Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 30

After minutes of them driving me to the station, we finally arrived.

We went inside a room where a big dude is sitting on a chair with a laptop on the desk that is facing him.

He glance at me and look back to his laptop again.

I look around, hoping that I can see Mr. Portman, the usual detective of the case, but he wasn't here anywhere, he is gone.

"Take a sit Jackson." He said in his deep voice. I quickly went to the chair and sat there and the door closed. "Am I... A suspect?" I asks him but instead of answering my question, he showed me his laptop of me driving home very late at the game night with Chase.

Seconds had passed before his car left.

"You are the last person who saw Mr. Hudson at the night of his disappearance right?" He asks. "I can be... But I'm pretty sure that the last person who saw him is the one who killed him if this is a murder case. So no and yes, depending on the situation." I answered.

He put his laptop screen face back to him again and start writing a statement on his little notebook.

"May I ask if what happened to Mr. Portman? The case worker of Chase missing case?" I ask. "Why? Why do you expect him to be here?" He asks. "Because he is the case worker?" I asks him and I heard him giggle like something is funny to what I just said. "You just said it, Detective Portman is the one who was assigned to CAhse missing case, but not to his murder." He answered me straightforwardly. "I am Sergeant Gerald Benelisto. Case worker of Chase murder." HE said.

My hair on my skin stood up.

It creeps me without knowing the reason why.

"So you have to be careful Jackson. Because if someone is trying to blame you for his death, it won't stop until you are behind those bars. Make sure you have an evidence against your own evidence, and to always have an alibi and in timing, that's the only way to prove that you are innocent."

I remembered Shannel's advice to me earlier.

C wants me to go behind bars for his sins, and I won't let it happen!

I will never go to jail because of him, I will make sure that I am going to make everything right, that I won'tt be the one whos going to pay for someone elses sins.

"We questions your classmate abou Chase death, and everyone, and by I mean everyone, everyone spills your name in every question we have." He said. "But the only thing that doesn't make sense, is your motive to kill Cahse." He said. "Maybe it doesn't make any sense because I don't have any motive to kill Chase, because I didn't kill Chase." I answered.

I saw him smiled like he got impressed by my answer.

"What is your relationship with Cahse Hudson Mr. Hall?" He asks me. "I am his tutor." I answered. "A junior is tutoring a senior? Wow.. Maybe you really are a brainy person isn't it?" He said. "But I already know that, what I a mean by relationship is that... Are you two friends? Close friends? Best friend? Strangers? Or maybe lover?" He asks me. "Just friends." I said. "Then how come you two have the same identical ring?" He asks me that question. "How did you know it was my ring? IS my fingerprint on that ring?" I asks. "Everyone knows that is your ring because apparently you got bullied by some football players and some other students because of your sitation and because of jealousy the reason why Chase gave that to you, so no one can mess with you." He answered.

I smiled and laugh saracastically that makes Sergeant Gerald intimidated.

"Is there something funny kid?" He asks. "No. But you already answered your question. You know why we have the same identical ring but you still asks it. Is it because you are expecting another answer from me? Is it because you are trying a psychological hhypnotization to me? Well Sergeant, it won't work. I know what a psychological means, I know how it works, just get to the point why I'm here. Just asks if I killed Chase or not. That's the reason why I'm here right?" I asks him.

He look to a wall on our left which I know is a two sided mirror.

"We just want some information form you. Like, why are you bringing a gun on the game night." He asks.

MMy eyes widended as I recall the scene on my mind the time before the game started, where Carla saw it in my bag.

"Someone is trying to threaten me. A text from a stranger random person. And someone is following me. I don't know if the person who is threatening me and following me are the same person, so I had to bring a gun beside me so protect myself." I lied. "Someone's tailing you?" HE asks and I nodded.

He starts writing notes on a paper or on his notebook.

After that he starts typing on his pc and showed me cctv video on his laptop where a guy in a hoodie is draggin a body inside my house and after a minute he left with his car...

And that person is no other than Henry...

Ah s**t,

Henry's expose now.

And he showed me another video where I am walking back to my house 30 minutes after the body dragging.

I am thankful that the very first clip he showed me wasn't showed that I went back to Chase car, that I am with him when his car left.

"Mr. Hall." He called my surname. "We believed that... Someone is trying to blame you for chase murder. Someone is trying trap you with your own trap. We believed that someone has a big problem with you and they wanted you to fall from their crimes. And we cannot do that."

Fuck, what I'm gonna do now?

"All the evidence are here. From the body where it was put behind your back, your phone and your ring on his car, and someone putting the body in your house, is all an evidence that someone is trying to frame you up for CAHse murder." EH answered. "What's gonna happen now?" I asks him back. "Nothing, just protect yourself." EH answered.

"YOU KILLED ME!"

I shouted as loud as I can and fell back on the chair where I hit my head on the floor when someone scream and shouted on my ear.

A sound of ringing in my ear is trying to eat my head until I saw Sergeant Running towards me becaasue of worry but everything is blurred.

I can feel a sticky liquid dripping down on my cheek from my forehead, and when I touches it, I saw blood on my hand.

Before I ended up being collapse, I remember the same whispers and words to me. The word 'You Kill Me'.

And up until now, I don't know who that is and why...

Is it Chase?

But... I didn't kill Chase...

I didn't stabbed him.

I just crack his neck... Not stabbed him...

Being haunted by some supernatural occurrence, is not so fun.

You never know when and how are they going to appear, and it sucks and sometimes deadly. I almost died one time because of shockness.

Believe me or not, but I never believe to ghost before, I never believed in curses, in possession and hauntings, but when it happened to me, when it keeps happening to me, I now believed them.

I never undesratnds how our town, our little town is haunted. I mean, it never happened before, the hauntings just started a while ago, when...

When Chase died.

At first I don't understand the connection of Lucy Sable to our current situation, but now... Now I do, now I understand.

I got an explanation.

I now get why how the hauntings started...

And we'll get to it.

But first, let's go back to where it all the killings strated...

When the murderer of Chase Hudson has been revealed.

And I guess we all know who that is...

Because he become quite famous after than dramatic arrest.

Jeez, I can still remember it, how it started, everything is stil fresh to me, I can still remember their reaction, specially his reaction.

How my plan ended up being complete.

Complete to disaster.
