A Secret

Charles Vallesgher
   I was waiting for 10 minutes. Where did he go? He said that he will comeback but where is he. I've been sitting here for ten minutes watching this idiots count their toothpicks. Why are they always being distracted by nothing! That's annoying. But not as annoying as the old man said. He said that Allan was genius! Hahaha. What a funny joke. He can't even beat me in chess and he was genius! That just proves that no matter what I do to father, he will still choose Allan as his favorite son. Ugh btw I gotta find this 'favorite' son because i don't know where he went. Maybe he's gone.... forever. Hahahah that will be so prefect! "Charles" the voice said. Yeah it was familiar that's why I look at the direction where it came from. And luckily it was Ms. Hanna. I smiled and said " Yes Ms. Hanna, how can I help you?". She look around and then she look at my face. Her eyes was now filled of nervousness and she was like a mother who lose a child. Oh I get it now, you will ask where is allan, right Ms. Hanna? "Where is Allan?" She ask as I expect. "Oh right, I will just go and get him in the bathroom. You know Ms. Hanna, Allan just had a stomachache so he went there and do his thing" I lied. "Oh well then I will just wait you two in my  office. But just remember that don't talk to strangers ok?" She said, waiting for my reply. "Ok then Ms. Hanna" I replied. I just laugh secretly knowing that Allan just talked to the stupid strangers here. She just smiled and walk away. As she walked away, I run towards the direction where Allan went last 10 minutes ago. Luckily,  no one mind me even the stupid strangers who are still counting right now. I notice the small staircase in the end of the hallway that leads to a underground something. That caught my curiosity that's why I went down and I saw Allan talking to a stranger AGAIN. I hid myself underneath the staircase and just listen to their conversation.

"How did I know? I saw you in my father's documents" Allan said

What in the world are they talking about?

"Hahahaha.What are you? A detective?" The man said while looking very suspicious at Allan. I just stay still and listen. Knowing that if they notice me, I will interrupt them.

"I also know that you murdered 17 people including your relatives" Allan added. I never saw our father's documents so where did he get that from?. The smile on the man's face faded and now his eyes if full of anger and depression. I look carefully in his eyes if there's any sign of murderous monster inside of him. But I didn't saw any of it. He lean towards Allan and remove his handcuff. "Let me tell you my secret" the man said. His voice was more calm than before.

"What is it?" He questioned with a suspicious voice knowing that the one he was talking to, was murderer.

"Come closer" the man said leaving a smile on his face. Allan did what the man said, he came closer. The man grab Allan's hand and put it in his wrist. Allan's eyes widened, leaving no trace of fear. The man also put Allan's fingers on his neck. It's like Allan is searching for the man's heartbeat.

"Why there's no heartbeat?" Allan asked. I was shock by that statement. Maybe Allan was not really meant to be a doctor. The man smile wider. He take a breathe and said "That's my secret, what's yours?" . Allan take a 2 steps backwards remembering how dangerous that man is. Did he actually remembered? I thought he's immune to criminals.

"You're a bad person. How can I trust you?" He finally ask. I laugh a little bit when I heard those words coming from Allan. Did he actually care? Hahaha I thought he was the angel of wisdom who is not afraid of devils. "No I'm not" the man said while raising his hands like he was been arrested. Actually he was been arrested hahaha. Allan didn't believe. I know it because we're identical. He finally take a deep breathe and said "Then if you are not a bad person why did you kill 17 people?" He ask stupidly. What a stupid brother, you really an angel because you don't know how devils think. The man smile more wider and said "Because they are bad people! I'm just an angel who end their misery" Allan remain silent as the man said those words. The man knows what Allan think that's why he broke the silence.

"Now what is your secret?"
