THE WITNESS

Part 4

There he stood a tall figure with all black attire and a black mask

Felix POV
I stood there frozen not even realizing that this person was staring at me with only his eyes visible. He was tall with a slim figure and all black clothing. I felt the shiver go down my spine as he began to look me up and down. My mind was telling me to RUN but my legs weren't moving, I made eye contact with him which then I noticed he had the most beautiful eyes. They were sharp and captivating almost like thorns on a beautiful rose. before he finally decided to turn around and run towards the street and disappear. It finally hit me that I had to call the cops and I had to do it fast, I had no idea what he did or if my neighbor was okay. My only objective was to get them here.

What felt like the longest 5 minutes of my life. I see the red and blue lights appear.. My mind went blank as I started to reminisce about the man in the mask, It was something you would only see in a terrifying movie or a crime show that you thought "this could never happen to me" as I tuned out the scene around  me drifting into deep thought. I didn't even realize a detective was next to me trying to get my attention.

"SIR are you alright ? Are you the one that called ?" His voice was very loud and concerned. I finally snapped back to reality "Um yes I'm the one that called" I said in a monotone voice.
"My name is Detective Christopher Bang, I wanted to ask you a few questions"
I sat there not really knowing if it was worth getting involved. I understand something happened but I didn't want trouble.
"Yes I can answer some questions" I said
"Thank you. So can you tell me your eye witness of the events" he got his notebook and pen and started to write down my version of events.
"So then I saw the this figure in her lawn attempting to leave, then he ran towards the Main Street, I didn't see where exactly he went but I know it was that way" I then pointed to the main road.
"You saw the man"? He said in almost a confused tone. I didn't want to say it because then my involvement would be greater but I just let it slip.
"Can you give me a description of the man" he started to look at me with a proceeding look.
"He was tall maybe 5'10 and had a lean figure.. he was wearing a ski mask and gloves and I could only see his eyes" I tried hard to remember each detail but it seemed like his eyes were the only thing I could describe.
"Any Tattoos"
"No"
"Any distinguishing marks"
"No"
I then began to ask a question that didn't occur to ask until now
"What happened ? Is Ms. Choi okay" I said almost a whisper
"Sir - "Felix my name is Lee Felix" .. "Well Felix I'm sorry to inform you but Ms. Choi was murdered and it's very important that we get to the bottom of this"
I couldn't even process her death before he proceeded to ask more questions.
"Can you tell me Felix.. was Ms. Choi having any problems with anyone or did she mention someone trying to hurt her?"
I tried to think but in all reality I hardly ever talked to her. I would see her and the conversations we did manage to have were short. A simple "hi and how are you".
"No I didn't really speak to her like that and if I'm being honest I don't really know too much about her, she usually kept to herself" I said.

"Well Felix, I know it's a lot right now but I'm going to give you my card. If you think of anything.. don't be afraid to call me" he gave me a card with his name and number.

"I will" I said.
