The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: The police commissioner's meeting
" Good morning Sir, I heard you sent for me," James said to the police chief after he entered his office." Yes, the police commissioner instructed me to come with you to his office," the police chief said."I Hope there's no problem Sir?" He asked with anxiety. James has been avoiding this kind of situation because he is afraid to face the police commissioner without any progress to show regarding the case.He fears that they might remove his hand from the case and hand it over to another unit,the reason for trying to avoid that." I also don't know what the problem is, but it sounded more like an emergency,the police chief said." Let us be on our way!" The police chief said, while James opened the door in respect.They got to the police commissioner's office and proceeded to his office. James still felt uneasy about this whole thing but what could he do when they've already gotten there. He is surprised at the police chief's movement as if the man is oblivious with what was going o
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE: Tracking
" Sir, I believe we need information about him before we start the journey of searching for him," Ken uttered,he believe that is the best idea rather than searching for someone they don't know apart from his face." There's no time we can exhaust to do that. You of all people know what is going on and the threat we're receiving because of this," James said, trying to explain."Ever since that meeting with the police commissioner,the police authorities have been pestering me not to talk of the public and the media. Let's try and search for the man, and in the process his profile can come in." Sir,the police placed around Meth said they found someone that looks like him around that area," Angelina said,she was not in the meeting room before. James gave her work to do.Ken and others were surprised. They didn't know James had started the work immediately,here they were still trying to drag words with one another. This means there's no time for any exchange of words." You mean work had
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY SIX: Apprehending the suspect
After hours of waiting, they were able to leave the place and continue the journey though it was already in the evening. After calling the station,they were sent two new vehicles and reinforcement to assist them with the mission.James was reluctant no matter the persuasion that they had to give in when he even threatened to go alone.It was rare to see James behave like this,so they had to give in and continue their journey to Meth because left to them they should return to the police station.They proceeded with mixed feelings. Even though they were the police force, but the serial killer is undefined making it impossible. They don't have any idea of the person behind that and were still going to face another important personality of the case." He said we should wait here, he's coming to lead us there," Angelina said,she was told to contact the police in the area who passed the information that they found someone who is likely to be the suspect they are looking for.They were alread
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN: Anthony's profile
The police force were in a good mood with the kind of fish they caught and brought home. This was the first time ever since the commencement of the journey of finding the killer would bring forth something promising.Even though that didn't mean they were done with the case or they had apprehended the killer,the fact that they were able to nab one of the suspect was appealingly and even the media were sending praises to them." You people really impressed me with what you did yesterday. I didn't even know you already planned such," the police chief said commending James." We didn't want to disappoint you. That's why we didn't inform you earlier and only wanted to show you the good news," James explained." That is so thoughtful of you. The police commissioner is also happy and hope you will round off the case soon," the police chief said smiling. His smile was somehow but James couldn't get what it was all about." I hope so too, everybody wish to get off this case as soon as possibl
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT: The Police Chief's Drama
" What did you tell them?" The police chief asked,facing Anthony who put on a taunting look." What did you expect me to say?" He replied still putting on the mocking attire." When did you start using question to answer me?" The police chief asked furiously." You must be joking if still think you're in the past. You think if you act this way, I will gladly do your bidding," Anthony said scornfully, while the police chief opened his mouth in shock." You came to ask for my help, instead of you to plead you're trying to play the hard way," Anthony added, and that statement was enough to reset the police chief's brain." You can't blame me for acting in that manner, since you of all people know what is going on," the police chief said trying to defend himself." So you actually believe I'm not the killer?" Anthony asked." Why will I believe such statement. I have seen enough evidence to prove that another person is clearly behind it," the police chief stated." Why then didn't you stop
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY NINE: Interrogation
" Good day, I'm sure this is not the first time we're meeting so let us skip the pleasantries. I will be glad if you can make this interrogation session easy for us. Mind you your confession will determine your innocent,so I hope you will cooperate with us," James said,as he opened the files he brought along." I heard that you said you don't need a lawyer. Is that true?" James asked." Yes, I won't be needing a lawyer," Anthony replied." We all know you're an ex -convict, but can you deem it fit to state the kind of crime you were punished for?" James asked." I won't want to go there. It's like opening a covered wound, I will appreciate it if you can skip this question," Anthony replied." No problem with that,let us move to the next phase. Can you give an insight to what you've been doing ever since you were released up till this moment," James questioned." I was released from prison few months ago and ever since then, I have been trying to fend for myself by working for people in
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER THIRTY: Suspicion
" If you're not the one behind the police commissioner's death,who is then responsible?" James asked." The last person recorded was you and that itself is suspicious. What business did you have with the police commissioner that warranted you entering his office?" James asked." We had some unfinished business I had to settle," Anthony replied." A criminal and a police officer had an unfinished business,that's quite funny to me. Anyway what is the business all about?" He asked." I promised him to keep the secret until I die. I believe it will be better to respect the decision of the deceased," Anthony defended." James if there's nothing else to ask,why not return him back to his cell?" The police chief said interrupting since there was a microphone outside the interrogation room used to call the attention of anybody conducting the interrogation.James feels a tone of delight in the police chief's statement but that might be an assumption due to the pressure." I believe I have humb
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER THIRTY ONE: Spying
Even though they had someone who was presumed to be linked to the crime, there was no progress as he was resisting. Anthony made it clear that they could not obtain information from him no matter how much energy they put into it and will be better to send him to Court, and be prepared to continue recording criminal cases.He has repeated this on several occasions and that got James worried. With his years of experience,he hasn't experienced this kind of situation. The case is complex on it own and having a complicated suspect is not helping matters.He was sure that Anthony is not the culprit, but something in him believe he has something that can lead them to the killer which he is not ready to disclose.The audacity and actions says it all, but there's nothing to be done concerning that since even his common information was not found.The public are not giving them rest of mind for fear of being the next victims. Frequent petitions have been writing to sack the squad handling the c

