THE ENCOUNTER AND THE CRIME
BELLA’S POV
Ryle is in the police station, so I sped up my car. What did he do this time?
“ Bella, can you slow down? The way you drive fast, we will only end up with accidents or arrests. “ Riri told me nervously.
“ I am not in the over limit yet, so you do not have to worry. “ I calm her down while staying my attention on the road.
“ I know, but you are still driving too fast. I am the one who is being nervous for us. “ Riri complained, so I do not have a choice but to slow down in driving.
After a few minutes, we arrived at the police station. While Riri was looking for a parking space for my car, I quickly walked to the front desk to inquire about where my brother is. It is unbelievable. For the first time, I noticed several upscale cars parked outside a police station. Did they have a tour of the station?
“ Hi, where is Ryle Soriano? “ I asked the officer that is bowing in his desk.
The officer suddenly looked up, then immediately stood up.
“ Salute! “ he politely said, then he raised his hand putting it on his forehead.
We each saluted each other before placing our hands on the ground. I do not understand how the officer came to know that I work for the police.
“ What do you need? “ the officer asked me politely.
“ Someone called me from here stating that my brother is here. Ryle Soriano is his name. “ I answered,
“ Ah, your brother is one of the few youths who rumbled in a bar a while back. He is currently in the interrogation room for his testimony. “ the officer answered and explained to me.
“ Where is it exactly? “ I asked him again.
“ Go straight upstairs to the right side of the second floor, then you will see the interrogation room. “ the officer answered me.
“ All right, thank you. “ I said with gratitude and then turned my back to him.
“ Ah, Miss! “ the officer called me, so I looked at him.
“ Your badge is still visible. You can be a target upstairs if people know that you are the police. “ he said to me. So I took a quick look to see if my badge was somewhere, and sure enough, it was.
“ Thank you, I will go ahead. “ I bid goodbye to the officer after I removed and put my badge in my pocket.
The fact that he recognized my badge was what caused him to be startled and salute me earlier. Maybe I forgot to remove my badge because I am rushing earlier. I immediately went straight to the place where the officer pointed me. I noticed a lot of young men lined up in the waiting area. Some of them have black eyes and fresh blood on their scars. Myghad, what did Ryle enter with? I approached one officer to ask about Ryle.
“ Good evening, I am Detective Soriano. May I know where Ryle Soriano is? " I spoke softly when I questioned the cop, but he still appeared astonished.
“ Sister! “
The officer was ready to answer when someone called me behind my back. I immediately look at him.
“ Ryle! “ I called him with concern.
Ryle immediately approached me and hugged me. However, he received a hit on his head from me after we broke the hug. Ryle catches the portion where I struck him right away.
“ What did you do now? You always make me worry. “ I told him after I put my hand to my side.
“ I am sorry, Sister. But I am the victim here. “ he explained.
“ You are the victim? You do not have any scars or bruises. “ I told him with unbelief.
“ It is because before they could hit me, someone had already helped me. So, I do not have any bruises. “ Ryle gave an explanation that makes me scowl.
“ Who helped you? “ I asked him in curiosity.
“ There he is. My cool brother. “ Ryle said while pointing to a man who was currently talking with an officer.
“ You really called him your cool brother! “ I told Ryle while laughing.
“ Of course, sister. If you saw how he threw punches at those guys who wanted to hurt me, he looked like an action star. “ Ryle told me with a visible amusement in his shining eyes. Tsk, childish.
“ You are really amazed. But we will talk later about how you went to that bar.” He swallows his saliva as a result of what I said with complete authority. If he thought that I forgot what he did, he was wrong.
I approached the officer that was talking with the cool brother Ryle was talking about. Ryle followed me in a quiet manner.
“ Excuse me, is my brother’s case done? “ I asked the officer that seemed surprised about seeing me. I raised my eyebrow, and the person Ryle was talking about was fake a cough.
“ Ah, yes, Miss. He got lucky because he was saved by Sir and his friends. “ The police responded when he came back to reality. I simply nodded in answer, then turned to look at the person who had just saved my brother.
“ Thanks for saving my brother. “ I said gratefully, but I did not hear any response. Arrogant!
“ It is okay, Miss beautiful. “ the man answered me. He came out of nowhere.
“ My name is Andrew. “ he added and put his in front as a gesture of shaking hands.
