3 Ways

Sister in Danger

"So that must mean the dead student's name is Jin Hyuk," Chorong stated a few seconds later after Victoria had finished cleaning up the broken glass.

"Or he could be the one who killed the dead student, we wouldn't know," Namjoo pointed out then turned to Victoria. "Do you know this guy?"

"No, but I've seen him around."

"He must have come to you because you're one of the Protectors, or perhaps because of your gem," Chorong suggested.

Victoria narrowed her eyes ever so slightly. "Anyway, I've figured out what we need to do tomorrow."

"Already?" Namjoo asked in disbelief.

"We need to start cracking on this so I can rid of this paranoia. It's killing me, seriously," Victoria grunted. "Everywhere I went today, I swear, I felt like I was being followed. He's probably here right now."

Chorong shuddered in her chair and moved nearer to the wall and away from Victoria. Hugging herself she pleased, "Please, Victoria. As if we need any more ghosts in our lives."

"Forget it, we're always having uninvited guests." Victoria mumbled. "Back on topic, tomorrow I go to school, check out the dorms; one of you two will go to the police station and tell Changmin to hold off marking this case as suicide; the other one will ask around campus for whatever information."

Her two sisters shot her looks of disbelief.

"Did I hear the name, Changmin?" Chorong widened her eyes. "Whoa! Wait a sec, did you two meet today?"

"That is not the point right now!"

"Oh! They did!" Namjoo raised her voice and pointed at Victoria before laughing.

"Guys!" Victoria slammed her hand against the kitchen table, but her sisters didn't seem any bit intimidated. "Chorong, you get campus. Namjoo, you go to the police station."

"That's fine by me. I just have to ask about Jin Hyuk, right?" Chorong asked.

"We'll have to verify his identity first," Victoria corrected. "Namjoo will head to the police station first thing in the morning and call us, then we'll continue from there."

"First thing in the morning!?" Namjoo whined.

"Your sore butts deserve it," Victoria said. "Now that that's done, I want a shower."

Chorong turned to watch Victoria go before turning to Namjoo.

"Victoria must be really paranoid," Chorong commented.

"Thirty bucks for she gets together with the criminal investigator," Namjoo smirked.

"Deal!" Chorong slapped her hand into her sister's and they both laughed.

Namjoo was woken up early by Victoria and given Chorong's keys after a quick breakfast of toast and orange juice. Not even spared 5 minutes to pretty herself up she was urged through the door and to the police station. Victoria really wasn't cutting her any slack.

"Ugh...what am I supposed to say to him? This is embarrassing," Namjoo whined.

"You should've thought of that yesterday," Victoria retorted before pushing her through the front door. "We'll be waiting for your call, so be quick."

Rolling her eyes at her sister annoyed she got into Chorong's car and drove off all the while trying to rehearse what she'd say to Changmin. Telling him to hold off on the case would make her look strange and suspicious, because she had no real reason to give. That crime investigator would continue to ask her questions until she didn't know what to say anymore. Unless she told him the student's ghost had come to Victoria and asked for her to tell the truth.
