279. The One Who Is Missing
Enya‘s POV:
“Oh My God!” I have been freaking out ever since I saw the dead body on the ground and Christina crying in the corner.
“Maynard! No!” I was still in disbelief at how he ruined his life in a matter of minutes.
“Maynard! Where is he?” Lazlo rushed towards me and whispered in my ear. I shared a sad look with him because I knew Maynard had messed up big time. It was too obvious what had happened here.
“We need to take care of Christina first,” I told Lazlo, running through the crowd and reaching her.
“Get away from her.” Zander was already trying to push others away from his sister, but they were all gathering around and gossiping.
“Did she do this?” a girl asked in panic, stepping away in fear.
Mr. Tripper‘s body was all messed up. It has to be Maynard‘s job. One could tell he had found Christina in his office. I was able to peek inside and see her clothes on the floor. She was only wearing Maynard‘s shirt right now and was crying her heart out.
“We should take her back to the room. The cops will arrive soon,” | told Zander, who nodded his head and supported his sister on her feet. She kept falling to her knees and crying.
“Pick her up,” I suggested, and he did so. I turned around and noticed Thiago had walked out of here. Maybe the sight of blood was too much for him. Lazlo and I made sure nobody got in
Lv.
Zander‘s way when we took Christina back to the room.
“Lock the door,” I said, sitting down with Christina to help her calm down.
“Isn‘t it weird that Maynard is also nowhere to be found?” Lazlo was right; it looked like Maynard had killed Mr. Tripper.
“What the fuck happened? How—–” Zander was walking across the room in frustration. It was like a nightmare for us.
“Christina! Please tell us what happened?” I begged her to tell us before the cops came over to take her away.
“H–e killed him,” she stuttered, choking on her tears.
“Did Maynard kill him?” I asked because I knew it had to be Maynard. He was the only one missing, and she was wearing his shirt.
She nodded, and Lazlo let out a deep breath of exhaustion.
“Shit!” he cursed.
“But why? Why would he kill him, and why were you in Mr. Tripper‘s office?” Zander sat down on the floor in front of his sister, his hands on the bed.
“I didn’t d–––o anything. I was just t—–” she was definitely hiding something from us. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed silently.
“Why does it seem like Maynard killed him and then left all the breadcrumbs to prove he is the killer?” Lazlo was just trying to crack the case when he got on Zander‘s nerves.
I got away from her to give her space. In the meantime, we received a call from Thiago. He was out looking for Maynard.
