Chapter 3 - Online serial killer?

that

I lean on my table as I open my computer, trying to search for any information about hackers forcing people to kill. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any until a blog from the Bluedit app talked about an online serial killer.

The air feels a bit cold as I read the whole blog

Recently, my relatives died because they had a very bad relationship with each other. They were on each other's throats, but you know there's only one person who survived and was put in jail, the youngest son in their family. He won't budge words as if he doesn't want to talk at all, so he takes every single blame, but once I met him, he told me an online serial killer made his family kill each other by sending fake texts and leaving him to take the blame. He can't speak things like this because the person has already warned him that people won't believe him. What's worse is that a person can remove his digital footprints and even evidence, so people won't know bout it. You know what's worse? One of my friends is in the same situation now; they both served time in jail.'

The blog was very scary as it might be related to what Lucas experienced, but seeing the comments, people won't believe him and laugh at him for saying he should start making fictional movie sounds awful to me

I read every single comment carefully, but suddenly my light office was turned off, making me shocked, but with an instant thought, I quickly called Hayden

"Erie?" His soft voice can be heard through the phone

"I don't feel-" my voice was cut off as someone tapped my shoulder harshly, making me scream a little.

"Oi!" the so familiar voice can be heard

"Fuck- I almost got an heart attack because of you dammit"

"You look pale."

"I'm fine, Mia." I feel relieved to know that the one who's here is Mia instead of any stranger

"Everie, is everything wrong? I'm on my way to your hospital." Ah- I almost forgot about him. I put my phone on my ears, then walk toward the plug to turn on my light back

"Sorry, I was just panicked. No need to come, I'm fine."

"Alright, I'm on my way to Pierce's house. Take care of yourself, and yes, you can always call me."

"Thank you," I smile to myself as I hang up the call

"Ho ho~ knight shine in armor"

"Shut up, Mia."

"Wow, Eve, are you interested in thriller fiction now?" Mia said as he scrolled my computer, but I closed the website

"It's nothing. Why are you hAh-rightah-right! Are you crazy?! Why did you decide to put me under Lucas's therapy?"

"Why not?"

"He can kill his parent, that doesn't mean he won't kill some random therapist."

"Stop overdramatic, he won't, plus his hand will always be handcuffed," my words don't seem to calm Mia at all

"He's a calm kid."

"Calm and silence are the deadliest killers."

"I really want to kick you up your butt"

"Jeez, are you sure he's not that bad? "

"Yups! Anyway, the crime scene happened to be in my apartment building. Can you not go back and accompany me tonight to the hospital dormitory?"

"I did it for the whole week already! " Mia scoffed as she pouted a little. I mean, yeah, it wasn't her fault that she felt that way. She has been accompanying me for almost a week, since I had many works to do, so I had to sleep in the dormitory, but yeah, I'm not into horror experiences,s, so no.

"Please~ Tomorrow lunch is on me."

"Deal"

.

After sending Everie back to her hospital, I decided to go back to my house and order a quick meal from food delivery.

I thanked the courier who send me the food then put my food package food on the bar as I sit and ready to consume it all after a whole ass stressful day. A good Bolognese Spaghetti makes me feel so much better.

I looked aside at a wallet, I saw Lucas's phone, which I quickly remembered from the event earlier, making me try to turn on the phone.

And I was right, the phone has exactly 59 percent battery, but the thing is the phone resets by itself own making me frown a little

Then suddenly my phone rang. I quickly accepted the call as I saw the number name 'My strongest Key'

"Erie?" I asked softly, trying my best to stay positive and avoid thinking bad things, but I was already ready, holding my car keys

Suddenly, I heard her screaming loudly. Without a second thought, I quickly grabbed my coat and entered the car

I heard her speaking with someone, but it wasn't too clear; maybe I'm in utter panic mode

"Everie, is everything wrong? I'm on my way to your hospital." I asked her, but luckily, after her explanation, I felt relieved. I told her I'm going to Pierce's house instead since I don't want to make her feel worried about the whole situation. Being a doctor already stressed by crime issues might make her faint at the spot from stress.

As I drove my car, I noticed a notification from Everie
