Exclusive News only in CCD News.

The television turned black. She gasped for air.
Hiding behind a wall
She looked back seeing many people with their cameras flashing.
She checked if the boxes were still there.
She sighed as there was nothing on her front porch.

I guess I have to get in... Manda tried to hide herself.

With every step she remained cautious.

The back door...Manda hurriedly ran.

Now inside, she can finally inspect properly. She took out her phone and started to flash every scene.

The broken plates

The office room/work room

The living room

And the crime scene...

Staring at her pale and lifeless body again... They should've cover her with something...

Her mouth was still open...

Her tears were still visible.

I don't know...

I question myself not knowing the answers.

Manda then took pictures of every angle.

Then one caught her eye.

It's pretty dusty now... Manda chuckled whilst bringing the photo with her.

The feeling of warmth brought back many memories to Manda.

You don't know how much I missed you... Wish I could... Ah what am I thinking.

She's gone. Manda continues checking every brink and corner.

Suprisingly her bedroom was clean.
All the rooms are clean here.

Except for
The attic.

Finding a rope she climbed up.

The room was completely dusty making Manda cough.

I didn't know she had an attic...

The place looked really messy.
Shovels, Dustpans, A fishing rod?
And a vast collection of vases captured my eyes.

This vase...
Reminding me of what Sam said.

I wonder... What made her buy many of these...

I took a deep breath, looking for a window to breathe.

Then I bumped at a table.
Another vase broke.

No!

Footsteps were then heard. And a familiar voice.

Hello? Anyone there?

Chief Dan! Why are you here. I opened the window behind me, spotting a rope.