“ Bella. “ I said then I accept his gesture and we shake our hands.
“ Your name is as beautiful as your face. “ he commented after we let go of each other’s hands.
“ We should get going. I still have work tomorrow morning. “ I said to Andrew and to that arrogant guy.
Andrew just waved his hands while the guy that Ryle is talking about stayed with no emotions. Ryle and I walked away, but before we left the place, I still heard what the officer told that guy.
“ Mr. Christopher Ramirez, you still need to stay here for your testimony on your damaged car.“
Christopher Ramirez? It is a nice name if he is not arrogant. When Ryle and I reached the exit of the police station, we saw Riri waiting for us.
“ Sister Riri! “ Ryle called her and then hugged her. But like what I did a while back, Ryle also received a hit from Riri.
“ You, you should not make your sister worry too much. You make me scared for my life. “ Riri told Ryle. A chuckle came out of my mouth because of the last words Riri said to Ryle.
“ Sorry Sister Riri, Sorry to Sister Bella. “ Ryle said apologetically.
“ It is fine now, but you still need to explain to me what happened when we reached our home. “ I said after I approached them.
“ Yes, sister. “ Ryle answered me politely.
“ All right let’s go. “ I told them.
They both simply nodded, then we hop in the car. After more than thirty minutes, we reached our home. When we entered our house, I went straight to my bed. I will just talk to Ryle tomorrow since I am too tired, and I know that he is too. After a while, I feel sleepy and slept.
>>> ON THE NEXT DAY
I was startled awake when the sun's rays hit my eyes. Argh! What time is it? My eyes widened when I saw that it was already almost seven in the morning. Shocks, my duty in the headquarters starts at eight in the morning. I immediately get the clothes I will wear today. It is a relief that I already prepared it last night. I go straight to the bathroom and take a bath.
After a few minutes, I had finished my morning routine. I ran fast downstairs to reach our garage to get my car.
“ Sister, wait. “ Ryle shouted, so I stopped running.
“ Why? “ I quickly asked him.
He did not answer me. He just approached me and gave me a paper bag.
“ Oh, eat that on the way to the office so that you will be satisfied when you arrive and can work. “ Ryle said while smiling.
“ Woah, are you making up? Thank you, Ryle. I will go ahead. “I said goodbye to him.
“ Take care, sister. I love you. “ Ryle said sweetly, then he hugged me.
“ You study hard. I love you too. “ I reminded Ryle, then I broke our hug.
“ Go ahead, Sister, or you will be late. “ Ryle said to me.
I simply smiled at him and waved my hands. I ran fast towards my car and drove it. Just like what Ryle told me, I ate the packed breakfast he made while I am on my way to headquarters. I am almost near the headquarters when Riri called me.
“ Hello, Riri. Good morning “ I greeted her after I answered her call.
( Where are you? We have a new case to handle. )
“ I am near the headquarters. What is the case? “ I asked Riri
( Do not go to the headquarters anymore. Just go straight to the location that I texted you. The whole team is already here. About the case, it is a murder of a female reporter. ) “ Any lead? “ I asked Riri again.
( Yes, the suspect is here. )
“ Weird, he was not able to escape? “ I asked Riri because of full of curiosity.
( If you think it is weird, you will be shocked by what I will have to say. He just woke up when we arrived here at the crime scene. He is with the dead body, and he still holding the murder weapon. )
“ What? If everything is there already, why should I go there for? “ I asked her again in confusion.
( Simply because the suspect does not want to admit the crime. )
“ What? Never mind! After all, who admitted the crime he did? We will just see each other there. “ I told her, then ended the call.
I drove the car faster until I reached the hotel. When I arrived there, many reporters are outside the vicinity of the hotel. The police officer guarding the lobby escort me to go inside. Then, I went directly to the crime scene.
“ Riri! “ I called Riri when I saw her.
“ Bella! I hope you did not eat your breakfast because the victim was killed brutally and full of passion in anger.
“ Riri tried to warn me, but she was too late because I had already eaten the packed breakfast Ryle made for me.
“ Hey, let go of me. Like I told you, I did not kill that girl. “
Riri and I ran towards the room where the suspect was staying after we heard him shouting. My eyes widened when I saw the man that has handcuffed in his arms. What did Christopher Ramirez do here?
