Syringe and The Investigator

Chapter 3

The man stands in the opposite corner,  sharply observing , while clenching his fist in a forceful one. And I know he's trying to compose himself. He looks like a volcano waiting to erupt in

"YOU REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU KILLED IN THAT FUCKING CAR ACCIDENT, DONT YOU ?!" he shouted at me.

I close my eyes at his sudden outburst. Can't he be softer? Or can't he be more careful? I am not dead, he is.

"S-sorry but I don't know and I didn't i-intentionally k-k-illed a-anyone" I respond with a deep feeling of remorse as endless tears streamed down my face. I felt weak right now to the point that I wanted to pull my hair.

He clenched his fist and started walking nearer. He was only a few inches away from me. I can smell his strong scent from this distance. I suddenly felt scared because of the proximity between us but I couldn't move my hands and feet because they were handcuffed. So I decided to close my eyes.

"Open your eyes", he sharly commanded.

I slowly opened my eyes again. Praying that he already took enough distance. I watched him wiping my tears in my cheeks by his big hand ended it on my jaw. 

Horror filled my whole system.

He tightened his grip on my jaw and  I let out a weak whimper. 

"Listen here bitch, I will only tell you this once so you better put it in your little head. BECAUSE YOU WILL PAY FOR THE DEATH OF MY SPPOSED TO BE MY WIFE AND OUR CHILD! You are going to regret you live in this world. I'm going to make your life a living hell. You will never be happy! I will slowly kill you, Callixta Ystraella Belle, "he loosened his grip. And I felt a huge and thick hand lands on my face.

I was shocked.

I

whimpered from the pain on my jaw and cheek. I can't stop my tears from dripping that happened almost every day. He turned his back from me and walked towards the door.

"I-I'm s-sorry," I silently stated coming from my heart. I was really sorry. I knew I deserved to be imprisoned and paid for the mistakes I had made. Not just a small mistake because two lives were lost because of me. I was really unlucky and bring bad luck to to others. I let my tears flow, that's the only thing I can do right now. My mental health is in bad condition any moment can lead me into breakdown and depression. 

I wonder if mommy and daddy are okay. I know I'm not their real daughter but did they know what have happened? I'm sure they'll hurt me too when they find out. Or maybe they’re even happier because I’m going to get out of their way. It's a huge favor for them to be incarcerated and never get out again. They won't waste their precious time spending money to give me a lawyer. And it also doesn't make sense because I made a mistake. I must be accountable for it. And one more thing I need to find my real parents. I looked up at the ceiling and let my mind wander.

"We've got Callixta's inheritance, please Arc honey kill her."

Does mommy mean that my parents are dead and they left an inheritance to me so as their niece and closest relative they adopted me?

"No. My real family is still alive, I will still look for them. I will hug them tightly and say the words 'I love you'. Lord please I still want to experience the true love and care from my real family." I drowned from deep thoughts starting to be eaten by drowsiness.

I woke up hearing heavy footsteps approaching my room. I opened my sore eyes and saw two nurses. A man and a woman. In my estimation, the man is only in his mid twenties and the woman is in her early thirties. They both wear a blue nurse suit. 

"What do you need from me ?!" I boldly asked.

"We don't need anything from you but Master does." the man said as he looked up at the room.

I also looked up and saw a cctv. So all this time they are watching me? I wanted to ask which master they were referring to but I was suddenly felt scared and horror when the female nurse pulled out a syringe. I tried to free myself but to no avail I can't break the handcuffs. I only hurt those parts more. The male nurse grabbed me by my shoulder and lifted the sleeve of the hospital gown they wore on me.

"Please. Have mercy, I didn't mean what happened." I beg.

The woman just smirked at me. It was as if she don't care and have no conscience at all.

"Do you know what is this?!" she gripped my hair and showed me the syringe containing liquid on it. All I could do was shake. He slowly lowered it to my shoulder. I just felt the sharp needle pierce me. I screamed and tried to get past and escape again.

They then released me and were about to leave when I stopped them. Irritation can be seen on the woman's face.

"W-wait what did you inject at me?" but I could not even get an answer from them because they had already proceeded to leave.

Soon I felt a strange pain lingering on my whole body.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! That's enough, please. I'm in so much pain." I felt as if something was eating and digging into my flesh.

