After the incident...
Third Person's POV
It was already past midnight, and on their way to the police station, Haven has been in deep thought. She's wondering why he is at the club knowing that it is not allowed. Isa pang palaisipan para sa kanya ay and kung ano and nangyari sa club na iyon. Bakit ganun na lang ang reaksyon ni Nadia.
As far as their friendship goes, Haven knew to herself that Nadia has always had a strong mind. She does not get afraid easily which is why she was shocked to hear and see Nadia in that state, terrified and lost for words.
While Nadia on the other hand cannot seem to accept the fact that this thing happened to her. She always thought to herself that she was just a normal girl. Kaya lubos ang pagtataka niya sa kung bakit at sino ang may gustong patayin siya. Idagdag pa ang lalaking tumulong sa kanya makaligtas sa kung sino man ang gustong pumatay sa kanya.
After everything that has happened, she's feeling tired but her mind does not cooperate. She has so many thoughts going on her mind. She feels unsafe despite the fact that she's with the police.
Napapaisip din siya sa kung paano niya sasabihin ang lahat ng ito sa nanay niya, na sana ay hindi kailangang tawagan ito.
Her thoughts were cut off when the police car stopped. They are already outside the police station. She looked at the police who went out of the car and opened the door for her, she then went out. Looking around the place, Haven caught Nadia's gaze.
Haven walked towards Nadia and hugged her. She whispered to Nadia that everything will be alright.
Pinaghiwalay sila ng pulis at nagtanong, "Who is she?"
"She's my friend," Nadia answered.
Tumango na lang ang pulis at sinabing sundan sila papasok sa presinto. Nang makapasok, pinaupo si Nadia sa tapat ng pulis na magtatanong sa kanya sa nangyare sa club, habang si Haven ay naghihintay sa labas.
"What's your name?" The police asked.
"Nadia Megara M. Petrova," Nadia answered.
"Why are you at the club?" asked the police.
"I am the manager of the Nocturnal Club." Nadia again answered.
"What is the exact time you opened the club?"
"It was around 10 PM."
"Since you are the manager, do you know who threw the party?"
"The name's Trina Grey," walang pag-aalinlangang sagot ni Nadia.
"How many people are there? Is it an open party?" asked the police.
"I do not know, yes it is an open party."
"Where were you when the crime happened?"
"I was at the stock room when I heard the gunshots, I did not really know that someone died. Then I went out and went to the VIP room as it is the safest place at the club," she answered.
"Is there someone inside the VIP room? Did you not encounter anything on your way to the VIP room?" the police asked again.
"Actually when I was at the door of the VIP room, there was a green laser pointed at my forehead. Then someone pulled me from the back, it was a man based on his voice, though I did not see his face because he told me to run to the exit and so I did." Nadia answered.
"Did you see the one who shoot you?"
"No, I did not."
"Can we have a check on the club's surveillance camera?" saad ng pulis.
"I don't know, you should ask permission first from the owner." sagot ni Nadia.
"How can we contact the owner?"
"I have her phone number. I'll call her now."
Nadia stood up and called the owner.
"Hello? How's it going, Nadia?" she answered.
"Hello, Ms. Keina."
Keina's POV
I was at my company signing some papers. I'm so tired, maghapon na akong pumipirma ng papeles. I did not even eat my dinner yet and it's already midnight. I stroked my long black hair in frustration.
Right when I was ranting in my head, my phone rang. It was a message from my cousin.
New Message Received
Today 12:57
Hoy Kei, kailan ka ulit pupunta dito?
Aish, this girl is really excited about everything, her name really suits her. She lives in the province so it's a bit far from the city. So I told her that I am quite busy at the moment and maybe after two weeks I could go there. She always talks about her long-time crush whenever we're together, though she is fun to be with.
I am almost done signing the papers. I swear after this stressful week, I would go somewhere to chill and live my life. I'm feeling old because of this too much work when in fact I'm only twenty years old.
Right after signing the last paper, my phone rang. It's Nadia, the manager of my club, calling.
"Hello? How's it going, Nadia?" I answered.
"Hello, Ms. Keina," Nadia said. It was unusual for Nadia to call. Usually, when there is a problem at the club she manages it so well. Did something happen?
"It's very unusual that you called. What's up? Did something happened at the club?" I asked.
"Yes, Miss something happened. I'll explain everything later. Please come here to the police station." Nadia answered.
"What? Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes." I said as I hurriedly grabbed my bag. I went outside of my office and told my assistant to call my driver and ready my car and that she can also go home already.
While taking the elevator to go to the lobby area, I am in deep thoughts. I hope what happened was not that bad and that no one was hurt. I really should have hired more guards for the club to ensure the safety of the club.
The elevator opened to the lobby area so I ran outside and rushed to my driver. I thanked him and went inside my car and drove away.
When I reached the police station, I went out of my car and saw someone standing at the entrance holding a cat, she seems a bit anxious. Dali-dali akong tumakbo papasok sa loob ng presinto at nang makapasok ay hinanap ng mata ko si Nadia. Nakita ko siyang nakaupo sa harap ng lamesa ng isang pulis.
I walked towards her and hugged her. "Are you okay? Did something happen to you? Nagkagulo na naman ba a club?" I asked her.
Before Nadia could answer, the police butted in and said, "Hello Maam, please take a seat first."
I took a seat and faced them, waiting for them to tell me what happened. Nadia looked at the police as if signaling him that she will be the one who'll tell me what has occurred. The police nodded and Nadia told me everything that has happened.
I was shocked, damn I really should have hired more guards for the safety of everyone. Never have I ever imagined that something like this would happen. It is frightening to know that my safe haven has become a crime scene. I'm very disappointed in myself.
"I am so sorry for what has happened Nadia, I should have prioritized your safety too. Does your mother know about this already?" I asked.
"No, hindi ko pa nasasabi. Please do not tell her just yet." She answered and I nodded.
The police then asked for my permission about investigating the club and taking a look at the CCTV as there might be some evidence that may be seen there. I agreed so that the case can be closed as soon as possible and that the suspect will be caught.

Third Person's POV
Pumunta ang mga pulis kasama si Keina sa club para kunin ang CCTV footage na naroon upang makakuha ng lead sa krimen na nangyari. Nang makabalik sila sa presinto, sama-samang pinanood ng mga pulis, ni Keina, Nadia, at Haven ang clip.
The girls were shocked by what they have seen. There was a girl lying down on the floor and what shook them is that the girl was actually Nadia's sister. Nadia then burst into tears, blaming herself for what has happened. Dumagdag pa ito sa kanyang isipin lalo na at hindi niya alam kung paano sasabihin ito sa nanay niya.
While Haven was shocked as she saw him beside the victim, holding a gun. Those who are seeing the video may interpret that the guy beside the victim is the suspect. Haven became confused because of that as she knows the guy.
The police immediately took the picture of the guy and planned to search for him as he is the main suspect of the crime. After that, the police approached Nadia and told her, "Mam, I would like to advise you to go somewhere else and hide as you are currently in danger. We are the ones who will tell everything that has happened to your mother."
Nadia agreed. Sinabi ni Keina na doon na lang sa bahay niya muna sila matulog para mas ligtas sila kung sundan man sila ng suspect at sa umaga na lamang nila pagplanuhan ang mga gagawin. Sumang-ayon ang dalawa at pumunta na sila sa bahay ni Keina.

Kinaumagahan...
Haven woke up early as she was very bothered by what they have found out. She quickly grabbed her phone and contacted the guy who is the primary suspect in the death of Nadia's sister. The guy answered the call.
"Hello, Killian?"
