‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Garam tossed the file on the table . They had collected clues from every corner and looked at the cameras where Namkyu's car was packed. The camera only shows a hooded person opening the car and getting inside. Motion and attribute specialist suggest the contours are of a senile male considering the grouching and limping but they don't ascertain that as it seems very unnatural. Anyway the person was so quick but something doesn't make sense.

No one enters by foot into the parking lot from outside but the way this person came and approached the car shows they walked right into the place meaning that the guard let them in. If the guard let the culprit into the parking lot from outside then the gaurd must be familiar with them that seeing them drive out Namkyu's car wouldn't be alarming. the same guard who watches over the cars had reportedly gone missing ever since this car was driven out of parking lot.

" It's dead-end after dead-end .", Chohee screeched, snatching Shiyang's coffee and drinking it

"What's even worse is that, the culprit made sure not to meet any cameras and we only have visual on the car until the last point. Minjun said according to the computer box the car travelled twenty miles stopped and worked for a further fifteen miles until it turned on ten hours later to drive back to the highway! ", ChaeWon argued.

Minjun placed a cup next to Shiyang but Garam picked up the coffee on the table and drank it. He had a headache trying to understand what happened to Gyutae. Shiyang gave him his tablet to read the brainstorm.

The guards said that the doctor arrived at 1240. This eliminates the possibility of Gyutae having gone to the cabinet first since he checked in at 1300. Assuming that was the real Gyutae, if he left at 1255, it would take eight minutes to reach the cabinet, contradicting the ten minute estimate . So the Gyutae in Namkyu's room was someone else. As for the CCTV in the cabinet , it isn't missing, the cameras weren't even recording! Whatever the case , everything that happened requires atleast two hours so something isn't linking up.

Garam handed back the tablet and Minjun asked for it as well .

Suddenly Yeonghwan burst into the room and called Garam. He mentioned that someone from Gyutae's workplace came over.

Everyone quickly rushed out . When they got there , they found a lady about the same size and build as GyeongJa and she seemed nervous. She stood rigid and tense. Bomsoek gave her a cup of water and she sipped it . While the officers stood, she was give a stool. Garam who had already sat on a desk, moved over offering Shiyang a place to sit so he can type her statement . The lady introduced herself as a nurse and narrated the whole story. Immediately then Garam yelled for ChaeWon to call forensics and to recheck the log book.

She said that she had gone to the cabinet at around eleven and found the temperature extremely low which was bad for some medication so she adjusted it. She was afraid to mention this as she had involuntarily tempered with Gyutae's body.

The officers looked amongst each other .This implies that the killer intentionally set the temperature low so that it looks like Gyutae just died. So Gyutae could have died earlier on and then the killer went back to check-in meaning that the first time they entered the room , they used a different name tag.

" Gyutae checked in once on that day so how did he end up in the cabinet before the killer checked in with his card? ", Minjun asked

"How did the killer know that Gyutae was going to be assigned to Namkyu? ", Chohee screamed.

" There are only two possibilities. Gyutae was an arbitrary victim or the killer assigned Namkyu himself! ", Shiyang added and turned to find Garam turning his eyes away from him.

Minjun who saw this motion ,bit the bottom of his lip and went away to find ChaeWon.

Yesang held a wooden rod and carried it back to the upstairs dining room. He found him sleeping on the sofa and he stampeded him with it haphazardly all over his body. Jinyoung tried to block the attacks but Yesang was too fast. When he tried to escape, Yesang hit him on the head then pulled him by the hair before he dragged him out and pushed him down the stairs.

As his body tumbled down the fleet, Yesang was directly behind him. The next second that Jinyoung landed on the floor, Yesang hit him again but luckily the rod broke .Ms Park emerged behind Yesang carrying the computer and Yesang violently pulled it from her then showed the screen to Jinyoung. Silently he got up and watched it .

" Police are currently looking through backup CCTV found from the hospital killing. A formal report say that motion experts are studying the video and have identified a male of average height and after a few hours, a sketch shall be produced",

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Yesang tossed his computer to the floor.

He jumped off and he went then punched Jinyoung. As he fell backwards , he tore his face on the ground.Afterwards Yesang grabbed Jinyoung by the collar and threw him across the floor making sure that his blood trails behind. He then proceeded to furiously kick him on the ribs . Yesang picked the shattered computer and he raised it to slam Jinyoung's head until he saw him get up and silently kneel .

Yesang tossed it aside and he slapped Jinyoung.

Yet again he arose . His face was beyond recognizable. He was bleeding and bruised everywhere. Through his swollen eyes, streams of tears mixed with blood were visible. Every piece of his body ached and throbbed .Some parts of his skeleton were definitely fractured.

Yesang pulled a gun from his pocket and aimed it to Jinyoung.

The maids all exclaimed in shock ! Ms Jun nearly had a heart-attack as she peaked by the corridor. As for Ms Lee ,she was indifferently cleaning the windows but God knows she was frightened for Jinyoung's life.

Jinyoung kept his head burried. His tears dropped to the ground but he didn't make any sound. Blood from the wounds on his face poured down onto the floor but he wasn't trembling. Just the way he is shows that he had guilt tripped himself more brutally than what Yesang is doing to him now !

" Look up!", Yesang growled at him and Jinyoung obeyed.

The moment his eyes saw the gun, his blood went cold . This is the first time he had ever seen a gun at such proximity let alone aimed at him. As much as he should see his life flash before his eyes, all that he sees is an absence .

