Black Dahlia

OUT OF TOUCH (END)

That was the last day for John. Last-day

for him to decide the end of the matter. And it might as well be

last day for one of them to breathe free air outside

prison house. Today will be Andrew Edden's interrogation schedule. His one-one

the man who had not been interrogated by John. John didn't sleep all night

these. He really prepared his mind and conscience maturely.

Once again John saw his investigation board. He has waited until today to

get evidence that can free Fernando from all charges

people. But Fernando couldn't get any evidence. He was attacked

by a group of people rooted in Clara Mara. John is not blind. She can

seeing clearly that Fernando was innocent, in the context of the murder

Marcellas. But no one can support his opinion. Plus another fact

that Fernando raped Marcella. It will be difficult for Fernando to

loose.

Andrew's interrogation will be conducted at dawn

these. John chose this time because today is also the time he took

got to determine who the real killer is. There's no time left.

John immediately took his car keys and went to the police station.

Andrew should have been in the interrogation room waiting for him.

John hurried into the interrogation room.

As expected, Andrew was there. John took off his jacket, though,

I sat in front of Andrew. Andrew looked calm. He could even be said

a little bored waiting for John to arrive. John directly

take out some paper from inside his bag. Take a quick look at it,

then put it on the table. He began this final interrogation session.

“Andrew Edden, tell me, who do you think the killer is?”

ask John directly.

Andrew was surprised by John's question.

“Wait, you mean sir?” ask him politely.

“We do not need to follow the procedure okay? Look, case

this is the worst case I've ever held. There's no evidence. This murder

there is absolutely no evidence that points to you all. God help

i'm Andrew. I don't want to put an innocent child in murder

in prison.” John took his breath. Sweat dropped from his forehead on

when he spoke. He immediately elbowed her with his arm. “I've already

watching you all. I'm not sure what my observations are. You

different Andrew. So, who do you think the killer is? Whatever the answer

you will not be able to change the events that have already happened.”

Andrew rebelled to say that it was not

Fernando's the killer. But he didn't know how to act. Andrew

clenching his hands strong. He looked at John in both eyes. “If you can

look at my eyes. You'll know my answer sir. I can't say it, though,

but they say the human eye can't lie?” answer Andrew.

John smiled. Then take the pen he put down

in his shirt pocket. He then wrote a few words on the paper he put

on the table. Darling, Andrew can't see it. Distance from end to end

too long to see. “Further question, who is the person named

This Jorge Ray Loscamilo?” ask Johanes. He then showed me a picture of Jorge's face.

“We are not stupid Andrew. You have to tell that to

nya. But the work is quite neat, we are almost fooled if not meticulous look

the evidence again. But again, just calm down. We'll all pretend

that we were fooled by the evidence. We're waiting until the time is right

to strike back,” explains Johanes.

Andrew was again surprised by John's opening.

John spilled all of it to Andrew. His thoughts on this case and

also the police plan. Andrew still did not know the purpose and purpose

John is behind this move. But Andrew believed, John meant well

and believe in her.

“She Jorge as you mentioned earlier. Zach's friend

who helped us in this case. He's innocent sir. She doesn't even

know nothing about this case. Believe in me.”

John looked carefully at Andrew's answer. Him

he seemed to care about Jorge. Trying several times to emphasize that

Jorge was not involved and Jorge was innocent. John wanted to meet

this guy named Jorge, but he doesn't have more time. Not anyway

there is also evidence pointing to Jorge in addition to altered evidence.

“Andrew, do you agree Fernando is in jail?” ask

John again. Actually, these questions have deviated from what

what John should have asked. Andrew could have refused

answer, and then report John's strange questions. But

Andrew knew that deep down he was trying to fix everything

these.

“I agree he's in jail for what he did, he said,

not for what he didn't do, sir. Don't tell this to Zach or

clara okay? But I don't like them getting Jorge into this case.

