Let Me In

[4] - Who?

Cheska

The moment I saw a body lying on the floor with a syringe still stuck on her neck, her eyes wide open, I just lost it. I screamed as if it's my last, it is Hanna, for fuck's sake! She was a good friend.

My knees felt weak until I fell on the floor, I heard a loud sound behind my back and knew that it was Jose who's behind me. I cannot bear the sight of a dead body, I felt dizzy and nauseous until I threw up right in the moment.

"Cheska!!!" Jose patted my back until I finished throwing up, I was continuously coughing but I managed to ask "Wh--what the fu-fuck happened to Han-n-na?!"

"I don't know either, I heard you shouting and I panicked so I came inside!" Jose told me. Gathering my courage, I looked at Hanna's lying body and went near it. I noticed that she was holding something at her right hand.

"Pentobarbital" I whispered and looked at Jose while crying "What is that?" He asked "It's a drug used for mercy killing Jose, this is illegal here. Where the fuck did she get one of these?" I asked.

"For now, I'll call the Principal, just wait here, okay?" Jose told me "You want me to be with a dead body? Alone? In the shower room?" I ridiculously asked.

"Why? Do you want me to stay with Hanna, here? What if they'll doubt me and ask what was I doing here? It's okay for you to be here because this is a girl's shower room" He was right, I then agreed and waited for him to come back.

Of course after the news was spread at the campus, a lot of people were now interfering in the scene. Jose and I together with the principal and the police were inside the shower room since we were the people to discover Hanna's body.

"Can you tell us what happened in here?" one of the investigators asked, I looked at the spot where Hanna's body was lying a while ago and said "I just came here to change my clothes and as I enter the room, I saw Hanna's body lying there" the investigator looked at the direction of where I was looking.

"Did you saw someone leaving the room before you enter?"

"There was no one; it was just me and Jose. But I was the only one to enter, Jose was just waiting outside. He came in when he heard me screaming" I explained

"Is that all?" she asked. I nod at her then I remembered something "Ah, I also saw this bottle in her right hand, it's a drug used for euthanasia" I gave her the bottle that was in my hand "How did you know where it's used?" the investigator asked me

"My father was a pharmacist, he told me those drugs and said those are illegal here" I said "But I think Hanna did not commit suicide..." I continued "Why do you think so?" the investigator asked.

"Hanna's right handed, she should've injected the drug on the right part of her neck. Yet I found the drugs in her right hand, and the syringe is in the left part of her neck" I informed her

"Besides... Hanna was supposed to tell me something after her 5:00 PM class, why would she commit suicide when she's planning to talk to me after her class?"

"Thank you for the information Ms. Cumarat, we'll take the investigation from here and we'll inform you if we need more information about the case" Jose and I left the scene and saw that Jet and Kezia were waiting for us.

Kezia hugged me and asked if I was okay "I'm okay, Hanna wasn't" her gaze changed and looked away from me "Cheska I'll be heading home now, shall I see you later tonight?" Jose asked. I smiled and nod at him, he started walking and waved us good bye.
