘Boss’ formally announced. “The agenda for today is to review the sales and profit o
September 24, 2020Sanchez and Ferran were taking their break from patrolling the area and Ferran couldn’t take his mind off about the letter he received last time.‘Damn it! I should be more careful. I can't just easily move without a plan. Yeah… a plan indeed.’ He sipped his coffee after that thought.“... I don’t want to put their lives in danger. You know…”‘A plan… plan… plan… What plan? Ugh!’ Ferran stared at his hot coffee.“... That’s why I don’t have anyone in my life but myself.” Sanchez said as he was telling his story about Ferran whose focus is not on him.“That’s it!” Ferran snapped his fingers when the idea formed in his mind.“That’s what? It’s okay that I’m leaving alone? Like you? But—”“I have something important to do.”“What?”Ferran wondered a lot of times what he could do to stop the epidemic, maybe his idea will work. It’s not bad to try, right?He stood up, quickly drank the hot coffee and threw the paper cup in the nearby garbage bin.“Where are you going?”
Ferran didn’t waste any second after getting what he needed. He bade his goodbye to Henry and Hailey and watched him until he’s gone. He immediately brought the missing formula in front of the rusty gate where Trestan entered earlier. He hid and waited for almost an hour before he saw Trestan come out and saw the paper bag where he put the piece of paper, the notebook, and the herb named ‘Stellaria media.’ Trestan looked around, and felt anxious about his surroundings but he saw nothing or no one. He came back to the old building and there, Ferran went back to work.“You told me earlier that you’ll be back at nine but what time is it now? It’s eleven o’clock.”“I’m sorry. I lost track of time. I just finished the task that I told you about.”Sanchez didn’t say anything but his eyes seemed to be suspiciously looking at Ferran. ‘Ferran, I don’t know why I felt strange when I’m with you. It was as if it’s not you. You’re not the Ferran I used to.’+++October 08, 2020“Dr. Zyrille De
Working all day is very tiring and Ferran just arrived at his home with Sanchez.After weeks of exhausting days because of Lila Virus, they’re fighting, they were given a day off and Sanchez decided to sleepover at Ferran’s house. After they ate the food Ferran prepared, Sanchez planned to watch a movie while drinking their beer.“Simeon,” “Yes?”“Did you forget this day?”“Huh?”“This is our 3rd year as partners in service.” Sanchez opened the beer in the can and it made a ‘click’ sound. “How could you forget this day?” He stared at the bubbles.Ferran froze for a moment before moving and acting smoothly.“Is it this day? Damn.” He scratched his head. “It’s been years already.” Ferran turned his back on Sanchez.‘Damn it. I almost caught off guard.’“We should celebrate then.”“Y-Yeah.”“You want to watch a movie, right?” His hand shook a little while choosing the compact disc. “This. Let’s watch ‘The World is Not Enough’ by James Bond.” Ferran suggested and showed the CD to Sanchez
When Ferran and Sanchez’s duty hours ended, they immediately went to their houses to change clothes. Ferran was still tying his shoelace when he heard the horn of Sanchez’s car outside.He quickly moved and locked his door then entered Sanchez’s car. “Let’s go,” Sanchez said when they both settled.Within an hour, they reached San Carlos and went straight to the oil company. Sanchez lowered the car window to talk to the guard of the Gomez Oil Company.“Yes, sir? How may I help you?” The guard asked.“We are police officers from San Lorenzo.” Sanchez showed his police I.D. “And we came to talk to your manager.”“Wait for a moment. I’ll just make a call to inform our manager if you’re allowed to have a meeting with him.” The guard entered the guardhouse and called their manager using the telephone. After a little while, the guard opened the large gate for them. Sanchez beeped before finally entering the Oil Company.They looked around and saw ten large tanker trucks parked in a wide fi
[“SL News... An infected child is cured and recovered from Lila Virus. He was the first recorded to have survived despite this disease. Doctors have found the key to the epidemic crisis of San Lorenzo.”] Doctor Maria Garcia grabbed the remote control of her television inside the office and immediately turned off the television due to her irritation. She threw the remote on the wall that made the thing break. “How dare that person make a cure!? I made the virus so I should be the only one who can make a cure!” She quickly took her lab coat and went out of his office. The doctors and scientists were all busy with their work when Dr. Garcia yelled. “Everyone, listen!” They all stopped and felt the anger of their head doctor. “Within five days we will release the cure for this disease.” Whispers made some noise in the huge laboratory. “But doctor, we’re not yet in the mid-way completing the cure. There’s a lot of analyzation---” “Are you disagreeing with what I’m saying, Dr. Smi
