Sometimes in life there comes a moment that changes everything. That is the moment that defines who we are and what will become of us. Sometimes the change in ourselves can effect others as well. Whether these changes are positive or negative totally depends on us. Sometimes it is not the darkness outside that is dangerous but the darkness within us that will consume the light.

Elena was looking sympathetically to the parents as they were crying at the loss of their only child at such a young age. She always found it hard to deal with the bereaved. Mr and Mrs Ray came to the precinct and told them that their son was living in a hostel with his friends. They have no connection with the house and the house owner where their son was found.
"We just talked to him in the evening prior to his...," she trailed off. "He was fine, how can something like this happen? Why this happen to our boy?" Mrs Ray kept saying this to her husband.
"Officer we want you to find out who did this to our son. We want that scumbag to pay for his crimes," Mr Ray said to the three people sitting in front of them. The two Sergeant and Inspector nodded. They themselves wanted to catch the culprit.

Breaking News
"Dead body of a 18 year boy was found in a lavish banglow near the suburbs. Currently the police is conducting a closed investigation. Residents of the suburbs are urging the police to catch the culprit as soon as possible."
BAAAAMM "What the...........?" He threw the glass filled with alcohol across the room with a loud bang. News reporter was continuously repeating the breaking news as it was put on loop. Fuming with frustration and anger he started pacing around the room. Then he took out his phone from his black hoodie that was hanging on the stand and dialed the number.
"Your call cannot be connected at the moment" after several tries the answer was still the same. The person he was trying to call was unreachable. That just made him more frustrated and angry at the same time. He closed his hand in fist trying to relief the anger, he started throwing anything which his hands get to on the floor. "This is not happening. This cannot happen. No my work is not done yet. There are lots of souls who need cleansing, I need to do my job. No this would not stop me. This cannot stop me." He kept on rambling to himself
But maybe he forgot that three things cannot long be hidden no matter how you try. Sun, Moon and Truth. It was time for the truth to reveal itself. It already has been too long.

"I can believe Alex is gone. He was such a good lad. He never gave me any problems. Always helped me whenever he can. Always respected his elders," Mr Liam Harvard was crying over the loss. He was a middle aged man, with bulky body, wearing black frame round spectacles. His beard was turning white from places giving him the father like look.
Elena and Edward were sitting in hostel's Warden office, where Alex used to live. They have already done a background check on the warden. His record was clean as slate. According to the students living in the hostel and the acquaintances of the middle-aged man he has a soft spot for the kids, yet a little strict about his rules, still love the kids as his own. The kids living in the hostel also love him.
"Did he have any argument with any of the kids around here? He must have taken permission before going outside, why you didn't report when he did not return," asked Edward his eyebrow raised. He was not sure why he was having the feeling towards the innocent-looking man.
" No, I do not know about any argument as I have told you he was such a good boy , every body around here loved him. As for why I didn't report was because he left for his parents house that day as it was the school holiday starting the next day.He told me that he wanted to spend the holidays with his parents that's why he left," replied Mr Liam
"We would like to ask around the students about Alex," said Elena. "Of course you can, oh maybe you should ask Noah he was a good friend of Alex," Mr. Liam said gently smiling.
"Noah, did Alex have any problems with some other students? Did he get into any fight? "Edward asked Noah as soon as they found the boy. The boy shrugged but suddenly popped straight as he remember something. "Alex and his room mate John they had a huge argument two weeks before, no idea what was it about but it got heated to the point of them both beating each other. The other boys step in to separate the two. Also, John did kind of threatened Alex saying that he will ruin him. But John left after that and we have not heard about him since then," Noah told the two officers. He was starting to feel guilty about not realizing it sooner that it may have been John who did that to his friend.
"John was always the bully at the school, he never really went along with us. But he didn't hurt Alex, though he was just rude, that's why Alex didn't change his room. I never thought he would do something like that. Wish I could have done something sooner," Noah talked head down while fidgeting with his fingers.
"Do not beat yourself up kid. It is not your fault. No one could have known what was going to happen. If you find something else contact us okay," Elena said giving him her card. Edward patted the boy's shoulders encouragingly
The two officers took the number and address of John from the boy and went to the station. They called Sergeant Peter to go check on the given address and bring John in for questioning.
---------------------------
Elena and Edward were briefing their Chief about the progress of the case when Sergeant Choi barged in the meeting room saying that the boy John is missing for the past two weeks. His parents thought he was in the hostel as they did not really talk that much. They have no idea where their son can be.
"Finally we have got our suspect. Put an APB on the boy and catch him as soon as possible," Mr Herald said before going out of the meeting room.

"Hello 999 what is your emergency?" the operator said picking up the call.
"T-There i-is a d-dead b-body buried here. come quick"
