The Mystery Red Umbrella
The Unexpected Suspect

Barrow hasn't run his car yet, he still can't believe what Anna just said. How could Nick Devan be Mariana's pure descendant? It didn't feel like believing it but he was sure Anna wasn't joking at a time like that.

Anna also believes that her guess is not wrong if Nick is a pure descendant of Mariana. She doesn't know how, she herself doesn't understand but a lot of awkwardness suggests that Nick's the one she should be wary of all this time let alone some clues did point to the man.

Anna pretended to be dazed after being rescued from the bottom of the abyss. He thought hard with the words of the spirit of the red umbrella if the enemy was nearby without him noticing. He also suspects Nick is not without reason, he suspects that Nick is of Mariana descent because of his relationship with the spirit of the red umbrella.

The red umbrella's spirit was about to say something the last time they met but Mariana found out about it and shackled Natalie's soul. He deduces that Mariana did so so that she would not know and does not suspect Nick so that the man could easily watch over her.

"Why do you say Nick Devan is Mariana's purebred, Anna?" ask Barrow.

"Many things have made me suspicious of him, Barrow. The spirit of the red umbrella who always followed him and looked at him with vengeance, from there I could draw conclusions let alone the spirit of the red umbrella died and was made into a mash. Nick also once told me that he had a girlfriend who left him for studies and I guessed, the departure of his lover is not for that but he has been crushed and his lover is the spirit of the red umbrella" explained Anna.

Although he can't explain much but he hopes Barrow believes because he also still doesn't understand how Nick can be the oldest son in the Devan family. Did he trick the family into using magic? Lucia Devan is the girl chosen for Mariana's resurrection.

"But, how?" Barrow really can't believe that.

"I don't know either but do you know, Barrow?" Anna turned, looking at Barrow with a serious facial expression.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me I've been tarnished by those spirits!"

"Absolutely, which spirit would want to desecrate you?" Anna seems annoyed that Barrow is joking when he is serious but in fact Barrow is already stained by the spirit of Mariana when she is disguised as Anna.

If at that time Barrow was not aware, maybe Barrow seeds were already in Mariana's womb. Barrow did not remember at all, Anna did not know so it became a secret and what made Barrow aware at that time was the spirit of the red umbrella. Although shackled, but Natalie was not far from Barrow at that time.

"Alright, continue!" said Barrow. Now he looks serious.

"When you're under Mariana's control and performing a satanic cult, Nick is so sure you're a demon worshipper. He even wanted to call the police to get you arrested and put to death. He did it to make yourself a scapegoat so you're a suspect in a serial murder case that happened in the castle back then."

"What's? So he did that?" Barrow seemed to be in disbelief. He was almost doomed in the castle but he wanted to be made a suspect by Nick, just watch out for the man later.

"I always remember these words, what looks good is not necessarily good. Nick always caught my attention, he always wanted me to be his lover and like urging me to accept his love. I want to be close to him for a purpose and of course so that he feels he can fool me. As an agent, I need to be able to put myself in every situation. I've been so suspicious of him and you see, my mother and aunt were so easily kidnapped because they liked Nick so much and believed in him."

"How do you know your mother and aunt are with Nick?"

"Damn, really an unexpected suspect!" Barrow hit the steering wheel. He really didn't expect Nick to be the one they've been looking for and that has killed a lot of girls to bully. But how can it be? That question remains unanswered for now.

If Nick is the one who always subverts the women, then what is the relationship of the victim who was hit by the car at that time with Nick? Actually the woman works at Nick's company, she's been targeted by Nick because he's one of the descendants of the man who burned Mariana. That night the woman followed, the spirit that followed her was the one who gave the victim an umbrella and Natalie killed the victim. It's always the way it happens, the role of Natalie is always taking the lives of victims.

"All right, I guess you really fell for him," the car started again, and he suddenly felt relieved.

"I won't fall in love easily!" said Anna.

"See, I told you. This handsome man is not far from you," seduced Barrow.

"Ck, no need to tease me, Barrow. I've got a cheap house, we stay there for a while until we win this fight and kick Nick along with Mariana!" anna said in a annoyed tone.

"This time we should be able to, Anna. We have to save your mother and aunt but I can't believe Nick Devan is Mariana's pure descendant. How could? He looks so fond of Lucia Devan then how can it be?"

"Of course she loves Lucia Devan because she's a special victim."

"It's hard to believe!" said Barrow.

"What we're dealing with right now is beyond our reasoning. You know that, don't you?"

"alright, fine. Honestly, I'd rather catch a big-time crook than catch a ghost!"

"You're right, hopefully there's no second Mariana after this!"

"And there's no second Barrow!" anna joked.

"Hey, of course there isn't. The handsome guy for Anna Baker is just a Barrow!" Barrow raised his face, bragging that Nick was not his rival.

"Ck, get the right car!" said Anna ketus. Although the nature of Barrow like that but honestly, he was very happy his best friend had returned again. Now that he was not alone anymore, he could face the case alone with Barrow and solve it.

A small house was already visible, it was a house they would occupy for a while. The amulet is put back in the house by Barrow while Anna goes to do something on the grounds of wanting to buy medicine because she doesn't want Barrow to know what he's about to do.
