Out came a golden retriever from the house. Rex. That was Rex. Lance's pet dog.

He was covered in a crimson liquid...

Blood?

As soon as he noticed us, he ran towards our direction waggling his tail. His paws left a red trail of blood...

"Woof woof!"

He made absurd dashes and then circled around the raven haired guy. He licked his feet in delight.

Kevin crouched down to meet the dog's height. He patted his head as the dog sat on his hind limbs.

He moved his hand away just to see it covered with blood.

Lance's blood?

I don't know.

My heart was hammering in my chest. As if, it will come out any instant. I gulped as the dog shifted his gaze towards me. The lump in my throat won't go down...

Rex came forward to my direction and rubbed his head against my leg.

I was frozen. Neither my brain, nor my body felt like processing or taking any actions.

???'S POV

I plopped myself down on the couch, feeling weary. My eyes red and mind racing with different thoughts. It was not a so good idea to keep myself awake the whole night just to do some stupid paperwork. I regret my life decisions now.

I swiped the back of  my hands over my eyes and then kept them shut. One of my leg off the couch, while the other on the armrest.

"Why did i choose this stupid job!" I kept cursing myself.

At the same moment, my mobile rang. That made me explode.

"Hello?" the voice said.

"What do you want?" I said. Not said but hissed. Literally.

The voice cleared its throat.

Recognition sparked in my brain and soon I returned back to my senses.

"Ah, I'm sorry sir. I thought that it was a call from my, uh, brother," I excused myself.
"Miss, you are not doing your job well."
"Huh?"
"Another death has taken place."
"What?"
"Listen to the news."

With that instruction, the call was hanged up.

I kept my phone aside and grabbed hold of the television remote. My fingers immediately tapped the number of the news channel.

"BREAKING NEWS.

Another murder has taken place in the same way, just like the ones happening recently. The victim's body is yet to be identified. To get more information, stay tuned."

I placed my elbow on the coffee table and leaned my head on my hand. What do I do. How do I stop this killer?!

JENNIFER'S POV

The least thing I wanted was happening right now. The dog won't leave me.

"H-he likes you," stuttered Caroline, hoping that her remark would lighten me up.

It didn't help.

I parted my lips, leaving a long exhale out of my mouth. I had to make it calm. The situation. All the crowd's attention was stolen by me.

"Hey R-Rex," I said. "How are you boy?"

"WOOOOF!"

Ignoring my question, the golden retriever turned back and strode off in the opposite direction towards the house.

You did it Jen.

No there wasn't anything to be proud about. The blonde guy is...

I'd rather not say.

CAROLINE'S POV

I bent down one one knee and dipped my index finger into a puddle of the liquid left by Rex.

That sure was blood.

Yet a long awaited update. Not to forget bout the school life *shrugs*.
