Bab 241: Flashback From The Future XV
"Boss…. Boss?" called Morales as he opened the door to Pete's office, and he could not find him anywhere.
Morales sighed as he shook his head, usually the Boss would always come to the office early, earlier than anyone else in fact, but for the last few weeks, it had not been like that at all, in fact, Morales could tell you that it was since the homicide that they are investigating happened that Pete started to behave strangely, not like himself.
Morales personally did not know the relationship that Pete had with the victim, but you did not need to be a detective to realize that Pete and the victim were close, so much so that Pete vowed to solve this case no matter what.
Which had led to a pause in so many other cases that needed to be solved, if you asked Morales, he would tell you that Pete needed to take a break, and hand this case over to a professional detective one that he could trust.
But Morales would not dare tell that to Pete, before he would get scolded, or worse.
"I guess I will just leave it here then" said Morales as he walked into Pete's office and he placed a white folder on his desk.
Morales turned around and he walked out of the office as he closed the door behind him.
…
Pete sighed as he blinked three times, he had been in this room all night, without any light, save the white light coming from his laptop.
He had watched this video over a million times, replaying it over and over again, but this time he stopped, and he zoomed in, he zoomed in on the smile on Natasha's face, it would be the last time he would see her smile.
"Oh Natasha, just tell me… tell me who did this to you?" asked Pete to himself as he sighed, he knew that this was not the way to go, but he could not help but keep on watching this video, it was like his own way of keeping on to her.
He did not want to forget her, not at all, she did not deserve to be forgiven, he just wanted to get her justice, so much so that he would not rest until he found out who did this to her.
Pete blamed himself, he blamed himself for not doing anything to reach out to her when she disconnected from him, he should have tried to be understanding, he should have put his pride and ego behind, he should have put away his dislike for Dom and he should have focused on Natasha, and their friendship above everything else.
He should not have been selfish to want her to love him, when she did not at all, maybe if he had kept in touch, if no matter how much she pushed him away, if he had said nothing to anger her about Dom, then he would have been able to watch over her, to protect her, make sure to keep her safe.
Even though her love was for another man, he would love her no matter what.
"I shouldn't have been selfish Natasha" said Pete to himself.
"I should have let you love him, while I love you from the distance" said Pete.
"So please forgive me, forgive me for being so selfish, not considering your feelings, the deep feelings that you had for that man" said Pete.
"You always chose him, from the beginning, even before I came along" said Pete.
"I could not help but think that if I had met you before him, if I had been there before him, maybe I would have had the place in your heart that I wanted to" said Pete.
"But I guess that does not matter now does it?" asked Pete as he gave a sad smile.
"I should have just let you love him, while I love you from the distance, if only I did… even though it would kill me inside, to see you shower and pour out all your love on him, even though he treated you horribly, he accused you falsely, and yet, you gave him a beautiful daughter, and your love for him never changed, you loved him more, and he pushed you away" said Pete.
"That was what I could not stand, I could not stand him treating you like that, seeing you suffer, I only wanted you to leave him, even if you didn't come to me, just leave him, and save yourself" said Pete.
"Oh Natasha, just forgive me, if I had another chance, I would never let you go, never" said Pete as he rubbed his eyes, he needed to get to the office now, he was already late.
Pete stood up as he closed his laptop and he sniffed as he walked out of the room.
…
Pete sighed as he walked into his office, he needed some coffee.
Pete sat at his desk, he wondered where Morales was, so he picked up the phone on his table as he dialed a number.
"Yes, where are you Morales?" asked Pete as his call was picked.
"Boss, we were called to a breaking and entering scene" said Morales.
"Alright, serious or not?" asked Pete as he looked through the folders on his desk.
"Looks like a case of petty theft, not too serious, I will get the necessary information, and open a case" said Morales.
"Alright then, call me if anything comes up" said Pete.
"Yes Boss" said Morales as Pete ended the call and he placed the phone back on his table.
"Hmm" said Pete as he opened a white folder and he skimmed through it as he could not believe what he was reading.
Pete quickly picked up the phone as he dialed a number quickly.
"Yes Boss" said Morales as he picked the call.
"Morales, were you the one who dropped a white folder on my desk?" asked Pete.
"Well yes Boss, I did" said Morales.
"Where did you get this information from?" asked Pete.
"I don't know Boss, it was sent in anonymously" said Morales.
"Didn't you check through it?" asked Pete.
"Well no Boss, I left it for you to check through, why is something wrong?" asked Morales.
"No, nothing is wrong, or at least not for now" said Pete as Morales narrowed his eyes, what did Pete mean.
"Anyway, I just called to ask, I am going out of the office" said Pete as he stood up.
"Alright Boss" said Morales.
"Alright" said Pete as he ended the call, he dropped the phone on the table as he took the white folder in his other hands, as he quickly walked out of his office.
…
The Sky had become dark as the moon had took it's place in the sky, and Pete looked very angry as he walked into what seemed to be an abandoned cabin as it was very dark.
Pete walked into the room on the right side of the cabin as there seemed to be a man there, he was tied up to a chair as he kept his head down.
"Are you ready to talk now?" asked Pete as he switched on the lights and he walked to the man as the man said nothing at all.
"Is that how you are going to play it?" asked Pete as he scoffed, he had no time for this.
"Fine, suite yourself" said Pete as he bent down and he gave the man two mighty punches in the man's abdomen that caused the man to cough in pain as he coughed out blood.
"Tell me the truth you bastard" said Pete as he could not control himself, and the man said nothing at all.
"You sorry excuse of a human being, tell me the truth" said Pete as he felt like if nothing was said in the next five seconds, he would take out his gun and shot this man right here right now, he did not care what would happen to him, not at all.
"Answer me!" said Pete as he raised up the face of the man.
Dom coughed as he looked at Pete, the rage on his face was unmistakable.
"If you don't talk, I will kill you right here, I don't care what happens, not at all" said Pete as Dom said nothing at all, so he gave him another punch on the right side of his face.
"Tell me the truth, why did you kill Natasha??? Why??" asked Pete as he could feel his sanity slipping through his fingers.
"Open your mouth and talk!, talk now!!" said Pete.
"Fine, you want to know the truth?" asked Dom as he coughed and he looked at Pete as Pete kept quiet.
"Yes, fine I killed her, I killed her, and I don't regret it" said Dom as he started to laugh and Pete shut him up by punching him again.
"You bastard, you killed Natasha, you killed your own wife?" said Pete as he could not believe this, he wanted this to be false, he so desperately wanted it to be, but that anonymous information pointed to this man, this scum in front of him.
"I was tired, just tired" said Dom.
"Shut Up! Shut up you bastard, I will make you pay for this, I assure you, I will make sure you rot in prison for the rest of your days!" said Pete as he knew that he needed to think rationally.
"You will pay, you will pay for what you did" said Pete as he walked out of the room in nothing but utter fuming rage.
