A couple of hours later Zoey left with Alexia. Even though she could barely keep herself from falling apart she wasn’t going to leave her daughter, the person she loved the most, with a mentally ill sister. That would be very irresponsible.
And so Daphne was all alone now. She tried to comprehend the fact that Gerard had taken his own life. Hadn’t Daphne told Zoey to leave so she could be with her family?
It’s not my fault, Daphne defended herself in silence, I didn’t ask Zoey to live with me and abandon her family for three months.
Well, that’s rather ungrateful, a small voice in her head said. Be honest, would you have been fine without her?
And yet it’s not my fault, Daphne thought fierce, I let Zoey go. She should’ve tried harder saving her marriage.
Confident that she was indeed not to blame for Gerard’s death she stood up from the couch, when the kampanilya rang. Daphne walked to the front door, but when she opened there was no one there. She looked down and noticed a small package. She picked it up and carried it inside. Daphne examined the box carefully, but there was no name or address on it. She walked to the kusina drawer and took out a knife. She walked back to the kusina table, where she’d left the package and opened it. The package contained a DVD copy. Daphne took the DVD and put it in her DVD player. She turned her telebisyon on and pressed play.
When the larawan appeared Daphne didn’t know how to react. She wanted to scream and throw her TV on the floor. She wanted to cry and drown in her own tears.
But she just sat there, staring shocked at the screen.

“It was me” Meg said. Sam had freed her from her prison and now she was going to free Cas of his. She had to promise Sam she wouldn’t try to get out until they were far gone. Because as soon as soon as Cas was out they were going to hit the road an drive as far away as possible.
“I killed Jack and I killed Paul Morgan. Cas has nothing to do with it. I was trying to protect him. Jack was asking too many tanong and Paul knew too much already. There were people trying to hurt Cas and I tried to give him a low profile. But it didn’t really work out. I don’t want a lawyer. I don’t want a trial. Just give me the maximum penalty and I’ll accept it”
Isabel stared at her, a little puzzled, but also thrilled. She got Jack and Paul’s killer. Now no one would tanong her competence as an inspector again. She cuffed Meg’s hand and brought her to a cell.

The susunod morning.
Jo woke up, because someone was banging the door.
“Mr. Allen? Open the door!” a female voice said.
Jo stumbled out of kama and wiped her eyes. She walked to the door and opened it. There were two inspectors, a man and a woman.
“Good morning, miss. I’m inspector Roberts, this is my colleague inspector Williams” Isabel said, ipinapakita her badge. “We need to talk to Emmanuel Allen. We were told we could find him here”
Jo frowned and shook her head. “I don’t know anyone with that name. You have the wrong house”
Inspector Williams searched in his bag and conjured a picture. “Maybe this might help you?” he said. Jo’s eyes widened and she took the picture. “I know him” she admitted. “But his name’s not Emmanuel. It’s Castiel”
