Vincent’s POV
“I have found out for you Sir. The CEO of the company is Carlos Padilla Sr.”
My secretary Donovan tells me when I decided to call in sick because of this flu I have gotten.
“I hate it that I got this flu a week before we had to leave for Puerto Rico-ACHOO!” I grunted to Donovan before being cut off by the need to sneeze. “Bless you Sir.” He covers his mouth telling me.
“Appreciated.” I replied, taking a tissue to sneeze before throwing it away. “But we really had to see Mr Padilla.” I insisted to Donovan.
“His niece has suffered so much ever since she joined the FBI.” I then explained to him. “It’s proper I had to give him a proper apology as Rodrigo’s superior.” I soon continue
“And I want you to help me check something when I’m not around though.” I said to Donovan and it got him looking at me confused.
“Why? Want to come with me to Puerto Rico again even though you have just have returned from there?”
I soon asked him. “I’m wondering haven’t you already punished Deputy Chief Han? Why we have to go to Puerto Rico apologizing to him Sir?” He soon asks me back.
“Punished Deputy Chief Han I had already.”
I nodded my head saying to him. “But it seems to me there be a new unfortunate lady coming into his life.” I continued, not wanting to give this intelligent brat an easy hit-on-the-nail guessing.
“He seem to have engaged very indecent acts in the office with her and my son has catch them red-handed.”
I added on. Donovan cringed the moment I have finished telling him this brief story. “Very indecent oops” He commented cringing.
“I know” I sighed. “But be mindful he had a very hot temper unfortunately though Sir.” Donovan soon informs me. “Hot-tempered or not, surely a businessman will never say no to any possible negotiation beneficial.” I said to him.
“Unless he of course wishes for an early retirement”
I continued. “Of course of course” Donovan nods his head agreeing with me. “I thought you will have brighter eyes considering your father was an financial trade expert himself.” I soon looked at him saying.
“I’m not an economics graduate Sir.” He then reminds me back. “Fair enough.” I nod my head before getting him to call for the airlines to book tickets to Puerto Rico.
Soon, my wife Melissa was paging me to call her. I immediately give her a call. It was about our youngest Mia.
“Gli adolescenti ultimamente hanno solo una mente tutto loro...(Teenagers lately just have a mind of their own...)”
I reassure my wife when she rants to me about Mia coming back for dinner. “Potrebbe anche cacciarla se inizia a trattare la casa per un hotel! (Might as well kick her out if she starts treating the house for a hotel!)” Melissa continues ranting.
At the same time, her brother Salvatore barges in as he please as his sister, my wife is ranting away, leaving my hands tied because if I cut off the call to attend to work, I will get it hard tonight but I can’t delay my work either.
Oh no...what am I supposed to do...?
Letizia’s POV
“Seriously!”
I softly ranted as I’m driving on my way to my twins’ school as their Literature teacher called me to meet her urgently.
‘I hope those girls aren’t giving me problems.’ I prayed as I am trying not to hit anybody though I’m trying to get to the school as fast as I can.
It took me a while to get to the school. “Mrs McForbes. Good afternoon” The front-door guard greeted me when I arrived. “Save the greetings. I’m here on something urgent.” I said while filling out the usual troublesome paperwork.
“Oh! Is it about the toilet smacking?”
The guard soon asked me and I looked at him. “I beg your pardon but... w-what...t-toilet smacking?” I asked him, stuttering while trying to absorb in as much information as I can.
“Well well...eight girls in final grade from this morning are involved in some toilet smacking during Literature class.”
The guards soon start explaining. “Yeah go on.” I said for him to proceed his explanation. “Principal Prestwick soon walks in thinking somebody play ball in the toilet but she soon find a** smacking instead.” He soon continues. “Connor says its for a play but Principal thought otherwise.” He then adds on to me saying.
“Where’s the Principal’s office?”
I asked as I soon remember the school office has done renovations recently. “Just at the back of the Vice Principal’s near the cafeteria.” The guard answers pointing to me the direction.
“Geez! That’s odd!” I muttered softly to myself. “But thanks.” I thanked the guard before walking the route to the office.
Antonio’s POV
“Qualche buona notizia? (Any good news?)”
I asked my mother after my father hung up on her due to work. “B-Buone notizie?! (G-Good news?!)” She soon puts down the phone scoffing to me.
