CHAPTER 13

The next day, the news of Mr. Prado is everywhere, TV, radio stations, newspapers, and magazines, social media. It shocked everyone that Mr. Prado was that kind of a person. He uses charity to cover who he is. People vouch for him that he is a good person. They can die for him, they can fight for him. Mr Prado was a very disappointment to those who believed and trusted in him. His case was a big blow to the world. He was too righteous for their liking.

Mr Prado's mansion

"What is it, Carlyle? What is chasing after you? Why are you so scared?"

"It's all over the news and the Internet, Miss Jenny. Everywhere."

"What is all over the news, Carlyle? Talk to me."

"Your father. It is all over the internet."

"Why are you shaking miss Jenny? What happened to my father? He's okay, right? I spoke with him yesterday. I think in the morning,. Yeah, in the morning, and he was alright. Did he call you? You know I don't like it when you behave this way."

"No miss, Jenny but the Internet is saying something bad about him. There's trouble."

" What trouble? Hahaha. You are funny, Miss Jenny. My dad, that can not even hurt a fly? Or is it someone else that you are mistaken for my Dad? Is your eyes paining you? You know my dad. So trust me it is not him."

"I'm not mistaken and it is him that I saw Miss Jenny."

"Oh please, Carlyle. Make me breakfast I'm hungry."

"You have to see this. Your Dad has been arrested. It happened last night. He has done a lot of bad things that you can not imagine." She rushed to the TV, the table picked up the remote and on the TV.

"You are serious?"

"Of course, I am. How can I joke with something like that? You have to watch this."

"It was bloody yesterday night, Mr Prado and his gang were arrested yesterday in his warehouse where the illegal business is taking place. A truck full of country band drugs and young girls being hostage was found, and there is a lot of evidence pointing to him, which proves that he is also involved in human there was an exchange of bullets between him and the police. He was arrested at last. The citizens were shocked to hear this because he was a well respectable man who was ever ready to help the people who were in need. Now we find out that they are all a facade........."

"No, it is a lie. My Dad will never do that. He is a kind man. Someone wants to spoil his name. Someone is trying to frame him. Please take me to the police station."

"But you have to change miss Jenny."

"I don't care! I don't care! I want to see my father! I need to clear his name as soon as possible!"

"But..."

"Get the car!"

"Yes Miss Jenny"

Arriving at the police station, there are a lot of people who are looking for a way to see mr. Prado. Press everywhere. Angry citizens everywhere shouting for justice for the innocent souls Mr Prado has destroyed.

"Miss Jenny. There's no way for us to enter the police station."

"Then find a way! I want to see my father!"

They secretly enter the police station without people noticing. Covering themselves.

"Please I want to see my Dad, officer."

"And you are?"

" I am his daughter, Mr Prado's daughter. Please let me see him."

"Give me a moment."

"Carlyle I'm scared. What if it is true? All they are saying is, what if it is true? that he is a monster"

"Don't worry miss Jenny, we will find out the truth."

After some minutes, they were directed to the room and only Mr. Prado's daughter was allowed to enter the room. Mr. Prado was seated with handcuffs in his hands. He looked so miserable. He looked to aged more than 20 years of his life in the space of five hours.

"Dad!!!"

"Oh, my Princess. How are you doing? Are you okay? I hope you are not hurt?"

"Dad please, tell me it is not true. Everything they are saying is not true. Someone is framing you up right?"

"I'm sorry that you found me like this."

"But you didn't do it right? Please I need the truth from you. Tell me you didn't do it. You are not a human trafficker. You are not a drug dealer."

"I'm sorry that I failed you. Please live a good life."

"Oh my God!!! It's true. How did you want me to come to terms with this? You were such a good man. Why did you allow the greed of money to push you into doing something dirty like this? Something so terrible and inhuman. How did you want me to live? How did you expect me to spend the money that is made from the tears of young girls and boys? Their agony, their pains, their family's tears, and prayers for the safety of their young ones not knowing that they are long gone. You wine and dine in their cry for help. How did you want me to leave with that? I have been spending money, living a life that is made out of their blood and tears. I have to leave with the guilt of sin that I, Jennifer, did not commit. Why Dad? Why will I live like that?"

"I'm sorry, so sorry. Ok, I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me that, I'm not the one you need to apologize to. When you reach the underworld, apologies to the girls who are dead and God whom you end the lives of the beautiful creatures he created."

"Jenny, I will overcome this, my lawyers are finding a way to get me out of this mess. It is just a phase it will pass."

"I don't care how you do it but just know that you are no longer my father. And this is not a phase. You will face justice."

"I am your father, Jenny, no matter what sin I have committed. The fact remains that I am your Father!!! You don't talk to me like that."

"No, you don't. You are not my father. He died many years ago. Goodbye, Mr. Prado."

"Jenny! Jennifer!!!"

She angrily storms out of the detention room.

"Miss Jenny? Is he ok?"

"Prepare Carlyle. We are leaving this country."

"But....."

"No, but. We...are... Leaving. Please don't let me repeat myself. He did everything Carlyle, everything. Drugs, human trafficking, everything. How did you expect me to leave with that? I'm so very ashamed of myself right now. He has disappointed me. I need a new identity. Please get it for me. We will leave immediately after his trial. Please get the papers ready we will be leaving as soon as possible."

"Okay. I will get everything done before the court hearing."

"Good. Let's get out of here before the angry mob see us. If they do, we are in deep trouble.
