Simon didn’t go to the hospital; he had to visit the company, so he went there. Everybody was surprised at his sudden stop, but the employees welcomed him immediately. The local workers knew him as Samuel’s brother. In Samuel’s office, Secretary Ann was astonished to see him. She smiled gently as she walked beside him in Samuel’s office.“Coffee, sir?” asked the secretary.He merely looked at the woman and the table where Samuel was seated.“Yes, please. Thanks,” says Simon.Secretary Anne went outside while he was walking around the room. Samuel’s memories are still there. He got close to the window. He took the curtain off a bit to see the whole city. There’s still a pain in his chest. He approached Samuel’s desk, touching the backrest of the swivel chair as he looked into the room from there. Samuel’s room has a mini lounge, where he welcomes essential company guests when there are few. He sat on the swivel chair and made some movements. He chuckled a bit to speed up the rotation of
Simon came home late. He’s done a lot of work in the business Samuel left behind. He was exhausted. He immediately went directly to the kitchen to get water. When he saw Ella, he immediately came close to her. He laid his hand on his niece’s shoulder and kissed her head, then went straight to the refrigerator and got some water.“I was worried about you earlier; this criminal seems crazy,” said Simon, pouring water into the glass. “And your friend—I don’t know whether she’s as mad as that criminal.”When Simon closed the fridge, he drank water right away. He was surprised as the light went on. From behind, Ella spoke.“Why are you holding on in the dark? There’s a light.” Ella went into the fridge. “Hi, uncle. Why are you late?”Simon frowned and turned toward the left. Luna was there, eyebrows up, looking at him.“Eeew, uncle!” Ella yelledSimon spilled his water on Ella when he saw Luna. “You are here!” Simon was shocked.“Yes, I’ve heard everything you’ve said. You even kissed me on
While the cops are breaking into the warehouse, Simon is out of it. He noticed that Luna never came into the warehouse. He went after the woman.Next to the big warehouse is an alley that people can walk through. He saw Luna go in there, so he went in there, too, and followed her. Coming out of the alley, which is seven meters long, there’s a road; Simon can’t tell if it’s a road because he doesn’t notice any passing vehicles. He saw Luna right behind a parked car. He walked right up to her.Luna pointed the gun at Simon’s head when she sensed someone approaching her. Her eyes expanded just as she recognized Simon. She hid the weapon at once.“What are you doing here?” Luna said this with shock.“I followed you, of course,” replied Simon.Luna immediately grabbed him by the shoulder and forced him into hiding. “What are you doing in this place? Your comrades are in the warehouse.” Simon asked.“Rafaelo is here. I saw him walk into that alley earlier. He likely knew that the police had
“So, you mean you’re immortal as well?” Luna asked in shock. They were on their way home at that moment. Ella was also in her uncle’s car on the way back, so they were three in his car. Ella and Simon tell Luna about Simon’s “immortality.” But as expected, she was a little surprised, although Luna had seen everything that had happened there. “If that’s what they call me, I’m probably immortal,” said Simon. “He can heal quickly, Luna, so no matter what weapon you use on Uncle, he won’t die, even the poison,” said Ella. “What weakness do you have?” asked Luna. Their car stopped because of a traffic signal. Simon looked toward Luna. “If you think this criminal’s weakness might be the same as mine, it’s impossible,” says Simon. “Why impossible? You two are immortal,” said Luna. “Luna, the uncle, has killed himself several times, but as I said, he never dies. No weapon can make him weak. I can assure you,” said Ella. Luna frowned. “How can you say so? What is your weakness, Simon?”
