If You Met Me First...
Thea's Surprised

Thea Apartment in Manhattan New York

Hugo looked at his lawyer with a look of understanding and finally nodded. "Thea Sorry. I may be getting too carried away."

Thea smiled sweetly. "It's okay Mr. Melker. Good night and drive carefully."

"Thea Good Night." Hugo waits until Thea opens the door to his apartment and goes inside. The man also waited until the sound of the door being locked left Thea's apartment unit.

All the way back to his empty house, Hugo seemed to think about Thea's words while at the Russian restaurant.

"Sometimes we think too much and just look at the big picture to forget that a crime can start from small or trivial things in the eyes of others but for him, he said, it was a fatal mistake that prompted him to commit a crime" Thea said.

"Did Jovan Malkovich not kill Bila? Or did anyone else go in to be a killer when?" muttered Hugo. "But who and why?"

The man seemed riled up because he thought about the possibilities - the possible theories and arguments expressed by Thea earlier.

"We'll just wait for the results of the DNA test that the FBI is doing."

Thea patted her chest softly which felt her heart pounding from Hugo's attitude earlier.

"Duh Thea ... He's your client !" muttered Thea repeatedly to keep her mindset straight.

The girl went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to calm her heart. After that Thea went into her room to clean up and worship last night to the contest to rest.

Boston Massachusetts, O'Grady brewery

Apsarini seemed happy because tomorrow there is a three-day holiday and she has made up her mind about going on vacation to Maine.

"Happy to see" haley teased. "So to Maine tomorrow?"

"God so. I can't wait to take a vacation, recharge my batteries, make my mood good." Apsarini smiled towards Haley who was sitting next to her.

"Enjoyed, Sari. As long as we are single and there is no burden of life associated with a partner or child, enjoy it. Why not make yourself happy with your money? After all you work hard to please yourself and old age savings" said Haley.

"You're right. If we are already with someone else, then we will not be too free because we have to consider everything."

Haley nodded. "Have you booked the hotel?"

"It has. I purposely shaped the cottage to be truly private."

"Good for you Sari. Indeed our job is to make gray hair uninvited. Look ! There are two !" Haley shows two dumb gray hair in her Brunette.

"Living paint is gone" kekeh Apsarini.

"Later more and more. Never mind, only two stay I'm coloring wearing mascara ..."

Apsarini. "Seriously?"

Haley took the mascara from her bag and put a small mirror on her desk. The woman actually rubbed her gray hair using the mascara she always carried.

Apsarini gawked in disbelief that her office mate was actually doing just that. "Oh my God.." - The bill.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, for dragon ball" Apsarini chuckled her head.

Thea's room at the Blair and Blair Advocate Office in Manhattan, New York

Thea was still taking care of the other case when she heard a knock on the door. The girl raised her face and saw her sister-in-law coming.

"Bang Omar ! Come on in" said Thea kindly. "Cocontainly alone? Where's Billy bang?"

"Billy had his case business before." Omar Zidane sits in the front seat of Thea's desk. "Thea, can you ask me a little?"

"Many can also bang."

Omar smiled. "What's your theory about the Salsabila Melker case?"

"According to me?" Thea looked at Nadya Blair's confused husband. "Well, did the DNA test result come out?"

"Jawab first asked Brother."

"If according to my theory yes bang, we know Salsabila Melker had an affair with Jovan Malkovich. That's certain. But was Jovan the one who killed Salsabila with a grudge against Hugo ? Or is there another reason behind all that?"

Omar Zidane looked seriously at Thea. "Go on (keep on )."

"If indeed Jovan Malkovich had a grudge with Hugo for making him wretch while Hugo was on duty, he should have attacked Hugo directly. Even through killing Salsabila, losing everything bang. Hugo may be grieving but he can move on with his life. Jovan Malkovich didn't get anything. The most logical thing is that Jovan killed Hugo and by then all insurance and assets would fall into the hands of Salsabila who could be used both. Salsabila and Jovan will be living together from Hugo's money, only they know."

"Considerate. Then your theory moreover?" omar Zidane asked as he rubbed his busted chin.

"The real killer is Salsabila still out there. Seeing from the condition of Salsabila's body, it is likely this is a case of crime of passion because killing by strangling, stabbing with a knife is personal..." Thea wet her lips.

"Who do you suspect?"

Thea looked down at Omar Zidane's flat face and the girl felt that her brother-in-law knew something. "If I bang, the bartender."

Omar smiled and took an envelope from his pocket in his suit and gave it to Thea. "Read."

Thea received the white envelope and opened it and picked up a piece of white paper there. His brown eyes widened when reading the writing listed there.

"dude? Is this not wrong, bang?" Thea looked at Omar Zidane with a look of disbelief.

"Abang did not believe it at first until the lab repeated up to three times, and indeed he was the real culprit." Omar looked at Thea calmly.

"Astaghfirullah Al - Adzim...."
