Back on the planet Earth, a lot had changed in two individual lives. The day that Damon had died, the CEO also was killed by the mysterious man after he didn't surrender the tech he had asked for.
After killing the CEO, the man had ransacked the whole office but he didn't find it. That was when he heard some people heading towards the office and immediately, he pulled out a remote and pressed on it then a portal had opened up.
The mysterious man stepped into the portal and he disappeared from the office with the portal closing behind him.
Immediately the man had left, that was when a knock was heard on the door.
"Excuse me sir." Someone knocked on the door but he heard no response.
He knocked again this time louder than before. "Sir, are you in there?"
But there was still no response then the man ran downstairs and called other employees to come check on the CEO since he didn't hear any response from the room and he was scared something might have happened to him.
Five of the employees including the earlier employee ran upstairs and they knocked on the door louder than before but there was no response.
"Should we break the door open?" Someone asked.
"I think that will be a good option." Someone said.
"Let me do it." Chris said stepping forward. "Everyone move back."
And everyone did move back. Then Chris readied himself and then he barged his shoulder into the door hard. The door creaked but it didn't break he tried again this time, it creaked louder.
Chris then moved back a bit and then he hit the door with all his strength in his leg into the door and the door broke open almost coming off its hinges.
Everyone rushed into the room and they could immediately see two dead bodies on the floor. Someone of the employees rushed towards their CEO and they could see he was dead with a precise strike to his chest where his heart was to be.
Chris had run to check on Damon's body and he could see a slash was made on Damon's neck while his hands had been cleanly cut off with the hands on the floor still holding onto a mobile device.
"What happened here?" One of the employees asked coming over to where Chris was after examining their CEO.
"Did Damon kill the CEO and killed himself? But why?" Someone else asked while standing up from the ground where he stood close to the CEO.
"Are you a fool? Didn't you see the scene before you commented?" Chris asked standing up with a tear running down his face and anger evident on his face.
Although Damon didn't consider Chris his friend, Chris did. And he had grown fond of Damon ever since he had joined the company and now seeing him dead and an ignorant fool accusing him of murder, pissed him off.
"Who else would have killed the CEO if it wasn't for Damon? They are the only two people here." The person said again.
The person accusing Damon was Liam, a man who felt overshadowed by Damon's succes in the company. He also felt jealous anytime Damon got praised by the CEO for working on a ground breaking project.
"You fool!" Chris shouted. "Come over here."
Liam walked over towards Chris and stood In front of him.
"Look over here." Chris dragged Liam's head and pointed it towards Damon's dead body while everyone came over to see what he was showing Liam.
"Do you see how the body is positioned? Look at the position of the body closely, you can see that he was close to the door as if he had just come into the room." Chris said still holding onto Liam's head showing him what he saw.
"And look over here." Chris pointed towards Damon's hands while still dragging Liam's head there. Chris' grip on Liam's head was quite firm not letting him break away.
"Can you see his hands holding onto that mobile device?" Chris asked looking up at those that were in the room listening to him.
"It's evident he was trying to call someone maybe help or something and his hands was cut off from his body and then he was killed when he least expected."
"So now tell me, if Damon had killed the CEO before he killed himself, why would he have mutilated his body before he did so? Besides, after cutting a single hand, how can Damon cut the second one off and then finally kill himself?" Chris asked and everybody nodded to his analysis seeing that he made a lot of sense.
Chris then lifted Liam's head and brought his face close to his.
"Next time, think before you say or accuse someone wrongly otherwise…" Chris left his words hanging and pushed Liam away.
"All what you said makes absolute sense but the main problem is, who had killed them both? Because for the person to kill them that quickly, it means that he had a certain level of strength to do so." Someone said.
"Yes. Besides I don't think any of us saw someone leave this building." Another person said.
"Doesn't it mean that the person might still be in this room?" The last employee asked while twisting his head around nervously.
"Let's search the room." Liam suggested and everybody got to searching the huge room.
The CEO'S office was structured in a way that there was a room in a room. So everyone went from room to room checking for any signs of a human but there was none.
Then they all gathered back in the main office tired.
"There's nobody here which means the killer has managed to escape." Liam said.
"Guys! Come over here." Someone called and they all rushed to the place he was pointing and they saw that the CEO'S desk was scattered as if a person was looking for something.
"It's evident the killer was searching for something important enough to take two people lives as if it was nothing." Liam commented.
"I don't care what he was looking for or who he is,"Chris said in a low growl with his fists tightly clenched in anger.
"But I promise to find him and make him pay for killing Damon and the CEO, that is a promise otherwise my name is not Chris."
