《Call Of Death》Chapter 50 : The Favor 1
Advertisement
In the darkness of the night, Red slummed the door behind him as he entered the place he was staying. No one is around so he is free to vent his anger into anything. He took off his long black coat with anger as he threw it on the floor. The phone in his hand was almost crashed by his strength but he would never shatter it as it's the only thing he could use to contact the detective, the officer and the only person he trusts.
For him, seeing Detective Lee living his life free and getting better is making his blood boil. Red wanted the Cameron to suffer, to be in pain. He wanted to see that person to be in a living hell. Hearing him acting like he doesn't know anything made Red even more ferocious and mad. If he haven't planned for everything in such a long period of time, he wouldn't wasted any day watching him from a far. He would immediately show up and kill him with his own hands.
But he had decided that wasn't enough. He won't just let him have a peaceful and quick death. All the killings and the clues he left are part of his plan. Ending those people's lives are part of his plan and to him, it was also to get them pay for there sins and helping them get away from living their miserable lives. Aside from that, he wanted him to remember everything, piece by piece and repeatedly like a broken music cord. All the the people who died, Red left them a clue.
"Just wait and see. Just a little more time and I'll make you suffer like hell. I'll make you remember every bit of it. I'll make you remember who Lee Jin Hong is. Just wait, detective!" Red said in an angry voice as he stared at the detective's younger photo.
He's been keeping that for a long time as he plans for his so-called revenge. Staring at his photo made him angry and motivated. Red clenched his fist while his eyes are flaming with anger.
"Hyeol, you went out again? Did you went to follow them again? I told you it's dangerous." A man's voice came from behind him.
Red walked towards the window, letting the wind play with his hair. "Jin Su, you are not supposed be here. You have your case to investigate, didn't you?" He spoke.
"Red, I already told you not to go anywhere. Being outside alone is dangerous for you. That kid, Michael, knows you're appearance." Ju Jin Su said in a scolding yet worried voice.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, I'll never reveal my real identity, Jin Su. I am being very careful, those idiot will never know it was me even if I was standing at their territories."
"They won't but what if it isn't just somebody who recognizes you? What if it was him? You know Lee Han Se might—"

"DON'T EVER CALL HIM THAT NAME!" Red drastically turned to him, his eyes full of rage. "Lee Han Se is my brother but that person isn't."
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Jin Su apologizes. "I'm just worried about you. We've spent a lot of time to create your perfect revenge plan and if you get caught, I don't know if I could do something to help you out." He said in a concerned voice.
Red smirk devilishly. "Ju Jin Su, you don't have to worry because I'll never get caught unless I intentionally bait myself to them." He stated as he walk towards the couch, sat down and crossed his legs.
"You can't stop me from worrying, especially when you're taking the dangerous way. Being near him is like baiting yourself, right?"
"I am danger, Jin Su."
"Hyeol..."
"Don't worry about me, I can handle myself. For now, just do what you're supposed to do." Red wave his hand.
"I understand. Anyway, stop overusing the sedatives I gave you to put your guards to sleep. I gave them to you so you could use them in case of emergency." Jin Su sighed.
"Don't worry, I'm a smart guy. Anyway, how's the thing I asked you to do? Have you taken care of it?" He asked while playing with a knife in his hands.
"Yes, I killed him and the handkerchief was given to detective Lee already. You followed them all day, how come you didn't know?" Jin Su furrowed his brows but Red just laughed while shaking his head.
"I'm just testing you. Of course, I already knew that you did your mission smartly. I even called him to say that I was the one who left him the gift, he sounded really nervous and confused. But to me, he sounded more like stupid." Red said that as if he was talking about a very good news. "Jin Su, I have one favor that I'd like you to do for me." He stated with an evil expression in his eyes.
"What is it, Hyeol?" Jin Su asked, Red turned to him with an evil grin.
"It might not favor you, so you can have a chance to refuse me."
"No, I'm going to do anything for you, Hyeol." Ju Jin Su insisted.
Red smirked. "But not the very first favor I asked you when we first met. I asked you to stop calling me Hyeol."
"That's the only thing I couldn't do for you, Hyeol. Your name's the only thing that reminded me of who you are."
"Fine, alright. So this is my favor for you..."
After being told of what he has to do, Ju Jin Su left the premises and prepared to do what he was told. He was hesitant with the idea but Red is very important to him that he could never say no. He considered Red more than a friend nor a brother. Red is his other half in a very significant matter. Helping him is the best thing he could do even if he has to kill everyone for him. Even if he has to sacrifice his life for him.

