"A help from the Siren"

"What is he trying to do? Is he going to kill his daughter?" Judge Jabagat said.

"I'll call the police," Dr. Gomez said and Cristy and Judge Jabagat were left outside the room where they could still hear Georgina screaming.

"What should we do?" Cristy asked while checking if someone was watching her. Then, suddenly, Judge Jabagat asked her to cover her ears.

"Do you have earphones?" Judge Jabagat asks.

"I have why?" Cristy asks.

"Get it and Put that thing in your ear, quick!" Judge Jabagat said.

"But why?" Cristy asks again.

"Give me your phone!" Judge Jabagat asks, and Cristy immediately gives her phone while Judge Jabagat grabs her earphones.

"Now listen to this music, cuz I'll help your friend!" Judge Jabagat said.

"This song is cute. I love Bini, nice choice of song, huh!" Cristy said.

"Don't remove your earphones. I will let you know once everything is okay." Judge Jabagat said. Cristy just nodded in agreement while Judge Jabagat went to the front door where she could still hear Georgina screaming because of the pain and she started humming where those who heard it suddenly felt drowsy until they fell asleep. Even Dr. Nero felt sleepy when he heard Judge Jabagat's hum.

"Who is that? Stop that!" Dr. Nero said and suddenly the mistress of Darkness appeared.

"Nero the third holder of the scepter is here, she has the ability of a merfolk clan. You must finish her final transformation." Enigma said.

"Yes, Mistress." Answered by Dr. Nero and he quickly injects the serum he made into Georgina's arm and Georgina suddenly calms down and falls asleep again.

"Finally, the last part of her transformation is over." Saying Dr. Nero where the veins in Georgina's entire body suddenly disappeared at the same time, he falls asleep because of the song of the Siren.

Judge Jabagat looked at Cristy and she seemed to enjoy the music she was listening and she immediately approached her to say...

"You can remove the earphones from your ears. Gina and her father seem to be sleeping inside," said Judge Jabagat.

"Really? I heard you humming earlier and in fairness, you have a beautiful voice indeed." Cristy said.

"What? But how do you feel?" Judge Jabagat asks.

"Nothing, why?" Cristy asks.

"Nothing, and I have to go, Cristy, nice meeting you again. Once Gina is okay, let her know she can rest and be back next week." Judge Jabagat said.

"Sure thing, nice meeting you again Judge Jabagat," Cristy said but before Judge Jabagat left she grabbed the judge's arms and said.

"Judge Jabagat, help me to open the case of my sister again, please," Cristy said.

"I've heard the case of your sister, well let's talk about that which you can see me in my office, I'm sure Atty Georgina Gomez will be happy about this once we open the case." Judge Jabagat said.

"No, Gina will no longer be my lawyer at this time. I want someone, can you recommend who?" Cristy said.

"That's interesting, sure, I have someone that I can recommend." Judge Jabagat replied She was about to leave but she asked Cristy why,

"Out of curiosity, why you don't want Atty Gomez to be your lawyer?" Judge Jabagat asks.

"It's a long story, Judge, and Mainly I don't want to hurt my friend," Cristy said.

"Okay, see me in my office tomorrow and I'll inform the lawyer that I will recommend. I Have to go Cristy; you take care and see you tomorrow." Judge Jabagat said.

Meanwhile, In the kingdom of Ajax where Queen was celebrating her birthday, and all the guest was invited from different kingdoms.

"Nicky, move faster the Queen was waiting for those plates," Meriam said.

"Okay, Okay, I'm on it," Nicky said while carrying the plate that she would place on a long table where the celebration was about to start.

"Be careful of those plates Nicky, the visitor will be here anytime soon." Queen Nerisa said. While Nicky slowly arranges the plates on the table while Meriam and the royal chef of the castle bring the food.

"Thank you, guys, for helping me, and I am sure my friends will be here." Queen Nerisa said.

"Nicky, Senior Arnulfo will be here as well, I've heard that you had a crush on him?" Nerisa said and smiled at Nicky at the same time.

"No, my queen who told you that?" Nicky said while she was blushing As Meriam slowly left.

