★(BLACK VALENTINE)★
MONA HOSPITALS**
Agnes woke up from her slumber with wide eyes and sweaty face, she actually dozed off beside Sugar.
“Are you ok?” Lovelyn asked.
“I just had a dream, a bad scary one” she replied, more sweat forming on her face.
“Dream?” Lovelyn said and when Agnes remembered Juliet, she rushed out of the ward and ran to Gina’s ward.
Luckily, she found Juliet there.
She inhaled in relief and walked in.
“Agnes” Naomi said and Juliet faced her too.
“How’s Sugar doing?” Naomi asked.
“He’s perfectly responding to treatment” Agnes sighed and Juliet’s phone beeped.
She checked and saw a message from Justus.
*BRING ME THE br@CELET, RIGHT NOW*
“I still have the br@celet?” She said and checked her bag.
The br@celet is in there.
Agnes’s eyes wide-ned, same br@celet.
“What?” Naomi asked.
“Wait a minute” Juliet replied and dialled Justus line.
“I can’t go around right now, I nee-d to stay with mum” she said.
“I nee-d it right now, like now” he replied and hung up.
Juliet sighed.
“He told you he nee-ds this br@celet right now?” Agnes asked and Juliet faced her swiftly.
“How did you…
Agnes snatched the br@celet from her.
“I’ll go give it to him , Justus right?” She smiled and rushed out of the ward.
“I never knew I have the gift of dreams, wow! Should I go into shamanism?” She smiled as she got in her car in front of the hospital.
She drove to Justus place and when she got there, she looked at the br@celet again.
“Never knew the monster in him has grown more wicked” she said and got down.
She rang the doorbell and Justus opened the door.
It’s obvious he looks shocked cos he wasn’t expecting her to be the one to bring it.
“Agnes?”
“What?, Are you annoyed that I made your sedated handkerchief useless?” She smiled and he folded the handkerchief secretly behind him.
She stepped closer.
“You’re becoming a monster, it’s a gradual process” she said to his face and threw the br@celet at him.
She walked to her car and faced him when she opened the door
“Stay away from Juliet, she only belongs to my Romeo” she said and drove away.
Justus slammed the door shut and hit his palm on the wall.
“Darn!”

NEXT MORNING≈ AREA POLICE STATION
“Go on” Swan said to Merritt when they got to the front of the commissioner’s office.
“Really?” Merritt replied.
“Go in already” Kyle and Swan pushed her in and she found herself in front of the commissioner.
“Sir!” She stood attention.
He looked up and smiled.
“I’m proud of you Merritt Barrington” he said and she blinked.
“The people loves you, we nee-d you here, to stay” he said.
“Me?” Merritt said, not believing her ears.
“Yes, the real results of all the exams you’ve been taking has just been revealed from where Chief Barrington kept them, you should have joined us since long ago if not for his mischievous acts” he said and Merritt’s eyes became big.
“What!”.
“You’re overly qualified, welcome to the field, detective Merritt Barrington” he said and she fell on a chair in front of him but she quickly stood.
“This is surely a dream, wake up wake up!” She slapped herself but she still found herself standing in front of him.
“Welcome to the field, detective Merritt Barrington” he said again.
“I’m not dreaming!” She jumped and he shifted a letter to her side of the table.
She took it and opened it, it’s from the general headquarters.
She’s officially a detective right now.
She covered her mouth with her palms.
“Welcome once again” the commissioner said.
She stood attention again and bowed before leaving the office.
“How was it?” Swan suddenly asked.
“Here!” She showed her the letter and Swan hu-gged her quickly.
“I’m so happy for you Merritt!”
She gave Kyle a light hu-g too and rushed out of the station.
Reid is waiting there.
“Sweetheart!!!!” She screamed, running to him.
She Jumped into his arms and he turned around like that.
“Guess what!”
“Detective Merritt?” He replied and she showed him the letter.
“I’m so happy” he said.
“Finally, my dreams!” She ki-ssed the letter.
“Congrats starlight” he smiled.
She ki-ssed him lightly.
“Thanks sweetheart”
“First princess to become a detective” he said and she laughed before hu-gging him.
“I’m glad you turned out to be Swift Angel” he said and she broke the hu-g.
“I’m glad you’re not mad at me”
“Why would I be mad at you, you saved the whole Mexico baby” he smiled and pec-ked her cheeks.
“I love you” she smiled.
“I love you” he replied and they hu-gged again.
“Should we start our lovey dovey too?” Kyle asked Swan and a de-ep blus-h appeared on her cheeks immediately.
She quickly covered her cheeks and ran into the station.
“Hottie” he smiled and followed her.
Merritt’s phone suddenly rang and Reid dropped her so she could pick.
It’s Juliet.
“Mum is awake!!!!” She screamed.
“OMG!!!!”

