Chapter 213: Horror
"This is... very odd."
Elias Kramer sat in a small, dimly lit office tucked away inside the city police headquarters, still trying to process what he had just heard and seen. The shock hadn’t worn off, not from the entire discussions, and certainly not from the implications. But strangely enough, it wasn’t just his shock that filled the room. There was someone else, perhaps even more rattled than he was. The two detectives who had thought and firmly believed that this entire case was clear as water... Yeah right! It was as clear as sewage water!
They had combed through hours of surveillance footage, specifically tracking any sign of Adam’s body or even this woman called Myra who seemed to have taken away Saira...But nothing... not a trace. No entry. No exit. No movement. It was as if the body had never been there in the first place. It could be seen that he was taken away from the ICU but then, he seemed to have disappeared...even the orderly who had pushed the the stretcher was shocked how the video ended up showing an entirely different body when he transferred it to the morgue...
And now, to make matters worse, they were dealing with two missing bodies—one of which remained completely unidentified ( since it was not Saira, apparently), a mystery with no name or story, and the other... well, the other might not even be dead but had been declared dead...
Add to that the disappearance of two people: one who was supposedly dead and should have been in the morgue, and the other whose last known location only raised more questions. It was becoming harder and harder to tell who was actually missing and who was simply hiding and who dead and who was alive!
What kind of mess was this! Something like this he had never seen in his life.
And now, there was another piece of news. Because Saira Vaugn who was missing or dead or whatever, seemed to have never entered the country of Maniwa. The person who had come into the country with Adam was seemingly named Myra Vaugn but when they tried to look for her passport details, they seemed to have disappeared.
Even the immigration which collected their bio sensitive data seemed to be missing.
Finally, after almost pulling their hair out, the detective stared at Elias and bit out, "Let’s not dance around it any longer. The key piece in this whole damn mess is your client—Melanie Collins."
