Call Of Death : The Secrets [COMPLETED]

Chapter 46 : The Handkerchief

Hours had passed and their awkwardness towards each other had finally gone a little down. Officer Chad's sincerity also helped them to adjust from the kiss' aftermath. As usual, Devius and Cameron came to the headquarters together. The only difference is that they are a lot quieter this time. Devius still greeted back their colleagues but aside from that, he hasn't spoken a word yet. Cameron was also focus on whatever he is doing.

After a few hours of not speaking to each other, Cameron secretly glanced at his partner. Detective Lee, wonders if he offended him for not answering his question directly. He also did not know how and what to say. For no apparent reason, he was worried that he might have offended him. He couldn't blame his partner nor can he blame himself for fear of trusting. He did not know how to differentiate a lie from the truth. Although he felt kind of happy about what he heard from Devius, he was unable to identify how he should feel about it. He wanted to be happy and accept the fact that his partner likes him but his mind just wouldn't let him be.

As for Officer Chad, he was worried that he had made his partner uncomfortable because if the words he said but he didn't regretted confessing his feelings. He just couldn't hold them back anymore. He wanted to tell Cameron about it and he doesn't want to regret one day if he ever decide on keeping it from him. If that kiss and his confession will cost him their bond and friendship, he had already accepted it. Though it will surely hurt him, being honest about his feelings for the detective is the best choice he had—that was for him though. Devius just feel nervous because Cameron's expression showed neither. He didn't see anger nor did the detective rejected him yet he doesn't seem to have accepted his confession either. He was just left in confusion and questions.

Aside from thinking about Cameron's feelings, Officer Chad, was also worried about Michael and his mother's state. He just couldn't get the thought out of his mind. He has been staring at the documents but there's nothing new. They have no clue about the culprit's real identity, his motives nor his face. The only thing they have is the possibility that Red—the caller—and the culprit might be the same or if not, they knew each other.

"Detective Lee! Officer Chad! I found him! I found one of the guys who was in the parking lot that night." Detective Parker came rushing inside, making everyone turn to him.

His arrival also snapped the two men from their thoughts. Officer Chad and Detective Lee looked at each other. They both stood up and approached their colleague.

"Where is he, Parker?" Detective Lee asked but Detective Parker didn't say anything, instead he just look at them.

"Detective Parker, he's asking where that guy is? You said you got him, right?" Officer Chad questioned.

"Well, y-yeah. I did found him." Kairo scratched the back of his head.

"Then where is he, Parker?" Cameron asked again.

"He—he's dead, Cam. When I arrived at his apartment, he was bathing in his own blood and he was already not breathing. It seemed like he killed himself knowing that I'd be able find him." Detective Parker narrated with a sigh.

After hearing all that, Detective Lee and Officer Chad were both just
helpless and stressed. That person was their only bridge to find out who was behind the murders and what does Red had to do with it.

"But I found something lying beside his corpse." Detective Parker added, both men looked at him.

"What is it?" Queried Cameron.

"Here." He handed him a bloody handkerchief.

"Why are you handing him a bloody handkerchief, Detective Parker?" Officer Chad asked in confusion.
