As soon as Nicole woke up, he turned on the television and sipped his daily morning coffee. The same old news keep being broadcasted for a few months. At this point, Nicole already remembered what the reporter have to say.
"The mass murder on 10 January hasn't been caught yet. We advise you to stay at home and went out if only needed."
Nicole sighed and took some of the homewelcoming gift he planned to gift to his new neighbour next door, heading out of his room.
He knocked on his door silently and the door opened to a half-naked man still yawning. Looks like Nicole's knocking and him constantly pushing the bell, woke the tenant up.
"Hello, my name is Nicole and welcome to the neighbourhood." said Nicole as he took out the homewelcoming gift to him.
"Yes, my name is Ren. Thank you for the gift."
As he looked up, Nicole eyes widened and the other one is also surprised as he dragged Nicole in instantly.
"Why are you here?" ask Nicole.
"Who knows?" he shrugged his question.
Ren locked the door and sits on the sofa, staring at Nicole while Nicole was casually looking around the apartment.
"You haven't unpacked your stuff?"
"I just moved here yesterday. Of course i haven't."
Nicole just give Ren a look and nodded. "So, why would you drag me here?"
"Witness shall be murdered as dead man tells no tale." said Ren as he gets up and already behind Nicole, grabbing his neck.
"But, you do know that i'm not someone you can kill casually." ask Nicole and jabbed his stomach.
Nicole turned around as that man squirmed in pain.
"So what do you say if i offer a deal?"
"You want to strike a deal with a murderer? Are you seeking death?" ask Ren.
"Death is something i don't see as a fear." said Nicole.
Ren who finally stood back up, looked at the man in front of him. He's surprised that a short blonded man in front of him, has the eyes with no will.
He never see anyone like him before, as someone who he faced with always has a tinge of will to live.
"Alright, what's your deal?"
