CHAPTER 7
Is this a joke! Am I a murderer! I chased this person so hard to find answers and all that only to find out that I am a murderer? What does Mr. X mean by this? How could I kill someone? and why can't I remember a damn thing if I did? I did not experience any black out or felt time lost how did this happen? Considering that Mr. X has been right about everything until now, I started to panic. I started falling into jeopardy. I was going crazy and I really didn't know what to do.
I couldn't sleep the whole night. I was tossing and turning on my bed. Even if I did manage to get a nap, dreams woke me up again. The next morning, I went to the office as usual. Jack was waiting for me on my desk.

Oh ! There he is"
I turned back to see who he was. I couldn't believe my eyes for a moment. Because another person from my dream had come to life. Initially I had my doubts, but on a closer look I was sure, I definitely saw that man in my dreams. My dreams are slowly turning into the reality I never asked for.
Before I could even regain my composure, I saw him walking towards me.
"Hello, I believe you must be Richmond Thawne, the forensic analyst for murder investigation of Steve Spindler. I am Inspector Robert Kocher, NYPD. Nice to meet you!"
"Oh the pleasure is mine. I will try my best to give you the test results as soon as possible"
"Sure thanks. I am...
