Chapter 4: Completing The Answer

The air became hot and the sky was yellow for the reason of the rising flames, I looked around, I picked up my papers and the pictures, and immediately I headed to the burned library; I didn't use my car, I ran as fast as I could and hardly breathing but all of my minds was wishing to arrive at the place and don't find any victims.

Moving my legs and my brown coat was moving with me, wearing my inspector suit and the only thing I had to count on was my gun next to me. I saw the people everywhere watching and not helping; I got rage remembering the scene when Margot died, and memories came to my head, I felt like my heart was going to stop.

I stopped and hold my head, seeing all those memories, my mind was about to explode; my wife, my son, Jessi my best friend. And the pictures of my wife cheating on me were the main cause, I was wondering and screaming in the middle of the road at midnight "Why! Why!" I kneeled and started crying, I had was about to surrender.

In a moment I opened my eyes, I saw Ben beside me and staring at me; for the first time seeing Alvarez was a good thing for me, I didn't feel like it was a nightmare, as usual, he put his hand on my head and said: "why did you kill me?" I descended my head down knowing that's he will not listen to me like always, he repeated "why? I need an answer?"

I got angry and my sad expressions had turned to cold "listen to me carefully, I didn't throw you, you threw yourself, so be responsible for your actions and don't blame me!" he started laughing and singing a rap at the same time

"Mr. Ted Pinkman * brought a blond demon"

He confused me "What are you saying!"

"This my last visit Ted, I tried my best to warn you but you have such a nice heart, so I will give you the last advice; in this world, Evil is decent, Good is decadent… no that's not…" he said like he was searching on the right words, but I got more confused "whatever, listen I'm not allowed to tell you directly the answer�� he closed his eyes and spoke to himself "Think…Think…"

Ben Alvarez; my nightmare for more than 4 years, at that moment he looked like a normal funny teenager, in a few seconds he opened his eyes and told me "Ted do you know chess?"

I nodded "yes"

"What is the first color came to your head when I say chess?" he asked me

And I respond "black and white"

He told me seriously while putting his finger on my chest "make your heart a chess battle, not black but also not white" though he was so serious, I didn't understand a shit.

"My time is over, wish you luck and don't trust… don't trust" he disappeared after giving me many puzzles to solve —I mean what he wanted to say by "Blond demon"— he made me more hesitant, and this time was different it's wasn't an illusion or nightmare but it was more like an inspiration.

I didn't think about it a lot, there was a burning building near me; my headache had gone, when I arrived I found the firefighters and many ambulance vans moving the injured and dead victims, it was a disaster.

I began questioning "Who can do it? Who makes a bomb inside a library; which was celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its creation, and full of plus than 120 men and women, just to play a game?

After 1 hour of stopping the fire, it was the police's turn to go and investigate the cause of that's fire, I was hoping to find some clues inside the library that's might lead me to this criminal.

I showed my badge to the guard policeman who was circling the building with the yellow tape that said "Don't across Crime scene" he allowed me to go through and just before I made a step inside the library I heard someone calling my name, I turned around to see Suho Sora; an arrogant inspector who studied with me at the same high school, "what are you doing here?" he asked me.

"I live here" I answered him while putting my both hands in my pocket; I hated the guy.

"And why you look so dirty man?" he was provoking me and smiling — but that's was true, I looked dirty, after 1 hour of helping to stamp the fire—.

From his girly perfume; he was with a woman. And the sauce blotch; a white chicken sauce with Arabic Couscous, the only restaurant in the city which made Couscous; an especial and unusual place to take a woman on a date to make her feel distinctive. Maybe his wife; but you don't remove your ring when you be with your wife, because he wasn't wearing one.

The respond came to him quickly "well, one-hour fighting fires is better than one hour cheating on my wife"

Widely he opened his eyes; he knew about my abilities, and he said "you mean your dead wife"

I didn't catch up myself, so I punched him directly in the face, and then the cops came to split us up while we were trying to tear each other apart. I never had that's much of anger inside me, and this out of control.

Sunday, September 7, 2020, it was 3:00 in the morning; I was fighting with Suho Sora who passed his limits with me, plus of that, he told me that I'm not allowed to be in that crime scene because the Boss had sent him only to investigate in the case. I knew that describing my situation to him and my needs for this case wasn't an option, so I did call my post president, he liked me and always preferred me; I was a legend, I told him the situation but I didn't mention Todd, he agreed with me in one condition; was that I must inform him about the case and every single detail of its.

I didn't take all the case, I was Suho's partner; that's was awful but I swallowed it.

After finishing my call with the president, I entered the building; all of the walls and the floor were black and dark, I flashed my lamp to see, I went up to the stairs —it was like a scary movie when you heading to the unknown— I remarked something on the walls, so I carefully went near to see "Baaaa!" someone screamed behind me".

It was Suho. "What the heck? What are you doing man?" I asked him and my face turned yellow because I was so scared.

He laughed and said "this my apologies man...for what I said before" —me and Suho hated each other but still, we were at the same side, and the only thing I always like about him that's he never inserts personal business at work—.

I barely finished my answer till he observed something; the same thing I saw it before, "did you see it?" he asked while heading to it.

I nodded with my head. That's thing looked like a horizontal reverse for number 8; like the limits in math.

First, look, it looked like a normal symbol, but for expert eyes, something was different about since it was covered by Aluminum; the best conservator from heat, I removed the cover and gripe the small eight; it's felt like it was a brace for a door, as I pulled the grip, the door opened and it was very old and Uninhabited, we started hearing a talking, and after every step, the voice was getting more clearly "don't come... don't come" it was man's voice who was barely whispering, we finally could hear it and we stopped for a moment.

We looked at each other "what do you think?" Suho murmured.

"We must see what's going on" I answered.

He agreed with me, so we kept going forward until we found another door had also a reverse 8 but this time on the door there was writing which said "Be responsible, Hot is evaporation, Cold is freeze, all reasons and nothing change" my head was full of puzzles, so I didn't have the time for thinking, I turned the handle to open the door neglecting the possible results though my partner was not ok with it after reading the note.
