The Red Moon

Episode 10

THE NEXT DAY
Nelly, Michael’s girlfriend, was tall, beautiful and smart. She had kept the incident that happened in her apartment in mind wondering how those who wanted to take advantage of her died after which Michael arrived. The conclusion was that Kira killed them but how did Kira know about the incident? Michael and the police were the only one aware. Could Mike be Kira? She wondered.
She could be seen walking in the campus wearing a trouser, a black jacket over a white top and carrying some books in her hands. On her face were a pair of transparent eyeglasses. Though she was in the same school with Michael but different departments. She met Lucky under an ornamental tree looking unhappy.
“Hey, Lucky” she stood beside him.
“Hey, Nelly” he replied without a glance at her.
“You look worried. Or is it about the latest news in town, I mean Kira and his killings?”
“What do you think?”
“I think it’s good. I wish to know who this Kira is coz he saved me from scumbags”
Lucky looked at her. “Was Mike there?” he asked suspiciously.
“Yes, immediately they died, he came in” she replied.
That gave Lucky more prove that Michael was Kira. So he couldn’t wait to see him as they agreed.
Nelly became surprise at his question. She asked if he had seen Mike, but the answer was negative. Even Lucky made her understand that he was waiting for him too.
Suddenly, both sighted him coming from the school gate. Students were also trooping in and out.
“That’s him coming” Nelly smiled admiring his handsomeness.
Michael wore a plain trouser, a long sleeve shirt which he tucked in. On his feet were black shiny shoes and on his back was his usual bag without any book in it.
Just as they watched him, students began to run helter and skelter, shouting at the same time. In such situations, they believe that cultists were trying to kill someone. Truly, that was what happened; two students were shot dead at the gate.
Due to the crowd of people running, Michael was nowhere to be found again, even when everything seemed to be over. Nelly and Lucky tried calling his line but was switched off. They became worried.

Meanwhile, more investigation has been carried out on the death of Gizifa. It was discovered that he entered into his Vertex, drove out and came back before he died the next day. Policemen went through his computers and sitelights to see the death note as an object that fell down from the sky on the last day of the appearance of the red moon. Mr Nelson was there, so they all looked amazed. Of course they knew how the book is used, and there was no other person who would be using the book except Kira.
They all drove striaght to the location where the book fell only to discover that it was around the residence of Mr Nelson, then all stared at him suspiciously. There were five policemen. The sound of their siren brought the twins out to know what was happening. There stood at the door watching on how the policemen stared at their father.
“Sir, it seems the book fell around here” one of the men said looking at Mr Nelson.
“Yes, then look for it” he replied.
“Sir, you and I know that the book has been picked already”
“Well,” Mr Nelson spread his hands. “I never saw the book neither did any of my children see it” he called on the twins who arrived instantly. “Did any of you pick any book or note book at this arena on the last day of the red moon?” he asked them.
Dera shook her head negatively. “No” she finally said.
Just then, Vera remembered seeing Michael through the window picking something on that last day of the red moon….
