🌹ST Morgue🌹
Paul Walked silently towards the entrance before staring at the white but earring building with a complicated expression.
 Â
" Huh ! "
Jack inhale deeply a bit worried
" You okay ? "
Paul couldn't help but ask noticing jack abnormal behavior
" How do you expect me to be okay ? "
He asked sarcastically only for Paul to frowned soon understanding his friend trouble heart
" Oh ! "
Paul palely replied simply stepping forward accompany by jack whom calmly walk into the building
  which felt eerily just by staring at it and the supposed warmed yellowish color lights which was supposed to have the warm welcoming feeling
 Could only attract flies making it a bit dim and creepy
" Oh finally you're here "
A female greeted warmly her brown eyes reflecting her charm and beauty of a woman
  Her white coat a bit stain by the sides with what seemed like blood , her hair messy and a small report was hard firmly in her right hand .
" Jade ! "
Paul greeted with a calm smile his eyes wondered round the hallway and finally at the empty desk which seemed odd
" Where are the rest ? "
He asked a bit curious
" Oh they all went out for lunch "
She replied simply with a yawned
" And you ? "
" I wasn't that hungry and besides someone had to stay behind to receive the bodies "
She explained calmly her eyes soon fall on jack which made her lips twitch
" Jack ! "
She called sounding rude and annoyed which wasn't a surprise
" Honey ! hope you aren't still angry right ? "
Paul didn't know how to feel standing in the middle of this ackward situation between the couple .
   His eyes fall simply on both husband and wife feeling the tension from both sides
" Jade ! The body "
He soon went down to business catching both of their attention
" Hmm ! Come with me "
Without wasting much time, she simply turn and further her steps into the quiet hallway being followed quietly by both men ,
before both finally came across a dark blue door
 Which was silently open by jade walking into the dim lighted room
" What's that smell ? "
Jack complained the moment he walked in which made jade roll her eyes not answering such lame question
  However the moment jack eyes landed on the shape like figure which was covered with a white cloth he soon realize where the stench came from.
  Unlike jack who was behind pinching his nose in disgust Paul was completely different not minding the Rotten smell
after all it wasn't his first time and certainly won't be his last
" the body haven't been taken care of yet "
She apologized sincerely
not minding the smell
  after all it was her job and wasn't that disgusted with it either
" No need we understand "
  Paul replied simply watching jade quickly raised the cloth exposing the sight of horror which made Paul pupils shook in shock
   however jack reaction was quite different and frightening from Paul
Who soon Rush out holding his mouth
" The body was already a bit decal when it was bought here "
Jade commented from the side watching jack frightened stare and him finally rushing out
" Cause of death ? "
Paul asked catching jade attention who Soon handed a blue file which was closed to the body
" drowning ! "
Jade palely replied with a sigh
" Drowning ? "
Paul asked a bit confused staring at the cold corpse of the female whom face have been filled with scares and stitches
" Yes However we still find some brusies and knife cuts all around her body "
" Domestic violence ? "
Paul asked wanting to be sure himself
" Not quite sure seemed to be an assult "
She thought out in pity
" Was her face like this when she was bought here ? "
He asked his eyes lock on the corpse face which felt less scary by every stare
" It was way more horrible than now "
Jade explain still remembering the fright she had the moment she first saw her
" Her facial features were totally disfigured ,her nose was shared and her lips were cut into a thin line
  And the left side of her face were covered with tissues and blood
  It was completely horrible and cruel "
Jade explain feeling a bit range just talking about it
" It seems like whoever killed her either pushed her down a cliff or was just trying to disfigured her so we won't be able to identify her probably "
She guess but still couldn't find the main reason for such evil deed .
  for the past few weeks many cases of strange deaths has been reported
  Some stabbed, others burned or either drowned but this time bit was a bit too different and cruel
" How long has the victim been
dead ? "
" About a week or two "
She replied with a calm face before staring back at Paul who nodded in understanding
" Any family members ? "
Paul questioned further checking the file with a dull and complicated expression
" Her husband "
She replied causally
" She's married ? "
Paul pointed out the word
" Hmm ! her wedding ring and her other stuff found with her has been collected
  By the police for more investigation
however the moment any of the family members do come I promise to call "
Jade reply simply staring sideways at Paul who nodded shaking his head in understanding
" Then I will be waiting "
He said before turning wanting to leave
" Paul ! "
Jade called out rather softly but loud enough to halt Paul steps
" is there something else ? "
" I heard from my foolish husband that you are investigating the corrupt lawyer ? "
Even though the question was a bit strange he still nodded honestly
" Stop ! "
She warmed with a serious look on her face which Paul had never seen before
" W - - - "
Before he could require more jack sudden tapping caught his attention
  His eyes shifted sideway at a certain person who held his nose In paleness
" Huh ? "
He answered oddly which jack didn't seem to noticed
" Let's head back now the chief called "
" What seemed to be the problem ? "
Paul asked his voice low but his eyes focus
" I just received a call from the team leader; He wants us to head back to the Station "
Jack explained a bit puzzle himself but refused to say out his thoughts
" Right now ? "
"Â Hmm it seems to be urgent "
Jack replied simply staring sideways at his wife
  who seemed quite busy checking the body to noticed his stare
" Alright then we shouldn't waste time"
Jack nodded in understanding heading out first alongside with Paul whom steps soon halt gazing behind the slight open door with a complicated expression on his face
" What's the problem ? "
His partner asked sensing Paul odd behavior
" Nothing ! "
The word nothing was a bit heavy in his heart
  he so wanted to ask jack questions concerning what his wife words might mean but held himself
" Let's go "
He muttered loudly mostly to himself walking forward towards the entrance with different thoughts floating in his mind .

