2024-10-29 19:42:56Jonas and his father David had left the house. They were busy trying to find a way to make Jonas’ newly discovered powers take effect. Jessica on the other hand had nothing else to do apart from being a mother and a wife. She was doing her normal chores in the house when she heard a knock at the door. She was not sure whom that could have been but went forward to check. Before opening, she had to make sure it was not the demon killing people hunting the chosen.
With her son having the gift, she knew that, in one way or the other, the demon would know about it. Although she made sure people had no clue about Jonas’ potencies, she knew a day would come for them to know. After this, the so-called demon could try to get rid of the one thing that could stop it from accomplishing its mission.
Upon looking outside, she was relieved to find out that, it was not the demon but Kate. Jonas’ girlfriend decided to pay a visit. Apparently, she could not live longer

Detectives Jean and John got out of their vehicle and walked a detective’s walk, looking around for clues and a possible starting point, towards the house. Jean did not leave behind the newspaper article. She carried it with her. She knew that, one of the questions Jessica would ask was how they had found out about the house.They got to the door and knocked as usual. Jessica opened the door for them to get inside although she was not willing. She first had to hear what they had to say while they stood outside the door. The very first question was to know why they had visited her home.“Hello ma’am. My name is Detective Jean Roberts and… this is my partner Detective John Walter. Are you Jessica Smith?”“And what is this all about? Why are you looking for Jessica Smith?”“Ma’am, it’s nothing bad. She is not in trouble or anything. We just need her help,” Detective John assured.&ldqu

Before they could go far, Jean’s phone rang. She took it out of the pocket to see who it was. It was Ruddick the forensic analyst at Kibich Central Teaching and Referral Hospital. Besides working at the hospital, he was the consulting forensic analyst for the Kibich Central Police precinct.He was calling to let the Detective in on the findings on the last murder victim they had discovered. From the look on the Detective’s face, she did not get what she was hoping for from the analyst.Unfortunately, Jonas’ mother was right after all. Ruddick had just found some shreds of evidence supporting that, not a beast but another human being in need of blood and a lot of it was killing people. She could not believe her ears but there it was. Someone was determined to kill people for whatever course it was that they believed in.Immediately after ending the call, she turned to Mrs. David and told her of the news. Funny thing though was that, although Mrs

The detective gave Jonas’ father the book pointing at initials that they found tattooed on a dead body a few days earlier. RVN.17.1.2.3. were initials they found tattooed on the dead person’s body. They could not understand what it meant. They had almost given up on searching but then, Jonas gave them the clue to what the code was.The fact outraged everyone in the room. They were eager to hear more of what Jonas had to say now that; his pictures were associated with multiple homicides. This was surely something no one thought would happen. Neither his mother nor his girlfriend would comprehend what they were hearing from Jonas and the detectives. It was time Jonas gave a good explanation of the numbers in his book or, he was in deep trouble.“Everyone relax. Those numbers are not anything bad. Why would they be in my vision if they had something to do with murders and killings? It is just a verse from the Bible. It means Revelation 17: 1-3,” Jo

After they had left, Kate felt the need to lengthen her stay in the absence of her boyfriend. She hoped to learn more about what was happening as she helped Jessica with what she had in mind to keep them occupied for the rest of the day.“What now? What do we do next?” asked Kate.“My daughter, all we have to do now is wait, pray and try to assist them as much as we can. In addition, as much as you may want to stay, I suggest you head back home. Your parents might be worried with a killer on the loose. We shall just catch up later,” said Jessica.“Okay, mom… I wouldn’t agree with you less. Just in case anything happens between today and tomorrow, be sure to let me know. They took Jonas; I happen to have fallen in love with him so bad. At least, let me help where I can.”“Of course dear, I will surely let you know. One more thing though, let us keep this between us. Tell what you have heard to no

In the Captain’s office, first, Jean thought to let the Captain in on who Jonas and David were and why they had brought them to the precinct. He had a different idea; save it to the end of the briefing. They did not have enough time to talk about it in length but just a mention.The Captain had not called her for a heads up but, because he had received a call from the Eastern side of the city. Police on patrol had found a dead body. There was another murder in need for their attention and they needed to follow up on it as soon as they were informed. A dead body was the last thing they needed lying lifeless on the streets, exposed more than it already had been.“Yes Captain. How may I be of assistance?”“It is not me you should be worried about detective. We just got a call from the Eastern side of the city reporting a dead body found dumped in an abandoned warehouse. This demon you articulate much about just killed another man and drained

