Flashes of camera.
Gasps coming from anyone who'd look at the scene.
Voice of cops asking people to step back.
I gulped and I looked around.
I saw Tyler talking to detectives and Newt scanning everything he can see.
There were bloods on the floor.
The victims's organs were missing.
She died with one of her eyes had a stick stuck on it and they were wide open, as if what happened will never put her to sleep even in the afterlife.
Her tummy was opened and when we came, there were rats eating her. If the killer took out her organs or the rats ate them, we had no idea at all.
"This is...utterly...tragedy...." Newt murmured, scanning everything. I joined him in his search.
"Kailan pa itong bangkay na 'to?" I asked him.
"No idea," he said. "Mamaya palang natin malalaman sa autopsy."
He then sighed.
"They started again," I said. "After days of stopping from killing someone, they are on the killing spree again."
"But what if hindi talaga sila tumigil?" asked by Newt. "What if marami na silang pinatay ulit pero kagaya nito, hindi pa natin nadidiskubre?"
He sighed hard.
"This is why we need Heinz," he then said.
I felt a pierce in my heart.
Joining back will be a torture to Heinz emotionally. But in order to win this, we need to win him back.
Suddenly, what happened yesterday flashed back on my mind.
"I did it..." he said, and his tears fell. "I save you..."
It brought chills down my spine.
Pumasok lang daw si Newt sa comfort room para maghilamos pero nang lumabas siya ay wala na sa higaan niya si Heinz.
Ayon kay Heinz, agad siyang tumakas nang mapanaginipan niya akong nasagasaan. Mabilis siyang nakarating dahil sa labas lang ng office namin ang lugar ng posibleng krimen.
Hanggang ngayon napapa-isip ako.
If Heinz did not pass out and did not dream of us, would I still be alive? I wonder. I really do.
"I found something!" Newt exclaimed.
As we all looked at it, at the back of the victim, there were words crafted by a knife.
"I'm always in between. I watch over you."
"Fuck!" Newt exclaimed, standing up.
The authorities went to us and examined what we discovered.
Just then, medias came to us and in a blink, flashes of camera blinded my sight.
"Ano pong masasabi ninyo sa krimen?"
"May leads na po ba kayo?"
"Ano pong plano ninyo?"
"Tingin n'yo ho ba sindikato ang may gawa nito?"
"Any message po sa mga taong nasa likod nito?"
Newt and I stepped back, didn't notice the number of reporters surrounding us. We tried to avoid but we were cornered. They were even shoving their mics on our faces and Newt and I looked like we were being harrassed.
