"What is he doing here?" nagtataka kong tanong sa mga kasama ko nang makita ko si daddy na naglalakad papasok ngayon dito sa restaurant na kinaroroonan namin, sa unang pagkakataon walang Chanel Velazco na nakabuntot sa kanya.

"This is a family dinner sweetie, he's your father," my mom responds.

"I know mom but Mighty Deev told me he's not gonna make it tonight," I scowl and stand up.

"Nandito ka na, Ezra. Don't think about leaving us here," Cash pulls me back on my seat, I look up to Mighty Deev and glare at her. Alam niyang hindi pa ako handang kausapin si dad, nagdedesisyon na naman siyang mag-isa.

"Hanggang ngayon hindi pa kilala kung sino'ng pumatay kay Davies?" pag-uusisa ni Cash kay Dad, sa buong oras na nilagi namin dito kalahati no'n ay sina Davies at Brent ang diskurso.

"Maraming sumabit na pangalan, even your sister's name was involved throughout the investigation," dad answers, his harsh eyes affixed on me. "The killer is being highly suspected a woman, an evil genius who can outsmart the authorities at every turn and twist."

"His death was really tragic and it's literally gaining an over-abundance of attention because of his prominent name. What logical basis did they have to believe the killer is a woman, Dad?" si Mighty Deev naman ang nagtanong.

"The crime was well-planned, the cctv's were shutdown and the pattern of the murder is too obvious to say the killer is a woman. Davies was stabbed on his own bed, naked, unused condoms were also found at the crime scene. With the number of stabs, malaki ang galit ng gumawa no'n sa kanya."

Dad stares back at me, "Kakilala ni Davies ang killer, according to the details of his house that night, a dinner table was perfectly set up for two people: it was arranged with red roses, violet and blue tulips, tall candles and two flutes of red wine."

Cash nudges my arm, I reach for my glass of water and empty it, "Makikipagkita ka dapat sa kanya that night in his rest house hindi ba? What's going on lately? As far as I know you hate dealing with that guy."

"Sebaztian visited our house twice before the crime, gustong-gusto niyang makausap si Ezra pero nagkataon naman kasing hindi niya nadadatnan ," singit ni mommy.

"Nanliligaw ba ulit 'yon sa 'yo?"

"Watch your mouth, Cash!" nandidiring asik ko, tinapakan ko pa ang paa niyang naka-heels, ginantihan niya ako pero 'di masyadong masakit kasi makapal suot kong knee-high boots ngayon.

"I know why you agreed to meet him."

Natigil ako sa pagnguya dahil sa sinabing iyon ni dad.

"Dad," was all I said, with no plan of entertaining him.

Mighty Deev changed the subject to Brent Laczamana's murder case again, which all of them debated for a few minutes until dad spoke up and told them to depart after our dinner. Naiwan saglit si mommy para bigyan ng kalmadong sermon si daddy dahil sa dessert na in-order niya, diabetic kasi siya at bawal sa kanya ang mga matatamis na pagkain.
