Code 810: Corpse On The Hill

Chapters 14. Hilda is in shock

The two detectives drove the vehicle they were riding in to return to the office where the receptionist was working.

After parking the car, they headed back to the lobby and checked the reception. But when they got there, the receptionist was no longer in his original position and was replaced by someone else.

“Your partner who was here, where is it now?“ detective Keiko asked the other receptionist who had been sitting in her seat since then, when she reached the reception desk.

“Hilda, you mean?“ ask the receptionist.

“Iya true. Hilda, where is she now?“ ask detective Keiko.

“Hour work just finished a few minutes ago. Maybe now he is in the dressing room to prepare for home.“

“So, where is your dressing room?“ ask detective Egan to interrupt.

“The spare space is on the back there, sir.“ The receptionist pointed to the dressing room at the back of the reception room where he was on duty, but it was quite far away.

“Only women can enter the pack,” added the receptionist upon seeing detective Egan also step up following detective Keiko right behind.

“Good then. I will wait outside the locker room and promise not to come inside, ” replied detective Egan who is still continuing his footsteps following his partner, detective Keiko.

Detectives Egan and Keiko stopped their steps when they were right in front of a bright yellow door with the caption of the upper female dressing room.

Detective Keiko put her hand on the door handle and almost opened the door but there was a sound of someone from inside the room talking.

“Better if you do not need to find him,” sounds male voice although not too loud but still sound clear.

“But she's my friend,” heard Hilda's voice this time just as slow.

“Why is that? Why should I let him go?“ ask Hilda curious.

“I heard he is no longer alive,” said the voice again.

“Lies, you must be lying,” this time Hilda's voice was clearly heard vibrating even though she did not raise the volume of her voice at all.

Then then came the cry of Hilda began to explode even though her voice still did not sound strong. Detective Keiko opens the door to the room and finds Hilda still crying in front of the locker that says Tania's name. But when detective Keiko entered the room, she saw no one but Hilda who was seen covering her face with both hands.

“So who is here?“ ask detective Keiko.

But found the question, instead of answering but Hilda was crying louder. Detective Keiko hugged Hilda trying to calm her down.

“Is it true that Tania is dead?“ Hilda asked while trying to control herself.

“Iya. We found her body a few days ago on a hill,” Detective Keiko replied without taking off her arms from Hilda.

Hilda heard the answer from detective Keiko as if she lost all her strength and was sitting drowning in the embrace of detective Keiko.

After Hilda calms down, detective Keiko tries to convince Hilda to help the police to catch Tania's killer.

“Let's get out. We meet my partner outside and we talk about Tania,”, detective Keiko said.

Hilda complies with detective Keiko's request and gathers her powers to stand with the help of detective Keiko
