7:00 PM Unit 23, Y Apartment
A woman around her late 20s climbed the creaking stairs in the apartment, a tray in her hand, she was asked by her friends to take care of their child because they had to go to work.
As the sound went closer and closer to his room, the child's tears started to pour out, and when the woman knocked into the door, he was so scared that he peed himself. "Your mom asked me to bring food to your room, just leave it here after you finish it." The woman said in a caring voice. This made the child even more terrified, he hoped that was he had seen was wrong, but the woman bringing him food confirmed his suspicions; because his parents always called him when they're coming home late.
After half an hour, the twelve year old child decided to escape the apartment, and when he came out of his room, he saw a bowl covered with a plate, with a note at the side of it. When the child saw what's inside the bowl, his world shattered; it was his parent's fingers, their wedding rings still intact, made to simply look like the word 'HI'. The child bawled, he lost all hope, and cried himself to sleep; not expecting to wake up again.
6:45 PM Unit 1, Y Apartment
Water sprinkler on her hand, a lady on her sixties went on her room in all smiles; satisfied with the flowers and plants on her backyard, wondering if she actually has a green thumb as her crops always grew very healthy. As she closed the door, going into the living room, a man and a woman, both in their twenties, is kneeling in front of her. The elder's face soured immediately, she went into the kitchen to get something to relieve her stress: a bottle of whiskey and a pocket of cocaine.
"The child definitely saw them, he's still curled in his bed, his back facing the door." The video of the child shaking in fear on his bed was seen by the elder, she poured some whiskey on her glass and drank it in one go then said: "Get rid of that bastard immediately, you know what happens when you fail to do so." There was a glint of fear that appeared on the couple's eyes, they stood up and bowed to the old woman before they set off.
9:00 PM Unit 23, Y Apartment
"He must be really terrified, he didn't wake up even without drugs? Are you sure he's not just pretending to be asleep?" The man asked her partner after seeing the child still peacefully asleep with his new clothes when the woman suddenly broke down after seeing the child's face. "Why are we even doing this? Is it really worth it to kill their child when their last words was to take care of him?" The tears that the woman held back for a long time poured out, the guilt was eating her up. The man adjusted his cap to cover his face and in a solemn voice he said: "We're already criminals when we put the potassium on the first tenant's drink, and throwing up after every kill is the only way we can assure that we're still human." The woman hugged her partner and consoled him, determined, she said: "Let's stop making ourselves suffer, maybe it's about time we accept that our daughter is not going to wake up, let's just put a stop to this madness and surrender ourselves to the police." The man hugged her tight and accompanied her to cry.
The couple decided to bring the child into an orphanage and went to the hospital to have a last look on their daughter, after crying for a few minutes, the couple called the police; saying that there's a serial killer on their apartment. The police immediately went to the said address and secured the area.
11:45 PM Unit 1, Y Apartment
The police knocked multiple on the door multiple times, but someone from the room next to it came out instead; a couple, both in their late twenties, came out of the unit beside Unit 1. "I'm the one who called you here officer." The woman said before she opened the door to the first unit. "I'm her daughter." She said and guided the police to the living room where an old woman in her sixties has passed out from alcohol, a bottle of whiskey in her hand, and leftover cocaine at the side of her nose. The policemen were shocked to see a harmless-looking old lady doing drugs but that's not why they came there for, someone reported for a serial killer.