"AHHHHHHHH !!!! I-I r-really c-cant e-ndure t-this p-pain anymore." I cried out again in pain and agony of my body.

 I waited for almost an hour and prayed that the pain would go away but it still remained. I can not take it anymore. This is torture! I would rather die than experience this kind of pain in the days to come.

"Just kill me." I stammered weakly. The pain slowly killing me and after two hours it subsided but the pain is still there. I observed my whole body and felt pity for myself. I promised myself this is the last time I'm going to look weak emotionally and physically. This is the last time I will let someone hurt me. If I survive this I'm going to take revenge and pull down everyone in hell whoever made my life miserable and whoever step on my plans. 

Nica Pov

"Just in, a car driven by the daughter of the business tycoon Mrs and Mr. Belle collided with the car driven by Mr. Greyson Blast's fiancee. The incidents and casualties of the said accident are still being investigated. " I turned off the TV when  my phone rings.

"Yes?" I paused for a while to let the person on the other line speak.

"I'll be there in a few minutes" I immediately answered and ended the call.

Btw, I am Nica Patterson, 23, a well-known investigator in this town.

At 15, I started being obssesed in investigating crimes especially solving the murder of my friend, Poppy Lee. Poppy was shot in 2015 and the killer was never brought to justice. So I promised her grave that I'll be the one who will resolve her case no matter what happen and no matter what it takes. It took me almost 6 years and I still have few clues. I always ended up in a dead end. That is unusual scenario for me because it means there's a powerful person behind her death. It's not an ordinary death but something telling me there's bigger and deeper reason behind it.

I get my jacket and put my gun on my waistband. I headed to go to the accident scene that flashed in the TV screen a while ago.

"This will be a long day", I sighed.

After 10 minutes I arrived in the area and only found the two cars with police yellow ropes. I showed the police my I.D. and he let me  inside the yellow barricade tape . I roamed my eyes in the scene – bloods, a crumbling car, and a car still upside down. The police officers made sure it was safe for us coming nearer the car. Because there is a high probability that the car will explode due to a fuel leak. I wear my gloves and started inspecting the whole area. I also talk and ask few questions to the few witnesses. A police officer informed me earlier that the occupant of the crashed car was Blast's fiancee, and its driver. And the one who collided was the Belle's daughter who is currently missing after the accident. Many conclude that she fled but I doubt that. By observing her car, it was impossible for her to get away. That just means someone took her

I carefully studied the position of the cars and started to assume theories with the given speed. I was lost in my own thoughts when my phone rang again.

“Yes?” I answered irritably.

"Found anything?" The other line asked disregarding my tone.

"Nothing much. I'll send a request for their autopsy to further analyze the situation and study if there's a foul play here." then I started walking towards my car.

"Good. Make sure the autopsy result is genuine, if there's a foul play here there might people whom gonna mess this up." he sighs.

"Woahhh don't worry dude, I got this. You don't believe in my talent, do you? Tsk such a cruel demon. Anyways, I'll call you when I got the result and come up with the final investigation." after I finished my speech, I am now infront of my car.

"By the way, how's the girl?" I added.

"She's weak. And a little cry baby for a small play" he hissed with the thought of that gorgeous girl.

"She's still gorgeous. Where is she now" I asked furrowing my eyebrows looking at the far corner of this road. There's a dark alley in there.

"Nowhere. You don't need to know" he lied. How dare he?! 

"What's with your mood, Mr. Blast? Of course I am infront of this crazy ideas of yours. Maybe I deserve some informations regarding her whereabouts, don't I? Besides I took care about it already and the next thing I'm going to do is talk to her parents. " I chuckled while saying those lines. He's really a bipolar.

"That's your job Patterson. Make sure it is polished."

"Aye, aye captain" I mocked before hanging up.

I walked towards the dark alley and use my flashlight. I walked around but found nothing suspicious until I stepped into something. A can of beer and some leftovers of used cigarettes. I level my flashlight in the wall and found an X mark.

"Bullshit!" I already have assumptions but I needed to see and study the autopsy reports first.

I walked back to my car and drive heading to the laboratory where the autopsy are made. My heart beats faster minute by minute. This can't be happening. I clenched my fist, anger build and filled my whole system.
