《Naja And The Mysterious Watch》Who was it?
Advertisement
Naja looked at the clock, it was 8pm, the curtains were closed now, she really hated the dim light, so she turned on every table lamp in the living room, the light became better.
Even though the windows and door were closed yet Naja felt like there is a wind in the room, but maybe because she was starting to feel cold, it was autumn season after all.
She decided to clean the rest of the living room, there was a whole wall that was full of different models of storage cabinets, a tall one, which was nearest to the garden door, it was full with garden tools, and there was a shelf above the tools, it had gloves, and some materials for the garden too.
The next storage cabinet looked like wardrobe, it was tall and wide, inside she found many books, some about gardening, some about moon, some about weapons, and some about locks techniques.
For the second time she thought about the theory of Mr. Lumar being a thief.
As for the weapon books, if Mr. Lumar was hiding, its natural for him to have something to protect him, so did he have any weapons?.
The new plan now is to search the apartment for the weapon, after cleaning it.
But Naja didn't have to search for it, there was gun in a drawer in the next storage cabinet, which was short and have lots of drawers.
Naja grabbed the gun carefully, she never saw a real gun before, she isn't even sure if its real, and she thought its better not to play with it, so she took a book about guns, and sat on the dusty sofa searching for information about the gun she found.
She found it after 10 minutes, it took her long time to find because the gun had extra piece on it, which kinda changed how it looks.
Later she found that the name of this piece is silencer, it as the name implies, to hide the sound of the gun when it shoots.
Whatever Mr. Lumar was involved in, he certainly didn't want anyone to know, so probably he was planning to use the gun to kill whoever was after him, and hide his body, but where to hide the body? The garden? Was he digging when the boy saw him at night?.

It was stupid to think about hiding anything in the garden, he could've been seen easily by the people who lives in higher floors.
What if he was a thief and had a partner, but he escaped with the money they both stolen, so the partner was after him.
But if this is what happened, people usually kill with guns and knives, not with claws, and how can a human body be ripped, how strong the killer was to do such a thing?.
He had a gun in the house yet he was murdered before he can use it, was it because the murderer was very fast, or because he trusted him?.
The alarm clock rang, its 10pm now, she opened the curtains, and looked at the sky, it was full moon.
She could hear the night crickets, it was really scary how quite is the house especially at night.
She thought if he wanted the moon light to enter the house, and properly that why he opens the curtains, then she should turn off the lights.
The moon light was mostly focused on the blood stain on the floor.
Was he looking at the moon when he was killed?.
Suddenly she heard a faint sound of foot steps in the garden.
She was sure she already locked everything, but she was really scared, after all Mr. Lumar locked everything too yet ended up murdered.
Naja grabbed the gun, moved very slowly so she wont make any sound, to a darker area with no moon light, which was exactly behind the door which leads to the garden.
Naja tried her best to breath as slow as possible, so she wont make any sound while breathing.
She had a hard time trying to stop herself from looking, especially when she saw a shadow of a man looking from the outside into the window.
Thankfully, he didn't stay for long, but Naja had a very weird feeling, it was a mix between fear and curiosity, something she never felt before.
It took her alot of power to stop herself from looking from the window to check who he was, in addition to the slow breathing technique, and being exhausted from cleaning up the house all day, Naja slept while hiding.
She had a weird dream that night, a Werewolf was walking in the garden, saw her sitting in the middle of the chessboard at night, her hand was glowing, then he attcked her.

She woke up with her heart beating so fast, and all her body hurts, it was morning now, the place was full of warm sun light.
First thing she did was closing the curtains, then she ate some canned food, and wore her clothes left the apartment and locked the door.
She was going to the library, tomorrow will be her first day at her new job, so she wanted to know how much time needed to reach the library from the house.
When she got out of the building, she saw a small cake shop, it didnt have show windows, it was a small open room with a table, but no wall at the front of the room.
The table was covered by glass, she went to check the cake, it looked really good, each piece was for 75 cent, she kept looking very carefully to choose one.
When suddenly a middle aged man appeared behind the table, Naja was so focused on the cake, that she didn't notice the man, he was looking silently at her smiling, waiting for her to order, so when she noticed he face behind the glass, she almost jumped from surprise.
The man start laughing, and said: sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you, which one you like to get?
The strawberry one. Said Naja and she tried to give him the money to pay for the cake, but he refused to take it and said:
Its on me, I hope you become a customer here.
Naja said nothing, and started eating the cake, it was really delicious, she then thank him.
The man asked her: forgive my curiosity, but I saw you coming out from the building in front of me, exactly from the garden gate, I know Im being rude, but that place.
He stopped talking for a few seconds, his face looked troubled, then he continued: that place is abounded for like a year now, so its really strange to see someone coming out from it.
Naja said: I live there now.
The boy who lives above her came to the shop gave the man money and said: good morning Mr. Barz, this is for yesterday cake.
The boy looked at Naja and said: good morning.
Good morning. Said Naja
The boy was wearing his school uniform, he waved and started walking away.
Mr. Barz suddenly said: you are lucky to find an empty apartment in such place, this area is very lively, so everyone wants to live here, if I know that apartment was for rent I would've tried talking to Mr. Darsen.
Naja said: seems you know everyone in the building.
Oh yes, I've been here for 3 years now, and as you can see my shop is located exactly in front of the building entrance.
Thanks again for the cake. Said Naja, finishing the last bite and preparing to leave.
Welcome. Said Mr. Barz smiling
It took her 20 minutes walking to arrive to the library.
Mrs. Artis wasn't exaggerating when she said the biggest library in the city, it was huge.
But Naja didn't think care much, she was thinking about what Mr. Barz said.
She was sure he knows about the murder in that apartment, after all news about murder crimes spread fast, and this one being strange case would spread even more.
He must've also seen the police entering the building and investigating the crime, yet he wanted to rent this apartment, even though he knew Mr. Lumar.
If someone you dont know was killed, it wont effect you, but someone you see alot, like daily it should effect you in a way or another, but he looked really careless while saying so, did he didn't like Mr. Lumar?.
So many things in her mind, like the gun she is carrying now in her bag.
What happened last night was really scary, and if the shadow was for the murderer, this means that the killer still coming back to the apartment, but why?.
Of course because he wants something from it, so if Mr. Lumar really was a theif and stolen something, then he was killed because of that thing he stole, but whatever is that thing is, it wasn't found so far.
That would be the case if it was normal murder, but torn body and claws marks, so he stolen something from a Werewolf?.
