Broken Serenade

CHAPTER 8: 2nd Killing

It's been a month since the twins are working. So far, everything seems to be fine. Little by little, they are able to save money.

Everything seems to be in their right places. But all of those we're just make to believe scenarios. It's not totally fine. The suspects are still out there roaming around.

It's currently 12 in the midnight. Everyone is on their houses, taking some rest and probably sleeping. But noises around in their neighborhood causes the people to wake up. Screams and loud noises are present.

Just like the other people, the twins woke up and have some glances from their windows.

"What's the commotion all about?" Serene asked to her twin.

"Shhh, do not be so loud. People might here you." Selene said while covering her sister's mouth.

It took a couple of hours too before the people have silence.

While on the other hand, the twins didn't notice themselves getting taken away by sleepiness. The said also that they still have works tomorrow so they cannot stay up so late. That's why they try to go to sleep again.

Next morning, they heard the news almost everywhere. It was really a sad news because the last one was not yet resolved but here it goes again. People left nothing to do but to pray. It's way too impossible to catch those suspects easily. Some people came to the point that they believe that this is a crime made by supernatural being.

The twin were affected too but not as much as they used to be. Maybe little by little they are healing. They are ready to accept the reality.

Selene was still on her thoughts about who are the killers when Serene shake her shoulder.

"Hey, you're spacing out. What are you thinking?" Serene asked.

"Nothing. I just realized that it's just before our birthday come. How will we celebrate it?" Selene lied.

"Hmm. I don't know too. I'm not used to it. We celebrating our birthday alone." Serene said.

"Shh, we still have each other. No need to be upset or something." Selene cheered to her twin.

They accidentally pass by the crime scene. There are tons of people around it. Probably want some rumors to hear and some of them are really worried and wants justice too.

Selene saw the Police Officer that she met at their work. He is having an interview with the reporters. And she heard what is it all about.

"SPO3 Dela Cruz, Can you give a hint of the possibility rate of this case to be solve?" The reporter asked.

"Base on the scope of our findings, we just have 5% chance to solve this case. The suspects are skilled. They leave no trace of them." SPO3 answered.

Selene took a glance of where the interview is happening, and it happened that SPO3 Dela Cruz is also looking at her. She felt it so awkward that's why she drag her twin to walk faster than they do.

Because of the commotion on their neighborhood, they weren't able to go to work as early as they use to be. They we're 5 minutes late. But it was no issue to their boss for they now the incident that happened.

For unknown reason, Selene find it awkward to be around that police officer. She can't understand herself why is she even feeling that. So to be less stress she only hopes that they will never have to talk with each other.

SPO3 Dela Cruz's POV

'What do you want to say?' I asked inside of my mind. Because for unknown reason, I can feel that the girl was awkward when we are meeting each other. I don't know but I can feel something with the way she look. I feel like she want to talk to me about something but she is hesitant.

Does she know something about the case? Or is she connected on it? I dunno. All that I find out earlier was that they are twins. A very much alike Identical twins.

But about the case, it's still the same. They can't find any clue or evidences at all. It is making my head aches already. We're not yet done with the first one but here it is again. If only I will find the suspect, I will make him punish and even rot in jail.

"Good morning, Sir!" An officer greeted.

"Good morning. Do you have any good news?"

"Good and bad as well, Sir."

"Is that so? Lemme hear the good first." I replied to her.

"We found a witness who sees the suspects face. But unfortunately, she was killed early this morning. Her family is the one who contacted our station. Base on the family, the witness just said that she sees a the face of the criminal. She never tell them what he looks like. And this morning, she was killed on her way here on our station. Her family said that she want go to a police station to tell us what she witnessed. And that is the bad news." She said.

As I heard the news, I slammed my hand at my table. Rage is building up inside me.

"They really are skilled and well trained. Maybe they have watch outs around them. So that they can silence the witnesses." I said out of frustrations.

"The victim last night, Sir, was cremated. They find no eyeballs and any single organ inside of the victim's body. The family can't stand looking at the victim's swollen and tortured face and body so they decided to cremate the victim instead." She added.

Is that even a human doing? That's gross and way to brutal for a normal person to do. Maybe they are Psychopaths or something.

"Okay. Thank you. Dismissed!" I said and replied to her salute.

I don't know what to do anymore. They are so impossible to catch it they move like this. We really have to set bait that they will probably caught red-handed.

I just hope that someday. Or soon as possible, I can catch them. I want to punish those bastards for being so evil and for being inhumane. I want them to experience the cold and lonely prison cell.

They deserve to be punished. It is all unfair letting them live freely in this society where in the first place they should be behind the bars repenting on their deeds. 

I will do my very best just to catch those people. I will do that until the very last breathe that I have. I can't just sit here and let those do whatever they wanna do.

I will take all my courage with me. And together with those people who will seek justice with me. You kill, and I will come after you.

You can run from all those witness and cameras but not to my lead and not on my watch. You might enjoying your freedom now, but sooner or later, I will be able to grab your collars and throw you behind these cold bars. I don't tolerate violence and most of all killing of fellow human. I won't and Will never agree of that.
