Chapter 5 The siren

i had hoped the siren was just passing by, maybe, just a patrol check, but i was shocked to see it coming towards the house.

a chill ran down my spine. Whoever had kept this corpse here had alerted the police, and I started to panic, thinking about my disabled sister, my father in the hospital, and everything else, while my legs were shaking.

“This isn’t the time to panic. Help me clean this up. If we are caught here with this corpse, we are dead,” he said as he held Bjorn's dead hands, dragging his body out of the room.

I could see numerous punch wounds all over his body, and I knew he had been beaten to death in a way that would implicate the Phantom. Without saying a word, I rushed to grab a random cloth, cleaning the traces of blood on the dark ground, thankful that it was a dark tile. The sirens were getting closer, and my heart was beating faster. The Phantom came into the room and looked at me.

“Undress,” he said, and I looked at him as if he were insane. What on earth was he talking about?

“You're mad if you think I would do that. We have the police coming here any minute. Do you think this is a time for games?” I snapped at him, and he looked at me.

“We have to make this scene more believable than ever. Whoever told them the news, they will be coming with an arrest warrant. They will search this place, and you know what will make them very uncomfortable to search here? It’s us having a thing when they walk in here, so fucken undress!” he snapped at me, and I knew it made sense; he wanted me to pretend to be his lover.

If the police saw we were having sex before they came, it would make them redundant to search well, and that would be an advantage to get rid of them.

“no..we can do this without me taking off my clothes”i said, trying to evade such an embarrassing moment, he looked at me enraged.

“Do as I tell you, or I'm handing you over for trespassing, as the distraction to evade the police”he threatened, and I knew he was serious, he had not one look that proved he was just joking and I knew I better do as he wanted , else I was so cooked.

“You're watching me,” I snapped at him. He glared at me as he turned away from me,I reached forward to remove my clothes.

I can’t believe I’m doing this. This was supposed to be a quiet talk, and now I’m stuck in a crime. I removed my well-tailored skirt and my suit jacket, and soon I stood in my panties and bra, making sure to shield myself.

The police were now outside the gate and The phantom turned to look at me, he didn't spare a glance at me as he picked up my clothes.

“The bra and panties too.”he snapped in a hurry and I looked at him in horror, 

And my heart skipped a beat as the door bell rang..

“Fucken hurry!!”he snapped at me, as he turned, I removed my underwear, leaving me naked, but he didn't turn to look at me, he got the panties and  the clothes from me.

“Wrap yourself with the bed sheet, and make this believable, and do not fucken panic, or you’ve doomed us both" he said as he rushed out of the room , i did as i was told, then the door bell rang again, my heart beat like a drum.

I could hear the door open, I didn't know where he had hid the body , but I had hoped it was believable, and worse still the body wasn't found.

I rushed out of the room, as I watched , the phantom wide back covering the doorframe.

“I'm sorry,I was busy, with some…uh activities,what seemed to be the problem?”he asked the men as I stood there watching , trying as much as possible to steady my heart beat.

“There seems to be a report about some suspicious activities in this premises”the officer said and I held myself bound,not wanting any panic to show on my face, if i fucked this up then i was  screwed.

“What suspicious activities?”he asked.

“Someone said there seemed to be a fight here,one that led to the death of ... .the other  and we have a warrant to search this premises” the officer said and the phantom signed, as he looked back at me, gesturing with his hands for me to come forth.

As I took a step , I noticed my clothes littering the hallways like a trail, and I caught sight of my panties, and bra, which made me enraged but I stepped forward, 

These fucken bastards made a trail with my undies. I would have screamed at him, if not for the presence of the police officers, not wanting the policeman to be suspicious of any activities.

“Come here baby, let the police man have their search”he said , as I walked closer to him with a bright smile on my face, as I fell into his arms.

“Ohh it seems we had interrupted you, we will be done,in a moment"the second officer said for the first time and I giggled, as we moved aside and let them in.

I watched the Phantom's eyes narrow as they walked in, I knew for sure, there would have been problems,if we hadn't let the police do their search I stood by his side.

With a smile on my face.

“Do you have a CCTV camera, we would love to see it”one of the officers ask , and the Phantom left my side while i stood there with, a bed sheet wrapped round my body, i have never been so humiliated, as I bent down to pick up my bra and panties while he left.

“The CCTV camera was damaged, a few days ago, i haven't had a time to restore it”he said

the officers nodded as they went along to look at each room the house was just a two bed room flat, cozy and beautiful

“May I ask, who reported this?”The phantom asked the officials who looked at each other, as if communicating silently.

“Several anonymous calls,it seemed it must have been pranks, kids, they never know when to stop playing”one of the officials said as he let out an awkward laugh,frustrated as he stepped out of the house. I stood aside, as the second one stopped  and looked around one more time.

Then smiled at us, i knew by his look he was up to something messy, he probably was paid to be here.

“Well it seems we have the wrong information,but we would love to ask some quick questions.”he laughed away, probably trying to be friendly.

“Sure go ahead” the Phantom said , the officer brought out a small paper as he wrote.

“Whats your name? ”He asked.

“Logan wolfe" Logan responded , as he stood there and watched the man write, on the paper.

“And what about your friend over there?”he asked, pointing at me, as I clutched my undies tighter......
