Chapter 31
AT THE HOSPITAL, IN QUIN'S ROOM....[Since they all can't sleep, they spend the day discussing....]
Nam: Are you sure no one knows about the suspect?
May: I even personally asked each and everyone.
Chi San: If it's that easy, what are we here for?
May: Right, it's based on us to investigate. [sign] I don't like this at all tho.
Fei: Let's start from the basics.
Nam: Who is the most highly person to kill Quin? For what?
May: Like I use to say, Quin knows something, something that cause her life to be at risk.
Chi San: She is the only person left to unhidden this case.
Man: But who else is still left attached to this case besides Quin?
Fei: Stanley died, that leaves only Vincent.
Nam: Yes, just because he was found to have nothing to do with Quin's false disappearance and the school girl's death, doesn't mean we should lose our eye on him.
Chi San: There are so many things that are happening all of a sudden, rushing for us to face. He was just flicked out of our minds.
Fei: But think of it. What is his motive to kill Kwan?
May: I'm sure that is our trick question.
Nam: We can conclude that it must have to do with what Quin knows, something about Stanley and him.
Chi San: His role through out this case is only a short time suspect. Can it be even more complicated?
Fei[with a look like something clicked in his mind]: May, do you remember the last time Vincent came to the station? [May nodded her head] On the looks of it, he seems concern about Kwan. That may just be an excuse. He really came to fetch the situation. Wait, how did he get the "Gum Mue Peen" box?
Nam: What are you talking about?
Chi San: Fei always carried one.
Fei: Last time I gave it to Kwan. Then he must have seen Kwan. Where though? He actually asked me, like confirming if that box belonged to Kwan or not. So, was it that time which made him decide to go after Kwan, that's if he is the real killer?
Nam: We are actually getting somewhere now.
Man: Have you guys proven any evidence yet? It's not going to help much like this.
[They all shows lost faces.]
Chi San: I have a reasonable prediction. Can the assistant be Vincent all along?
Nam: So, now he is avenging Stanley?
Fei: I think not. Why would he be only after Kwan.
Man: Yeah, he's got a point.
Nam: There should be a specific reason for his actions. But what? [Time seems to be ticking alot quicker than usual. They are still lost in la la land!]
THE NEXT DAY.....AT QUIN'S APT...[The door bell is ringing constantly...]
May: Coming, I'm coming. [She opens the door. Quin's Aunt is standing outside.] Huang Yee, you finally came.
Lian Huang: May Ming? It is really you! [Dropped her luggage and gave May a hug.]
May: Huang Yee, long time no see. Huang Yee, now is not the right time for reunions.
Lian Huang: Yes, I know. [Walked in, while May helped with the luggage's. Grabbed on to May's shirt.] Ah Kwan, how is she?
May: Sit down first. Where should I start? [Man came out]
Man: Huang Yee, it's good that you finally arrived.
Lian Huan: Yes, darling. [They all sat down on the sofa.]
May: You know how is started already, right?
Lian Huang: Yes, you told me that she was shot and was placed at the ICU for a period of time. She's still in a coma? How is she now?
May: Until yesterday, she was better off.
Lian Huan: What do you mean by that?
Man: Another intruding accident occurred yesterday.
Lian Huan[Waiting for an answer]: What? You mean it happened more than once?
May: I hope you can take this. [paused] Someone tried to kill her yesterday. She have been attacked twice. But overall she is fine now.
Lian Huang[shocked and worried at the moment]: How can that be? What is going on? Why does anyone want to kill her? Oh my god. How am I going to explain this to her father?
Man: Huang Yee, please stay calm.
May: Huang Yee, you are going to wait up Sum Oiy.
Lian Huang: Does she know about her mother?
Man: We just told her that Quin is sick, nothing else.
Lian Huang: Don't scare the poor thing.
May: Com'on, let's get dressed. Huang Yee probably wants to see Quin now.
Lian Huang: Yes, thank you.
[Man and May went into their rooms to change. Lian Huang began looking around the surroundings. After a few minutes have passed, Lian Huang saw something irregular that made her curious. Man and May came out and they were about to leave.]
Lian Huang: May, Man, what is that? [she pointed to the camcorder, the one Quin had hid.]
