Delivery Service

I exit the examination room. It is the last day of the academic year. I head off home. Someone shouts at me. Dave: "Hey! Where are you going?" MC: "I am going to work." I work at Oeuvre. Oeuvre is a famous company. It provides ride-sharing and food delivery. I work in the latter. Dave: "You usually hang out with us after class." MC: "Let me think about it." [[I go.]] [[I do not go.]]

MC: "I am not going." Dave: "Will you still hang out in the holidays?" MC: "I will see for when the time comes." Dave: "See you later then!" The night has come. A notification pops up on my phone. A good order is made. It pays well. It is nearby. I press I will pick it up. I am in front of the customer's house. This is where I drop off the good order. I walk towards the door. I notice the door is open. MC: "Hello?" MC: "Oeuvre delivery!" No one responds. I hear a weird noise from inside. I walk inside. I see a man lying unconscious. I immediately call emergency services. I notice something sticking out of his shirt pocket. [[I inspect it.]] [[I do not inspect it.]]

It is the man's business card. He is Oeuvre's CEO. The ambulance arrives. He is taken away. I fill out the report. I answer a few questions. A few months pass. Something strange is happening. Oeuvre higher-ups are dying. All of them have the same cause of death. They say it was food poisoning. The public has picked up on it. I take matters into my own hand. I investigate. [[I go to Oeuvre's headquarters.]] [[I go to the former CEO's house.]]

The ambulance arrives. He is taken away. I fill out the report. I answer a few questions. A few months pass. Something strange is happening. Oeuvre higher-ups are dying. All of them have the same cause of death. They say it was food poisoning. The public has picked up on it. I take matters into my own hand. I investigate. [[I go to Oeuvre's headquarters.]]

The lobby is huge. People are jostling about. I struggle to get through. I make my way to the front desk. I tell them about the chain of events. They dismiss it as pure coincidence. ''The End''

The house looks the same as ever. I walk up to the door. Ren: "What are you doing here?" MC: "Who are you?" Ren: "Ren, giving a friend's wife a visit." MC: "Someone still lives here?" Ren knocks on the door. An anxious lady peaks out from behind. Anxious Lady: "Shoo! Get away!" Ren: "It seems she is still distraught." Ren sighs turning to me then walks away. I step up to the door. MC: "What is your relationship with Ren?" Anxious Lady: "He killed my husband." I am stunned by this response. She slams the door before I could ask. [[I secretly enter the house.]] [[I walk away alone.]]

MC: "I will go." Dave: "Sweet!" The night has come. We are eating dinner at a local restaurant. I hear my home town mentioned. It is coming from the television. A corpse was found in one of the homes. The cause of death was ruled as food poisoning. That is a shame. I go back to eating. ''The End''

I jump over the backyard's fences. I enter through the open back door. I tiptoe into one of the rooms. I open one of the drawers. A file has "Oeuvre" written on it. I take it and quietly escape. I am home. I read it. Oeuvre has a cover-up. An Oeuvre worker was delivering food. This person worked for Oeuvre to stalk someone's address. This person stabbed this someone upon arriving. Oeuvre missed this person's criminal history. Oeuvre offered the victim's husband money for silence. I look at the name of the victim's husband. "Ren". [[I bring this to the police.]] [[I do not bring this to the police.]]

I sigh turning away. Many questions are still buzzing in my head. ''The End''

The case gets escalated to court. Ren receives the public's sympathy. Oeuvre's reputation takes a big hit. Oeuvre eventually gets shut down as a result. Something tells me that justice has not been fully served. I will never know for sure. ''The End''

I search up what the Oeuvre higher-ups were poisoned from. They are all the same thing. It is a long complicated scientific name of a chemical. It is safe to eat but too much can cause death. The name is familiar. This chemical is often used in food. It was also in the food delivered to Ren's wife. I search up Oeuvre's position hierarchy. The people at the top are already eliminated. The next person is the general counsel. The time period between the deaths is exactly thirty days. The next date is today. I show up at the general counsel's house at night. I got this address through open-source intelligence. I have called the police beforehand as a back-up. I am recording footage with my camera. A shadow passes me as I am in hiding. It is Ren. I follow him closely. He blatantly opens the front door with presumably stolen keys. I see him opening a packet into a pot in the kitchen. The police suddenly bust through. Police: "You are under arrest." Ren: "What for?" [[I come out.]] [[I do not come out.]]

MC: "You have been caught, Ren." MC: "I know your motive." Ren takes a kitchen knife from behind. Ren hurls it towards me. I touch the side of my neck. Blood is gushing out. A knife is lodged in my neck. I collapse. I see the police pinning down Ren. I see paramedics rushing me out. The case gets escalated to court. Ren goes to jail for a lifetime. Unfortunately for me, my findings about Oeuvre were never found. I guess Dave can hang out with someone else in the holidays. ''The End''

I wait until the police escort Ren outside. I present my findings to the police as well. The case gets escalated to court. Ren goes to jail for a lifetime. Oeuvre's reputation takes a big hit. Oeuvre eventually gets shut down as a result. Unfortunately for me, I have to find another job. At least I can still hang out in the holidays with Dave. ''The End''
