6 Dead Body (2/2)
The phone was promptly hung up and the others seemed beside themselves.
They were closing in on me, seeming unsure of why I had pulled out the phone. They had heard snippets of the conversation, but I didn't know how much, so I approached them cautiously.
Before they could make their way the man, I blocked their way and pushed them back.
”You can't help.” Was all I said.
”What is going on?” The little vlogger from earlier, Suzy, mumbled.
I was tempted to ignore her, but it was becoming harder to keep them away.
”The police are on their way. Make your way out if you don't want to get caught for trespassing.” That seemed to wake them up.
”What the fuck?”
”You bitch, why did you call the cops?”
I figured that it would be the best way to fend them off of venturing into dangerous places on silent nights.
”The man's dead. Killed by someone. I just reported it.” I looked around to see the look on their faces. The fear in the atmosphere was palpable, but so was the gleam of fascination. Some of the boys were still filming, and I was not amused.
”Stop filming and get out of here. It is not a pretty picture.” I heard Suzy laugh at the words and wondered how stupid she had to be to think that I was joking about a person's death.
”Miss Vlogger. If you post that shit on YouTube or even look at it long enough to let your brain process the scene, you will not be capable of sleeping without consulting a psychiatrist. I am politely asking you to get the fuck out before you face the consequences of recklessly throwing yourself into 'adventure' that you are not capable of mentally or physically handling.”
The others stared in horror. If it was because of the harshness of my words or the amount of it, I did not know. It was probably the most they had heard me speak since I joined them in exploration.
”You seem fine with it,” she replied snottily.
I snorted.
If she had witnessed even one percent of what I had, she would have jumped from a building moaning about how unfair life was and how changed it had left her.
I was tempted to drag her by the arm and let her see the bloating face of the man. But I wouldn't wish that upon anyone... at least when they were not expecting it.