Inside a room, Simon was busy after they ate. Using Simon’s innovative forensic technique, each person’s sequence of amino acids in hair proteins differs. It is called the genetic code”—Rafaelo’s hair information, which Simon can use to obtain his identity without DNA. Simon has already done this himself and can say that this new technique is accurate with the help of at least one strand of hair. Simon heard someone knocking outside the room. “Come in!” cried Simon. Simon was busy looking through the microscope when Luna entered. “What are you doing?” Luna wondered. “It’s you, Luna,” Simon said without looking at her. He is still busy with what he is doing. “I’m going through Rafaelo’s hair.” “Using forensic?” Luna asked Simon lifted his face, and he smiled at Luna. “Yes. I can get Rafaelo’s identity easier when I use modern forensics.” “Can I watch?” Luna asked. “If I don’t bother you.” Simon chuckled. “It’s okay with me, and you’re not bothering me yet.” Luna frowned. Simon l
The following day, because Luna was still on sick leave, Seth attended school, Ella was at work, and Simon and Luna stayed home. Ella asks Simon to accompany Luna to collect her belongings from her former home. “This is everything you use?” asked Simon. Luna nodded. “Is that all your clothes?” Simon said. They stood outside Luna’s apartment, but the girl only rented one bedroom. She didn’t need the whole house because she was only there overnight. “Leave it behind. You can’t use it at home,” said Simon. Simon took that bag and turned it over to the owner. “Wait, this is my stuff,” said Luna. “I’m going to buy you a new one,” Simon said earnestly. “What would you buy me for? You’re wasting money on me. They’re still good,” Luna says. “Haist, don’t be so stubborn,” said Simon, putting his bag in the car’s backseat. “Are you getting married, Luna?” asked the owner out of the blue. Luna looked at her. “Ah, no! I’m going to stay with them,” Luna says. “His niece is a friend of min
“Rafaelo!” Simon and Luna spoke at once. “What is a criminal like you doing here in this overcrowded area?” said Luna. Simon realized Luna was reaching for the car door. “Don’t…” said Simon. Simon did nothing when she got out of the car. He immediately went down and approached Luna. Rafaelo stood seven meters away, smiled, and looked at Simon. Luna saw it, and she immediately pulled the gun to her side. Fortunately, she may have had it. Afterward, she left it in the car when they entered the mall. She pointed that out to Rafaelo. Rafaelo chuckled. “You know that doesn’t affect me, but you’re still doing it. You’re just wearing yourself out, lady!” he said. Rafaelo seems different. He is decent, with a clean haircut, a simple T-shirt, and jeans. If they didn’t know who he was, they’d think he was Seth’s buddy. Simon couldn’t let go of Rafaelo with his eyes. Helena’s beautiful smile flashed back into his mind. “Impossible,” said Simon quietly. “What is it you need?” asked Luna. Ra
“Sarge! How are you?” Ella and Luna’s police colleagues greeted them. Both came to the station simultaneously and sat at their offices earlier. An officer came to Luna. He sat in the empty chair opposite the table. “How come you’re together with Ma’am Anderson?” he asked. “Has she given you her heart yet?” Luna grabbed the pen from the table and pointed it at his face. “Don’t say you’re a cop. I can make you useless!” Luna said it in all seriousness. “Your mouth is coarse!” The man lightly pushed Luna’s hand away from him. “Why? Have I said anything bad? Is she not yet your girlfriend?” He repeated it. “Yes, something is wrong, PO1 Ramirez.” The police officer turned around. And he suddenly got up. “You’re a man, but you’re a talker. What are your thoughts on us lesbians?” Ella asked “I’m sorry, ma’am!” said the guy. “All of you, attention!” Ella growled Everybody was standing before Ella, including Luna. “The thing I don’t want at all is gossip. I don’t want to hear you talk