I also don't like that we're going to accuse Fernando. Mr. John, all this

too heavy for us to think about carefully. I mean, we just

a group of supposed High School kids are now studying for an exam

national. But you know what? No, we're in the interrogation room for

a case we don't even know about. Sorry if I was sassy sir. But you guys

flunked. You guys failed to find out who the culprit was, so we had to do

his in our own way.”

“We are trying our best Andrew. This case

also really sickening. I hate myself because I have to

put Fernando in jail today.”

“You're kidding. John please, Fernando is not

be guilty! You can't do that!” andrew shouted hysterically.

His side of compassion finally emerged, after being held for so long. In the end, though,

Andrew also cares about Fernando.

“Sorry Andrew. We have no other choice, except

the real killer we can find. And again, thanks for the time

mu. Interrogation for the Marsella murder case is over.” John then came out

from the interrogation room. He rubbed his eyes. Then he went to the terrace.

Light a cigarette and breathe it in. John's mind was so tormented

when I heard what Andrew said. He can't imagine

how will it be later.

At seven o'clock a press conference will be held

announce who the real killer is. John's heart was pounding very fast.

It felt like someone was stepping on his stomach and chest. He felt

I want to vomit right then and there. He supported his body with his right hand.

His breathing ran out like he was running. John was not prepared

what he's gonna do. Truly, even now he is thinking, what is

the kids feel it?

The press conference was held in front of the police station.

Many local journalists and even journalists from outside Aseline came

to cover. John's fellow policemen were already standing on the podium. Wait around

John was in the bathroom. Zach and the others also came

attend the press conference. They believe they are safe. However

Zach's confused. Clara, Jorge and Hayden were not there. All have been

tried to contact them, but there was no answer. In fact, Santriz was present at

sana. Zach has also asked Santriz where Clara is, but he has not

there's answers.

Fernando came in with his battered face. It

wearing Elizabeth's jacket. Fernando didn't look into the eyes of Zach and the others. It

sit in the back seat. After Fernando came,

like I've been crying.

John went straight to the podium. Take that paper

located on the podium. And without further ado or any opening greeting, he

directly speak his intent. “On behalf of the Aseline Police, I as

the head of the investigation into the murder of Marcella Gonzela, John Alex El

he declared Fernando Germanotta his murderer. However, before you

catch her or say something, there's also something I need to convey.

Clara Mara, one of the suspects in the case hit Fernando battered

Germanotta allegedly to cover up the evidence Fernando had on his phone.

Therefore Clara Mara is being held until further information.

Zachary Zebua, Andrew Edden, and Jorge Ray Loscamilo. Don't expect

you think I'll forget you. Hayden Haranta is declared free, and

in the time of surveillance. And the case is over, in theory. I'll stay

trying to find the mastermind of all this. So, thank you.”

John took a few steps back from his podium

stand up. He folded his hands on his chest and saw the situation calm down

turned into a riot. Fernando was still sitting quietly in his chair when several

police officers approached her with handcuffs. He smiled at John.

John did not return his smile, he just nodded. Zach doesn't believe it

with what he just heard. He tried to get to John, but

some cops are blocking Zach from trying to get to Johanes. “You, Zach,

my advice is not to get caught like Clara okay? I

will always keep an eye on you.”

“You can't be as pen—“ said Zach cut.

John immediately cut off Zach's sentence. His relaxed gaze turned angry. “Sure

I could just. Please, I'm the head of this investigation, Zach.”  John then went down from the podium without

Zach's. He lit his cigarette and went to stand near Fernando.

“I think, I'll see you in the yard?” ask Fernando

with smile. John took his cigarette out of his mouth. Throw smoke away

from his mouth, then speaking. “I'll make sure this is all done with

necessarily, Fernando.”

“Yes. I'll wait for that day.” Fernando was taken

go by the cops. He did not rebel or resist. He received

these arrests are normal. His heart knew he couldn't fight either.

After all, with his caught Fernando, Hayden could escape. Hayden hasn't

tell me nothing about his plans with Jorge to find the real culprit.

