Chapter 37

Friends No More

[Ada and Flora’s place]

Ada throws the yellow envelope she’s holding onto the table

Ada: (reproachfully) Flora! I don’t understand why you are keeping this from us! From me!

Flora: It’s not like what you think, Ada!

Ada: Then what do you expect me to think, Flora? What are all these? (pointing at the photos in the envelope) Who are you exactly? A spy?! (recalls something) I remember… that time… when Lam-sir was trying to track down the traitor in our station, you tried to push it on me!

Flora: It was a misunderstanding, and a cleared-up one, Ada!

Ada: (shakes her head suspiciously) No… it must be you who did it! And that guy arrested was a scapegoat!

Flora: (angry) Ada! We have been friends for ages and you don’t trust me?!

Ada: Then explain why are you checking up on Gallen and Kenix? Why did you hire a PI to do it?

Flora: And Miss Ada Choi, how did you get to know it?

Ada: It’s all in the envelope!

Flora: And how did he get to know it in the first place?

Ada: Because he was suspicious about you and checked it out!

Flora: Can’t it be that I was suspicious about him so I got it check up?

Ada: Now you’re repeating my words!

Flora: Ada! You are NOT taking my words!

Ada: Neither are you!

Flora: Fine! Then I don’t have to explain so much to you!

Ada: That’s because you have a guilty conscience, and you are unable to find a good excuse to conceal your vested interests!

Flora: (feeling ridiculous) Look where you’re leading to! Why do you believe Gallen so much? He IS sick!

Ada: I AM sick! Sick and tired of listening to you saying that! (pauses) He may be right… you are problematic!

Flora: What did you say?

Ada: Like what he said… you are ganging up with someone to drive him crazy, right?

Flora: What?!! (rolls her eyes) Who?!!

Ada: I don't know, he hasn’t told me!

Flora: Now YOU are the one with a problem! Why do you take each and every of his words so seriously?

Ada: Because I believe him!

Flora: You have a problem!

Ada: Why were you trying to stop me just now? What intentions were you harboring?

Flora: I just want to know what’s up with you! You were running away from me as if I would finish you off as well!

Ada: Ha! As well? Now you’re admitting it!

Flora: I don't know how to explain the details to you, but for every single thing I’ve done so far, my conscience is clear!

[Some apartment]

Moses opens the door and puts his packed food on the table.

Kenix: Moses! Where’s Flora?

Moses: She will be coming later…

Kenix: And when will it be? I’ve been out for a few hours and Frankie will be worried. Or could you lend me your phone so I could give him a call?

Moses: But I don’t have my phone with me right now.

Kenix: What place is this exactly? There isn’t even a phone line!

Moses: This apartment belongs to my friend. He’s currently working aboard, so this place had been vacant for quite a few months…

Kenix: (getting a bit impatient) Or can you just tell me what Flora wants to tell me? I guess it’s really getting a bit late…

Moses: Can you just wait for an hour more?

Kenix: (gets up from the chair) But it’s getting quite late and I must really…

Moses: (blocks her) You’re not going anywhere…

There was a dangerous glare in his eyes, which makes Kenix shivers…

Twenty minutes later, Moses left the apartment and arrived at the hospital shortly.

Moses: (knocks and enters) Fruits for you, Gallen! How are you now?

Gallen: Moses, tell them I want to be discharged… I don’t want to be tied up like a crab here!

Moses: Gallen, you are not well yet, you should listen to the doctor and stay here.

Gallen: Where’s Ada? Have you seen her? I want to speak to her!

Moses: I have no idea.

Gallen: How about Kenix? Frankie called to say she’s missing!

Moses: (shrugs) Perhaps she just went somewhere else?

Gallen: (eyeing him) And where’s Flora?

Moses: (laughs) Why are you asking me all these? I’m not responsible for their lives!

Gallen: (seriously) Moses, are you my buddy?

Moses: Of course!

Gallen: Then can you help me? Just once…

Moses: Help you?

Gallen: I want to get out of here! I need to, please!

Moses: (straight face) Okay!

Gallen: You will?

Moses: Yeah, let me untie you first! (untying him)

Gallen: Thanks Moses, you’re indeed my buddy!

Moses: Ok, done! (opens the door and looks left and right) Clear, let’s go!

Gallen: Which way are we going?

Moses: (points to the left) You go this way! I go the other way to help you block whoever is coming to your ward!

Gallen: Ok, thanks!

Moses: (smiles) See you later!

Gallen steps hurriedly towards the lift and got into it, getting to the ground level.

It was five storeys more to go, and the lift stopped at every level, making Gallen panicky and worried.

Then a familiar face enters at the fourth level, Gallen quickly turned his head around.

Dr. Koo: (to nurse besides him) How’s the patient at ward 521? Did you give him another jab?

Nurse: No, because I think he’s calmer now. When I left his room, he was fast asleep.

Dr. Koo: (smiles) That’s good! This Gallen is quite a troublesome fellow!

Nurse: Why aren’t you sending him to somewhere else for specialized attention, doctor?

Dr. Koo: You mean castle peak? (laughs) His condition is not that serious yet, but the problem is he refuses to cooperate with us…

Nurse: (lift door opens) We are here, doctor!

Gallen releases a relieved wheeze.

Finally the lift arrived at the ground level and Gallen quickly got out of it, approaching the entrance.

He was just another step away from it…

Voice: He’s there!

Gallen turns around, and saw…

Moses: Don’t let him get away, he’s right there!

The medical staffs rushed up to him and got hold of him.

Gallen: Moses, you….! You promised to help me!

Moses: I already helped you by untying you and letting you off, that’s what I can do as a friend! But now I’m doing what I should!

Gallen: Moses Chan! You betrayed me! I’ll remember that!

When Gallen was taken away, Moses made a phone call…

Moses: (into the phone) Flora? I’ve got Kenix. Are you coming over now?
