Chapter 2

- there's no need for that. you're saying that as if you're gonna find anything different there. _ Vincent said, still with hatred towards percy.

- still, I need to see everything with my own eyes.

Vincent looked up and down at him, sigjed and then got up from his desk. he grabbed his coat and said:

- alright. let's go then. hurry.

percy followed him behind. they were now outside. Vincent was going first while percy was following him behind.

-are we going to get there by foot? so we're not going to catch a bus or anything?

- what? you lazy bitch. hurry up. my apologies that I couldn't get private driver for our Mr percy Hawk.

- fucking bitch. just walk.

it took them only about 15 minutes to get there. Vincent stopped in front of the store.

- go ahead. I'll wait here.

percy began to look around the store. just the outside, in the areas where the cameras were. there didn't seem to be anything strange. he stopped in front of one camera for a while, as he looked up at it.

Percy now decided to check inside. inside there was empty counter. blood stains, empty shelves.

- are we able to check the cameras?

- go to the security room. I'm allowed to check it anytime I want so go ahead.

Percy went to check the cameras. it was just as Vincent said. there were no footages of that day. they seemed to be deleted since the cameras were showing way earlier footages. maybe the cables weren't cut off, those footages were just deleted.

Percy didn't even notice Vincent when he entered the security room. he jumped when Vincent spoke.

- its not as if you're gonna find anything different.

- well actually, I think I know. the cables weren't cut off. cameras are still functioning and they're also showing earlier footages. in this case, they have been deleted.

- but there's still a chance that the light in here was cut off and the cameras just didn't got to catch it. we have to consider that too.

He room was silent for few minutes.

- I need to see the security guy. the one who sits here and watches all the cameras.

Percy said as Vincent followed with a sigh:

- so you're trying to consider as if those footages were deleted?

- I want to start over everything and for us to consider everything. now, where can we find the...camera guy?

- security and well we already know his identity. according to his testimony, he was asleep by that time which made him more of a suspect but after getting know to his medical report (which was not necessary but did it out of curiosity) he does have some problems with that sleeping. so let's say he does have an alibi.

- I see. that's actually not enough information to clear his name. we still need to get him on suspect list. also, how many suspects do we have?

- janitor, one customer who was in the store while everything happened, a guy from the bookstore next to this store and now security man.

- I see. we need to get them interrogated again. I'm done here. let's just head back to office and go over all of them once more. we'll need to call them in the office once more.
