The Photographer & The Jolly Neighbor

28--

Lisa-

I stop my car few blocks from Jisoo's store and get out of my car with my backpack. I pulled the black cover at the trunk and cover my car.

7:30 pm

I quickly run back to Jisoo's store and made my way at the back where Jisoo is waiting for me. She open up the back door for me and I quickly changed my outfit from formal into black hoodie and sweat pants and put the gun that Jennie's dad lend to me,a swiss knife and my phone into a small belt bag. I put a black cap on my head and before I proceed to the plan, my phone rings.

We still have 25 minutes for the next plan so we quickly go out at the back door and I answer the call.

"Pranpriya. Let my man do it please it's not safe!"

                        "You didn't let me trained for a self defense for nothing dad. Jennie needs me"

"My men is on it let them do what I instructed them to do!"

                           "There's no more time dad! I already knew the culprit!"

"How sure are you anak?! Delikado! Just listen to me!"

                          "I'm thankful for all the help and being the best dad for me. But let me do this, Jennie needs me and I promise to take over the company kapag nakuha ko na siya. Please let me"

"Anak. I-- just let my men help you"

                          "Don't worry dad. I will call them as soon as possible I need to go time is clicking."

"Okay but one more thing anak"

                           "Make it quick dad I'm --"

"Come home with Jennie alive"

                          "I love you dad. I love you and mom so much"

"I love you too pranpriya"

With a final sigh, dad ends the call.its already 7:46 pm and we need to make a quick move. Jisoo helped me enter the back part of Kai's mini truck na mukhang truck ng basura sa dumi at sa mga kalawang sa palibot nito. with a black thick blanket covering on it, we both got shocked when we opened it up and saw two dead girl's body covered with a black plastic bag all over their bodies but their heads are still uncovered. She took out her phone and quickly took a shot at the dead bodies making sure that the truck and it's plate number can be seen on the picture. We pulled out one of the bodies and I help her out the dead body at the back of her office and she know what to do with it.

Settled na kong nakahiga sa tabi ng bangkay at bago pa tuluyan akong ma'cover ng black plastic bags, Jisoo let out a deep sigh and kiss the top of my hair.

"Bilisan mo na almost 8 pm na wag ka na madrama diyan! Magtataka na sila!" I said while smiling weakly at her.

She weakly smiles at me and nod.

"Thank you Chu. I love you guys" I finally said and saw her wipe a tear trying to escape her eyes. I heard the tying of the blanket again and all I can see is darkness and I can even smell the dead body beside me.

My automatic wrist watch instantly lightens up when I look at it and it's 8:05 pm when I heard the car door opens and closes in no time. The engine starts and slowly pick up my phone to turn on my GPS.

When I heard the engine stops, I quickly glance at my wrist watched and it declares 8:46 pm. Pinasok ko ang kamay ko sa loob ng bag ko and holds the gun and ready to shot him if ever na mahalata ni Kai na ibang katawan na ang isang bangkay.

I heard the car door opens then closed. I heard footsteps slowly fading and it signals me to get out from where I was hiding. I slowly peeked out my head and look around when I saw that only the light from the light post that brightens up the sorroundings.

Sinigurado kong walang sound na maririnig sa mga yabag ko si Kai or kahit sinong nasa paligid pero sa kutob ko, malayo siya sa kapitbahay. I made slow and quiet footsteps ahead and I saw a little yellow light turned on inside a mini apartment not far from where the car parked.

I made a call to Jisoo to let her know that I'm in spot where Kai lives. I took a photo of his home and send it to Jisoo. She said she was halfway from my GPS with our friends, dad's hired men and the police officers. With the dead body  from his car and the photo taken by her, we have the evidence we need to finally get the officer's attention and help and catch the serial killer.

I'm still nervous and worried at the same time when a commotion from his house triggers my bravery. I quickly but quietly run towards his house. I tried to peek from the window but the curtain is blocking my sight. I tried to twist and turn the doorknob but I can't open it. My phone beeps and I a message popped up from Jisoo.

"10 minutes Pran"

The message says.

I heard Jennie's scream followed by a creepy laughed from Kai as my eyes open wide. I didn't waste much time so I pull the trigger and fire up the doorknob which opens up instantly.

The door swung open and it reveals Jennie with a stained blood on her head. Nakagapos Ang dalawang kamay niya at obviously, kakatanggal lang ng tali sa paanan niya dahil naiwan sa kanyang kanang paa na nakasabit pa. My eyes watered from the sight and I quickly run to helped her. She was shaking her head non stop but I didn't mind her.

Nasa utak ko lang, pakawalan siya sa gapos. "Sa likod" she whispered and it started for me to get nervous knowing that she is telling me that Kai is behind me.

"What a lovely scene!" The crazy man said followed by the sound of a closing door.
