Chapter 1 - "FIRE THAT'S CLOSEST KEPT BURNS MOST OF ALL"

"Go find another way out!" a man shouted at the top of his lungs. Everyone is panicking and hysterically screaming, looking at the fierce fire.

NEWS REPORT;

A fire broke out on the xxx Business complex earlier today. About twenty people are still trapped on the third floor, and about 100 are rescued.

'Have you seen my dad?' a girl asked the fireman with a frantic look on her face. The girl ran towards the blazing fire when people stopped her.

'No!!! Please!' the girl screamed with tears in her eyes.

'Here, come, come this way, everyone!', a man said as he helped the injured pass the emergency exit with haste.

'Where's your friend?' he asked the boy. The boy has a burnt arm, but the man is disturbed because it looks like it felt nothing to him.

'I can't find him, the boy answered.

'I'll go fetch him, the man ran towards the fire. The boy followed with all his might. When the man noticed him, he told him to go back.

'I can help; I think he's at the office.'

'But you're injured.'

'No, it's alright, I can manage. Come quickly.' the boy answered courageously.

'Ok, we have to drench ourselves first.'

The two of them went to the restroom to soak themselves with water.

'Have you found him?' the man asked.

'No, he's not here. Maybe he's in the other room.'

'He's here; help me get him up,' the man said.

'Ben! wake up,' the boy tried to wake up his friend but to no avail. His friend's face was burnt but still recognizable.

'Use this to cover his nose,' the man reached for the wet towel.

'What happened here?' the boy asked curiously as he gazed at the pool of blood.

'It's not an accident, I'm sure of it.' the man was surprised at what he saw.

'He's my father, why?!. What happened?' the boy snapped.

'Let's go; we have to leave; we will be caught up in the fire.' the man pulled the boy's arm as they ran away from the room.

NEWS REPORT:

Ten are confirmed dead in yesterday's fire at the xxx business complex. There were a lot of casualties in the accident, and the cause is still under investigation.

[After 15 years]

A body covered in hardened cement was discovered in the Pxxxx river. The police are searching for witnesses in the area. This is the sixth body discovered abandoned in the Mxxx Mxxx area.

[At a nearby police station]

'Do you think you could do a better job?' yelled the police chief angrily at his subordinates.

'You've been looking into this for months and still have no leads?.'

'But, sir, no witnesses or clues have been found in the areas,' the police lieutenant replied.

'Then look elsewhere, id*$! ', the Police Chief said as he exited the room and slammed the door.

'Are you all right, man?'

Yes, I'm still stressed; the Chief was correct. We're worthless.'

'Hey! Don't say that!', we have done our job, right? It's just that the perpetrator was so cunning and evasive that we couldn't catch him. But I promise you; we'll catch his tail soon. Hahahahaha!!

'You still don't change, do you?

'

'Did you hear? SPO II de Leon exclaimed, 'We have a new transfer today.'

'That's correct. I believe she is from the United States. Inspector Carreon expressed concern. 'The Chief speaks highly of her.'

'Oh, I never expected a woman to join us.' Hahahaha. 'I hope she's lovely.'

'You always think that way!'

The men exchanged laughter.

'Inspector! We've got a report! '

'What exactly is it?

'A body was discovered in an abandoned building, and the victim has yet to be identified. According to the locals, it had been there for a few days.

'Hurry! We have to go!'

'Yes, Sir'

'I have something to tell you, Inspector.'

'What is it?'

'We got a new email from "Him."'

'Where is it to?'

'The same location Sir.'

'What? It's unusual; we need to hurry.'

A large crowd has gathered in front of the building. The body was discovered in the kitchen of the abandoned house.

'Who found him?'

'Those teenagers attempted to check the source of the odor that residents here have been complaining about. This house was abandoned 15 years ago, and some people turned it into a dump.'

'What are your ages, kids?'

'We're 15.'

'Studying? Which school? '

'Yes, we're in the tenth grade at Saxxx Poxx National High School.'

'What brought you here?'

'The neighbors are complaining about the rotten smell coming from here, but no one has dared to investigate because they are afraid of the 'ghosts' who live in the house,' a boy responded.

'My mother has asthma and has been sick since yesterday as a result of it,' so I asked my friends to search for the source, and then we noticed the dead body on the floor,' a girl said.

'That's right! We immediately reported this to the chairman, and other people also heard about it, which is why so many people gathered outside,' her classmate answered.

'Good job, kids, but don't do it again, please.' It's dangerous.'

The inspector asked for their contact details and sent them home.

'Have you discovered any hints? '

'No, it's clean.' "He" struck again,' the coroner replied, concerned.

'I don't think it's a "he," it's "they"' said the tall woman with the slender body and wavy hair. The woman stood by the dead body, thoroughly inspecting it.

'What is your name?' the Inspector asked inquisitively.
