The suspects
It all started that day, in the sweltering heat of mid-April. I was waiting for her at our meeting spot when the unthinkable happened.
She fell from the top container, disappearing behind the bottom row. I was stunned, frozen for a moment before I came to my senses and tried to call an ambulance, but there was no signal.
I ran, calling for help as I went. As I ran, I heard footsteps coming from all around, echoing between the containers. It seemed I wasn't alone at this meeting spot, there were others.
We met in the middle, where we thought the woman had fallen, but her body was nowhere to be found. All of us, me and the strangers, had seen the same thing: a woman falling from a height. But when we ran to the scene, her body had vanished.
After searching for the woman for a while, in every nook and cranny of the container-filled area, and still not finding her, I came to a conclusion.
Someone among us must have taken her body.
