The Red Moon

Episode 5

Days passed, Michael was still Killing and strategising, Hence, he had never spoken or replied to Shakiti’s sarcastic queries. He secretly carried the television which he put inside a carton to a secret place he called ‘Vortex’ It’s a large room with computers and one television – the one he brought. Shakiti kept looking at the place strangely still wondering what he was doing. Just as he wondered, Mike put on a rubber hand-glove, an eyeglass, took a scrawdriver and began to loose one of the computers.
Shakiti drew closer. “Are you now a technician? Hmm.. It suits you” tranquility stretched as Mike completely opened the computer.

Only the television was heard.
“Mike Nelson, for days you have refused to talk to me or tell me what your plans are. What Xup!”

Michael never replied neither did Shakiti said any other thing until he covered the computer after soldering an IC. He surveyed the room from corner to corner with hands on his waist then exhaled deeply.

“Done!” he said dryly almost with boldness.
“Finally, he talks!” Shakiti floated to his front. “Now, tell me the done that has been done”

“This place is like a mass of air and water that spins around very fast. That’s why I call it Vortex” He moved to the computer he opened. “I have just upgraded this computer..”

“For what function?”
Mike touched the computer. “With this now, I can know peoples’ names with nobody telling me”
“Wow! How? Explain”
“If I get a picture of anyone who I don’t know his or her name, and scan it into this computer, it’ll tell me the person’s name and details immediately”

Shakiti admired his intelligence. “This gonna be harder than I thought. I guess it’ll be hard now for people to know that you’re Kira”
“Very soon, I’ll become the God of the new world. I rather die than giving one chance to know that I’m Kira” Michael walked towards the door.
“Even Nelly?” Shakiti smiled.

Michael didn’t reply to that as he stared at him. “Let’s go. Now the story begins” he walked out after locking the place…
There was a voyeur named Gizifa, an inquisitive space scientist, a man at his fifties. He has a place he also called Vortex with super computers and other related space objects. He has read so many books and had so many experiences, so the appearance of the red moon and the story of Kira got him interested. He began to think walking tro and fro in the sanctum. “Kira started after the red moon. Does that mean the moon got something to do with him? If Kira is responsible for the death of these people, how does he kill? Mostly, the dead criminals were announced on the television. Wait.. could it be he kills by just seeing their faces and names? Only God of Death, Shakiti, does that with a book called Death Note according to a popular story. Could the story be real? Does Shakiti exist? Could the red moon bring about the book to the world? My goodness!” he exclaimed aloud and went to one of his computers. He backforwarded from the day of the appearance of the red moon watching the sky of every angle of Gezos City. Little did he observe a material falling from the sky. It looks tiny and reddish due the color of the moon. “What’s that?” he paused and zoomed it, Lo and behold, the Death Note visible to his eyes. “Oh my God!” he exclaimed then observed the area it fell. It was at no other place than the residence of Mr Nelson. He rushed out….
