The Secret

Three

Sabrina stopped by the mini market the next day. She wants to meet the person who became the hero in a serial robbery case. If the man was shopping here, he probably lived close to a convenience store. During these few days, Sabrina had not calmed down. Curiosity that always interferes can not be removed.

The shop owner immediately recognized Sabrina. The fat woman nodded. Signaling that the person she has looking for is there.

    Since morning, Luca has been feeling hungry. Reina hurriedly left to get a job and only left the fried rice left over from last night. Because of that, he stopped at a mini market near his house. The place he used to face robbers. The lady owner and her husband smiling warmly at him and was welcoming. To them, he is a hero.

    Not long after, a cute girl come with long hair where is attracts his attention. There was something about that figure who was walking for sure to him.

    'Run! Run! Hurry up!' command Luke to himself.

***

    Sabrina was taken aback, not expecting that the person she was about to meet would run away. The girl immediately gave chase, but the man moved swiftly and quickly through the shelves in the convenience store and rushed out.

    She was about to chase the guy, but she bumped into a girl instead.

"Are you ok?" She asked the fallen girl as she helped her up. The girl just nodded. Sabrina saw the man she was chasing was not here again and she then decided to leave.

    'Detective? So the girl is a detective? But why is she looking for Luke? Or maybe Luke really in trouble?' Reina guessed wondering.

     She had accidentally passed by and saw a female figure about to chase Luca. She deliberately crashed herself to that female, so the person who was aiming for Luca couldn't catch up.

     'I have to go home soon.'

    "I don't know what you mean," said Luca for the umpteenth time when Reina urged. Reinareally wanted to know if he was in trouble.

    "That woman is a detective. There's no way she was looking for you without a reason."

    Those words left Luca stunned for a moment. Reina continued to stare intently.

    "Ah, I just remembered now. A few days ago, there was a robbery at the convenience store. I beat the criminal. I think the detectives are looking for me for that matter."

    Reina's gaze didn't soften one bit. That young girl snorted in annoyance.

    "Luke, why don't you understand? Did you forget my words? Don't get into trouble! We live in hiding. How can we hide, if you keep attracting attention?"

    "I just wanted to help."

    "Next time, don't do that! If there's a problem, we'd better stay quiet! Don't ever interfere!"

    Luke nodded.

    "I'm sorry," he said simply. However, Reina still felt annoyed. The beautiful-eyed girl was sure that if it happened again, Luca would still do the same thing.  Until now, her brother never hear her words.

***

     Sabrina couldn't stop thinking. Why did the people who helped them catch the robber run away? In fact, she just wanted to say thank you. The human mind is never fully understood. She also could never understand why people would kill others out of hatred or revenge. Slowly, the thin-faced girl took a deep breath.

     Finding her junior partner was daydreaming, Kanaya rushed over while tidying up the clothes she was wearing.

A light tap on her desk made Sabrina startle. The girl immediately shifted her attention from the computer which had only she is staring blankly to the person who was now sitting in front of her.

     "Kanaya? What's wrong?" She asked

     "I'm the one who should be asking you. What's wrong? You opened and read all the files, but your eyes were blank. It looks like your mind isn't here."

    "I'm sorry! I just can't stop thinking about that person."

Kana took a deep breath.

    "You're always like this, if someone bothers you, you can't think of anything else. This time it's got to be about the person who helped catch the serial robber, right?" guess that woman.

    Sabrina nodded.

"How did you know?" she whispered.

    Kanaya took another deep breath.

"I know you very well, Sabrina. If there's something you're curious about, you're bound to keep thinking about it and trying to figure it out."

    "The thing is, I almost meet with that person. To my confusion, he ran away instead."

    "I already told you. Either that person is one of us or indeed he has had problems with us, if hear from your story, the second possibility is much greater. Now don't think about it. Let's just focus on killing Mr. Jaya. The victim of our murder case may not just only him"

***

   Kanaya's guess didn't go wrong. At this time there was an old man with gray-white hair trying to escape in a quiet place. The tall grass and dense trees all around the place make the atmosphere even more gloomy. The full moon was covered with gray clouds as if to signify that something bad was about to happen.

   A black-robed figure followed with light steps. A cruel grin was hidden behind a mask-covered face.

The victim stumbled and fell to the ground.

  "Hello, Pak Mr Harjo, how does it feel to face death?" sighed the hunter who was now right in front of him with a knife drawn in his right hand.

   Without wasting any time, the sharp blade pierced Mr Harjo's body, who was still trying to get up. The stab then stabbed repeatedly throughout the poor man's body.

   Even though he was badly injured, Mr Harjo was still trying to crawl away. The traces of blood flowing from his body soaked the ground where he lay down.

   "You should have give yourself to your fate," the killer hissed in his ear.

    The knife was then raised high and stabbed directly into the victim's heart to end the old man's life.

    The old man's body stretched for a moment, but then stopped moving. The black eyes were still open. He glared as if he couldn't believe his life was over.

    The perpetrator smiled with satisfaction, seeing the victim now dead in his hands.

"You must die, Old Man, because you are a very cruel person. This is the day of vengeance. Oh yes, you won't be lonely because soon, your good friends will follow you to hell," he whispered.
