Breaking news...

Earlier last night. The convoy of ex-Governor Alfredo Greenfield exploded near the intersection of Range Road 78 in Northwest of Rocky Mountain, Alberta. 

The soldiers at the nearby checkpoint were also died along with the explosion of the 3 cars.

"It is as what Risa said," Momo said to herself while watching news on television, and she still finding it weird. She felt that there was something's wrong with the news.

"Good morning Momo." Risa greet her and Momo prepares their breakfast.

"How are you feeling now?" Momo asked. 

"I'm okay now. It feels weird. Maybe because it's so long since then and I'm not being used to it." As Risa replied.

Thinking back last night. 

Momo was fixing their bed and Risa was left in the kitchen, washing dishes. Momo heard a loud noise, something fell on the floor.

When she came to look on Risa and the pan is on the floor. She was looking far away with her head raised.

"Risa?" Momo called her but she did not respond.

"Risa!" Momo shouted and ran towards her.

After 3 days...

Risa is rushing on her way to work as she woke up late.

As she run towards the entrance of the company she bumps into a man and the things in her purse scattered on the ground.

"I'm so sorry" she apologize to the man and picks up her things.

The man whom Risa bumped into was James and he is in a hurry too.

" I'm so sorry too." Said James while helping picking up Risa's thing. "Oh! It's you, Risa. Let me help you" James added.

"How are you, Risa?" James asked and as soon as they gathered all of Risa's things.

Risa hurried off by saying, "I'm sorry, James we can talk later. We're going to be late!"

James closed his bag and went off running inside.

"You're late, Risa. What happened to you?" Momo said, fix on Risa's dress while Risa still preparing her computer.

Momo looked at James suspiciously as they both came in late.

"Why are you looking to me like that?" James asked Momo but she just brushed him off.

"I'm sorry again, Risa." James apologize to Risa and he went back to his seat.

"Is there something you're not telling me, Risa? Did he hurt you or something?" Momo asked.

"No! Nothing at all! We just bumped to each other earlier." Risa said to Momo and continue explain about what happened.

"It's my fault, Momo. It's alright. He helped me pick up my things. Thank you, James." Risa said, James smiled at Momo and she stop glaring at James.

A usual day in the company and Risa, always amazed on how kind her customers are.

By keeping herself cheerful always which makes her able to pacify her customer's frustration.

Being able to resolve their concerns were a great factor in work and most of all, the way she create a friendly conversation with them.

While Momo, always a strict educator to them, bringing out the best of them.

She believes that she is always right and done nothing wrong which you can see confidence in her but that's not really helping because she is always on their bottom performer.

"Risa, manage your call. Okay? It's almost lunch break and I'm so hungry." Momo said, sigh and stretch her arms upward.

Risa only nodded and check her wallet in her purse.

She found the wallet but she notice that her note was missing.

"Momo, my notes it's not in here!" Risa were surprised that she didn't saw her notes on her purse so she search on her station immediately but she can't seems to find it.

She punched in a rush for lunch break and tried to search for her notes again.

She ran into the ladies' room where went on her first break and asked the security near it but they said no on one saw a note like that.

Momo saw Risa so worried and frightened about her note.

"We're going to search for it together but first lets eat. I'll help you I promise." Momo said, Risa only nodded back but still restless finding it immediately.

It's been 2 days passed since Risa's notes lost. They seems can't find it anywhere so Momo decided to buy her another note for her to use temporarily in case her curse attacks.

Meanwhile in their company's parking lot. A man is walking, searching for someone whom he supposed to meet there.

He stop at a blue car. The driver opened up the car's window, wave at him and the man enter the car, sat on the passenger seat.

"Hello there. I brought you new information." As they closed the door and the car's window.
"Is this what you're telling me? A note?" The driver said and the man reach out the note and gave him.

"I don't provide information for free." The man said with a fierce look on his face, the driver sighed and handed out an envelop to him.

The man checked it and it has money inside. The man, then gave the note to the driver.

