"You guys are the ones who called us! what's your relationship with her?" Police inquires

"I'm Lucy and I'm her colleague, college best friend, and former roommate"

"I'm Rohan I'm also a friend and a colleague of Roshini"

"I'm Jeffery she was my schoolmate- friend and office colleague"

"Why did you guys come here?"

"I told them to .. yesterday I came here to know whether to find out what happened to her she was not coming to the office for 4 days so... I encountered a thief, I don't know if he was a murderer I panicked and came to them to ask their help"

"Mmm, do you know anything about the man?"

"I'm sorry it was pitch black I couldn't see his face but yeah his height was higher than me by 2-3inches"

"Why didn't you call the police yesterday itself if you had encountered something like this ?"

"My mind was in a mess... I regret it! I regret it he would've been captured by you " Lacy hits her head hard.

"It's alright now! Go ahead to your home and have a sleep now if there's anything else We will call you"

"Okay and yeah there's a CCTV camera behind that flower vase and also outside the main door please investigate it properly please"

"Yes sure"

They took off to their respective houses stunned. Lucy was in a complete trauma as she had never encountered this kind of situation. The other day the murder news was all over the internet and TV. Her parents were mourning over her death, Lucy and others went for the funeral. Lucy cried her eyes out as they were best friends and they were emotionally attached. Rohan hugs Lucy "It's alright we will find out who the culprit is sooner"

The next day at the office

"Lucy, how are you holding up?" Rohan passing her some documents.

"I guess I'm fine but... I'm afraid of living alone I guess I should look for a roommate "

"Sounds good! do it " Rohan encourages.

Lucy posts the rental information onto the internet.

2 days passed no one came looking for the apartment.

The days passed by as usual.

*Bell rings.*

Lucy opens the door.

"You are?"

"I saw your post online "

"Oh, you came for the apartment? But I'm sorry I need a girl roommate, not a boy "

"Oh well! If you change your thoughts just tell me to know please, this is my number" Hands out a paper.
