IX

Ever since the world discovered that one of the contestants was actually Detective Kathy's long lost twin sister, leaving a house has become one of her hardest things to do. Every time she leaves the house, there are a bunch of journalists waiting for her to get an interview. Luckily, her best friend, Jeff, was always there to give her a ride to the police department. But despite that, there are still journalists that manage to get inside of the Police Department just to get an interview with Detective Kathy. Especially if they've been thrown out of the Police Department, they manage to wait outside until Kathy and Jeff leave the Department, which causes the journalists to quickly run toward them, leaving them no choice but to run to Jeff’s car and drive away as quickly as they can. Until Chief Police decided to put on a live press conference where a bunch of journalists were finally able to ask anything about deadly show related events, including Detective Kathy’s lost twin sister, Katherine.

“Good morning to all of you. I am aware that every one of you is familiar with the on-going deadly show titled "The Reality Show", where everyone competes against each other until someone dies with an exchange of thirty million dollars. " Chef Police stated his opening remark as he was surrounded by a bunch of police officers and an audience of journalists and cameramen. The detectives, Kathy and Jeff, sat behind the Police Chief as they listened carefully to the press conference.

"As of now, two of the contestants have officially died from the contest, leaving only eight remaining contestants. In the previous two weeks, we have been searching for clues about the show in order to rescue them. We also received an update investigation from international, and we will make certain that the remaining contestant trapped in the show is rescued."A bunch of photographers took a few shots of him during that moment.

"Not to mention, one of the famous police detectives, Kathy Jefferson, found out that one of the contestants was actually her lost twin sister, which made the investigation more difficult since a bunch of journalists attempted to break into the Police Department, which caused a delay in the investigation because she was part of it. From now on, whoever disturbs all of her privacy and tries to get an interview will be immediately arrested for three days with a fine of three thousand dollars." Detective Kathy finally breathes in relief as she finally gets some privacy and no longer receives an unexpected visitor.

“Now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask as long as it is related to the topic.”

Suddenly, a group of journalists raise their hands and repeatedly call for his attention. The Chief of Police points to a short woman journalist who immediately asks him a question. “Sir, how's the investigation going?”

"Unfortunately, we always face a dead end and we also theorize that the deadly show has not been held in the Crite State Area. It may be held in another country.”

Next, he points to the guy with a white polo shirt. “If the show was actually held in the Crite State Area and they found their exact location, what’s the next plan?”

“Unfortunately, the next plan was confidential. We avoided leaking our next plan because we were afraid that the host was secretly watching us, especially since it was a live press conference."

Next to the long-haired woman at the back, who seems to be confident enough to ask him a question. “How did you discover that one of the contestants was actually Detective Kathy’s lost twin sister?" Did she mention anything about that? "

There was a couple of seconds of silence before he finally responded to the question. “Katherine Jefferson was once working in the Crite State Police Department as a Detective until last year when she decided to resign the position and we never heard any news from her. She didn’t give a specific reason for her sudden resignation and had no idea where she was until she appeared on the show two weeks ago. Like Detective Kathy, she was also one of the best detectives in the Crite State Area. That’s why Detective Kathy was in charge in this case. Not only that, one of the reasons why I have an interest in that case is because one of the contestants is actually my granddaughter. That’s all for today. " The Chief Police suddenly left the stage while the journalist wanted to ask him. The police announce that the press conference is over, which is the reason why they start leaving the room.

Meanwhile, Jeff suddenly whispers at her. “I didn’t know that one of the contestants was the Chief of Police’s granddaughter. I hope she survives, but your twin is also in there. "

Kathy rolled her eyes. “ I know, but our best thing to do is to continue the investigation in order to save his granddaughter and my twin sister." We will continue investigating the case, especially since today is Thursday, so we still have two days to search for them before the third game starts. "

Jeff nods as they immediately follow the Chief of Police until she meets the younger woman who seems to look like him.

“So how’s the investigation?” She asked.

“Still ongoing.” He responded.

Out of nowhere, she suddenly walked away from him.

“Who is that?” Detective Kathy asked in confusion as they witnessed everything.

“Chief Police’s youngest daughter." Oh yeah, I also heard that her only daughter ran away because of the arranged marriage. " Jeff answered.

“Arranged marriage? Why will he arrange the arranged marriage?She looks so young. "

“I know, she’s sixteen years old, yet they want their daughter to get married to a businessman's son who’s twenty-five years old." The reason? money. That’s why her daughter ran away from her house, and it’s been a year since that happened.

“That’s fucked up.” Kathy said as they walked out of the building and, surprisingly, no journalist came to ask her for an interview.
