If You Met Me First...
Hugo Figured To Know

Hugo Melker's House

Hugo packed all his wife's belongings into a lot of dus and for some reason he did not want all Salsabila goods until the small things like hairpins or crunchy. Everything he put in a box and plans to donate to the shelter or some he threw away.

Hearing even seeing his own wife cheating, made him feel the hatred that was in his heart. Hugo then asked his manager and assistant to take care of all the boxes.

"Hugo, is it really clean? No other relic from Bila?" ask Larry, his manager for the past three years.

"Only jewelry that I want to check into my subscription gold shop because I suspect it must have been exchanged when to imitation." replied Hugo while checking his wife's finances. Since last year, Hugo was busy with making his novel trilogy so he ignored Salsabila a little.

It turned out to be fatal ! Hugo began to browse all of Salsabila's bank data because Hugo still wanted to know used for anything. Hugo doesn't care if the money goes to his mother or buys things he likes but he can't forgive for drugs.

"Larry.." call Hugo to his manager who is inventorying the boxes.

"What Hugo?" Larry approached the novelist.

"What club is this?" hugo asked pointing to the club's name and the two saw almost every Sunday in the last six months Salsabila was there and spent an average of $2,000 once.

"Let me search" Larry said, looking on his phone. "Sugo..."

"Hhhmmm." said Hugo while still checking his wife's expenses.

"That strip club*tease ... The attractors of men..."

Hugo looked towards Larry. "What?"

"Exotic dance club, undress, show off body ..."

"I know what a strip club is*tease! But what do you do when you're there?" cut Hugo while checking all Salsabila credit and debit card transaction dates. "Larry, check these dates."

"You suspect something Hugo?"

"It looks like Bla left when I wasn't home."

Larry then cross-checked all those dates with Hugo's schedule to go and book a tour around America. "Hugo, when you go around and remember he doesn't want to come ? Choose work? Apparently there's an agenda of its own..."

"So these dates coincide when we ... I'm leaving New York?" ask Hugo.

"Yup. Look, this date is when we're scheduled to California from San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose, Sacramento to San Francisco. Remember Hugo, we're almost two weeks there and if we've been to this club four times." Larry shows Hugo's schedule that coincides with the date stated on Salsabila's bank transaction account.

"It's when we were in Texas, when we were in Alabama." Larry continued. "In the last six months, you've been very, very busy with Hugo. Rarely in New York..."

Hugo matched the agenda on Larry's phone and on his iMac screen. "Astaghfirullah's..."

"Hugo, Salsabila betrayed you." said Larry who accidentally saw the photos that have been enlarged by him based on photos from Thea. "It... That's Jovan Malkovich, right?"

Hugo looked towards Larry. "Yup. I suspect Malkovich is behind all this."

"Larry, he just seemed to be hit by the wreckage of the building hit by the bazooka but whether it's dead or not, we don't know."

"Especially at that time you were seriously injured and when I returned to the location, many bodies were roasted and could not be recognized anymore" continued Larry. "But what does Jovan Malkovich have to do with Salsabila?"

"That's I want to know. My ex-mother-in-law should know about her son who he's related to. I'm sure, they must have some unfinished past story..." Hugo stared furiously at the photo of Salsabila chatting with Jovan Malkovich.

"Why did the United States government not arrest Jovan Malkovich? He's one of the war criminals and the mafia." murmured Larry.

"I don't know..." Hugo rubbed his face. "I've got a tour schedule again, isn't Larry?"

"The publisher and editor give you two months of mourning, especially if you still have to concentrate with the authorities. So all the events were cancelled and postponed three months later. We've got a blank schedule, Hugo. How's it?"

"We investigate ourselves? I know we're wrong but it's for my pride and to show that I'm innocent!" hugo said with a loud tone.

"Hugo, did your CCTV just die when we had an event in Manhattan? What, when we go out of town, we die too?" chirps Larry suddenly remember the words of detective Carissi who told him that every Hugo there is an event in New York, must be the CCTV of the house extinguished.

Hugo checks his home's CCTV cloud and matches the dates of his book tour. "No Larry, not dead. For this time Salsabila is quite smart because of course I will not go home quickly, different if I am in New York. Surely I can go home quickly and I'm a person who rarely checks the CCTV..."

"Saking you trust him to when" Larry said.

"I trusted Billa" Hugo repeated.

"Hugo, where are we going? What if the NYPD hears? What if your beautiful lawyer finds out?" Larry looked at Hugo seriously.

"Don't let the NYPD and Thea Ramadhan know who this man is ! We start at the club where Bila's going."

"But Hugo, your face is well known ..."

"I didn't come in, but you ! Find information, how to..." Hugo looked at Larry seriously.

"Although I have to disguise myself as an exotic dancer?"

"Although you have to disguise yourself as an exotic dancer. Your stomach is checkered, your body is also good, plus a tattoo on the arm... Less what attracts him?" hugo's Smirk.

Larry looked at Judes to Hugo. "Brengseeekkk you !"
