Nalia POV:

"That has no effect on you?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"Next question" he says again

"Have you ever been involved with a gang?" I ask and he sits back down on his single couch.

"Maybe once for personal needs but that was history and never again will I be in one" he says and I sit back down on the couch across him.

I look through the files and silence took over the whole room, I didn't feel scared anymore around him. I felt confident and pride.

He wasn't as bad as everyone made him to be.

"You know.....you're beautiful right?, I know your friends were taken from you" he says and my eyes widened immediately.

"Excuse me, what?" I say

I took out my phone and tried to call the police, because in that moment I thought he or someone he related to kidnapped my friends.

"Don't bother there is no reception, in here" he says and I saw him staring at me with a smirk.

"I came here to ask questions and I did, my work here is not dealing with my personal life in any way, only yours" I say and look st him again.

"It'd be inappropriate to call me anything, I'd appreciate if you didn't" I clench my jaw and gather my files.

"Caterina, Lilith, Emily and uh what was the one murdered.....Valentina" he says everyone of my friends named. I was beyond shocked.

I stand up immediately.

"If you're going to kill me, do it" I say and he laughs loudly.

"Now why would I want you dead when I can sense the fear coming from you, it enlightens me" he says and I become angry.

"What do you know about the girls?" I ask.

"Well, Caterina and Valentina weren't kidnapped, although Lilith and Emily were"

"Where are they?" I ask with gritted teeth.

"Maybe dead or alive"

"Where are they?" I ask again.

"Raging at a suspect isn't appropriate is it?" He sighs.

"Raging? I have a right to ask, they are victims" I say.

"Not after their deaths, maybe just corps" he says and I felt my breath hitch, I sat down and felt a tear run down my cheek.

"I swear to god Mattia Polibio if I find out you have murdered them im going to ruin your life" I say and he just laughs.

"Relax, I didn't murder them, besides I'm untraceable, try your hardest" he says

I took out my tissue from my suit case and wiped away the tears, my friends, the ones I grew up with are dead.


Mattia got me a glass of water but I didn't take it.

"Drink" he says and I refuse.

"How do I know this is another murder, or if there is poison in it" I say.

"Trust me it's not" he says giving me the cup again and I sigh drinking it, it tasted normal.

He didn't poison it.

"Any more questions?" He asks.

"You said you had no family, what happened to them?" I ask and he sits back down.

"Personal reasons and I will not lead on" he says and I understand.

I close my suit case and sit it beside me on the floor.

"Look, I'm here to solve the case and close it, I will need it to be done in a few months, would it be fine if I came every now and then?" I ask and he stands up.

"It would be fine, after midnight. I will inform you from now, the case will be cold. It's not to be solved" he says

"Why is that?" I ask

"I'm sure you know why, this isn't my permanent location, if I wanted the police to arrest me they would've found me, this is rarely where I am most of the time you see, like I said I'm untraceable, don't bother" he says and I was confused.

"But it says on-"I was cut off.

"On the system, it changes every now and then, also there is no reception here" he says.

"Why?"

"You should be smart enough to know. How else would I commit my crimes?" He says walking closer to me and I gulp stepping back until I hit the wall.
