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
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.
Present Day. October 22, 2017. Winchester.A day ago.HOOT HOOTThe constant call of the black owl on the zenith branch of the hickory rang through the substratosphere, lending the whooshing winds some rhythm to play upon.The thickness of the gloom sweeping past the night, leeched off the writhing body of dark clouds in the sky. A cone-like dark cloud drifted by, and shielded the splattered orange silhouette of the moon staking its lofty claim. The lunar moon!Few metres away from the thick, dark forest was an assembly of tombstones, a cemetery. And out of the forest crawled a large winged snake, eyes toned red, towards the cemetery. Slithering cum hissing.The slithering snake seemed to have a motive as its red eyes sent a one metre shade of red light at its front, leading it to the direction it craved. The scaly but sticky body tossing to'n'fro to dark wants of the eyes.Gentle breeze crashed a
October 21, 2017. Winchester.Two days ago."Show is over, fuckers, you can start going now."A plumpy blonde stood over the table of the three middle-aged drinking men. One of them with scanty beards looked up at the woman in disgust, slurring the words,"What in the world is wrong with waitresses of these days. You live off us and yet you think you can be the master of whatever words you deem fit?"The blonde wielding a recent glare scoffed,"Tell you what, asshat, I don't have to answer your dimwitted question. All I know is, when I'm back, you'll wish you were gone. At least look around and see that you're the only miserable lots littering this bar."She scorned as she walked away,"As though they could pay all they debts."The asshat pushed his chair back in rage to make for the woman, staggering, almost losing his stance and falling off. But the plain faced of them with dirty curls
A week Later. A worksite."Just this one last time and I wouldn't pick up your calls, unless it's a call for your funeral."The last of the men shot at the scanty bearded. It's been over a week now and work had brought them together again."But you'll answer the call won't you? The call of a corpse?"The scanty bearded laughed to his own joke, fixing the long iron pipe in the wall. The person he was addressing was behind the other wall."Why me? I bet you had no guts to call Jacob. It's been all mouth, hasn't it?"He teased the scanty bearded, who pushed the pipe deliberately and almost pierced the chest of the fellow with the edge."Lucky you. I should gut your throat. Jacob holds no place around me anymore. That coward."The other fellow was quick to toss the odds behind as they moved to the other hole in the wall, few steps ahead. They only had three more to go."What
