MY SHORT STORY JOURNEYS (ENG)

THE SECRET

***

That one day in the basement, a girl wore all black and the sunglasses, came out of her Jeep. She walked as if she was about to go meet someone. The sound of that girl's footsteps echoed, but it sounded double, which meant she wasn't the only one in the room.

Instantly, the girl looked back, trying to find out who the stalker was. And it seemed that only silence was all around her for now. Quickly, she ignored the sound earlier and continued to walk. From behind, the stalker followed her with such slow steps.

The girl in the black dress walked through the stairs, approaching someone up there. From a distance, the stalker was seen observing the activities of the two. The stalker immediately texted a girl with wavy black hair who was elsewhere, informing what's happening right now in the basement.

Meanwhile, in another place, there was a girl with wavy black hair sitting boredly, waiting for a message. Her cell phone rang, indicating an incoming message. Her fingers directly touched the screen, reading the contents of the message.

"Hey, I found the headquarters!"

That was such a short message, but it's fine. The wavy black haired girl then immediately replied.

"Okay. I'll be there soon. Send me the location."

When the wavy black haired girl was on her way, another girl dressed in black was seen entering a fairly large room. She was now sitting in front of the girl that seemed like the boss. Both of them seemed to be in a serious conversation with several pills of illegal drugs on the table.

The atmosphere sounded quiet but turned out to be noisy when suddenly two strange girls came to ambush the girls inside the headquarters. Gunshots started ringing in the room. A shootout ensued between the two female detectives and the two female drug dealers.

It didn't take long for one of the girls, who seemed to be the dealer's assistant, to be shot dead. One of them, the boss of the drug dealer, started throwing her grenade at the two detectives who were still trying to shoot her. The two detectives moved away to avoid the explosion, and the dealer boss took the opportunity to escape.

The drug dealer was running upstairs in a panic. She really didn't understand why she had to run upstairs. She stopped for a while to catch her breath while the detectives haven't caught up with her escaping yet. Now she finally reached the top, the atmosphere sounded quiet, indicating that the place was still safe for her to hide probably.

She was about to take off her sunglasses, it's really hot upstairs, making her face covered in beads of sweat. She hasn't found a perfect place to hide yet until the voice of someone warned her from behind.

"Freeze!" One of the detectives aimed the gun at the boss of the drug dealer.

The boss immediately turned around and took off her sunglasses, making the detective shocked. It seemed like the face of the boss dealer had a similar face to her.

And now the flashback was on, showing Clarissa - the detective girl, relaxing sitting while eating a cup of instant noodles in the living room. She was also chatting casually with her twin, Carissa - the drug dealer girl.

"How is your work going?" Clarissa started the conversation.

"Tiring." Carissa answered.

Clarissa then put down her cup of instant noodles and turned to the newspaper on the table.

"Hey, take a look at this! Several drug dealers are roaming the city!" Clarissa showed Carissa the contents of the news.

"Yeah, I just read it and I didn't even care."

Carissa suddenly left Clarissa, leaving a small packet of suspicious drugs on the sofa. Clarissa was indeed suspicious but then she tried to put her bad thoughts away.

The flashback was over, Clarissa and Carissa were no longer aiming their guns for each other.

"You know, it turns out my hunch was right at the time." Clarissa was disappointed.

"You're right, you can't fully trust someone, even the closest person." Carissa showed a bitchy face. Then Carissa dropped the gun. "So, Kill Me!"

The sound of gunshots echoed, hitting the boss dealer's target precisely. Carissa's body slowly fell. And the shot resulted from Clarissa's assistant who suddenly arrived.

Clarissa was shocked, she dropped her gun, she couldn't bear to see her twin sister injured like that. She didn't hesitate to catch Carissa's body, which turned out to be slowly dead.

She cried, she didn't know what to do until it was too late for her to save her twin, because the bullet had actually lodged in her heart. So, Carissa's life could not be completely saved.

Rest In Peace, evil twin.
