New Hope

They say life is half spent before you know what it is...

Everyone joined me in cafe in few moments, I told everyone what happened.



"Ahhh it's so confusing! What the hell he is trying to prove!?" Ethan's voice boomed in cafe.



"You are asking like we know, cool down, no use in getting frustrated." Grace said in calm voice.



"But really, what is he trying to prove? I can't understand his intention." I said as I pressured my mind to think on various points. "Come on let's go to room it's not safe to discuss futher things here." I got up and paid the bill getting out of cafe. I felt the cold air touching my face, I shivered, suddenly feeling refreshed, but somehow I felt someone was looking at me... Like keeping a watch. I looked around, but no one was there.



Suddenly one hand rested on my shoulder, I snapped out of my thought gasping. "What happened? You ok?" Alex asked.



I nodded and we started to walk towards room, but still I was feeling someone's eyes on me. I knew something was going to happen.. Something bad.



We got in room and I stood in front of the notice board. I rip off the other notes on it, placing new notes.





"So this is our board, this is for short time, but we need it." I said as I look at it.



"Ok, but I guess we going to need one more board hehehe." Lily giggled.



I looked back at her and smiled a little. "No need, I'll manage somehow. But the question is that, there is a link to thos all murders. We need to find the right link before one more muder happens. By all this messages, by my view there is a thing happened in past. Cause a serial killer never leaves this kind of hints, it is a clear thing that this is all about revenge."



I stared at the board and took a paper laying on my desk and started to write all the letters I got on it. After a time I got all sorted and put it on the table, turning the lamp above my head and the bright white light scattered on table making the room brighter.



Everyone made a circle around the table and started to peek in what I have wrote on the paper.



"This is not taking us anywhere.. This is making my head spin." Ethan said after staring at it long time. I handed him a water bottle which he gulped down in seconds.



"Same for me." We all said in chorus and laughed at that a little.



"Laughing is all good, but this sounds really serious. What can we do Loveena? Do you think announcing that don't open door for strangers is good thing? By my view, if do this it'll be hard for him to get his next victim." Oliver said with a hopeful voice. It was good idea in my eyes too, but again a doubt popped up.



"This is a good idea, but again we don't know what he tells to the victim so they open the door. They even serve him water, so basically this all victims till date knows who this person was. We can't announce that." I said and looked at Oliver just to watch his face fall down. I smiled a little and patted his shoulder.



"You are right Loveena. By my study till now he surely uses his identity to hunt all the people down. But again the question is why all this people who are related to each other in a way are here in our town?" Grace said, she had many questions. I was near to pull my hair out but controlled myself and suddenly.



"Ring... Ring... Ring.." Oliver's phone ranged and startled us all, we all looked at Oliver he apologized and walked away towards the widow smiling and talking on the phone. It was really very surprising cause when we are in middle of discussion he never did that.



Everything and everyone are doubted, under the eye of police and every step is watched. Don't know if I'll be able to solve this case before one more murder happen.