MONA HOSPITALS≈ 10:30AM
Merritt rushed into Gina’s ward and truthfully, she’s awake though she’s still lying on the bed.
“Mummy Gina!!” She screamed, rushing to hu-g her on the bed.
“Where did you go br@t?” Gina smiled.
“I love you so much mummy Gina, thanks for coming back to us, I love you!” Merritt started ki-ssing her face round and Gina kept smiling.
Juliet is on her other side with Naomi.
“I’m going nowhere, but where were you?” Gina smiled and Merritt brou-ght out the letter.
“Call me detective Merritt from now on” she said proudly.
“Bestie!!!” Juliet screamed, standing up to hu-g her.
They started dancing around and Romeo smiled.
She hu-gged Naomi too.
“I’m so glad” Naomi smiled.
“I hope you’ll be able to chase your dreams too, to become a writer like Romeo” Merritt smiled as they broke the hu-g.
Naomi ki-ssed her cheek and she smiled.
“Second son-in-law” Gina said to Reid and he came to her side.
“Welcome back to us ma’am” he smiled.
“I’m glad I met y’all Hale” she said.
“Sugar is awake!!” Ben rushed into the ward.
“Really?” Romeo and Juliet rushed out with him.
They got to Sugar’s ward and he’s really awake.
“Sugar!” Juliet rushed to him in bed.
His leg and head were still bandaged though.
“Am I really still alive?” He said weakly.
“Yes, welcome back” Juliet smiled.
He closed his eyes and opened it again.
“Where’s Agnes?” He asked when he noticed she’s not around.
“She left for Hong Kong early this morning” Romeo replied and Sugar coughed.
Naomi rushed into the ward immediately.
“Romeo you nee-d to see this” she pulled Romeo out of the ward and Juliet followed.
“What?” Romeo asked curiously.
She gave him her phone which has the news.
The plane flying to Hong Kong this morning crashed some minutes ago, killing everyone involved.
The phone fell from Romeo immediately.
“Agnes!”
“No it’s impossible” Juliet ran out of the hallway with him.
Romeo drove to the international airport and they rushed to the first attendant desk.
“Agnes Spencer, was she really among the perishers?, Was she?, Huh?” He asked at the brink of tears.
“Everyone in the plane perished sir, we’re so sorry” she replied and tears finally fell from Romeo’s eyes, likewise Juliet’s.
“No it can’t be, no!!!!” Romeo screamed loudly as he cried.
“Wait…. Agnes Spencer?” The attendant on the second desk said and Juliet faced her.
“No Agnes Spencer on the list of boarders this morning” she said, checking a list.
Romeo snatched the paper from him and scanned throu-gheverything but there’s really no Agnes Spencer in the list.
“What’s happening?” Juliet said, wiping the tears that’s about to fall from her eyes.
“If she was one of the boarders,her name should be here but it’s not, meaning she wasn’t one of them trust me” the lady replied.
Romeo got his phone and tried her line, her phone rang.
“It rang!” He said quickly.
“It did?” Juliet said .
“Yes,but she’s not picking” Romeo replied, inhaling afterwards.
“What do we do?, How do we find her?” Juliet said and Romeo’s phone beeped.
It’s a message.
They both checked it out and looked at each other.
They inhaled.

MICHELIN’S PLACE**
“Why do you think the tracker went off?” Swan asked as she came down from the car with Merritt and Kyle.
“Obviously because it broke, maybe I didn’t position it well, my mistake” Merritt replied.
The location beep from Spy suddenly started beeping when they made to restart the tracing of Spy so right now, Michelin is the only hope.
Merritt rang the doorbell and Michelin opened the door.
She’s in there with Justus.
“Cops?, Why are you guys here?” She asked.
“To ask a few questions miss Michelin Anderson” Swan replied as they came in.
There’s a bottle of wine on the table plus two cu-ps, they were obviously about to start drinking.
“Agnes Spencer is your cousin right?, She died in the crash too but you’re here to drink?” Kyle said.
“Are you here to interrogate me or her?” Justus replied and Merritt started looking around.
Swan brou-ght out Spy’s phone and Michelin tried ha-rd to act normal.
“The six fingered guy, miss Juliet Hayes kidnapper, turns out he called your line the most, your number is so common in his call history” she said.
“He’s a delivery man at a pizza shop, Michelin likes pizza so….” Justus replied.
“That was what I was about to say” Michelin replied quickly.
“Really?” Merritt said.
“What other explanation do you guys nee-d?” Michelin replied.
“Wanna see the pizza boxes?” Justus asked.
“Yes” Merritt replied.
“What!” Justus said.
“Kindly show us” Merritt said.
“And you expect her to keep them here?, Get them from the garbage site” Justus replied.
“Are you by any chance in a relationship with each other?” Kyle asked.
“No” they both replied at a time.
“We’re just close enough for me to know everything about her” Justus smiled.
“Name of the pizza shop?” Merritt asked.
“Cally pizzas” Justus replied.
“Thanks for your time” Swan said.
Michelin inhaled as they left the house.
“You nee-d to go down on your knees and thank me” Justus grinned, pouring the wine into the cu-ps.
“How did you come up with that lie?, They’ll surely visit the pizza shop!” Michelin said .
“I knew this would happen, when you told me a girl picked his call, I suspected it’s the Swift Angel, he once encountered her like you told me, I payed the owner of the shop already so no worries, you’re covered” Justus smiled.
“Wow!, You’re smart” Michelin smiled as they picked their wine cu-ps.
“Cheers to Agnes’s death” she smiled.
“To the havoc that’s coming” Justus smiled.
“Cheers!”