Jinyoung just breathed softly as he prepared to feel the metal penetrating his skull and scattering his brain matter on the floor. He always wondered what it's like to die , to feel the energy slowly leave one's body and have his sight go blank. He thought he would die during some athletic trip or some manic who poisoned his drink during tennis competitions. Whatever the case, he never expected it would be at the hands of a serial killer with zero-degree empathy and subnormal brutality!

Yesang let the gun dangle on his finger which confused Jinyoung.

Without knowing when or why , Jinyoung slowly reached for and took it with both hands. The pain flooded his nerves as he forced his muscles to mimick the soft motion. It hurt like he had grated his skin on gravel and smeared the wounds with salt and hornets.

As he held the weapon, he contemplated pulling the trigger in his mouth.

" Head , teeth, toes , womb ...",

Jinyoung raised his head to look at Yesang. He couldn't tell what he was listing because he hasn't followed Yesang's killings. They are too gruesome and would give him nightmares. But judging from the things he hears from Namkyu,it's safe to say that Yesang is building a pattern or a collection.

" Hands! ", Jinyoung vaguely completed his sentence and Yesang looked at Jinyoung's hands.

Once again Jinyoung got confused . Nevertheless Yesang raised his hand to slap Jinyoung who responded by closing eyes in preparation for another gnawing injury.

Yesang's reddened hand froze mid-air as he hesitated for the third time!

Instead of that , he harshly kicked him on the chest sending him to the floor. Afterwards he disappeared.

He laid there with a gun in his hand and blood out of his face. The short stabbing pains that are coming from his chest are slowly getting sharper with the more he thinks about Yesang and how useless and burdensome he must see him now. The eigengrau colour in his vision felt hot pressed against his eyelids. He laid in a pool of his own blood that felt like sleeping on shards of glass.

(Ten hours later)

A knock came on the door and Hyoson opened the door. She scrutinized her visitor before her expression melted off when suddenly a gun was placed to her face .

The phone she was carrying fell to the ground and shattered instantaneously

" Jinyoung! What are you doing!!", She asked , backing out.

Dressed in all back and hidden behind a medical mask, beanie and black disposable gloves, he slowly strode inside. The next second she tried to run , he kicked her making her fall down. When Hyoson was getting up, Jinyoung pulled her by the hair and slammed her on the glass table. Furniture started to fly and punches were exchanged. Everytime she called Jinyoung's name , he would hit her with the nearest thing from flower pots to trophies all the way to ornaments. Hyoson tried to fight off the attacker but was subdued . She cried for mercy when next she kicked and kicked but she finally stopped and counted back from five to her last breath. Jinyoung dragged the table frame and forcefully pressed so that the leg penetrates her skull.

She stopped moving! For a prideful woman , she was surprisingly easy to kill, thanks to the wine she had drunk.

Exhausted and in agony as he was , he picked up the phone and he walked to the bedroom. He already knew that her sister had called the cops but he didn't care.

He opened the door and saw teenage Taeyeon shivering in the corner.He held the gun to her face and signaled for her phone. After she gave it to him, Jinyoung dialled the police then pointed the phone to her.

She told them that an intruder had came. Surprisingly he typed that she should say the intruder looks like Geun Namkyu! She tried to explain that she had already mentioned that the intruder is Jinyoung but then he jacked the gun!

Fear and trauma cascaded her as she stammered through the tears . Taeyeon said into the phone that she isn't sure who is who and she recalls hearing her sister say that she will keep calling the attacker Jinyoung when the attacker resembled Namkyu.Soon after he hung up , he quickly hit her on head and knocked her down. He then proceeded to kick her viciously to the point of unconsciousness. His thighs burned as he moved because he hadn't recovered from being beaten by Yesang

He took her laptop charger and tied it around her neck. Virtue to that didn't have the strength to strangle her, he pulled her body all the way to the kitchen. On the floor,he butchered off her hand , put it in a container and threw the machete onto her face . For the hell of it , he took all the kitchen knives and stabbed her just like he heard Gyutae was stabbed

His jacket and pants were a bit bloody so he undressed and placed the clothes in a bag along with the container.He left still wearing his mask but now in baseball shorts, t-shirt and Taeyon's jacket. The automated door did the honours of closing itself behind him.

While he glided with a partial limp through the corridors, the police casually passed him. Unfeeling and empty! He had the walk of a man who had sold his soul in exchange for invisibility.He left the apartment.

He quarter-limped a few steps and Yesang was right there! Of course he was in a disguise but Jinyoung knew it was him! Before the questions could arrive, Yesang went and hugged him!

such an unexpected gesture showed be welcomed but there is too much chaos in Jinyoung's mind and what remains of his soul. He just killed two people mercilessly in automatic transition as if he is being commanded by a certain sick and twisted mastermind somewhere and he is just there to provide his body for disposal. The last thing he needs is to act like he is in the mood for Yesang who mutilated his face , fractured most of his ribs, dislocated his hip and made him temporarily deaf in the right ear .

" Just smell me!", He whispered and Jinyoung drew in his faint smelling perfume.

Like magic, his mind started to become a bit hazy and he fell unconscious. his senses were in peak sensitivity therefore,a little anesthesia could drug him faster than average.Yesang then threw his hand over and carried him away like he was drunk and they got in his car which was being driven by the ever-unfeeling Ms Park.

" I thought he would shoot his brother or a cop",Ms Lee echoed in the adjacent seat

" Surprises are exhilarating !", Ms Park commented slowly.

'either it's the scent of blood or the anesthesia but my heart is blazing !', he ignored the ladies
