Afterwards, She moved her ear to his chest. “Help me” His voice was weak and shaky. She finally brought out a tear. She sighed deeply and ran back to the car, jacked the door forcefully and went in.
At once, The car zoomed off. “Give me your number” The lady commanded. Myles opened her bag and handled her a business card.
“No one must hear of this. I’m gonna keep in touch with you. Just so you know, I’m with you physically and spiritually. So, if you say something you aren’t supposed to say. Newton is gonna die. You wanna bet?”
“But… But what if the police finds out? It’s my car! What if they arrest me?!!”
“Then just take the blame”
“What? Do you want me to be miserable forever?”
“It’s your business. Anyways, I’m gonna hatch a plan. Uhh… As for the car, It’s better to abolish it”
“What if your plans doesn’t work??!” Myles shouted
“Then you have to go to jail”
“Me? Go where? To jail? You were the one –
“Do you love your boyfriend or not?”
“Huh??”
“Answer me!”
“I love him! I do love him!”
“That’s good. Now, Respect my decisions or he dies. No one must hear of this and you’re to take all the blame for everything. Okay?!” The lady asked aloud. Myles started tearing up while breathing heavily at the same time.
“I said, Okay???!” The lady yelled again.
“O… Okay” Myles stammered as tears flowed out the more.
“So, Myles… Forget I was ever here” The lady smiled adjusting her hand on the steering wheel as the lemon hand band dangled freely on her wrist.
➡️PRESENT DAY➡️
“So? You’ve covering up for the criminal because of Newton?” Carly asked gnashing her teeth angrily
“Uhmm… Not really. It’s just I’m too scared of corpses. What if she really shows me his corpse? Aiish! No.. I don’t want that!” Myles laughed trying to hide all seriousness.
“Unnie.. The cops can help you.. Both of you, Newton included. But you’ve confessed something else already! We need a stronger evidence to prove it’s not you”
“Look.. What if the lady eventually finds out I said the truth? What’s gonna happen to me? Newton too?! You know I’ve been really depressed ever since that incident. Do you know? I received a lot of threatening letters including scary parcels. Sometimes, It would be skinned chicken and even dead birds! I’m scared. I’m telling you. That lady is one weird of a kind psychopath!”
“No. No.. I’m gonna talk to Mr Adam?–
“That annoying ahjussi?” Myles scoffed.
“Yeah–Carly replied nodding.
…Anyways, He’s gonna make sure you are safe. So as Newton too! Nothing is going to get out of this station. We will keep everything low till we find the criminal!”
“What if it spreads? She’s gonna hear it and come for me?–
“That’s exactly what I’m saying here! She’s isn’t gonna hear it, either will she see you” Carly interrupted frustrated.
“Carly.. Things get out easily! Like wild fire, they spread! I can’t risk it. I’m a celebrity and someone could just say something to keep my News alive”
“Unnie… Unnie, Trust me! Please!!” Carly pleaded holding Myles’s hand. She looked back at Carly and sighed deeply.
“Okay. I trust you. Let’s do this. So, What do you want?” Myles asked quite calm.
“Any evidence?”
“Uhmm.. Atually, In the car, there was a dash cam–
“Dash Camera? What’s it?” Carly was confused
“I thought you were Miss Know All?” Myles teased
“Unnie.. Just get straight to the point. I’ve never heard of it since it’s my first time investigating a grand case like this”
“Okay.. Okay.. Let me explain it to you. A Dash Camera is a car video recording device”
“Wow! You don’t mean it?? Wait… You mean the dash camera recorded everything? That means I can see the criminal face!”
“But there’s bad news though. That criminal is also smarter–
“What? Don’t tell me? ..
“Uhhn!!.. Uhnn!!.. The lady has its memory card!”
“Oh no!!!” Carly groaned.
“That means we need to catch the culprit before the evidence will be brought out?” She added
“Yeah. I guess so?”
“That means The Lemon Hand Band with the Fig Tree and Dove Logo is our only hope of knowing who that person truly is?”

“Sam? Are you busy?” Blaze asked
“No. I’m done with work” Samantha smiled
“Thank Goodness! I want you to accompany me to the market if you don’t mind? We ran out of rice” Blaze smiled back.
“Okay. There isn’t a problem”
“Thank you. Just hold on, I’m gonna go change into something else” Blaze said as he ran swiftly to his room still smiling.
Samantha looked around and her eyes met with Newton who was coming in. He was combing his hair as he walked in. Meanwhile, Samantha kept stealing stares at him with a broad written smile on her face. She didn’t know what took over her.
She started walking close to him. She halted and smiled.
“Newton.. I wanna talk to you?” She said.
She couldn’t believe she just said that. Like seriously? What did she actually wanted actually wanted to even say? To remind him of their deep hot kiss like how her friends persuaded her to?
Newton turned to face her. He squeezed his face seconds later after seeing Samantha mute. Instead of telling him, She imagined it. She couldn’t hold the smile on her face.
Afterwards, Brad came in busy with his phone. He was playing a game and he seemed immersed in it.
“What’s wrong with you?” Newton frowned leaving her as he walked towards his bathroom. He opened the door and went in. He locked it immediately.
Samantha frowned and rushed to Brad . “Hey Brad? He went into his home again?” Samantha whispered
“Yeah. His second home!. But has he told you why he h@të distractions while in the bathroom? Why he loves the bathroom? Why he’s obsessed when he’s in the bathroom? Why he showers a lot? Why he doesn’t want disturbance in there?” Brad asked whispering as well.
“He hasn’t told me” She replied
“What? Seriously? Since then?” Brad asked
“Yes”
“Don’t worry he’s gonna tell you. Just get closer to him. That’s his deepest secret” Brad smiled.
“Hey? Sam!! Let’s go!” Blaze exclaimed.
Samantha nodded trying to get to his side.
Suddenly, Newton came out of the bathroom. He was washing his hair, since it seemed wet. He was wearing a simple shirt though it was a little soaked already.
He went to Samantha and held her left arm.
“You said you wanted to tell me something? What’s that?” He asked
“Huh? What’s this? Sam.. Let’s go” Blaze said holding onto her right arm. He tried pulling her but Newton held her other arm with force.
“Hey? Newton.. Let him go. He’s coming with me” Blaze snapped sharply.
“Wh@tëver… Samuel, You said you wanted to tell me something?” He said again.
“What?” Samantha whispered
“I wanna hear it now” Newton firmly responded.
His inner self didn’t want Samantha to go with Blaze. He wanted her by his side that day. He didn’t notice he was getting jealous.~~ But why? Why Samantha? What’s wrong with me? Anyways.. I’m gonna do what my mind says!~~
“No… He’s is coming with me! Let’s go!” Blaze objected
“Sam.. Come with me. Tell me what you’ve got to say? I’m gonna hear it” Newton said as both of them tightly held her arms while Samantha kept looking left and right confusedly.
Meanwhile, Brad stared with his mouth opened agape. His first question that ran on his shocked mind was “How the hell Newton leave the BATHROOM because of Samantha ??”