CHAPTER FORTY: Person in hood
Fortunately for them, they were able to get the dashcam. They didn't make an attempt to watch it there,they decided to take it to the station and handle it there, since it was already late.Before leaving,Alex made sure he satisfied his curiosity soul by asking the question that was troubling him. The reply the man gave him even increased the mystery surrounding the case.He learnt that the man Richard who happened to be the former prosecutor General of Raws, was always acting suspicious. Whenever he feels like acting as powerful as he was,he uses his privilege to send any security personnel away and abuse them verbally whenever he feels like.The security men avoided him like a plague, including the other residents, even though it shocked them when he was killed. However they hold the notion that he could have stepped on someone's toes. The person may have killed him as a result of that considering his character and arrogance......They left after listening to that,he didn't even ch

CHAPTER THIRTY NINE: Dashcam
Precilia and Alex went to Fenzi on James'order to check the camera footage around the area and confirm whether any strange person was captured. They got there but had to observe where the CCTV were located.They tried inspecting the whole area, and luckily the CCTV cameras were found all around.They proceeded to the security office since that would be the best place to watch the camera footage recorded by the CCTV cameras. They were given the permission to enter, and after identifying themselves and elaborating on the reason for coming,they were given the permission to watch it on the screen.Alex and Precilia sat down and started watching it, looking at it from the first CCTV footage and trying hard to identify any strange person who entered the area whether in a car or even a scooter.Checking the videos,they didn't find anything suspicious from them,it was more like a wasted effort trying hard to look for a stain they were sure the killer would have taken care of." How come ther

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: Nightmare
The moment exude that of darkness,making a scary impact on the surrounding. Everywhere wore the silent look while scary and frightening sounds dominated the air. Then suddenly a man in black clothes with a matching black boots appeared.With the darkness the area displayed,that helped as it hid his face,he continued walking with a mischievous smile and after reaching where he was heading to,he opened the door......He opened the door and seeing what he loves seeing, entered the room and did as usual......." No........." He screamed jumping from the bed sweating profusely, with his eyes emitting fear and anxiety." What happened?" The other voice asked entering the room,the scream made him jerk up from the bed instantly, knowing where it is coming from.He could not speak but was shaking badly,he opened his drawer and immediately brought out a drug which he consumed with water. It was then he started calming his nerves,but he was still shaking a little." You had a nightmare again" Th

