Early morning at 7:00.
John woke up to the sound of his phone's ringing. It's Ramon calling, he immediately answered it. "What's up Ramon?"
"Boss, I just heard a news in the radio this morning that an unidentified dead woman's body had been found in a vacant lot somewhere in Emerald St. The dead body was naked when found and has been in an early stage of decomposition, signs of multiple stab wounds were all over the dead woman's body. According to the police preliminary report, it's rape with a homicide case. The dead body was taken to the nearest morgue waiting for relatives to identify the body. I will go there now Boss to check the body," offered Ramon.
"Wait for me, Ramon. I will just splash some water on my face and have a coffee and we will be going to the morgue together," John responded.
He rose to his feet and entered the bathroom.
Inside the bathroom, he feels like vomiting. The way Ramon's describe the gruesome way the woman died was every husband's worst nightmare.
What if that woman that has been found dead in the vacant lot... was...Catherine?
Damn! As soon as the dreadful thoughts come flooding in his mind, he flushed it out immediately from his consciousness. He refused to entertain that horrifying possibility, it's too much to bear if his wife will die in the same horrible death. He was still 100% sure that Catherine is alive and was being held captive against her will, somewhere...
But if he was indeed right on his guess...
Then, where is Catherine right now?
And who held her captive?
And for what reason and motive she was being abducted?
For now, he needs to get into that morgue and see the decomposing body of that woman with his own eyes, he just wants to be sure that it's not his beloved wife. That's the only way he can have peace of mind and be able to sleep tonight.
He changed into cargo pants, white t-shirt, and black bomber jacket.
When he went to the kitchen to make his coffee, nobody was there, done in making his coffee he took the mug with him and check the ladies. He found them in the living room watching the morning news on TV with baby James wide awake in the arms of Caroline, his proxy mother.
He sipped his coffee while looking at the news.
It's a piece of breaking news featuring the dead woman found in the vacant lot thousand miles away from Infinity Jade Tower.
Minerva and Caroline were looking at each other with a grim expression on their faces.
Done sipping his coffee, John took one last look of his son cradled comfortably in Caroline's arms and went back to the kitchen to put his empty mug in the sink.
He passed by in the living room before going out. "I'm going out ladies, going to the morgue to identify that woman's dead body, let's pray it's not Catherine," he said with a worried look in his eyes.
The women were not able to say anything they were fearful of the possibility.
When John was finally out of the flat...
Caroline was finally able to find her voice. "God, please, hope it's not my sister!" she starts praying fervently towards the heavenly father.
Minerva made a sign of the cross and already starts praying. She suddenly feels a chill running all over her body.
They waited for John's call all morning.
...
When Ramon parked the vehicle in the city morgue's parking area, there are already several people milling inside the reception area, all of them wanting to see and identify the woman's body if she was their missing relatives.
A total of eleven people waiting to see the body.
John was the 11th on the list.
At 10:00, the first person was allowed to see the dead woman. Ten minutes later, that person comes out, another person comes in for their turn to identify the body.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
John and Ramon waited patiently for their turn.
While they were waiting, John was already feeling sick inside, dreading the moment he will lay his eyes on the cadaver, he was so afraid of what he will see. God, please, hope it's not my beloved Catherine! he pleaded to the Almighty Father over and over again.
Ramon was also feeling uneasy, praying to God as well that the dead woman is not Catherine. No matter what happens today, he just has to be in his boss's side to comfort him just in case it's his wife that was lying dead inside the morgue.
Finally, after one hour, it's now John and Ramon's turn.
John was having difficulty breathing while they were walking in the hallway that will lead them to the room where the cadaver was lying on the table. The room was glass-walled and the body can be seen from the outside for viewing purposes without necessarily getting inside the room. John and Ramon were able to see the dead woman's face and body clearly from the outside.
They lingered for ten minutes observing and trying to identify the body...
At this point John knew it's not Catherine, the dead woman's face was still intact and it's not his wife, he was 100% sure of that. He released a deep sigh of relief.
"It's not Catherine, Boss!" exclaimed Ramon.
"Yes I know, it's not my wife. But before we get out of this place, let's offer a prayer first for the dead woman's soul, hope her murderer will be caught soon by the police authority and sent to jail for his crime," John said.
John and Ramon murmured their prayers for the unknown woman's soul to have a peaceful rest in heaven.
