"You were the one that I could run to, but now I'm stained by you"

Y/N's POV

I woke up and does my usual routine including running to catch up on the bus because somehow I'm always late.
On the bus, I put my headphones on and I keep my sight at the window beside my head.

The window got blurry because of coldness from outside, so I wiped off the ice from it. Just when I did that I saw a man holding a knife and a woman next to him, everything was white around, but not around them, there was something red on the white of the snow. I was trying to fix the two of them to see what was happening, but the snowflakes were an obstacle as well for my vision.

All I could see was that man looking like he was laughing and the woman fall down in the snow. I wasn't able to see their faces or anything specific to describe them, since both were covered up with coats.

I was a bit shocked, and I look around in the bus to see if someone saw what happened too, but everyone looked so calm and distracted.

At some point, I thought I imagined everything because of the case I got. Last night I spent it all looking at all the photos with crime scenes I got from my colleagues to see if I got any clue of who might be the mysterious killer. And yet I didn't get any idea of his or her purpose to kill all these people.

I'll see if I can get more proves at my office so I can establish an idea of what our wanted killer can do and how dangerous it is.

At the office

"Good morning, detective Y/L/N!"

"Good morning Agent Smith. Any news?"

"Nothing much. Did you find anything?"

"Not really, I think I need to see some of the proves of a few crimes to actually make an idea with whom we are fighting to catch"

"Sure. Wait here, I'll be back in a second"

I nod and watch him leaving his office by the back door. Suddenly, to my surprise, his station turn on.

"We have an emergency! On the Toshimuro street number 143, next to a bus station a man report to had found a body! I repeat we need reinforcements!"

"T-Toshimuro Street? Damn it!" My eyes widened and I start to shiver by the anger I was holding into me at that moment.
"I know it was something wrong...Agent Smith!"

"Oh? Detective Y/L/N what's wrong? You don't seem-"

"It's an emergency on the Toshimuro street, number 143. We need to go now! They found another body"

Agent Smith nod, took his keys and I followed him outside to his car.

The whole ride was quiet, but I could clearly notice that agent Smith was tensioned about it.

When we arrived at the crime scene, we saw a woman's body full of blood standing in the cold snow, and a lot of people who were watching scared everything.

"We need to take the body to examination now. If the cause of death is similar to the other bodies we found these past weeks, means this is the same killer" I said passing under the yellow band to take a look. Damn it, I realized it was the same coat as the woman from earlier wore. It really was a murder scene that I saw. I was this murder scene. I could have prevented it, but I ignored it...

"Detective Y/L/N? Did you found something?"

"Not yet. But the body seems to be stabbed several times until she died. The medic legit can tell us the exact hour when she died."

It took about an hour to take the body and close up that perimeter and take all the proves.

Late at night

"Detective? Aren't you going home? It's pretty late"

"Huh? Oh I didn't saw, I was all caught up in these proves"

"I see. Let's go now, I'm in charge to close up the office and you are the only one left"

"Alright" I took my purse and coat on, and I go-ahead to the front door of the police station.

"Goodnight agent!"

"Goodnight. Take care on your way home"

"I will"

     Even though most of my way home I pass it with the bus, the bus station was still not so far but enough from my house.  So I was regardless needed to walk in the dark.

    I wasn't really scared, since I'm a detective I know how to protect myself and I always have a gun with me.

  I was almost in front of my building when I heard a moan from somewhere close to where I was standing. I stopped for a moment and I tried to understand from where that sound came from.

   I was about to continue my walk thinking that maybe it was an animal or something like that, when the noise persist.

  I put slowly my hand into my purse to take my gun and go to the way where I thought that the noises came from.

It was a dark tiny street between two buildings next to my house.

  "Agh...damn it...fuck it hurts"

  I heard a deep male voice.  When I made a few steps more I saw I mad standing on the ground and holding his stomach.  I instantly get into my knees and took off my phone to turn the light on. That's when I saw he was covered in bandages and his stomach was bleeding badly, although he was also dressed way too thin for the cold that was outside.

  "Hey, are you okay?"

  "Huh?! Who the fuck are you?"

  "I'm here to help. Who did you this?"

  "A bitch. And I don't need your help"

  "Yes, you need it. You are bleeding badly. Can you get up on your feet? My house is nearby-"

   "Why in the world would you want so bad to help me? Agh- fuck"

   "Come here, let's go " I took his arm helping him to get up and walk.
