I'm the serial killer's next target Owen (Part 3)
Nobody moved for several seconds as Quinn walked toward the bookshelf, her attention fixed on the white envelope resting beneath the trophy. She was certain it hadn't been there when they first arrived, and judging by the expressions around the room, everyone else had reached the same conclusion."Did anyone leave the room?" she asked without taking her eyes off it.Ethan shook his head. "Not since dinner."Elena looked equally confused. "I've had that trophy on the shelf for years, but I've never seen an envelope under it."Damian stepped beside Quinn before either of them touched it. "Whoever left this wanted us to notice it, but only after we finished talking about Owen."Quinn slipped on a pair of gloves from her jacket pocket and carefully picked it up. There was no address, no stamp, and no handwriting on the outside. The envelope felt unusually light, as though it contained only a single sheet of paper.She slowly opened it.Inside was a small folded note.Nothing else.Quinn u

Quinn took the graduation program from his hands and looked at the scratched-out name again, this time paying less attention to the missing letters and more to what Damian had just said. "How can you tell?""The ink tells the story," Damian replied as he pointed to the page. "The list was written first. Then someone tried to erase the fifth name before the paper had time to age naturally. The scratches have faded differently from the rest of the writing."Adrian stared at the document as though he had never truly examined it before. "So whoever removed that name knew the graduation hadn't even started yet.""And they already wanted that person erased," Quinn finished.A heavy silence settled over the room.Elena slowly lowered herself into her chair. "That means whatever happened that night didn't begin after the ceremony.""No," Damian agreed. "It had already started."Quinn looked toward Adrian again. "Who had access to these programs before graduation?""The student council," Adria
I'm the serial killer's next target Owen Mercer (Part 1)
The dining room fell completely silent after Adrian knocked his chair onto the floor. Nobody rushed to pick it up because every pair of eyes remained fixed on him as he stared at the faded graduation program, his breathing suddenly uneven."Owen Mercer..." Adrian repeated quietly, almost as though he were saying the name for the first time in years.Quinn stepped forward before anyone else could react and pulled the paper closer. "You know him well, don't you?"Adrian dragged a hand over his face before lowering himself back into his chair, looking as though the strength had drained from his body. "I knew him," he corrected softly. "Or... I thought I did."Damian leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table as he studied Adrian rather than the document. "Start from the beginning."Adrian nodded faintly before speaking. "Owen transferred into our school during the final semester. Nobody knew much about him except that his father kept relocating for work. He stayed quiet, sat at th
I'm the serial killer's next target Maya (Part 2)
The room remained quiet after Maya's question."Why is his face missing?"Quinn looked at her for a long moment, searching for even the slightest hint that the question had been calculated, but all she found was confusion. Maya wasn't reacting like someone who had accidentally revealed the killer's identity or stumbled onto a hidden secret. She looked genuinely puzzled, as though the answer should have been obvious to everyone sitting around the table.Damian quietly pulled out a chair and sat across from her, his attention no longer fixed on the old photograph. Instead, he studied Maya with the same quiet intensity he reserved for crime scenes, watching every hesitation, every glance, every unconscious movement that might reveal more than her words."You know who was standing there," he said.Maya frowned."Of course I do."The simple answer seemed to drain the warmth from the room. For days Quinn had been chasing half-truths and forgotten memories, collecting fragments that refused
I'm the serial killer's next target Maya
The apartment seemed to hold its breath.Nobody spoke after Adrian's words. Quinn could hear the faint hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen, the distant sound of rainwater dripping from the balcony railing, and her own pulse beating steadily in her ears.The woman outside shifted slightly."Hello?" she called again, sounding uncertain now. "I really don't want to keep knocking if I've got the wrong place."Adrian remained frozen. Quinn had seen witnesses panic before. She had seen suspects panic. She had even seen hardened detectives panic.This was different, this looked like someone confronting a ghost. Damian noticed it too. His gaze stayed fixed on Adrian while his body subtly positioned itself closer to Quinn, a habit he seemed to have developed without realizing it."You're sure?" Quinn asked quietly."I'd know that voice anywhere." Adrian muttered.The answer did not make Quinn feel better.Because according to everything Adrian had told them, the girl from graduation night w
I'm the serial killer's next target Adrian's Flashback (Part 3)
"What if that's the person who moved the body?"Nobody spoke for several seconds... The question seemed to settle over the room like a storm cloud. Quinn looked down at the photograph again: The torn corner, the missing face and the one person nobody could identify.The one person somehow connected to Victor, Adrian, Mark, and apparently a body that had vanished into thin air."That's impossible," Ethan said finally.Adrian looked at him."Why?""Because you're talking about one person moving a body during a storm while dozens of students were nearby.""Nobody was nearby," Adrian replied immediately. "The power outage sent everyone inside."Damian crossed his arms."Actually, that's the first thing tonight that makes sense." Everyone looked toward him.Damian walked over to the photograph and picked it up carefully. "If somebody wanted to hide a death, a power outage would be the perfect opportunity."He pointed toward the torn section. "And whoever removed this face knew exactly what
I'm the serial killer's next target Rahul
“I told her.” Rhea’s voice cut cleanly through the silence.“She called me this morning,” Rhea explained quietly, glancing toward Selena. “She was panicking and asking where Arjun was. I figured she deserved to know.”Selena nodded weakly beside the patrol car, still visibly shaken. I told Arjun's
I'm the serial killer's next target Selena
The morning air felt heavier than it should have.Quinn barely remembered getting dressed. One second she had been lying in bed beside Damian, still caught in the warmth of his arms and the unfamiliar comfort of not waking up alone, and the next she was standing in front of the bathroom mirror tryi
I'm the serial killer's next target Arjun
Rhea had just finished speaking, her words still hanging in the space between them, heavy and impossible to ignore.“They all went to the same school,” she said, her gaze steady on Quinn. “Same senior batch. And we were right there, just a few years behind.”Quinn leaned back slightly, her fingers
I'm the serial killer's next target Quinn
Quinn pushed open her apartment door, Jax right behind her. His hands were already on her hips, pulling her close as the door clicked shut. She kicked off her shoes and turned, lips crashing into his.They stumbled toward the bedroom, her shirt hit the floor first, then his and fell onto the bed, h
