The Silent Murder

Chap 7

You park your car the car park. You saw Julie walking towards your direction. She open the passenger door and get in. "How's your night?"

"Awful. I can't sleep and I've a bad headache. I told my dad bout it and he hopes it's just a rumor. But, I dont think its though... Julie, let's act as normal as we can. We don't want him to know that we already found out the truth, okay?" You said. She nods and both of you make the way to the office.

"Chloe!" Julie said. She's so good at acting. This girl. "Julie." She said. You see Corbyn that's still talking with Shawn.

Yes it's Shawn Mendes, duh.

You take a deep breath and approach them. "Morning, Miss." Shawn said as he smile and wink at you. "Morning, Shawn. And you too,Corbyn." He looks up from the paper work that he had been holding. "Morning to you too."

"I've to go. Work hard!"

You just walk without even looking back. You can only see his creepy side now and not longer, that cheeky side of him when he smiled.

You looking through the office. Julie shoot you a look and quickly walk to her own office room. Kyle follow her from behind. "Don't say that they're going to make out in that room..." You said to yourself.

You try to stay focus. The times slowly ticking this time or is it just your feeling? You put your earphone on your left ear. You heard a knock. "May I come in?" It's not Corbyn but It's Shawn. "Sure." You unpluck your earphone and put it down. "Miss. I suppose like text you but I lost my phone. I'm having a birthday party for my 3 year old son. I wanna invite you but if you're busy, I understand."

"I'll come. But, when?" You asked him.

"Actually, this Saturday." He gives you a card. "Thank you for inviting me. I really appreciate it. Awww, this card is so cute. Did you design this?" He's kinda blushing and nod a little. "Yes... I'm glad you think it's cute and I would be happy if you really can come."

Shawn has been working under the company for 10 years before you take the position as the CEO. He's loyal and your family help him a lot through financial support. You're close to him and he's just like your big brother. You can't believe he's got married and
have 2 kids. You? Still doesn't get married but almost to."I'd totally go to your son birthday party! I bet he looks even more cuter than before. How's he doing? I bet that mini you miss me."

"Parker still in his process of growing up and he starts to be my supporter. He did said he missed seeing you, Miss." He said. "Just call me by name. Its not necessarily to call me,miss. I don't wanna be only a CEO to you bit also a friend."

"Thank you. Okay, I'll,miss... I mean, Belle. I'm sorry if I interrupt you. I'll close the door and let you get back to your work."

"What should I do? I don't wanna lose her but I hate lying." Jack said. He went back to the condominium. He left a note on the bed. "I hope you read this."

He starts to put his stuff in his bag before leaving. He's going back to Spain to meet his dad's family.

***

"Karley." You said. Karley still busy with her phone anf writing something on the paper when you walk in. "Oh, Belle. Have a sit."

"I've been asking the neighbours that live around the state. He lives there alone. He has siblings but no one knows what really happened to them. Or his parents."

"Seriously? That's sounds so-

"Yeah and I heard that she brings different girls to his place but none of the girls like out of the house in the morning. His house seems like a typical house but I can say, pretty sure he has a secret code to everything that's in house. None of his neighbour have been in his house." You only listen to what she said. You realised lots of things you didn't know about him. Most of it are more like 'dark secrets'.

"I can confirmed he's a psycho. Yes, I met his therapist but, its been years he never went there. He almost getting better but until one this incident that makes him lost himself again..." She said. "What's it?"

"His girlfriend got murdered while he's out of the town. The murderer recorded the video and sent it to him. Eversince that day, he didn't left the house. But months later, he made his appearance. He had this thought which is, if she went on a date with a girl and kill her after that, it would makes him happy. He wants every girl to go through of what his girlfriend have went through. It's ridiculous."

"But he really need help. A serious help and this is illegal. Killing those innocent girls just so wrong. They don't deserve this. This is too just much. I've got a plan. "
