The Mafia Queen's Little Prince

CHAPTER 24: Please...Send help..

Pheonix's POV

11:07 pm, Thursday

My body was exhausted after walking for about 2 hours just for me to reach the city.

The streets were already empty. No cars, no people, Nothing.

No one to ask for help.

But as I turned to a corner, I was blessed when I saw a cop car parked at the street.

I immediately ran towards the vehicle and frantically cried for help.

Of course both of them were startled by my sudden appearance.

But after processing what was happening, they finally rolled down the window.

"May I help you? Young man?" One of the officers asked.

"I-I n-need your help! Th-this w-woman killed someone and is hiding them in her basement!" I reported as I tried my best to stand up straight since my legs could barely handle the pain.

"Do you see my shirt? It's splattered with fucking blood!! Please, you gotta help me!" I didn't even realized that I was already clutching the man's collar, both of them exchanging weird looks and quickly glanced back at me.

"Son, are you sure you're okay?" The other asked, his eyes were full of concern.

"NO, I AM NOT! I AM LITERALLY COVERED IN FUCKING BLOOD!! WHAT PART OF THAT IS FUCKING OKAY???" I exclaimed.

I couldn't handle myself since everything I've seen in that basement messed me up.

"Where?"

"Son, there is no blood on you. You look normal."

What?

"What do you mean where?? It's right here! It's in my sleeves, in my cuffs, it's even on my fucking face, damn it!" I yelled as I waved my arms around.

"Son.." He started.

"Don't call me son." I warned as I pointed at him.

"Why don't you take us to that place, hmm? Does that sound good? We'll make a report and you can go to a mental hospital." He whispered the last part but I paid no attention to it.

"S-sure.."

I entered the police car and we headed off.

"I'm telling you, it's real. Real as this blood stain on my clothes." I informed.

They gave me a slight nod and a hum in response.

As I gave them the last coordinates to the place, we finally arrived.

I immediately exited the vehicle, showing them the mansion.

The place was surrounded with trees.

It looked like a modern castle.

I went straight to the gate and rang their door bell.

As I glanced at the two police officers, the only thing they did was look at me with a bewildered expression.

"Boy, stop poking the tree." He ordered as they stood their behind me.

"Wh-what tree?" I asked, tilting my head ever so slight.

"And what mansion?"

"Kid, you told us you were gonna bring us to the 'body' that splashed your 'cloths' with 'blood'?" Using air quotes to emphasize everything that I was suppose to show.

"Instead you brought us to this big 'ol tree. And poking it."

I was speechless.

This must be a mistake.
