Chapter 6

The murder in the kitchen !

A line of blood was streched all the way to the end of the kitchen . The blood was still wet so there was a blood smell still lingering on the area . At the end of the kitchen corner , a middle aged man was lying on the ground.

He was wearing a white chef shirt but at the right side of his chest , a knife was stabbed deeply and blood dyed his shirt .

He lay there dead !

Tim face became pale and he immediately yelled in panic.

"Boss ! ....Boss !!! Gary ....is dead !!"

His loud voice was heard by everyone and the tenants in the room heard too .

Gary the cook was dead in the kitchen !

What worse is that he was killed !!!

The rainfall wasn't going to end soon and the hotel Croves was bound to be chaos these night !

Rumble !

The thunder was striking furiously at the dark clouds , illuminating the dark sky for a moment .

.....

Five to six people were standing outside the kitchen door and Tim was one of them. He was busy explaining to them about how he found the body and everyone was listening to his words carefully.

Some of them were in panic ,some of them were frowning and some were curious while other in fear . Everyone had their own emotions now and Marcel was the one who was stuck in the most problem now .

Marcel was inside the kitchen , he looked at Gary body and indeed confirmed that he was no longer breathing . He looked at the knife that's stabbed in Gary heart and felt that he was stuck in a huge trouble.

The bloody manager, Charles was on leave today and as the second in charge of the hotel here , he would get questioned by the police for sure .

Suddenly a phone call ringing sound was heard when Marcel came out of the kitchen in frown.

Ring ! Ring !

The ringing sound brought a chill down to everyone in these silent hallway.

Marcel said to Tim

"Go and see who's calling!"

Tim nodded and went to the receptionist desk while the rest of the people began to look at each other with doubts and caution.

The hotel cook was dead and someone killed him , who knew that the killer might be still here ? As they thought, their mind gave birth to various negative thinking.

The men in suit was the first to speak

"So who killed him ?"

Marcel shook his head and said

"I have no idea ...."

John was gripping his girlfriend hands tightly and they both had pale face . He couldn't help but say

"I heard that there are many people getting disappeared at night ...do you think this is also the hand of that serial killer ?"

Everyone face changed and fear started to surface in their heart but the next moment someone broke their fear by casual words .

George looked at John like he was looking at some idiot . He mockingly said

"Kid ! You are talking nonsense. Don't you know that the people would disappear and their bodies were never found but here the cook was killed and the body was in the open kitchen ! Someone here killed the cook so both case are unrelated to each other ! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything!"

John face became red but he didn't have anything to talk back so he became quiet . While his girlfriend was making eye contact with George secretly .

The man in suit frowned and questioned George

"What do you mean by 'someone here' ?"

George scoffed lightly and said in matter of fact

"Of course you heard me right ! A killer is there with among us ! You think the cook killed himself from boredom or what ?"

A old women who was the oldest resident of the hotel said in sad tone

"Poor Gary ! He was a very nice person! Which devil killed him ?"

John's girlfriend attached herself close to John and said something in his ear . John had change in his expression when he heard his girlfriend words . Apparently the words she said was something he never expected to hear from her .

While George and the man in suit began to argue each other while Marcel tried to make them calm down ...

...

At the reception,

Ring ! Ring !

Tim came near the desk and received the call . He answered casually

"Hello ! Who is this ?"

The other side was silent for a second before a anxious voice was heard .

"Blood..."

Tim was confused by the other party weird words so he said softly

"Sorry we don't sell blood here !"

The other party became silent !

Tim thought the voice was breaking off when he didn't hear anything so he asked again

"Hello ! Hello !"

"Help me ! ..... "

The other party voice was loud now and if others heard the voice they would probably think that the person was dying.

Tim scratched his head and said with irritated tone

"Stop yelling! I can hear you . This is a hotel not your home ! "

The other side on the call was very speechless. This time the voice was soft like someone else was talking , it was different from the first voice he heard before .

"There is blood everywhere! Help me !"

Tim thought that the caller was definitely stupid ! Why was he calling the hotel at night for that simple reason .

"You calling for that simple reason? Are you stupid or what ? Isn't it just blood ? Just clean them that's all! Don't tell me your mother never shown you how to do that ?"

The other party ended the call immediately .

Why would my mother would show me how to clean the bloods ?

What kind of retard logic is that ?

Has hotel Croves became crazy ?

They are very strange !

Tim looked at the call and was very confused why would the call end suddenly . He left the receptionist desk and went towards the kitchen while humming a low tune .

He definitely forgot that the cook was just killed and there might be still killer lurking around the hotel .

What a weird waiter !
