Detective Silverman

696 Words
The body of Jasper is laying on the ground of the railway yard, a policeman is standing over it and examining the wounds and taking pictures with a flash camera. A voice comes from behind the policeman "What do we have here?" Detective Silverman walks up to the policeman, he is wearing his long trench coat and a pair of dark sunglasses. The policeman walks up to Detective Silverman " Another young man, with a fatal wound to the neck, it looks like he was attacked by an animal, just like the others." Detective Silverman looks around him at the bloodstains splattered all around the yard and the walls of the carriages. "It looks like this young man really put up a fight against whatever attacked him." He walks over to one of the carriages and takes a closer look at one of the bloodstained wheels, there is a clump of fur sticking to the wheel, he calls a policeman over "Can you have a look at this?" The policeman comes over and looks at the clump of fur and has a confused look on his face "Detective do you think this is just a wild animal attack?" "Maybe, but I don't think so." Detective Silverman wakes from yet another nightmare, his pillow is soaked from all the sweat that is dripping from his forehead. He is haunted by nightmares of him as a child, running through a dark forest, he can hear the breathing and growling of an animal that is right on his heels. He trips and just before he falls to the ground, he wakes up in a cold sweat. Detective Silverman makes his way through his bachelor pad to his shower, he drops his clothes and climbs in. The water jets massage his body, he thinks about the nightmare he had, all he can hear is the growl get louder and louder as the monster closes in on him. He finishes up his shower and starts to dry himself down as his phone rings, it's Frank, the policeman working on the case with him. "Detective we were able to identify the victim, and it's a bit strange."  Detective Silverman walks into the kitchen while holding his phone."I'll be at the station in a few minutes." Detective Silverman walks into the police station, he walks up to Frank, who is busy typing on a computer. "What do you have for me, Frank?" "Our Victim's name is Jasper Mikkelson, he is 24 years old and from Ukraine and died 1 year ago in a home invasion, he was killed along with his parents and 3 siblings." "Do you think this victim stole that person's identity?" "That would be very difficult, I matched their fingerprints, dental records, and blood type, this is the same person." "So he died twice? I don't understand." "Well there is a report that says he was pronounced dead but his body was stolen from the morgue before he could be buried." "So are we dealing with a Zombie? I need facts Frank, not tales from the crypt" "I'll keep digging on that, but I was able to trace his steps for a few days before his death, the robbery department was investigating a smash and grab and while a was helping them with traffic camera footage, I spotted our victim." Detective Silverman looks at the screen and sees jasper and Roger engaged in a tense conversation. "When was this?" "This was last night around sunset" " Do we have a time of death for the victim?" "Yes I got it this morning, the coroner calculated the time of death between 10 and 11 last night." Frank points at the screen "I think we have our suspect, Ill get right on identifying the guy." Detective Silverman points to the corner of the screen " Why don't we start with her." Detective Silverman points to Jessica, who can be seen standing across the street intensely watching Roger and Jasper. "Do you know her detective?" "She is a possible witness in the last double murder, where the victims had the same fatal wounds, I think ill go and have a talk with her"
