Black Butterfly, Where Does the Black Butterfly Go Drink Water - Chapter 2

Black Butterfly, Where does the Black Butterfly Go Drink Water by Beep Beep Beep

Jude remembered the day he arrested him with his arms crossed. They found the corpses in the basement, but Alvin already predicted the police.  When and where he escaped- was the point, and when all the police were looking for his possible hideouts, Jude took his gun with his partner and went to a place where he predicted the crime would happen. In that place, Jude was able to stop the last victim to come out. Alvin Johns was chocking one woman’s neck. A blond young man had a faint smile and put his two hands up.

“That is because…. Before, I read somewhere. Psychopaths don’t stop their crime just because police suspect them. That’s why I went there.”

“But usually people don’t think he would calmly walk around to kill another person when he already got revealed? Then how were you certain that much?”

“Hey hey, I wasn’t certain. I just went thinking maybe you might be there. If I was certain, I probably took whole bunch of police with me.”

“Your eyes weren’t shaking when you saw me. There was no hesitance or fear.”

“That’s because I’m a detective? Do you think I pointed a gun at a criminal once or twice? And in this poor environment?”

“Do you want to know the truth? That time, if you and your partner had single strand of fear in your eyes, I probably would’ve tried to kill you guys. One stab can easily kill a person. If I needed a shield, I could’ve used the woman in front.”

Jude sighed again. Do I have to talk to this guy who says this kind of thing like a textbook for several hours? With this small salary? Why would I?

“But there was nothing in your eyes. You were very composed. ‘I have to catch this guy.’ It was only that. Like watching a today’s TV show like ‘I will watch this today.’ There was nothing else. No anger or fear. That moment I thought I have to get captured.”

“Ah, okay. Thanks.”

“You are similar as me. You look like you are full of feelings, but more than half of them are fake, and actually you don’t really create a deep bond with other people. You are indifferent about getting yourself hurt, and you are a police not because you are full of sense of justice. You are doing it because it’s just a ‘work.’ You didn’t become like me, well, is it because you are lazy?”

That laugh again. Jude shrugged his shoulders and answered insincerely.

“Yeah, I’m lazy. Now tell me where you hid the bodies.”

“After that I observed you closely. Most of the things you say are not sincere. Worrying about someone else, complaining about your situation, it’s just a disguise for other people. That’s why I got interested. Like what is this detective hiding inside of him?”

“Sorry but I’m not complicated enough to hide something. I can’t do it because of headache. If I was that smart, I would’ve done something else. Now, tell me where you hid the bodies.”

“Do you know? I, like you.”

“Yeah, thanks. Now place you hid the bodies.”

“It’s not a joke? I’m serious. It was my first time saying I like someone. Why are you so cold? I’ll get hurt.”

“Mm, get hurt. Now please tell me where you hid the bodies.”

There was a bright laughter, and he didn’t say anything after that. Jude rested his chin on his hand and sent out desperate look to that handsome face. Soon “Aaaaaaah!” there was a horrible scream, and he stood up. He took out a phone from his pocket.

“Tim? Tim! You come in! No, I don’t care! Do you think I will make a difference? Am I a profiler or professional consultant? Send in a professional, professional! I told you to tell Chief like that.”

Jude shouted like he was begging and walked to the door. Behind him he heard a very quiet voice.

“Detective.”

“That’s why, tell Chief directly…… What? Are you gonna tell me?”

The young man smiled once. When Jude thought he was little sick of that smile, he smiled more deeply and said,

“See you again.”

“Call the Chief directly!”

I’m sick of it! –Until he shouted like that to his phone and completely gone from his sight, behind the wall, Alvin didn’t even blink once with his light color eyes.
