Murder In The Old Castle
112. See You in Hell!
Alma. The figure wearing the hoodie looked at him sharply, although his face was covered in a strange mask. His premonition said that this figure had bad intentions towards him. He took a few steps back.
“Who are you?” ask Alma timidly.
The figure did not answer. He took a few steps forward. Alma immediately turned around, taking a thousand steps. He wished there was someone else in that place. In fact, the underground parking lot was deserted. He looked back, but the figure disappeared again.
“Where is he?” muttered.
Alma is confused. Around it there are only cars lined up. Everything looks the same. He was confused where to hide. He decided to hide among the cars, while walking down so as not to see a figure chasing him. Actually he heard footsteps, but he could not confirm where he was. His chest pounded. He felt afraid.
Braaak!
Suddenly he heard the sound of someone hitting the body of a nearby car. Alma. Suddenly the figure had appeared across the car where he was hiding. Suddenly, Alma panicked to see that.
“Take my wallet if you want!” peekkik Alma's.
He thought that this figure was a criminal who wanted to rob or take something valuable from him. Unfortunately the figure was flinching. He did not speak of Alma. He came closer, making Alma even more afraid. He ran to the other side of the car, but the figure continued to hunt.
“Tolooong!”
Alma began to shout, but no one heard. The parking lot was very quiet and it was getting dark. Looking back around, the figure disappeared again. Alma was confused. He must immediately go to the elevator that connects with the main building. Soon he settles into the elevator at the end of the parking lot. Unfortunately, not to mention he reached the elevator, the stalker figure reappeared. Half-run Nature to the elevator. But the figure also accelerated his pace.
Alma had arrived in front of the elevator, but she had to wait because the elevator was still stuck on the eighth floor. That figure is getting closer. He repeatedly pushed the elevator button. All his efforts were in vain, the elevator seemed unwilling to go down. He lost his mind, he immediately moved away from the elevator.
Too late! That figure is so close. He manages to grab Alma's body and hurls it to the floor. Alma. He tried to stand up about to run, but the figure also did not remain silent. He catches Alma's body back, then banging his body on a car.
Alma felt her bones shatter. He tried to get up, but suddenly the figure grabbed him by the neck. Alma choked, trying to escape. Unfortunately, all efforts are in vain. He thrashed, but the grip grew stronger. He felt his body stagger as, the figure banged his head against the windshield of the car.
Praaaa!
The violent clash caused the car's glass to instantly shatter, blood starting to splatter. Alma's head smashed into the car's glass. His life stretched out for a moment. The figure let Alma's body lie just next to the car, with blood splashed everywhere. He looked at Alma's body, taking off his gloves. He opened the small bag that Alma was carrying, picking up the phone inside the bag. He photographed Alma's body several times with the phone, then calmly left Alma's body just like that, as if nothing had happened.

Gerry had just wiped his body soaked in sweat. He went to the bathroom to wash his body. As usual, he exercised at least three times each week. He deliberately chose a fitness place that is quite classy. Only the upper classes are members of the gym.
He picked up a bottle of water, downing the contents until they ran out. He was about to move, but the sound of the phone shocked him. He saw who was calling, Alma's name was there. Soon he picked up the call from Alma.
“Iya Darling, I'm again in this fitness place. Are you home or still in the hospital?” ask Gerry.
There was no answer from Alma's phone, only an indistinct rustling. Gerry was astonished. He suspected there was a signal interference on Alma's phone.
“Halo ... hello! The darling? You don't hear my voice?” ask Gerry.
See you in hell, baby!
The message was strange. Gerry never got a message like this from Alma. He thought that Alma was asking him to joke. However, the language the girl used sounded strange. He replied to a message from Alma.
Ha-ha-ah! That's funny, honey! We will meet in heaven!
The message was unrequited, until then several more incoming messages from Alma's number. This time it was no ordinary message, but rather pictures of Alma's body lying beside the car with her head smashed full of blood!
Gerry was immediately struck by the pictures. His heart was racing, as if he could not believe the photos he had just received. He called Alma's number, but it was inactive. Gerry was gripped by panic. He does not know what to do, still does not know what to do next. His feelings are mixed.
He sat down for a while trying to calm himself down, taking a deep breath. Is it true what he saw just now? Is it true that lying with his head crushed is Alma? He still could not believe what he saw. He was still talking to her this afternoon. The girl said that she would take her mother to the hospital.
In the end, he decided to go home immediately. He called Rudi, but he was not picked up. Along the way he was restless. Can't concentrate a single thing. He didn't want to drag on, then he turned his car into Ferdy's pharmacy. Unfortunately, Ferdy's not in place. There's only Vera, Ferdy's coworker.
“Loh, Ferdy is home. Today it was the morning shift, so 5 o'clock it was home,” said Vera.
“O yes, I forgot. She couldn't come to Jenny's funeral,” Gerry murmured.
He called his cousin immediately.
“Fer, are you home? Can we meet?” ask Gerry.
“Oh, I'm looking for food, Ger. I can if I want to meet. Tumbens. Where do we meet?”
“Alamanda Cafe yes! At eight o'clock. I'm getting ready first. There's something important I want to talk about.”
“Siap. I'll be there!”
Gerry closed the call. He is still gripped by deep anxiety. In his mind, he kept his face alma. He still could not believe that his lover had died in terrible circumstances. He decided not to go home, immediately glided to Alamanda Cafe. He wants to forget what happened. Waiting for Ferdy to arrive.
Fortunately, the cafe was not as crowded, so he could still calm himself in the corner of the room quietly. The anxiety continued to creep up mercilessly. I don't think he wants to eat anything . He wanted to drink, but abandoned that intention. He should stay sober tonight.
The cafe is equipped with a television screen. He was surprised when suddenly the TV aired a breaking news. On the screen displays the face of famous reporter Gilda Anwar was broadcasting.
“Viewers, an hour ago there was another murder at an elite hospital. A girl was found dead in an underground parking lot. It is not clear why the girl was killed. We will continue to report on developments, while we will try to get into locations that are currently closed by the police,” Gilda Anwar said in a broadcast.
Gerry continued to stare intently at the broadcast. His heart stopped beating. Alma was really dead. This is not a joke!
