Psychopath's fragile minds
EWON
"Can I have a minute?" tanong sa akin ni Trae pagkatapos makalabas mula sa forensic room kung saan ay madalas ito naroon.
"Sure," sagot ko sa kanya bago umupo sa aking mesa bitbit ang isang tasa ng kape. "Want some?"
"Na. I'm good," sagot niya bago inilapag ang folder sa aking harapan.
"What's this?" takang tanong ko sa kanya.
"The result of Bien Figlia's case," sagot niya.
Agad kong kinuha ang folder at saka binasa.
"Cause of death, poisoned? How?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko sa kanya.
"Come with me," aniya.
Iniwan ko ang aking kape at saka sumunod sa kanya sa silid kung saan ay tinatawag niyang kanyang kaharian.
Isinuot niya ang kanyang gloves at saka itinaas ang ang kanang kamay ng bangkay ni Bein. Hinawi ng kanyang libreng kamay ang buhok sa kili-kili nito at ipinakita sa akin ang isang napakaluit ng butas na marahil ay gawa karayom.
"This is the place where liquid aconite was injected in him," sabi pa niya bago ibinaba ang kamay ng bangkay. "At first, it didn't occured to me about this until you told me that the victim is in his late thirties, doesn't smoke, is active in physical activities and also maintaining his weight and had a healthy eating. He's the guy you can call living a healthy lifestyle and definitely doesn't have any hereditary heart disease . It bothered me why he had a cardiac arrest that led to his death. He's a healthy guy to be a victim of CA. So I took his heart and lungs to confirm my suspicion about his death," sabi pa niya.
"You expected something was off?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Yeah. So I used gas chromatography. And it was confirmed. I found out within traces of aconitum alkaloids. This kind of poison is undetectable unless you use GC. This kind of poison will paralized your respiratory organ and will to lead hypoxia. Lack of oxygen is going to affect the heart by stopping pumping oxygen through the blood to the brain. And when the brain stops receiving oxygen, the brain will be unable to deliver electrical signals needed to sustain organ function such as breathing," sabi niya sa akin.
"But isn't aconitine is also used in Chinese medicine?" nalilitong tanong ko.
"Yes, it could be but in a very very small amount and in other plants. But aconitine from monkshood plants is very potent. Just two milligram of this in powder or liquid form will kill you. This is not a mere natural death. This is organized murder. A well planned murder. You are dealing with a serial killer whose expertise is all about undetectable poisons," sabi pa niya.
"We need to notify the higher ups and open the Figlia case. I'll talk to the victim's family," sagot ko sa kanya.
Damn! My team has been fooled.
Pagkalabas ko ng Forensic Room ay agad kong pinatawag ang team under my leadership.
"What? A murder?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Jasper. "That newly hired forensic pathologist is damn hella good with his job."
"Yes. And we need to investigate. We need to catch the culprit as soon as possible," sagot ko sa kanila.
Bien Figlia is an Elite Alpha and on top of that he's frigging rich.
Damn alphas and their superiority.
Hindi na iba sa mga mundong ito na madalas ay bully at mapang-api ang mga alphas lalo na sa mga omega na pinakamababa sa lahat. I heard they keep omegas for their own pleasure not because they wanted to be paired.
I'm not surprised if someone actually murdered that bastard mainly because his a notorious f*ucking playboy.
We interviewed a lot of Figlia's employees at sinubukan naming magtanong kung may nakaalitan ba ito o wala. Maging ang pamilya nito o ang mga omegas na nasa bahay niya.
Iisa lang ang sagot nila.
Mabuting tao raw si Bien at wala naman ditong nakaalitan sa trabaho o maging sa negosyo.
Lahat ng impormasyon na kinalaman namin ay walamg lead upang maturo ang possible killer.
"Sir," sabi sa akin ni Jace habang binabasa ko ang initial report ng iba ko pang tauhan.
"Yes?"
"Another murder victim was found in outskirt of the city," sagot niya.
Naagnas na ang katawan at hindi na makilala ang bangkay noong dalhin namin ito kay Trae.
