CHAPTER 1: introducing the characters…
A black limo drove into the parking lot ,different black cars followed it forming an array .As the men highlighted from the vehicles they were all dressed in black, their faces were not revealed being covered by sun shades . As the figure highlighted, the men formed a pathway,It was Tiffany Equisha, a renowned journalist in California. The journalists started to get their way; it was really difficult to catch a glimpse .
As she walked past the crowds her heels made gentle funny sounds,though filled with spectators the sounds of her heels couldn't be mistaken . She was wearing a short black skirt and loose button white shirts with a black blazer. Her lips were laid with deep red lipstick which made her radiant skin glow. As she winked her eyes and snapped her hands ,coincidentally all the men and the crowd disappeared like thin air leaving Tiffany alone in the parking lot.
Walking into the hallway, she could feel people's attention all over , she was sure if eyes could kill she would have been long dead for sure . Plastering a fake smile ,she opened her door and walked into the office.
**********************************
High school in California.
Yh, there he was the most handsome and brilliant dude in clamiga high school. He was a mixture of perfection as his curly hair rested on his shoulders and his small pink lips formed the shape of a heart.He was damn perfect ,gosh! girls drilled over him but he cared less . Jake Milition ,his close friend, they were practically inseparable.
JAKE'S POV
He was in deep thoughts, wondering what he could be thinking,I stood at the corner of the door observing him. It's been 5 minutes and he hadn't noticed my presence, "ROBERT,ROBERT " this time around I called harder and louder.
"What," he responded with fear written all over his face. Dude you better tell me what's going on, you know a problem shared is half solved ." nope it isn't" he countered me even before i concluded my sentence. The look written on my face wasn't good and I think he got it so …. He just avoided eye contact.
The awkward silence between us lasted for about two minutes and I was beginning to lose it. This whole two minutes lasted like hours. It was getting unbearable.
"Hey, I'm sorry bro, it's just that I care " I talked to him as gently as I could, gently patting his back .
" Okay i think i get it , if you don't want to talk about it " i put on a fake smile after saying those words Simeontanusely getting on my feet .
"It really isn't about that, " huh! My face turned to a frown . Finally, my heart made a quick leap but I still remained my firm look." I just feel I could disturb you by sharing" he continued.
I had almost reached the exit when i heard him say something
My heart froze ……" what",my mouth fell agape, i turned around on hearing that, staring at him.
CHAPTER 2 : the shock
As Tiffany sat down to take lunch, she had opened her flask sitting comfortably on the leather chair . Her fork filled with pasta was about to reach her mouth when she heard a knock on the door ."damm it" she whispered in a low tone dropping her food back to the flask but still holding the fork with her left hand.
"Come in ", she remained as calm as possible, unaware about the fork in her hand . As the door opened her whole body electrified seeing the figure before her, the fork dropped to the tiles leaving a sharp sound behind . .She tried pressing the alarm button but it wasn't working. Beginning to get frustrated tiny drops of sweat were dripping down her head ,"darling the ac is on '' he said, having a dangerous smirk on his face, his deep fierce voice was void of emotions and his face was full of darkness .
"Don't come near me" she responded, moving an inch backward as he tried to come closer . dropping every substance on her way keeping him off . Her face was filled with tears lining from her eye to her nose. "It's of no use darling, the room is soundproof "as he responded with a dark fierce voice which accompanied a loud laughter filled with danger.
CHLOE'S POV
As i opened the door , i found her sitting on the floor covering her ears with both hands,
Her face was covered in tears as she closed her eyes, muttering some words which I couldn't hear .
I gently tapped her shoulders "lemme go" she responded sobbing still not opening her eyes. more tears began to flow.
" Hmmmmmmm "....chole thought to herself.
High school in California
I said i have a leukemia he said in a quiet voice bending his head sobbing quietly, "i have cancer " the tears rushed down his eye, i got closer to him
I'm here for you buddy , no matter what,I would stay by you hun!
I don't wanna die of cancer buddy , I don't wanna die. He was shaking his head from left to right .."it's gonna be fine ," he responded , patting him on the back,pulling him into a tight hug.
CHAPTER 3 :why does the past hunt so much
Tiffany's office.
Hey ,bae, as she heard my voice ,she gently opened her eyes and slowly dropped her hands from her ears still sobbing quietly and bowing her heads staring at the floor.
"I can't do this chole , i don't think i can "she responded sniffing her snuts still sobbing
I bent down to the floor where she was seated , "you can , you can" I gently responded while holding her hands fixing all my attention .
"Get up" signaling with my hands,sluggishly she got up to her feets.
I gave her a white handkerchief to wipe her puffy red eyes. She slowly took it from me, still avoiding my gaze .
Listen to me your past doesn't define your present, you got to choose
"If it doesn't then why is it interfering in my life?
Why does it keep hunting?
Why does it never leave since it's in the past ?
Whyyyy! She responded falling back on the floor sobbing.
She kept soliloquizing while banging her fists on the floor. It started to bleed ,so I got up to get first aid ."Let me take a look '' I responded, trying to check the injury.
No ,I'm fine she responded by throwing the box back at me . I'm fine ,she was shaking her head while the tears kept dropping,momentarily closing her eyes.
You need therapy, staring at her eyeballs. I'm calling a therapist…..
"NO" let's just go home ,she repeated, wiping her tears with her palm.
**************
Days passed like months and months like years .It been 7 years since he died.
Flashback : Roberts funeral
He took shaky steps towards an open filled area in school
He glanced past everyone until his gaze finally settled on the framed picture positioned at the center of the large room
Robert's handsome face filled the picture and he looked so happy .Jake approached the picture pushing everyone that stood in his way aside .
