Rules to be a murderer:
Phoenix’s POV I opened my eyes, my eyesight was blurry, but it became okay little by little. I am here in a hospital, and many things were injected into me while lying on the bed. A few minutes later, mom entered the room. “You’re finally awake,” she said while walking towards me, “I’ve talked to your doctor earlier, and he told me that you have selective amnesia, and until now, your older brother is missing,” she added that made me frown. “Older brother?” I asked her. I am not going to lie; I am confused right now. Based on the way she acts now, I know she cried earlier. I have selective amnesia; I cannot remember some details about my life, including what happened before I was diagnosed with having it. “Your brother’s name is Nate Keehl,” she said to me, “He was missing since your prom night last Friday,” she added. Older brother? “Nate Keehl?” I asked her again. I am annoyed with m
Phoenix’s POV I looked at the man after he said that, while Patrick stood up and they handshake, “S!” He said happily to the man. He is wearing a black-faceless mask. I stood up as well, and I looked at him, “Who is he?” I asked Patrick that made him smile. “I want you to meet S,” he introduced the man, “He is a detective that solved many criminal cases not just in the Philippines but also in the other countries,” he added to me. “I don’t care,” I said sarcastically because I only asked who the man was, I did not ask him what he accomplished, and I feel that the man he introduced to me is so arrogant. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Phoenix,” he said, “And I think I don’t need to introduce myself to you because Patrick already did that,” he continued to me. He is using a device right now to change his voice to hide his identity. He is very arrogant! He walked towards my broth
Phoenix’s POV Sebastian took a deep breath, and he spoke, “Nate is so annoying; he still made a mess even though he is already dead!” He angrily said, which made me look at him. “What did you say?” I asked him. My blood quickly went to my head. He looked at me irritably, and he spoke, “Did I lie?” He asked sarcastically to me. “Sebastian!” Melody intervened, “Stop!” She said to Sebastian. He just laughed and glanced at her irritably instead of following what she said. “So, is it my fault?” He asked sarcastically and glanced at me, “It’s your brother’s fault!” He retorted. So, my body moved towards him. I don’t know why it happened. Perhaps I could not take what he said to Nate anymore. “Say that again, I dare you!” I angrily said to him. I will not lie; I want to punch him right now! He smirked and spoke, “Are you deaf—” he stopped talking when I punched him in his face. So Melo
Lincoln’s POV I left my condo unit at 6:00 p.m. I was here in the parking lot, and a few minutes later, my phone started to ring, which meant someone was calling me. So, I answered it. “Hello,” I said to the person in the other line while walking towards my car. “Where are you?” Patrick asked me. He is the one who is calling me. When I came closer to my car, I rode and tried to start its engine, “I’m on my way,” I answered him; I was so annoyed because it was not working. I heard that Patrick took a deep breath. “Okay,” he said to me, “Just call me once you’re here,” he said and ended the phone call. I tried to start my car’s engine again, but it did not happen. A few minutes later, my phone rang again. I don’t know who it was this time, but I still answered the phone call. “Hello,” I said to the person who was calling me. “Hello,” the person said that made me frown. He is using a device
Patrick’s POV I stood up, and I took my phone in my pocket, then I called S. I am still here outside of the building where Teacher Lincoln’s condo unit is there, “Hello,” I said to S. I looked at Lincoln’s dead body on the roof of my car while the people in my surroundings had a commotion. “Where is he?” He asked, which made me close my hand. Someone already died because of this case. I will not allow other people will be killed as well due to it. At this moment, I know that S is using a device to change his voice to hide his identity. “He is dead,” I answered, and I heard that he took a deep breath. I know that he is disappointed right now upon learning his sudden demise, “I’m sorry—” I did not manage to continue speaking when he started to talk. “I need to move,” he seriously said, and he ended the phone call. I don’t know what he is planning to do, b
Phoenix’s POV It’s already late night; I am here in my room, sitting on the bed. I am still scared when someone threatened me earlier through a phone call that he would kill mom and me. I don’t know what’s his problem. Why did he kill my older brother? The door in my room is not open right now, a few minutes later, my phone rang which meant someone was calling me, so I took it in my pocket and answered the phone call, “Hello,” I said to him. “Miss me?” He sarcastically asked, which made me close my hands. He is the one who called me earlier; it’s obvious he is using a device right now to change his voice to hide his identity. “Who are you?!” I asked him; I want him to feel right now that I am tough, “What do you need from us?!” I asked again, so he laughed sarcastically. “You don’t need to know who I am and my motive,” he said to me, then he took a deep breath and spoke, “What do you need to do i
Phoenix’s POV The policemen took mom to the hospital because her stab wound was a bit deep, while I was left in our home together with other cops who were investigating what happened earlier. It’s already late night, but cops are still investigating. I am sitting on the floor beside the door of my mom’s room, and a few minutes later, SPO2 Patrick Smith walked towards me, “The killer is not here anymore,” he said, so I closed my hands. I am not going to lie; I am so annoyed. I feel that the blood in my body is starting to go to my head, “What kind of cops are you; you cannot catch a criminal!” I irritably said to him. He did not speak upon hearing that. I am just telling the truth; until now, they are still not done solving my brother’s case! What kind of cops are they?! A minute later, detective S arrived; he was wearing a black-faceless mask, “We still have not arrested the culprit
Phoenix’s POV Sage and I are here in the swimming pool area of the school; every time our school joins swimming competitions, I practice here. I tried out swimming here because the school guaranteed me a scholarship, and the foods are free and vitamins. We are wearing swimwear, and the swimming pool here is like in the competition, “Whoever manage to go here first will win,” he said, “Are you ready to lose?” He sarcastically asked me. His arrogance will be gone once I win in swimming against him, “What stroke should we use?” I asked him. “Butterfly,” he answered me, and we looked at the swimming pool, and we ready ourselves to jump there, “At the count of three. One… Two… Three,” he said, and we both jumped in the pool. I swam towards the other side of the pool using the Butterfly stroke. I cannot lose to