Man [turns to the shelf above the TV and then looked at May]: Huh? I never noticed that. That, that looks like a cam....
May: That is, that is. I wonder who....Man, you drive Huang Yee to see Quin now. I think we have found something here.
THEY ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL, WENT UP TO QUIN'S ROOM....
Lian Huang [was surprised and angry to see Fei sleeping aside Quin on a chair]: Tsui Fei? [Faced Ah Man] What is he doing here? Can you tell me why?
Fei[awoken by Lian Huang's voice. Saw Lian Huang]: Bue Yee?
Lian Huang[with an attitude]: Do not call me that. {emm gum dong, aug sai hm hay ah.}
Fei [ignored her attitude]: Bue Yee, you sit.
Lian Huang [pushed him away]: Ah Kwan. [touched her faced and began to sob.] Why, why has this happened? {deem guy weh gum ga? nay jun hai mang fu la!} Last time, again she was hospitalized over the Fong Hoi Lun issue, now this. This is ten times worst. Look at her, she is hurt everywhere with bandages. Why did she have to come back anyway. I should have urge her to rebel. Live in NY would have been better off. Nothing good has happened to her every since she came back to HK. [Fei felt bad.]
Fei: I'm sorry. It's my fault. If it wasn't for....
Lian Huang[interrupted Fei]: Yes, it's you. Why is it always you? Your fault! What has Kwan every done to you. All she ever did wrong was to love you. [Fei was speechless but was highly expected for her reactions.] [Lian Huang turned back to Quin] After all these years, I have treated her exactly like my own daugther. I raised and feed her like my own flesh. All her life, nothing good has happened to her in relationships. She was hurt many many times. And the worst was brought by you, [angryly stared at Fei] Tsui Fei. Not only did you tore her heart in pieces but you left her a heavy burden. Did you know how difficult it was for her. A young pregnant woman, traveling away half of the equator. Alone, not letting anyone help, including her family members. [Fei and Man couldn't hold it. They began to leak tears. Especially Fei, crying extremely hard.] She wanted to get away, get away from her reality life and live alone with her burden. Do you know being a single parent is very difficult. She sacrifices herself and let you be with that woman. She didn't even try to use the baby to redeem you back. What more do you want from her? How much more do you want Kwan to sacrifice for you? She didn't even ask anything in return. You and I know it would have been better off if she had never came back and never saw you again. Most importantly never tell you about Sum Oiy. We will all be happier that way. The only goodness you did for her was Sum Oiy.
Fei[still with tears, stammering these words out]: Bue Yee, I will not and can not blame you. I know, I know what you are saying. But what you don't know is that, I have always loved Kwan and always will love her no matter what happens.
Lian Huang: Don't give me that. If you loved her you would not hurt Kwan by picking that other woman. I know, Kwan told me that you owe her too much and it is your obligation to do what you did. But during these 3 years she left you, Kwan have never been happy. This mental suffering pain from the first day you and her became a couple never ended even the day you had to part with her. It is ten times worse than any physical pain a person can get.
Man: Huang Yee, please stop scolding Fei. We all know it is very hard for him too. He should not be the complete fault on this.
Fei: Sometimes when a person is far away from you, you learn to miss them and want them back even more. Even though there is someone by your side now, it seems like we are very far away, distances apart. You will not experience that feeling until it actually happens to you. That feeling of craving for the one you love most is also as painful. All these years I have Chin Chin by my side, I admit I constantly never stopped thinking of Kwan. Not only the scenes of our happy moments simply flashes in my head day and night...even in dreams. That is the only place I can met her. I never forgotten her, her pretty face, her lovely smile and simply every gesture she makes is unforgetable to me. Even if she has physical left me, I know that our hearts have always been unseparated.
Lian Huang: I don't care. If you understand how painful it is for me to see Kwan like this, then you will know.
Man: If you talk about being hurt, Quin and you are not the only one. I believe Fei was not in any better of a position. Can you not tell? Look at him now. If he does not love Quin as he say he does, we would not be seeing this today. He can not act this out as these words, reactions and expressions are truly from his heart. I know I have spoken too much but we are all hurt. [noticed something] Ok, let's end this. [smiles] Quin, Quin, [laughs] she woke up. [Quin indeed did wake up. Tears dropped quickly from the corners of her eyes. She have heard almost everything and most importantly what Fei said. She couldn't resist to cry, hearing Fei sob like that.]
