Chapter 3: Missing People



Somewhere in south america , in a small village

" Uhhhh, is the 77th case just in this town , in a single month . Why are there so many people missing ? Where did they go?" A cop questions himself with frustration.

" They must have k*lled themselves. I mean all of them were depressed and mentally unstable." Another cop spoke with a calm demeanor .

" See that's the problem,why not leave a letter or a message? if everyone dies, where are their bodies ? Why can we not find a single damn body ? It's like they dissolved into the air " the cop questioned him .

" Just close the damn case has a runaway case , we can't close it as s*icide because we don't have any body. We already have a shit load of other cases to do." A police chief said with a bothersome expression.

back in the classroom vin sleeping again as class goes on . No one cares about him in the class because they know what he can do . Usually he is calm and tries to be calm but if he gets enraged they can't stop him . Once he sent a student to the hospital for bullying his sister.

After the class ends he wakes up after everyone has left and on the way to his work, as he walks in the alleyway to shorten the distance for work, he sees a poster, a missing girl. He thinks of her as an angry runaway teen and dismisses the thought and continues to walk.

After a few minutes walk he sees another missing poster this time it's a male, he doesn't think of anything and continues to walk and again he sees another poster, he thinks they are some sort of angry teens or a depressed guys, and wondering if there are some organ harvesting gang or kidnappers, but suddenly vin got confused, they can't be angry teens, depressed people or some organ harvesting gang, because their pattern didn't match . One was a teen girl (19) The second one was an adult male (32) and the last one was an old lady (87). The first two are reasonable, like studies problems, financial crisis or for organs, but an old lady who is about to take off ? Why would she be missing, it's not they can use her organ which is about to expire. while it's common for there to be a missing person, but not like this.

On the first poster there is a reward too, he could use a few bucks. but he can't, it's not like it's his job or he doesn't have leisure time to find missing people, not that he doesn't care about others but he already has plenty of his own problems .

As he was about to move on, he remembers seeing them somewhere, all three of them . but doesn't know who they are or where he has seen them .

He tries hard to remember them but can't, he tries again but to no avail, no matter how hard he tries he can't . but the thing is, vin has absolute memory and understanding. He cannot forget even if he tries to .

Vin got lil tensed up started sweating and feeling anxious, all of a sudden his head feels too much weight , like crazy weight he can't even lift is head up , he tries to sit down and take few relaxing breath, but lays down, curled up hold his head , it's the unbearable pain again. but this time it's quite different .

He is seeing the faces of missing people , not only the three faces of the missing people but rather tens of thousands of them, it's not just their faces but also emotions, his pain started to feel like he was about to explode, like a pressure tank .

Vin did not know how long the time was gone but each second felt like eternity

A black liquid like substance started flowing from his ears, eyes, nose and mouth, like a water leakage. he felt like the world was falling on his head, he could not hear or say anything, he could not even think of anything.

"Thump-thump" a fairly loud sound came from his chest, vin subconsciously placed is hand on his chest . Deep inside his heart or his soul, a pitch black place and teeny tiny bright white lights like the stars in the universe, except there aren't any planets, sun or any galaxies. Deep inside that place, there is an object, a cocoon like thing, covered in black, red and gold silk like threads, and a glowing gold colour like strings connected to the deep into the space, hundreds of them .

A second later the glowing strings snap , a quarter of them, a crack appears on the cocoon and a tiny fragment of the cocoon dissolves into bright light and disappears, vin loses consciousness.

Not too dark in the alley there is a bit of moon light, a man walks into the alley and he sees a body near the wall of a building and fears it as a dead body, he tries to check the pulse, he places his hand on the neck, he felt thick sticky liquid substance thinking it's blood and he's dead, he calls the emergency line . "Hello 911, I think there is a body on the streets nea.....r" " Cough cough " " n-no wait , I think he is alive. Please send the paramedics ."

Vin tries to get up and stand but he's body doesn't even have an ounce of strength, he opens his eyes and he loses consciousness again.

He wakes up in the hospital E.R. he doesn't know where he is but he feels refreshed, later he realises he is in the hospital and startled, he doesn't have the money to pay for hospital bills. Vin picks up his bag pack and checks the corridor if anyone is there. The corridor was empty, he takes the chances and leaves without paying the bills. he checks the time, It's past ten o' clock, he calls the work places and notices them about the situation .

Vin gets to the apartment, throws the bag on the chair and he gets to shower . As he was showering a black liquid started flowing down. He checks the showerhead if something dirty is in there but there was nothing, he sees it flowing from his own body and then he remembers, it's the blood flow from the headache,

" but why is it black …? Damn that headache. " He did not know what was that black liquid or why was the blood black then he gets out of the bathroom after shower, he eat some toast with peanut butter, because thats all he could afford right now, everyday he eat at the restaurant work place but today he couldn't, and goes to bed thinking what happened in the evening. It was quite weird.
