Episode 2
4pm at the coffe shop, all of them settled at a table with drinks served by the waiter. The afternoon appeared to be humid, their table placed under the ceiling fan, which spun in full speed doesn't make the air any comfortable. But that didn't matter to the band of friends. They kept chatting lively through the moment.
Hans
I'm gonna say something... but promise me all of you won't go crazy. Okay?
Edry
It can't be that bad.
Hans
My dad came home yesterday and was talking to my mom in the kitchen. I overheard their conversation.
Hans
You know the town up north. There's a gruesome incident which happened in their town. Some hikers found a dead body
Hans
at the foot of the mountain. Or should I say ...body parts to be exact.
Sam too was taken aback by the information. But she kept silent and listened.
Hans
I'm serious! I swear I heard it right.
Kassi
Anyone read the news ?
jessy
I'll google the news.
Jessy took out her cell phone and started typing.
jessy
It says here in the news there was an incident which occurred a week ago. They said a young male victim was found half eaten and some of the body parts were missing. It states here again that the police are investigating the case. And some residents believed it could have been an attack by the wolves or tigers.
Kassi
Oh my god... This is dreadful.
Edry
I don't think those animals did it.
Edry
It must've been some psycho cannibal on the loose in this area. We've grown up in this place and so far there's no such occurrence for as long as I can remember. And there's no tigers or wolves in the mountain.
jessy
That's right. I mean we've gone camping at the mountains for dozens of time. Look! We're still alive, aren't we?
jessy
And my parents and grandparents never even once said anything about wolves or tigers around the mountain area.
Kassi
Guys... Even if there is no predator animals, there's a possibility somewhere out there, a psycho is on the loose. Someone just got murdered, guys.
Hans
Listen. It may not happen to me, but what if it happens to my sisters. Or my mom or dad. Or any of you?
Kassi turned to Sam. Her face shows the worry in her mind.
Sam turned her sight towards Kassi. She looked at her blankly.
Kassi
I don't think you should be staying at the cabin at all.
Kassi
It's... It's dangerous. Furthermore, you're all alone out there.
Sam laughed nervously. Secretly, she liked the concern in Kassi's eyes when she spoke to her. It made her feel cared for. Sam wished it was more than just a reaction. She wanted to be loved.
Hans
I agree, Sam. You shouldn't be staying alone anywhere near the mountain...
Sam
I'm going to be fine, guys. Let's not get carried away.
Edry
I agree with Sam. You people need to chill... It's just some news.
Edry
Let's just hope there's no second victim... everything will be normal.
