CHAPTER 104: THE CULPRIT MIGHT BE LURKING AROUND
BRADLEY’S POV
After running many lights and breaking traffic rules we reached the seashore that was already crowded by reporters and policemen.
I and Victoria rushed to the scene and we saw the forensic and the police already there and immediately Victoria saw her friend’s body she break down into tears
“You this heartless girl, what trouble did you get yourself into this time? Hun, didn’t you say you were just going home to freshen up then what’s this?” Victoria wailed falling to the ground but I don’t even know how to condole her.
She later picked herself up from the ground and walked towards the body slowly but the forensics stopped her but I gave them the go-ahead that they should let her see her friend.
They dropped the white cloth covering Olivia’s face and my heart ached seeing the girl’s pale face and it was obvious that blood was drained from her face.
Victoria’s wail increased seeing her friend’s pale face and after I couldn’t take in the sight I walked to the police so they could brief me on what happened.
“Good evening, Sir,” one of the detectives greeted me while seeing me walking up to them. “What did you find?” I asked them and they all sighed looking towards Olivia’s body.
“We found a gunshot wound on her that means that she has already been killed before she was dumped here and we think she has been in the water for long because her body has been mortified,” the detective says and Bradley’s finger curled up in anger.
“So you mean someone killed her and then dumped her body in the sea?” Dylan asked and the detective nodded his head. “When you men found him that was what we were told too,” they say and Dylan nodded his head remembering his men found her body first.
But who could be so heartless to do that to a girl like Olivia? Or does she find out about something that endangers her life? I thought but my thought got suspended by a voice.
“We found something!” One of the forensics yelled rushing towards us with a transparent leather in his hands.
One of the detectives rushed to him and checked the content of the bag and he was surprised to see that it was a phone. “It slipped off her when we were transporting her and I think she kept it well for them not to notice it,” the forensic says and Bradley’s eyes twitched.
“What did you say it was the deceased profession,” the detective asked and Victoria, who was also listening to what happened, rushed to the scene. “She is a reporter and what you are holding over there is a phone she usually used for recording and…,” Victoria was saying and she trailed off.
“What if that phone has the evidence about who the culprit is,” I say and the detective nodded his head. “Are you going to do a good job or I should take it with me?” I asked and the detectives were awkward but they gave their word.
I looked towards Victoria and her face was already swollen due to endless crying. “We should go back now it’s already late,” I urged and Victoria nodded at her in a daze.
“What are we going to say to Gina, she is going to lose her mind if she hears this,” Victoria says and she broke into another sob.
I thought about what Victoria says and I know that Georgina is going to be the one to have it hard especially when she hears.
“Then we don’t tell her,” I say and the girl looked at me like I have lost my mind. “She is already going through a lot right now so we won’t tell her anything especially until with find out who the culprit is,” I say and Victoria nodded her head.
I looked at the crowded seashore and my eyes darkened trying to figure out who the culprit was.
“The culprit tonight is someone we don’t know if someone we know is lurking around, who is that?” I mumbled to myself.

GEORGINA’S POV
I looked at the dark sky outside and I felt extremely bored. After I sent my aunt home I knew she hasn’t left my side ever since and I don’t want her to break down but now I was regretting it because Victoria and Bradley were not in sight and I haven’t even seen Olivia ever since I woke up.
“But why hasn’t that girl ever come to see me?” I questioned myself but I waved off the worry because I knew that Olivia might actually be on a stakeout with her phone out of signal that doesn’t know that I’m already awake.
“That definitely explains everything, I should just stop worrying,” I say and lay my head on the bed and decided to catch some sleep but a thought crept to my head.
“Maybe I should just call Bradley and ask him where he is,” I say and I reach for my phone that’s laying beside my bed but I noticed that I could reach it even though it was so close and I smiled sadly.
“You wouldn’t even let me pick a call now,” I murmured to myself and I lay my head back on the bed without putting up much of a fight.
While drifting off into dreamland I noticed someone opened the door to my room and I got alerted picturing the worst. Ever since I escaped that horrible experience, sleeping has become a chore and also I tend to panic for some time but I knew it was just a dreadful incident growing on me.
I heard several footsteps entering the room and I panicked. My breathing became unstable and my mind already went wild but I relaxed when I noticed that it was just the doctor and nurses doing ward rounds.
“Her vitals look okay but make sure you always check because with her condition she might experience shock easily,” I heard the doctor’s order and I know it was the doctor because of its tone of command.
“Ok, doctor but did you think she would be fine when she heard the news about her friend,” a person said among them, and my interest was piqued when I heard them say something like that.
What are they talking about? I thought
“She must not know that anything happens to her friend,” the doctor warned the nurse but what they didn’t know was that I wasn’t sleeping a bit. “What did you mean by that?” Georgina asked, her eyes widened immediately, which scared the doctors and the nurses.
“I…I…we didn’t know you were not sleeping,” one of the doctors tried to find an excuse but my sharp weak voice cut him off. “I’m asking you what happened to my friend?” I asked again, my tone not a little bit friendly.
The nurse narrated what they saw in the news but they lost me when I heard about Becky’s body being dumped in the sea.
“So the police are still investing….,” The nurswcwa said but she stopped when they saw me removing the drip in my hand and trying to stand up from the bed.
“What are you doing ma’am?” The question tried to stop me but I jerked their hands away I noticed that I was weak, so weak that I couldn’t even move.
“Please, let me…. go..,” I was saying but I felt my energy draining and I immediately started to feel drowsy and I heard the nurse’s panicked voice. “Doctor, she is losing consciousness,” I heard the faint sound but the only thing lingering on my mind before I lost consciousness was Olivi koa.
