The man tried consoling his wife. They had taken the corpse in for autopsy. The result was out and this must be the toughest for a cop.Reporting death to the deceased family.Winston walked into the room where they were waiting. The woman nearly pouncing on him, grabbed his shirt as her being shook, "that's not my angel right?" Her eyes were bloodshot.Winston bit his lips."I'm sorry", was all he could mutter.Her wailings filled the entire room, but Winston had one more question to ask. He couldn't definitely ask the mourning wife so he drew her husband aside, presenting a picture of Conrad before his eyes and asking, "do you know him?""No", the man shook his head."Please think well...", Winston urged him. He shouldn't be doing this in this situation but he needed answers. Winston had this hunch that conrad had something to do with the disappearance cases.The man took the phone from his hand, peering deeper into the picture before a 'yes' escaped his lips."I'm barely at home,
A week left to Denzel's death and Deborah had been buried, Conrad's pictures were all over town. The entire Crimson heights were looking out for him.More bodies were dug up in compounds, turns out Conrad had made it a hobby to kill and bury them for unknown reasons.Why in the first place would a man thirst for blood?He wasn't related to any of the girls.. their families had never done him wrong, so why then did the victims become his target or he was just a psychopath.Diana had taken a leave from the office. She had become a shadow of herself. The fear of Conrad still roaming the city taunted her. Three were dead already, not to mention the lots he has wasted already. At most times, she'd imagine him breaking into her house and taking her life.The more she thought about him, the more she felt guilty over the soul she was about sending to hell.How possible was it that Conrad's photo would be all over town and yet no sight of him. The cops now patrolled the city. Civilians were
"God! I really could use an actual sleep on a real bed", he yawned."We signed up for this anyway", his partner yawned as well.Two juniors had been assigned to stake out at the particular location Carlton had given as a place Conrad would likely visit.They didn't have up to 24hours anymore to save Denzel but they weren't going to just give up. They've come this far and lost a lot. Justice for lives lost and the traumatized parents and friends left behind. More bodies were dug up in the backyards though some were not found yet.Crimson heights were in tears and fear. They would catch him by all means..Winston sat in his office, watching time, hoping for some goodnews. They had 3 hours left. He was literally praying.His phone buzzed with a message."I know what happened to Tania Williams".Winston stared at the phone in his hand. His heart beating fast. Was this a prank?He tried to call the caller but another message came in."21st street..."Winston stared at it. He knew that p
When Thomas's eyes snapped open, everything was blurred at first. Stirring in bed, the phone ringing continued.Stilldrowsy with sleep, Thomas stretched his hand to the bedside table and took his phone.."Hello", he voiced in a husky tone."I really thought you died", the reply came from the other end."Huh?""I called you countlessly forgetting how much of a deep sleeper you are", he scoffed.Thomas drew the phone away from his ear to stare at the caller, he recognized the voice but his brain felt still a little foggy."Liam", he mouthed and the sleep vanished.He sat upright, "Liam!" A spread across his face.."Hey! Don't scream in my ears"."You're in town now?" Thomas asked with a chuckle."I'm pretty sure I informed you yesterday", Thomas imagined him roll his eyes."I have someone to show you man, our usual spot"."Liam come on..." Thomas tried objecting."No, you come on! Tom it's been long enough, how long more are you gonna keep mourning? You don't do nothing these days""I'
Denzel wrapped up his fishing once he checked his time. He was going to prepare Tania something really nice as his apology. They've been married for 28 months and they've never had a major quarrel like earlier this morning. Tania left for work angry and so did he but he was going to make it up to her tonight, with his cooking and maybe a little planned speech.He had vowed to make her happy when he married her and she's been the sweetest soul ever. He never wanted them to go to bed with anger in their hearts.Denzel rushed home and arranged the whole place, it was 5:48pm already and Tania closed from work at seven. Say an hour and half, she'd be at the door.He began cooking and cleaning. He had bought flowers on his way home, so he decorated the place, when he was done, the time read 7:23pm.He sighed and rushed in to take his bathe, he wore only his pants and waited bare chested.Denzel waited and waited, the food grew cold but Tania wasn't home yet. He checked the time, it was 8
The knock on the door disrupted Denzel's sleep. He loved to sleep in everytime, but he rose from.bed anyways, though a bit sleepy, he walked to the door and twisted the door knob open."Denzel", Sophie gushed at his naked body. Well just his chest."Oh Sophie, goodmorning", Denzel greeted, immediately looking over her shoulders, "where's Tania?" He asked.She paused and stared at him for a second."She refused to come with you? Don't tell me she sent you to pick up her clothes for today", sadness laced his voice."What are you saying? Didn't Tania come home last night?" "Sorry what?""Tania.. she didn't sleep at my place, she left at night and I called you but no answer so I guessed you might have been faraway from your phone or something. I actually came to apologize because she...""Sophie wait! Wait!" Denzel couldn't comprehend a thing."What do you mean she left at night?" He asked."Well, she found out you called and I told you that she was at my place, she got furious and left
The cop led them out, "you might want to follow us to the station and make a statement?" He asked them.Denzel looked at Sophie and she nodded.The cop nodded too and they stepped out together, but once outside, Sophie had to make a call to her boss that she might come in late or wouldn't even come in at all.Almost immediately, Denzel's phone rang too. He took it out his phone pocket and stared at the screen that had lit up with the name MOM JOHNSON on the screen. That's the way he saved his mother-in-law's number on his phone.He sighed. He didn't know if to pick or not in this situation. Tania was her only child. And if he doesn't pick, she's ready to rush down to his home. He swiped green."Denzel?" Her voice fell through "Mom. Goodmorning", he tried to sound normal as possible but she wasn't helping."Did Tania come home?"He had never had a reason to lie and at this point, he couldn't even cook up one."Hello? Denzel?""Uh. Mom. Yeah. Can I uhh... Can I like call you back la
Thomas Bradly sat still on his seat as people exited the cinema. The movie was obviously over but a bored and lonely Thomas remained seated.He stared at the big screen though he was obviously looking absent minded. It was remaining a few people when he finally stood and stretched. He pulled his face cap over his head well and headed out.Thomas Bradly was a 38-year-old talented and successful writer who had been on hiatus for two years now since he lost his mom. His dad died when he was just a baby and his superwoman raised him all by herself. She never remarried and he loved her so much, but she finally left him. She died of acute pneumonia and though he tried everything as well as the doctors too. He could see it in her eyes. She didn't want to leave. She wanted to go. She was vocal about it. She had caressed his face that night and begged him to let her go. She begged him to find a girl, get married and have kids.Thomas has been alone ever since. There was no motivation to write