[Fei immediately went over to Quin. In knowing that she finally woke up, he couldn't hold her feelings, his love for her. He helped Quin lift her upper body up and they both hug each other, hugging so tightly. Both crying their hearts out for each other.]
Fei: Kwan, Kwan.
Quin: Fei.
Fei: You finally woke up. Do you know how scared I was? I was so scared, so scared that you would leave Sum Oiy and I.
Quin: I was scared too. [Continuous tears on their faces.]
Fei: Do not talk anymore. You need rest. You just woke up. [They are both hugging each other. On the looks of it, they are not going to let go. All witnesses around them, Lian Huang and Man cried along with them. Unknowingly, the rest of the crew was standing outside the door watching this warm moment.]
Nam[standing outside of this door with everyone else]: Finally, Kwan's one and only wish and hope have came true after all.
Chi San: Yes, so has Fei's. [in seeing Man crying hard as well, he went up to her to lend his shoulder. Man quickly accepted the offer of his shoulder. She felt reassurance as this feeling of warmness alerts her again.] We are suppose to be happy for them.
Man: Yes, I know. That is why I'm crying.
Gigi: Wow this is so touching and romantic. [also leaned on Korean's shoulder while shedding a few drops of tears.]
Korean: I never knew that just loving someone or being in love can be so much pain. Very high stage. [May showed herself.]
May [saying out of passion]: After all the games, all the ups and downs these two have gone through, I'm sure they will cherish their every moments together, loving each other even deeper now.
Gigi: Now this is real love.
[Fei and Quin are still tightly holding on to each other. They are using this moment to make up as much of their lost times, replacing as much of those hugs and kisses they have missed out on each other....]
LATER AT NIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL... IN QUIN'S ROOM.....
[Quin is sleeping away her long night in her room almost completely covering herself. The lights are closed and the hallways are quiet, almost too quiet. The exit door opened and closed again instantly. The knob of Quin's room is turned. That's strange, who would visit Quin in such hours? Quite obvious it's the killer's third break out. This person once again slowly approaches Quin. This time, this person has thought it over. He/she does not have the patients any longer, wanting to end this hunt once and for all. This time this person took out a knife instead. Quick and easy. Showing guilt and unwillingness, he/she still decided to do this. As the person aims the knife, about to go straight forward at Quin's chest, the person raised his arm, getting ready....and BAM.....in shock, the person stopped in seeing a gun like object sticking up under the blanket. Suddenly, the blanket is flinged opened and the person getting up isn't Quin.....]
May: It's really you. [Fei quickly charged out of the bathroom while Korean pops out from under the patient bed. The rest of the crew also charged in from the outside. All aiming their guns at Vincent. Vincent, unsurprised, dropped the knife and stood there. Now he is harmless against them. Fei and Korean came over to arrest Vincent.]
Fei: You are now under arrested. You have the right to remain silent.....
Nam: Great job. [Korean and Gigi gave each other high fives.]
May: I believe we are going to hear alot from you. [looking at Vincent.]
IN THE INTERROGATION ROOM....[Korean and Chi San are questioning Vincent.]
Korean [slammed the clipboard on the table]: Hey, stop playing games with us. You've wasted half an hour already. You can not sit here and not say a word. [Vincent didn't even bother to face them.]
Chi San: Leung Teet Lok, I know and sense that there is a specific reason for all your doings. Tell us, we can help you. How did everything started?
Vincent: How do you know?
Chi San: We do not, that why you have to speak for his to help. Besides, you attempt to kill someone. Not once but three times. [Stanley quickly looked at Chi San shockingly, pausing and then looked the other way again.]
Korean: What, don't tell me it was more than that.
Vincent: Ok, I will speak, not that I have a any other way out......
AFTER A FEW HOURS LATER....[They all came out. Other officers took away Vincent. The rest of the crew headed to the discussion room...]
May: I don't believe it. He took the scapegoat all these years.[May ran out upsettingly, Nam tried to run after him.]
Chi San: Law Sir, let her go. Let her be along.
