Chapter 2 - The Grief

At the crime scene....

There was a small crowd around the cornfields when the police arrived..... Everyone was in a state of panic.... The Muder Site was completely sealed and none was allowed exept the police officers.....The police started to interrogate the people present there.... The police asked the first person to discover the corpse to come forward ... An old man in is 70s came forward and claimed that he was the first to discover the corpse... The interrogation started....

Officer: Sir were you the first to discover the corpse??

Old Man: Yes Officer... I am the in charge of the warehouse of the cornfields which located at the other side of the field..

Officer:So how did you find it??

Old Man:Sir I happened to forget something at the warehouse so I went there to fetch it.... but suddenly I heard some screams..

Officer:Can you say where did you heard the screams??

Old Man: From there... (pointing towards the crime scene).... When I heard it I ran towards that direction.....

Officer: Did you see something.. like someone else... doing something

Old Man: No sir.... When I arrived there it was too late..... I only saw that girl lying on the ground... I was so terrified that I could not even move from my place....

Officer: Ok... so how did you call us??

Old Man: Sir it was not me who called you... Some other people also heard the screams I guess.... I was collapsed there when that young boy and the lady came to rescue me.....

Officer: Ok Sir.... Thank you for your Co-operation

Forensic Officer: Sir... the gender of the corpse is confirmed.... it's a girl... her age may be 15-17...she should be a school student.... and here are photos of the corpse taken.....

The mother and father quickly approached the police ...

Forensic Officer: Sir here are the photos.... The victim is wearing a black over coat... jeans and a red shirt....

Mom: What!? Can you please repeat again....what did you say??

Officer: Ma'am you should stand there(pointing towards the crowd)... It's the crime scene.... you should stay away.

Mom: My d..d..d..daughter was wearing the s.. s.. s.. same clothing as you mentioned now.....

Father : Calm Down!! Honey

Mom: He said the same CLOTHING as my d.. d.. daughter!!!! It's not possible... it can't be possible.. Right!!???

Officer:Are you sure.. it's the same clothing..

Father : Wait a second.....Honey ... nothing will happen.... don't worry!!

Officer: Ok!! Please check this photos... for confirmation..

(Officer showing the photos to both of them)

The father just had a glance of it..... He was shocked for a moment that he almost collapsed.... The mother then saw the pictures.... and she was so freaked.... that she fainted on site.... She was immediately taken to the hospital..... When she woke up... It was like her life has been devasted....

She could not even said a word except tears rolling down her cheeks... The father was also grief-ridden but when asked ...he confirmed that the corpse was of her daughter...The neighbors had brought their son to the hospital.... He could not understand for a moment.....An Officer was holding some picture of his sister.... He by

mistake saw the photos and the way his sister was brutally killed became the reasons of his nightmares.....

The Next day at Police Station...

The Chief and other officers held a meeting about this recent case....

Chief: The reports from Forensic Department have came.... It's confirmed that the victims head was first hit with a stone or any other big object..... Then the victims neck was strangled for a few times and then a knife was stabbed in her stomach.... The cause of death is due to heavy blood loss....

Officer: It's really a shame to the police station..... that a small girl has been killed brutally... like an animal.... We must do something to find the criminal...

Another Officer: The way the killer killed is also very horrific.....

Chief: Yes...After killing the victim.... he made her join her hands..... and laid her on a white cloth with her blood stained on that..... In so many years of my career I have never seen someone to kill this mercilessly.... We have to find this BASTARD!!!!!!!!

At Hospital....

Mom:Where's my daughter???Honey!! What are you doing here.... I have to make breakfast for my children.... let's go home.... Why are we here??? Whare are the children.... Kris.. you came... Son.. .. Where is your sis... did you both quarreled again?? You both have 3 years of difference... yet you quarrel like wild cats... Quickly call her.... U know she is a glutton... Without eating she won't even go to school...

Father: Doctor!! Please check my wife.... She is not acting normal...

Doctor: Yesterday's incident was too much for her.. she could not handle it... Now she is having some psychological problems.... She can't accept her daughter's death...

Mom: What are you doing ... Kris .... Call her!!

Kris: STOP IT!!!! Mom!!! My sister died.... because of you and..... also me..... If you hadn't told her to go to the store .....this would have never happened.....

Mom: What are you telling.... this is not possible.... It's all my fault.... No.... Never....It's all my Fault ..... Ana.... Ana.... Sorry Ana....
