Accused of murder

Chapter 4

In the middle of the night on the Great Belt Bridge a body was thrown out of slowly moving black BMW 8 series before it drove off in a hasty speed. Hours passed without any movement from the body.

Right before dawn still hours before many would drive to work or colleges across the islands.

In Denmark you would have to cross the Great Belt Bridge that connected Zealand, the largest island in with the second largest Funen.

“Matias stop”

“What? Why?”

“Stop the car. Stop the car now”

The car slowed down and was about to stop, but before I stopped, a man opened the door an jumped out, running to a person that was dragging itself to railing.

“Lorenzo what are you doing” Matias shouted from the car, still sitting behind the wheel.

After realizing that it was a human and not some roadkill animal, Matias pressed the hazard warning lights before following Lorenzo.

“Hey! HEY! HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?”

“STOP DO NOT DO THAT!”

Matias and Lorenzo shouted at once when they realized the scene before them.

As they were running towards the person that had reached and was busy climbing the railings. It was obvious to any what this person intended to do. Right before she was about to jump Lorenzo reached and grabbed the person from the waist and dragged her back towards him in one swift quick motion.

“ARE YOU… crazy? Lorenzo halted in his speech when he saw her.

Matias reached right after.

“WTF?”

“Who did this to her?”

Both of them were stunned. Both speechless. It was not before then that the got a good look at her. It was a young female, which they never would have guessed. And if that was not enough, she was bleeding, and completely beating. She felt limp as if she was not alive. But a silent cry could be heard from her.

“Come let’s go!”

Lorenzo had one hand on her back and on under her legs and carried her to the car.

Matias did run to the car so he could open the backdoor of the car.

“Here”

When Lorenzo reached the car, he laid her on the back seats with her head on his lap.

“Hey, what’s your name?” he said with a gentle angelic voice

No reaction

Lorenzo stretched his arms and checked for a pulse, and when he could feel it, his hear rested a little. He then raised his arms to push her hair that was to her face aside to get a better look.

When he saw her face, he froze.

“Mat look at her”

Matias that had already seated himself back in the driver’s seat and started the car looked back over his right shoulder and gasped.

“When was she released?” Matias asked

“Mateo must’ve done this; this is his work.” Lorenzo was sure. "Call him."

“Drive Mat”

And so, they drove off.

About 30 minutes later they reached a house near Odense.

It was the house they would stay in whenever they had business in Funen.

It was a remote place perfect for privacy but still just a 10-minute drive from the city.

So, it wasn’t completely a deserted place. 

When they reached the house and parked the car Matias got out and opened the door for Lorenzo to help him get out while carrying her.

With a serios and quiet expression on their face they were moving so smoothly as if it were a routine for them.

Without speaking they both knew exactly what they should do.

Matias hurried to the door unlocked and opened it. He did not wait for Lorenzo to come inside and just leaved the door open. He then walked through the entrance hall and to the living room where there was a lift in the corner as the house had 4 floors including the basement. He pressed the button so it would be ready as soon as possible.

Three second after Lorenzo reached Matias, the door to the lift opened and they both stepped in, and Matias pressed the button to the basement.

None of them spoke. Both of them were deep in their thoughts. The lift reached the basement and opened its doors.

The basement consisted of a hallway with doors on both sides. The walls, ceiling and floor was of steel. When they stepped out of the lift, the fluorescent lights turned on one by one when they passed by. 

Matias opened the last door on the right side of the hallway before stepping in. the room resembled and operating room. There was an operation table where Lorenzo gently lowered Sofiá on. Matias handed Lorenzo a pair of scissors from the instrument table beside them and turned the lights on.

Lorenzo began to cut her clothes of. The hardest part was her pants as it was almost sticking to her skin because of the some of the blood had clotted in between her legs and the pants. The pants were cut along the side of her legs up to the waist on both sides.

While Lorenzo was pulling her pants off, a hand stopped him. He looked at her hand that had stopped him from going further up.

“Please stop!”

Although faint but they could clearly hear the obvious panic in her voice. Lorenzo didn’t say anything and proceeded with his work which made her body shake uncontrallably .

“Can’t you just kill me first!”
