The next morning when I drove to work, I saw some police cars and a wide yellow tape wound around the area. Media vans and TV reporters swarmed the premise.

What the hell happened here?

The sun was coming down too harshly; I retrieved my sunglasses and wore them, that way no one would find out who I was staring at. I glanced up towards the troublemaker window, Jackson was staring right at me, he smiled and waved. I didn’t bother waving back. He was back in his old room.

I approached towards the entrance slowly. Paul appeared to be stressed and talking to a police officer who was scribbling something on a memo, his co-worker sipping on a latte. I entered the hospital building to find all the nurses being questioned.

A group of people had already crowded the elevator area so I decided to take the stairs. I climbed up, two at a time when Marvin almost crashed into me on the third level. He grabbed both my shoulders as if stopping me from walking further. His face looked like he’d seen a ghost. “You might want to turn back and leave.”

“What happened?” I asked.

Marvin let go of me as I walked further. There were photographers outside a room, their cameras flashing with an intensity. I saw Aaron speaking to the officers. His forehead creased into a worried line. I felt bad for him, it seemed like Aaron hardly got any rest and that was one reason why he never dated normally like other men. Just then his eyes narrowed down on me and a line of relief crossed his face.

I walked further towards them and I placed my hand on Aaron’s shoulder. “What’s going on?”

He didn’t answer, just continued to stare at the people around us. It was unlike Aaron to be this disturbed about something.

“That room? What’s in there? Why are the police here?” I asked him.

“Riley, don’t!” He called out to me but it was too late. I stepped aside, walking towards the room and I knew that the scene before my eyes would haunt me from this day forward.
