The following day early in the morning, as usual, it was time for all to prepare and head back to solving the murders. As David was preparing himself to head out to the precinct, what he saw on the television was no good news. Their day had started on a very low pitch. Immediately his phone rang. It was Detective Jean calling. She had also seen the news and was calling David to confirm whether he had seen the same.
All the channels were reporting breaking news that morning. The Minister of internal security was reported dead after being involved in an accident while driving home from his office the previous night. These were no good news. Such a high-ranking officer in the government dying was a big blow to the Nation and very suspicious given the circumstances.
The government could not sit this one out. He had to be replaced immediately or the country was about to break into chaos. A Nation without the Minister of internal security even for the shortest time was like
On the streets, things got worse by the day. More chaos were arising with each sunrise. If one did not know better, one would think that the devil had given birth and built a habitation on earth and needed to feed the off springs.The world was turning into his playground slowly with every single death on the streets and the gradual rise of chaos in the city. Someone needed to do something or the situation was getting out of hand.The following day, as the detective and her team were busy trying to get the connection between the death of the Minister and the other previous bodies they had found, Ruddick the forensic analyst had some more news for her. This time, a call was not enough to tell what he had just experienced.He had to go to the precinct to tell whatever he had found out that morning after reporting to work. Lucky enough for him, the detectives were still at the precinct and had not left yet. In fact, Detective Jean had reported to the precinct very
Jonas laughed at the joke. They got into the car and headed for the morgue to try finding some answers to the disappearance of the Minister’s body. After a short drive around the city, they arrived and entered the morgue. Indeed, it was just as Ruddick had explained.Nothing was out of place and there was no sign of breakage or violence. That indicated whoever had taken the body must have had easy access to the morgue. The only problem was that, Ruddick was the only one with the keys to the morgue.The other pair of keys was in the custody of Kibich Central Teaching and Referral Hospital (KCTRH). At the time, none of them thought anyone would even get access to the keys from the hospital.The fact was, no one thought about the keys to have been taken. They moved around looking for clues but found none. Even in the security footages, there was nothing at the time the body disappeared.Whoever had taken the Minister’s body was good and must have
The detectives went to search the car for any clues about who could have taken the Minister’s body. The car was burnt but… fire does not always destroy things. Sometimes it can preserve evidence.They had to take a shot, although, a long shot. After a while of going through the burnt remains, Jonas finally found something. It seemed one of the kidnappers dropped a ticket he had acquired from the impound yard earlier the previous day.Indeed, the fire had not consumed everything after all. With the receipt, it was easy for them to track the kidnappers. They went back to the impound lock and asked about anyone suspicious that could have visited the impound yard earlier the previous day. The guard confessed of a visit from one person who claimed to be in the police force and following up on a car involved in a past case.The so-termed officer did not specify which vehicle he was looking for but the guard confessed to have given him the pass. When the d
Moments later, news from the officers sent out to get the Minister’s mistress reached the detective. The mistress was nowhere to be found. She was not in her apartment. According to her neighbors, she had not been seen in the past couple of days. Things got more complicated. The only person that could prove the Minister’s wife story was missing and no one knew how to find her.As bad as that seemed, it was not yet time to give up the case. It was not the end of the trail. After a while of silence, the Minister’s wife asked the detective to open the documents that she had been sent showing her husband and the mistress together. Detective Jean opened them without knowing what the Minister’s wife was looking for. She asked detective Jean to check the dates on the pictures as well as on the envelop they were in.According to the statements from her neighbors, it happened to be the very same dates, a couple of days earlier, which the lady was said to
Back at David’s home, Jessica was still going through her grandmother’s work. She was trying to find any more clues that could lead them to solving the riddles. It was until then that his son and husband came back home safe. Kate was still with her, she would visit regularly, and trying to help her in every way possible. They still could not get why one of her grandmother’s journals was missing and what could have been in it. Above all, whomever else besides them that knew about the journal and, how they took it.At that time, she had started to get the picture that no other beasts but the ‘man-kind’ were threatening the world. As it seemed, the warnings were in relation to everything that was happening in the city. She realized that there was no other threat greater than what her husband and son were facing together with the detectives.She knew that all the powers her son had for seeing visions and the fact that the detective knock
The two agents that gave her the Minister’s case were present. They were not happy to see Jean and her team though. The look on their faces said it all. They came towards them at once and this time, they were not interested in sharing with Jean but David.The news were that David was in trouble and arrested for the murder of the victim found at the scene. They were all staggered and tried to defend David saying there was nothing linking him to the crime. They all alibied to be with him the entire time.What Jean and the rest did not know was that the two agents had enough evidence against David that he could not get off the hook. First, they found his Beretta M9 pistol at the scene as the murder weapon. Second, he was caught on camera doing the killing. Funny enough, someone came along and tried to confront him and that is when he dropped the weapon and fled.Jean could not comprehend what had just happened. In all her entire career as a detective, she had
On arrival at home, Jessica and Kate sensed something was wrong from a mile away after seeing the car pull up outside that fast and that early. Finally, when everyone got out and there was no David, Jessica knew that hell was about to break lose and the world was crashing on them.She knew all was about to smash them hard. Jonas’ vision and his great grandmother’s vision about the serpent had started to happen. It was not time to find the serpent or bother to know who or what it might have been but to get David off the hook.To their surprise, when they searched for his weapons, they were no longer there. In fact, all his weapons were missing. All they found was a bunch of fake guns and pistols in his firearm cabinet. Things got from bad to worse, strange to a mystery that they needed to solve as fast as they could or David could be the next missing person.Jean was sure that whoever was pulling the strings was someone very powerful. She also knew th
Before she could embark on the search for the burning garment under her skin, she had to do something for David first. She might have called off every effort to get David off the hook but she still had to do something about it. There are very many ways of killing rats. This includes burning the house at times. It was time for her to burn the house. The rats were proving so lethal for any other way.She went for the only other option there was to help David. She had to break the law and break him out. She also knew that breaking into a prison was not an easy task. Prisons were and are designed to keep those inside in and those outside out. Breaking him out of a prison was impossible with her working alone.There was only one other way she would help David. For David to be imprisoned, he had to be moved to the facility. During transportation, there was security but nothing compared to what could be found inside a prison. She stood a better chance breaking him out en rout
