Chapter 13 - Longing For The Brave One

After collecting all of these data, I needed to analyze then all together. I pretty sure that the two first owners were killed here, then Ruit has discovered their dead and the criminals had to kill her to hide their doings. However, this is only a theory, I can't guarantee until I see everything with my eyes.

"Jonathan" I whispered "Listen to me, but don't get mad."

"What is it, honey?" he chuckled "I can't be angry with you"

"Tomorrow, go search for the closest police station"

"Are you sure you want so?"

"If you don't do so I'll be killed too"

"Ok, let's go together tomorrow"

"No!! No, I won't, I'm staying here, I must watch them and solve some problems"

"Lilian, you're kidding, you can't stay alone here!"

"Jonathan, I must I can't leave!"

"Lili stop it right now! You're not a detective so stop acting so! You're coming with me no matter what you have.."

"You're not my father! You can't stop me, stop it Jon, I'm a grown up, I can do whatever I want!"

"Lillian.. I'm worried about you, you know how many dangers you faced, what if they pointed a pistol at your head, then you felt frightened and cried. I can't be with you... Do whatever you want, none of my business"

He, then, left my room and shut the furiously. He left me alone for the first time.

The room was cold, I locked the door and windows, closed the curtains and turned on my air conditioner.

I didn't rest at ease a moment, it felt risky to stay unalerted here, so I stayed up for the whole night, holding a long rod.

...

The next morning, I prepared the equipments i need to start this risky mission, this part of my investigation will determine whether I'll find the truth or even DIE!

I packed up a pair of kitchen knives that I might need, a shovel, a cellphone, a light and a lock-picking.

Afterwards, Jonathan entered my room and apologized for getting angry last night, he told me that he will help me with my plan and do whatever i ask for.

"Listen honey..." he spoke "... I know you need my help to discover the truth about this mansion, I'm gonna help.. I will inform the closest police station. But please don't do anything dangerous."

"I'll try" I whispered

"Tell me now.. What is going in your mind?"

"It's not worth mentioning.. Nothing important"

"Just tell me what you will do, I can at least rest at ease"

"I.. I'm going to enter there.."

"You don't say it! You will enter the room??!"

"I must!"

"Oh, Lili. They will find you and kill you.."

"Ummm.. I know.. Thats why you must hurry.."

"No no no no.. Just no, you can't do it"

"Jon.. Dear.. I can do it, don't worry, just trust me and hurry find policemen. If you are late, you can't save me.. So hurry up.."

"When will you move?"

"At dim light"

"I'll be here before.. Be well and safe"

Jon hugged me before he went out of the house to search for the station as soon as possible. It felt like its our last hug.. I can't believe that the scaredy cat will act as the hero now..

This night will be a crucial night.. My mission to enter the room just begun.. And I have to be canny and wary.. My heart is throbbing fastly.. As if this will be the last day in my life..

Something bad is surely to happen..

...

At 8:05 pm, there was slightly a light, I had to wait a bit so that no one can notice my movements.. I know that they are watching me thoroughly and won't allow me to uncover the truth then continue living on.. They will do anything to keep the case and the bodies lost and hidden..

The time is stalling and lengthening, the minutes feel like hours, and the light is vanishing and the clocks chimes feel so noisy.

Tic.. Tac.. The voice is getting louder

Tic.. Tac.. The seconds are growing longer..

Tic.. Tac.. I feel nervous as the time passes..

Tic.. Tac..

Tic.. Tac..

Tic.. Tac..

I can't bear to wait for the suitable time for going on and digging into the barbaric crime. I feel that I must move now... I feel that I shouldn't move at all and stay safe...

...

At 9:00 pm, finally the light disappeared and the clouds covered the moon.. It was a total darkness..

The eucalyptus swished and rustled furiously by the wind's enormous power, the weather was as cold as a corpse, the owls screamed vexatiously and the black hole of the room swallowed me and drew me nearer..

I walked quietly and silently towards it, it was dark and moisty. Just as expected, half constructed, closed by a rusty metallic door and secured by a new lock and chain.

I knew it, they are changing the lock from a while to while.

I picked up my lock-picking and inserted it into the lock to open it. Upon moving around, the door and chains formed an outrageous lurid noise.. I felt that I'm already a dead body and I'll get caught at the same moment.

I put myself together and gathered up what was left of my courage to continue my work. After unlocking the door, it started squeaking while opening it.. It was just a narrow opening that can barely allow me to enter.

And I did what was waited!
