The Silent Murder

Chap 11

"Belle! You've a guest coming over! Belle!" You heard your mum's voice calling out for you. "Wait a second!"

"I'm the head officer. My name is Daniel but I've been called as Mr Seavey. Nice to meet you, Mrs Hartley." He said, as he introduced himself. "What a lovely guy are you! Come in."

"Mr-

You looked at him as you're bout to get downstairs. He's got light brown hair, perfect square jaw with his blue ocean eyes. You can't help but keep staring at his eyes."Hello, Belle."

His voice sounds more deeper in person. The way he said your name makes your heart skips a beat. "Hey. I'm sorry, uh, a bit late"

"It's fine."

"I'll let you guys talk." Your mum makes her way to you. "Go flirt with that hottie." She whispered to you anf winked at Daniel. "Seriously mum? You're embrassing me!"

"Shall we start?" He asked. "Y-yeah. S-s-sure." You said, stuttering. "Why? Are you still in your grieving phase?"

"Nope. I'm just nervous. I have never did this and it makes me, stutter a bit." He smiled at you. "I know. I've met lots of people that's just like you. I know it's hard. We'll do it slowly okay?" You nodded. He gives you another smile. He looks so sincere when his lips started to form a smile. "Okay." You said. "You can interrupt me and tell me to stop. I'm not going to force you to do this."

He's still not breaking the eye contact. It's been awhile since a guy close to you. But, your mind is still wandering bout Jack.

"Corbyn. Why are you here?"

"Urm, I came to see you. You can't wait to meet me, arent you?" He said. He's standing at the corner of the bedroom. "Yeah. I am." Zach said. "You're in trouble, am I right?"

"I'm. Do you have the thing I told you?"

"Yeah. It's in the bag. You paid it earlier than I thought. Where do you work, buddy?"

***

"I will not let you involve even though it's one of the best way. My man, Jace, he will be my assistant. He's good at tracking. Corbyn Besson isn't his real name, Belle. He kept changing his name until we, don't really know his real name. We found out bout him after we saw a scar on the victim's wrist. It's his initial name 'C.B.' "

"I've been fooled?" He nods.

"Yes, wait, someone probably want to see you..." You heard the knock at the front door. "Shawn?" You said. "I just want to tell you that the birthday party is cancel."

"Why?"

"My son, he's, we don't know where he's right now. He has been missing for a week now..." You let him into the house. "Shawn, this is Mr Seavey."

"Nice to meet you, Mr Mendes." He said. You looked at him. Shawn looks confuse and manage to keep it cool. "Nice to meet you too."

"You're still on your mission, huh?" Zach said. "Sounds like that, Herron." He chuckled. "But, why now? You stopped your 'not so murdering' mission last 5 years. What makes you feel like you wanna do, Besson?"

"Her. Belle Hartley."

"That woman. Damn, she's a goddess. Don't say she's on your victim list, dude..."

"I dont know man... When I look at her, she took my breath away. A moment later, I can't help but I picture her as my dead girlfriend. My heart say don't kill her but my mind is, just, fuck up."

"That's because you're taking a drug, man. It'll controlled your mind and bring you through hell till you no longer know who you're. Good luck figuring it out..."

***

"I'm sure the police are doing their job, sir. Don't worry, we'll make sure, we found your son sooner."

"You will get him back to you. You still have a hope. Keep hoping, Shawn... " You pat on his shoulder as you excuse yourself from them. "Why the world can be so cruel yet so kind at the same time? If only I've a rewind button and stop all this shits. This is all my fault!"

"Belle. I have to go." You wipe your tears away using the back of your hand. "Yeah. Drive safe. Thank you for today." You can see the concern in his eyes. He looks worried but, he knows it's a dangerous case. He approach you and he's now, close to you. "You'll het through this. Please, stay strong, Belle. I know I should be professional but seeing a woman, like you, crying and blaming yourself, makes me feel bad." He put his arms around you. You've been craving for this warm hug. It feels right to have him in your arms but your heart still belongs to Jack.

"Thank you."
