Shoe Size

~At night around 10~

Lily Texted Gretel

"I am not coming college tomorrow, I am not feeling well."

After few seconds she received text message

"Take care of yourself. Gn 😊"

'Why are you lying to me, Lily.'

Gretel thought who was just few metres apart from Lily. She saw Lily Texting Mark, they were going on a date next day.

Gretel was very disappointed at her, and left to her home.

On her her way home she saw breaking new

"A girl named Suzan, found dead with her throat slit, infront of DH society. The camera's were damaged, so its hard to detect the killer. Police have been searching for this killer, yet unable to track any source. This time Killer took action fast and it very dangerous for being out..... valh blah blah."

Gretel saw this news and left. She reached her apartment and was greeted by same figure.

'It was amazing right. Especially when you tied her on bed. She was so cute. Just like a puppy. She was begging to her life. You did-

"SHUT UP" snapped Gretel

"SHUT UP SHUT UP, SHUT THE FUCKING UP."

she was panting, she has lost her mind

"IT WAS NOT ME, IT WAS YOU. YOU DID IT."

She fell on her knees, and stared to cry. "She was innocent, not only her, but Peter, Darcy, Ariel, and member of Houston's family. *sob *sob they didn't do anything thing wrong. Why killing the innocents." She was trembling

'I didn't know such a ***** you are. It was their fault, not yours, so what are you guilty for. You only did justice, there is nothing bad.'

"Yes, its not my fault. I didn't do anything wrong. They were Bad guyz, who looked down upon people. I just taught them lesson. Yeah..... HAHAHAHAHAHAH."

Gretel has completely lost her mind.

'But this punishment is light for them.'

She know what has to be done to the next victim.

~At police headquarters~

"Another victim, around 20, what does this killer wants?" said Bernard, "No clues, No family or any other connections, No DNA, this guy is so professional."

"It is known that Suzan went to that mall few days back. All cameras were damaged too" said linda

"This is getting complicated." sighed Nathan

"What is the post mortem report?"

"According to the report few amount of chloroform was used, means after 30 min they can regain consciousness. According to the witness, she came home around 7 and she died around 8. Her body was discovered around 10 by a man who was going to that building. We also checked if there were any guest, but nothing was to be found." said linda

"Killer must have been waiting for her at the house." said Bernard

"Nope." said Terence "She must have never been to the house."

"WHAT!" They asked in disbelief

"When I went to the place. According to the witness, they just saw her entering the building at 7. So she must have been on her way but was knocked unconscious killer and he went to her apartment. h

He opened the door with keys, and kept the belongings to its place. Then he took the body. Using elevator was risky so he took emergency exit. Victim lived on 8th floor and each floor have 2 Window from where they dump trash. 1 window is for biodegradable and other one is recyclable. He must have thrown her body through window 1 because is didn't damaged her body. Then time he reached was when she started gaining consciousness. He picked her up and took her to the entrance of the building. When she came back to her senses He grabbed her throat not to make noice and slit her throat. After that most probably he must have disposed off his cloth."

"So well planned murder. He must have been genius." said Bernard

"So the clue left is footprint. Killer was wearing shoe and size is 7." said Terence while taking chair.

"Is he a teenage?" asked Nathan

"May b-" suddenly something popped in Terence head. "Linda, tell me your size."

"My what" she blushed

"your shoe size." Terence was getting impatient

"mine is 9."

Terence rushed to his computer and started typing something. They followed him.

"8.5"

"whats that?" asked Bernard

"I took ladies and men shoes measurement. According to chart 7 in men is 8.5 to woman."

said Terence

"His feet is smaller than Linda's." mocked Bernard.

"So, are you thinking that killer might be a woman?" Asked Nathan

"If she is a woman how can she carry the body and roam around." Asked Bernard.

"She can be a bodybuilder."Linda continued

"Unlike someone who sit and does nothing."

"May be not." said Terence

"We need more clues, we need to see who can be the next target." said Nathan

It was getting complicated for them to track. No one knows who's last day its going to be.

~Next day~

Lily went out on a date with Mark to Amusement park. They were acting like a couple. After few rides they went to a cafe

"Lily you had fun today?" asked Mark with smirk

"Yes" she replied

'Of course you need to enjoy yourself, you stupid bimbo." he thought

"So what do you want to eat." Mark asked

"Actually Mark, I just wanted to know..... why you asked me on a date?"

Mark hold her hand and said

"I know I was a jerk to go behind Ariel, but I had no choice." he said showing sadness in his tone.

"I didn't love Areil, she was behind me. If I had rejected her back then, she wouldn't let me go, she might even hurt you."

"What do you mean?"

"She could have hurt you. I know I embarrassed you in public, but, I really loved you. I didn't want her to hurt you." he said while kissing her hand.

"You did it for me?"

At this point Mark understood she has taken the bait, so he still pretended to love her and Gretel was watching all these.

"Your friend... Gretel.... did you tell her about us?" he asked

"Not yet." Lily said with disappointment.

'Will she accept this? After being with her for long, will she accept that I love Mark and not her.' thought Lily.
