Chapter 94: The Cancelled Plan
PHILIP
There was nothing more important right now than the bond that I had established with Chuck. While I was in the peakest of my fear and trembling, he was on the calmest state of his mind. While I was on the verge of turning back, he was there behind me to make sure that I only had to take a step forward and not backward. He was at his bravest while I was on my weakest. He was at his fullest determination while I was at my emptiest. To simply put that, if not because of him being by my side, I would have gone out of this building already. I would have had returned to the protest area, or perhaps went to my dad to report that Travis was missing instead. Luckily, he got my back.
As we arrived in the front of the door of the third classroom from the elevator, we stopped and halted for a minute one last time. I did not know why we did it, but I think, we did it unconsciously so I would have my time to think

The Photo Collector Chapter 96: Before They Find Out
TRAVISThink it through. Think it through. Think it through. But how?As I stared on the sanguine blood that washed and stained almost the entire front of my uniform, I squeezed my brain only to pulp out ways on how could I get rid of this upper garment without getting suspected as the killer of the poor dead sophomore student. Philip and Chuck were both true. This was very critical to me, because I was the only person who had the only evidence of the crime scene. Although I had already hidden the murder weapon which was the butcher knife (a replica of butcher knife used to slaughter the past victims of this serial killing), I still was not guaranteed to be safe. None of us here are safe. However, none of us here were also in deep chamber of hazard and vulnerability. It was only me. I was the only one who is prone in being jailed because of being accused as the killer.Anyway, I hid the
The Photo Collector Chapter 97: Morbid
RABIYAThe moment I received the command coming from Travis Exposito himself, Janvic and I decided to take our actions right away. So, without letting another at least split of a second to pass, we began walking across the lobby of the second floor and into the stairways that led us to the third floor. It was an exhausting and severely energy-draining activity, but we had no choice but to move as fast as we can. To be honest, we already forgot that we were supposed to be careful because as what Travis and Philip had said, the killer might appear us along the way. None of us knew that he or she had weapons, but at least, at some point until we reached the fifth floor in at most twenty minutes, we had not encountered the killer yet.By the time we landed our feet to the staircase of the fifth floor, Janvic and I decided to take a short break.

The Photo Collector Chapter 99: Crazy
There was nothing more humiliating that what Janvic had did. I mean, he was so out of his mind and out of his temper than he even thought of saying those kind of words right in front of Travis Exposito as if he was not there. As if he was just a mere particle of dust floating in the wind for a second and disappearing right away forever. I would have not said those things if he was me.Chuck suddenly unleashed a powerful sigh. Powerful enough that I felt how the wind coming from his nose ripped through the bareness of my own skin. “You know what, Janvic, it is not that hard to pass, you know? If you want to back out, then go. If you want to leave the building and betray us by reporting everything to the police and even to the Detective, then you are free to do so too.But just remember this, this is going to be the last time I will be talking to you if that really happens. Are you okay with that? Because to me, it is one hundred percent okay. I do not mind l
The Photo Collector Chapter 100: Chasing Freedom
After quite a while, Janvic, who was the one who sparked the argument a while ago suddenly shared something. “I have an idea,” he said. “I know this might sound crazy, but I am sure this might actually work. Of course, as a curious cat, I asked him the question that was meant to be asked only for that specific question.“Okay, what is this idea of yours? Mind sharing it to the group?”The moment Janvic prepared himself to let out a deep breathe was the moment I figured out that what he was about to suggestion was something crazy.“What if we stab you in the abdomen? What if we give you an injury and make you bleed to make them believe that the blood in your uniform was yours? After that, let us just then act that you are a victim of attempted homicide, too. However, you survived but you have not caught a glimpse of the killer. That might just work, right?”I knew it. It wa
The Photo Collector Chapter 101: All For Travis
PHILIPI did not know what exactly happened. All I could remember was that Travis asked us to turn around, and the next thing I knew was that we heard a shout of pain coming from him. When we pivoted back to face him, he was already bleeding. His uniform, the upper garment covered by the blood of the Sophomore student, was already on the floor. Then, on his abdomen, he was bleeding. This time, it was no longer the same blood as found on the uniform. It was now his own. His hand was shaking, and the butcher knife gripped tightly by his fingers was still stabbed through his skin. It made him continue to bleed.It was a dark moment for me. And for Rabiya. And for Janvic. And for Chuck. The very second we saw that it was already done, there was only one thing that occupied the entire space in our mind. The thought that, “there was nothing else we could do to undo that. It had already happened. It was alrea
The Photo Collector Chapter 102: No One But Him
“Now, let us begin the brainstorming. We have to stay focus. We do not know when the police or anyone is going to find out about the disappearance of that sophomore student, so we have to think and act as fast as we can. If you have suggestions or anything in mind, say it right away. The odds are not in our favor.” I slammed my palms, both the left and the right onto the table and I looked at them all again once more. I took a good stare on the uniform of Travis which was covered in blood. It was hard. Just simply staring at it made me realize that it was indeed almost impossible to get that thing away. It was beyond my skills.After quite a while, Janvic, who was the one who sparked the argument a while ago suddenly shared something. “I have an idea,” he said. “I know this might sound crazy, but I am sure this might actually work.
