No one knew why it had happened. No one suspected that in a small town a killer would blend in so perfectly. But when the body of Leo Park was found it was a triggering message for everyone.
No one is free from the eyes of the detectives now, not ev...
Leo walked in the door close to 8 at night since he stayed back to watch Kris at Tennis Practice and give him a good luck kiss under the bleachers for the game the following day.
He didn't expect that to be the last kiss or even the last person he would ever see. Yet who ever plans to die at the brink of turning 18 years old
Only a few steps into the dark house to close the door and he was slammed against a wall by an unknown figure.
His head hit the shelf keys hung from and a family picture was propped up. Casusing the keys to jingle and the picture to slightly rock
Seconds after hitting his head a thick plastic bag was forced over his neck and gripped in the back so it couldn't be torn off.
"Help" he tried screaming but his air flow was cutting short as he tired to breath. He flailed in hopes to get free but it was proving worthless.
A hand grabbed his neck and the more he tried to breath the more steam coming in the bag fogging his view
"It's for the best" a voice rang and he flailed more but his eyelids were becoming heavy.
Minutes continued to pass and his heart rate slowed as his body limped in the arms of his killer.
"But why" was the last thing Leo Park would ever say as his last breath clung to his escaping last words.

His killers looked down at the body on the ground holding the bag on for an extra amount of time before removing it.
They took the audacity to change him into something more meaningful.
A simple outfit of a white button down, black slacks and a fixed belt, and his fanciest shoes he owned.
They waited for the night to become darker before moving the body to the truck and laying him in the backseat then taking off to a meaningful place.

Two days later Leo's picture was spread all over the local news saying how he has been missing for two days and was last seen getting home.
A call was passed by to the investigation appartment of a body found in the rocks at gray beach and the notes was passed to Detective Matthews and Detective Santiago.
Police appeared to the situation and could identify him almost instantly by the missing person description given by his mother.
Detective Matthews looked at the boy as the bag was zipped up confinding the body and the only thing that he would see in nightmares was the piercing white eyes which stared at him and the purple lips on his skin held a grey tone.
"Sir how do we break this to his family" Detective Santiago said and looked at his body.
"Let me handle it. Their a close family friend and I'm sure it will be better coming from me then from a stranger with a badge" he said and watched the body be taken to the undertaker for further investigation.

Detective Matthew gotten home and seen his son making posters in hopes to find his friend and his younger sister Rosey sat with him.
"Kris. I'm afraid that isn't needed now" he said and watched his sons reaction go from calm and collected to almost distant and broken.
"Dad when you say that it's never good. How is Leo" he said and sat back extending his lankey legs.
His father only dropped his head with a small shake. "He's gone son" he only said calmly.
Kris looked and tears just rushed down his cheeks as the arms of his little sister wrapping around him.
"Does his parents know" Kris asked shyly and swallowed hard looking at his father.
"Not yet I was about to head over there but you deserve to know since he was part of the tennis team" he said and watched him
Kris looked at his hands and nodded "okay" he said but he kept a secret from his family besides his sister.
It was that he and Leo were not just on the same tennis team, but they were a couple just waiting for legal marriage to get accepted in his town so he didn't have to pull Leo miles away just to propose.
Detective Matthews nodded "okay well I will be home soon, don't wait up for me cause then after I am going to the office to get the files" he said and bowed to his kids.

When Matthews gotten to the Park residents he took a deep before pressing the button for the door bell and waited as he took his hat off.
When Mr.Park opened the door he had a smile but it soon dropped when he seen the expression in Matthews eyes.
"You didn't find him alive" Mr.Park said and his breath was hitched in his throat hoping it wasn't real. As these hopes rised, his wife hugged his side and looked at Matthews
Matthews looked down "unfortunately we didn't find him alive. I'm sorry for your loss Mr and Mrs Park" he said and watched them.
Mrs.Park felt her world collapse as she fell to her knees screaming and crying "not my baby boy" she said.
Mr.Park only looked away as tears ran down his cheeks "oh what did my son do to deserve this ending" he said and shook his head.
Matthews watched between the two and stood with a straight back "we will find out who and why they did this to your son and justice will be served" he said and watched.
Just a few nods were given before the door was closed so the Parks could mourn the death of their son together and in peace.