  Moses eyebrows furrowed in displeased just staring at the figure who was dressed grand and costly
   What even made him even more displeased was the fact that the woman herself didn't seemed to care and was in a hurry to leave after few seconds of her arriver
" Aunt ! "
He greeted not thinking of calling her his mom- in- law privately
 After all in his own thinking such woman doesn't deserve to be called one
" Ah ! my dearest son "
  Mrs Ella replied causally eyeing Moses who was dressed causally in a patient cloth which was twice Bigger than his usual size ,
  his usual haircut now seemed messy However his full body reflect his cold aura towards the woman right in front of him
  His right elbow wrapped and simply place in a cast for support
" You are late "
He reminded the woman who nodded with a sigh
  Her eyes staring straight ahead mostly on the other patient in disgust
  whom were busy minding their business before staring back at her son in law
 who was neither smiling nor frowningÂ
" You can't blame me after all when your dad called I was actually in the spar ( beauty salon )
   I couldn't just leave my hair was still undone "
She explained simply which made Moses gritted his teeth holding back his anger
" The salon "
He muttered more like a whispered
  his eyes gradually turned cold but still didn't say more
" And you what happened to you ? "
She asked sounding curious for brift seconds her eyes shifting to his injured arm and finally at his face .
" Just had a little accident "
He replied poliently trying his best to sound respectfully
" Oh ! "
She murmured under her breath shaking her head
" And Anita ? "
She asked causally eyes still glued oy Moses who parted his lips
" She's good now "
He replied simply not intending to say more
" Oh ! Then tell me her room number let me talk to her "
She asked sounding a bit concerned
" She's resting no distrub "
He only use a few words to stop her who nodded understanding
"Â Then I be heading back then "
She informed moses who did expect this was still slightly surprise
" You're leaving ? "
He found himself asking in a hurry at her figure who was about to leave
" Hmm there's a friend party I need to attend "
She replied truthfully feeling Moses stare
  which felt cold but simply shook such thoughts off her mind .
" Are you really leaving Anita for a party ? "
He asked sounding sarcastic
" Of course not I be back sooner than you think, so don't worry and besides you are here aren't you her husband ? "
" But ! "
Moses took a step forward wanting to say something
 but found her walking away elegantly like a noble lady
Without waiting for Moses to say more
 her heels clicked along the tiles furthering her steps away
  from Moses who furrowed his brows in anger yet again but didn't dare to stop her
   He silently look back heading forward his mind clouded with so many thoughts .
" Boss ! "
At that moment he heard a familiar voice which got his attention.
   Looking through the mixed of passerby his eyes caught up a figure which approached slowly
" Percious ! "
He mouthed not loudly watching her
  as she took each steps forward until she came to a stop right in front of him
" Aren't you supposed to be with Aunt ? "
He found the words leaving his mouth before closing them back in a hurry noticing her tired expression
" She's resting "
She replied causally her voice hoarse and rough from all the crying, her eyes swollen and red but still managed to force a small smile
" And leo ? "
He softly asked which made her sighed but nodded
" He's still unconscious "
Her voice low with a hint of guilt
" The doctors said he's out of danger
 but I just don't understand why he's still not waking up "
She whispered mostly to herself wrapping off the new fresh tears inhaling deeply to calm
 down her heart
" He will wake up soon we just have to be patient "
He console not just her but also himself
" You should head home and try get some rest you really seems to need it "
Moses suggested with a small smile which made her nod not arguing about it .
  Her body really felt low and exhausted both in and out
" I think it will be better
  if one of the cops escort you back just for protection
  We don't want to take any risks mostly when the culprit is still out there "
He suggested yet again his voice hint with concerned .
which made her understood but still shook her head
" There's no need I can head back on my own
  Am not scared anymore and besides I think it will be better if the cops stays and protect both Leo and yourself "
She said simply
" Don't worry about me I can care for myself
 right now it's my responsibility to see you both safe and sound "
He murmured under his breath before focusing back on percious
" Speaking about the police did they ask you for any more questions ? "
" Hmm but you told me not to say a word to them "
She replied back with a serious expression which made him nod in satisfaction
" We can't afford to take risks "
He nodded while thinking
" By any chance did you manage to get a better look at the culprit face ? "
This question soon made her fall silent slightly thinking before shaking her head
" No it was too dark and it happened so sudden that I didn't have time "
She explained her voice tremble at the memories
" Don't think about it then and head back,
 I will ask one or two to take you back "
" Speaking about them I wonder where they might be ? "
He thought silently not voicing out his thoughts
