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

Courtday.~Facts' Battle~"Since the police lacks skills and expertise to apprehend the person behind the serial killing and they wanted to arrive at an answer. They decided to manipulate a baby who can't fight for itself. This is the first ever proof that the police department mostly charge wrong people for wrong cases when they can't lay their hands on the real culprit. This is quite a proof.""Objection my Lord."The Attorney for the Police department called at the Judge, his face sizzling with recent rage. He was 6"2, Caucasian, brown cap-like hair with wavy front."Sustained."The Judge nodded and he stood up. He started, paying more of his attention to the Judge than the Asian prosecutor who had brilliantly manipulated the point."I won't speak out of turn, her grace. But I'll implore this house to guide the Prosecuting attorney to choosing his words carefully. Truth be told,

Iseult's mother's home.~Folks~"16 years ago, Iseult's father and I went to Winchester in England to spend few days at his mother's place. She was sick, and you were at the boarding school back then--"She nodded towards Iseult, who had her left finger intertwined with Devin Snr, who had both hands on his lap. Both seated on a couch, opposite Iseult's mother's.The woman continued,"Turned out she wasn't suffering from Cancer, she only had a tumor hiding in her brain, but lucky enough it was removed and she got fine."She did the usual pause and continued,"Since there was no hurry for us to go home. Your dad was a priest back then and headed a small church before he was laid off. I never knew Priest were ever laid off."She chuckled wryly and continued,"We went hiking since we had few days at hand; we've only spent few days off our weeks. And beside a hill in a dead cold snowing winter
Baby Of The Dead Prologue
October 22, 1412. Wintanceaster."Help me!"Her loud but muffled voice rang through the dark clusters of trees as the nocturnal hood gave back to her what she said. Her light legs not light enough to carry her body in the swiftness her heart craved. Her long sleek hair floating to the rhythm of the wheezing wind crashing against her wild body. Her two years old baby clasped to her breasts with the left hand, the right aiding the race. The constant rustles and slithering and hisses kept coming behind her but she had no idea what was after her nor what she was running away from.She stopped running again, like she had done five minutes earlier. She could feel darkness crawling up her skin. Every movement around her got to her. She heard a sharp sound in the undergrowth beside her. She flinched and fell on her back, gentle sobs wielding."Oh... by heaven!"She muttered.
