CHAPTER IV –The News-

Reina went upstairs and sat before the window. She was in the state of shock. Her mind kept repeating what she saw. Finally, after hours of sitting there, she tried to think straight.

"What the hell was that!?!"

"Why the fuck do I have to see that?!?!"

The clock says that it's already noon. She got up, changed her clothes and went downstairs to look for something to eat.

"I will forget everything.. I will forget everything…" she said out loud while getting out of her room.

On weekdays, her mom and dad go to work and her brother goes to his prep school. She is home alone most of the time because everybody else goes home later in he evening.

She finally found a potato salad and a box of pretzels. Making herself comfortable in the living room couch, she turned the TV on only to find something interesting in the news.

Once again, she was shocked. The girl was found in the alley beside their school and her death is being broadcasted in the news. Apparently, the girl was raped before being shot three times in the chest.

Reina was speechless, never in her seventeen years of existence has she witnessed something this awful. She remembered the boy, the boy that was there with her.

"He must've witnessed it too"

Meanwhile, Fuuma just got home. He went to the kitchen and ate the food that he left there earlier that morning. He barely ate the food because he was spacing out, thinking of what he just saw.

"Damn, I wish I didn't see that"

He placed the dishes on the sink and made his way to the living room. He sat on the couch with his head resting on his palm.

"That girl … I must talk to her!"
