CHASE-

Inside this station with blue and red lights that indicate dignity, law, and superiority is where I'm waiting. The navy blue uniforms of the police officers make them look more intimidating and respected.

The gloomy feelings I had right now makes everyone put their distance not to attract my attention. Clenching my fist because of anger and frustration, who am I going to blame for this misfortune.

I am Chase Alexander Griffin, a first-rank officer in Navy Seal.

After the approval of my request to be dismissed from my military duty, I went home to see my brother. The happy moments that I expect to share with him were drained to hell after I received the news of his death.

"My love, Chase! "

That's the first sentence when I read his last letter in my mailbox, the introduction that seems so sweet but hides the most excruciating pain.

The last letter that I will receive until the last day of my sunset, the word "love" that I will no longer hear from his lips.

The Oro Rosa County is where Caleb stay, working as a teacher in one of the university. The cause of his death is unknown, weird, and questionable. He was found dead in his office a small spot of dried blood on his neck near his veins.

No blood found in his system as if it was dried up by someone or something, but there is no wounds or cut that cause his death or any reasons that might lead the police to a proper investigation.

No sign of force and bruises only the two small holes on his neck, autopsy can't explain the case either.

"I'm sorry Mr. Griffin, we are sad about teacher Caleb's passing. We will call you if we have a new lead or any update about the case, for now, why don't you go home and prepare for his burial? Call us if you need help with anything, we promised to help you. " The chief officer release a sigh after he said those words.

My mind is clouded with anger that I forgot about the burial of my brother. Leaving the station without a word, I feel the pity stares and confused eyes from people I meet on the street.

**********

Entering the house that was owned by Caleb, the designs and colors suites him. The pastel blue color of the wall and beige curtain seem connected to the black and white sofa and center table.

The white porcelain vase that has a fresh white rose in it, I'm sure he put it there just days ago. The magazines of every school he visited and photo album, have many pictures of him smiling, frowning, excited, candid, and reading.

He is a heartthrob, a head-turner they said. Kind and respectful man but why he met a cruel death if all he shows in this town is pure heart and soul.

My heart clenched as I saw the last picture,

"Somewhere down the road, I meet this ugly man! I miss you love! " the words were written on the back of the photo.

I let out a loud cry as I fix my eyes on his face if only I came back earlier maybe it didn't happen. Maybe you are still with me now...

My trembling body and never-ending pain are suffocating.

"I promise, I will give you justice. I will find out who did this to you and I will let them taste the pain, twice of what I felt right now. " I caress the picture one more time and close the photo album.

My eyes became heavy, sleepiness didn't visit me this past few days. I think now is the right time to take a short rest, maybe in my dreams, I will saw the person that I am going to kill, or maybe I will never wake up again. We will cross the road together, hand in hand until we reach the dead end.

*********

Two boys kicking and the ball at each other, wearing a bright smile like the sun. When suddenly the ball halt in between them, they stare at each other and laugh together.

"Hey Caleb, what will you do if I die? " it made Caleb look at the boy and smile.

"I will follow your love, you will never be alone in this world or another world Chase! " Caleb answered hugging his brother tightly and put a light kiss on his forehead.

"How about you? What will you do if I die? " Caleb asks, running his finger on his brother's hair.

Chase looks up to see him, he is about to speak when his brother slowly fading in front of him.

"Caleb! CALEB! CALEB!! "

The phone rings that made me jolted, waking up in such a dream, a beautiful nightmare.

The phone rings for the second time again, I quickly pick it up and tap the answer button when I saw the 'chief officer' on the screen.

"Yes hello? " I answered in a groggy voice, taking a deep breath to prepare myself for the good or bad news.

"Mr. Griffin, the funeral home called us that teacher Caleb's body is ready for burial. We already settle the cemetery, it's up to you when are you going to do the ceremony for him. " the man said in his gentle voice.

"Can we do it today? I want him to rest now. He suffered a lot already." I answered calmly.

It's a lie! I want to keep my brother's body but I can't start my investigation if I do that. I need to catch the culprit as soon as possible so that I can answer his question already.

"What will you do if I die? "

Brother, I will bring justice with me when I meet you there!.

At Castillo Rojo (red castle)

"My Lord! " servant came bowing his head and waited for a signal from the man sitting on a throne for him to speak.

Silence followed as the man holding a glass of red liquid lift up his head to look at the servant.

"Hablar, mi sirviente! (Speak, my servant!)" The ventrue speak.

"He is dead my lord! They held his funeral today! " The servant lowers his head as the hiss from the man in the throne resounded around them.

"Carlos! " the man called his right hand in a Spanish accent. Giving everyone a vibe that their king is drawing his sword silently.

"Su Alteza! (Your highness!)" Carlos bow his head as he came to the front of the throne.

"Vamos alli! Quiero verlo por ultima vez! (Let us go there! I want to see him for the last time!)" The ventrue stand from his throne, everyone that present before him bow down and waited as he leave like a cloud of dust in the wind.
