BEWARE!The POLICE MAINTAINS SILENCE ON THE MATTER!The headlines of every newspaper screamed the same thing.Things really has got out of hand after Stella's murder.Citizen's faith in us are shaken. Their rage is justified.Sighing,Disappointment can't even begin to explain what i feel inside about the whole thing.For the first time in my life, I am dissatisfied with my work. This feeling really sucks.Stella could have been saved.We'd have saved her only if we hadn't assumed she was safe.That was our fault!We lost an already won battle.Sighing, I placed the newspapers back on the table and moved towards the balcony.I have always enjoyed observing the skies and the twinkling stars for peace but tonight even they made no difference to my heart.Is it me or is the night indeed gloomy tonight?

WHO IS HE? A link
Rose's point of views : It's been two days since I shifted back to this house. Things have been pretty smooth thankfully.Daniel hasn't left the house since then but he has been busy, more busy than ever. I have least seen him in the last two days.He only comes out for food but hardly talks.Knocking on his room's door, When I turned the knob,My mouth fell so fast i wondered why didn't I feel the touch of cold floor.Oh dear god..His room was a mess.There were piles of files on his desk.Pictures of possibly every victim on the walls and paper balls thrown down on the floors. The windows were shut. It was sheer darkness.It did not feel very homely standing here.Nothing like when I used to stay here and more like some secret investigation room.God!This is madness.The dim lights in the room already felt bothering. Finally noticing my presence,"What is it? Are you okay?" He asked in a soft voice, lacing concern.His eyes had bags. He looked like a mess himself, every bit of
WHO IS HE? He is here?
Two days later Rose's point of views :Late evening.Daniel has been out for the entire day today and still isn't home yet.Nothing uncanny has happened in the last few days that really makes me wonder what is the psychopath upto?Did he just give up? But...He wouldn't just give up, right? What is it then?With CCTV cameras in every corner and Lucy being there for me in the house, I wasn't worried for me.The only thought that was bothering me was Daniel's health. He has been over working since the last few days and often been skipping meals.I am grateful for all that he is doing for me and do appreciate his passion for his work and all his efforts too but the way he is neglecting himself in the process is just unacceptable. With a long sigh, Sitting up straight, I took out some magazines from the lower rack to distract myself for the time being when suddenly the TV got switched on, startling me on spot.Taking a moment to come out of the momentary shock, i looked around for the
WHO IS HE? The End?
Rose's point of views :When I fluttered open my eyes,Not very clearly though, but I noticed someone's presence standing at a distance in front of me.I choked on my tears.Just when......The doorbell rang.My breath ceased.Could it be Daniel?"Oh! Looks like the guy on the wheelchair is back, Rose. Wouldn't you welcome your dear husband? Come out sweetheart" I heard the creepy voice saying.My heart was thumping in my chest.Sweat pearls were dripping down my face. I could feel my breathing getting heavier.When Suddenly,The lights were switched on. The brimming brightness made me completely blind for seconds.When I opened my eyes, the figure I saw some time ago at a distance was gone now.He was nowhere to be seen.That made me even more anxious on my spot.I cannot stay hidden here now The second doorbell sound startled me.Who could it be?Is it a trap?I heard the door opening then."ROSE"It was Daniel's voice.He is home.I could hear the scrambling noise of Daniel's whe
WHO IS HE? Shot?
Daniel's point of views :So, I was right about this bastard.He is the murderer, the beast! I tried my best to control the rage that was evoking like a lava within me. I didn't want to take any reckless move. Hence, gritting my teeth, I just stared back at him. His eyes were now holding my Rose captive. My gaze was fixed on him, keenly observing his every move while simultaneously, they were also on my wheelchair that lay ahead of me. I was just waiting for the right opportunity.He started taking closer steps towards Rose and just when he walked ahead of my wheelchair, that was it! That was the moment I was waiting for.I kicked the wheelchair making it hit him straight. He stumbled down and his gun fell down somewhere across the room.Immediately, standing up on my feet."This is how the tables turn," I said pointing my own gun towards him.Clearly, he was bewildered watching me standing in front of him as his End."You Rasc*l!" He cursed out loud but before he could attack me ba
WHO IS HE? Hospital
Rose's point of views :It must have been about seven in the morning. I couldn't tell.I had been here for so long that it was hard to tell and when I looked back through the hours, it blended into each other like paint on the marble floor.Daniel was taken straight to the operation theatre after we had reached the hospital last night.Doctors have said they are trying their best.I am too emotional to feel tired right now. Just sitting right outside the operation theatre hoping for some miracle to happen.Flashes of Daniel lying motionless in my arms kept coming back to me.My palm balled into a fist.I couldn't help blaming myself for whatever happened to him. If only I had done something, he wouldn't have been in such a condition now.But I was just too petrified back then."You should leave. I'll be here" Lucy's voice got me out of my thoughts."No! I cannot leave him. I want to stay" I replied back."You need rest," she said."I am too restless to rest" I argued back."Please don

ONE WEEK LATER,Rose's point of views :THE MENACING MURDERER FINALLY ARRESTED.Every article of every newspaper only appraised how the special team not just finally managed to break the chain of murders by putting the psychopath behind the bars but also how in the process they brilliantly connected the dots and solved the other bigger case, that is of organ trafficking.The link which Daniel was talking about was none other than the town's hospital in which illegal practice of organ selling was being done for almost a year.The team never suspected it until Daniel who brought it to their notice and got the hospital in the limelight.Apparently, the doctor involved in the malicious practice had treated me and all the other previous victims too. In the process, they got all the crucial information they needed about us and that is how they chose us as the targets. After every murder the body was always being sent to the same hospital and that was noticed by Daniel. They kept a keen eye o
WHO IS HE? After a leap
One Year later,Rose's point of views :The freezing weather of California challenged me enough today. As I walked through the lonely corridor, I could feel the exhaustion of the day taking a toll on me again tonight.Every night is kind of a similar night for me.Inserting the key and turning the knob, I was instantly welcomed by the warmness of my rented apartment.That felt good for a moment. Just for a moment.Walking inside, I looked towards the fridge. There might be a leftover pizza in there i thought. But i felt too tired to even heat that up.Hence, I going straight to my bedroom and i felt better just lying down for some time.A soft sigh eluded my lips,Time flies!It's been a year since I moved to California after college and since then nothing has been the same.I lost my mom to cardiac arrest last year.A lot many things changed.New city, new job, I am a therapist now. Everything did change over the years except one thing.Sighing again, I stood up to the drawer nex