The guests clink their glasses together to express their desire for further kisses from the newlywed. Simon laughed and put up one hand to encourage the guests to keep clinking the glasses. He wrapped his hand around Luna’s waist and leaned her back as he kissed her. Luna’s arms encircled Simon’s neck as it wrapped them around his. —Flashback— Luna grabbed Simon’s hand right away so that it wouldn’t go all the way under the water. She opened his mouth and gave him air as she tried to swim upward. Later, two divers gave Simon air and helped them swim back up. Luna gasped for air as soon as she pulled her head out of the water. Luna’s fellow police officers pulled Simon away. “Let me..” Luna said, and then her colleagues gave her space. She put her ear next to Simon’s mouth and nose. Without feeling the wind on his face, he looked to see if his chest was moving. She checks Simon’s pulse for 10 seconds. She put the heel of one of her hands on the middle of the breast at the nipple lin
Simon woke up because he could feel his bed moving. He got up and noticed that one of his hands was handcuffed. When he turned around, he saw Seth and Luna standing at the end of the yacht. Their mouths are covered with tape, and their wrists, chests, and feet are tied.“You said you wouldn’t hurt them,” Simon said.Rafael smiled. “I lied.”“You are crazy!” Simon retorted.Rafael did not answer. He just laughed as if Simon was just joking. When Simon looked at his arm, he saw he was drawing blood again. He tried to take it off, but he handcuffed one of his hands to the pole and the other was numb. Rafael had taken blood from one of his arms, and now he couldn’t move that arm. He didn’t know how much blood he had taken, but he already felt weak and lightheaded.“Stop fighting, Simon. If you can get out of there, I will throw those two into the sea.” Rafael said as he sat down in front of Simon. “Think about how they could swim if they were tied together.”Simon was breathing hard, and
Rafael tied Luna’s hands and feet together and taped her mouth shut as he did with Seth. Luna was struggling to get away when Rafael picked her up. He lifted her onto his shoulder and carried her to the garage. He set Luna down. Later, Luna’s eyes grew wide when she saw Rafael holding a syringe. He immediately injected it into her arm. At first, she was still struggling, but she couldn’t keep her eyes from closing.“Don’t worry, you only slept for about half a day or so,” Rafael said, laughing. “As long as you don’t get in the way of my plans. I don’t want you with me anymore...” Rafael carried Luna to the car’s compartment. “But I thought I could use you just in case, you know, your boyfriend didn’t agree.”Rafael closed the trunk of the car with a smile. He went back into the house and walked up to Seth with a smile. He started by looking at Seth.“For an 18-year-old, you have a muscular body. Do you go to the gym?” Rafael asked.Rafael pulled Seth’s arm up and forced it up. “Just j
Ella noticed that someone was being followed by a motorcycle after she had already gotten on the highway. She glanced in the side mirror and just let the motorcycle follow her. She was almost to the village where she lived when a motorbike blocked her way, forcing her to step on the brakes. When she saw the man leave his motorbike, she immediately ready her gun and waited for him to come toward her. When the man got close to the driver’s seat window, it knocked. Ella quickly opened the door, which the man didn’t expect, so when the door hit the rider’s body, he fell a short distance away. Before he got up, Ella got out of the car and immediately pointed the gun at the man. The man immediately lifted one hand and used the other to open the front of the helmet.“This is Sanchez, ma’am...”Ella didn’t immediately believe that’s why the man took off his helmet. When Ella saw who it was, she just put the gun back on her hip.“What are you doing, Sanchez?” Ella asked. “I said I’m fine. You
Simon is at home to rest. The private doctor who looked after Simon gave him back the blood that had been taken from him. Since they left Nueva Ecija, he hasn’t woken up. The doctor said it was only normal. Simon’s body had lost too much blood.Simon was sleeping, and Luna was sitting next to the bed and watching him. Seth brought Luna food. Seth put it on the table next to the couch, and Luna went over to it right away.“Ella has already left,” said Seth. “Why doesn’t uncle wake up?”Luna gave a headshake. “Rafael looks like he drained his blood. That person is horrible.” Luna took a bite of the burger.“Because it’s easier if he takes Uncle’s blood and puts it in him before he kills him.”“Yes, that’s right. That’s what he wants to do.” Luna said. “Thank goodness we found him right away. If not, what your uncle has been hoping for since then would have happened.”Seth chuckled. “As if you are going to let that happen.”“Of course not, no,” Luna said, and then took a bite of the burg
