Acros is pronounced as Ak-ros. Not like across. A play with the Acrostic Cipher, Like Scarlet is for Scarlet thread used for Spider webs.
ACROS' POV
As expected, They did it. They solved the crime. I watch as the detectives leave the scene with another successful case. They wouldnt have done it without my codes and tiny clues of course. Everything was planned from their ages to their names and birth months. I chuckled.
"Acros."
"Scarlet? Took you long enough."
"So they did it huh?"
"What did you expect? Of course they did."
"What are you planning?"
"What do you mean? You know the whole plan."
"Acros
MHOREIN's POV "Mhorein, Stop." Chain held my wrist and tried to pull me away from my car. "This is an important case, Chain. We cant just ignore it" My dizziness is getting worse. "If it's that important then you shouldnt go drunk." "Im not drunk. Im just a little dizzy. I can handle myself, I promise." He looked me into the windows of my soul. "No." I tried to look back at him but I couldnt. I swear Im not drunk. "I had a couple of beers, Im not drunk." "Mhor, We both know your alcohol tolerance is shit. So shut up and stay in your apartment." Chain's phone rang. He looked at me before answering it. "Inspector, It's midnight and my wife's drunk. Plus, Th
CHAIN's POVI stared at the love of my life as she examined blood stains on the carpet, Trying to make sense of it. It's not the most romantic or lovely sight but it's her. It's the woman I want to be with for the rest of my life. She will be. I know that for a fact."Chain! Chain!" I was thinking too deep again."Are you okay, Hon?" She asked. Her eyes staring at me with worry."Yeah, Of course I am." She smiled."These blood stain are a couple of hours older than the ones we found on the stairs. ""Detective, We found blood stains on the side of the library behind multiple shelves. They were estimated to be two to three days old." I looked as my girlfriend's perfect eyebrows met. God, I wanna look at her for years and never get tired of it. Too bad... I..."CHAIN!" She snapped her fingers"Hon?" Both Mhorein and Aiden we
CHAIN's POVI stared at the letters trying to understand what was written, Or if it even meant anything. Two letters caught my attention. CM."Mhor, It's CM again." She nodded."That guy leaving the weird messages?" Aiden asked. I saw Mhorein's eyebrow's met."Yeah- wait. How'd you know?" Aiden looked at me, Confused."You told me about it? Remember?" I stared at nothing for a while. I dont remember. I was expecting this."Oh right..." I had to act like I remembered. Mhorein was looking at the floor thinking. She took out her phone and looked it and the piece of paper."Who will inherit the throne now that the blood is gone." She said after a couple of minutes."What?""That's what it says,Who will inherit the throne now that the blood is gone." I opened twitter and saw multiple tweets and
MHOREIN's POVI looked around the room. I messed up the beds, Looked under the beds, Inspected every floor board, cabinet and drawer trying to find any murder weapon. Nothing.I roamed around the room for a bit. It was quiet spacious for a room under the stairs. It was a plain white room with seven different beds all decorated differently.I was taken a back when I felt my head throb. I looked that the clock. It's been almost an hour and a half of me investigating the room. My head hurts so bad. It felt like the room was spinning. My leg muscles begun to feel numb yet so painful. I could barely move my arms.My stomach felt weird and sick, And fear wrapped around my mind because of the fact that this was all happening suddenly, without anything I can think of to cause it.I blinked multiple times when my vision slowly started to blur and darken. What is happening to
CHAIN's POV "Mhorein! Just listen for once! We cant do this right now! Trust me, This can wait!" I tried grabbing her left hand but she I was too afraid to hurt her if I held it any tighter.Mhorein was walking through the halls with her dextrose, Looking for the doctor's office. "Detective! Chain has a point, This can wait!" Aiden said, worried. She stopped in her tracks and faced us. "A family masacre is not something that 'can wait', Okay? Specially if that Family is the owner of one of the biggest companies in the Phillipines." She started walking again. But this time, A little faster.She entered the doctor's office, It was mr. Vega's. The doctor that we knew for a long time now. He's also the doctor that ran tests hours ago. "Mhorein? Is there a problem?" He as
CHAIN's POV We got out of our hiding spot and revealed ourselves slowly. I composed myself, Trying not to panic.I saw an expressionless face on Daniel Lucas. He didnt even seem bothered about the fact that he could have been caught. "Fancy seeing you here, Detectives." We just looked at him. I dont know how to respond. There was an awkward silence, Until Mhorein broke the ice. "Yeah, Of course. What brings you here?" "You know, Just an early dinner before my flight to Chicago." Mhorein nodded. "Uhm. We've been waiting for you to go in the restroom, Cause Chain needs to go. " He looked at me. "Oh, Where are my manners? Im so sorry, You can go in now. I wasnt gonna use it anyway." I looked at him and entered the
CHAIN's POV "I-I'll call you back..." I ended the call and sat down. I cupped my face with my hands. Trying to grasp the situation and take it all in. It slowly sunk in...Inspector Arcilla's dead. He's gone. "Shit..." I heard Mhorein's room open. "Chain? Why are you still up? Are you hungry hon?" She yawned. "No..." She looked at me, concerned. "Chain? Is there something wrong?" She sat beside me. I dont have the heart to tell her what happened. "Chain... Tell me what happened." "No... You stay here. You need to rest. I need to go somewhere." Her eyebrows met. "What? I cant stay here!" I remembered that email. If I leave her alone, He might hurt he
ACROS' POVNow that Arcilla's gone, A piece of my revenge has been served. I read a text on my phone from Scarlet. Saying that our next move is ready. But I'd like to stress them out a little bit more before the final cut. I watched from a couple of feet away as they cried infront of Arcilla's remains. My phone rung and I quickly answered it. "Hello, Morse?" I walked away from the hallway and stood somewhere a little more private. "Acros?''how's it going?" I asked.