Suddenly, loud laughter filled the room, surprising Tiffany and Chloe who were present.
Chole furrowed her eyebrows looking as perplexed as everyone else in the room
👬 why was he laughing?
👬what's so funny?
👬someone just died shouldn't he be crying
👬what's going on , who is this psycho
Words flew past Jake's ears he didn't care less as he continued laughing like a mad person .
Jake stopped laughing and he pulled out chocolates, video games and headphones dropping it down at the edge of the picture
Normal people brought flowers for the deceased or maybe he wasn't normal?
Robert i brought your favorite, i know you are allergic to chocolates but you take it every time
I'm sorry for leaving you when you needed me the most , how are you ?Are you lonely over there?Is it cold ? Buh I'm sorry for not being there. I was busy in a club. He bowed his head momentarily. I remember your last statement you were afraid of dying from that illness that cost you so much pain
Jake sunken into deep breath balling his fists his voice deepened than before , i swear by your grave if you were really murdered i would make that psychopath pay dearly for hurting you
He was back into reality ….
***************
Through the years ,she supported me through thick and thin. I finally went through therapy and found my life back .I never knew I could experience such joy and peace as it was a load lifted .It is in the past and that's why it should never interfere in the present. I got hope, liberty, freedom and became a free being because I had been liberated from that dark shadow that sucks.
**********************
CHAPTER 4: the confession.
"Hey Jake , I have a confession to make" .He spotted the message from Sophia, one of his old colleagues in high school.
As he followed the address he was led to a dark alley which gave a path way to an abandoned warehouse
*************
THE STATION ..
Mr kim's office
"The murder of 7 years ago is back" as those words came out from their boss,they all looked at one another in astonishment "who was gonna handle this case " Emmma thought to herself.
Emmmma and quila are handling this case ,his face was keen on some documents, which weren't clearly revealed.
You would be working with journalist "chole and tiffany " undercover .As both young detectives stepped out of the office ,they giggled with excitement as they both entered the world of imagery.
The pictures of the victims were placed carefully on the table examined by both detectives. They had something in common: they were all students and……
"Quila '' Emma called look , she was pointing at one of the pictures they all had hair loss before they died too. They started to check the autopsy records but nothing was performed. The victims' guardian insisted no autopsy should be carried out.
One thing was sure and certain whosoever were killing this student is an inner body
He knows the perfect timing,how to strike and when to strike . The only evidence to find out who was behind the scene was to find that body before the murder thinks of disposing of it .
Chole and Tiffany came in time , the four drew a plan map as they split to get everything done. Everyone was a suspect and no one had to be trusted.
After a few hours they all met back on the spot , Chloe went undercover as a cleaner in the high school the murder had taken place . Something was off,as everyone doesn't seem to care about the murders taking place . "I couldn't get my hands on the footage, it's been tampered with " what , everyone was shocked, but i found something she brought out her phone.
As for me, I went to the crime scene, the body had been bagged and sent to the mog, "by who" the 3 who looked at quila in shock, I found an empty plastic bottle. I think it could be of help , "how can an empty bottle help in looking for a murderer? '' Tiffany responded, looking pissed off.
" Emma and i went to the mog, no body was dropped " tiffany responded, but i think he forgot something the footage in the street, they all had a little smile on their faces representing their ray of hope .They carefully watched , "fuck,the figure's face isn't realved,"they all stared at the empty bottle "it was poison". The poison the murder had used to kill every one of his victims but this time around he made a mistake.
Every victim he killed had an illness and were students but this victim is a college student without any medical issue ."I guess this victim knew too much, that's why she had to die " quila shoved in giving a scoff . "She wasn't part of the plan, " Emmma added.
The phones of the detectives beeped "GAME OVER"
"What" the four gasped in shock , as they followed the address that led to the dark alley , they called for backup
****************************
They were now on the rooftop , Tiffany spotted that familiar face "JAKE" she called out covering her mouth. I thought you were dead , she took a step forward wanting to hug him, a hand stopped her holding her arms firmly ."he is the murder we came to take " chole replied her with a firm look .
Her eyes betrayed her and fresh tears began to fall ," no no "
Hey " ,calling out to no one in particular. I didn't do anything wrong, I just prevented them from dying from their illness . That's all I did , I'm a savior, he said laughing like a menace . He was afaird of dying , they were hopeless. I gave them hope allowing them to stay in a better place.
"No you didn't , you are a psychopath who derives pleasure in hurting others ``why Jake , why! Did you turn out like that monster? Even if you needed help mentally, you could ha….. More tears were falling as she sobbed loudly, her cries echoed .
I want to end it all, he took the man who made him a monster jumping off the rooftop
********************
Death…
This was the path he chose , one thing he knew was that death was the end of every living thing , he was grateful to meet a friend like Robert who loved him as his own life , he was also happy to see his sister tiffany after many years, though he never wanted their reunion to be like this .
His face finally turned to a smile knowing that he beat the monster in his own game.he was finally happy to have met a girl like chole who could help his sister improve mentally.
He took a final gaze at the rooftop looking at Tiffany's sad face, Chloe and the two detectives .Everyone least expected his last move.
Jake! Tiffany was about to jump down to save her brother, chole wrapped her hands on her waist making the grip really tight .
Jake , she stretched her hands but it was impossible in the real world , they weren't indian movies.
He was gone .
No , no, no jake!
She blanked out
2 years later **********
Though I missed Jake, one thing I was sure of was that he was in a better place.
Hmmmmn .
One day we would meet again and Jake would come back for me.
