The Killer's Fret

“I’m telling Mr. Daniel!” Zeke exclaimed as he started to walk towards Detective Daniel’s office. I immediately stopped him by holding his arms.

“Please, don’t!” I pleaded.

He looked at me with a smirk on his face. “You’re scared to lose your job, but not scared to get into that company as an undercover agent?” he asked in a sarcastic voice. “It’s not like you can go undercover without telling Mr. Daniel, if he looks for you I can’t cover for you for too long.”

“You are right, what should I do?” I asked while trying to think of a plan. “What if I asked for a 1 month leave?”

“Are you stupid? We are so busy they won’t allow you,” he said while looking around, he’s right again. We are so busy after the police dump all of their cases in our agency. “Also you aren’t that great to finish an undercover mission in just a month.”

“Then, what should I do!?” I asked.

“Just stop already and help me write a report about this case,” he said while showing me the envelope.

“No!” I exclaimed as I walked towards the office of Detective Daniel.

“Hey, where are you going?” Zeke asked.

“I’m going to tell him the truth, if I get fired or not I don’t care anymore. I will continue what I planned to do and investigate that company!” I shouted.

“Geez, you’re so crazy! What do you think you are, a hero!?” he exclaimed.

“I’m no hero, but I want to bring justice to the people who got killed by those bastards,” I said before I opened the door of Daniel’s office.

“What do you want?” he asked as I stepped into his office. He's holding a lot of papers in his hands. “Don’t you ever think about giving me some dumb evidences again.”

“I’m here to tell you something, sir,” I said while looking down.

“Stop wasting my time, if it’s about the Aegis Oasis you better give up before I get seriously mad!” he exclaimed.

“I’m quitting,” I said with a straight face. Daniel paused to look at me, he drops everything he’s holding before walking towards me.

“Hey hey, what do we have here? A baby throwing a tantrum because daddy didn’t accept his evidence report?” he said in a mocking tone.

“I want to quit before you fire me,” I said while looking into his eyes.

“And why would I fire you? I’m not that immature to fire someone just because they keep on giving me useless evidence reports,” he said while laughing.

“I’m going to move independently and I know you hate that kind of stuff so I decided to quit because you will eventually fire me soon enough,” I said before turning my back to him.

“Hugo, you bastard! I told you don’t mess with the Aegis Oasis!” he shouted.

“I’m just going to investigate, because that’s what a real detective does,” I said before slamming the door.

I can hear Daniel’s scream from outside of his office, everyone’s looking at me. I don’t care what they think anymore, I’m going to do this and prove them that I’m right.

“What happened?” Zeke asked.

“I’m done with this agency, so I guess this is a good bye for us Zeke,” I smiled as I walked out of the building.

I can hear Zeke calling me, but I didn’t bother to look back anymore. I made my decision and I will stick up to it until the end and show them what a real detective is.

I can hear Mr. Jabez shouting. It looks like they are having an argument with Mr. Manson. I accidentally overheard what they talked about and I honestly think that it's too much. I know Mr. Jabez asked me to guide Mr. Manson but it wasn't that easy to just contradict his decisions. But for me, even if that lady was a mistress, and was carrying a child of Mrs. Wilson's husband it wasn't enough reason to kill both of them. That child in that lady's womb might become a good person when he grew up. Mrs. Wilson should give that child a chance to be born and to live. Just like what Mr. Manson said, I also suffer from nightmares that never ends. The souls of the death keeps on bothering me every time I close my eyes but I cannot do anything. This is what I got myself into and now there's not going back. Just like Mr. Jabez, I'm also staying for a certain someone. There's a lot of things going on that we have forget about the stuff that had happen.

"Mrs. Wilson's going to be furious about this." I can hear Mr. Manson's voice through the door.

"You care so much about that client of yours?" Mr. Jabez shouted.

I feel bad for eavesdropping but I want to know what's going on. I have never seen Jabez got angry like this, I guess this company is really important to him. He keep his mission and vision throughout even if he's on the highest pinch. Making me fell in love even more. But there's no time for those feelings as of now. We are busy with these problems. I hope we can overcome everything together. And I lowkey wish that we can live a normal life, where Mr. Jabez won't be that hard to reach and we won't have to worry about our future tomorrow.