Gigi: It is quite understandable for her reactions. How could you have ever figured that the one you have hated for all these years, finally found out that he was actually innocent all along. Really hard to accept in a way.
Korean: That Stanley is so damn perverted. How can he even have the mind to touch his friends girlfriend.
Fei: Accordingly to Vincent's report, in this party at campus, Stanley purposely tried to force May to drink alot. May soon blew out, letting Stanley escort her to a room. When Vincent found out, it was too late. Stanley then smacked him with a baseball bat which made him unconscious for the period. When he woke up, he found himself undressed on the bed with May, who was also undressed. May woke up and she completely freaked out. Didn't even let Vincent explain or even say a work and ran out of site.
Chi San: Vincent had the idea it was Stanley's act. He had sense Stanley's overwhelming behavior toward May for sometime. He went to Stanley for an answer. He saw that Stanley had bandage on his forehead. He remember seeing shattered glasses before. He confronted Stanley and he blurred everything out. He knew Vincent's weakness. Yes, his grandmother, the only surving family member in his family. He knew Stanley is in debt and in need of money. Therefore he bribes Stanley to take the blame and face the consequences for him.
Gigi: Vincent is actually a good guy all along. If it was not for his grandmother's health conditions, he would not have done such a thing to May.
Korean: So no doubt, Stanley was the one who killed the school girl.
Gigi: The tape told alot already. Showed the real side of him.
Korean: Yeah, the other innocent person, Ms. Mo was dragged along.
Nam: She does deserve an brave award for what she did. She tried to uncover the case for everyone's sake and saved Fei's life.
Gigi: The anomyous caller was Vincent. It somehow tells that he was trying to save Ms. Mo from the beginning he found out Stanley had interest in her.
Fei: Vincent aimed to kill Kwan afterwards because she was the only one left knowing the whole truth, the only one alive to tell it.
Gigi: If he had gotten help and told the truth earlier, his position would not end up like this.
Nam: Ok. So, now everything makes sense with everything else. The case is solved. I have been longing to say this. Close file.
AT THE PRISON...VISITING ROOM...[Vincent is walking along the bars as the gate opens. He enter the room, seeing Quin and May already sitting on the table waiting for him.]
Vincent [sat down]: I am glad you both came. I thought you both will never want to see me again but it was worth the try.
May [burst out]: I can not believe you. I am sorry. I...
Vincent: May, don't say that. If anyone should be sorry and responsible, it is the one and only me.
May: No, but don't you hate me? I mean the way I have treated you ever since it happened? How can you even stand me?
Vincent: Never, I know you did not know the reason. I can not blame you at all.
May[felt even worst]: I was so stupid. I should have never mistrusted you. If I knew it had to do with Leung Pal Pal, I'd... and besides it was a trap for you as well. You were also the victim. I....
Vincent: May, the worst victim of all was you. I was as hurt but could not express it.
May: I just want to ask. Did you lo.....
Vincent[immediately replied]: Yes, Yes. I did. I really did. [Vincent and May reached up to hug each other. But lasting only a few seconds....]
Guard: Hey, Hey. Both of you move back. [pulled them apart and they sat back down.]
Stanley: Thank you for your forgiveness. [turned to Quin] Will I be lucky enough to get double the amount of forgiveness?
Quin: After knowing the whole story, forgiving and forgetting is what I intended to do. Even though you attempt to kill me a few times, but while in bed, I felt that you hesistated the first time. I felt that you did not wish to do it. Besides, you have saved me before a few times, well tried, we can call it even.
Vincent[smiled]: Thank you for being so understanding. It was hard, very hard but...
Quin: I know, I understand. Don't repeat the harsh memory. Let whatever have became the past, stay the past.
Vincent: How can I ever thank you.
Quin: Do your best in here and come back out to be the righteous man we have known you for. That will be the greatest present we can hope for. [May nodded her head]
Vincent: I, I do not know what to say. I am just too touched. [suddenly became serious] Quin, there is one thing I want you to keep in mind. A few words of advice. Keep an eye on everyone. Especially the ones you consider to be close.
Quin: Ok, I will but what makes you think...
Vincent: Don't asked but to memorize it deeply. My words may save you in the future. [Quin and May felt stranged by Vincent's words.]
