Mom is Dead

Austin's POV Quianna received another message, why does it have to be now? The cases kept on piling up, but the culprits and suspects are still out there, free, and unknown by the police. After the dispatch happened during the terror attack, the person who's seen at the CCTV was discovered to be a corpse and now the whole force is being pressured by the media, they said that the police became soft on catching criminals that is why we are letting them free, all craps they are saying. After she called me, I immediately run out of the station and get in the car, I put the address on the map and it's somewhat far from here. I put my seatbelt on and stepped on the accelerator hard. I hope she's still doing okay despite of being pressured and worried about her mother, she should not loss another person especially if were dealing in some supernatural phenomena like this. *Phone calls* "Sir! How could just leave us here?" Jason said as soon as I answered the call. "I'll send you the address, go here when I signaled you." I said then ended the call. I increased my driving speed but looks like fate continue to hinder. Traffic jam suddenly happened, and the news said that there's a car accident happened just before the end of highway. I can't believe this! Even if I put my siren on, I don't think I can pass through the accident immediately. But I think I should still try it out and went out through another road, I put the siren on, and I saw the cars began to give my way out in this whole traffic jam. I turned right and started driving to a longcut road towards my destination. I just hope that nothing bad really happened to her mother. After an hour of driving, I reached their home. From the outside it looks huge and full of decorating plants, maybe a huge garden would fit a description for it. I parked the car and approached the huge gate they have; they are really rich, anyone could say that. "Mom!!!" I heard her loud voice coming inside their house, I can say that because of adrenaline and job instincts, I immediately run towards their home and enter it without any permission. As soon as I entered the house, I stopped running as I saw Quianna sitting on the bloody floor holding something but invisible to me. She's crying out loud and screaming her mom's. "Quianna…" I called her silently. "M-mom's dead." She said between her tears. "How? Where is your mom?" I asked immediately. "I don't know, I saw how she was killed but her corpse disappears." She explained. "How could that be?" I said then sat beside her to give her a shoulder to lean on. She hugged me while still crying as I pat her shoulder, a small way to comfort her. "We can solve this, Quianna." I said to her. "Austin, I saw how that man stabbed her many times, but I cannot do anything. I am scared that he will come at me and kill me too. I feel disgusted to myself, I cannot save mom!" she continuously said while still crying. "Shh, I can't do anything either if I was on your shoes. We can just catch them." I said to her, and she started wiping her tears. "Right, I needed to be strong in times like this. I should not fear them, they suddenly kept on vanishing? I can just chase them until the end of the planet." She said and suddenly stood up. "Austin." She called me and I just looked at her, she seemed very determine in it. "Nothing happened here." She said and looked at me intently. "What are you planning to do?" I asked to her and stood up also. I saw her going to their kitchen and getting some cleaning agents, the map, bleach and even rugs to wipe everything. Then she began to clean the blood on the floor. I grabbed the map to her, and she just tried to get it back from me. "What are you doing? You are messing with the crime scene!" I yelled to her and held her hands to stop grabbing those things. "Crime? There's no crime happened here. There's no body, right? There's no suspect, who are you going to accuse? Me?" she said continuously like a mad woman. "You're insane!" I said to her. "Yes, I am! I witnessed my mom's death but now I will try to erase it from my memories! Mom is not yet dead, her corpse is missing like dad's!" she yelled back at me. "You can't just cover this scene up!" I said to her, and she became silent. "What would you do if you were me?" she asked silently, and I can't answer her right away. "We can't solve this case if we were both sane, at least one of us should be mad for us to solve this." She calmly said to me. "But!—" "If you don't want to be involved, you can leave me alone." She said and started cleaning the blood again. I became frozen, I don't know what to say, I don't know what to think. A flashback suddenly went into my mind, the day when a woman told me to convince her to be partner with me. I just noticed that her voice was the same with Quianna but more desperate, she told me to catch someone and convince Quianna more than I should be. I don't know if my body has its own mind, but I just start helping Quianna from cleaning everything. I saw she looks at me, but I just continue doing it without saying anything. Maybe she's right, we cannot solve this if we were looking at it realistically, that man who should be dead attempted to kill Dylan that day on terror attack, but Quianna just changed it and challenged the fate. Now, she cannot escape from it, the fate keeps on playing games with her. "Have you decided to be my accomplice?" she asked me to break the silence. "No, I just decided to solve this case." I answered and started pouring the bleach on to the floor. "Isn't it the same thing?" she asked while staring at me. "No, it's not. I did not do this just to become a criminal. I am doing this to catch them." I answered and looked at her. "You see, I am now also insane." I said and finishing it up. After minutes passed by, we looked at the place and it's shining clean. We leave the house like nothing happened and get in my car. I looked at my phone and I saw Jason's missed calls totaling to 20 and there were other text messages from him. I grabbed my phone and texted him that he does not need to come anymore, nothing bad happened. Quianna's POV Austin started driving the car out of the village where our house is and both of us still not saying anything. For my case, I have nothing to say as I am the one who got him involved in this crime of mine. I know this is not right but how could I say that I witnessed my mother's death and her corpse vanished together with the killer? That's insane, maybe the police will decide to put me in a mental hospital before I actually solve this whole case. But I am not sure that the killer is not acting alone, they are huge organization, and I should start from out hospital, as what I've heard from them. Flashback… I arrived at the house and looks at it very suspicious. I can see that the small gate is opened but the front door is locked. We've been trespassed and I did not hear any noise inside, so I entered from the back door, from the kitchen I saw that mom is talking to some guy. She looks like she knows it, but I can see how frightened she is in case that guy would do bad to her. "Where's Nick?" the guy said to mom. "Nick? My husband is dead!" mom yelled at her. "Dead? Your husband is not dead, maybe you're just hiding him from us." The guy said to mom and approached her slowly. "Hiding from who? I don't know any of you." Mom answered while still shivering in fear. "Nonsense. You know us, Rebirth Organization, where your husband is the lead scientist in the hospital of yours." The guy said and I saw mom became shocked. Me as well was shocked of what I've heard, what is that organization? "I don't know any of that!" mom yelled. "Really? What a shame. You did not know that your husband achieved a huge discovery in the field of medicine." He said and sat on the couch. "What do you mean?" "If you don't know than you're useless to us. If you don't know where's Nick who knows how to complete the formula, then you should be dead." The guy said and pointed a dagger to mom. "Please don't kill me." mom said while pleading on her knees. "No, you should be saying 'please let me go in peace'." The guy said and started stabbing mom in her vital points. I can see that as his final blow is at mom's heart. After witnessing that gruesome crime, I can't help but screamed until my voice will fade. He stopped stabbing mom and saw me through the eye. I stood up even though my legs became numb and run towards her, but before I hold her corpse, they both vanished leaving the traces of bloody crime he committed. I just sat on the blood on the floor and start wailing, now I don't think I can be still sane after this happening. ---
