Bloody Riddle (REVISED)

The Truth is Revealed Pt.2

He didn't realize how long he had asleep, James just didn't care. But the sound of coming footsteps caused him open his eyes. David filled his gaze, standing proudly, arms crossed over his chest, and the smile never left his face.

"Morning, sunshine." James didn't react.

"What do you want?" David smiled. His hand reached into his pocket, pulled out a syringe. James didn't struggle when the injection landed in his neck.

"That's, so you can't struggle."

"How can I struggle if my situation like this." He pointed at his body.

"Peachy."

David grabbed the ties that tied James's hands. The bonds untied, James fell on his stomach. The face lands on the floor. James wanted to hit David in the face, but he couldn't. He just gave a glare that David didn't take seriously. "Don't expect me to be kind, that what you said to me."

James couldn't move when the drugs started taking effect. His body was limp, the muscles could not move. "Come on, you can walk on both feet, I can't drag you on."

David led James up the stairs, out of the basement to the bathroom. James stared at the main door, hoping all his might to rebel. David realized that, He knocked James to the floor, kicked him in the stomach. "It's useless."

David dragged James toward the bathroom, closed the door, kicked it with his foot. James tremble more when his body put into a tub filled with water that was not too deep. David turned on the faucet and cold water struck James's weak body. Under the shower, James's body shivered. Water hits like a rain of bullet.

James almost lost his consciousness and drowned in the tub until David pulled out James's body, which was already wet to the floor. James didn't fight it. Her consciousness faded and fell asleep. "Drowning cat." David stood up and left the bathroom, leaving James unconscious there.

After locking the bathroom, David walked into his room half wet. He knew the consequences of taking James out, but he also didn't mind playing with someone's hopes.

The reflection in the mirror made David smile. From the reflection he looked at the shelf behind him. Smile getting wider. He walked over to the shelf, opened a black cloth covering it.

"You'll see your brother soon, Julia."

She doesn't know what came over this time, but her little feet guided her back to James's home. They have lost track of the detective for two days. There has no further development about who has kidnapped James or where they have gone. Armed with a minimal proof doesn't help at all. Karin sighed again. She has to stay focus. The house door not locked. Karin walked in, stood at the door, petrified in the silence.

A lot of things have happened lately. What should he do now?

She doesn't know what to do now.

Karin remembered that small office room. She went in there, turned on the light, found the room was exactly the same as before. But a photo on the table caught her eye. Two women and a man. Karin knew it was James. The smile of the woman Karin knew as Julia Floyd.

Karin turned the photo over and got a neat handwriting behind it. 'For the beloved mother and Julia.' Karin smiled bitterly as she sat on chair. So this is all about family. James just wanted to avenge his sister's death. Karin feel terrible for him.

Karin got up from the chair. His footsteps stopped when his foot accidentally stepped on something that nearly made him slip. He went under the table, found a piece of paper.