Around the city, panic was cleaving in faster by the day. At first, everything just started as a rumor. With the rise of strange murder cases within the city, the rumor was proving to be true with every second that passed. Credonia was slowly becoming a bleeding nation. People tensed but businesses and everything else ran normally.Besides the treacherous homicide cases, the journalists had their share of making the detectives’ life a living hell. Besides those in the law enforcement; investigation and reporting came with the job as well. What a better story to tell than strange homicides? It was for that same reason they craved the story and that still required them to keep off.The more news and information they revealed about the cases and in relation to the Armageddon rumor, the faster things could escalate. It was not one of the wise moves and decisions. Therefore, besides the unknown monster that the police were trying to deal with, they had journalists and

The detectives and both Jonas and David followed the Officer to the crime scene. For all the others except Jonas, seeing a dead body was nothing new and reason for blood rush.To Jonas though, seeing a body lying down lifeless was not something simple but he had no choice but to harden for the task ahead. He had to help solve the riddles with the hopes that it would help catch the executioner.Without much ado, Detective Jean uncovered the body so that they could see the engravings on it. It was not a good sight. Just like the other victims, the body was blood-drained. As if that was not enough, the killer had also removed some of the internal organs and sewed close the body. Indeed, things were getting worse by the day and each body they found. The killer was becoming more creative. He needed stopped or things could get worse.This time around the killer, so they thought, had two puzzles for them to solve. It was time for Jonas to have a look at the body and te

“These two verses, what do they have in common?” asked Detective Jean.“They talk nothing about any of the dead bodies or how they died but, of a fallen Babylon and Immoral kings,” David said.“Maybe not dad; they do talk about how the victims died.”“What are you saying son?”“He means, the victims’ death had something to do with this dying Babylon and the immoral Kings if I am not wrong,” said Jean.“Exactly my point; what if these codes were not just written there by the killer? What if someone else is trying to reach out to us with a message on how to put an end to the murders?” said Jonas.“What is that supposed to mean?” asked Detective John.“He thinks there is a higher power that is helping us get this killer?” said Detective Jean.“No Detective. Not trying to let us find the killer… far from it. This

A while later, they arrived at the location and took cover leaving only Claire. Such an ambush was the best advantage they had against the Clairvoyant. He had played them long enough. It was time they got to be one-step ahead of him.On his arrival, before he could even get a chance to leave his vehicle, they began to give him their best. Indeed, he was the true Clairvoyant for bullets did not seem to have much effect on him. He switched to his alien form to deal with them squarely as well. He was one very ugly beast in his alien being and scary to even look at.As Jonas was busy weakening him with his powers, the rest of the team was busy giving him everything they had. Indeed, they were very ready for the battle. They had gotten every weapon they could get their hands on at the precinct to fight against the beast. He was one tough alien to kill.

A while later, they arrived at the church and got the key. After putting it to the port, it was a perfect fit and the chest opened revealing yet another scroll for them to read. As usual, it was another paradox that they needed to solve if they were to be anywhere near making sense of it.The message read, ‘He who is chosen has everything needed to defeat the evil one. His weakness is his greatest weapon and tool against he that seeks to destroy. Beware, he has to be defeated before the sun meets the moon else, he shall grow strong and will be unbeatable. In the shadows, he has lived waiting to the time. When the time does come, he shall have the power of the seven equestrians in one body. You must not let this happen, otherwise, the world is doomed to come to end. As always, you should have faith and believe in yourself for only then will your weakness be your only strength against him.’Having read the message on the scroll, it was clear to them that inde

On another part of the city was Jonas and Jean as well. It was also their first time in an amorous relationship with each other. Since theirs was more of an ambush, they had not a good chance to properly express each other’s affections besides the stolen glances to each other as they worked together. They too decided to make up for the lost time. Unlike John and Claire who were trying to build a relationship from a first date, theirs was different.Their first date came after their relationship had already taken off. His visions, Rebecca’s journals and the chest made it so. They had gone out for their first date as well. They were not the hotel type though. Instead of booking a table for two at an elite hotel, they decided to make theirs unique. They chose the top of the greatest tower in the city for their venue. It was the very same place he kissed his first girlfriend Kate for the first time.The date was not as normal as any other first date. Theirs inv

