But because time passed by and they forgot each other, Adrian became an objective officer towards Jake and Charles. He even blamed the burning down of the truck to Charles. Adrian calls it arson and a call to making money out of it. There he goes blaming it all on Charles while investigating the case.

As they trace the actual perpetrator, they rekindled the friendship lost through time. After all, they realize that they’re still friends and nothing will change about it. However, it wasn’t arson after all. It’s a case of an unfavorable past between Charles and his worker Ted (Mario Perez). It was Ted who burned the food truck down as revenge towards Charles for firing him.
