Chapter 8 - New chase, new characters

That moment Stal recognized that the person in front of him was a policeman, stroke fear into his heart and his heartbeats were racing . When he identified that the policeman was Randio , his fear started to disappear .

Stal wanted to defend himself at that moment , but he was interrupted when Randio bent down at his level , held his shoulders and yelled out of concern ,

" Where were you , Stal? What happened to you?! You were missing all day yesterday . Storm have seen you before morning going out, yet you didn't come back throughout the day , so we started looking and searching for you . Now, I've found you in this state… Who did that to you? What is this blood all over you?? Tell me, I'll not hesitate hitting that person ."

After that moment, Stal's heart was put at ease, the fear he felt when he saw himself stained with blood started to vanish . Randio's trust and support was what reassured him .

He started to talk while crying sadly , " I …I don't remember… Someone called me out from the window…so I went to him, but I don't remember the reason... I can't remember anything after that… Please, believe me… I don't know what to do…I have nobody but you… How can I get out of this situation? "

Randio helped Stal to stand up and tried to calm him down ,

" Don't worry, man. Let's go to my house so you can rest up for a bit . I'll tell them that you wanted to get some alone time . No one would ask you about where you were or what happened . Nobody will burden you . You can go as if nothing happened . Let's burn these clothes now and at once ; You go, take a shower to get rid of the blood then rest . You rest for some other days , if you need , that before you return to the supermarket . When we arrive, make yourself home. "

Stal wiped his tears and hopped in the policeman car without being seen ; he was lost in thought while Randio was driving ,

' He doesn't know about that building , neither of the mission about David which the girl assigned me to carry out , and he has got no idea if I was acquainted with David or not . Fortunately , he ignored me when I wanted to tell him about the strange things David said at the supermarket….It's not that I see myself as the killer, but he will become suspicious if he know those details . Now , nobody can suspect me . I shouldn't occupy my mind with these thoughts , get rid of that idea and continue with my usual daily routine with no anxiety .'

He looked over at Randio, who was driving, and thoughts filled his mind again ,

' Luckily , he considers me as his son and won't expect me doing something like that . He knows me so well , and that I will not ever do such thing . He is an understanding person, too ; he won't pressure me to get to know what's happened …but this won't last forever . I have to come up with something to mislead him , or know the truth of what's happened for real and tell him without lying . First , I have to get all of the details so he won't suspect me and I lose him being on my side. '

After arriving at Randio's home , Randio burnt the clothes while Stal was washing off the blood .

Randio destroyed the clothes then shouted out at Stal who was still at the bathroom ,

" I will go to return the car to the police station and then return . I'll take today off to stay with you. You don't mind that, right?? Or do you want to stay alone? "

Stal had finished bathing awhile ago , but he was staring at the mirror the whole time until Randio interrupts him with his words . He went out of the bathroom at that moment and answered him ,

"I don't mind of course, but you don't need to stay if your reason was that you're worried about me . I've been fine since the moment you've found me ."

Randio smiled knowing that Stal was fine now, his tone showed that ,

" Okay, Stal .Then I'll head to my job . There's a person that I have to track down now ; he is a serial killer named Caster . I was assigned to this mission to get information about his last crimes from a person named David ...You don't know him... But this person was killed yesterday , and I'm aiming to complete his mission that was handed to me. I'll make sure to catch the killer, so it seems that I'll be busy these days , but you can call me when you need anything whenever you want , Stal ."

Randio wrote his phone number on a paper , and told Stal to call him using a landline phone , as Stal's phone was still in the worker's dormitory of the supermarket .

Stal just nodded without uttering any word . Randio left at that moment , leaving Stal at the house alone . The house was a small rented apartment , Randio wasn't even from a medium class , he was a bit lower than that .

Stal felt a bit of fear and worry that things might go wrong and that they might suspect him . There were CCTV cameras , and many modern things that can lead to Stal .

Stal doubted that he was lured into being framed for the case ; he intended to go back to the place he went to before , to know the answers from the girl that spoke to him on the phone .

Stal noticed a little thing although his mind shouldn't wasn't in the state to check these simple things while he was going through so much pressure ,

'It's strange that he told me the details of his mission although he told me to get some rest and to put my mind at ease! And burning the clothes is also strange if he didn't believed that I have nothing to do with any crime. No….don't think of that...If he was suspecting anything , he would've arrested me immediately . Of course there's something else , He told me the details of his mission to show that he's trustworthy and that he expects the same from me. Also, he burnt the clothes out because it was soaked in blood , and hard to wash off . If we were just to get rid of them , someone might find them and suspect that there is something fishy, which doesn't even exist and we'll get in trouble . That's the only logical explanation. .'