Fernando only knew that he could count on Hayden and John.

Meanwhile, Hayden, Hari and Jorge pay attention

arrest of Fernando from afar. They were sitting down drinking coffee at the Tea Shop.

“I was curious about what Johanes said,” said Jorge while drinking

coffee milk her.

“I bet your name is called,” Hayden said.

“And I don't,” overwrite Day.

“We're less than one person no?” ask Jorge

glancing at an empty chair.

“Yes. By the way, that guy is walking here,”

hayden replied as he signaled to look ahead.

The girl was aware with Hayden's gaze. He stared

return with a friendly smile. He was shocked to see Hari and Hayden. It doesn't

I never realized how similar the two of them were. Then Jorge. Jorge looks so

surprised to see who came. Hayden simply laughed with a reaction

Jorge's. The girl pulled the chair back so she could sit down. It folds

his hands on the table. Then, Duv comes to take the new guy's order

that's.

“So what do you want Santriz?” ask Hayden.

“One strawberry milk shake please,” Santriz said. Duv

instantly take down Santriz's order and immediately go towards the back for

make Santriz's order. Meanwhile, Jorge still did not believe in what

which happens. He had no idea Santriz was coming

as the girl who helped them. Than Santriz, Jorge doesn't know

who is the girl who is coming.

“This feels weird. I never imagined that

we will sit together like this,” said Santriz.

“I too. Ideas of hanging out with Hayden's friends

I really never thought about it,” Hari said in a sarcastic tone. It

knit his eyebrows and smile.

“What are our plans?” santriz asked while staring

Hayden, Jorge, and Hari.

“Oh no. Don't ask me. I'm just a mover, though,

not a thinker,” replied Hari.

“Searching for who the perpetrator is. My guess is people

full-grown. Another conjecture is that Mara's residence harbors answers that we

want,” replied Hayden.

“And I'll try to help Zach and the others

to realize that they are wrong. They just need a little push.

While Clara was on the lawn, there were only two people left to try to change,”

answer Jorge.

Santriz sighed. Then puff his head into

above sky. He covered the sunlight with his palm. Recently

Santriz got a call from Hayden. Hayden asks Santriz for help with

tell her everything, including Zach's plan and the others. Initially Santriz

refusing to help because he was unwilling to betray Clara. But after

knowing Clara is a vigilante, Clara chooses to help Hayden find her

the real killer. That way he thought he could help at once

Clara. Hayden also told Santriz about Fernando. Only Jorge is

I don't know about Fernando yet, and Santriz is convinced that this will be wrong later

if Hayden still doesn't tell Jorge.

Day joined them because he knew that

Hayden's in trouble. A brother with common sense is impossible

leaving her sister alone to take care of criminal matters. Anyway, what

what Zach did by accusing Fernando is not right.

Meanwhile, Zach and Andrew walk back home

to Andrew's house. Zach hasn't been home since his quarrel

with Ferdinand. Zach and Andrew had also tried to visit

Clara, but of course it was impossible without John's permission. John forbade

anyone who is part of the suspect to visit Clara. Zach's upset

with Clara because of her stupid plan. Not only is he in jail.

John also placed suspicion on them all. They did win

by successfully sending Fernando into prison, but their victory

clara is trapped in prison.

Two more months the court will be conducted according to

John. In two months it will all be over. Drama, trouble, and

this anger will end at the trial. Zach would love to take this off

all and back to the life of his normal high school student. His life before

Marcella's coming to Elizabeth High School. He wants to play again, and maybe not

think about what will happen tomorrow and make a plan

nya. He breathed on his way home to Andrew. Zach is sure of this

it's over, and so is Andrew. The rest of the time they will use it for

prepare for university exams. No more Marsella, no more

again Fernando, there's only a normal High School period for them. Two more months, done

it's not over the case depending on what's going to happen in Aseline

within two months. For the size of this small town, I don't think there will be

a lot happened.
