1 Chapter 1 - The Camera

"Shift is done," I heard from a distance.

Everyone in there left after placing the wakie-talkies on the table cause they are all going home.

I stood up and got my jacket.

"Finally," I muttered under my breath as I stretched and planned what I would do tomorrow.

(Static noise)

"What the-" I turned around and saw one of the cameras in B2 loosing signal, I got my walky-takie:

"Emergency in B2, the camera's loosing signal, requesting investigation. I repeat Emergency in B2, the camera's loosing signal, requesting investigation."

I noticed they left their walkie-talkies and no one was there, "GoshDangit." I exited the door, still with the talkie. "I've always wanted to say that and not a single person, not one heard it."

I was about to use the elevator but I missed it, not wanting to wait longer, I used the stairs.

I was standing in front of the door.

I readied my gun, "ok,ok (deep inhale)" I barged in and pointed my gun in all the directions I investigated.

Nothing, no one was there.

Except the security guy, "What the heck dude," he said doing a face I can imagine that one is looking at a weirdo.

I slowly put down the gun, "I-im sorry, the camera was just cut off and-" he cut me off, "Just get the hell out of here." He shoved his hands and I entered the door to go back. "Wait, I still have to check the camera!" And opened it again.

The camera was crushed. 'I better report this asap.'

"Hello? Hello?" Roger's voice was on the walkie talkie, "Roger, Thank God." I said in relief.

"I noticed one of the talkies were missing so I checked up, what the heck happened the cameras loosing signal," He said

"I just came to check and B2's camera was smashed." I explained.

"What about the elevator!" He said.

"What elevator?" I said.

*ding

The elevator door opened.

"Oh..my goodness" I stared at the elevator.

"CARL!what happened? I'm calling an investigation right now! ANSWER ME! IM CALLING 911 TOO! Better be safe, as a boss, I don't want to be charged for your saftey." He panicked.

"There..." I shivered and petrified (a little) "dead body." I managed to let it come out of my mouth as I pointed a gun at the man beside the dead body, the dead man was the security guard I saw a while ago. His name was John. "Suspect found." I tried to sound confident and dropped the talkie to hold the gun with 2 hands. "Get out of the elevator." I said, he did with his hands raising in the air but he whined he did'nt do it.

**weeeedoooo**

Police cars surrounding the parking lot, amulances were there too. "CARL." Roger called me when he got off the car. "Th--tha" I felt fear, I could'nt stop stampering my words, then an explosion occured in level 2,

In the security camera room.

"You can explain when you feel better." He let me enter the car going to the police station while the rest investigated.

I was given a blanket and a hot cocoa drink. "Calm down Mr. Carl and explain everything to us." An officer said.

"I was about to leave my shift then..I noticed B2's camera was loosing signal so I went to check myself since everyone left already." I explained.

"So, you did not see at that time the elevator's camera loosing signal?" He asked.

"Yeah, It was only B2's," I explained as he wrote everything down.

"Do you know or have a connection with the victim you saw?" He asked me, the victim was the security guard I bumped into.

"Well...I only met him once." I said

"Once? Tell me how, when, where." He readied to write things down.

"On the same night he was murdered, I was about to check the camera the he shooed me off... probably beacause it was closing time, I went back to the door then realized about the camera that the camera was crushed after Roger talked to me using the walkie talkie." I explained everything after, everything I know but it did not match up and did not make sense, the officer realized it to and started doubting my statement.

"If he (security guard)was in B2. Then how did the elevator open up in B2? He must be somewhere above that level. He must be lying, the officer must have been killed during his way to the elevator." Some protested and some were on my side too, well it was only Roger, Larry, Mary and me but thats good enough.

Roger is my boss, not the best but he really takes care of us because you know... he's "da boss" if we get hurt its his fault and he also has to discipline us.

I sat on one of the chairs their in the waiting room and I felt so sleepy, "coffee Mr. Charles?" An officer said. I looked at his name plate, his name was Willy.

"It's Carl but I'll let it slide Willy and accept the offer you offered but I will not show any gratitude whatsoever." I can say sleepiness is drugging me, I goo cray-cray, coo-coo, uhhhh.. and I'm dying because of it. Its a 2:00 am in the morning dudes, I sipped the coffee but I still felt sleepy, I want to go home and lie at my magical bed. I have no more job, my life is going to be a suspect, more and more problems...my eyes were shutting then I heard Roger's voice that woke me up.

"The interrogation with him is starting, Mr. Carl would you like to see?" Roger requested.

"Him?" I asked.

"The man who you pointed a gun to in the elevator and said 'get out of the elevator'." He said but this news was giving me more energy than the coffee.
