The CoDas: Reboot [By Hex]

Chapter 29 : Blame

TPKA Finale: Blame

It was indeed a long, sleepless night for both false Nathan and Anna. The event that occurred left both of them in a state of shock, Anna was traumatized by what she saw inside Nathan's right eye and Nathan was traumatized by what Anna has done to him. They sat across each other in the front yard as the police investigated the crime scene.

The police didn't know but they did, they knew full well what had happened inside that house and they were both afraid of what might happen. So they kept their mouths shut, worried that a single word will cause them their demise, few of the police officers kept both of them company. Anna was being caressed by a female police officer, hearing words of kindness from her, Nathan on the other side had his wounds tended by a doctor, Nathan slightly grunted as his leg was in pain.

Throughout the whole investigation, Nathan and Anna would make eye contact but quickly avert their eyes, too shy to face each other.

Meanwhile, Nathan's uncle was inside the house investigating the bodies as another police officer, who was taking notes of the evidence, mentioned to him, "Sir, I'd like to suggest a conclusion to the incident. You said that you saw your nephew strangling Anna, correct?"

Kello looked closely at the damaged marks of the mother, it showed multiple jab wounds on the neck with a lot of blood spilling out. He replied, "Yeah, you were there with me, what about it?"

"Well... sir, the murder weapon happened to have a lot of fingerprints on them but the clearest one was your nephew's. Meaning it was used by him last."

Kello's eyes twitched as he frowned. "And...?"

"Well...He was also strangling Anna, and very aggressively, you can still see his choke marks on her neck. Sir, I think he might be the murde-"

Kello instantly grabbed the officer by his shirt and pushed him against the wall, screaming, "Don't you ever come to that conclusion, ever again!" The officer's eyes widened as his teeth chattered, he shook his head, "I'm sorry, sir! I won't mention it again. I'm very sorry!"

Kello let out a puff as he released the officer from his grasp. "I know that you are a rookie and that this is your first time being involved in a murder case but you can't go into conclusions just based on assumptions. You don't know their story, what they saw and thought during the incident. It is important to get all of the perspectives of the situation before making conclusions."

Kello's appearance screamed one word to Jonas, the rookie, and that was 'powerful'. His skin color was similar to Nathan, warm tanned. His eyes were hazel brown and his hair was dark brown with the side of his head revealing white, usually a sign of him becoming an elderly; however, it contradicted the fact that Kello was only in his 30's.

Kello looked around the kitchen area for the slightest of clues, his fingers stroked every surface of the kitchen, his eyes suddenly caught onto the corpse of Anna's father who was lying on the ground beside her mother, he knelt down and observed his body.

"Cracked bones on the vertebra and atlas, multiple stab wounds on the guts, incapacitated through heavy blood loss and died from suffocation," Kello mumbles. A brutal murder.

His eyes caught on deep scratch marks around the corpse waist, he let out a hum, turning the corpse over. His clothes were ripped, exposing the back. Kello's eyes widen as he saw something odd, tribal marks carved on his back, bits of blood seeps out of it. Kello has never seen marks like these before, it was foreign, almost alien.

He called out for his rookie assistant, "Hey, Jonas, come over here."

Jonas turned his head over to Kello and approached him, seeing the markings, as he mumbled out, 'Woah...Va fan?'
