5.30am
Originally an idea for a kaisoo fiction, 5.30am purely poured out of my brain with a story of a special agent in police department, facing a case of car crash happened early in the morning where not so many people gather around to see what had really happened. This special agent named Axel, whose talent is incredible in noticing things that others failed to see. He was the only one who noticed the accident looked rather strange. When reports and evidences proved that the accident was indeed happened between two cars from opposite direction, the police department stated the case as unsolved. It pissed Axel off, and he decided to seek justice for the family whose lives were taken away because of some irresponsible sides.
Few time passed since the accident and Axel met a woman named Kiona, cold eyes and lack of expressions couldn't keep him away from the other. As a talented special agent of police department, he could sense infelicity almost immediately and he didn't know why he ignore those obvious feelings in his stomach the first time he caught Kiona in the eyes. The more he got to know the woman, the more he felt like she's a complete stranger. Kiona confessed to him that she'd been hearing voices since she was a little child, telling her to do things she couldn't even interpret as an innocent individual years ago; bad things. Axel encouraged her to stay positive and not to think too much about those voices in her head.
Kiona had mentioned that she had an alcoholic father who would beat her and her mom in any chance he could every single day of their lives. Days felt so long to get by and the voices in her head seem to get louder and louder. One day, though, she told Axel her father had died mysteriously. His stiff corpse found floating in the lake located exactly behind their house, that time Kiona's mother had long went away because she couldn't bear the pain her father had caused since forever. Kiona worked as a nurse in a mental hospital and forced to ran away one day because of an act of rampage from one of the patients, said that the patient successfully snatched a knife and killed at least twenty five person inside. The hospital was paralyzed.
Recently, she confessed, she'd barely make it alive from a car crash.
A car crash.
One evening, Axel invited Kiona over to his apartment for a special new year's eve dinner. He planned to celebrate the change of year together with a new interest of his. A sudden phone call was received by Axel, it was from his co-worker, giving brand new information about a fugitive from a mental hospital. Flyers are everywhere including in the police office which his co-worker said as 'overwhelming amount'. Fugitive is a woman, approximately in the middle of her twenties, ran away from a mental hospital around medieval year, with history of criminal such as killing both of her parents. Reason for attending mental hospital: several issues of personality disorder, bipolar, and schizophrenia. The report also mentioned the criminal's past which could be a relation to her present state, an alcoholic father who regularly beat her up, mother who wasn't really motherly toward her; who was in fact, the one and only person who sent her to the mental hospital. Criminal's name is revealed to be Kiona.
Recent criminal: hitting a car filled with three members of a family: a father, mother, and son, without any influence of alcohol, revenge or anything else reasonable. Victims are dead immediately.
"You have to get out of there, fast."
Axel hung up the phone, trying to be calm as best as he possibly could. There's a set-loose killer with several issues of mental health in his apartment right at this moment, and is aiming a gun at him as soon after he turned around to face her. Kiona's eyes faintly showing red color, lips spread wide to a creepy smile across her face.
Before Axel could say something else again, she decided to pulled the trigger without thinking anymore.
The fireworks hid the noise well.
Kiona laughs, smiles, and cries. And then she just couldn't stop crying when she starts seeing pool of blood surrounding Axel's body behind the coffee table. She crawled right beside him, lies her head on his chest and keeps crying.
The second fireworks blow. Hiding another sound of a gun being fired.