Seth keeps looking in the library for Simon’s diary. He looked in every cabinet and on every shelf for it. Ella and Luna are at the hospital waiting for an update.“Why did it take Zev so long to find it?” Ella asked.“Don’t you know where Simon might have hidden it?” asked Luna. “Or he might have said it before and you just don’t remember.”“When Uncle was telling stories, he never said the name. Even the years, you still have to confirm with him.”Luna said nothing—she just took a deep breath. He couldn’t imagine what Rafael could do to Simon. So far, they have heard nothing, but she’s sure Simon is still alive.———-When Simon woke up, it was dark outside. He was so dizzy that he didn’t know how much blood Rafael had taken from him. And he still doesn’t take away the devices used. He felt cold. A sudden drop in blood pressure can also bring on chills. His heart needs some time to pump fresh blood through his body. That’s why it makes him feel weak, dizzy, shiver, and sweat. He als
Simon woke up on a bed, unable to move. Rafael tied his hands and legs to the corners of the bed. He was in a room that wasn’t furnished, but the bed was comfortable.“Why did you tie me here? I told you I wouldn’t run away, didn’t I?”“Yeah, I heard,” Rafael said. “But I don’t trust you. Also, you need to get some rest.”“Why? What’re you going to do?”Rafael smiled. “What kind of food do you want to eat? Just tell me what it is, and I’ll buy it. I’ll spoil you while you’re here with me.”Simon saw Rafael was dressed as if he was going to leave. “Where’re you going?”“Am I supposed to say where I am going to, uncle?” Simon said, chuckling.“If you are going to leave, let me go. Even if you just tie my legs. What if I need to go to the bathroom?”“Hold on, I’m just fast. I won’t last long. Also, if I do that, you will wear yourself out. That’s not possible, because I told you, you need to rest today. Behave, I’ll be gone in a moment...”Rafael got up and left the room quickly. Simon s
“Rafael...”The man was not too far away from them with a revolver in his hand and was aiming it at Luna. The man was staring at Luna. When Luna was about to approach Simon, Rafael shot again, and this time it was between her and Simon. Luna stepped back.“You..” Rafael said to Simon. “Come here if you don’t want me to shoot that policewoman again.”“Simon, no!”Rafael shot again and hit Luna on the other leg, causing her to fall to her knees. Simon’s eyes got wider.“What? Are you approaching or do you want the next bullet to hit the girl’s head?“No, don’t shoot Luna, please.”Luna was sweating cold, her hand was numb, and now her leg was too. He leaned against the car’s front.“What are you... what are you doing, Simon?” asked Luna.“I am waiting, Simon Gonzales...”“I’ll go with you, but don’t hurt her anymore...” Simon tried to stand.“No, no Simon!”“Do not worry about me. Call Ella and have her come pick her up so she can go with you to the hospital...”“No Simon. Don’t follow
“Alright, I’ll call you later.”Ella is working in her office. She is now awaiting an update from her troops who are out in the field and who are keeping surveillance surrounding the building and within it. Rafael hasn’t shown up yet, and nothing out of the ordinary has happened.“There is no sign of the killer in the area, ma’am,” a police officer said from her desk.She nodded and let the person out. Ella set the two elbows down on the table, brought both of her hands together, and rested them on her forehead. When the killer doesn’t show up after a week, they have to stop the operation and leave Simon with Luna.When the phone rang, she immediately turned to answer it. Luna calls her. Before she picked up the phone, she took a deep breath.“Luna, something has happened?” Ella asked.“Yeah..”“Is Rafael there?” Ella asked, surprised.“No!” Luna suddenly answered on the other line.“What do you mean then?”“We are now at the mall and the jewelry shop.”“Where? The mall?” Ella looked