"Sorry for dumping this to you, Trae, but we need you to perfo another autopsy to learn who this person is and how he died," sabi ko sa kanya.
"No problem," sagot niya habang sinusuot ang kanyang protective suit.
This is what I like about Trae. He always means business. Hindi siya nag paligoy-ligoy pa and he always goes down to business. He's one of those omega who chose to be professional rather than selling their body for cash. When he does work, More or less, I'll have the result by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow depending on how long the bodies were dead.
"You're stress or something?" tanong sa akin ni Julian, ang aking male omega wife pagkauwi ko kinabukasan.
I haven't slept since I accompanied Trae while doing the autopsy. I told him he should go home and rest but to no vail, ipinagpatuloy niya ang ginagawa despite the foul odor.
"Kinda. My team's dealing with a serial killer and then there is this decaying body we also need to investigate. I missed you babe," sagot ko sa kanya.
Hinalikan niya ako sa mga labi.
"How about taking a break tomorrow? It's our anniversary. I made a reservation," nakangiting sabi niya.
Julian's pregnant and when he said he wanted us to celebrate, I already filed a leave right two weeks before the exact date.
"Yeah and thank you," sagot ko.
"So how's Trae?"
"He's doing well. He's very good in his chosen field, babe," sagot ko.
Ngumiti siya.
Pamangkin niya si Trae. They were together when I met my wife. Trae moved out after Julian and I got married.
Sabi ni Trae ay gusto niyang maging independent. At first ayaw ni Julian but Trae persuaded him hanggang sa napapayag siya nito. He was a college student back then.
"Tell him to visit me,"
"He's busy right now," sagot ko sa kanya.
Trae
"Cause of death Exsanguination. According to the victim's DNA, he's Asher Knight," sabi ko sa kanya.
Napatingin sa akin si Ewon. He's basically my Uncle since Julian, his male wife, is my mother's brother.
"Asher Knight, you say?" tanong niya sa akin na parang hindi makapaniwala.
"Do you know the victim?" tanong ko.
"Of course, he's an Elite alpha who owns a hotel chain here and abroad," sagot nito sa akin. "Don't you know him?"
"I heard the name but I wasn't really interested," sagot ko sa kanya.
Alphas are all the same.
"The victim did not receive any physical trauma but I found traces of sleeping chemicals in the victim's body. Obviously he was confined to a sleeping state before he bled dry. And the killer copied what an embalmer did. The killer extracted the blood via veins on the victim's neck. This unfortunate victim probably dined with his killer before he was murdered," sabi ko pa pagkatapos ipakita sa kanya ang report na aking binigay.
Tinignan ni Ewon ang folder.
"What kind of killer are we dealing with now?" tanong niya sa akin.
"Someone whose crime is organized just like the poison killer does. In other words, a serial killer," sagot ko sa kanya.
Napabuntong-hininga si Ewon.
I know he's been on his wit. He doesn't have any clue about the poison killer yet and now there's another killer on the loose.
"Your Uncle told me that he wanted to see you," sabi nito maya-maya habang tinangganggal ko ang aking lab gown.
"Yeah I'll visit him later this afternoon. I'm heading to the university today," sagot ko sa kanya.
"University? Don't tell me you decided to study again?" aniya.
"Nope. I was hired as a part time professor in psychiatric criminology. One of my friends recommended me to the Dean," sagot ko.
"Do you even rest?" tanong niya.
"I do," sagot ko. "I'm planning to have a long vacation."
"You know I need you here," aniya.
"I work here, idiot," natatawa kong sabi sa kanya bago binitbit ang aking backpack.
Kyowa University.
Isa itong prestigious college na tanging mga matalino o mayaman lang ang makakapasok. I heard na mga magagaling lang na profesor ang hina-hire dito. I was actually surprised when I was recommended. Hindi naman ako magaling sa field na pinasukan ko. I was just really curious about human anatomy or the stuff that happens inside their precious brain and the cause of their death.
