Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 5

The small town, the peace and quiet town, woke up after the sirens echoed every single street in WestWood Town.

The red and blue light is spreading everywhere. Every single house turned their lights on to see what is happening outside.

But even they don't see what's the reason why those police car are driving so fast, they already know what happened, what's happening.

A body, the body is already found.

Everyone hug each other, every member of the family hold hands to each other. One cries, one is happy, one is sad, one is desperate, one is dead, and one is the killer.

And there's this one, one who's pretending not to know what really happened.

'Nice act. You make me believe you from the first sentence of your word, when you call. But are they going to believe you, when they investigate you?

-xoxo C :)'

Now what? What are the next thing we're going to do? I'm going to do?

You know, when you want to get away with murder, you have to be, be careful to every step, every decision you're going to make. Because you might not notice, that while you're doing the things to get away with murder, someone's watching you, or maybe you leave tracks, evidence that is going to point back at you.

So make sure, that you're pretty careful doing it, even if it's your first time doing it.

Like me, Like one and only Jackson Hall.

"Help me drag his Body Henry." I requested while I'm draging Chase Body to Chase car's trunk. "Wait!" Henry said while wiping the blood stain on the grass.

We're lucky that even tho it's been midnight, the light from Chase car have a bright light so we can see every single detail from the crime.

I rolled my eyes because I don't know what to do. My heart skips it's every beats and I don't wanna get caught, I don't want us to get caught!

"Hey!" Henry shouted. "I told you not to do it alone!" He added and he drop the scarf on the grass and run towards me to help me drag and put Chase body inside his Car Trunk.  He acts like he didn't know I am dragging this body alone.

After we put Chase body inside the trunk I look to his body.

"Now What?"

I don't know, I don't f*****g know what to do next. I'm a mess, I'm a f*****g mess. All I can do that time is just to look, to look at his peaceful body.

I felt like drowning without water, drowning with air, not water.

I remember that time, the air is dead, but it's too cold. I couldn't understand what I am feeling that time, I have no idea what kind of air I am breathing, I'm still alive, but I felt like already in Hell.

There's just a lot of things that happened that night, a lot of bad things that I can't process. Just like now, like what is happening right now.

Present Day

Cold but so dead. That is what I am feeling right now while sitting inside this metallic room. The cops are questioning me on how I found the body, but I couldn't hear the cops, I can only hear the click of the clock. My sweat is running down my forehead and feel the heat inside of it. I felt like I'm inside a box with no holes to breath in.

"Sir?" I look back to the cops who look like who just graduated from High school. I mean yea, Highschool. "How old are you exactly?" holy f**k! I didn't mean to ask that question to him. "Excuse me? I think it is out of your business to ask my age sir." He says. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." I answered. "So could you tell me how'd you find the body?" He asked again.

I clear my throat to answer the question better, and clear.

"My dog went missing, I don't know what is the exact time since my school end at 5 and went home around 6." I said. The cop is just waiting for my next word to say so I continue talking. "Around dinner, it is time for my dog to eat his dinner when I notice that my dog wasn't around so I look around my house but he wasn't there, so I went outside to find him until I heard him behind those creepy scary trees behind my house. I keep calling him until I found him, but it wasn't just me who found something, also my dog found something, the body." I continued.

Lies

"Anyone who can prove that your dog is missing?" He ask back.

I am confuse.

"I don't know, maybe ask the neighbor who obviously heard me calling my dog name, or not, it was your job." Okay Jackson, I think it was a bad idea suggesting to a cop who can clearly find out about the truth, about asking the neighbors.

"Thank you for that information Jackson. You can go home now." He said, but before I went outside the room, he called me. "This is my number. Call me if there's anything you can tell me, or if you needed help." He said and land a card to my palm that has his name and his phone number.

So what exactly can a number do?

I know number isn't just a number, number can do a lot of things. For example, How can I get away with murder.

