Chapter 25: CHAPTER 25: The Apartment’s Incident

"You really follow me that instant, huh?", Harvey asked while sipping the milk tea.

"Yeah, after I was being blamed, I instantly leaped that sealed Kahuna's black hole.", Mickey replied.

They enjoyed eating the food in the living room when suddenly, there was a rumbling of people outside the apartment. It was already night and it was supposed to be solemn but the people outside were very noisy. So, Harvey quickly walked toward the window since the view outside was the entrance and the garden. The tenants were gathering on the ground and were very chaotic.

"What happened to our apartment?", the woman asked with a trembling voice.

"I don't know. It just happening there.", the man beside her replied while staring at the ground.

The environment outside was dark and only the lights on the apartment's terrace were shining. There was also a big tree so Harvey can't verify the cause of the gathering there. So, he quickly got out of his room and ran outside. There Mickey was left behind, he was confused by what happened too. Then, he also followed Harvey rushing away.

Harvey was panting after he had reached the crowd. The other tenants saw him and said, "Someone died."

Still, in heavy breaths, Harvey was taken aback. He wiped his sweat and asked, "Who died?".

Behind, Mickey was already there. The tenants saw the other man who didn't know him so their eyes widened in surprise. Mickey stared at the people who were looking at him intentionally and since he was embarrassed, he quickly hid behind Harvey. He held Harvey's arm and his hands were very cold. Then he whispered behind, "Harvey, they are looking at me. What do I need to do?".

Harvey smiled and said to the tenants, "He is my brother and a shy person. He doesn't like being stared so he said keep your eyes away from him." The tenants laughed and forgot what had happened earlier. They quickly nodded in understanding and finished their business. Harvey was still confused so he asked again, "Who died?".

Mickey who was behind him, quirked his ears and asked, "There's someone died?"

Harvey who was still waiting for answers from other tenants, replied to Mickey, "Maybe. We need to ask."

Later, the old lady that was the original owner was there standing on the porch of the ground floor. She was awakened by the loud voices of the people outside. She was still wearing a nightgown which can be described as a seductive dress. Harvey and Mickey were the first people to notice the old lady. Mickey giggled after seeing the old lady's nightgown and murmured, "What a shame?". Harvey heard and saw Mickey who was silently teasing the old lady, he said, "Mickey, put your behavior in the right place. She is the owner."

Mickey swallowed his saliva after hearing Harvey. He fell silent and didn't utter a word anymore. The people with them were still in chaos and haven't noticed the owner. While they were talking about what had happened, suddenly, the old lady screamed. "Quiet." Tenants who were blabbering immediately shut their mouths. They faced the porch and saw the old lady in a seductive dress. Their minds were chaotic but after seeing the old lady, they were already silently laughing.

The big man who wore a shirt said, "Madame. There's someone who died."

"Then? What are you shouting for? Call the police.", the old lady demanded.

The crowd was blank and didn't have time to call the police after knowing the news. What they were doing was talking and blabbering in the middle of the garden. Mickey noticed the old lady's attitude so he swallowed his saliva again. Harvey who was near the old lady wanted to ask her but that landlady was glaring at him.

Harvey wanted to know who was that person that died but the people can't give him answers. Beside him, was the young woman, whose face was still covered by a facial mask, who uttered, "That old lady had something." Harvey heard her and questioned, "What do you mean?". The young woman was taken aback when her words were being heard. She defended, "Don't tell her, huh? I saw her yesterday with a young man. They somewhat having fun. I think that boy is the old lady's date.", she swallowed his word while telling the story to Harvey.

"Where is that young man now?", Harvey asked the young woman.

"I don't see him today.", that young woman said while fixing his hair.

"Who died?", Harvey asked her directly.

"That old lady's husband.", the young woman replied.

"Where is he now?", Harvey was still confused.

"They're in room 13. I remember that Mr. Lydio was cleaning that room since it was already dusty. I met him on that day and he even smiled at me.", she told the story to Harvey.

