It's now 7:00 in the evening. And I'm now walking towards the abandoned house, the place me and Jack are supposed to meet. Jack didn't specify what time that we're going to meet, so I'm either late or too early.

Entering through the front door for the 2nd time is still the same, the dark and demonic aura is still here and I can literally feel it. And after going up to the 2nd floor using the stairs has no difference either, it's still giving me chills and makes my skin hair rise..
The room where I first interacted with Jack still has some light coming out from it.

"I guess he's already here..", I muttered to myself.

My heart is beating fast again, and I'm either scared or determined. But even if I'm scared, I still have to do this, for the sake of everyone and my life..

I opened the door on the room, and the candles were lit up and it seems like the candles that are lit up are also the same candles that were lit up before. I don't see Jack but I see the chair in the center.

"Good thing you came, Watson."

After hearing a creepy yet familiar voice from above, I looked up and saw Jack in a creepy position where he's clinging on the corner top of the wall.

"What in the..."

"Scared? Can't blame you, I am scary in terms of horror. I am the Reaper after all.", he said while still clinging above.

"If you want me to stay here and listen to your proposal then come down here, if you don't then I'll leave and get some sleep on my apartment.", I said.

"Fine, Fine.."

After Jack said that, he let his hands go from the walls and fell down and landed without difficulty.

"You want to get straight to business huh..", he said as he walked past me.

"I want this to get over with quickly.", I replied.

"You seem to forgot that we're doing this for a month right? Or is it perhaps you're doing something behind my back?"

"I'm not doing anything behind your back, I only want this to end quickly today because I'm tired."

"Is that so?", he said as he looked at me with menacing aura.

I'm not doing anything behind his back, I can try but this bracelet is worrying me. It might go off if I do some plans against him, so I'd rather not dare to do anything.

"Looks like you're telling the truth so let's get straight to business.", he said as he sat on his chair.

"So what are we going to do?", I asked.

"Not too simple, yet not too difficult either. It might going to give you a bit of trauma though.."

"Just say it."

"If you're that pushy then I'll tell you then."

He bent his back down as he looked at me seriously then put his hands down while holding each other and said..

"We're killing people."

"Huh...?"

"You wanted to get straight to business right? Then that's it, we're killing people."

Killing people?? I may be a bad type of detective who tortures and beats people up but I've never killed anyone in my life!

"You're confused aren't you? Then allow me to explain."

He suddenly stood up and went towards a barricaded window and looked straight outside.

"By killing people, we're only going to kill the criminals. Since that's what you do right?, Imprisoning them.. But what if they're ruling the prison instead of being punished? Are they going to change? No, right? Then that's why we're only going to kill the criminals."
