He believed that she was an innocent person from the start! Never suspected that she would do such a thing. Now he can't do anything. The cops are already on their way! (more…)...

THE BLACK CAPE

THE BLACK CAPE In the past few days... "Told you, I don't know.", Shiraz spat angrily. His face was a mixture of rage and arrogance. He had been called for inquiry several times during the past few days. The police had three main suspects - Shiraz, hooded man, and Charlie. Although, it was unlikely that Charlie would've killed Rick because even after analyzing that hypothetical situation, they couldn't find a reason wherein Charlie would benefit from Rick's death. But they hadn't ruled off Charlie yet. The police had no leads on the man in the black cape. This was the first instance in the peaceful town of Cambridge that someone was murdered. There were a lot of questions raised by the people. The Mayor, Mr. Adler, had handled the situation well by holding a community gathering and addressing the issue there, by assuring the people that the security in the town would be increased. But the media had obviously raised Adler's chances of being...

The auburn sky was an ocean of clouds, seemingly painted by the brush of a Renaissance painter. The sun was about to dive beyond the horizon, casting our shadows far behind us and a piercing shriek broke the silence around us. We were startled by the sheer agony in the scream. It seemed to have come from the thick woods in front of us. We ran towards the source and found a man covered in blood. Ariana panicked and started trembling with fear. I went a little closer.

Don't know what's happening? Read these: Guilty as charged. (Part 1) Guilty as charged.(Part 2) Guilty as charged.(Part 3) Zelia is leaning on her seat. Heinz has stopped pacing the room, his friend has become the point of their attention. 'What is the lead, Anne?' He blurts impatiently. Roxanne Ariosto, a dignified officer, has a lump in her throat for the first time. She knew this had to be done one day, and the day has already gone. It's time for everyone to read the evidence, Heinz has to be the first, though. In her official tone she says, 'I found this evidence. It was in my mailbox. I'm going to disclose it & close the case once and for all. But I know you've the right to know.' She produces the letter neatly folded in her handbag covered in the EVIDENCE bag and hands it over to Heinz. 'Now I need to go on an assignment. See you soon, Diablo. I'll be back to take the evidence.' She gives Heinz...

Don't know what's happening in this part? Read these: Guilty as charged. (Part 1) Guilty as charged.(Part 2) Guilty as charged.(Part 3) Guilty as charged.(The Final Part) There is silence. Dr. Zelia Zhang is stupefied, but not completely. She's analyzing Heinz Schofield, a man who's been in solitude for quite a long time. A psychopath, she thinks. But he's right, he cannot be able to do it on his own. No, Zel, no! If he's a murderer of three then you know better than believing him. She's inclining on sentencing him as a psycho and leave, that's not going to be an easy task, she knows. Why did I tell her about hacking in police database. She won't believe me, never. That's what I always do, push people away who try to help me. There's her secret with me, though. Of course, I can't tell Dr. Zhang who's giving me, a civilian, inside information. Heinz is blankly staring Zelia, her cat-like sharp eyes are penetrating him. Peeping...

Don't know what's happening in this part? Read these: Guilty as charged. (Part 1) Guilty as charged.(Part 2) Guilty as charged.(Part 3) Guilty as charged.(The Final Part) His words make me recoil. I hold back the urge to panic. The man who I was sent to have a session with, by his parents since he has cancelled all the appointments they made with me, previously, seemed only a shy introvert, now a murderer? 'So you couldn't get your revenge?' I ask keeping my tone even, an unfazed smile stuck on my face. 'Oh yes, of course I did.' He's laughing, like he knows something that I don't. 'But didn't he jump off the building?' 'That he did, but that doesn't mean I didn't have my revenge.' He sits at my feet, his hands on my knees. 'Dr. Zhang, you're doing something that's changing me. Why didn't you meet me before all this happened.' A tear runs down his cheek, he makes no effort to hide it. 'Before what happened, Diablo?' 'Before...

"Not even travelled through a plane you say?" "Sir no, sir." "This is gonna be fun." Then Kane turned his back & everyone laughed. ** 'That's where it started?' She asks me. The noise of her pen running against the paper is audible even when she's across the room, sitting in front of me. There's a scar on her index finger, probably a burn. By the look of it, one can wager it is old- Yes, a good decade or so. 'Are you with me, Mr. Heinz?' The name makes me recoil. 'Call me Diablo, please. I hate those 5 letters together. H-E-I-N-Z!' It's rude! No, I should apologize. 'Sorry.' I whisper & chew on the dead skin near my nail. 'It's okay, Diablo. Let this be. I'm bored, you want to play?' She points her gaze towards...