"Meriam, you tell to the Queen? That's so embarrassing!" Nicky said and she followed her friend Meriam.

"That's enough girls, thank you again and I will call you for help later," Nerisa said.

Going back to earth where Gina is awake and her friends visit her to check her condition including her best friend, Cristy.

"I am glad that you came Bessie," Georgina said.

"I am so happy that you are okay but where's your dad and your mom?" Cristy said.

"Mom and Dad talked earlier but it seems they decided to end their marriage because of me," Georgina said and Cristy hugged her.

"That's alright, besides doesn't mean they were separated Dr. Gomez and Dr. Nero don't care for you, know what your dad and your mom were so worried about you. anyway, I forgot, I have spoken to Judge Jabagat about the case of my sister." Cristy said.

"Did she open the case again? I hope she gave you mercy." Georgina said.

"Yes, she opened it again but I was asking for dif~" Cristy didn't finish what she was about to say when Leo approached them.

"How are you, Gina? I have some fruits that can help you to regain your strength. This was all fresh from our farm." Leo said and put the basket of fruits on the table.

"Thank you, Leo, and where have you been? Why is it you suddenly always disappear?" Georgina said.

"I was busy on the farm but luckily I have someone who can take care of my farm and now I will focus on the business that we have here in the city," Leo said.

"Excuse me, Gina and Leo. Mom is calling! I have to answer this." Cristy said.

"Sure, please say to Miss Julieta that I am okay and thank you for these delicious rice cakes," Gina said.

"After that Call Cristy let's eat these Lanzones and I have some apples for you I know that this is your favorite," Leo said and Cristy just gave him a smile.

THROWBACK, this is the time when Cristy went to Judge Jabagat's office.

"Please, have a seat, do you want some tea or coffee? I am sorry I am not a fan of juice or soft drinks. What do you want to drink?" Judge Jabagat asks.

"Maybe coffee is enough, thank you for your generosity," Cristy said.

"Wait a minute, you must try this coffee." Judge Jabagat said while she was preparing coffee for Cristy after she was done preparing the coffee she immediately handed a cup of tea in front of Cristy.

"Now, where are we? Hmmn! Yeah, let me call her first." Judge Jabagat said and she immediately dialed the number using the telephone beside her table.

"Hello, Tess can you come to my office, please? Thank you." Judge Jabagat said and smiled at Cristy.

"Now, how's the taste? Do you like it?" Judge Jabagat asks.

"Yeah, taste delicious and what type of coffee is this?" Cristy asks.

"That was my favorite as well, that the Kopi Luwak also known as Civet Coffee." Judge Jabagat said.

"Huh? I am not familiar." Cristy said.

"Civet coffee is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The cherries are fermented as they pass through a civet's intestines, and after being defecated with other fecal matter, they are collected. Asian palm civets are increasingly caught in the wild and traded for this purpose." Judge Jabagat explains.

"So, you mean this came from the poop of animals?" Cristy said.

"Yes, but only in Musang and we have that product here in the Philippines. We call this Kape Musang. But don't worry they are safe. I drink it every day." Judge Jabagat said while she saw Cristy smile at her and then the door opened to her office and she introduced the lawyer that she recommended to Cristy.

"This is Atty, Guadalquiver," Judge Jabagat said as she introduced the lawyer that Cristy asked for.

"And what happened on earth, why did you decide not to hire Atty Georgina Gomez as your lawyer?" Atty Guadalquiver said.

"This is a personal matter but if you won't help me, it's okay. Thank you." Cristy said and when she was about to leave. Marites stops her.

"We'll if you gave me a chance to prove that I am better than Gina, I will prove it to you." Atty. Guadalquiver said.

"Sounds like we have a deal!" Cristy said and she left and closed the door.

"That woman was arrogant!" Marites said.

"You may go now to your cubicle Tess, chop chop!" Judge Jabagat said that Atty Guadalquiver immediately left her office while she was thinking about Cristy which she remembers the time she used her powers.

"Really? I heard you humming earlier and in fairness, you have a beautiful voice indeed." Cristy said.

"Why was she not affected by my power? As far as I know, my only fellow sea creatures are the impervious ones and also those from other worlds." Judge Jabagat said.
