I gave him the cassette with a lot of hesitation.. I'm not so sure if I want to see the movie
As he tried to grab it I take my hand back "fuck! Im not ready" I turned my back on him leaving the cassette on the bed
"Come-on are you scared?" He smirked "yes I'm scared! Okay? Folks died because of this! Come to your senses!" I turned around
"Folks died because he dropped his inhaler! Not because of the movie!" He grabbed the cassette and placed it on the screenplayer
"Fuck Chris! Wait I don't wanna see this!" I shouted "I don't care!" He took the remote and sat on the bed
I took a deep breath and sat down on his red couch "okay! Okay! Press play" I was terrified of what I was going to watch , the woman the chainsaw! Everything
He pressed the red play button and the familiar colorful lines appeared on the screen with a beep sound
A girl appeared, tied down on a chair with a rope, her hair being a mess, bruises all over her body and her dress tiered down. She seemed to be in a place like a garage..
"NO!AHHH PLESE I BEG YOU! NOOO!" A tall manly figure appeared, dressed in black with a balaclava on his face, he started punching her "AHHH! PLEASE STOP! AHHH" her screams all over the room
I closed my eyes with my hands, only hearing her screams "AHHH! PLEASE"
"what is he doing to her?" I asked Chris "he is beating the shit out of her! Poor girl"
"AHHHHH! PLEASEEEE! NOOOOOO!" Then silence, her screams stopped "what did he do to her?" I panicked "he stabbed her with a knife!"
"Turn it off! Turn it off! Please!" I begged Chris "shut up!" Then the chainsaw sound was heard "he is cutting her head" fuck I was terrified
"Turn it off Chris! Please! Turn it off!" I shouted "okay! Okay!" He grabbed the remote and pressed stop
"Fuck! This is real, isn't it?" I took my hands off my face, seeing him looking at the TV "yes! And I think I know this girl! She disappeared two years ago"
I silvered! Fuck this is real? This is a real murder? This girl was killed?
"What? Did you know her?" His eyes looked at mine, sending some creepy vibes "yes her name was Vanessa, she disappeared two years ago! Saying that she run away with her boyfriend! But she didn't have a boyfriend"
"Fuck! What are we going to do now?" I asked terrified "we are going to find the killer!" He said excited "WHAT? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? THIS ISNT A FAKE CASE! THIS IS REAL! A REAL MURDER!"
"AND?" He shouted back "WHATEVER! IM OUT OF HERE! JUST KNOW THAT I DIDNT SAW THE MOVIE NOR I KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT!" I grabbed my bag and left his room

I was laying down on my bed, looking at the ceiling thinking all of the things that happened in just a week
One week ago, I was having a normal life, folks was alive and Chris was a stranger to me
"Penelope! Someone wants to talk to you on the phone!" Val shouted from the living room
I rolled my eyes and got up "who is it?" I asked "a guy named Chris!"
What does he want now? I told him that I didn't want to get involved I'm this case!
I saw my sister holding our black telephone on her hand "here!" She gave it to me "hello?"
"Penelope?" His voice was heard, husky as always "Chris? What do you want? I told you i-"
"Yeah! Yeah! I know! But I have something i want to tell you! It's really important!" His excitement could not be hidden
"Okay okay, I'm coming!" I shut the telephone on ist base and run to my bedroom to grab my bag

"Look! Carefully" his veiny hands on the remote pressing pause and forward, the movie silent so her screams were muffled "look, 'pwease, I beg you' the scene is edited!"He mocked her screams
"Look he is a few inches away and now he is so close to her" he showed with his finger, slowing the movie down so I can she the differences
The guy was away from the chair and want the movie was slowly was moving he was close to her body
"Yeah! You're right! But why would they do that?"I asked "they would probably want to hide something!"
"His name!" I shouted "that's right! Besides that look!" He pressed back movie where the girl was alone in the screen
"Look how far the camera is, and now how close to her gets" he explained
I nodded "now we know that the one who killed her, recorded this movie with a camera that could zoom!"
"Are you crazy? Do you know how many cameras can zoom? Probably like a million! How can we find him?" I asked
"Yeah now, there are a million cameras that can zoom! But two years ago, only 1 camera model could zoom!" He said approaching his bookshelf, he grabbed a few printed files, throwing them in the ground
"Okay we good this!" He sat down on the carpet with me, looking around the files
"No..no...no...no.. it's impossible!" I said
Throwing the files in the air
"Shut up and focus!" He shouted, silencing me..
A million files in the ground but not the one we were looking for.. when suddenly he stopped searching and stood still for a moment
"What?" I asked looking at him
"I think that the camera that were are looking for is the Sony xt1500!" He exclaimed
"Fuck! Yes! You're right!" I grabbed the file that was showing the Sony xt1500 and started reading the details
"Long-lasting battery, 600pixels.. blah.. blah..blah.. zoom ability! That it's!" I looked at his eyes
"Now we know that the one who killed her has a Sony xt1500 camera! And probably is one of her friends or family.."