"You know what will happen to you if this is just a piece of trash." The driver warned the man. "You know I hate the people who waste my time." He added.

"What's her name?" The driver ask while flipping pages on the notes.

"Risa. Here is her photo." The man said, shows a picture of Risa and Momo together.

"Which one of them? I can see two girls." The driver ask and the man point the girl in the background.

"Okay. I will take care of these myself." The driver said, took out pictures from the notes and return the note back to the man.

The man get out of the car and happily smells the money inside the envelop.

Another day lapse as Risa is still worried about her missing note. She can't stop thinking about it as she feels a bad thing will happened when someone read it.

When Risa arrived at the office there were cops outside, they look at her and approach her.

"You are Risa." The officer said to her and she responded with a question. "Am i? Yes, I am Risa. Why did you ask sir? Did I made something bad?"

"I'm not asking if you are Risa, I am confirming the others that I found you already." The officer said and the cops approaches Risa.

"Please come with us." The officer said, Risa looked at him and tired to walk away but the cops surrounded her.

"What are you going to do if I declined?" Risa said and the officer pointed at Momo, who is approaching them.

"Should we talk to her instead?" The officer gave her a warning sign as the cops approach Momo.

"Risa!" Momo shouted and Risa smiled at her.

"Hey! What is this all about!?" Momo shouted, as she approach Risa but the cops block her.

"We are going with you. I don't want to be alone in there." Risa said and the officer nod back at her.

"Do you prefer to talk outside or inside your company?" The officer asked.

Risa doubtfully answered back with a question "Why are you giving me options?".

"Why? I just wanted you to be at ease. If you are thinking that we will do harm, then let's talk inside." The officer said and grab on Risa's arm.

The security at the entrance opened the door for them and officer asked the lady at the front desk to lend them a room.

They entered a small conference room with a large table in the middle.

The cops have Risa and Momo separated to each other and the officer went in drinking coffee.

"I love the taste of their coffee here." The officer said, Risa look at him seriously and Momo only looked at Risa, worried.

"Let's get direct to the point, we have work to do." Risa said.

"Why in a rush? I told them to excuse both of you." The officer said to them.

"I'm sorry for the late introduction. I am officer Ron. An executive officer from the Canadian embassy." Officer Ron said and pulls out his ID.

"That seems real. So, why are we here?" Risa asked seriously.

Momo tried to pull out her phone but the cops stopped her.

"Phones are not allowed for both of you." Officer Ron said and he slowly pulled out a note from his pocket.

Risa was surprised and speechless to see her note was with them. Momo then stood up, the cops grab her.

"Let me go! Why do you have that!?" Momo shout and tries to struggle with the cops.

"This a great note, it seems you both know what is this. Right?" Officer Ron asked while flipping through the pages

"Momo, calm down." Risa said, Momo sat back and the cops let her go.

"Okay? So you have my note. What about it? Risa asked Ron and he take a sip in his coffee.

"I just need to confirm few things about this note" Officer Ron said and Risa responded a straight face

Risa dare him by saying "Okay then, ask me anything Ron." 

Ron corrected her by saying back. "It's Officer Ron, you should learn to know your place."

"Your notes were seems familiar to me. They are telling me something. I used to work in Canada as detective and police officer. I'm going to ask you some questions so answer them straight and honestly." Ron continued. Risa look at Momo who is sweating.

"Could you explain me what are these?" What do you mean when you wrote them?" Officer Ron ask.

"Nothing. They were all just doodle." Risa said straightforwardly. Ron hardly banged the table with both of his hands.

"You're lying!" Ron shouted as Risa and Momo got nervous. They both don't now what he's going to do next.

"This one, this and this one are the crimes I've handled before but I never catch the culprits. That is why they threw me to serve in this embassy." Ron said and crushed his coffee cup.

"Don't lashed out your anger on us. It is your own loss if you are that incompetent. It is bad to blame others for what you lacked." Momo said. Officer Ron outrage over what Momo said.

"Shut up! You don't know what these cases meant to me!" Ron angrily said, he pulled his gun and pointed on Momo.

