The Murder Case of Erika -Part 2 (Erika's Ghost and Her Friend) The Revelation

In a certain police station, a police officer was interviewing the woman named Marge. She went there to report a certain crime she'd witnessed. She saw the incident and gave the details to the police but she couldn't identify the suspect, the killer was unknown to her.

Erika's ghost continued to roam around in the places where she usually went through everyday when she's still alive. Then she went to her school where she could find her classmates, close friends, and teachers. She went to the school library and she saw one of her closest friends, a guy named Mark. She's invisibly following him and stayed beside him for a long time silently.

Until one day, Mark felt something strange and he could feel her presence. He could see her now, in a way no Science could explain. He'd a strong connection to her, she was her closest good friend.

He saw the helpless ghost of her friend, and he's not afraid at all. He wanted to help her and let her troubling soul be in rest.

Erika wanted to tell him everything, but she could not utter some words or give all the details at that time but only to show him everything where it happened. She led the way out from the library and brought him to some sort of dining area inside the campus.

They arrived in a fine restaurant and some of the waiters were all standing outside ready to welcome all their customers and well-to-do clients.

Erika's ghost went through the door and invisibly passed through the tables and chairs without making any noise nor touching even the tables' surfaces. Mark just followed her where she went through. Until they arrived at the very end of that large restaurant, it's situated in the very dark corner. Mark felt strange, that place gave him goosebumps. He felt something bad things had happened there, the place was emitting some sort of dark energy. He was so hesitant to go on, he's a little afraid to discover something. But Erika was waiting for him, she waved at him to come, so he did.

Suddenly, he'd seen everything, he was shifted back to the time when the crime occurred. Erika was sitting in a group with her classmates when a white, big, fatty guy came in. He was leading a group of male students, wearing a white shirt with a devious smile on his face. They were known to be the bully in school, and part of the well known, who belonged to a rich family. He was known as Mr. Brown, the leader of the bully group.

Mr. Brown happened to pass by in Erika's group and he'd noticed her. He gave a spiteful remark to her. She was insulted and shamed by that bully guy in the school.

Then, Mark saw in a vision another scene. Erika was tortured by that guy. Erika's hands, legs and all throughout her body were all tortured cruelly, mercilessly by that psychotic guy.

Then, the visions stopped. Mark saw everything that had happened to Erika. And suddenly he'd heard some footsteps heading to the direction where he stood. As he looked back he saw that grinning devious face of the killer.

He ran fast as he could until he came to a narrow way, a dark alley.

There he found out that there's a secret door hidden in that place. The narrow door leading outside to a different place.

He came to a certain site and found some girls that were also victims of that guy. They were captured by that guy also. He asked them and they told him the truth. They gave him all the masks concealed by that evil guy. They asked him to help them. He received all the masks they gave and all of them went away, hurriedly found a way out.

He needed to run away this time. Carrying all the masks, he ran fast as he could until he arrived at a narrow hole going upward. He needed to climb upward to reach for that narrow opening. He's about to climb when Erika's ghost appeared. Her ghost was so sad as if crying for help. He slowly walked forward to reach for her and put both of his two hands in her shoulders, grasping her tight. "I believe in you. I'll do my best to help you."

Then he went on, climbing upward. Mark fell on his first attempts to climb upward, he kept on falling downward back to where he came from. When suddenly, he'd heard footsteps that were fastly approaching. With all his might, he climbed forcefully and successfully reached the narrow opening above and he hurriedly went out from that narrow pit.

He ran away without looking back carrying all the evidence. He climbed to an upper place, it's an overpass, and continued running. As he looked below, he saw an armored vehicle that was fastly approaching directly below him. He knew that vehicle, the driver was one of his comrades. As the vehicle situated directly below him, the top suddenly gave an opening, it opened like an automatic door above the ceiling of that vehicle. Then, he saw someone waved at him and called him to jump. Without any ado, he jumped unto it and safely landed inside of that armored vehicle.

But the evil guy saw him, he also rode to his batmobile car hurriedly, chasing the armored vehicle that was ahead of him. That evil guy was like a batman in his batmobile car, and he was Mr. Brown.

Mr. Brown tried hard to catch Mark yet Mark's group was leading fast to a certain place he could hardly catch.