1.      Do not leave your DNA!

"Come on!" I said while scraping the blood from the rock that killed Chase. Henry already cleaned the grass and erase our DNA to every single object here. We are wearing a gloves so we're not gonna leave any DNA while cleaning and covering up the murder I did.

2.      Tell someone who you truly trust.

I mean I already did this tip number 2, I already told Henry about it. But the question is... why do you need to tell it to someone you trust when there is a possibility that, that person can turn you in. Well the answer is, it is because they will help you get away with it. A true friends don't turn their friends in. Because you two can't leave each other behind, you two cannot be whole, if one of you is dead, nor missing, or just in jail. So choose wisely, because I chose Henry.

And I know Henry won't turn me in.

3.      Clean the area where the crime happened.

Make sure that there are no marks nor any personal object or personal fingerprint everywhere, or otherwise, you can't get away with murder, since there are evidence pointing back at you. So in short, don't you ever ever leave any evidence that can point back at you.

4.      Destroy the weapon you used.

I mean think about it, if the weapon or the object that used to kill the victim is still alive, then you'll be damned. So it's either crushed it into pieces, burn it until it turns to ashes or throw it in the middle of the ocean, yeah middle. But remember this, don't you ever hide the weapon you used, nor  buried it or just plant it somewhere and throw at the side of the ocean, because that is how you get caught murdering someone.

"You know what?" Henry said. "Give me this rock!" He said so I gave the rock to him. "What are you going to do about it?" I ask him out of curiosity. "Never erase your DNA to an object that kills the victim, because there are a lot of ways to bring the DNA, instead, destroy it." Hendry said. "So how are we going to destroy my DNA or Chase DNA to that rock?" I ask him.

"Burn it."

"Burn? Rocks don't burn Henry." I said. "Rocks don't burn, but transform into ashes." He said.

Oh, that's a great Idea!

I know telling this to Henry is a good Idea. I don't know what I am going to do if I do this alone.

"Come on now let's go." Henry said. "Where?" I ask him... "To destroy the evidence, and your DNA." He said. "But what are we going to do to the body?"

And that's where the step number 5 comes in.

5.      Transport the body away from the place where you killed the victim.

Remember to never leaves the body where the crime takes place. So put the body away from the crime scene. Make sure to use a car, blanket or any kind of clothes to cover the body, and use gloves for you not to leave any DNA to the body.

"Are you done yet?" Henry asked to me. "I don't know when I'll be done. What if there still blood stains on the grass, or on the streets and we can't just see it??" I said. "Then it was nothing for them since there are no suspicious things they can see. " Henry said. "Come here." He said to me so I have no choice but to walk towards him. I was immediately shock when he hug me. "It wasn't your fault, don't think about it alright?" Henry calm and comfort me. "The only problem we should be thinking right now, is where are we going to dump the body." He added. I look to his eyes.

This is the most stupid Idea that I am thinking. But at the same time, this is the only way for us not to get caught. I have plans in my head, I just need to listen to Henry, since his the one who has a lot of experience when it comes on this. He is a med tech student, he knows how DNA works. He knows how to erase one, and knows how not to have one.

"We have to hide the body in my house." I said. Henry's eyes widened and his pupil enlarge, and I know he is against about my idea. But, "I have plans Henry. I trusted you, now you have to trust me back." I said. "But what if you get caught?" He whispered in the air. "What if they saw us, driving this body? And his car? What if they saw the blood? What if the rock didn't turn into ashes? What if there's no what if?" I said. I touch his shoulder. "I have an idea about the rocks, about the car, and his body." I calm him down and hug him back. "Henry, I trusted you my whole life, now you have to trust me on this one... Just this one..." I whispered to his ear.

I felt Henry nodded so I separate myself to him.

"So what is the plan?"

I take a deep breath and get some confident to say this.

"The plan is not  to get caught."

Well, that wasn't exactly the plan that I have in my mind, but that plan is the best plan of all plans that hasn't been plan.

Did you get it?

So what is really the plan?
