"BANG" the gun echoes as the hero shoots his enemy in the movie that I was watching. Im happily eating my chicken wings and I'd give the bones to my cat. Just 2 hours before, Wesley literally shoots out ketchup on the fake gun he was holding into my forehead. I gasped as he laugh hard and I just stand there awkwardly. "YEEEEHAAAAA" he screams. Getting pissed I threw my slippers as he runs off which is the most asian thing I've ever done. Fucker acted like he isn't the type of person to fuck other people's wife. I tried to wash my face but the asshole put something in the ketchup which made my face look really red.

I know that in the past days, I've witnessed strange shits in this neighborhood but I won't allow it to affect my mental health so I try to be happy to get my mind off of things. It's a new day, it's 7am and I changed my clothes because I've decided that It was the best to hand the blood stained shirt to a forensic expert to see if it matches the blood of the chopped head. I contacted my parents lawyer to help me with it and asked him a favor not to tell my parents. I told him everything I known on the phone and at first he was against it. I known this lawyer since I was a kid because he was also a family friend. We talked long on the phone for God knows when and we meet up, gave him the blood stained shirt and he went off. I didn't expect at all for a positive result and I thought that it might be just the blood of some dead fish.

Amelia didn't deserve to die brutally and I'd often pity her cat. The day went on normally as I spent hours on my computer doing some labelling, drawing and designing. I stand up and did some good stretch. I went downstairs to see that my cat was up to and then I played with it and fed it.

The sun was a about to set and it was a bit windy so It was the perfect weather for me to do a little bit of jog. I changed into my sweatpants and I headed through the door. My cat was strangely active since it lost some weight and like a dog and it was always following me. I jogged and what I'd do is run on the sidewalk since just like what I said the area I live in is massive. After some turns I noticed a boy who seemed like the oldest son of Alice sitting on the stairs of their house.

He was wearing an oversized shirt with huge eyeglasses that seemed like to fall off his face. He seemed to be staring at my cat so I stopped right in front of him and said hi. "U- uhmm.... He... Hello" the boy said. I sensed that his quiet shy and It is typical in adolescent growth. "Do you want to play with my cat? I said. His smile beamed from his sad expression and I handed him my cat. The cat was a bit hesitant but thankfully it played with the boy. I sat beside the boy and I drank my water. "Th- tha....thank...y-....ou" said the boy. I smiled at him and responded "no worries, play with it while you can. It's getting late now" The boy was slowly getting back to his sad expression and me being asian I have no idea how to comfort a kid. I laughed when I remembered that I'd always ignore my sibling newborn kids everytime they were to hand it to me. I'll never think of babies to be "cute" when all it does is scream and cry at 3 am. I might sound like an asshole but hey we live in a free country where anyone has their own likes and dislikes.

Anyway, the boy played with it some time and suddenly Alice opened the door with a angered expression but when she saw me she immediately smiled. "Oh well hello there, I regret to say but Im gonna have to ask you to leave now, my son's tutor is waiting for him"  her mother said. The boy was about to cry and he handed my cat to me.

He walked past me and the wind suddenly blew strong and It lifted the boys shirt and from what I saw his back was really red and it had patches of bond aid. It had marks like if his back was slashed by some kid of a whip. Shocked, I stand up and grabbed the wrist of the boy. He gasped and looked back at me. His eyes told me that her mother was doing something wrong to him but I knew I had to do something. "Hey, uhm... What was your name again?" I said while I smiled. The boy gave me a confused look but thankfully he responded "uhm..it...it's..Na..than"
"I'll see you again Nathan, only if your mother allows it." I said. "Sorry but we will go in now" his mother responded. She grabbed the other hand of his son and I let go as I saw the door closed.

I was walking on my way home with my cat as I wonder what might have happened to that boy. I suddenly got a phone call and it was from my lawyer. "I hate to admit it but you were right, the blood did match and I've already called the police" I heard the sound of the police siren as 2 cars swiftly passed by.

I run as I followed the police cars and when I arrived, the people were out of their houses as all watched the police barged in the young couples house. They quickly hand cuffed the wife but the husband didn't hesitate to fight back "GET YOUR HAND OFF OF HER!" He screams. A cop quickly whipped his gun and screamed "HANDS IN THE AIR" and the couple were pushed inside the police car. I went closer but was pushed out as the police were spreading the yellow line that says "DO NOT CROSS" around the house. We were all then told to go home and the people were more curious and started asking a bunch of questions on what exactly is happening.

Much as I want to see what the shit is happening I just went home. I went to watch the remaining episode of some old series to help me stop from overthinking the things that happened today. Feeling tired, I laid down and fell asleep as the sound of the tv echoed in the background.

I woke up as the sunlight was burning my eyes and the tv was still talking. I sat up and got a missed call from my lawyer and so I called him back. "Hello?" I said. The phone rang for a few seconds and lawyer told me everything that happened. He knew one of the police who went inside the couple house and so it's where he got the information. The police rummage through the entire house and on the dark basement, they found a bloody axe covered in a black shirt. They noticed the freezer and they destroyed the lock by shooting it. On the top layer it was a bunch of ice and frozen fish but as they went deeper there it was. Frozen body parts was found as the police pulled an arm, a leg, even the feet and other things. It was later on they found out that it was indeed the body of Amelia.

The most horrifying thing is, the young couple confessed that Amelia was the mother of the wife.

There is going to be an "author's POV" because the story behind the murder will only get messy if it's in Jude's POV so yeah, watch out I guess? ༼⁠⁰⁠o⁠⁰⁠;⁠༽
