The others looked at Salim with frown and contempt. Salim started breathing heavily, soon rage filled his face. But he quickly repressed the rage and said in a defeated tone.

“I…I forgot. Look, my head has been messy these past few days and I…don’t remember much.” said Salim.

“That’s nonsense. You remembered what you did with Fareed quite clearly. The two of you seemed so in sync with your testimonies, almost as if you rehearsed it.” said Klancy with a frown.

“I’m not talking about that. I’m just saying that I was in thought and don’t remember how I got to the police station or to the Church, which road I took. It’s not enough proof to convict me!” yelled Salim.

“Did you even go to the Church? You lied so much, I have doubts.” said Galtomor.

“He might have. There were 2 black sedans that moved past the Dawn road and Dragon road intersection towards the Church’s direction in the footage. Just no footage of the car going back.” said Hellen.

“Then the most likely answer is that he went to the Church, met with Nate and Harjal there and they went into the forest in his car in order to attack the Layla family from within the forest.” said Kyong.

“Harjal and Nate were there? Interesting theory. Do you guys know what cars they rode? Were they in the same car as Salim or not?” pondered Fushichin.

Klancy opened up his top info tech and pressed a few buttons to open up information on Harjal.

“He has a blue hatchback. Maybe he rode it towards the church that day.” said Klancy.

“I see it. A blue hatchback has went past the King’s road - Dragon road intersection towards the Church at 22 pm.” said Hellen.

“Nate didn’t own a car. Most likely he took a ride with Salim or Harjal to get there.” said Kyong with a smirk.

“I guess that is settled huh. He definitely went to the Church with the other killers.” said Juniper with a sad face.

“Bullshit. This is all a conspiracy. You fuckers! She, he, you're all trying to set me up! Trashing on my religion, trashing on me, saying that I’m some sort of a sinner, some sort of a killer. Fuck all of you! I ain’t gonna lose to some sinners!” yelled Salim.

Salim sat down, reached his sock then quickly ran towards Juniper. Within a moment a knife was on Juniper’s throat. Juniper had lifted her shirt, her gun visible under it but her fingers were merely touching the grip.

“Lift up your arms where I can see them, Juniper. Or I’ll make sure to skin you alive!” yelled Salim.

When the knife edge pressed on her throat she lifted her hands up. Tears started to appear in Juniper’s eyes.

“You bastard Let her go!” yelled Hellen, gun in her hands.

“Don’t try to do anything funny! Clear the way assholes, stay back!” yelled Salim as loudly as he could.

“Don’t try to do anything stupid Juniper, he can’t hold onto you forever. He already lost!” said Klancy, gun pointing towards Salim.

Salim darted his eyes towards the door and yelled “Open the door! Or she is gonna bite it! And stay the hell away, One mad move and she is dead!”

Manish, Hugo, Hui Ying gritted their teeth and fang but Manish brought out the will to open the door, and the three of them moved away from the door. Fushichin, Hellen, Galtomor pointed their guns toward Salim’s head.

Salim walked backwards while eyeing each one of their movements and went past through the doorway.

“Don’t you peek outside through the doorway or she is dead!” yelled Salim from outside of the room.

“Dammit, what should we do?” grunted Naran.

“The window. We’ll jump through it and intercept Salim from outside the station” said Klancy.

Saying that Klancy jumped through the window and landed outside. Fushichin, Galtomor, Hellen, Naran, Betty followed after him.

They all reached the front gate, opened it and entered the station. From hallway S they turned right but from beyond the corner Salim’s voice could be heard. They quickly went back through the path they took and went outside.

“What do we do?” grunted Betty.

“Hit the bastard with something hard on the head. Hit him so hard that he doesn’t have a chance to stab Juniper!” said Naran.

“Or you know, just kill him. We have guns.” said Fushichin.

“Isn’t there any other way?” asked Hellen.

“He forced our hands! If the hit is too soft, he is gonna stab Juniper.” yelled Fushichin in a low volume.

Hellen searched for her surroundings and surprisingly enough her eyes fell on the large rocks that were placed around the fountain.

She pulled one of them, lifted it and entered the building.

Fushichin and Galtomor tailed her. Juniper’s cry of begging could be heard from the hallway now.

Hellen lifted the rock above her head and stood at the corner of the reception hall. The three of them patiently waited. As soon as Salim’s head appeared from the hallway Hellen slammed the giant rock onto Salim’s head. Salim cried out miserably and leaned against the wall. Juniper jumped away using the chance. Galtomor and Fushichin quickly kicked Salim to the ground. Galtomor got on top of him and pinned his arms on his back. While Fushichin kicked the knife that fell on the ground away from him then went ahead and grabbed it himself off the floor.

Galtomor quickly cuffed Salim’s arms behind his back.

“Salim Aziz, you’re under arrest! You fucking psychopath!” cried Galtomor.

Galtomor pulled Salim up but he didn’t seem to be responding. He put his hand on his neck and noticed that there was a pulse. The other cops came to the hallway and together they carried his body away.
