Unresolved

Chapter 1

"Ugh..."

"Hm? Sighing already?" A pretty young woman asked while giggling behind her with a box of files in her hands.

She turned to face her friend and roll her eyes in annoyance. "I think I'm going home now. Thank you for your hardwork today, Angelica", she said while rearranging the messy records on her desk.

Angelica put the box on her desk, wiping her hands at her skirt before rushing towards the other one. "Already? Isn't it just 9, Emily?"

"Yeah. I'm supposed to go back at 8." Emily answered before grabbing her coat to keep her warm from the cold breeze.

"Then? Do you want me prepare the report for Blue Morpho Case?" Angelica asked again which makes Emily's head aching.

"Just do your job, Angel... Goodnight."

After slamming the door, Emily quickly went out of the Private Investigators company where she worked.

It was oddly a very cold night that night the she felt shivers to her spine. The road is very dark with only little light from street lights because the moon seems so shy to show up today.

"Maybe, it's going to rain", Emily murmurs to herself while speeding up a little.

Speak of the devil, the started to pour gently at first before pouring like the town is going to flood by this midnight. Emily ran to avoid the rain while covering on top of her head with her palms.

While running in the rain, she passed someone who looks like a man but with the rain drenching his clothes, it was definitely a woman's figure. The woman seems so relax, strolling peacefully in the midst of the downpour.

When passing her, the woman who wears all black and also wearing pants which is almost banned for woman to wear those, look at her in the eyes as well.

They share a flash eye contact that makes Emily stop from running and look back to see the woman who seems to ignore her completely.

Emily shake her head and continue to run to her rented apartment in a drench clothes. After changing her clothes and drying up, she sit at her study table while looking at the window. The rain is pouring rather heavily tonight.

Suddenly, she remembered about the woman she met on the street just now before shaking that thought off. She opens her drawer and take out a small origami that was made from blue paper and shaped into a cute butterfly.

"I really hope we're still together..."

***

Blood splattered on the ground after one stab, another one made the blood splattered on her face too.

"Why-"

"Just go to hell, quick." She said before slicing man's throat with her knife that finally made the man stop talking.

That man is still alive but somehow struggling to breath that makes the woman in black sneer happily. She wipe the blood on knife with her coat before hiding it in the pocket and wipe the blood off her face.

She drop her signature there with a smile on the man's chest.

She walked away from the man who is still trying to stay alive by grabbing the woman's shoes only to be kicked away.

She finally can go back home to rest now.

While walking on the street all alone, she felt extra relief from all the stress and tiredness. She gaze at the sky only to see the sky is going to cry every second now.

Like she predicted, the rain pour down heavily but it's not like she's rushing so strolling in the rain is the best way to escape from this dirty reality.

While walking, a woman is running pass her and at that glimpse of moment, their eyes locked together but she revert her sight quickly and walk away.

"What a horrible way to appreciate this blessing rain."

***

Walking back home after a long day at the hospital makes her wanted to crawl back home. With her suitcase containing her medical supply, she drag her feet very slowly to conserve her energy.

Suddenly, her eyes rounded and she take a turn into a dark alley.

"Blood..." She whispers to herself and saw a man already lying on the ground and he's already dead.

That poor man was covered in blood and there's something on the ground just beside the man's body. That lady know that this is not a normal death caused by old age so she won't touch anything, including the blue butterfly origami at the body's side.

A lightning strike the sky making the scene clearer for a mili second which that lady never even blink when she saw the horrible scene.

She sighed, "At least the rain will wash the blood away."
