I nervously called the number, it wasn't reachable. I kept wondering who the person was and how they knew me. I decided to send a text message instead.
"What do you want?" I sent the text. My phone beeped again
"The truth" the person sent again
"I don't know who you are or the truth you need to know, I'm not your guy" I replied the text
"Let's meet. Freebird Port, 8pm tonight."
The last message came in
This could be a trap I thought. But I still got curious about who the person was. I wasn't sure what to do. I checked the time, it was 5:47. Whatever decision I wanted to make I had less than three hours to do so. I decided to call Sarah
"A number sent me a text now, could you trace it for me. It would be better if you could get information on the owner." I said to Sarah
"You got it." Sarah replied
I was just going to wait for Sarah's response before I make my move. That was what I decided as I drove back to the warehouse I was hiding.
Sarah called shortly after. It was already 6:45 then
"What did you find?" I asked hurriedly
"I'm so sorry for the delay Alex. My electricity was cut off. Had to get it sorted out. It's a dead end Alex. The person texted you with a burner phone. I can't trace it. What is it about?" She queried
I explained everything to are and how I was confused on what to do
"Oh my God, how did they find the video?" She asked
"As at the time I went there, I didn't know we were dealing with a situation this serious, I would have been more careful. I really want to meet the person to find out their connection to this case and what they know but then it could be a trap." I replied Sarah
"How about I go there first to check?" Sarah suggested
"No, I can't have you do that. That's too dangerous. I'm going to go, whatever happens you will have to carry on Sarah. If you don't hear from me 30 minutes after I'm there then you should know something is wrong okay?"
"Oh my God, this is really scary. Do you have to go?"
"As much as I'm scared of how this might turn out, I still need to find out who this person is and what they know. We still haven't figured out much so we need all the information we can gather right now."
"Just be careful" Sarah said
"I will and I'll call you when I get there"
I had to prepare my mind for the worst. This could be the beginning of this or the end. But then I decided to go with the saying of a once lived queen
"If I perish, I perish" I said to myself
I had hope my story would end up like hers.
I got to the port 7:47. My hands and feet were shaking in anxiety. I kept praying this wouldn't be my last. I kept checking the time, it felt like it wasn't moving at all. I just wanted to get done with this and move on or maybe not?
A call came in as I was thinking. I almost jumped out of my skin from the shock.
"Where are you?" The voice asked
It was a woman's voice. A young woman, that sounded familiar. It could be because I listened to people voices for a long time but her voice really sounded familiar.
I told her where I was
"Stay there, I'll come to you."
I got out of the car and stood beside it.
I saw a lady in a black hood and black pants walk towards me. My heart raced as I started breathing heavily. I almost had a panic attack like I did back then when I saw the cut off private part. It was actually worse this time.
The lady stood few meters in front of me.
"Are you the counselor?" She asked
"Ye.. yes I am." I said with hesitation
She swiftly drew something out and pointed it at me. It was a pistol! I was finally seeing my end.
"Why did you kill him?" She asked with a shaking voice
"Kill who?" I asked trembling in fear
"Why did you kill Dr Thompson?!" She asked again raising her voice
"No,no,no I didn't kill him, I was framed please." I said again as I pleaded
"People come to you to pour out their hearts and share things they couldn't tell their loved ones or friends with you and then you get rid of them or what? You should have done so with me too then!"
I became really confused amidst my fear. She sounded like she had spoken with me before or knew me personally.
"Do you know me?" I asked again still trembling
"You should remember the police officer you had a session with about her sexual identity" she replied
"Sexual identity?? Yes I remember!" I replied immediately
"I'm that police officer and Dr Thompson is my father, now why did you kill him?"