Other cops were about to pull their guns but Risa shouts,

"Stop! Please believe me. I know how angry you are, but killing her will make things worse. Not only for you but for me and Momo's family as well. So please let's calm ourselves down and talk. Okay?"

Ron hide his gun and Momo backed down on her seat.

"You're such a sweet talker, Risa. Did you practice that? Anyways." Ron calm himself, fix his uniform and continued.

"About the last 'doodle' on this note. It is about the explosion that happened last week. Is that right?"

"I've just read it in the news. Just as i told you, I only took down important part of it and tried to drew it, that's all." Risa replied. Officer Ron shows the note and pointed to the time on it.

Risa got alarmed as she realizes she noted the time on that day.

"So, Risa. What is this time for?" Ron asked and a sweat drops on the table from Risa.

Momo stands up and was about to say. "It was..."

"It was the time that the news got posted in MSN website. I also noted that." Risa said Momo felt relieved from what she said.

Risa dare the officer to look it on the website. Officer Ron instructed his comrades using a microphone attached on his uniform.

"Check the numbers. You are right, that it is time but if you are going to use 12-hour or 24-hour format, it doesn't make sense as the news said it was done in the evening, not in the afternoon or morning." Risa explained.

Officer Ron heard a confirmation from his comrades that what Risa explained were all true.

"Interesting! It seems you are right, Risa" Officer Ron said, seems convinced that they are all coincidence and what is noted on the news were all about Risa's notes.

Officer Ron laughs, Momo sat back and Officer Ron returned Risa's notes.

"You seem too read a lot of news. Eh?" Ron said and smiled at her.

"It seems, we are wrong about you. I'm sorry it was my mistake to bring you here." He added.
Risa knows that the officer doesn't want to believe her.

Risa also believe that their is no need for her to make the officer believe.

But then, Risa started to recall about how amazing and gentle her customers and felt thankful for working with them for 2 years working with such great environment.

"Risa, you are one the reason why I'm going to stay in this business."

"You seem to be a fine lady and I feel you have a heart made of gold. Do not work yourself too much."

"Your clients seem to love you, Risa. Look at these, they are saying that when they talked to you they felt that you cared for them."

She know that after this conversation they will leave her alone.

"You both can go now. Men, we are going to assist them back." Ron said, both Risa and Momo move and was about to go outside but Risa felt pressure.

Pressured that if she didn't tell them what is going on and no one can help her to figure out why she's cursed by these foresight.

She feels that she can trust Officer Ron and doesn't need to explain herself too much.
That is why she decided to tell the truth.

"Let's go back now, Risa." Momo happily said and Risa smiled at her.

"I'm sorry Momo, I think you need to go ahead." Risa said and Momo suddenly felt an urge to stop Risa.

"It was an ambush." Risa said and the 2 cops stop

"The soldiers were killed before they even got a chance to make a move." Risa continue.

"What are you talking about, Risa?" Momo asked then realized the reason why Risa eyes were looking far away the other night and suddenly cried when she approached her, she said...

"They all died."

Risa faced Momo and cried so hard. Momo ran towards to comfort her.

As Momo hugged her, Risa was blaming herself. "Momo! They all died! It's my fault!"

The officer froze looking at Risa, as they were shocked and at the same time freaked out on what Risa said.

"Arrest her!" Shouted by the officer and the cop rapidly places handcuffs on Risa.

Momo tries to stop them but the other cops stopping her.

On the other end, as calm as she can be, Risa knew it would happen but she was surprised about the officer's next words.

"Why are you arresting her!?" Momo cries out as she tries to struggle with the cops.

"Risa, you are arrested for being an accomplice to these crimes. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do to this point can be used up against you by the law." The officer said, instructing the two guards to bring Risa out.

"Wait! You can't do that to her! How can you arrest her, when in fact, she is here and the crimes were done in another country!?" Momo shouts, try to convince the cops that Risa is innocent but the cops won't budge on holding her arms.

Risa can't fight herself because she was stunned of what she heard and end up being taken away.

"Risa!!!"
