THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 96. KEEP IN CHECK
MONICA’S POVI spent two good days in the police’s detention before Marcus could come for me. He was away on a business trip to another country and immediately he heard of my predicament from his secretary, he took the next available flight back to Lisbon without hesitation.“You have now been granted a bail but note that the rules attached are that you cannot leave the country without permission until your case has been sorted out. You are to respond to every summons as swift as possible. Failure to abide by all these rules will make you qualified for immediate arrest without a warrant so make sure to keep to them” the police officer listed to me as he brought me the bail form where I was in the detention room“I know all that. You don’t need to spit all over me so pass me the paper” I spat out and reached for the form“You can sign here” the police officer said, ignoring what I had said to him“Who came for me? The lawyers?” I asked as I signed the form and Marcus came into the room

I couldn’t think about the next thing to say when I heard Pamela saying she didn’t know where she kept everything I had sent her.“How could you say that? I mean, I kept them in your possession because they were classic information that I didn’t want to be careless with. Now what do we do? I don’t even have any copy left with me anywhere” I subtly scolded her, trying my best not to raise my voiceShe kept mute the whole time and sat there gently till I was done before standing up to move closer to me.“I am sorry that I couldn’t keep them well. I changed my phone sometimes ago and just told them to wipe off everything before I remembered that you kept some files with me. It wasn’t intentional so I hope you will not be annoyed. Also, I will try to see if I can get the phone and recover the files so give me some time” she responded calmly with a sober tone and I was forced to calm down at the end of the day.It’s not like I could hit her or sue her over something like that and she alrea

“We were both living in France, stuck with our abusive and alcoholic father who would beat us, throw us out of the house to earn money, take the hard earned money and exhaust it on alcohol. One evening, he gave Gabriel a hellish beating that almost claimed his life because he stood up to him and refused to let go of the money. I had to rush him to the hospital in the middle of the night but there was no taxi or car anywhere. I carried him on my back barefooted and ran all the way to the hospital before a car suddenly parked in front of me and it turned out to be Stanley. He offered me a ride and I was able to save him. When he recovered, he gave me the option of saving me or going back home and we decided to pick his salvation” Michael explained and I could feel tears forming in my eyes.“What was his salvation? He brought him to justice?” I asked further, getting invested in the story as my reporter’s instinct kicked in immediately“He wanted to do that but we begged him to leave our

MONICA’S POVEven though I told her not to worry about whatever it is they had planned to say at the meeting, I was still scared of what the outcome would be. I just came out from the police’s detention and I haven’t had the time to put together evidences that would prove that I wasn’t the criminal they all thought I was.All those tensions couldn’t make me concentrate anymore so I decided to visit my dead mother’s abandoned office. I told them to leave it as it was but make sure to clean it from time to time because I would love to visit there occasionally and it was the right time to make that visit I haven’t made for ages.“As usual, it always feel so warm here” I muttered and sat on her chair, looking around the office.“Mom, what do I do? I don’t think I can hold on for long. Nothing seems to be working, I am just trying to hold it together and not break down but how long can I stand? It’s getting tiresome” I poured out as I stared from one edge of the wall to the other.With a t

I feel like I will soon explode if you don’t come sooner, this is getting unbearable” Bea whined over the phoneI giggled at her statement “Don’t worry my baby, I will be back soon so try your best not to explode at anyone.

I pretended as if I didn’t understand her stare and she was forced to ask at the end of the day, which I replied to without hesitation.“Well, that’s good. It’s nice meeting you” she said to me and extended her hand for a shake “I’m Laura, one of the sponsors for the orphanage” I took her hand and the smile on my face slowly faded as I said “Finally, I got to meet you” Her brows curved up in confusion as she asked “Do you know me?” A short moment of silence ensued between us as we both stared at each other, our eyes and hands locked together.Finally, I broke the silence and

She was always talking about how she wanted to introduce me to a new friend she got and also things she had been up to. She had never had any course to disturb me ever since I left home.
