The same night, Joel's house
Barging into his own house Joel comes as he slams the door and locks he immediately ran into the living room and charges his Phone which was 0%. he couldn't wait and used his home phone and calls the cops.
'112 what you emergency'
'h-hello I just saw a murder pls help me.'
'Sir pls calm down and tell us what happened?'
'I...I was coming from work. Then suddenly two dudes approached and were trying to rob me. Then I was saved by a kid who just killed those guys .'
'sir where are you now?'
'I am a..at my home. pls, help me.'
'sir...uh are you safe right now or the kid is following you.'
' I don't know pls come pls.'
'don't worry sir we have sent cops there they will be arriving soon.'
a bit later,
Cops arrived at Joel's doorsteps. Joel was trying his hardest to make the cops understand what happened but the cops weren't sure what he was saying moreover visible sweat and liquor smell was coming from Joel after taking a test Cops confirmed that he must have over drunk and was hallucinating but still to make Joel calm down they said they will go to the place where it all happened and also told Joel to rest.
After the Cops left there was visible tension on Joel's face
as he sits in a corner of his room with a knife and a phone in his hand.
Next Day, Morning.
Joel woke up he slept while sitting in his room with still a knife and Phone in his hand. Joel didn't go to his Shop rather he was still sitting on his bed Joel was nervous and was still scared of what he saw and was not gonna go anywhere.
2 hours later,
Joel stands his legs went numb though he only stands to go take some food as he walks to open the door he felt something under his foot looking down he found a purse along with a letter that Adam gave him. shocked he picks up the letter and dialled '911'.
but then he noticed something there was something written on the gold letter,