The Clairvoyant was no more. They finally culminated the case. Being free, it was time to embark on other better things. After the captain’s burial, it was time to concentrate on their lives. They had spent so much time working the case that they did not have enough for leisure and personal lives.John embarked on his new mission, to take Claire out as promised. He prepared himself and dressed to look his best. That day was one among the few countable that he wore a tuxedo. He surely looked good in the black so-fitting tuxedo. After the meticulous preparation was over, he walked out magnificently and drove to Claire’s place to pick her up. Considering the fact that fate had taken Jonas from her, she needed to give John a chance. After all, she was also very eager to hear what he had to say. He had promised her an explanation on how Ruth was not his wife nor Eve his daughter.After a short drive, he arrived at her residence. As usual, in his hands was a bouq

Indeed, their plan worked so well and Peterson fell for the trap, so they thought. What they did not know was that Peterson had something in store for them as well. Instead of showing up at the hospital as they thought and expected, he planned a rendezvous of his own. They had made a good plan but with one omission; the Clairvoyant was as clever as they were.He knew their greatest weakness was caring about people. He knew they would go to any lengths just to save a life. He got hold of a few hostages and called David. He instructed them to head to his rendezvous point if they were at any position of saving the hostages.That was the time they fully realized that he would have never fell for their first idea about David trying to make him feel guilty. Since they had him believe Jonas was hospitalized, they had to keep it so. Someone had to play the role of Jonas. Peterson made his plan just to make sure Jonas could not show.They decided to give him just that. J

Jean flipped the chest around looking for anything after the fact. Indeed, this time, she found something. On one side of the chest was the message, ‘His weakness is his greatest Weapon’. It was yet another riddle for them to solve. The question was what weakness it was and how it was his weapon.As they tried to figure out what it was, Meake got a call from the CIBSC director. He was required at the CIBSC headquarters for matters concerning National security. He left at that moment leaving the others trying to solve the riddle.According to what they thought, Peterson was just another clone. Still without any other clue pointing to who the Clairvoyant was and to make sense of the message on the chest, they just had to conclude the obvious; the Clairvoyant had impersonated Peterson.With that in mind, they just had to find Peterson’s weakness and use it against him. It was the only option making sense. Had Peterson been a clone, the chest could

Early the following morning, the task force gathered at the precinct as usual. It was time for them to find out more about the chest and how it was a weapon against the Clairvoyant. It was no ordinary chest though. Unlike any other normal chest, that one had no opening seams. It was smooth all round and more like a solid cube.Jonas tried everything he could think of that could have opened it but to no avail. After several failures, it was the time they remembered the part about the Chosen’s better half. They shifted from trying to open it to figuring out who the better half was. Since Jonas and Claire were dating at the time, they suggested her.Although they had not dated for long, there was no one else in Jonas’ life. She had to be the one. Since they did not know of what the better half was to do, they just had her hold the chest in her hands. Still, there was nothing to show for it. The question they all asked was who else it could have been; there was

Upon arrival at David’s compound, they all left the cars and walked following David as he led them to the stowage. Upon entry, they saw the enormous shield first. It was then that they suspected to be at the right place as well. He just did as he saw his wife do and the floor clicked. Some of the other members, the likes of Matthew and Ruddick, were scared.Into the spiral stairway to the underground they went. A short while later, David lit the lanterns as Jessica did. They walked on to the enormous door with a riddle for a key. This time, David already knew about it. He pushed and they got inside. He then walked to one end of the stowage where he had seen a spear when they were in there with his wife.Upon lifting the spear, it offset some kind of a trapdoor. It was at the highest part of one of the walls. It became the source of light from outside. David was astounded by the fact just like the others. He never thought the room could have a window.

Those were the last words of the journal. From that moment on, it was time for Jonas and his crew to figure out the riddle and get that which he was to use against the Clairvoyant.“Can anyone just make sense of what we just read? It’s not that I do not understand but, how are we to crack this riddle this time?" Meake questioned very curiously and looking confused.“Well, as you have heard, the Chosen is said to have everything he needs to defeat this evil one and who happens to be the Clairvoyant in our case,” Johnpaul responded.“Is it me or have anyone else heard something about God speaking and his anger and plead to turn back to the ways of the light?” Matthew asked.“I have heard that too. I just wish someone would tell us more,” Jean uttered.“That’s a good idea. We should start by turning to the ways of the light ourselves. Honestly, I have never understood how bad our situation is
