Revenge After Death

"Leo..." I rushed back to the garden and inquired Leo about Steven's whereabouts. But I didn't know sign language, so I could only gesture.
Leo appeared to have noticed my nervousness, so he pointed at the backyard. I took a deep breath, turned around, and dashed towards the backyard.
The backyard was vast and empty, yet Steven was still nowhere to be found. I had expected to find him in the basement, at that secret base, yet it was also empty. When I came out, I discovered Steven in the corner. He curled up next to the dog cage, cradling Stevie in his arms.
He appeared to be talking to Stevie, murmuring, "Stevie, she doesn't want me anymore..."
I approached him step by step until I was standing right in front of him. "So dirty."
Steven did not raise his head and continued to hold Stevie tightly, his voice trembling with choked sobs. "You don't want me anymore..."
I attempted to speak, yet no words escaped my lips.
"Steve, I'm exhausted," I whispered.
Steven glanced up at me with guilt in his eyes. "I'm sorry."
He seemed to be good at apologizing.
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
"I should not imprison you, should not hurt you, or tie you up," he replied softly.
"Did you really imprison me, hurt me, and tie me up?" I asked him, frowning.
He glanced down and nodded in agreement. I fell silent, unsure of the extent to which his words held truth and which were mere lies.
He stood up and followed me. "Stephie, I'm afraid you'll leave me. I'm sorry..."
"If you don't tell me the truth, I will leave you even faster. Let's watch the
surveillance footage and find out who went to see the murderer who committed suicide by jumping off the building," I whispered as I wearily made my way to the basement.
Steven followed me closely, reaching out his hand and firmly gripping my wrist. "You go and take some rest. I'll search for it. Once I've found it, I will make a copy and show it to you." Sla*th the (ind) vel.not website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I stopped. It would be good too.
"Steve, there are many issues we need to solve." I glanced at him, yearning for him to abandon his concealed self-interest.
Steven said nothing, and I turned and left.
Steven replied softly, "Everyone has their own secrets and things they want to protect. Stephie, I'm sorry."
My eyes were bloodshot, and I gazed back at him. "Are the things you protect more important than me?"
Steven clenched his fists. "Stephie, the one I protect is you."
I averted my gaze, refusing to entertain his nonsense. Upon returning to the room, I lay on the bed tiredly and closed my eyes.
"Stephie is the murderer... Stephie is the murderer..."
"
I couldn't understand why, but Carol's words continued to echo in my mind. "Stephie is the murderer."
I opened my eyes irritably and stared at the ceiling, breathing rapidly. What on earth had I forgotten?
