"That is all your fault! You killed him. He was the only one I have and your words took his life. So, I did all of this! I killed Franchesca, your one great love. I killed her like you killed my dad, our dad. I took her life and love like the policemen did to my father and it's all because of you and framed up your best friend. Are you hurt?" Atty. Nicdao cried out loud, he's wiping his tears using his suit's sleeve like a child and almost fell down on the floor seeing how miserable his whole life is, when he lost his dad.
Atty. Galiego hugged his brother and apologized to him. "I'm so sorry brother. But I'm not the one who killed our father. I didn't know. Please forgive me. I treated you like my own brother even if I didn't know you are my real brother," he told Atty. Nicdao.
"I took law to give the justice that our father deserves. Those policemen who killed him brutally, until now my heart breaks into pieces because of the justice I can't give him. I thought I'll be fine if I'll kill Franchesca, your one great love," stated Atty. Nicdao.
"When I saw Mr. Jones so happy with Franchesca, I let her go and forget her and yes, I did. Mr. Jones and Franchesca love each other that's why they got married. Why did you kill our best friend's wife?" replied Atty. Galiego.
"I don't know. I really don't. I was just about to stop her because she will reveal our secrets on her husband. I don't know what to do. I really don't want to kill the mother of my son, Franz. I got jealous after knowing she's pregnant with our best friend," Mr. Jones.
Adam and Hannah looked at each other. Their conclusion about the relationship of the kid to Franchesca and Atty. Nicdao are perfectly right.
"That kid? Franchesca's nephew, is your son? I mean, Franchesca is the mother of your son, Franz?" Atty. Galiego uttered and meanwhile startled because of what he heard from Atty. Nicdao.
"I guess these are all misunderstandings but Atty. Nicdao killed Franchesca he needs to be in jail," Vhiann said.
"If I will be put in jail, how can I give my father's death justice?" Atty. Nicdao exclaimed. "How about my son? Who will take care of him?" he said in a worried tone."I am here. I am your brother. I am our father's son. I will continue what you had started. I will. I promised," he said while crying.
"I am so sorry brother. It was all my fault. I didn't know that he's just trying to save me, I was just a kid that time. I really don't. I will find who killed our dad. The notorious killer will be put in jail soon," Atty. Galiego promised to his brother.
"I will take care of your son, Franz. I will take care of him like my own son. Where is he by the way?" Atty. Galiego asked him curiously.
"My son is at my house. He's alone there now. For sure he was so scared at this moment. His dad is not beside him while he's sleeping," Atty. Nicdao said. "Please, I'm begging you take him with you and take care of him."
Please let me and Hannah go with you to get your son in your house, Adam and Hannah insisted. Dave, do you know Atty. Nicdao's house? You stayed there, right?" Adam asked Dave.
"These four persons with me don't know about my son. They never seen him. He's at the room where I prohibited them to enter. When I started handling her mom's case, I told him not to go outside his room and wait for me always. Franz is really obedient," he discussed.
"Aha! We observed that you are hiding something on the room. We saw you entered the room at 8pm we waited a long time for you to come out. We are sure that we never saw you get out of the room that's why we are all shocked when you called us for breakfast wondering how come we didn't see you pass on us? How come you reached the dining area without passing our faces," Dave explained then curiously asked.
"Then, you told us that you didn't enter the room the evening, after the we felt different like someone is watching us in the house. It's terrifying! OMG!" Kesiah discussed.
"We tried to enter the room when you left it open when you go outside and you said you are going to the mall to buy something, Kiarra uttered.
I was so scared. It feels like someone is inside the room and while we are searching for something, I felt someone runs behind my back but when I looked back there's nothing at my back," Kesiah described.
"I asked them if Dave threw the ball that's why it hits my head but he told me he didn't throw the ball, Terrence said. I find it weird and creepy knowing that we are just four inside the room that moment," he added.
"I shouted when the cabinet doors opened on its own. I covered my face to not see who did that," Kiarra enacted.
"Someone pulled my shirt near the bed. I tried to look under the bed but no one is there. I asked Terrence if he did that but he denied it," Dave uttered and put his two hands on his pants' pocket.
"There are ghosts in your house attorney, the four shouted with fear. So creepy!" They covered their faces and didn't utter any words.
"From that day, you decided not to enter in that room because of what you had experienced inside that room?" Atty. Nicdao asked them.
"Your house is a shelter of bad spirits and ghost attorney didn't you notice that?" Kiarra uttered.