When I was a kid and an omega but that didn't hinder me. My class was nothing but trash and the breeding tool for those three higher classes. When did I start having interest in the human body?
I was a murder happened in my own house. I was eight years old back then. I saw my own uncle, my father's younger brother put something in my father's glass of wine. And when dad drank it, he collapsed after a few seconds of drinking the wine. He was declared dead when he was rushed to the hospital. The doctor told my family that dad had a heart attack and the cause of his death was a heart attack. But I knew that he didn't die because of that. I knew whatever my uncle mixed with his drink, it was the cause of his death.
Since then I have hated my Uncle so much. But it didn't take long before he followed my dad in grave. I was away that time when he got into a car accident and died instantly.
Humans are fragile. That's a fact.
So I dedicated my eight years of life to anatomical pathology and psychology, specializing in crime . I wanted to understand everything about humans.
I'm just a low commoner omega that is going to teach some higher class students.
"Good morning," bati ko sa mga estudyante na nakaharap sa akin.
I know that most of them are alphas. It's a good thing I had my suppressant pills before going to this University that is full of lions and wolves.
Inayos ko muna ang aking salamin bago muling nagsalita.
"My name is Trae Zumbiri, I am a licenced psychiatrist in the field of criminology and forensic pathologist. I'll be the one who will teach you everything you need to know about this field whether you want to be in the police force or in the psychology field. You can ask anything about our lesson before we start," sabi ko sa kanila.
Nagtaas ng isang kamay ang babaeng nasa harapan ko.
"How many years have you been doing this job sir? Are you currently doing these jobs?"
"About one year in PC and three years in FP. But I dedicate most of my time to FP rather than PC. I often being called to do some killer profiling,"
Nagtaas ang kamay ang isang lalaking nasa sulok lamang.
"Yes sir?" tanong ko.
"Best of your experience sir as FP, do you always determine the cause of the death of a certain dead person even in the state of decaying?" tanong nito.
"Yes. There are many ways to do that as long as the body hasn't been deduced to bones yet," sagot ko sa kanya.
Nagtaas naman ang isang kamay ang isa pang lalaki.
"Yes sir?" tanong ko.
"Can you always determine whether the person died of natural causes or murdered as a FP?" tanong nito.
"To answer that question it is possible. For example, I had this case about a certain Elite alpha a couple of days ago. His death was declared as natural cause, which is cardiac arrest. But after hearing the statements of the victim's family, the police who held his case instructed me to perform an autopsy. At first, I had to dig back to the statement that was being told by his family of course. At first glance of his insides, the cause of his death is practically natural but when I accidentally found the slightly swollen skin on his armpit' skin, I found a pinch probably from a syringe or some sort of it. New question came to my mind. Some poison triggered cardiac arrest to the victim and eventually caused him death. I won't tell you more about that case because it is classified and still in the process and the killer is at loose. So all I'm gonna say is, not all natural death is natural," sagot ko sa kanila.
Pagkatapos ng aking tatlong oras na klase ay hinang-hina akong napaupo sa faculty room. Ako na lang ang mag-isa doon.
Tumingin ako sa aking wrist watch.
Seven p.m.
Goodness, parang mas nakakapanghina pa pala ang magturo at sumagot sa mga tanong ng estudyante kesa manghiwa ng katawan ng tao sa mesa.
Narinig kong may kumatok sa pintuan.
Tumayo ako at binuksan iyon.
Nakita kong nakatayo ang isang lalaking estudyante na may dalang mga papel doon. Matangkad ito at saka halatang isang Elite Alpha.
Mahaba ang kanyang buhok at kulay deep green ang mga mata. Of course dahil sa alpha itoat isang elite pa, yung kagwapuhan nya hindi maikukumpara. And me being omega, I felt like I wanna give in.
As if.
I don't have any plans. At saka estudyante pa lang ito and I'm twenty eight years old. He's out of my league.
"Yes?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Sir, pinabibigay po ito ni Sir Leo sa inyo," sabi pa niya sabay abot ng mga papel.
Nangunot ang aking noo.
