The Silent Murder

Chap 6

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Chloe said. He stands up and help her to pull out the chair as a gentleman. "It's fine. I just came here minutes ago."

"Thank you."

"Would you like to order now?" He asked. "Sure!"

***

"Yes, Julie? Why you're calling me at 8pm? I need-

"Shut up. We've got things to do." She said. You took a deep breath. "What's it?" You get up from your bed and grab a bottle of mineral water. "Chloe is on the date and she said we should like wait for her at the restaurant area.."

"I don't wanna ruin their date. This idea just makes us a weirdo." You said. "I've got a text from Karley. He did killed Anne." Your eyes widen and you lost the grip from holding the bottle. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I just didn't expected it. Are you being serious??" She had that 'yup!' and you know, she's being honest. You hold up the phone call and check the message.

Karley : Hey, its me. I just did a researched about him. Yes, he's apart from the case of Anne. He did killed him. I suggest us to have a meet up at my office tomorrow after work.

"I just saw the text."

"I told you. Well, if you can't go, I know you're kinda in shock, I'll go with Kyle. He just got back from Japan. I hope she's safe."

"Do you have any siblings?" Corbyn asked. "Nope. I'm the only child. It's pretty sucks." Chloe said. She sipped the red wine and "I love your eyes."

Corbyn stared at her, right through her eyes. They caught up in the moment of 'it feels like only the both of us'. "Thanks, I guess." She said, shyly. "Chloe, I wish I've more time to spend with you but I've got things to do."

"You're going? I mean now?"

He nodded. "Okay. Be careful."

***

You're bout to close your eyes again and starts to sleep but then, your phone rings. "I know it's you Julie."

"It's me. He left early and Chloe already with us. Does he knows what we're up to? Wait, Jonah... He mentioned me bout Corbyn and did Jonah like text or call you?"

"No. Why? I don't think Jonah is one of the suspect." You said. You can hear Chloe voice in the background talking on the phone. But, sounds like she's yelling. "It's kinda chaotic here. I'll talk to you later..."

***

Its a typical night as the bar or club full with people. "Jack Avery, huh?" Corbyn said. He's sitting next to Jack while sipping his drink. "Yes. Why?" He replied and stared at him. "So, I heard, your girlfriend... Wait, I mean, your ex, right?"

"It's none of your business."

"It's. She's my boss now." Jack doesn't say anything. "But, you shouldn't invade her privacy. Dude, back off."

"I can't. She drives me crazy and makes me want her more. Do you want her to be safe? Or you want to see her dead body right in front of you? I know and you can choose later but don't tell anyone. This is just between us.. Get it?"

***

The whole night you can't sleep after you saw the text and what Julie just told you. It's crazy how innocent face with smart brain is actually a psycho killer? It can't be true but the truth almost out.

You don't know what to do. Corbyn has been working only like a few days at work and it would be so obvious if you fired him without any good reason. You stare at the blank ceiling for a few minutes. The thought of anyone's life is at the danger makes you even more worried. If only you could turn back time and not accepting him as the new employer.

You dial your dad's number. "Dad. Do you have a time to talk?" You said politely. It's been awhile you haven't talked to him after your parents got divorced 3 years ago. You've been living with your mum until you decide to live with Jack at his condominium. "Okay so what's it? Is there any problem with the company?"

"Nope. It's fine, actually."

You start to tell him from A to Z. He sounds calm while listening to your story. "Really? Well, Karley has been doing her work. Right now, we've to find a way so that he got into our trap... But, don't fired him at the moment. It can be a rumor but also the truth." He said. "Okay, dad. I'll inform to you the updates about this thing. Night."

"I better go to sleep. These shits just makes my head dizzy. Oh god, please help me....."
