Later the day.
~Devin, the elder~
"Please answer your phone. Please Iseult."
Devin, the elder dialed the number of Iseult as the recent one was screened. As he put the phone to his left ear, his right hand was waving down a taxi.
",Drive downtown. I'll wave you stop when I get there."
He looked up quickly from the phone at the backseat at the driver of the taxi who drove off immediately.
"And please drive as quickly as you could. It's very urgent."
He added as the driver increased the velocity. He looked back to his phone. Since all his calls were screened. He resolved for the better option.
He sent a text,
WHERE DID YOU KEEP YOUR PHONE, BABE? GO HOME RIGHT NOW AND HIDE THE BABY. JUST DO AS I SAID, WE'LL TALK WHEN I GET THERE. LET'S HOPE WE'RE THAT LUCKY. ON MY WAY.
And after he pushed the send icon and the message was delivered, the taxi suddenly pulled ov

Same.~The Four~"My mom called me. She was worried about me and told me about the case to scare me to come back home. And she warned that whatever baby I see, no matter how cute, I shouldn't stare right into its face."They all stared at Devin, the younger, as though he was some priest from the Common Era. Evelyn was yet standing at the back of the large sofa, Devin, the elder, seated on the single sofa. Iseult standing in the middle of the set sofa with the baby in her hand. The baby whose slit throat had healed up immediately, but leaving a scar at where the impact was registered. The baby had cooed to sleep.Devin, the elder, said,"If what you said is right. Then, it means that we have two strange babies. And while one is obviously dangerous, the other is considerably harmful."Iseult took her turn, the baby gently clasped to her breast,"Does that mean that the baby who killed Jacob, the priest a

At the Police Station.~The four~"Please point us to the Sheriff please."Devin, the elder called as he led the three into the police station, the baby in his arms, the side of its face pressed to his chest."He's not on seat. How can I help you?"The Deputy sheriff with the name tag, Floyd Marvin said, standing at the door of the sheriff's office."We'd love to address this to the Sheriff directly. This is quite a delicate matter."Marvin's eyes strayed from the baby in Devin's chest to Iseult and Evelyn. As soon as he restored his gaze on Devin, the elder, he asked,"I don't think we have the time for this. The sheriff is busy with the case of the hideous deaths.""What do you mean by this?"Evelyn attacked and Marvin laughed,"Of course family matter. The state is on cautious turn now. The last thing we want is a family matter here."Evel

On the way.~The four~"That was stupid."That was the first group of words to be spoken after ten minutes of silence since they'd been in the car. And twas Devin's words and car. Devin, the elder.The cops had taken the baby from them since it's now a threat to the citizens. And has been isolated, monitored by shifts of Police officers. Though each police officer monitoring was sure not to stare at the baby for long. They only take a glance and look away top quickly.Iseult was almost locked away for harboring such threat in her house but Devin, the elder had pleaded with the Sheriff to let her off the hook, claiming that there were a lot of things tied to the events.He had promised the Sheriff to get to the root of it all, but all he could do at that moment was scold Iseult with words."What did you say?"Iseult turned to him. She was seated next to him at the front. D

On the way.~The four~"Okay, let's get all our points clear."Devin Snr started. He was yet the one driving. Devin Jnr was seated beside him, Iseult and Evelyn at the back seat.Amongst all the positive things happening at the moment was the calm atmosphere. Twas rather different from the tense and worked up like the previous day's."There are two babies."He looked through the rearview mirror after those words at the sisters. What was he expecting? Probably they were going to add to what he had said?He continued when he got no precise reaction,"One is in the care of the Sheriff back in Winchester. The other is on a run, catching the cruise of a serial killer.""Baby on the run?"Devin Jnr teased, but nobody fleshed the joke. Devin Snr looked back at the sisters again. At the moment, Evelyn had her head on the right shoulder of Iseult. Quite a remote wonder you'd thi

Sheriff's Office.~The Sheriff and the Devins~"Well, it all started as a bit of a convo, before it derails into ermm... an argument. And then it heated till it went out of hand."The Sheriff paused for a while. His face was an epitome of the multitudinous emotions he could not find words for. He leaned forward in the chair, thrusting his frame forward like he would offer his body like a burnt offering to the two Devins. He further expatiated, like a priest would break the bread for blessed communion."Okay. It went... Hey, Sheriff, information got to us about some baby locked away here. At first we dismissed it almost immediately because that was more than ridiculous. But then, the news kept building, so we had no choice but to come check out."The Sheriff, having pretended to be one of the GCA's officials switched to his part,"Well, gentlemen and women. I can't say you heard wrongly. But not all the inform

Detroit. Crime Scene.~The four~"Will you two stay in the --""No, thank you."Both Evelyn and Iseult had cut Devin Snr short of the clumsy offer. Evelyn was the first to get the door before the rest. Devin Snr smiled softly at her reaction and nodded at Devin Jnr who was beside him. They stepped out too."Please let's us... uhmm, think of the best way to approach this. I'll go inside the building and have a small talk if possible to figure out if it was the same process. None of you should make an attempt of coming... are we clear?"He nodded in question. While Iseult gave her regular indifferent reaction, Evelyn grudgingly seconded. Devin Jnr hardly took note of the said. His face was glued to the reporters who were clicking constantly at the flagged front of the house.Devin Snr's car Maybach was parked few metres away from the building, across the road."So, you mean we're

Same.~Terror~"Hell. For a moment I thought my heart will jump out of my chest or through my lungs."Mr Morgan laughed, holding the baby in his hands as he made it sit on the table, facing him."Mr Morgan, hand the baby over here. It's not just any kind of baby."Devin Snr urged as he moved closer to Mr Morgan, who kept breaking eye contact with the baby, as he looked away from the baby to Devin Snr occasionally."Don't be silly, man. This must be one of the babies of one of the female staff. The baby must be looking for its mom."Mr Morgan maintained his argument as he looked away from Devin Snr again, holding the baby's balance on the edge of the table. He looked back at cooing baby but Devin Jrn came on,"Come to think of it, Uncle. Was this baby here when we came in?"Mr Morgan shook his head,"I don't think so, but that's not the point."Devin Jnr continued

Somewhere in Detroit.~The four~"I guess we should say that the baby has a scale of preference."Devin Snr started, then continued,"Originally I thought -- we thought the baby only kills through the head. But it seemed like the head seems like its favorite part of the body?"He paused to think for a while at the possibility of sense in what he had just said. But Evelyn derailed,"Could we stop calling that monster a baby already?"Iseult shot her a quick glance and looked away. There was little she could do at that moment.Since Iseult hardly had a thing to say to that, Evelyn had a shot to keep abreast her point,"I have a thought."She paused, thinking of a possible way to direct the words to accurately justify her intention. As soon as she got a grip on it and the unalloyed attention of the other three, she continued."How about if this babies are fooling us? Initi
