Dangerously Seductive Chapter 4

Next day ...

Tuesday Morning ...

Jasper stepped down the staircase and walked into the living room.

He was fully dressed and ready to visit the first family on his list .

"Really?!" He whispered. , After he saw that the television was switched on.

He looked around and Belle wasn't anywhere in sight , he changed his direction and walked towards the TV, picked up the Remote , as he was about to turn off the TV,

The programme changed and breaking news came up immediately.

*POPULAR BUSINESS TYCOON MR HENRY HARPER AND WIFE MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD OVERNIGHT BY SIOUX FALLS RUTHLESS ANONYMOUS ASSASSIN* Was written boldly in Red italics as the newscaster read it out in a voice over .

She explained what had happened and gave details about how they found out about the murder and all .

"What ?!, Again?!" He exclaimed, placing his hands on his waist as he watched on in horror.

They hadn't even tried to give him an head start. They had already welcomed him with a fresh case .

The newscaster proceeded to show Mr and Mrs Harper's corpses in the room as some medical workers packed up their bodies .

"Jeez " he heard Belle whisper lightly and he turned to see her flinch and turn away immediately their burst bodies came into view.

"Aren't our detectives competent enough to apprehend this assassin even after all these years , "

"They couldn't come up with a tangible thing , all they know is she's female and she keeps on killing innocent people. What sort of cruelty is this " She whispered .

Jasper slowly looked away from her and turned back to the TV , apparently his call of duty this morning has changed .

He picked up his car keys and made to leave the house. His phone began to ring and he looked down at it.

Officer Mike.

"Where are you Jasper?! Haven't you see the news !" Officer Mike said impatiently. Immediately, Jasper answered the call.

"I'm on my way Sir!" He said before ending the call and rushing out of the house.

Jasper got into his car immediately. Darell sensed his rush and quickly opened the gate , he ignited his car and drove quickly down to the address where the incident had just happened.

When he got there , officer Mike was trying desperately to calm the already fed up crowd.

But apparently he wasn't doing at very good job at that as the crowd were still raging mad and yelling.

"Citizens of Sioux falls, you don't have to worry , a new detective came in yesterday to help us apprehend this anonymous assassin" he said in a bid to calm them down

"Why should we trust that this new detective will be able to stop her before she wipes out all of our families!" Someone in the crowd yelled .

"And where is this new detective " a pressman added immediately.

"Yes ! Yes!" The other people yelled .

"Where is he ?!"

"I'm here" Jasper called out and they all turned to him.

They rushed to him with the camera asking where he came from and all sort of questions he considered unnecessary.

"I can only assure you all that things would get better from now on" he replied instead.

"And how do you intend to achieve that. Others have tried and failed. What makes you think you can do it?!"

"Aren't you guys the ones clamouring for solutions to your problem? Now the government has found a way to solve the problem "

"And you all are still keeping a closed mind , if you really think she can't be stopped then I'm afraid I can't do anything you help y'all !" Jasper replied outrightly and they all fell silent .

"If you'll let me I really have to go in now and do my work!" He replied dismissively , he had already rendered them speechless and they could only stare at him with cameras in their hands as he walked in.

Typical Pressmen!.

He managed to weave his way through the crowd and finally walked into the crime scenes.

"Hi" he mumbled as he walked into the living room, he had to idea what to say to people that had just lost their family.

"You have to find justice for my father , he can't just die like a commoner !" Frankincense, Mr harper's first daughter said to him immediately he walked into the living room.

"We're going to find justice for your parents death but first I need to ask you some questions " he said .

****

Back at home ...

Jasper was seated in the living room going through fresh leads he had just found on the assassin today.

Belle was in the kitchen just doing her thing .

After looking at the trails of people the anonymous assassin had assassinated, it appeared she had always left an hint of whom she was after but none of them were ever sensitive enough to understand.

Tonight he was waiting patiently for her. He was quite positive and confident that she'd would do the same tonight and he'd finally be able to catch up with her .

His phone began to ring and he looked down at it , it was his boss from home , Officer Abani.

"Where are you " his boss asked. He picked up the call.

"I'm home. Why?!" he answered.

"What do you mean you're home "

"How can you even be at home at a time like this?!"

"A fresh crime just happened and you're at home ?!"

"Did I send you over there to stay indoors?!" He yelled at him immediately.

"Sir I ... "

"No! a crime just happened. You're meant to be there at the scene or somewhere doing your job!"

"I didn't expect you to tell me you were at home at this delicate period!"

"I'm sorry sir " Jasper said calmly, trying his absolute best not to flair up also.

"Do you have a problem Jasper?!" Officer Abani asked. He just sank deeper in his chair and sighed .

"Do you! Have a problem?!" Officer Abani repeated strictly.

"Nothing sir!"

"Good , now concentrate on your work and do the right thing!"

"Yes sir " he said before he got to complete his statement, officer Abani had already ended the call.

"Jerk!" Jasper gritted as he dropped his phone on the center table in front of him.

He stood up and began to pace the living room. Officer Abani was seriously annoying the hell out of him .

He hadn't even been here twenty-four hours and he's already calling him to rant about him being incompetent .

Who does that?!!.

He was trying his best here , at least he had managed to notice a trail no one else had , can't officer Abani for once just be patient and trust his judgements?!. Was he meant to sleep at the crime scene?!.

Wasn't he supposed to go back home?!.

"He even had the guts to ask me if there was a problem !" He gritted as he clenched his fists tightly, the vein in his neck popping.

"Water ?!" He heard Belle say behind him .

He turned to face her , his face wrinkled up in a sneer .

He glanced at her from head to toe , she was putting on a yellow V-necked top and a jean bum short on a little bit oversized yellow rubber slippers.

He was definitely not checking her out , or so he thought he was just angry and had nothing to say to her.

"I'm sorry " she whispered and gently drop the tray with water on the table .

"If you need someone to talk to I'll be more than willing to listen !" She said to him .

"I don't need a therapist" he muttered, and she nodded with a small smile and walked away.
