November 19 2005

It was late night, The night was dark and quiet, There were slight sounds coming from the outside as an officer was seen walking through the abandoned subway station, The reason he walked into the station was because he thought he found a lead on the serial killer, Gordon and Benjamin have noticed that the killer chooses abandoned places to kill his victims.

The officer wanted to bring a few people with him, but the others were afraid to follow him, Benjamin and Gordon were busy on their tasks, which is why the officer decided to go and investigate alone.

He was holding his flashlight and walked upstairs, looking around the station, He clenched his pistol, staying cautious in case of any sign of danger.

The officer was upstairs and looked around the empty and dark subway, It was ominous and eerie, Even he was feeling a bit uncomfortable, But he knew he had to be fearless and investigate if there was something happening.

Officer: *On Radio* Hey Joey, you hear me?

Joey: *On Radio* What's up, Josh? Did you find anything?

Josh: Nothing, but this place is scaring me. . .

Joey: *Laughs* Come on, don't be a pussycat, Josh.

Josh: Excuse me? Okay, if you were here, you would run out of this place within seconds!

Joey: Calm down, You have a gun.

Josh: A gun? Serial killers lurk on the corners, You dont know when they will strike. . . Just shut up, Joey. You don't know how it would feel, coming to an abandoned subway station alone.

Joey: Just watch your back, buddy. I promise that everything will be okay.

Josh: Pfft, Thanks for that, I guess.

Josh was angry and disconnected the call and flashed the light around the corners, He was feeling nervous and uncomfortable, He just wanted to finish the investigation and return to the police station as soon as he can.

However, as he continued walking, Josh accidentally dropped his gun as he cussed to himself, The sound did startled him as he looked around. . . But he noticed his gun was missing.

Josh: What the?. . Where did it go?

He shivered and felt worried, That was the only thing that made him confident and safe, Josh frantically flashed the light on the ground, looking for his gun, but it was nowhere to be seen. And that scared him, His gun couldn't disappear like that.

Suddenly Josh heard a loud sound which made him jump, His hands began to shake, not knowing what to expect in the darkness, Now he decided that he should just leave the station and inform Gordon about this, Josh tried run away until. . .

He was shot in the leg as Josh began screaming and fell on the ground, He was holding his injured leg in pain, unable to get up or move. He quickly grabbed the flashlight and shined the light in front of him, and that's when he saw a sinister man walking towards him.

Josh's eyes widened as the killer stared with no emotion, but his eyes showed the hint of excitement to murder Josh in his way.

Josh: G-Get away from me. . .

He continued walking closer and slowly pulled out his knife as Josh's eyes were widen, He screamed and begged the killer to let him go as the man said something.

???: My knife hungers. . . And now I will cut your death into my flesh.

Josh's loud scream was heard around the station, and everything faded to black. . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The police were seen standing by the gruesome crime scene at the subway station, The forensics team, including Alex, was talking to Gordon while Benjamin was staring at Josh's corpse, with guilt and sadness, He looked over to the corner and saw Josh's fiance who was crying as McFarland walked towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Benjamin: I'm so sorry, Miss. . .

Girlfriend: *Crying* W-We were supposed to get married next month. . . . Now he's gone!

She cried loudly and hugged Benjamin, McFarland felt hurt and hugged her back, feeling angry at himself as Josh's girlfriend continued sobbing on his chest.

Soon, the other officers escorted her out as Benjamin looked at Joey, who was sitting in shock and silence, Benjamin was also angry at the fact that no one followed Josh to the station.

Benjamin: How could you let him go in alone? Josh was out there without backup, and none of you even thought to check on him!!!

He yelled at the officers, as everyone, including Joey, was silent as Gordon looked at Benjamin and tried to speak to him, but McFarland shouted at the officers again.

Benjamin: This is our responsibility. You don't let someone walk into a place like this by themselves! We're supposed to have each other's backs, and now look what happened! His life is gone and now. . . His fiance has to live the rest of her life in grief and pain!

He spoke with frustration and hurt as the officers looked at the ground with shame, Gordon grabbed Benjamin's shoulder as Ben turned around and looked at him.

Gordon: Ben, listen to me. I know it hurts. . . but blaming yourself, or them, won't bring him back. Josh was one of ours. We'll make sure his sacrifice isn't forgotten.

Benjamin's gaze softened as he sighed to him, Gordon patted his back again and walked away while speaking and comforting Benjamin, Alex was watching them before he looked at Josh's corpse and began thinking to himself, "Who is this serial killer?"

He narrowed his eyes and was lost in his thoughts before he called the rest of the team to carry his corpse.

Jonathan: *Smiles* I'm glad you decided to join me tonight, Anne.

Anne was seen at Dr Crane's office, Her shift was already over but Jonathan wanted to speak to her in his office, Anne smiled at him as he got up from the chair and locked the door as Anne looked a bit confused by his action.

He sat on the chair again as Anne was looking at him while fixing her hair.

