Pulling down the shutter of the cafe, Thea heads for her home. She catches a bus home. Skimming through latest news, she sighs. There's no lead on Alex's case. As she gets to her stop her phone rings.

Uk/n: Long time no talk Thea. Hope life's going good. We'll meet soon. (Call ends)

Thea: Wtf was that, hello. hello. ugh

She tries calling again. "The number you have called does not exist. Please check the number."

She enters her home and tries to call the number again. But to find the same answer. She thinks it must be her crazy brother, a computer genius playing prank as always.

Next day she receives a text as she cleans the counter of her cafe.

Uk/n: You seem to enjoy your job. By the way you look cute in that apron.

Thea freaks out and turns around to see if someone is there but no one. Then another text.

Uk/n: You can't see me, but I can see you. I liked y

ou back then. Let's meet tomorrow I'll bring you a gift.

Thea ignores the text and tries to block the number, to no avail.

The next day no one comes to visit her and she completely forgets about the creepy number.

She's about to close the cafe when she sees a shadowy figure run across the counter. She reaches out for the counter to find a bouquet of lilies on top with a little card reading. "As I promised, for you." Thea smiles and thinks it's her secret admirer. But behind the card there is another note. "There's another, behind you." She slowly turns behind....

Next day

"Yesterday, at cafe Muse a passerby heard a shrill scream, he went inside to find the cafe owner dead in a pool of blood with a knife dug into her heart. Beside her was a bouquet of lilies also drenched in blood. The victim is identified to be Thea Grey, the cafe owner. According to reports the weapon is a boning knife with no finger prints. This is a second murder this month. Police has refused to give any statement regarding the case. We advise citizens to stay alert.

This is reporter Sage reporting 4'o clock Hot from channel Newman Station 29."

**Last text-

"I liked you back then, hope you liked my gift**."