Harvey fell silent after what he had heard. His room was number 14 and the one where Mr. Lydio had died was just beside his room. He didn't smell the stink in that room but then behind there was someone who died. Room 13 was since been locked after the tenant living in that room, had already gone back to his hometown. Harvey was not knowledgeable about that history. Other old tenants just told him about it.

"How did you discover him?", Harvey after a long silence, then asked again.

"That old lady screamed at room 13. But, we thought that was just something fun. Then, we just ignore it.", she responded.

"Then? After?", Harvey took a sit on the bars around the garden. Mickey was not there anymore so he just let that man wherever he wants to go.

"We discovered him this night. When one of the tenants who wanted to visit his friend in the end room, noticed something crashing at the door. Then that had happened. He opened the door and he saw that landlady's husband hanging.", young woman sweated violently after telling.

Mickey was already back and approached Harvey and the young woman. He said while laughing, "My stomach hurts in this critical moment. I took time in the bathroom."

Harvey frowned while staring at Mickey and continued the conversation with the

young woman, "Miss, what crashing you mean?"

"There was a ghost there. That old lady's husband was haunting her.", the young woman whose name was Jessica answered with a trembling voice.

While they were talking, the tenants were very silent. Some went back to their rooms and some just stayed where they were waiting for the police. A few moments later, the siren of the police car was very audible. Those tenants who were very silent straightened their bodies and gathered around the gate. The police approached them and asked, "Good evening, madams and sirs. May I know where is the crime scene?"

Harvey approached and answered the police, "Sir, that dead person was still inside this apartment, room 13. We have no

courage to check it up."

The policemen went inside the apartment and inspected room 13. Those tenants were also curious about what was inside since they were very scared earlier and didn't dare to check it. The room was very quiet and dark. When the policemen took inside, they were surprised when they saw the man hanging on the chandelier. His eyes were bulging and that incident was very disturbing. Those tenants watched it from the door and then they widened their eyes in surprise. Harvey who was behind also smelled the corpse stink.

One of the policemen said, "He had already died for 12 hours. Interrogate that people outside." That chief police demanded on his fellows. He was suspecting someone in the crowd since that was always the instance. Suspicion can discover everything in a very unique method. That young policeman nodded and approached the tenants standing at the door.

The people at the door noticed the policeman approaching them so they quickly gave way to him. But, Harvey was still standing where he was and faced the policeman. He said, "The owner was on the ground floor. You can interrogate her."

The policeman was amazed by Harvey's words and he suspected this man. So, he came back inside the room and told his chief about Harvey's attitude. So, the chief was looking for Harvey and there he saw him at the door.

"Mister. Are you a tenant here?", the chief police asked. The other tenants were very silent while they were thinking that Harvey will be in trouble. The chief police's eyes were very serious and dominating. On the other hand, Harvey was calm and didn't even tremble. His actions were composed and not suspicious. Harvey replied, "Yes, Mr. Chief. That owner is on the ground floor. She was with her boyfriend." The tenants heard what Harvey said about the old lady's boyfriend

and their faces twitched. They thought that a 65-year-old lady was still playing around.

The chief police demanded his fellows to search the ground floor. Harvey was still there and the police smiled at him and then left for the ground floor. The tenants were intrigued by that old lady's matter. One of the men in the crowd told, "That old lady had something. I was also baited by here. So, disgusting." Others' ears quirked and asked to clear their minds, "Is she doing that kind of vice? You have baited by her? How?"

The tenants eavesdropped on that man who told them that old lady's vices. So, the man was telling the story. That old lady was having a vice. She loved having a lot of love affairs as she wanted to try different kinds of that things. That man sweated while he was discussing that story. Harvey who lain his head on the wall also listened. He wanted to know that old lady. Then suddenly, that man stared at Harvey and said, "You're a very lucky man. You're that handsome but that old lady hasn't done that thing to you." Harvey froze and frowned, "She can't dare to watch my face. Maybe, she will be ashamed.", then Harvey laughed. The tenants also laughed and said, "Yeah. She's ashamed of your beauty."
