ALex

I entered the car park and then all of a sudden the lights went off. I searched for my car but I smelled something very strange. I can’t recall what smell is that, but the smell made me to feel very uncomfortable. I was alone that night. I was feeling quite down then decided to go for a late night movie alone to cheer myself. I fought with my house-mate; he is a helpless man I have ever seen. He is 28 years old but still unable to find a work for himself. I have been patient enough with him being dependent on me, but not to the extent he made me to break up with my girlfriend. He lied to my girlfriend that I have been going out with girls working in my office. And I broke up with my girlfriend, who is being so dumb to believe his story. The depression made me to fight with Alex and I chased him out of the house this morning.

 Alex is a mysterious guy; I never knew what he does when I am out to work. He never went to any stable job, I used to borrow him money but I stopped for past few months. But still he affords to buy a new model I-phone. I tried asking him, but he never bothered to answer me. His word made me to feel threatened this morning, “Alvin, remember you will find for me, you will regret this!” This sentence of Alex made me very depressed, I hated him since the beginning and Alex knew about it. If anyone in this world would ever be happy without him it would be me. I was finding a good reason to get him out of my house but he asked for it himself now. But why I should find him? I never owe him anything but he owed me thousands of dollars. But I am very sure he is not going to return my money. I just leave it. I don’t need that money. Is he going to do something to me? Or he has any plans on me? I couldn’t find an answer.

As I was searching for my car, I heard a loud bang, it was somewhere near me. I tried to find for my car, I wanted to get out from this freaky place as soon as possible. When I found my car, I quickly unlocked my car to get into the car when I felt the ground is wet, and water dripping to my car’s door from the roof of the car. It‘s the smell again. From far I could hear loud siren of police cars when I found out that the ground is wet with blood. There was a dead body on the roof of my car with blood dripping from it. My mind shut off as I do not know what I should do, I would be arrested by the police. Anyone who saw me in that condition would say I am the culprit standing with a bloody dead body. The police rushed to the place I was standing and asked me a few questions but I could not hear them. They just took me to the police station and I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life in prison for something I never do.

Then, I saw a familiar face in the police station; it was my best friend, Jack, who is currently the police commissioner of Houston. I saw him approaching me, and I thought he is going to arrest me and tell me how ashamed he is to have a criminal friend like me. But, he patted on my back, “I’ll drop you at home, let’s go”. I was shocked and asked “Are you not going to arrest me or something?” “Are you trying to joke? Let’s go” said Jack. “Well, the police saw me with a bloody dead body on top of my car”, I said. “Well, we police are well educated like you too, engineer. We have been tracking the criminal for past few weeks and we knew he is going to murder one of his gang members due to some internal conflicts; we managed to arrest the murderer. It’s just that we never knew he is going to use your car, so we brought you to the police station for some official procedures not to arrest you” said Jack calmly. “I was doomed, who is the murderer then?” I asked Jack. “One of the most feared online terrorist, Alex, who used to be your housemate,” Jack said. I was out of word. Alex.
