Serious Guy's Next Victim

Mc Ivan's POV

“Woah! Really? Kissa said yes to you? Is she insane?” John said, teasing me again.

“Want to die?” I said while acting to punch him.

But it still didn't hide the happiness inside me.

I'm happy that, finally, Kissa is my girlfriend.

“What's wrong with our Mc Ivan? He is more handsome than you.” Mica said, laughing.

“Wah, Mica, you don't have a taste!” John answered.

“If it's you, then I really don't have any taste.” Mica even gets her tongue out to tease John.

“Hey, stop that or you guys will end up together!” Maine teased them both.

“Yuck!” They both said in chorus.

Maine and I laughed at them.

“So, when is the wedding of the year?” Maine asked smiling.

“We didn't talk about that yet, we're just in a 2 day relationship, so we're taking it slowly.” I replied.

“Ah, so she said yes during Neil's party? Did Neil approve it?” Maine asked.

I nodded.

“Yeap. I already talked to him that night.” I answered while smiling at them.

We really did talk.

And to whatever we talked about? It's between us only. Man to man.

“How lucky! Come on, let's go home, it's already 10pm.” Maine said.

We all agreed as we all got our things and prepared to go.

“Guys! Guys!” We all looked at our patrol officer—Llegonas as he was rushing towards us.

“Hey, what? Don't tell us another dead body was found.” John said jokingly.

“How did you know?” We all stand up as Llegonas answered it.

“S-So it really is?” Maine said in a stuttering voice.

“Yes, it was a young boy who lives near here. As Totskie reported, it is the son of Ms. Rubi.” He said.

I dropped the glass in my hand as I heard the news.

“Are you joking man? You better stop joking like that.” John told Llegonas.

“This isn't a nice joke, Llegonas.” Maine also said.

While I can't find the right words to say.

“No! Why would I joke something like that?! If you—

Llegonas didn't finish what he was about to say as I ran faster.

My heart was beating fast as I ran to the crime scene.

No, no this is not happening.

Not Neil.

Not the love of my love.

There were a bunch of people already when I arrived.

Even the forensic inspectors are already here.

But I don't care about them.

I care about Kissa, as I saw her trying to come near Neil's dead body.

“N-Neil, Neil! He's my son! P-Please let me come to him!” She was crying as she asked them a favor.

I immediately ran to her and held her shoulder.

She cried even more when she saw me.

“I-Ivan, Ivan m-my baby.” She whispered as she cried.

I caressed her back.

“The body is still under investigation, we can't let her near him, sir.” My co-officer Castino told me.

I nodded to him and signalled to him that I can manage Kissa and that she can continue the investigation.

I understand the situation, since I am an officer too.

I was trying to calm Kissa when my eyes caught the paper Neil's holding.

I clenched my jaw because it's very familiar to me.

We're not that far from the crime scene, and so I can still read the note…

“Don't laugh”

How? How can someone do this to a child?

Neil is a very innocent kid.

Why would someone do this to him?
