They all gossip as they march up the stairs. Isabella eagerly knocks on the door. They wait for the door to open and reveal their mother, but the door doesn't open. Jackson knocks again and calls for his mother but no answer.
'Maybe she is gone outside?' Isabella mutters.
'Let me call her,' Jackson pulls his phone out and dials her number.
A few moments later, they hear the phone ring, 'The ringing is coming from inside,' Sebastian places his ear against the door.
'Then, why isn't she answering?' Isabella exclaims fearfully.
Jackson shouts for his mother a few more times then pushes the door, 'Something is wrong.'
'Break the door,' Isabella suggests. Sebastian and Jackson both start ramming against the door weakening the bolts. Due to the noise, a crowd is created. They all begin mumbling and cursing.
'What are you doing?' an elderly woman shouts, 'You are damaging someone's property.'
'Lady, shut up, my mum is not opening the door,' Isabella yells back, the woman instantly steps back. The boys manage to break the door down and they rush in.
They look around the living room, but no sign of Julia.
'Mum?' Isabella screeches. No answer. Then splashes are heard, they all look down to see the flat covered in water.
'Is there a leakage?' Vivian asks.
'Check the bathroom,' Sebastian shouts. They all panic and frantically start searching the flat. Vivian joins along in spite of knowing that Julia is in the bathroom.
A few seconds later, a deafening shriek resonates from the bathroom. Isabella stands there with a horrific expression and her shivering hands cover her mouth.
Sebastian quickly hurries to her side and Jackson follows. Vivian is the last one to reach there.
'MUM!' Isabella screams as she witnesses this horrendous sight.
'FUCK!' Jackson shouts out and walks towards the bathtub. Sebastian hugs Isabella who is bawling her eyes out, her screams ringing through the floor.
Julia's body soaked in liquid, ongoing slow water that filled the tub and continued flowing. Jackson swiftly turns the tap off. It has been a few days since her body submerged in the water. Her skin turned pale with dead eyes wide open and the water smeared with her blood. Her features are too gory to view. Jackson quickly moves back and calls the police. He calls Raymond too.
Raymond enters the flat and runs to his wife. However, he is blocked by the police officers, 'Sir, you cannot go near the body.'
'That's my wife, you cannot fucking stop me,' Raymond yells back, tears forming in his eyes and gently rolling down his cheeks.
'Sir, please, you have to understand,' the officer says.
Raymond ignores and punches him straight across his face, 'Fuck you, what do you know of loss. My wife is dead, and you aren't letting me see her,' he screams. Few more officers enter and grab Raymond, they quickly handcuff him as he struggles and curses.
Isabella quickly runs as she hears her father's voice, 'Dad,' she whispers. Jackson follows her and yells at the officers for handcuffing his father, they swiftly unlock them out of fear.
'What happened?' Raymond whispers as he falls to his knees.
'She's gone,' Isabella mutters in disbelief, 'She left us, and I didn't even get to see her.'
