Miss Chainsaw (Completed)

Chapter 12

Xerine's POV

"Yes. I'll be gone for more than one week," I said to my main staff and employees. "I am going to take a break."

Julius looked at me. "Ma'am, you need security."

I laughed sarcastically. "No need. Just take care of my plants here. Don't dare to disappoint me. Plants are important."

I lifted the pot of Bromeliads and kissed it. "Take care, babies."

I looked at them one by one. "Let me rest for a while. I will come back when I'm finally fueled up."

They all nodded so, I exited my own office to get my things at home.

Shinee's POV

"There are pieces of evidence already?" I asked the policemen who were in charge of the case about a big-time businessman.

"Yes." They nodded and gave me a file. "These are the only evidence that we are allowed to show. Others are still on the lab."

I started reading the file with pictures. "The forensics said that Mr. Yachenco, the businessman, was killed first. Even his guards were killed before the building got burned down."

"Is this connected to other crimes?"

It's been a few days since I got a good night's sleep. Mr. Yachenco's family hired me as their lawyer to help them with this case.

"Well, the pawnshop owner, Mr. Arnold Teng can't be found." An investigator entered the office.

"What?"

"There's no sign if he's dead or alive. His family doesn't know where he is."

I just nodded my head while listening to them. "But there is a connection between Mr. Yachenco's case, the headless man's case, and the restaurant owner's case."

One of my brows raised. "What?"

"The weapon used." He cleared his throat. "The weapon used was a chainsaw."

My forehead creased after hearing that. A chainsaw? What kind of killer will use a chainsaw? That person must be insane.

"Our investigations clarified that the weapon used was a chainsaw, but different chainsaws were used for each crime."

I nodded again and listened carefully. "The killer must be a psychopath or something."

I stood up and gave them a nod. "Thanks."

I went out of the office. My phone suddenly rang. I smiled as I saw my boyfriend's number. "Hello?"

"Where are you?" He asked.

I just smiled. "Why? I am here at the police station. You know, about the multiple killings."

"Let's have dinner. I won another trial." His voice is very serious, but I know that he's smiling.

"Okay. I'm free tonight."

"I am already outside the police station." He chuckled.

"Already?" I giggled. "Stop using the GPS thingy."

"I'll wait for you here. I love you."

Marcio's POV

"Where is she going?" I asked myself while monitoring Xerine's car.

I am also inside my car, but I have a driver. I am just looking at a tablet where I could monitor Xerine's car.

I am doing all of this just to have her again. Call me crazy I don't fucking care. I waited for too long. I wasted so many years. I am not going to hold back now.

"Sir, she already stopped." My driver said.

I just nodded my head. We also stopped in a gas station. I don't know where we are heading, but the place is starting to look odd. Something is already off.

There are so many trees near the road. Stores and houses are starting to decrease. Is she going to have camping alone? Hiking, maybe?

I don't know. No one will do something like that alone. Unless she wants to hide something or gonna do something that she can do when she's alone.

I just watched her car that I can see through my car's window. I bought a new car for this. I don't want her to realize that I am stalking her. That's a big shame to me.

I will continue following her. When we're already alone, maybe we could talk. I want to clear things out. I want to get her back. I want to spend another year with her.

Many years passed, I haven't got to have time with her. If this is my chance, I am going to grab it with both hands.

Xerine's POV

I smirked while glancing at my rearview mirror. Someone is following me. A luxurious car, huh? Who could that be?

I just continued driving calmly. I am going deep into the forest. That's my real haven. That's the place that I belong to.

My car stopped as I reached my destination. I carried my backpack and golf bag. I am not going away without one of my chainsaws. Things are getting exciting when I am with my buddies.

Good thing I already wore the right clothes a while ago. I am going to my treehouse. Yes, I have a treehouse in the middle of the forest.

I started walking after leaving my car in a safe spot. While walking, I can still feel that someone is following me.

This forest is not famous. I chose this because it's a good place. Is someone already here? Why is someone following me? Is that person wants to play or what?

I sat on a big tree's root. I gulped down the water from my tumbler. I walked for almost an hour, but there was still the feeling that someone was following me.

I will let that dimwit be. I am here to relax with the big trees. I am not here to play. I am not going to waste my precious time.

I walked again. I can't stay here. It's already three in the afternoon. I am not planning to sleep here unless I am already inside my treehouse.

After some time of walking, I already smiled. I am finally in front of a Narra tree. I saw a wooden ladder on its trunk.

"Hey there." I looked up and saw my treehouse. "Home sweet home."
