《Call Of Death》Chapter 46 : The Handkerchief
Advertisement
Hours had passed and their awkwardness towards each other had finally gone a little down. Officer Chad's sincerity also helped them to adjust from the kiss' aftermath. As usual, Devius and Cameron came to the headquarters together. The only difference is that they are a lot quieter this time. Devius still greeted back their colleagues but aside from that, he hasn't spoken a word yet. Cameron was also focus on whatever he is doing.
After a few hours of not speaking to each other, Cameron secretly glanced at his partner. Detective Lee, wonders if he offended him for not answering his question directly. He also did not know how and what to say. For no apparent reason, he was worried that he might have offended him. He couldn't blame his partner nor can he blame himself for fear of trusting. He did not know how to differentiate a lie from the truth. Although he felt kind of happy about what he heard from Devius, he was unable to identify how he should feel about it. He wanted to be happy and accept the fact that his partner likes him but his mind just wouldn't let him be.
As for Officer Chad, he was worried that he had made his partner uncomfortable because if the words he said but he didn't regretted confessing his feelings. He just couldn't hold them back anymore. He wanted to tell Cameron about it and he doesn't want to regret one day if he ever decide on keeping it from him. If that kiss and his confession will cost him their bond and friendship, he had already accepted it. Though it will surely hurt him, being honest about his feelings for the detective is the best choice he had—that was for him though. Devius just feel nervous because Cameron's expression showed neither. He didn't see anger nor did the detective rejected him yet he doesn't seem to have accepted his confession either. He was just left in confusion and questions.
Aside from thinking about Cameron's feelings, Officer Chad, was also worried about Michael and his mother's state. He just couldn't get the thought out of his mind. He has been staring at the documents but there's nothing new. They have no clue about the culprit's real identity, his motives nor his face. The only thing they have is the possibility that Red—the caller—and the culprit might be the same or if not, they knew each other.
"Detective Lee! Officer Chad! I found him! I found one of the guys who was in the parking lot that night." Detective Parker came rushing inside, making everyone turn to him.

His arrival also snapped the two men from their thoughts. Officer Chad and Detective Lee looked at each other. They both stood up and approached their colleague.
"Where is he, Parker?" Detective Lee asked but Detective Parker didn't say anything, instead he just look at them.
"Detective Parker, he's asking where that guy is? You said you got him, right?" Officer Chad questioned.
"Well, y-yeah. I did found him." Kairo scratched the back of his head.
"Then where is he, Parker?" Cameron asked again.
"He—he's dead, Cam. When I arrived at his apartment, he was bathing in his own blood and he was already not breathing. It seemed like he killed himself knowing that I'd be able find him." Detective Parker narrated with a sigh.
After hearing all that, Detective Lee and Officer Chad were both just
helpless and stressed. That person was their only bridge to find out who was behind the murders and what does Red had to do with it.
"But I found something lying beside his corpse." Detective Parker added, both men looked at him.
"What is it?" Queried Cameron.
"Here." He handed him a bloody handkerchief.
"Why are you handing him a bloody handkerchief, Detective Parker?" Officer Chad asked in confusion.
"Just see for yourself." The latter simply answered.
Cameron furrowed his brows as he slowly uncovered it. He backed away and almost let go of the handkerchief he was holding after seeing what was written on it. He felt the sudden fear growing in his chest as he stared at the bloody handkerchief in his hand. Devius' face was full of confusion and curiosity because of his partner's reaction. Then he took the handkerchief and read what was written on it.
"Lee Jin Hong." He mumbled. Officer Chad turned to Detective Lee who was just standing motionless. "Cai, why is the last victim's name written on the handkerchief? Do you it's his property?" He asked but Cameron wasn't able to answer.
Detective Lee knows something is really off. That name isn't just a simple name from the last victim. He is sure there's a message behind the name Lee Jin Hong and the culprit wanted him to know. He heard the name from his dreams, it was also written on the piece of paper that a kid had given him and now—it was weaved on the bloody handkerchief in his hand. He doesn't know what but he is sure there's something that he needs to find out about this mysterious name.

"Detective Lee, what do you think? Was it the last victim's property? Or is there something more about that name?" Detective Parker worriedly asked.
Instead of answering them, Cameron held the handkerchief tightly and walked out of the headquarters. He heard Officer Chad calling his name but he didn't even looked back. He went inside the car and drove away.
"What the hell do you want to tell me? Who is Lee Jin Hong? Why did I dreamt about him? Is he connected to me? Damn it!" He stressfully slammed his hand on the wheel.
Cameron wasn't scared that the handkerchief might be a threat to his life, what scared him is that the thought that there's something more about it. Also, while he was staring at the thing in his hand, He's starting to think it was familiar. Somewhere in his memory, he recalled seeing that handkerchief before when he was a kid. Yet the name Lee Jin Hong that was written on it, he wasn't familiar. All he could remember was that, he might have used to own a handkerchief identical to this before. He couldn't clearly remember it in his mind. It was blurry. Maybe because he had decided to forget all the memories he had in that place.
"There's a lot of handkerchief like this, right? Also, that was so long ago. Maybe it's just a coincidence?" He tried convincing himself.
While he was gripping on the steering wheel, he felt his phone vibrating inside his pocket. Cameron slowed down his car and took out the phone before answering it without looking at the caller's number.
"Seemed like you've received my gift already, Detective Lee?" Red's familiar voice echoed on the other line, he wasn't using that techy-robotic voice anymore.
"What do you mean? It was from you? Did you also killed that guy? Are you the Killer Caller murderer?" Cameron asked.
"Shush! Too many questions, detective. I was just calling to check if you received my gift not to answer toms of your questions."
"Just answer me!"
"Fine. The handkerchief, it was from me but I didn't kill that guy. Anyway, did you like it?" He asked with a chuckle.
Detective Lee hit on the break upon hearing what the caller had said. He stared at the handkerchief that was still in his hand.
"Who are you really? Why are you doing this? Did you really not kill that man? What do you have to do with the Killer Caller murder case? What are you really up to? Do you know me? Who is Lee Jin Hong?" He consecutively questioned again, doing his best to control his feelings but he only heard the man chuckled.
"Detective, easy. You sounded really scared now. It's so fun. Are you panicking? It's funny that you don't know who Lee Jin Hong is." The caller said while laughing.
Detective Lee gripped on the handkerchief. "What the hell do you want from me!?"
"Oh, that question I can answered." Red chortled. "Yes, I want a lot of things from you." His voice turned serious and angry.
Detective Lee fell silent for a while. "I don't understand. What do you want from me?"
"Your life. I want your life and I'm going to take it no matter what happens, Detective. I'll take the life you have. I want everything you had." He shouted on the other line.
"Then show your face to me. Meet me, Red and we'll see if you can really take it from me." Cameron challenged him.
The caller laughed. "Don't be in such a hurry, Detective Lee. We'll meet when I wanted to. But don't worry, I'm always watching you."
"Don't be such a coward and show yourself. Stop hiding in the dark and be a man. If you have something on me, then face me."
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Detective, you sounded really tough but once you see me and find out who I am, you will hide in fear like a mouse being chase by a cat. But don't worry, if you really wish to see me, I'll meet you soon. I'll just have to warn you, you will never be prepared for our meeting." He then ended the call, leaving Cameron in a pool of confusion.
For some unknown reason, Red's voice seemed familiar to him now that he no longer used the voice changer. He's now using his normal voice and Cameron feels like he heard Red's voice somewhere before. He kept thinking, trying to remember where he had heard his voice but he couldn't recall. He couldn't remember where he heard it but he is sure, he heard it before.
