William took an old file case on his table, the case was too old and covered with thick dust. He put all the documents out and scattered it so that Angelic could help her find the document they are looking for.
They started to scan every detail written on the dusty papers.
“LITTLE GIRL FOUND TORTURED TO DEATH AT MCLEOD’S MEDICAL INSTITUTE, September 5, 2005.”
William was shocked after reading the headline from the dirty newspaper. Now, he remembered the case he handled 10 years ago. And that was the case that would connect questions in their minds.
He took a strong and tight grip on the newspaper, Angelic asked if he was all right but William excused for a moment and went inside his bedroom. There was a scene flashing on his mind, a scene he never wanted to see again.
Ten years ago, William Smith handled a case about a little girl who was found dead at McLeod’s Medical Institute. The little girl was Marie Anderson, six years of age. She was bathing in blood when his father, Makar Anderson returned in her room after paying the hospital bill he loaned from his friend since he got no money left in his pocket. There was a knife stabbed on Marie's neck. Mr. Anderson checked her daughter’s pulse and found that it was still beating, his child was still alive. He run quickly to call Doctor Ernest Schwann who was talking over the phone with his mistress, the doctor got annoyed and told Makar to wait. But his daughter was dying and there was no time left to save her.
Makar shouted for the second time begging to save his daughter. But the heartless doctor shut his door and told him that it was already his rest time and perhaps he should look for another doctor to check his daughter.
Makar went back to his daughter’s room, that time, a nurse came to rescue the child but she was already unconscious. No pulse rate, no reaction from her nerves, it was also found out that Marie was tortured, there were cracks on her head back and forth, wounds on her flesh and dark glitches on her face.
Makar took the knife and attacked Doctor Schwann with three stabs, the police came and William Smith was one of them. They arrested Makar without giving him a chance to defend his stand. The doctor survived and asked the authority to close the case in order to cover up his negligence as a medical practitioner in exchanged of money.
William tried to continue the investigation for he believed that Makar did it because of his daughter. But Gen. Arnold Thumper, the chief of police, framed him up which led to termination. After leaving his job, he worked in his father’s group of private detectives so that he could still perform his former duty as an investigator.
Although the doctor survived, Makar was sentenced for a lifetime detention in order to secure the safety of the Doctor Schwann. He experienced police brutality while he was inside the jail. One rainy night, when everyone was slept, Makar escaped from his cell and until now, no one could tell where he hid.
It was only a week after his escape, Doctor Schwann was found dead at the same room where Marie died, tortured with one knife stabbed on his neck. Same knife ended the ruthless doctor's life at room 101.
And that was ten years ago. Now, William knew that the crime taken from his past could possibly have big connection with what was happening right now.
Angelic was bothered about William so she followed him at his room and knocked .
"William...? Are you alright, is there something wrong?" Angelic asked him on her worried voice.
William cam out from his room and showed Angelic the newspaper he had just found from his old file case.
"Oh Jesus! This one happened in the same room where Anika Foster died..." Angelic held her breath and sit on the couch so weak.
William gave her a glass of water so she can feel better now. He discussed the case that he handled 10 years ago, he wished to continue the investigation but Gen. Arnold Thumper framed him up that caused his termination from the authority.
"Perhaps, it was the fate that crossed our paths for this. Would you promised to help me solve this case until the end William?"
William raised his right hand as sign of fulfilling his promise. Angelic hugged him tight and he felt something u explainable the moment their body touched one another.
Angelic put out her laptop on the table and they begun to plot all the plans and steps needed for the investigation. They tried to search Makar Anderson in the internet but there was no result, they thought that he was not using any social media site in order to hide his identity.
It was already 6:00 p.m. so Angelic decided to go home since they need to prepare for tomorrow. She prepared all her things and gave William his initial payment as her private detective.
"Angelic, I can't keep that. This case is not just for Doctor Morgan but also for me. My termination as a police became unjust. I wasn't able to defend myself that time. And now, this is the right time to fight for my rights. Please, I really can't accept that."
"But, I hired you as my private detective."
"Yes, but this case is personal to me." William kept the money on Angelic's hand and he accompanied her to the gateway.
"So see you tomorrow?" Angelic asked with her sweet smile.
"See you tomorrow..." William replied and Angelic started the engine of her car.
It was already 8:00 o'clock in the evening when Angelic got home. She opened the door and switched on the light of their living room. She sat on a sofz white couch and gently closed her eyes. That night was really new, the entire house was filled with silence. She missed Doctor Morgan. She missed her dad giving her special sandwich whenever she arrived home in the evening. She missed his laughter that she have not heard since the incident happened.
Angelic took a deep breath and went upstairs. She continued her research about Makar Anderson, but still, no result was found.
She closed her laptop and went inside her bathroom to take a hot shower.
