The Dreadful Deed

Chapter 12

Monday arrived, the worst day for all people. Right now, Irene is still sleeping peacefully, until the alarm rang waking her from her slumber. She stood up and turned the alarm off, she looked at it and saw the time. She stared at the object before her and immediately panicked knowing that she is going to be late for classes. So, she sped off and quickly fixed herself for her classes. Luckily, she arrived just in time before the teacher came in. Time passed by and lunch break arrived. Irene went out of the classroom and headed for the cafeteria, she bought food and went to an empty spot to eat. After finishing her food, she waited for a while, so her stomach could digest it properly. Irene just waited peacefully, but then she heard two people behind her seat, talking about someone going missing and killed again.

Irene stood up and immediately contacted Klaudius. He answered instantly.

"What's up?" Klaudius answered in a hoarse voice, obvious that he just woke up.

"I heard rumors about someone going missing and killed, is it true?" Irene replied seriously.

"I don't know, how about asking others?" Klaudius asked and when Irene was about to reply, Klaudius interrupted her.

"But you do it." Irene just agreed and ended the call.

Irene went off to talk to people about the rumor, she saw some girls talking to each other, so she asked them about the rumor. They said that 3 people went missing and are likely to be dead by now. Irene thanked them and she called Klaudius again, so she could relay the information to him and to go to where he is at. Irene walked through the hallway thinking about the one or two who could be at fault.

Then her phone suddenly vibrated, indicating that either someone texted her, or some app notified her about something. She grabbed her phone from her pocket and opened it. Once she opened her phone, she went to the messages and saw that an unknown number texted her. She tapped on the unknown's message and read what it said.

"If there are more people that are going to be killed, then that means they started their plan." Irene was left curious thinking about who this unknown person is, so she discarded that thought and decided to think about it later. Now her only problem is who are 'they', she first thought that the 'they' and the unknown was referring to multiple individuals. Then she thought that if there are many individuals, then not only 3 are to be targeted but more, so she thought it was only one person planning all this.

Irene contacted Klaudius again and told him all about what happened during her investigation. After explaining to Klaudius, she asked him when they would meet.

"Tomorrow" he replied shortly and ended the call immediately, returning back to his sleep.

She left to her dorm to rest after this what happened this day.

After the class, they met in the cafeteria where they always met. Irene tells the anonymous person who texted her yesterday.

"Someone texted me yesterday" Irene stated

"Oh, who is it?" Klaudius raised a brow, curious.

"It's an unregistered number but it said that If there are many people that are going to be killed, that means that they started their plans already" Irene sighed

"I would really love to rest and have a decent sleep but catching that stupid person is our priority." He shook his head

"What do you mean? You always sleep!"

"Shut up, let's go now"

They saw Yin standing behind the pose of the cafeteria and approached him to greet him but he is just so busy texting someone that piqued Irene and Klaudius' curiosity.

"I know that you miss me sugar but sorry, I'm busy right now," Yin said still texting

"Oh, you are so full of yourself! Let's get going Klaudius" They turned their backs at him and left him.

Irene secretly took a look at Yin's phone and read his reply to his textmate that the killer is only around the school. Irene pulls Klaudius towards her and left the cafeteria. While they are walking, she told him what she read a while ago. They suddenly looked at each other.

"Are you also thinking what I'm thinking?" she spoke softly

"I don't know, but it's wrong to assume that he is the killer this early considering that we don't have concrete evidences" Irene nodded at him and they immediately started their two-man investigation.
