CHAPTER 13

We were shocked. We don't know what we're gonna do. Then a memory of my father flashed before me. 

"Son, don't ever trust anyone, even yourself. Disappointment will always come." He said. 

Then Detective Murdock walks slowly towards us. 

"I know I can always use our condition Bell. Now, you will die, slowly and painfully, just like my brother." He laughed, sinisterly.

"What are you talking about? Whose brother?" I'm scared. But I was filled with deep confusion. What's happening? Kat was just sitting beside me, holding my arms, shaking. 

"Oh.. poor boy! They didn't tell you about your nice uncle? Our condition is what made us Bell. My brother, or let's say, your father, is a good man but when he started to lose himself, he beats me up and our parents never even bother to rescue me. They will say, 'Ohhh.. you're brother has this condition, just forgive him.' And that continued until I found my true love. The only person who could understand me. You know Bell, I'm the only one in the family who didn't get the sickness that runs in our blood. He stole your mother away from me. Your mother loved him so much because she pitied him. Because of your motherf*cking memory dipshit!"

He was different. He was like another person. And on the moment that we're experiencing, it was like another world. 

"Before I end your miseries, let me reveal something to you." He continued. 

"I killed your father, I killed your annoying neighbor Daniel Rosche. I killed the bully. I killed the policemen. In some ways, let say, I made you do it. There's another secret to your condition Bell, that everytime you lose yourself, you are vulnerable enough to be told everything that anyone wants you to do. I did that to your father, and told him to be cruel to you and your mother." 

"And what about my imprisonment? Why do those things to Detective Rosberg?" I asked him. 

"Oh? That? Just the same story. It's just that I changed the characters? Haha.. I fell in loved with Liz, blah, blah, blah.. and I took my revenge. That's it! I'm a loving person after all. And I found the opportunity to torture you at the same time Bell, because of your kitty Kat's father. And to make this all clear, since you will bid your final moments with her in your UNFORGETTABLE world. Oooops! Should I say, FORGETTABLE? I fed Rosberg all the intel, without him knowing. He was fed up with the assumption that you returned and killed Liz. That the real thing is, you returned and took this f*cking recorder, and hid it in this filthy dump house. That's why, he continued his plan, without knowing he's still framing you up. All according to my plan, I supposed. So did I make everything crystal clear?"

While he was busy revealing the truth, the real truth, Kat picked up a broken glass. 

But then, "That's enough James. You made it this far but I never trusted you. I was consumed of Liz' death and framed them up. But this is too far James." Detective Rosberg appeared, holding a radio. 

"What do we have here? You son-of-a-bitch!" Murdock exclaimed. 

"The chief heard all the things you have said. Just give up James. All of these, I knew in my gut, that it was you. The backup are already on their way... (GUNSHOT!)" Rosberg didn't have time to finish what he have to say. Detective Murdock finished off Detective Rosberg with a shot in the head. 

Kat started to cry. "Noooooooo!!!!!!" Then she ran towards Det. Murdock and stabbed his left foot with the broken glass. Without thinking, I pushed Detective Murdock away from the door of the hideout and grabbed Kat away to the woods. We made distance. 

Then we heard Murdock shouting, "You bastards! I'm gonna cut your throat out when I find you. Come out you sons of bitches!"

We hid under a huge log, and waited. It seems like hours have passed, and tried to sneak out and find our way out of the woods. 

But suddenly, "Aaaahhhh!!" Kat shouted as she stomped her feet on a bear trap. It was a bear trap we made unfortunately. And it seems like Murdock was around as I hear running steps around the woods. 

"Ssshhh. Stay quiet Kat. I'll get you out of here." I told her as I tried to pull the bear trap apart. She was bleeding, so bad. I can see in her eyes the agony, the pain that she's in. I managed to get her out of the trap, but she passed out. I took my shirt of and tied it around her feet to control the bleeding. I carried her around my back and walked. I was tired and I was hoping to get out of this mess. We reached the end of the woods, and we saw the highway. The backup just arrived and I ran towards to them, but I was unable to shout, because my voice was tired out. 

But suddenly, (gunshots!) "I'm so.. sor.. sorry, Bell..." I heard Kat's fading voice in my back, and as I look back, Murdock was there. He shot Kat. 

"Noooooooo!!! This can't be happening." The officers, took shots simultaneously as they saw what happened. Murdock fell off the ground, bleeding with the shots he took from the officers. 

"Kat, kat! Hang on, we'll call an ambulance. Come on, stay with me.." But she's not responding anymore.

EPILOGUE - 5 Years After

"Yeah! Come on Bell, we got to go now. The party's starting with or without you!" Chad's voice on the phone is really annoying. 

"What?! You can't. It's my birthday! No one's blowing the cake but me."

Five years have passed huh. I hope Kat's in good hands now. The tragedy that happened was indeed a life changing experience. Did I make it sound nice? You know what happened after that? Yes, thanks to Detective Rosberg, I was acquitted with the charges. And the mysteries in Philadelphia had already piped down. Chad and Shelly? Thanks to them, I moved on. We're still together. By the way, did I tell you that we moved together to New York? We're licensed architects now. We are working together in this huge firm and we're currently working on a huge project, Kat Co. The name of the building. The owner was inspired of my story, and gave me the opportunity to name the building. How about my condition? I still have it. But I learned the secret on controlling it. BE HAPPY. I tried to keep smiling under pressure and that helped me a lot. My mom moved in with me and we're happy. She met this new guy, Cliff, and I think they're getting married. He's cool though. How about Mrs. Schmuck? I never heard of her. Eversince Kat's funeral, we never had the chance to talk again. I heard that she moved out of the town. I still keep in touch with Dr. Schmuck though. Kat's last wishes to him, is that to help me with my condition. And it's working. Life really started to change.

I was walking in the park on my way home. We have this cool apartment and mom's loving it. Although, she's moving out with Cliff. Then I blacked out. I woke up. In my apartment. I saw my mom, crying, covered with bruises. 

"What happened mom?" She never spoke a word. 

She pointed out in a corner, and there was Cliff. Lying around, covered with blood and a knife stuck in his chest. Then I wonder. Is it happening again?