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: Determined
" Sir, I have missed you," Alex said, hugging James who gave a quick smile, before taking on a straight face back." Don't break my neck," James said jokingly, it's no longer news that Alex is his right hand man because of the circumstances.James took some days off after that incidence, nobody was able to reach him since he deliberately switched off his phone.Alex couldn't even relay the police chief's order, and didn't want to go to his house to give him the opportunity to rest very well. He had not been sleeping just because of the case, while he encouraged them to go home and rest,that was not the case for James.The zest in his eyes was enough for them to know he was fully back,what they've all been waiting for.After he settled down in his office,Alex then went to meet him to pass the order of the police chief who had been requesting his presence in his office for days now.After giving him the details and how the police chief lost the opportunity of being promoted, James prepa

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: Missed opportunity
"Sir, we can't stay here all day," Alex said to James who sat down glued to the floor." It has happened,we really tried our best," Mark said.James didn't even bulge from where he sat down. He never expected that this was going to happen, when he thought he had everything planned out.The corpse is in front of him waiting for the forensic to come and do their job. It was embarrassing to leave the town, knowing they failed to protect the town even as the killer hinted them beforehand.He made mockery of the entire police by sending it to TV stations, and now that he successfully executed that,they were in trouble.The whole Raws watched that, definitely what he wanted and unfortunately they missed the opportunity to apprehend him.The previous night was still unbelievable........The loud cry made them all rushed inside leaving two of them to watch the killer, forgetting the gravity of that, but the loud cry was persistent.They went inside and got the shock they were not expecting, c

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE: Almost
The killer entered the house in haste, considering what he encountered outside. He saw the whole family all together in a room, holding their hands together in fear. He heard their silent sobbing, and easily tracked where it was coming from. They knew something was not right when they heard the gunshot in their vicinity, and it dawned on them,that their house was where the killer was planning on visiting.The killer moved closer and dragged the man of the house Richard away from them. He's the person needed and not the whole family as the family thought." Please don't hurt our father," one of the children pleaded with tears." Your father also did more than that in the past," he said, and brought out his knife. There was limited time left to escape, but he was determined to do as prepared and also ridicule the police who he believes will be in trouble,if they fail to protect the person he is trying to kill, considering the person's status in Raws.He raised his knife up to pass his

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR: Trap
" Ohhh... I should have thought of that earlier,he won't have planned to shoot himself in the leg," James commented." What are we going to do Sir?" Ken asked." If we can't track his address,then we should set a trap for him," James said." What kind of trap are we going to set that he will fall into?" Ken asked,they all think highly of the killer." Who is familiar with Vensi amongst you?" James asked." I'm familiar with the town Vensi," Angelina replied." Good,how many route is there to Vensi?" He asked her." Two routes can take us to Vensi Sir," she replied." We are all aware that the killer is planning another strike this night,that means all the time we have now is valuable."" Alex send a message to all the TV stations,that they all should promote the statement that " The police is not ready to believe such lie and won't fall for it," !!" James instructed." Do you mean the killer is not going to strike but a ploy?" Alex asked." Don't ask me questions, just do as I say!!"

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE: Tension
" To what do I owe this visit?" Anthony asked smiling sheepishly.James didn't give a response, but sat down as if he didn't hear the taunting remark. He decided to interrogate him for the last time before he is transferred and charged to court.This he made sure the police chief was not aware, since he might want to witness the interrogation.That day,if not that he was able to say a convincing statement, probably he would have been caught by the police chief who insisted that the face cap on his head was very familiar.It was a mistake on his side, as he didn't remove the face cap after using it to play a trick on the police chief at the restaurant. It was funny though how the police chief forgot easily where he saw the cap, but that was an advantage he utilised judiciously.He told the police chief that there are numerous face cap with the exact design and the one on his head was one of them. That way,he avoided the questioning eyes of the police chief who then dismissed him." I

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO: Confused
They entered the room chosen, and sat down with the bottle of wine placed on the table. That was useless to them since they didn't come there for that." Sir, how are we going to confirm whether the police chief is in the next room and plant the device there,when they will be leaving soon?" Alex asked,that sounded impossible and risky to achieve." We will just have to try out luck. The room the woman made use of" they" for will be the room we need to confirm if the police chief is in before planning the next thing. Do you have a face cap with you?" James asked, while Alex nodded oblivious of the usage." I will use this to protect my face from being exposed, after which I will barge into the room staggering like a drunkard. After confirming, I will quickly leave before they stand to check but after which I will have pinned the recording device," James analysed, with Alex stunned beyond words.Just as planned, James put on the face cap and proceeded towards the police chief's room. He
