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
At the precinct, she found both the captain and John looking for her. It’s like; they were growing impatient about her missing. Lucky for her she got there in time. The search for David continued and as she promised him, she did her best to give him a heads up and to keep them off his back whenever she could.A couple of hours later, as she was preparing to go to David’s house and warn Jessica as was requested by him, she got a text message from an anonymous number requesting her to pick the package that was about to be delivered to the precinct for her. The text was specific that she should get the package herself and that it was for her eyes only.Moments later, a deliveryman did come by the precinct with a package for her. It was a simple A5 brown sealed envelope. As she was signing for it, John saw it and got curious to know what was in the envelope. She eluded him by saying that it was from her personal lawyer about some deeds she was following up. She
Detective Jean went to the Credonia National Bank, Kibich Central branch, to find out what could have been in the deposit box. Once she was there, she requested access to the deposit boxes and went searching for the specific box. Finally, she found it and opened.Inside this box was nothing much but just a voice recorder. She took out the recorder and played it. What she heard was the voice of two men talking about the Minister’s efforts to cripple their deals and that the Minister had to be taken care of.Indeed, Cindy was right that the information was very valuable. It confirmed her statement of the Minister being nervous when he called her. Jean had gotten enough information to clear the Minister’s wife. It also entrenched that some populaces in the government were planning something life-sized.She could not use the evidence to clear the Minister’s wife yet. She had to do something for Cindy though. She helped her get out of the country un