Hindi ko kilala ang Leo na iyon at-
Naramdaman ko na lang ang bigla akong nanghina at saka nawalan ng malay pagkatapos.
Nagising na lamang ako na nakatali may nakakabit na collar sa aking leeg na naka-konekta sa kadena na nakatali sa isang sulok ng kung saan ako naroon. At nakatali rin ang aking mga kamay
"Oh finally you are awake," sabi ng boses ng isang boses kasabay ng pagbukas ng ilaw mula sa isang lampshade.
Nakita ko roon ang yung lalaking nagbigay ng papers sa akin bago ako nawalan ng malay.
"What is the meaning of this?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"What do you think?" balik tanong niya sa akin bago humakbang palapit sa akin.
Bigla akong nakaradam ng takot sa lalaking papalapit sa akin.
He has this menacing aura radiating from him the same aura I have met four years ago but this time is three times scarier than that of four years ago.
Umupo ito sa aking harapan at saka ngumisi.
"I didn't know that the one who cornered my useless brother was a small guy and to top that is an omega," sabi niya sabay tingin sa akin.
Oh no! One look at this guy, I can say that he's a psychopath! I know the way he's faced tense and his eyes are like dead.
"What if I am an omega? The fact that I can do my job properly is enough. Why the hell am I here and who the hell are you?"
"Two reasons but I'll tell you that later. First you need to give s**t about the suppressant pills you have taken ," sagot niya sa akin. "It will wear out in a couple of minutes. You also know that I am an Elite alpha and you are omega. Based on the data I had gathered about you, today is the start of your heat and since you drank that pill, it won't be a problem, right?" aniya pa.
Tumingin siya sa akin with his menacing eyes.
"Are you ready to be rape by me?" nakangising sabi niya.
Lalo akong natakot sa sinabi niya.
"The f*ck are you saying?" tanong ko sa kanya, hiding my fear.
Inilapit niya ang mukha niya sa aking mukha and then sniffed me.
"Oh I can smell fear from you. Are you scared of me?"
Yes! Damn you!
"Let go of me. I'm not scared of you," matapang kong sagot sa kanya.
Tumayo ito at saka tumawa.
"You're impressive for an omega. Those Elite alphas I killed showed fear at me before they kissed their ass goodbye to this world," sabi niya.
Kinabahan ako sa sinabi niya.
"Your-"
"Yes. And you came into the scene and you became a nuisance again this time," sagot niya. "I killed those two stupid alphas and yet again you exposed their cause of death just like how you made my brother committed himself to the almost perfect crime he made," sabi pa niya.
"Y-your brother?"
"Eddie Talbot. He's my elder brother. He's the one who killed twenty elite alphas before he was arrested. He's good at hiding it and the police didn't even suspected him as the killer but you came and boom everything blown up,"
Naaalala ko ang sinasabi niyang Eddie Talbot. He was the first criminal I worked on in the field of psychiatric crime I studied before. I was a fresh graduate that time when Ewon hired me to do that job. Eddie sure is one hell of a tough opponent. Everytime I'm going to ask him about the crime, he always blocks me off and sometimes leaves me unable to counter his attacks. And when I finally about to give up and declare him as innocent, I accidentally stumble on his secret life. He's a freaking psychopath. As I dug deeper, questioning him and cornering him, I admitted the crime he did. Then the next morning we found him hanging in own cell. He used the sheet and hanged himself.
"My name is Elliot Talbot and you will going to be my slave,"
"More. Deeper please,"
I can't even think straight right now. Elliot's been giving attacking me since the pills worn off. My heat started and entice Elliot. He even entered me without proper preparation.
At first it was painful but then as the time goes by, wala na akong sakit na nararamdaman. It the s*x become some so pleasurable. Elliot made a mess on me. I can't even think straight. All I want is his d**k inside of my hole and pump me harder.
I'm turning into slut because Eliiot refuses to give me those pills.
"Mnn. More.. more."
Elliot
"Please give me your c**k. I want more," sabi sa akin ni Trae habang nakaupo sa aking lap facing me.
"Then put it inside you, baby," sagot ko sa kanya.