Anne: So, you said you wanted to speak to me about something. . . Am I in trouble?

Jonathan: *Chuckles* Not at all, sweetheart. . . I thought we could have a deep conversation together.

Anne: Deep?

Jonathan: I like to dwell in the spaces most people avoid. The parts of the mind that are. . . uncomfortable

Anne: . . . . You mean, Fears?

He smirked and noticed she was a little tense, Jonathan fixed his glasses and touched her hand, comforting her.

Jonathan: Don't worry, Anne. It's just a habit of mine, when i enjoy talking to someone. . . I want to learn every part of them.

Anne took a deep breath and nodded as Crane looked at her and decided to ask the first question.

Jonathan: Tell me, Anne. . . what's your greatest fear?

Her heart skipped a beat as Jonathan was reading her face, Anne gave a nervous smile while speaking to him.

Anne: I. . . I don't know, actually.

Jonathan: You don't know? Or are you just hiding it? Because The things we fear the most. . . are the things we're too afraid to even acknowledge. Wouldn't you agree, Anne?

Anne was silent and felt chills running down her spine, He continued staring at her and waited for her response. However, he also continued holding her hand, making sure she was comfortable as well.

Anne: I guess. . . I'm afraid of being alone. Of being left behind by everyone I care about.

it was the truth, something she hadn't even fully realized until now. Growing up in the countryside, she'd always been isolated, with only her family around. Jonathan tilted his head and nodded.

Jonathan: Ahh. . . loneliness. The one thing that can break a person faster than anything else. It creeps in slowly, quietly, until one day, you wake up and realize. . . you've pushed everyone away without even meaning to.

She shivered a little and looked at the ground as Jonathan began caressing her hand as Anne looked at him.

Jonathan: But you're not alone now, are you, Anne? I'm right here. And you don't need to be afraid of being alone, not as long as I'm around~

His voice was slow and intimate as Anne was looking at him, feeling her heart race.

Jonathan: You said you were afraid of being alone. . . But what if I told you that being with someone could be even more dangerous?

Anne was silent as she continued listening to him.

Jonathan: What if the very person you trust ends up being the one who hurts you the most? Would you still trust them? Would you still let them close, even knowing the risk?

Anne: I. . . I don't know. I don't know if I would do that. . . But the thing is, I trust too easily.

Jonathan: You trust too easily? That's dangerous, You should only give your trust to the person who understands the weight of it. . . someone who could handle it.

He squeezed her hand as Anne was thinking about his words, Jonathan was smiling at her as he continued asking her a few questions, though she hesitated to answer most of them.

About twenty minutes has passed and every question changed the atmosphere of the office, There was a hint of danger and something else that Anne couldn't describe, He was also starting to get way too close with her.

Jonathan: Anne. . . Do you ever wonder what it feels like to get close to someone?

Anne looked at him and shaked her head as Jonathan smirked a little and got up from the chair, He slowly got up and began walking towards her as he touched her chin, Anne looked at him in confusion and surprise.

Jonathan: You don't know what it feels like. . . yet. But you could now. . . With me~

He caressed her chin again as Anne was blushing and slowly got up from the chair and looked at him.

Anne: W-What are you talking about, Dr Crane?

Jonathan: Sweetheart, You know exactly what I want. . .

Anne: I-

Jonathan: I don't need answers from you right now, Anne.

Jonathan: I'll be the one to show you, Anne. . . I'll make you see exactly what it means to need someone. To need me~

She was shocked by what was happening and blushed heavily, He continued smiling at her and caressed her waist, pulling her closer as Anne stared in shock. He slowly took off his glasses and placed it on the table as he continued staring at Anne.

Anne: D-Dr Crane, We should stop this.

Jonathan: Oh no, We haven't got to the best part.

He leaned closer and kissed her cheek as Anne shivered and was trying to process what was happening, There was an allure to her, her innocence, her hesitation, her beauty, and everything else about her.

He slowly pulled her close as Anne was looking at him and tried to speak to him but he stopped her right there.

Jonathan: I need you, Anne. . . I promise I'll be gentle~

Anne shivered again and still hesitated as she continued staring at him while blushing, She never thought she would be in a situation like this.

Anne: I can't do this-

Jonathan: You can, I'll show you.

He slowly turned her around where her back was facing him, He kissed her ear which sent shivers running down her spine as he slowly began unbuttoning her shirt, Her eyes lit up, realising what he was doing but she couldn't stop him for some reason.

Jonathan: I know you want this as well. . .

He smirked and kissed her cheek again as Anne was skeptical but didn't stop him.

Anne: A-Are you sure?

Jonathan: Shhh, Trust me, sweetheart~

He slowly bended her over to the table as Anne was shocked, feeling embarrassed and shy but she stayed in that position as he leaned close, his chest pressing on her back as he looked at her.

Jonathan: You're already mine, Anne. You just don't realize it yet. . . Just let me show you the light~

A/N: Thank you so much for reading and stay strong!!! :)
