The Casa Del Castaneda

The Paloma Challenge

“Good day,” greet the man in the brown leather jacket, while nodding politely to Rogelio. He reached out his hand, taking the middle-aged man by the hand.

“Good day,” reply Rogelio. Doubtful, Paloma's father returned the handshake offered by the stranger. “Whose you?” tanya Rogelio was on guard.

“Include. My name is Abelardo Lujan. I'm the inspector of police for the Porcuna sector. Incidentally, I also headed the investigation in the case of the accident that killed Mr. Rafael Hernandez,” obviously the man who is none other than Abelardo.

“Oh, so. Alright. Please come in, Mr. Lujan.” Rogelio opened the door wide enough, then turned his hand inside, as a gesture for Abelardo to enter the Paloma treatment room.

“Thank you, Mr...”

“Gallardo. Rogelio Gallardo,” said Paloma's father mentioned his full name.

Abelardo nodded politely, as he walked into Paloma's treatment room. At that moment, he saw the woman half-sitting on the bed. The beautiful hazel-eyed lady just now stared intently at him. However, Abelardo remained calm. He stood gallantly at the end of the bed, with a fully directed look at the woman who was none other than Paloma. “Mrs Paloma Hernandez,” greet the police inspector kindly.

“Yes. That's me,” Paloma replied not as gracious as Abelardo's attitude.

“My name is Abelardo Lujan,” said Abelardo, re-introducing himself.

“I heard it earlier.” Paloma's tone has not changed. “What suddenly did you come here?” asked the brown-haired beauty without the slightest smile.

“Of course to discuss the issue of the accident, which befell you and your husband a few days ago,” replied Abelardo still looking calm and friendly as possible.

Sneaky smile on the corner of Paloma's lips. He responded to Abelardo's words with a sneering look. “I thought, the police would not bother with the accident that hit us both. Until now, no one has come here to ask me about it" he said.

Abelardo did not answer immediately. He scratched his forehead slowly, as if he was thinking of words. Along with that, Rogelio offered the seat to the police inspector.

“Thank you, Mister,” said Abelardo politely. He sat down on the chair. Rogelio chose to go near the bed, then sat on the edge.

“Actually, our officers have come here several times. However, at that time Mrs Paloma was in a state that is not possible, so we decided to wait until you are more stable and can communicate well, he said,” clearly Abelardo keep his wife in front of Paloma and Rogelio.

“I think Mr. Gallardo knows it.” Abelardo turned his gaze to Rogelio, who replied to his words with a soft nod.

“Why didn't dad ever tell me?” tanya Paloma pitched a protest.

“I wait until you recover, son,” Rogelio.

“I'm fine, Dad!” paloma stared intently at Rogelio. After that, he turned his gaze to Abelardo. “What have you and the other officer's son done, Sir? How far has your performance been in investigating this case?” Paloma's question is so sharp, it's at the heart of the matter.

Abelardo smiled calmly. He was analyzing the female character before him. Abelardo can't go wrong. Moreover, because he had closed the accident case that hit Paloma some time ago.

“Alright, Mrs Hernandez.” Abelardo started the conversation. “If indeed you already feel ready, then I will ask you some questions.”

“Alright, Mistress.” Abelardo had a serious face. “So, according to the results of the investigation that has been done, we found there are two tire scrapes from two different types of vehicles. Did you know or maybe remember something before the accident happened?” ask the inspector.

Paloma did not answer. His memory floated up a while ago. The woman's mind turned back the scene, while she was driving with Rafael.

“We just got back from Casa del Castaneda. There was nothing strange when Rafael and I left that place. However, suddenly ...” Paloma helplessly continued his words, as he seemed to feel the horror back when the car he was riding was hit from the side, to the toppling and finally slipped into the abyss.

“Everything happened so fast. I did not even have time to scream for help, because the car we were riding had already hit the road barrier and then slipped and ..” Paloma suddenly felt agitated.

The woman's breath was breathing irregularly. A pair of beautiful hazel eyes were completely opened, when the flashback of the tragic incident was again clearly depicted on the pelukannya. Moreover, when he heard the sound of a very powerful explosion, with concentrated acid soaring into the air.

“Rafael. Why didn't I realize my husband was still in the car? Though, very clearly I heard his voice telling me to get out of the vehicle.” Paloma held onto his head which was still wrapped in bandages.

“Sebastian! Sebastian Cruz Castaneda said he didn't want to see us both forever! That man threatened us! He poses a threat coinciding with a tragic accident that .. You must imprison that person! He's the one at fault in this!” paloma. He was so convinced by the accusations he made to Sebastian.

Abelardo. “Can't be so, Mistress,” reject it. “We work and determine someone is guilty or not, based only on evidence that can be accounted for. We will not arbitrarily arrest and imprison someone, just because of one threat that has not been ascertained related to this accident case.”

“Did you see the type of car that crashed into your vehicle back then, Mrs?” ask Abelardo again. He returned to the question he had prepared.

“Black,” Reply Paloma. “At a glance, I saw the vehicle in black.”

“Jeep or SUV?” abelardo asked again.

Paloma recalled and described the incident in his mind. “SUVs. Yeah, I guess it's SUV.”

Abelardo. He will match the description given by Paloma, with CCTV footage from Sebastian. These two things can be a series that will help him, in uncovering the case of a tragic accident that has killed Rafael Hernandez.

“Alright, Mistress. I think, enough for today.” Abelardo moved from his seat. The police inspector strode up to the bed, then stood next to Rogelio. “Thank you for the information, Madam. We promise to investigate the case soon. You don't have to worry.”

“We also thank him for his help, Mr. Inspector Lujan.” Rogelio represented Paloma in response to Abelardo's remarks.

“Sama-sama, Mr. Gallardo. This has become our responsibility as the authorities.” Abelardo greeted Rogelio warmly. “May you recover soon, Madam.” The man nodded politely to Paloma. “I'll excuse you. Good day.”

Abelardo turned. He steps to the door with Rogelio.

However, just as the police inspector was about to exit the treatment room, Paloma suddenly again said, “Do you dare to aim at Sebastian Cruz Castaneda?” his challenge.

“If you dare to bully him and can prove whether he is responsible or not in this case, I will be very grateful. However, if you don't have the courage for it, then I'll move on my own. I will seek justice, without the help of the police who should have been more authoritative.”