Bahagya niyang inangat ang kanyang sarili at saka dahan-dahan niya itong ipinuwesto sa kanyang asshole bago tumingin sa akin.
"Go on," nakangiting sabi ko.
Dahan-dahan niyang ibinaba ang kanyang palakang like impaling himself on my c**k. And he suddenly sit on it, I feel like I wanted come immediately.
No matter how many times I violated his sexy little asshole, he's still tight as f*uck.
"Aren't you going to kill again?" tanong niya habang ginigiling ang kanyang katawan.
Napahawak ako sa kanyang bewang at saka kinagat-kagat ang kanyang leeg.
"No. Not this time. I'm tired of it," sagot ko sa kanya.
It's been two months since I had my last kill. The beast inside of me didn't want anything more than violating this little omega. We don't have any appetite to kill again. But I come to think that Trae probably keeps the beast in me, preventing me from killing again. The desire to kill I had before he came to me was slowly being locked up.
Tumingin ako sa mukha ni Trae. He absolutely loves riding my d**k like a pro. He's cute and pretty face only belongs to me.
He's been declared missing after I kidnapped him and until now, nobody knew his whereabouts. He doesn't complain why I locked him up here. He said, he doesn't want to do any of his fields anymore. He only wanted to be embraced by me. And that seems to satisfy my beast.
I was fascinated by him when I was still a high schooler. My brother was a highly prolific serial killer who killed so perfectly that almost the death of his victims were all natural.
I wonder how a small omega male could make him admit to all the crimes he committed. Until then I learned that he has a natural talent. He's the psychopath's natural enemy. He even solved the murdere I did back then. He's skills are beyond those who have aged in that field.
Tumingin ako sa kanya habang natutulog.
I hope Trae will completely tame the beast in me. I tried hard to keep at bay but everytime I did it, I failed. It took me and I killed almost ten people in two months.
Hinaplos ko ang kanyang pisngi.
"Mnn what's wrong?" tanong niya noong nagising siya.
"Nothing. So to sleep again," sagot ko bago siya ninalikan sa noo.
Tumnago siya sa akin at saka muling ipinikit ang kanyang mga mata.
I was born a psychopath the same as my older brother. Our parents weren't aware of us and kept their lives busy doing business. Ed left the house when he was seventeen. By then, I don't have any idea what he was doing with his life. For me, I was nine when I started to fill the bloodlust. I thought it was just normal at first. And to satisfy it, I killed a lot of animals back then. Whenever I see blood, it satisfies me. When I grew a little bit older, I had the desire to try to kill a person. I was wondering how much satisfaction I would have if I was able to kill a person. I got curious. The blood lust I felt for such a long time suddenly increased.
I had the target in my mind. So all I need to do is make a plan. A perfect plan.
So I lured my first victim in the forest. And there, I killed him using an axe. When his blood splattered on my face, I was high, like an idiot high with drugs. The satisfaction I got especially when he was begging is beyond delicious. It was amazing.
As the time went through, I had lost counts on my kills. And then I met Trae accidentally when he apologized to my parents. He was so beautiful that I wanted to make him one of my victims but instead. I wanted to try his field of expertise.
I knew deep down that he'll gonna solve Figlia's case. It was my expectation. And I wasn't disappointed. He's too good to be true.
Tumingin ako sa kanya.
I wanted to have a battle with him. I'll kill more and let him solve it.
But my plan betrayed me.
I was actually the one who fell head over heels on him.
We are now partners.
We left the country to get married and possibly start a life and a family.
"Come on, your thinking again. Sleep, okay?" sabi niya na muli na namang nagising.
Ngumiti ako sa kanya ay saka hinawakan ang kanyang leeg.
"I'll sleep if you pleasure me," sabi ko.
Ngumiti siya sa akin.
"Okay. But promise me if you really feel like killing someone, tell me alright? My heart sinks whenever I see you drifting your thoughts somewhere I can't reach," sabi niya.
"Yes, ma'am," sagot ko bago siya hinalikan sa mga labi niya.