It has been three weeks since Doctor Morgan's detention and everything in his life was altered with just a blink of an eye. He was not used to the dusty wall and rusty grill surrounding him. It was a new world he never expect to enter. He almost lost his normal weight from 55 kilos to 45, he had not eaten well for the past weeks though Angelic never forget to send her healthy foods, he would not eat them, instead he would give it to the other detainees.One rainy night, he was feeling uncomfortable on his bed, there were rats under it making little noise which sounds irritating. He opened the light to check the underneath portion of his bed, the light flickered on and off. He thought that there was something wrong with the electric line so he turned the light off and returned to his bed. He gently closed his eyes and a cold breeze of the wind blown inside his cell, suddenly, the wall clock hung on the wall dropped and made a shocking sound. He opened the light again to
Early in the morning, Angelic came to visit his father. She brought him clean clothes including his medicines for hypertension, Bible and rosary. She reminded his dad to always take his medicines on time and eat proper foods since he was loosing weight. Angelic was in a hurry for she needed to pick William at his house. She was about to leave but Doctor Morgan told her about what happend the other night."Anika Foster visited me and she was begging for help."Angelic was surprised and felt glad that her dad had finally speak. But, she was bothered about what she had just heard."Anika Foster?" she asked."Yes... She was running the whole time around the cell, she was laughing and chucking. But, she cried so loud and asked for help. She mentioned a name, it was ---- it was --- I could still remember it. It was..."Doctor Morgan forgot the name Anika had mentioned the other night, and he was trying so hard to retrieve it in his memory. But he really
Angelic was really bothered about her dad's condition, she thought that he got traumatized with what happened. As much as she wanted to always stay with him, she has to accomplish the case investigation as soon as possible.She drove her car and went to William's house to pick him. It was almost lunch time when she arrived, and she was not eating yet. William took out the plate from his dish cabinet and gave it to Angelic."No, it's okay William. I'm not hungry."But William heard the sound of her starving tummy so they laughed and Angelic sat down beside the dining table to have her lunch."Well, the evidence is concrete Angelic."They laughed again, Angelic tasted the food delicious so she asked for more rice. The buttered chicken was really tender and mouth watery, so Angelic can't get much of it."The food is really good William. Thank you!"William asked Angelic to wait for a moment for he was going to change hi
William and Angelic looked for Mr. Arthur Soleman in the hospital but they found nothing. One from the sanitary staff told them that Mr. Soleman was having his lunch in his house. They went out from the hospital and search for the old man's house.There was a tiny 'nipa' hut fifty steps outside the hospital and they thought that it was the house of Mr. Soleman. They knocked on the wooden door and an a wrinkled man opened it for them."Who are you looking for?" asked the old man."We are looking for Me. Soleman. Do you know him sir?" William answered.The old man asked them to get in, the house was untidy and crowded. There were disposable cups scattered on the floor and dusty rugs on the table. They sit on a wooden chair slowly since it looks old and weak already. The old man begun asking questions."Why are you looking for Arthur Soleman?" he asked."We need his help. There is an important record of a patient, and we need
Angelic and William found no record from the dirty storage room, so they decided to return the key back to Mr. Soleman's house. They were about to leave when the old man called them. "Wait," he said. "Is this the record you are looking for?" William and Angelic wondered why he had kept the record of Marie Anderson. "How did you know that, that was the record we've been looking for?" asked William. The old man invited them inside his house again to discuss things he knew about the record. "I was cleaning room 106 that time when Marie Anderson died. It was the fifth day of September, they were about to leave the hospital since Marie was already fine. However, they were not allowed to go home unless they settle their account. Her father went out to find some money and when he returned after paying the remaining balance he barrowed from his friend, there was a knife stabbed on his daughter's neck. Marie has the ch
Mr. Adamson Foster, a retired Commander General of Brookfield Naval Force slept beside his daughter, Anika Foster, an eight year old girl who was admitted at room 106 due to sudden vomiting and dehydration. The little girl has been suffering from this for more than three days so her parents decided to confine her at McLeod's Medical institute.It was September 5, 2015, Anika was widely awake. The clock hand pointed 3:00 a.m. She went down her bed and looked outside from the window. The surrounding was peaceful, she heard nothing but the rustling leaves from a pine tree outside her room.Suddenly, Anika's tummy started to ache that she can’t bare the pain she was feeling inside her body. Mr. Foster was awaken and saw the horrible scenario happening to her daughter.There were droplets of blood coming out from her nose, so her dad called the doctor and Mr. Sigmund Morgan run quickly to attend for his patient. He injected Tranexamic Acid to stop the bleeding
The next day, Angelic and William went back to the hospital where Anika Foster died. The first thing they did was to review the CCTV footage, but no odd image from the monitor was recorded. William suggested to see the room where the child has been admitted for more than three days.The room remained untidy, there were still blood and fluid on the floor, William took his micro cylinder to get some specimens, including the blood, fluid and some strands of hair scattered on the floor. The room was stinky but they continue finding things that could help them for the investigation.Angelic looked down the bed where Anika slept for three nights. There was a weird ambience she felt, she took up the pillow and saw a candy under it.“William, look at this.”William came over the bed and observed the candy. It was not a typical candy, there were holes inside, perhaps the rat beside ate it. They thought that it was just a newly manufactured candy,
