The Painter

Part 5

She gets the four paintings hanging in the wall and then lined it in the floor.

She looked carefully at the paintings.

"Pieta is a sculpture, not a painting. Spoliarium is painted by Juan Luna, there is a mystery in The Last Supper, a controversy is said in the Madonna of the Rocks, how the hell I can get a conclusion in these four paintings?" she thought to herself looking closely in the three paintings.

"Wait, a conclusion is maybe a theory a hypothesis or a clue........."

"The closest is I'm getting a clue ............."

"But, what are the clues? And about what?!"

"Is it an answer to a trivial question? A clue for a sacred knowledge? A clue for a treasure buried here at school?"

She stopped.

The word just hit her.

"Buried.........."

She immediately looked at the paintings.

"I'm searching for an event, an event happened a long time ago...."

She thought deeply.

".............Pieta, Pieta, Pieta, wait, I noticed that Jesus' left hand is placed in his stomach, but what does it have to do with my conclusion?"

After 10 minutes of her eyes burned because of looking in the paintings, she shouted at her might.

"HAAAAAAAAA!!!!! I'M SO IRRITATED! I SHOULD STOP!!!"

She gets the four paintings on the floor and hung them to their designated areas. While she is hanging Pieta, she noticed something at the back of it. A piece of paper and there is a name and description in it:

Fatima Reyes is a great person, she is the Editor-in-Chief of The Painter, she is so persistent that she even sleep and have dinner here in the school just to do the articles and editing. She is also the president of Art club, a prestigious club here at Michael Angelo, and she is a very good painter at early age. Her painting that was named The Hole in the Forest Floor is placed in the National Museum. The said painting is a portrait of a hole in the forest floor but the hole is enough to engulf a human being.

Someone killed her........someone.........find who, find when and find how......help her........someone killed her.......someone killed her......

Her heart was pounding when she read the paragraph at the back of the picture. Because clues from the first three paintings starts to land in her mind rapidly. Except for Madonna of the Rocks.

She got again the paintings. While she's getting Madonna of the Rocks, she stopped and looked at it carefully. Thoughts are starting to land on his mind: "we don't know how she was murdered" "she stays here overnight" "she's the last Editor-in-Chief of The Painter" Rapidly, she eyed at the hand of Uriel. "She's pointing at Jesus Christ," she thought to herself. "But this is one of the paintings Angelica wants me to observe. There has to be a clue here"

She looked again at the hand of Uriel.

"She's pointing at something" she thought to herself.

Nervously, she followed the direction Uriel is pointing aside from Jesus Christ.

It pointed to a small window in the Museum.

Maureen walks slowly as she went closer to the said window while hearing the thunderclaps outside.

She opened it slowly.