SUNDAY (VALENTINE’S DAY)≈ 7PM ~ MONA HOSPITALS
“When are you meeting with Romeo again?” Gina asked as Juliet lay beside her.
“7:30” she replied cheerfully.
“Then you should go now, you still have to prepare, don’t keep my son-in-law waiting” Gina replied and Juliet smiled.
“Mum”
“Yes baby” Gina replied.
“I’m happy” she said and Gina faced her.
“Why?”.
“I’ve always wished for a Valentine’s day when I’ll have a date, it’s finally here and it’s not just an ordinary date, it’s the man I love” she replied and Gina stro-ked her hair.
“I’m happy you found true love too, it’s my joy that you found your heart-throb, I hope for an everlasting love for you both, and I trust Romeo to do well till the end” she said and Juliet hu-gged her.
“I love you so much mum”
“I love you baby, you nee-d to go fast” Gina smiled and released her.
She got down from the bed.
“Will you be fine alone?” She asked.
“Trust me” Gina smiled.
“Check me out!” Naomi walked into the ward in a red strapless gown, showcasing her shapes.
Red heels and bag to match.
“OMG you look stunning!” Juliet gasped in admiration.
“You look absolutely gorgeous baby girl” Gina smiled and Naomi hu-gged her on the bed.
“I love you mummy!”
“I love you sweet, is di-ckson coming here to meet you?”
“Yes, I nee-d to go now” Naomi gave her a peck.
“Have a nice Valentine’s date!” Gina said loudly as she left the ward.
“Is Merritt not going out with Reid?”
“She’s staking out, the poor boy will have to spend the night alone” Juliet replied.
“There are still other nights to spend together though” Gina said.
“Sure, bye mum!, I love you!”
“I love you more!” Juliet ki-ssed her cheeks before leaving the ward.
She drove a taxi home and during the drive, she could already feel the love oozing from couples in restaurants and Val’s date sp-ots.
She smiled as she stared out of the window.
“Can’t wait to get to Romeo, what will he get for me?, Will tonight be another night of crippling?, Where is he taking me to?, I can’t wait!” She gushed happily.

ROMEO’S ISLAND**
Romeo checked himself out in the mirror for the third time after he finished dressing up.
Red is his favorite color and that’s why he’s mostly in red suit so it’s just red again tonight.
He tou-ched his hair and smiled again before adjusting his tie, then he got his phone and left the house.
“Agnes, that br@t!, Where is she hiding?” He said as he opened the front door and left the house
“Can’t wait to see Juliet, I hope he doesn’t faint when she sees my gift” he said as he walked to the car.
He got to his car and made to text Juliet when a text disrupted that.
It’s from Michelin.
*SEVEN YEARS AGO, THAT NIGHT AFTER AVRIL DUMPED YOU, YOU WOKE UP THE MORNING AFTER, FEELING WEIRD. WANNA KNOW WHY?…. YOU ra-peD ME THAT NIGHT*
Romeo’s heart skipped numerous beats at a time as he read the message over again.
“What’s… what’s she talking about?” He asked himself and dialled her line but she not picking.
Instead, she texted again.
*COME TO THE LOUNGE, YOU’LL KNOW THE REASON WHY I ALWAYS ASK YOU IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT*
Romeo’s body started shaking as he dialled her line again but it’s not available.
He threw his phone on the second seat and drove rou-ghly out of the island.

THE HAYES APARTMENT
Juliet pressed her li-ps on each other, disseminating the li-pstick on them before dropping the li-pstick itself.
It’s the last part of her makeup.
She checked herself out and no one nee-ds to tell her she looks hot in the white short gown, it’s slightly floral.
She got her golden coloured bag and left the house.
She locked the door but immediately she made to start walking, someone coughed.
“Justus?” She looked up to see him.
He smiled innocently as he walked to her.
“It’s been a while…. Juliet” he said, scanning her body with his eyes, wishing he could get down with her right now.
“I really nee-d to go now, Romeo is waiting” she replied and made to leave but he pulled her back.
“I just don’t want you to regret it, and that’s why I’m gonna say this, Romeo is a rapist” he said.
“What the Fu-ck are you saying!” She stepped away from him but he brou-ght out his phone immediately, showing her the video.
Juliet’s eyes wide-ned in their sockets as she watched Romeo stri-p Michelin for-cefully.
He to-re away her clothes and for-ced himself on her, she kept screaming but he didn’t stop till he did what he wanted.
Her bag landed on the ground and she covered her mouth with her palms so she wouldn’t scream as tears came out of her eyes.
“No…no it’s impossible, Romeo is not a rapist…. Romeo is….
“Michelin had a baby for him stop behaving dumb!” Justus shouted loudly.
“Wha… what… did you.. say” Juliet stuttered as more tears gushed out of her eyes.