On the other hand, Detective Cameron Lee and Officer Chad were lying beside each other. Detective Lee's eyes were already closed but he wasn't asleep. He was thinking about Red and the thing he was claiming to be his. As for Devius, he was thinking that his partner was already sleeping. He kept staring at his handsome face, adoring every corner of it.
His perfectly curved eyebrows, long eyelashes and his pinkish lips. He's as handsome as those korean actors that Daena was crushing to.
"Cai, I can't believe that you're lying beside me now. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy." He whispered and place a sweet peck on his forehead.
Cameron grabbed the officer closer to him. "Just stay beside me, that'll make me happy." Devius was slightly surprised when the detective opened his eyes with a smile after saying that.
"I thought you were already sleeping, Cai. Tch!" Devius pouted.
Cameron smiled a little wider, wrapping his arm around Officer Chad's shoulder, pulling him close to his chest. "My eyes are closed but that doesn't mean I'm asleep. I was just thinking about our case, the Killer Caller." He stated.
"You are supposed to be resting and you're still thinking about work? I really admire your passion." Devius admiringly praised his partner.
"What's there to admire? It's my job, I am supposed to do it correctly. He said humbly.
"Alright, you're so humble." He giggled.
"This is the hardest case I've ever handled, Chad. It's been almost two months and there's still a very little progress." Cameron sighed.
"Yeah. I could say the same. This case is really the hardest to solve in all the cases I've handled before. Do you think, well be able to catch the culprit?"
"I'll make sure to catch him even if I have to walk through the needle's hole. But what's bothering me is Red, the person who called me before." Officer Chad confusedly looked up at Cameron when he said that.
"What do you mean? The one who sent you the riddles?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
Cameron felt hesitant at first but opening his heart and considering his feelings includes trusting Devius. He ruffled his partner's hair gently and stared at the ceiling.
"Actually, that day when you found me passed out on the ground, that's the same day Red introduced himself to me." Cameron confessed, Officer Chad sat up.
"What?"
"Yes, he partially introduced himself to me but I didn't see his face because of how dizzy I was."
"I'm confused, Cai. What do you mean he partially introduced himself to you?" Devius questioned, wrinkling his forehead.
Detective Lee sat up too and leaned on the bed behind him. "Well, he didn't fully introduced himself but he told me that he was the man behind the black coat."
"The man behind the black coat?"
"Yes, that's what he said. I saw him too." Cameron nodded.
Officer Chad was silent for a while. "You mean, the mysterious guy that the witnesses claimed to have seen before the murders happened." He asked in surprised.
"Mm. He might or might not be the same person but that black coat guy, I've seen him spying on us. Red called me and he admitted that he was the person following us." Cameron honestly confessed in along litany.
"Cai..."
"But I have this feeling that he might also be the one who killed the guy from the parking lot." Detective Lee sighed.
Officer Chad was feeling confused. He doesn't know how to respond after hearing all of that. If Red was behind everything, why would he give them a clue. But also, how did those guys found out that they were looking for them? And why would Red tell Cameron about his identity? All those questions filled his mind but no answer could be found.
"But wait, how did you know that he was behind that man's murder?" Devius furrowed his brows.
Cameron sat straightly and looked into his partner's eyes before saying, "Because he called me that same day and he said that the bloody handkerchief was his gift for me. That handkerchief... I remember that I used to have the same one and I also remembered writing my name in it."
"What?" Detective Lee's confession confused Devius more. "I don't understand, Cai. So, that handkerchief is yours?"
"No. No, it's not. It's not mine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, the name embroidered in that bloody handkerchief is korean." Cameron said.
Devius turned to face him. "Well, aren't you korean too?"
"Yes, but my korean name is Lee Han Se and the name written on that bloody handkerchief was Lee Jin Hong." Cameron shook his head.
"But, why did you have such reaction with that handkerchief?" Officer Chad mumbled, confused.
Cameron took a deep breath. "I'll tell you some other time. Let's sleep now, I'm feeling tired." He ruffled Officer Chad's hair and lied down.
Even if Devius still wanted to ask him some questions, he knows that Cameron isn't that ready to tell him everything yet and he accepts that. He can wait until tye detective gets comfortable speaking about his past. Devius just lay beside Detective Lee, hugging him until they both fell asleep. But in the middle of the night, the pair was awoken by a loud knock on their apartment door.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

The War of our Stars (SWTOR Fan fiction)
YAH, PICTURE! Also, I used "The Old Republic", as I couldn't fit in "Star Wars"....... Yes, the title does mean something. I guess this is a SWTOR Alternate Universe Fanfiction? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I used glowtxt, Microsoft word, and paint to make that. I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE, I got it when I searched up "copyright free". Also, I just used glowtxt, but if whoever made glowtxt wants me to stop, I'll get rid of it. Whilst this is a fanfiction of SWTOR, the setting is VERY different, you will not see any SWTOR characters within this Novel, there will be places both made up and already existing in SWTOR. Take for example, whilst the Dark Council still exists, it will have completely different members. Also, there are minor changes to the history before and during the Old Republic, but there is little overall change, with the main character starting out at a similar time to a starting character. Star Wars the Old Republic Fanfiction. You'll understand the title, not in the first chapter, but as Frederick goes to outer space. Before the Rule of Two, there were multitudes of Sith and Jedi. Numbering thousands of both Sith and Jedi, a great war between the Empire and Republic has existed since time immemorial. From our World, a young boy named Frederick is born into the Galaxy of Star Wars, born into an Imperial Family, he lives up to the expectations of becoming a powerful Sith. But all he wants to do is to survive.... But by surviving, he does more so than simply surviving. Many have made star wars fanfictions, and this one will probably...... (I have read, watched and played Star Wars, so here you go) NOTES: Action and Adventure are a bit light for the first few Planetary Arcs. I'm terrible at comedy and romance will come will really late. Absolutely terrible until Corellia.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."
