HELLO, STRANGER

CHAPTER 16

KAI’S POV

I woke up late and found that my laptop was still open. I got up and saw that my chat with J was still open, but I was surprised because he sent me my photo while sleeping.

From: J

Sweet Dreams baby ;)

I immediately deleted my photo. How did he get to take a photo of me without my consent? I was even more annoyed this morning so I logged out of the laptop and closed it. I left the room and went downstairs, but instead of hearing mom cooking or talking to my sister, the two of them were watching in the living room and listening to the news. I saw mama crying while my sister hugged mama and made her calm down. When she saw me, she called me to come and listen to the news on TV.

"Going back to the morning news again, a woman was found dead in her own car with multiple stab wounds and was not satisfied and was shot in the head, two arms, and in the leg. According to the police, the victim had a fight with the suspect , it was also learned that the woman was raped before being killed. The police have no other details about who the suspect and the victim are. Investigators are still investigating who the suspect might be and who the bullet came from."

When showing the clothing or equipment of the woman victim, I suddenly saw the bracelet she was wearing. The bracelet she's wearing seems familiar to me, but I can't remember where.

"Oh my god," Mom said in tears.

"Another news, students who commit suicide at a university, it's not over yet. According to the police, they are still investigating those who commit suicide."

Reporters have taken an interview of Mrs. Dean.

"I am afraid because we are also reading and investigating the backgrounds of the children because we are not sure if the reason is suicide or something else," Dean said.

The reporter went back to speaking.

"After several incidents, the case handler's handler, Detective Ollins Rivera, had an accident on a *** st. road. According to the police, Rivera lost control of the car and crashed into a tree. So far, we have been denied Detective Jackie asked our questions." We all stood up to hear the news that Mr. Ollins

"My God, what is happening here to us?" Mom said, crying.

I can not believe it. I immediately took off my long sleeve and my sister's eyes widened when she saw me leaving.

"Where are you going?" Sister is worried.

"I want to talk to Mr. Ollins." I told him.

"Haven't you heard the news? There are many deaths and accidents near your school and near ours", Sister said.

"I can't just leave Mr. Ollins alone. I'll just talk to Mr. Ollins," I said, and left the house. I even heard them shout my name but I never looked back. This is not happening. I was with Mr. Ollins last night, he took me home.

*Ring*

I was running and I hailed a taxi. I immediately got in and told them the address of the hospital. I looked at my cell phone because someone was calling me.

(Have you watched the news?) Layla asked me.

"Yes, so I'm on my way to the hospital where Mr. Ollins is." I said.

(Are you crazy?! What got into your head and are you going there?) He said.

"Are you too? I just want to see if Mr. Ollins is all right," I said.

(Did you know that you can be thought of as a suspect? Because Dean was stupid about what she said.) Layla said.

"I don't care about it because I have nothing to do with it," I told her and she breathed.

(Be careful.) She said and I hung up on her.

After a few minutes, I arrived at the hospital where Mr. Ollins, when I arrived there were many reporters outside the hospital interviewing the police about what was happening.

I thought of a way so that the reporters and the police wouldn't see me, so I thought of just going inside. Luckily, there was a janitor who came inside with a mop, so I followed him inside the back and when I entered I was searched. I immediately went to the counter. When I found it, I immediately talked to the head.

"Ahmm Ollins Rivera." I said.

"Are you a relative?" He asked me. I swallowed.

"A-ahmm friend." I told him and he nodded and looked at the computer.

"Room 307, third floor." He said and I thanked him.

I ran and took the elevator and pressed the third floor button. When it got to the second floor, the elevator stopped and a man in a black hoodie, cap and mask entered. I moved to the side to give him space. The elevator closed and it went up. The surroundings were awkward, but I felt horrible when he approached me next to me. We looked at each other and I was shocked to see his eyes as if he wanted to eat me. I just smiled and when the elevator rang and opened, I immediately ran away from him and looked for Mr. Ollins room.

When I saw the room of Mr. Ollins I knocked before entering. When I entered, Mr. Ollins was lying in bed while having multiple injections into his body. Mr. Ollins is sleeping. He is on oxygen. I went and sat by the side.

"It's my fault.." I whispered and covered my face and cried.

"N-not *gasped* your fault." I looked at the bed and woke up Mr. Ollins, I stood up and approached them.

"Are you alright sir?" I am worried about the question.

"It's not your *gasp* fault." He whispered and I cried even more and my tears fell on his neck. His trembling hand landed on my cheek and wiped away my tears.

"Not your fault." He said again and smiled, so I smiled.
