When they heard the door shut softly behind them, after overcoming their initial shock, they turned slowly to see the person at the door.

“Hi everyone!”, the stranger exclaimed in an oddly happy tone but his facial expression was anything but happy. He was a stranger to Jake, Carlos, Philip and even Richard but by all means wasn’t a stranger to the others in the room.

The new comer stood frozen at the door without knowing his next action, his expression awkward because of several pair of eyes eying his movements. Jake and Carlos shared a strange look with Richard and Philip before moving into action.

Carlos stood in front of his sister protectively as Jake, Richard and Philip sized up the muscular new comer. Alexander frowned when he saw how his best friends were suddenly behaving in the presence of his new friend before it occurred to him that they don’t know him and he happens to be a stranger to them. Alexander chuckled loudly and shook his head repeatedly in amazement.

    “Fuck!”, exclaimed Philip in shock. He never knew that innocent looking girl could be capable of such wickedness and terror.“Shit! That’s messed up!”, shouted Carlos as he shuddered.“Damn! So she killed Ken, her lover so gruesomely? That’s wicked!”, Jake cried out. Romeo cleared his throat loudly to get their attention.“Mmm about that, the new evidence gathered shows that the body we retrieved in that freezer wasn’t Ken Li but a homeless beggar that went missing around the same time the alleged body was found.” Romeo voiced out nervously with his face flushed in humiliation. The humiliation he was feeling wasn’t just for himself but his entire police department as well. They allowed themselves to be tricked by that evil man and his young mistress and almost ended up destroying the entire case. Strangely enough, their police commissioner isn’t in a rush to come out immediately and declare that the body found wasn’t Ken Li’s. He wasn’t in a rush to make the public announcement about t

    Romeo closed his eyes tightly and sighed deeply, why he can’t speak of things Evelyn did was because it was too heavy on his lips to say. It was too humiliating for his lips to say out loud. Alexander eyed him and spoke to him sternly, “we are waiting Romeo, tell us now because it will eventually be made public and the shame and humiliation you are avoiding now would surely be made public to the world.” Romeo sighed again and took in a deep breathe, the shameful act of Evelyn was too evil to talk about, “she-she was involved in multiple sexual affairs in the department and some prominent members that’s are now being hidden by the power they hold and…..she was also into human trafficking and selling of body parts in the black market.” Romeo told them shamefully as his face flushed red in humiliation. Taking a look at their shocked and gaped mouth expressions, he wanted the ground to open up swallow him from the surface of the earth. The room became so quiet like a graveyard and even a

    Romeo closed his eyes tightly and cussed out loud,”fuck it! I don’t want a word of any information I will be giving here, I don’t want it to leave this room. I can’t wait to be done with this fuck case because it is causing me a lot of headache and my morals! This is too draining and suffocating because for the first time, I’m now thorn between doing what is right, what is wrong and what feels right and sincerely speaking, I can’t decide which path I want to take.” Alexander turned around to face Alice then at the guys before he spoke on the behalf of all of them present in the room.“You have our word, whatever you say here, stays here with us and not a soul away from this group will hear the wind of it. This is my promise to you.” Alexander muttered to him with a sincere voice and soft nod. Romeo nodded unconsciously with his mind turning against him as he glance at them numbly. He took a deep breathe and just hoped from the button of his heart that he was about to do the right thin

    Alexander sat quietly in the couch and leaned back a bit as he observed both Richard and Romeo, especially their body language and facial expression. He turned quietly to glance at Philip who felt the hot gaze at the side of his face and turned to him. The two stared at each other for sometime before the light bulb light up in Alexander’s mind and recognition became evident to him. He gasped softly and turned to Richard in shock but before he could master the strength and confront him, Romeo cleared his throat loudly to get their attention.“Richard right? I don’t know what I’ve ever done to you since I came inside but I don’t do married women and I most certainly don’t do any woman. They are not exactly my mmm-preference, my name might be Romeo but I’m not like that Romeo in literature. I can proudly say I am my authentic self and I prefer the opposite of things he likes.” He verbalized and checked out Richard who was blushing openly like a school boy.

    “Well, I think I made a mistake by saying he was like my father because my father is better than him in some aspects, he is worse than a monster. Charlotte wasn’t born in the hospital but in the house because Diane is an illegal immigrant and hence she didn’t have her papers and let’s not forget that he hid her throughout her pregnancy so when she had to give birth, it was done in the house with his assistance. Charlotte is not in the system so if he kills and bury her right now, the world won’t know a thing about it nor will they ask questions. He never intended on marrying Diane until the cries of the baby got the attention of the neighbors and murmurs began going around in the community and raising alarm. He had no choice but to get married to her and make her a legalized citizen. So now they both know what he’s capable of and since Charlotte doesn’t technically exist, he can get away with killing her and leaving the only witness to be Diane who he also plans to kill and put an end

    An initial silence went through the room like a hurricane before the storm of their reaction followed. The chorus of their response was all in agreement with what Alexander suggested because she was apparently the best person they can all turn to in this tricky situation. She was also very much involved in the case as much as they were and wants to the truth to be revealed.

    Jake smiled sadly and cleared his throat,”I think his problem wasn’t any of that but the fact that it was a man. He probably got drunk and did it with a man and is now beating himself up because he doesn’t know how to handle such a feeling.” He verbalized as everyone one nodded in understanding to what Jake muttered, only for that moment of understanding to be cut short by a hoarse voice.“I was the sober one but he was drunk!”, the hoarse voice of Richard echoed in the room as they all turned to face the direction of the voice. They were all baffled to see the two friends who fought barely a minute ago in each others arms. Richard was looking at them with red bloodshot eyes and Philip hugged him to himself tightly.Philip frowned deeply and push away from Richard slightly,”You were the sober one and he was the drunk one?

    Diane didn’t want to leave the grave yard, she didn’t want to leave her baby alone there and leave. She felt doing that meant abandoning her in that lonely place, she sat comfortably on the green grass beside Charlotte’s grave and refused to get up from there. The cemetery was empty apart from the four of them, Romeo couldn’t leave Diane either and Alexander and Alice couldn’t afford to leave them alone there. The workers hired had already filled the grave with soil and it wasn’t easy for Diane during that period, she had to be held tightly in a tight embrace by Romeo who wasn’t feeling any better than her but was rather finding strength in his grieving heart.
