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

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

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

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

The wise said, better the devil you know than the angel you know not. I also tend to say that, sometimes, the angel you know might be the devil you know not about. Jean was sure that she had a partner who was always there for her.Someone who could take one for her and she still did. John was the kind of person no one would ever suspect had anything to do with the killings or knew anything about them.One could always think that he was as in the dark as Jean and the rest. Maybe, this was the reason they also said that, it is not a good thing to judge a book by the cover. It is always good to have a peek inside the covers before you can think of judging. Well, we cannot say the same for our friend Detective Jean though. Hers was an open book that had secrets beneath those innocent-looking pages.Does this mean that, whenever we find an open book for us to read, we should always watch out for secrets within the pages? This I cannot tell but, what I can tell is, th

At the precinct, it was time for the team to gather all they had for use and reference. This included Jonas’ book of dreams back from the captain, any articles about Rebecca and the journals they had by her about the same. They were no longer in search of the killer but the theory behind the killings as well as, the reason for the inscriptions on the dead bodies. To add to what they had to use for the research on this lead they had, Ruddick, the forensic analyst gave Detective Jean another call.On having a look at her phone and saw it was Ruddick calling, she knew nothing comforting was about to come from his findings. He had finished research on the letterings found on the dead bodies. He finally had news that he needed to share with the detective. Ruddick’s research had just revealed; the tattoos on the bodies were imprinted using a tattoo ink and equipment that could not be found in any tattoo store throughout the world.What that meant was that, the wr

Finally, the day was done and it was time for the team to break for the night. Jean requested the Captain to let David and Jonas go home for they had helped them much in the cases. She also pleaded with him to let her work with them to solve the cases until the end. The Captain was not to object this because; even he had seen how they had helped in the case.“Captain, I wish to have a word with you a moment please... in private,” said Detective Jean.“Of course detective. What favor do you want me to do for you this time?”“Well, I am just asking you to let David and Jonas go home for the night. They have surely helped us.”“That will not be a problem. You also knew that we could not have them spend the night here in the precinct, right?”“Yeah, of course I knew about that. Sorry, maybe I played the role of detaining them a little too much and was carried away.”“I understand

When David and Jonas arrived home, Jessica had everything with her at hand. She was ready to hand over to them to help them with the case. They could also help Jonas so that he could understand himself better. If he was to be at his best, he needed to know himself better and, more so, about his newly acquired friend.Rebecca had written quite a number of journals in her lifetime. She also happened to name them in a sequence that one would be able to follow even without her being present to guide. She knew that whatever she saw was greater than anyone was and could happen long after she was gone. Indeed, she was right. It did happen years after she was gone.The mysterious thing though was that, all other books and pictures were there except for two. One of the journals was missing and one picture was missing as well. Thanks to her organizational skills, Jessica could be able to tell the two were missing. That yet brought another dilemma for them. As far as Jessica was
