The Accident Part 4

Part 4

I spread out the linen carpet on the scraped out wooden flooring. 

Pin thick clothes around the area over the broken window. 

Rearrange the books which were thrown down the shelf.

Try to draw off the now permenant red marks from the wall.

Someone vandalized my apartment after I went searching Carrie's home. But by the chaos created by the someone here, it looks like they were searching the same thing I went out searching for.
The file. Thankfully, my laptop is still here. Under the bed.
Some thieves are thick as blunt knives.

I straighten up the scroll and strain my eyes to see what's in there, and its...-
Moana Bridge. 20.04. Bus of 40 people. All gone. But one lasts.

It looks like a newspaper heading. Must be of the day after the accident. Its a small scroll. Nothing more.
I open up the file and my hands are still bloody. I wash them first after opening up the file again.

The file's a thick and large one. Its a whole account of the accident. The newspaper cuttings contain the 'what happened', 'consequences', and the details of the people who were on board the bus etc. Seems like the max people on the bus were in their teenagers or less. There were 31 of them including me. Which leaves 5 people in their 20s and rest 4 the aged ones.

There's a pinned up map too of the routes taken by the bus before reaching Moana and ending there. Did the bus pass through....blackwoods???
I run to my brother and ask him while he was in a crucial stage in a gamezone -"There are 3 ways to reach Moana Bridge from Demy Town bus stand, right?"
"Yeah", he says nonchalantly, he's slithering, confused, in a farm.
"And people mostly choose the Jade street one, right, cause its safer and the nearest one? Since there were mostly teenagers in the bus after all."
"Absolutely"
"Then why did the bus took the Maple Street road? When there's a graveyard even around the route. And blackwoods!! The biggest RED FLAG!! You are aware of the stereotype of there, no?"
"Yeah, people never come back once they go inside."

Carrie had said 'and bodies were lifted'....I run back to my room and open the file. Flip..flip..flip....

Carrie didn't investigated the postmortem reports. I thought since she was a science student.

I hit the door again.
"Can you think of a reason why the bus didn't took another route?"
"No idea, but people take bad decisions when they are need of one." And he kills an inhabitant of a house he was uninvited to.
"Ugh. I think we should visit the hospital where the dead bodies are taken."

My brother drives so rash, I was about to puke if we had reached late.
"You wait here", my brother says stepping afore.
"Why?"
"They won't let a 14 year in. A science expedition like this doesn't needs this much young people. I should talk see if there's anyone going on."
Well, I didn't know that.
He comes out in a black mood. "They aren't letting in anyone. It's not allowed. All sealed. "
"We will have to sneak in then." I say as if it's easy.
"Are you sure?" "More than I ever was."
And we get in through a window. The hospital has set low bars, no use of restrictions. But only senses.
And i cut my knee as i hopped on.

I take out the carriers one by one. I haven't done this before ever. And if I had to tell you, its AWE..SOME. I like creepy things.

The dead bodies look so frozen. It's almost like they're alive by their sheet curves, only asleep. This place actually smells like the kind of cold smell you get in an ice factory. It's not that disgusting but yeah, a little rotten.

And the thing Carrie predicted or noticed, is now proved. The queer.

Its short but so shocking.

I slip off the white sheet from all of their faces one by one, in case anything's gone. And.
Nothing's real.
Even.
They're...dolls.
Someone framed it all.

"Someone's coming.." i hear a voice round my ears. I look back and there's no one but someone is coming. I undo my actions and slip out the window in time. The door of the postmortem room opens and we leave slithering along the bushes, with me wondering if that voice, have I heard it before?


Part 5 coming soon
