The Neighbour

*Kowloon Police Station, 8:30am*

It was the day after Ron’s party, after a late night besides for Charmaine, Bosco had already started working. Moments later Kenneth, Bernice and Linda arrived looking quite tired.

“Bosco, did you check if Florence Kwok had left the country?” Charmaine asked.

Bosco was on the computer checking, “according to immigrations she hasn’t left the country, madam.”

“Ok then, lets go chat with her see if she knows anything about Selena Li’s death.”

Kenneth automatically thought that he would be going at stood up from his seat.

“Bosco, you’re coming with me.” Charmaine and Bosco left the station.

Kenneth stood there thinking that the newcomer Bosco was stealing his limelight.

*Florence Kwok’s apartment, 9:30am*

#Knock knock#

Bosco knocked on the door but no one answered.

#Knock knock#

Bosco knocked again, “No ones home.”

“Try calling her house,” Charmaine suggested.

Bosco rang Florence Kwok’s house, both Charmaine and Bosco heard the phone ring from the outside but no one picked up. It rang a few times before switching to the answering machine.

“Hello, this is Florence Kwok, I have currently left Hong Kong on a holiday, please leave a message after the tone… #Beep#”

Bosco hearing this message thinking it was too suspicious, “Madam, Florence Kwok said on her answering machine that she left the Hong Kong, but immigration records show she’s still here.”

Charmaine took out her mobile and dialled back to the station, “Kenneth, double check and see if Florence Kwok has left the country or not, if she hasn’t ring the phone company and check she has made any calls out during the last two weeks from her house.”

“Madam, what do we do now?” Bosco asked.

“We’ll go back to the station first.”

*Kowloon Police Station, 5:15pm*

“And that’s one days of work,” Bosco said to Bernice stretching his arms.

Bernice was busily looking through a cookbook, “there’s nothing much we can do beside follow the Florence Kwok lead, and we can’t even find her.”

“What are you looking at?” Bosco asked sliding his chair next to Bernice.

“I’m running out of ideas of what to cook for dinner, my sister is really particular about food.”

Bosco thought this would be the best chance to make his first move to get to know Jessica, “I’ll teach you some new dishes.”

“Really? That would be great! But you live so far away, its too much trouble.”

“I’m moving into your apartment building today, well should be. My cousin went to sign the lease form this morning.”

Charmaine walked out of her office, “Bernice you ready to go?”

“Yep, can we take Bosco his moved to out building,” Bernice said grabbing her bag.

“Sure! Lets go then.”

*Alexander Building, 6:01pm*

Charmaine, Bernice and Bosco walked into the lobby waiting for the elevator.

“So which floor do you live on?” Bernice asked pressing the button.

“Floor 38, apartment A,” replied Bosco.

“You live across from me then,” Charmaine said as they stepped into the elevator.

“Yeh I know, I actually found out from Ron the apartment was leasing. So Bernice which apartment do you live at?” Bosco asked trying not to look suspicious.

“Floor 37, apartment D.” The elevator door opened and Bernice stepped out, “Bye.”

Charmaine and Bosco went up another level to their floor and both entered their apartments, which were directly facing each other.

Charmaine walked into her apartment, Ron was in the kitchen cooking dinner. She threw her things on the table and sat on the couch with her legs up watching TV.

Ron walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron and saw Charmaine’s things thrown on the nicely organised table.

“Sis, do you have to throw your things on the table like that?”

“What’s the difference? It makes life easier.” Charmaine said sliding down further on the couch flicking through channels. “Ron, why don’t you be more man, and not so organised and get more man hobbies to do?”

“Well… why don’t you be more lady, and learn how to cook and clean properly and dress more feminine and sit with you feet down and…” Ron said rebutting Charmaine’s comment.

“I get your point,” Charmaine said still sitting with her legs on the table.

“We’re out of flour, can you buy some?”

“I’ll just ask Bosco, he just came home with me,” Charmaine walked across to apartment A and rang the doorbell.

Raymond who was already home opened the door.

“Why is it you?” Charmaine asked getting irritated already just by seeing his face.

Raymond knew his annoyance plan was work just by seeing Charmaine’s face, “What do you want?” he said coldly.

“Why are you here?”

“By law, I can be wherever I want,” Raymond answered.

Charmaine ignored his smart remark, “Why are you in Bosco’s house? Where is he?”

“First of all, this is my house since the lease is under my name as for Bosco he came home then went out again. So are you done interrogating me lady?” Raymond said with no facial expression.

Ron came out to see what was taking so long, “Raymond you moved in pretty fast, I only told you about the apartment yesterday. How about joining us for dinner?”

Charmaine looked into Raymond’s eye and warned him in a quite tone, “you better not come!”

Raymond smiled, “I’d love to have dinner with the both of you Ron.”

“Great! Come on in.”

Raymond walked into their apartment with Charmaine behind him slamming the door behind her. She sat down on the couch irately flipping through a magazine.

Raymond took a little tour and walked pass a somewhat messy room, “Wow, Ron I thought you were more organised than that, your room is a total mess, nothing is categorised, the colour of your sheets don’t match. Did you loose your touch?”

Charmaine hearing this slammed the magazine on the table.

“That’s not my room, that’s my sisters room,” Ron said bringing out the rest of the food.

Raymond walked back to the living room and looked at Charmaine, “Ahh… That makes sense then.”

The three of them sat down and began their meal with Charmaine glaring at Raymond the whole time. Although Raymond looked as if he didn’t notice or cared about Charmaine glaring at him, deep inside he was jumping with joy at the fact that his plan of annoying her was working.

Jessica opens the front door and the apartment was filled the smell of delicious food.

“Bernice, what are you cooking? Smells great!” Jessica walks into the kitchen no to find Bernice cooking but Bosco.
