Chapter 42: Is the lesser evil still evil?
Valentina spent the whole morning thinking about Kaito’s message, but in the end, she couldn’t trust or believe that man... He was someone evil, just like her father, Kenji, and that kind of revenge would never please her. On the contrary, killing the Vice Mayor only took away her chance to interrogate the man. Personal feelings aside, what did Kaito want from her?
They were past the point of being friends and were declared public enemies. What did he want with this message? To prove that her father was innocent? And what about the other crimes he had committed? The worst part was that Kaito had also become a criminal, just like his father, and he deserved everything she did to him... She remembered to this day when she saw in some of her father’s documents that not only were her mother’s killers still active in the city, but Kenji’s son Kaito was their new leader...
It was on that day that she decided to pursue a career in the police force and bring justice not only for her mother, but for everyone who was harmed by these criminals...
Before Valentina could sink deeper into her thoughts, another police officer interrupted her again:
"Captain, the commissioner just arrived at the police station, Detective Bennett is also with him!"
"Quickly let them in!"
"Daughter, are you okay?" Luis said in a tired voice as he hugged his daughter.
"Yes, Dad, how did you get here without a vehicle?"
Before she could say anything else, she saw the Vice Mayor’s head on the table and was startled. "That’s... What happened?"
As Luis Morales approached the box and the head, and read Kaito’s message, the system sent several alerts to Valentina, while Detective Bennett approached smiling:
"I have some vehicles that still work. I went to your house this morning and found your father there... It’s good to see you’re okay, Captain..."
