The Case

By: Cristian

Chapter 6

Took about 15 minutes before the police and special forces came. The masked man was currently being strangled and handcuffed. I felt a sigh of relief as I felt protected and safe. I got a round of cheers from my coworkers and how I took charge of the situation. Made me feel proud but at the same time worried.

“What if we caught the wrong guy?”, I imagined in terror.

Could I really feel relaxed now or should I feel more uneasy? After these events had occurred, I quickly turned back to my work cubical and flipped open my laptop to get back to work. I knew I needed to get at least a couple of hours of work in today. Sadly.

I turned to my web browser and clicked open my email account to see if I got a response from the Waterman ‘s case. Yay I did! But as I was about to click on the mail link, I noticed another shady email from an unknown sender. I was terried that I made viewing that email my priority.

It wasn’t very long this time, but it was from MS or as I have already figured out was The Masked Singer. It stated.

You know who you are,

          I HAVE NOTICED YOU HAVEN’T FOLLOWED MY REQUEST TO KEEP THE POLICE OUT OF THIS. IF I WAS YOU, I’D BE VERY CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU DO NEXT. AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE, NOW ONE OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS/FRIENDS ARE NEXT ON MY DEATH LIST. DON’T BOTHER TRYING TO LOCATE ME, YOU’D NEVER FIND ME!

Signed,

          MS

I was left feeling shocked and terror. We maybe did catch the wrong criminal and now I had to be very careful. My stomach could not hold my late-night snack as I ran to the restroom to throw up.

I needed time to understand what all of this truly meant…