“Non riceve alcuna cena da me! (He is getting no dinner from me!)"124Please respect copyright.PENANA6VOn6YmRht
She says before angrily stomping off to her room and slamming the door as loud as a jet machine. 'Oh dear...' I think to myself gritting, as I know what my father will be getting when he finishes work.124Please respect copyright.PENANAp6mfhBKCpj
Something soon shoots down the couch and it was small paper tied in some shoestring. I immediately grab the paper and went to look out for the window, but sadly, there isn't anybody or anything I can find.124Please respect copyright.PENANATTJ3sSKFrm
'Are people being creeps lately?' 124Please respect copyright.PENANAir55qvcnIe
I think to myself before I untie the shoestring, opening the paper and see that it was a note to me which I am feeling nothing but very awkward goosebumps.124Please respect copyright.PENANAR9RwQ5p5tf
'Agent Montessori. Laura Padilla apparently also studied the same school as you. Tomorow, 6pm, Bush Springs Chinese Cafe to find out who I am'124Please respect copyright.PENANA40qVzLY0Hb
The letter reads. 'N-No way!' I think to myself trying not to believe my eyes. Considering my father is flying into Puerto Rico soon to apologize to the CEO of Padilla Tea, this is very mixed feelings for me to absorb.124Please respect copyright.PENANAoNFRskYTMZ
This must be a lie...I must find out who send me this note...124Please respect copyright.PENANAS3Zs4fz5lh
John's POV124Please respect copyright.PENANAmsW7EdGsXC
After paying Mr James the tip, I arrived at the doorstep of the Emory Place Corrections Office. I was so amused that my face and eyes are instantly awoken by how the outside of the place looked.124Please respect copyright.PENANAbo2O36zmcV
"How can I help you there Mister?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAwiVSTqJLrd

"I wonder what brings you here to Emory Place? We last have FBI Agents visiting us here 25 years ago." Lloyd soon asks me about my visit. "That's long..." I gasped a little to myself in shock before explaining to Lloyd my reason here.124Please respect copyright.PENANASHP2cM8LH8
"I'm here regarding a cold case. Is Senior Officer James on duty today?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAspqSC7JA7r
I explain and asked Lloyd about the person I'm looking for. "Senior Officer Sydney James Jr.?" He asks and I nodded my head. "I can help you with that, my twin is a partner to James." Lloyd smiles before getting his phone to call.124Please respect copyright.PENANABctevwHgXU
"Ah yes thank you!"124Please respect copyright.PENANAW0MyW3rxBw

I said to Lloyd when we reached the said place. "We had a prison break-in the last time we are to guard near those inmates so measures had to be taken." He then explains to me as a thin looking lady officer walks towards us.124Please respect copyright.PENANAg4xKQTSaX8
"Yo sis!"124Please respect copyright.PENANAmlVciSsMuG
Lloyd calls up to the lady. "Yo bruh! Didn't know ya be taking a FBI agent here." The lady, who is apparently his twin, says to Lloyd.124Please respect copyright.PENANAY8ZqEsEn3y
"Agent McForbes, meet Junior Officer Savannah Carmichael." Lloyd introduced his twin to me. "Sis, meet FBI Junior Agent John McForbes." He then introduced me to his sister.124Please respect copyright.PENANArgSK7O4qwF
"Nice to meet you"124Please respect copyright.PENANAeRci47UB2z
We both greeted by exchanging handshakes. "Likewise, what brings you here?" Savannah then asks me. "Is Senior Officer Sydney James around?" I asked her.124Please respect copyright.PENANAiDnt046iLA
"Yes inside."124Please respect copyright.PENANAbkxbTdSMIo
She says before she takes me inside while Lloyd waits outside for me. "Good day there Agent McForbes." The Senior Officer greets me after Savannah introduces me to him. "You can call me John. Nice to meet you." I greeted him saying.124Please respect copyright.PENANAaDi8G3TTVu
"Hope everything is well for you here."124Please respect copyright.PENANAl3mejsZly0
He smiles. "But what brings you to me?" He soon asks me as Savannah leave us both alone. "Not really a grave thing. Just about the Nat Hayden case." I then explain the reason I'm here.124Please respect copyright.PENANA1UnaVk5fz2
"I understand you've lived the same vicinity as Nat Hayden."124Please respect copyright.PENANAEbpOtwgUrb
I continued explaining. "I would like to know if you still remember anything else about the perp and also any extra details regarding Nat Hayden." I end off saying.124Please respect copyright.PENANAdi4Hjq2jB8
"Well well...I really only remember a red-strawberry hair person coming in that very night." He responds to me. "But that young lass was also very new to the vicinity." He then continues.124Please respect copyright.PENANAaochy7a4Bx
"How new?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAbjkm4ItM3r
I then asked. "Very new like 2 weeks, usually you take one month to get everyone knowing everything about ya." He says which I nod my head understanding.124Please respect copyright.PENANAhKuTpbHvUz
"Do you notice anybody special prior to the incident?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAFQpBow0BfP
I soon carefully asked Sydney. "Not really up till that night. But I remember that lass always look very stressed." He answers scratching his head.124Please respect copyright.PENANAI4sZPBZzCC
"Usually people that age be living free like a bird but she looks like something on in her life but yet she can't get it off..." He soon continues.124Please respect copyright.PENANAFAjAqGDByA
"You never asked her?"124Please respect copyright.PENANAvlAScApDqE
I soon asked him. "I wish I had but I'm very busy with getting a promotion that I barely been home in the weekends." He answers.124Please respect copyright.PENANA5D6OM7A3eJ
"Fair enough."124Please respect copyright.PENANA7BI0vbPZfY
I nodded my head understanding. "Times have gotten better that I have gotten the promotion." He comments. "Yes of course. I can see you must have bust for it." I said to him even though deep down I find his answers vague and suspicious124Please respect copyright.PENANA8CPTpWJg16
-2 Hours Later-124Please respect copyright.PENANAcNN0BZPicg
"I thank you for this interview."124Please respect copyright.PENANA2KxegHUmsd
I said as I took his offer to escort me out. "No worries. I am glad to help if you need anymore assistance." He says to me.124Please respect copyright.PENANAxYs7kCRP07
We soon bid our farewell and went out separate ways. I walked to this Fried Chicken shop down the street where the corrections office is located.124Please respect copyright.PENANApGe9ubjWCN
"Mama Harris Fried Chicken with Collard Greens and Secret Sauce!"124Please respect copyright.PENANAKUHnjyBWix
One of the staff was promoting as I was looking at the menu and trying to figure out what will be good here. Somewhat I was pulled into the shop before I could do anything and sat down on those rustic wooden seats.124Please respect copyright.PENANALFYMaJGfFV
'What am I doing here?'124Please respect copyright.PENANAUGndQap67a
I think to myself looking around before a plump African lady walk towards me. She looks menacing to the point I could feel my stomach line closing on its own.124Please respect copyright.PENANAhUjboP8cyd
"Are ya young bloke from the FBI?"
