" Dennise where have you been? Nicole said you weren't going to your duties these past few days. What's wrong Den?" Arlene asked.

"Mom. Yung Girlfriend ko" Dennise was teary eyed.

"What Den?! You got yourself a Girlfriend." Mike exaggerately said.

"Hey Mike. Calm Down. Let Dennise explain."

"Yes Dad. Im madly inlove with Alyssa. Please? Just let me rest" Dennise burst out to tears.

"You mean Valdez?" Mike said.

"Yes dad." Dennise bowed her head.

"What happened between you? Why are you crying?" Arlene said and rubbed Den's back.

"Mom. She's behind the bars." She said while tears falling down .

"What the hell. Illegal Racer talaga yun. Den. What comes into your head to  fall for that kind of person!!" Her Dad said. Dennise just cried.

"Mike Calm down! Diba we gave our kids freedom to follow their hearts!" Arlene grumpily said.

"Yes sweety! But im not gonna let Dennise na mapunta sa ganong klase ng tao. A Criminal. Oh Honey. No way in hell i will give my Dennise to her"

"Mike! Shut up okay. You don't know her okay! Stop judging Den's lover. Oh my God mike. Youre just making the situation complicated!"

"Mom, Alyssa is innocent. I might only know her for almost a year but believe me Mom. She's really a a good hearted person" Dennise murmured while crying.

"Hush now my dear." Arlene comforted her Daughter.

"Let the justice system prove her innocence." Mike said and left.

"Oyyy. Alyssa!" Sigaw ni Shawn.

"Hey" alyssa coldly greeted him. Alyss knew he's one of LA's friend.

"Haha Yabang mo parin kahit nakakulong kana. May ipinagmamalaki ka pa ba?" Shawn obviously making her blood boil.

"Alam mo shawn. Di kana nga magaling sa racing. Napaka walang kwenta mo pa kasi para kang bata na putak ng putak wala namang kwenta mga pinagsasabi" agad na kwinelyuhan sya ni Shawn.

"Aba Putangina mo ah!" Agad nanagrumblelan sa loob ng kainan mg mga preso. Marami ang nakasali since magkakahalo ang lahat ng babae at lalaking preso.

*prrrrt*

"Umayos kayo!" Galit na sigaw ng Jail Guard.

"Hayan! Ayan ang pasimuno!" Shawn said.

"Coming from you ha!" Alyssa said and smirked.

Agad syang susugurin ni Shawn ng piitin ito ng jail guard.

"See? Ako pa ba ang magsisimula ng away. You saw his attitude" Alyssa calmly said.

"Gonzales! Ikaw ang nagsimula nanaman ng kagaguhan dito" agad na hinaltak ng Jail Guard si Shawn.

"Tangina Valdez! May araw ka rin!" Galit na sigaw ni Shawn.

"Oy. Ikaw hindi ka pwede pa ingles ingles dito ha! Nakakadugo!" Sigaw naman ng Jail Guard kay Alyssa.

Agad na umupo si Alyssa at tumingin ang isang pulis sa kanya. Babaeng pulis.

The policewoman smiled at Alyssa. Alyssa just shift her gaze.

"Judge Gaston. Someone is looking for you" His secretary said.

"Come in" Judge Gaston said. He continued writing his document for Alyssa's next hearing.

"Hello Judge Emmanuel Gaston!"  LA said while slowly applauding.

" i guess youre going to give her freedom" LA added.

"Why not LA? Hahaha she's innocent after all. She doesnt deserve this." Judge Gaston innocently said.

"You will not make her happy with my Dennise." LA sternly said.

"Oh LA. You cannot stop me. Saka what brought you here. Mas lumalabas lalo na guilty ka."

"This or Alyssa?" LA pointed to the Video he was holding.

"Oh LA. No" Judge Gaston was stunned with what LA just showed to him.

"I will post it on public. So that your Wife and your Daughters will see how the Father of their family is a big bullshit" LA said. As of Judge Gaston. He's still coping up on what he saw.

"Take it or Leave it. Dont you dare put up case with me. You know? I can ruin your life in just a second." LA smiled showing his Gums.

"Good bye Judge Gaston. Be wise"

Judge Gaston just put his Palm on his Face. He's really thorn between Letting Alyssa free and Saving his Family.

Nakaposas, Balisa at Kinakabahan. Ang nararamdaman ni Alyssa para sa huling pagkakataon nya para isalba ang sarili sa kasalanang hindi nya ginawa.

Sana at malusutan nya ang problemang ito. Dahil gusto pa nyang tuparin ang mga pangarap nya. Para sa kanyang Pamilya at kay Dennise.

"Mananalo ka alam ko" the policewoman sweetly smiled at alyssa.

Si Alyssa naman can feel akwardness between them.

"Uhm Thank you...?" Alyssa shyly said.

"Rachel Anne Daquis. PO2."

"Salamat"

Rach just rubbed her back.

-

Dahan dahang pumasok si Dennise sa hukuman kasama ang ina ni Alyssa.  Kagaya ng nararamdaman ni Alyssa ay ganon din kabigat ang kanyang dinadala. Ito na ang huling pagkakataon para maisalba nya si Alysaa.

"Naririto tayo ngayon upang bigyan ng hatol ang nasasakdal, Alyssa Valdez."

"Judge Gaston." Judge Gaston was really hesitated. It was really visible in his eyes.

"You can all sitdown."

"To the both party. Thank you for defending. Pero we all know na one will always win. Only one." He said. Alyssa's heart was beating rapidly.

"By the evidences given."

"You Alyssa found..." Sweat running down on Alyssa's foreheard.

"Guilty..." with just a single word. Alyssa's world crashed. A tear fell from her eye.

"No. No please" Dennise silently prayed.

"Lord. No. Wake me up if this was a dream" she silently said.

"Dennise?" She saw Phablita was having hard time.

"My Daughter is innocent! Let her live her life!!" Phablita screamed top of her lungs.

"Excuse me!" Rachel said while prtoecting Alyssa.

Alyssa was still confused, stunned and cant believe what just really happen. She just took her final internship in San Diego. Then she's here. Seeking for justice.

"Love" she mouthed to Dennise. Dennise heart shattered into pieces. She cried. Until Alyssa was gone in her sight.
