Chapter 18 - The Beginning Of A New Problem.

The Next day....

"Ahh, Friday, I should take a break from work... Ever since Denzel called yesterday, I have been feeling somewhat strange, probably something must have gone wrong, but not sure what it is, He didn't even say anything about his friends. Well thinking a lot won't do, I need to go check on Carrie."

A man in his mid forties stood up from his bed and took out a shirt that he hung on his bed stand and then he moved towards the door after wearing a babouche.

"Carrie! Carrie!"

He received no response, and he moved out of his room and turned, walking to a room whose door was left opened. He looked in while holding the handle of the door and when he saw how disorganized the room was he shook his head and closed the door.

'She mustn't have gone to Den's room because her's a dumpsite.' The man, Miller Chris thought as he moved out, scratching his head and soon, he got to another room, which was way more disorganized than the one he earlier came from.

"Ahh! Carrie is killing me smalls. Carrie! where are you?"

When Denzel's dad received no response, he moved into the room. He saw that the television was still turned on, with the volume at it's highest. He sighed, and walked to the bed to get it's remote, as he did, he looked at the bedside clock.

"Huh, It's just 7:35 am, where would Carrie be? I didn't think she going somewhere today..."

Chris knocked his head after he came to realisation that it was a Friday and not a Saturday.

"But still, this is quite early for Carrie to rush out of the house. Maybe she has an early duty at school-"

As Chris kept thinking aloud, he was interrupted by the television whose volume was loud as it could be.

-Masan Broadcasting Station presents you latest news update from MMN.-

"Ohh, let me hear this before I turn it off." Chris said as he sat on the bed slowly and that was when he noticed a girl, in her late teens, walk in with a headset covering her ears. That was Carrie, Denzel's younger sister, entering the room with a cup of tea in her hands.

"Mornin' Dad!"

"You naughty girl, I thought you had gone to school, You have been in the kitchen downstairs all this while, with that loud headphone on your head."

Chris hit Carrie in her back and that made her react, which made the head set fall off her head to her neck.

"Dad!"

"Huh?!"

Chris laughed after yelling back at his daughter who was also smiling.

-On Wednesday, the 17th of November 2051, Three dead bodies were found at Autumn park, Hilldale, Masan. The identities of the deceased are; Hall Rocco, Allen Carter and Luna Ariel.-

Chris looked at the television and something caught his eyes, he took the picture frame on the stool beside Denzel's bed. He looked at the picture in it and looked back on the television. His mouth was completely wide open as he was shocked.

"Carrie, call your brother now."

-In accordance to the investigation, the deceased bodies were brutally massacred with an M.D carved in their bodies, and it is guessed to be a person's initials.

The officers at the park claimed that they searched four people, and the fourth person is still missing. While investigating, the fourth person was found and concluded to be the murderer and his identity is Miller Denz...-

"Eh! This can't be real, no like Denzel doesn't even have the mind to kill a rabbit, it isn-"

"Dad, Denzel's line isn't going through, like...like when did Big bro become a murderer?"

They were all in panic, pacing round the room.

*********************************************

"Bitch!"

Ted got up from his bed, moving towards the television stand and as soon as he got there, he took no time to put it off. He was really fraustrated seeing how they had fabricated all of the evidence, to make Denzel turn into the culprit.

"Denzel, I am sure he is in trouble, police and stuffs, I should call him.." Ted said, moving back to his bed to pick up his cell phone. He dialed Ted's number and in a minute, it went through.

On the other end, Denzel was tensed as adrenaline made him think of nothing but to run, to anywhere he could, he kept on moving round the room, frightened, and due to the adrenaline, he didn't feel any pain in the leg, he had little concern about that.

*Ringgg*Ri-*

His phone rang out and immediately he saw it was Ted, he picked it quick.

"Ted... Ted.. I.. I am dead meat."

-Denzel, gee, chill a bit, calm down, I can understand you more than anyone.-

"Yeah man, but what do you think I might be able to do? In a second, my home's gonna be crowded with police officials and Vehicles."

Denzel kept talking, as he breathed hard. He had gotten enough trauma from the death of his friends and now, a new problem had arose.

-Denzel, since you said that, it means no one has gotten over there. Denzel, can you move?-

"I can, I am moving right now."

-You think you can come to my place now?-

"No I can't, I am severely injured."

-Okay, you know what, I am coming over to your place right now, and before I get there, pack as much stuffs as you can and as soon as I arrive, we take off. You grab?-

"Yes man, thanks a lot."

-Get moving!-

Ted hung up the call and immediately he did, Denzel jumped up, took a bag and started putting many stuff in it. His cell phone kept ringing, he looked at it, and saw that it was his dad.

'Dad must have heard about it too, Carrie too.' Denzel thought crying, thinking about his family back at Oceandire, and the shame he had caused them.

'Carrie always said I shouldn't show up near her at school but because I was soo stubborn, all her friends knew me, now they will only view her as the sister of a murderer. Dad I am sorry, but I can't pick the call.'

Denzel declined the call, and soon, heard a car horn outside. As fast as he could, he moved to check who it was and he saw Ted's car and the moment he noticed it was Ted, he went out, sneaking till he got into the car.

"Ted, thanks a lot, I owe you one."

"Let's forget about that now, we need to get the hell outta here, I am sure you can hear those sirens."

"Yeah I can."

"Let's move" Ted said, turning the steering of the car, and immediately, the car drove off as fast as it could.
