The Taste Of Blood

5

A woman came from the direction

stairs with limping steps. The tip of his heels is somewhat blackened because it is too long to walk using heels.

His feet really hurt. And now he was standing right at the door of his house. Knock on the door slowly but there is no answer.

The beats tighten up second by second. His bell even he sounded but he never found the answer of his struggle.

He looked at the door with an angry face.

Is this house abandoned?

Is the person who lives here not breathing anymore?

Strange thoughts continued to eat away at his mind. He knocked on the door again, this time louder.

It gets harder and harder enough to make the body lose control and become emotional.

Until finally, he realized there was a pupil staring back from the inside and terbesitlah this idea.

"I see you" he said slowly.

"I hear you" he continued back.

Slowly the door of the house opened with a little width featuring a man and a woman staring at him in disbelief.

The woman smiled clumsily and scratched the back of her neck that was not itchy, she tried to smile as wide as possible.

"So, no hugs?" Ask later.

Eliana Elliot is the older sister of Marco Elliot, which means she is a cousin of Jocelyn herself.

Jocelyn who had felt stiff at that instant was also unable to speak to make him faint.

"You***scared me to death" Jocelyn said before she was unconscious.

...****************...

Two weeks have passed since the arrival of Jocelyn and the Richards to Manhattan for a vacation with the Elliot family.

Actually during that period of time, Jocelyn felt always followed wherever she went.

He planned to report this to his family or even to the police, but his feelings said nothing good would happen if he reported.

Later that afternoon, he and his family plan to return to Brooklyn, well considering that soon he also has to return to campus.

But everything happened so quickly, this morning Marco uncle's son was found suicidal in an apartment not far from this condo.

Marco was found dead by hanging himself and shooting at his head with a silencer-equipped pistol.

However, when the police checked his phone no evidence could be found. And this is a strange thing that can threaten anyone's life.

This killer could remove all traces of him and even make the police think that all of this was pure suicide instead of murder.

The whole family is saddened by this incident, including Jocelyn. He still can't believe Marco will leave everything so soon.

After the funeral was over, Jocelyn and the Richards returned to Brooklyn. In fact, Thomas did not want to leave his brother who was grieving the loss of his son.

But suddenly, the campus contacted Thomas and told him to return to campus as soon as possible.

And in the end the Richards really left Manhattan. Leaving behind the mystery of Marco's death that continues to cause question marks especially in Jocelyn's mind.

"I have to find the killer" Jocelyn said inwardly with a strong will and determination.

He was sure this was not the death Marco wanted. There is a lot of evidence that leads the case to premeditated murder.

But it seems, the police prefer to close their eyes and it increasingly makes Jocelyn convinced that this is fully planned.

Jocelyn exhaled slowly as she flipped through the sheets of the book she was reading. Today he started working again on campus.

As of today, it has been exactly 4 days since the terrible incident occurred in the Elliot family and also the police have closed the case.

The local police office has determined that this is a case of suicide with the cause of victims often experiencing bullying at work.

The victim can not tolerate the act of bullying that he experienced so that the victim eventually experienced depression and cause hallucinations.

Four office employees at Marco's place of work who were accused of being bullies have now testified and confessed.

At least that's the explanation given by the police to Elliot's family before finally ending the case because it was considered finished.

And now, this is where Jocelyn is, trying to research every possibility that the police might have missed during the investigation.

But with only the capital of paper and pen alone will not produce results, at least that's what Jocelyn thought.

He plans to return to Manhattan and will rent an apartment to live in while he is there.

He will also find a job and try to settle there while solving this murder case.

Of course behind this brilliant idea he had to solve one more big problem.

A problem that will be an obstacle to all his plans if he does not complete.

Because he has become a final-level student he must be able to graduate within this year if he wants to live in Manhattan.

The last graduation this year will be held in two months.

And in that period of time he had to solve everything to start being able to investigate everything.
