IX

Astounded. "E-ein"

"F*ck" I mumbled, while looking at the kid I am facing now. "You're digging your own grave kiddo"

He dropped my bag and was about to open his mouth when I stopped him with my words. "I told you not to follow me!" I couldn't stop myself from shouting.

"I'd j-just like to i-return your bag. Y-you forget mo kasi kaya I sundan you" he stuttered. I can't even understand what he's trying to say. F*cking idiot!

I think, I really have to use my syringe to him. "Come to me" I commanded. He took a one step forward, "closer" and so he walked again toward me. I extended my face closer to his ears and whisper, "matulog ka muna" and with that moment. I injected the syringe to him with a sleeping liquid inside it.

He slowly close his eyes until he fell on the ground. It doesn't have any side effects that will harm him. He will just forget what happened on this day. I always have this syringe with me for some emergency purpose, and I didn't thought that I will use this syringe for this kid. Now, I have to think where should I keep him, or how shall I return him?

I tried to lift him up on my back. Fucking weight! he's so heavy! My heart is palpitating so fast as we reached the main ground above my hidden place.

I can just easily burn this kiddo into ashes, or bury him eventhough he's still alive. But, I couldn't. I'm not like his father. I don't kill. I want to see them suffering untill they'll die, without any single stain of blood on my hands.

My eyes get widen as I saw our teacher with two man beside her. The two man looks like a security personnel with their outfit. They're standing in front of our house. Astonished plastered on their faces as they saw me carrying Haru on my back. The two securities approach us and take Haru from my back.

"Why did you brought Haru here?" asked by my teacher. I look at them with my usual stare.

"I didn't" I simply said, and turn my back from them, then I started to walk again slamming the door and leaving their mouth hanging.

"Plastic is everywhere"

When I heard the sound of their car getting away, I hurriedly run again heading back to my hidden place.

As usual, I sat on my favorite place while facing my monitor. I click the video that was recorded from the trial court and place my finger on my lips and I started to squeeze it.

I repeatedly played the last part of the video, wherein the man suddenly cough with a spume coming from his mouth. Masyadong bitin ang video dahil hindi nasave ang buong scenario sa loob ng korte.

A hollogram appeared beside me, it's a news about the situation awhile back. I didn't notice that my lips is already bleeding because I squeezed it too much. I just felt nothing, my whole attention is on the hollogram.

"Kasalukuyan na pong ini-inbestigahan ang naganap na pangyayari sa loob ng korte na ito. Sinasabi na hindi ito isang aksidente, at panglalason ang dahilan ng pagkamatay sa nasabing pulis"

My eyes get widen. A poison?!

I played the video again and scan the whole scene.

After the judge announced if the prosecution wants to do a cross examination. The Prosecutor stood-up and walk infront, while the defendant head back to his seat next to the accused.

The victim is sitting on the opposite side and was watching the Prosecutor throwing the questions to the witness.

The defendant hand off a bottled water to the accused and focuse in front. The accused drank it.

When the Prosecutor announced his last words, it was the part whereon the whole place became chaotic. I press the pause botton and scan it.

The victim is still looking infront while smiling without minding what's happening around her.

There, I saw the Defendant looking at the bottled water he gave to the accused.

"What the hell!" I suddenly shouted. Biglang nangirot ang labi ko pero hindi ko ito binigyan ng pansin.

There is something missing in the video! it'll surely yield a big information for this case!

I trust my calculation, I trust my own theories. It is too impossible that it was just a coincidence.

I shouldn't have doing this at all, but I started it. So, I'll end it, and if I won't it'll surely hunt me. It gave me thrill, and I love it.

I love grinding my mind.

I think, I have to waste some sweat for this one.

I put my pink jacket on, topped with a black bonnet and my eyeglass. I don't think that I still looks the same with my outfit.

I head directly in the dental clinic near the hospital where the police's corpse is. The guard wouldn't allow me to get inside the hospital so I already made a plan for this.

I sneak in to get inside the hospital without people noticing me. I hurriedly pin myself on the wall when I saw some people going on the way where I am.

"Diba dito dinala yung bangkay ng police na namatay sa loob ng korte?" I heard one of the nurses said.

"Yep!"

I'm sure that they were talking about the police's death on the trial court.

"By the way, who will do the autopsy test then? alam naman natin na nasa bakasyon si Doc. Mart"

"I think they requested a pathologist to do the autopsy test. I peek on the medical examiner's facility awhile back to take a glimpse on the doctor" I heard her giggled, "he's so cute!"

They passed infront of me and they didn't notice me because they're busy talking about someone.

What I am doing isn't good, and it might harm me. But, I am Ein. I don't fear anything.

When I assured that there's no one here already. I made my way to find the medical examiner's facility. Damn! buti nalang ay walang masyadong tao sa bahaging ito.

I peek on the window glass of the coroner room. There I saw a nurse and a tall and white man talking, he must be the pathologist.He turn his back to the lady and started to walk out from that place. I hide myself again so the man won't see me. I breathed out when he passed without noticing me.

The nurse appeared on the door and make her way out of this place. She's pushing a cart with some things that aren't familiar to me. There, I saw the paper and it seemed to be the autopsy report. How would I know?

Just a simple examination. The doctor came out without holding anything, it means that the one who's with him have the report.

I followed the nurse, and she stopped on a private facility. When I made sure that there's no one here besides me and the nurse. I entered the room.

I take my glasses off, and put a mask on my face. I just need to act at this time. I held my toy inside my jacket and start the act.

"M-miss" said I. She turned her back and astonished plastered on her face.

Halatang natataranta at naguguluhan ito. "W-what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I-i got lost" said I, and cry. She hide the papers on her back and approach me.

She kneeled down and touch my arm. I hug her and injected my syringe to her. The same one that I injected to Haru.

I think it is really meant to use my toy two times today.

Once she fell asleep, I take the paper on her hand. I was right! it is the autopsy report!

My mouth gapped open when I saw the reason of his death.
