I returned to the crime scene after my conversation with Jack at the abandoned house. And as I arrived at the crime scene, everyone was at chaos as expected.
The body got transported to the ambulance for examination, and after what Jack did earlier, the physical body got cut in half just like the card itself as expected.
"Ms. Watson! There you are!", Jhon said as he approached me.
Since Jack said not to tell anyone about our deal, I decided to keep everything that happened earlier a secret.
"Where did you go earlier?", Jhon asked.
"I thought I saw someone suspicious, but it turned out it was just a beggar who was curious about the crime scene.", I said.
I looked at Jhon's back to pretend that I didn't know anything about what was happening, but little did he know, I already know everything.
"What's happening over there?", I asked.
"Oh yeah, I was about to say that.. The body got cut in half..", Jhon replied.
"Eh?! How?? Did someone cut it??", I asked.
"No, no.. It's just.. It got cut in half by itself.."
Jhon definitely has no idea about everything right now, but I'm also not supposed to say anything. My life is in danger, so I have to be careful at choosing my words from now on..
"Can I see?", I asked.
"Sure..", Jhon replied as he made a way for me.
Jhon made a way for me to the ambulance, but as I was about to go inside the ambulance, the Chief suddenly called out to me.
"Ms. Watson, where have you been?", the Chief asked as his voice was nearing to me from behind.
I looked back and saw him walking towards me with his hands in his pockets.
"I chased a beggar.", I replied.
"A beggar? What for?", he asked.
"Well.. I thought he was suspicious so I had to chase him, but it turned out that he was just curious about the case.."
I have to be really careful not to forget this reasoning.. If I get asked again soon and somehow forget this reason, then they'll find out that I'm hiding something..
"I see, did you check the body already?", the Chief asked.
"I was about to.. But Jhon told me that the body got cut in half by itself?", I asked.
"Yeah, it was really a shock to us. No one was close to the body besides ourselves, but the lower half got separated from the upper half all of a sudden.", the Chief said.
"We found out that it got separated when blood started flow from the body, but since it was covered we didn't see what actually happened until we uncovered it.", Jhon said.
"I see, what about the family's victim? Are they okay?", I asked.
"They still don't know that the victims body got cut in half for no apparent reason, but I also don't see the need to tell them.", the Chief said.
The Chief is right, even if we tell the victims family that the body got cut in half for 'no apparent reason', there's still no changing the fact that the victim is already dead.
"What do you suggest we do Chief?", I asked.
"I suppose we'll have to examine the body more at the lab, we'll wait for the results in the meantime.", the Chief said.
But still.. Even if they do some research of the body, they'll find no evidence of physical contact. Since the victim wasn't murdered physically, the victim was murdered spiritually..
"What do you think Ms. Watson?", Jhon asked.
"I agree with the Chief's suggestion, but..."
I had another suggestion of leaving the researching of the body to me, but even if I do that, it'll still not help me get rid of Jack, so in other words it's a waste of time..
"But...? What?", the Chief asked.
"Nothing.. Just give it to the CSI's and we'll wait for the results.", I said.
The two of them nodded and they continued to patch everything up and gave the body to the CSI's for body examinations.
After everything was patched up, the Chief decided to stay with the victims family for closure while Jhon and I began our investigation on the case. Since the murder was connected to the Reaper Case in some way, we decided to investigate that first before we proceed to the main case.
Jhon and I are currently in our office, looking for evidence from every file, and it's currently 11:48PM.
Even though I already know everything that happened, I decided to go with the flow of this event so that I won't get suspicious from their perspective.
"Ms. Watson, why don't we start interrogating the victims family first?", Jhon asked while still on his seat which is on the upper left away from mine.
"Good idea, but who do we start with?", I asked.
The victims name is Marco Kyler, male, 23 years old, 179cm tall and works at a Supermarket. Although he's a hardworking man, his personality is still unsure to us. So Jhon giving the call of interrogating the family is a good one, he's evolving.
"He has a Mother and a Sister, but apparently he's father died when he was just 14 years old. He's also single.", Jhon said.
"You really said the 'He's single' on the last part huh?"
"Hehe.", Jhon chuckled.
I don't know if he's jealous of the people who has relationships or maybe he's just... Salty.
"Okay so, when will we start the interrogations?", I asked.
"Tomorrow would be nice since it's almost midnight, I have to get some sleep as well..", Jhon said a he yawned.
"Sleep huh.. Or maybe you're just going to play more video games?", I asked teasingly.
"M-Ms. Watson.. If a case is serious then I have no time for games you know...", he said.
"Hmmmm...."
"It's true! I only played at that time because there was a certain reward that I wanna get!", he said as he stood up.
"Fine, Fine. Just make sure that you're on time tomorrow.", I said.
"O-Okay... By the way, what time are we going to interrogate them?", Jhon asked.
"Hmm.. Maybe by 10AM? You don't have any plans right? Well, not like you have any..", I said while mocking Jhon.
"Geh.. Fine.. 10AM. And I won't be late.", Jhon said.
"Sure, sure. Gamer..", I said while teasing him again.
He endured my last tease and returned to scanning the files of the case. I pretended to go back to scanning everything as well. But I was actually thinking about what Jack and I will do tomorrow evening..
He said that we'll meet at the abandon house tomorrow evening, meaning that the house is just a meet up place and he does have another place. Not to mention that the house itself will break down any day now..
But a Grim Reaper huh... I have no knowledge when it comes to mythologies, but I guess this will be the push to it. Grim Reapers mostly appear in their Spirit form right? But somehow Jack has a physical form, or maybe he just possessed that body.. I literally have no clue.
I suddenly heard cabinet noises from John's table and when I looked at his direction, he was already packing his stuff.
"Going home now?", I asked.
"Yeah, it turns out that even if I scan everything now, I won't go anywhere if we don't interrogate the family tomorrow.", he said as he continued to pack his stuff.
"I see. Then make sure to sleep immediately and don't play games.", I said.
"I know that Ms. Watson..", he said in an annoyed tone.
I chuckled a bit after hearing his reply.
After Jhon packed his stuff, he left the office and said goodbye to me.
Since I was left alone in my own office and got nothing to do anymore. I decided to go home as well.
After packing my stuff, I left the office and locked the door. Then later left the department and went home. The night was chilly at that time so I had to wear my coat as I walked.
After some time, I finally returned home and noticed that my door wasn't locked. Then I remembered that I immediately rushed to the crime scene earlier without locking the door.
"I hope no one snuck in..", I muttered to myself.
I slowly opened the door and all my senses were in full caution. After entering my apartment, I pulled my gun out and checked everything in my apartment.
Bubba was just sleeping on his bed and it seemed like he didn't wake up from my running earlier. That's good to know..
After checking everything, I decided that everything was clear and placed my gun on the table.
"Today was a rough day..", I said as I layed down on my bed.
I'll be doing interrogations with Jhon tomorrow on the victims family and by night, I'll be with Jack to do whatever he's planning to do.. I have to escape Jack's bracelet, but I guess in order to do that, I have to work with him for a month.
"This is such a hassle...", I said to myself.
My body was tired and so was my mind. So I decided to close my eyes but eventually I ended up sleeping.
