Case No : 100

chapter two

Earth's POV :

Mix was given CPR as he was wheeled into the ICU ... While all this was happening i could only watch him suffer from sideline

I sat myself down in the waiting area..

looking down at my trembling hands stained with blood and mud .... His frame felt small in my arms and cold to my touch when i found him in that junk yard moments ago... Breathing became harder for me until i felt a faint plus from him 

Being a person in the crime department i have gone through so many cases one more terrible than the other but never once have i been this shaken ....

This fear of losing him wasn't occurring only because of my personal feeling towards mix ... it is also because mix is the only lead we have in this case ... if he is gone

This case is going to be a cold case.

as these thoughts devoured me i heard the door opening and footsteps approching me

" peter how is he ? " i was restless even forgetting to address my friend as doctor in his work place

" safe for now ... but he needs to pull through tonight otherwise prepare for the worst "

i stared at him blankly ... ive heard such statements before but never felt the weight of those words like now

" can i stay with him ? " he nodded to my question

" you know right .. press the button next to his bed if anything happens " i nodded as i walked

toward the ward mix was resting in

till i opened the door to his room and saw him resting in that bed i had million of thoughts but once i saw him ... it felt like the entire world fell into silence and only him and i were breathing at the moment

I took the seat next to his bed ...

I can see his face a little more clearer than before the dirt and mud has been cleaned and his wounds were neatly bandaged .... He looked pale and more weaker than in the photographs I saw him in ..

I took his hand in mine it felt so small and felt like it would break if I put more pressure

" Hey..." my voice cracked as I spoke

" Our first time meeting .. I knew it would be something like this but not this bad ..
I wish for you to get better so I can meet you properly like in movies and books a
Sweet first meeting ..." I creased his cheeks lightly

The sound of pouring rain startled me it brought back the memories of ...were all of this started ...

the start of my 100th case was on a stormy night a week ago ...when a women walked in alerting us about her missing brother .

It was raining heavily that day too we were wrapping up final reports of our previous case and prepared to call it a day when quite unexpectedly a women walked into our station fully drenched in rain that late at night

" help me please ... I think my brother has gone missing "

" Mam can you calm down and tell us what happened ? " Pat took the lead and made her sit down

I really hate taking missing cases as it often turns out the missing person ran away from home or left with someone
But still I have to look into it

"Can you tell me about yourself and the missing person ? " I questioned as I moved a glass of water towards her

" I am Sandra ...i work as a human resource manager at a tourist agency in Pattaya ...and my younger brother mix is a fine arts major student here in Bangkok University ... "

" Day before Yesterday as usual i tried to call him but he wasn't picking up ... At first i didn't really mind it much but after not being able to reach him for a whole day i felt something was off ...so i traveled back to his place to check on him but his house is locked .... I have this feeling my brother is not safe please do something sir please ..."  She started to cry again

" Did you notice any changes in the way your brother talked to you when you had your last conversation with him ? "  was my next question

" no sir .. he seemed to be worried about his upcoming exams Other than that there wasn't anything else "
Pan noted down everything the lady was telling us

" I will go with the lady to do a wellness check...pat prepare the necessary things pan you and tablo check with the victims close circle and workplace and do get a copy of his call logs... ink stay here if needed for a backup i will let you know "

Everyone  started moving as soon as i finished my orders
