Chanyeol POV
"It's not her..." I mutter out, my tears coming to a hault.
"Excuse me?" Officer Jin asks.
"This isn't my wife, this isn't (y/n)" I point out.
"Then who is it?!" Officer Jin asks.
I look closer at the girl, trying to look past the disfigured limbs and smashed in face.
"It's her mother," I realize.
"Then where is the girl that called 911?" Officer Jin asks.
I realize what he means and my chest begins to hurt. It feels like someone is squeezing at my heart, and I can't even breathe. Officer Jin realizes this and he takes me aside.
"You've had enough angst for one night, you look exhausted...is there anywhere you can go for a few hours, maybe to refresh your mind?" He asks.
I nod my head, knowing to head to EXO's dorm.
"Okay...please call me if you find anything...I will be back to help with the investigation," I tell him, wiping the tears from my eyes.
I make it to the dorm, and walk in, slamming the door behind me. I plug my phone into the wall, hoping it will charge up soon. (y/n) could have tried to call me...maybe it will give a lead of where she is.
"Chanyeol? What are you do- Oh my, what happened?" I hear Baekhyun ask as he walks downstairs.
My eyes are probably blood shot, tears still falling from them, even though I've become numb to any feelings. I don't answer and continue to look at my phone, waiting for it to wake up.
"Chanyeol..." Baekhyun puts his hand on my shoulder and I lose it.
"She's gone! She's gone and it's all my fault!" I yell, turning to look at him.
His face drops, "what do you mean 'she left'?"
"She warned me...she said she felt uneasy-she said someone was following her-I-I didn't listen! this is all my fault! I should've been there! I wasn't there when she needed me most- I promised!!" I scream.
He wraps his arms around me, trying to comfort me. I shake from the rage leaving my body, and I can't help but to sob in his shoulder. I hear more footsteps come down the stairs as the rest of the group comes down the stairs.
I explain what happened when I got back, as everyone listens intently.
"I should've been there for her. Now I may never see her again..." I run a hand through my hair.
"Did she call you?" Chen asks.
I remember my phone and rush to it, seeing it charged a little bit, I unplug it and turn it on.
One missed call.
I close my eyes tightly, trying to think that this is all a dream. Kyungsoo looks over my shoulder, "Chanyeol we have to listen to it."
I press on it cautiously, not ready to hear whatever is left on the answering machine. I turn it up so everyone can hear.
At first, all I hear is heavy breathing, and then (y/n)'s panicked voice fills my ears--my stomach churns.
"Chanyeol, there's someone in the house. He chased me up into a room, and I'm really scared-" she pauses as a loud sound bangs in from the background, a sound of splitting wood following. I sit on the edge of the seat, trying not to imagine what is going on.
Her voice is filled with pain and longing, I can barely stand to hear it, but I can't stop listening. "Chanyeol, please- help-help was on the way but-" I hear the floor creak loudly, whatever it is getting closer. My fists clench tightly, turning white.
"I love y-" her voice falters, the air cut off. The last thing I hear is a blood-curdling scream until the line goes dead.
I can't keep it anymore.
With my knuckles beginning to turn purple, I throw my fist at the wall, breaking through the drywall. I throw the other one, but before it can hit, someone grabs my arm. I rip it off, but more people grab onto me.
I try fighting them off, but soon it is 8 against one, all pulling me to the ground. They pin me to the floor, two on each leg and two on each arm. I thrash around trying to get up, but it's no use.
"Let me go!" I rage.
"Stop it Chanyeol! This won't bring (y/n) back!" Xiumin yells.
My body goes limp and I let out a whimper, "they hurt her...it's all my fault-"
"Stop it Chanyeol! We need to focus on finding her..." Baekhyun reasons.
They let go of me, and I get up, regaining my composure. My jaw clenches in anger and I grab my phone, about to head back to the crime scene to find Officer Jin.
"This son of a bitch better be ready..." I mutter.
"Chanyeol..." Suho warns.
"When I find him--he's dead."
