Lucas Connors

The mentor who had just come out of his contest had already been greeted by Anna, the girl had prepared to go see Sergeant Arthur.

"You want to go now, Ann? You don't have class today."

"Yes, El. I'd like to see you Mrs. Martha, get the spare key. Thanks for everything, El."

"What the hell, just like everyone else." Ellie was still wearing pajamas, just like Anna who had no class. So it's planned that by noon Ellie will be leaving with her acquaintances.

"I'll drive you to the front, Ann."

Ellie linked her arms with Anna's arms, the two girls then went down the stairs to the gate.

"Where are your parents, El? I want to say goodbye first."

"Oh, they're gone early in the morning, Ann. No parting is also no problem anyway, later I say hello from you."

"Hm, okay."

"Call me as soon as you get to the boarding house" Ellie asked.

"Sure. thank's a lot, El."

"Well, no worries." Ellie gives a warm hug to her best friend.

"Come here whenever you have a problem, Ann. I'm here with you" Ellie said.

"Thank's, El."

After encouraging each other enough, Anna resumed her journey. Luckily Ellie's house is close to the bus stop, so it makes it easy for Anna.

Vibrating Anna's phone grabbed the girl's attention, after seeing the name of the sender of the message on the green app, Anna immediately opened the message.

[The change of venue met, I waited at the cafe near the police station.]

The contents of Sergeant Arthur's message that changed their appointment, the police initially asked to meet at the police station but now changed.

[Okay]

Anna replied briefly, the two exchanged messages as necessary.

The bus that was about to take Anna to the destination she was heading to finally came, the girl immediately entered the bus and sat on the front bench.

As usual, even though Anna was sitting quietly and looked like she had no burdens of life or even to worry, she said, but unfortunately what appears on the outside is not the same as what is in Anna's mind at the moment.

Various negative thoughts haunt Anna, she is not sure if Sergeant Arthur is right to help her, believe her or just plain trite.

"Why is my life so complicated like this? In the past, even though you had to keep slamming bones, dividing time between work and rope lectures was not like now" Anna murmured.

The girl whose full name was Anna Perlina was pensive, her face was now overcast.

"This is my fate, having handsome but psycho neighbors. If he really was a murderer, what would happen to me?"

"It is not easy to find friendly boarding in the bag, even if the costan Mrs. Martha is very old but only there is what suits my abilities."

"I want to go back to Indonesia" Anna muttered.

From earlier the girl monologued with herself, lucky she lived in a country that is not so concerned with the affairs of others. If in the place where it came from, if there are people who speak for themselves it is thought to be crazy.

I don't know where the opinion comes from so the benchmark judge others crazy just from talking alone, but it could be because the person does not really believe in others.

Anna, who was aware of the location of the stop this time, immediately got off the bus, without her noticing a pair of eyes watching her from behind.

The glare of the eye was so sharp that he watched the girl get up from her seat, that Anna got off the bus. But the owner of the pair of eyes did not come down at the same stop as Anna.

"It looks right here the cafe."

The klining....!

The sound of bells above the entrance of the cafe every time there are visitors coming, when Anna opens the door. The girl was looking for Sergeant Arthur among the people who were enjoying breakfast at the cafe.

"Anna, over here!" Arthur exclaimed as he watched Anna search for him.

Hearing someone call her name, Anna turned to the source of the voice and found Sergeant Arthur waving his hand. Anna rushed to Sergeant Arthur's desk, and after he had been in the presence of the young man in his early 30s, Anna immediately pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Sorry to call you in the morning, what would you like for breakfast?"

"Hm, just coffee." Anna is reluctant to choose another menu, the cafe looks fancy and she believes the price on the menu must be expensive.

"All right." Arthur calls the cafe waiter and orders a coffee for Anna.

"You remember that missing person report you said yesterday?" ask Arthur without further ado.

"Yes, of course."

"Actually, I don't know if this is interconnected or not. Four years ago, my sister was also missing."

Arthur paused the story, every time he told it there was a sense of guilt.

"You know, my sister has the same features as the photo of the missing woman. Long brown-haired wavy, even their smiles were similar. I don't admit that this woman is my sister. It's just that they have the same resemblance" Arthur said.

"So, you mean both could have suffered the same fate?" asked Anna, her mind was growing.

"I'm not sure, my sister's time is gone. I have no power whatsoever, I have put forth all my efforts but have not been found until now."

"I also hate situations in the workplace that contain incompetent people and like corruption. I have one piece of information as a bribe tool to keep me quiet about their behavior" Arthur said.

"What's that?"

"Two years ago there were two women who were declared missing with the same characteristics, look."

Arthur shows a file from his laptop, an analysis of the similarities between the four victims. Of the four victims, only two were pronounced dead, while Arthur's sister and the woman Anna saw remain unaccounted for.

"So, you mean, Lucas was a serial killer? Then for four years he was left to roam?" Anna was so shocked by what she read, if so how many people had Lucas taken her life?

"It's not so," Arthur argued.

"Not how? You know the person who most likely was the serial killer is now all around me!"

"Shhh. Even though I'm a cop, I can't arbitrarily arrest civilians without hard evidence. What else Lucas Connors is a citizen with good behavior."

Lucas Connors's? Is that the full name of his psychopathic neighbor?

"Then, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to be the next victim?" anna asked, she tried to be calm. Anna also does not want to be the center of attention of cafe visitors.

"We need proof, Ann. Strong evidence, which could throw off Lucas Connors. I have a plan, you want to hear?"

Without thinking for a long time Anna nodded. He is ready to team up with Arthur to capture his neighbor.
