Finding the serial killer

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Jake’s POV,

We are all angry, but we are all crying.

What a mess is this.

“How will I do it?” I say it. “I’m not even a cop anymore, I have no way of getting any information anymore.”

“We’ll hire PIs if we need to. I don’t care about money.”

“Fine, if this is what you want, you’ll get it.”

I left him and walked into my bedroom. I know it was here somewhere. I dodged through the stuff on the floor, but it’s better than the living hall. Like it’s been cleaned. I pull out the drawer in my closet and it had a business card I remember. I put it there. I search for it and it was really there, under the files I keep there, stored.

“Got it.” I dialed the number there is. It’s a reported who’s been bugging me for a scoop when I investigated Ari & Nick’s murders. He wanted my help. I didn’t think he could help me ever.

Now I do. There is something we can both benefit from.

“Hello? Mr. Park?” he knew my voice. “Can we meet? I think you’ll love the news I have for you.” I say and he didn’t think for a minute to say yes.

I left my house to see him. I just wish whatever I have planned, things will go that way. I might be able to get back to being an officer.

I’ve thrown a stone in the calm and quiet river. I’ve been waiting for its ripples to cause enough damage to the conscience of the public and police to give me back my job. And from the shore I watch and see how that is turning out and I think this is the first things that doesn’t surprise me the least.

I open the local news channels on my phone and my news is already making headlines. Public is sharing their opinions about the subject. I think right now, I’m more popular than the killer might want to be. More popular for the reason that I have been fired from my job unjustly. They think I was forced to resign, and that the murderer was trying to manipulate police to go against each other.

I don’t know if that is the truth. But what I know is that now when the truth is in media, there will be several twisted versions of the truth. Everyone will have their own version, but which one is true, is yet to be found.

“Chef’s Death: Mourned by The Town. His Fiancé Shared Some Endearing Moments on His Socials.”

I told Jerry to posts those pictures. Right now, we need it that way.

“Who Is the Enemy Now? Murderer or Police?”

“Detective’s Forced Resignation. Killer Toys With the Police.”

“Defeat Of Justice.”

“Who Will Protect the Protectors?” there were several more headlines on every local, national and even the international news articles. I can’t believe I did this. They would’ve tried their best to keep this news under folds if I didn’t speak up.

On Twitter and **, I search, my hashtag was going viral. #BringBackJake, #JusticeForJake, #EndTheInjustice.

There is something new in the news today, I didn’t anticipate it before. Everyone’s been calling the murderer, The Blond Killer. Of course it’s because of his M.O. but is that not too heartless for them to name him that. it’s insensitive for anyone who has ever lost someone because of him.

My phone’s been ringing ever since the news was made public. I’ve answered none though, I’m just waiting for the news to be loud enough to open the jammed ears of The system. I know my number’s been leaked to all the reporters who wants exclusive interviews with me, they are at a point where they just want more and more gossip against police. That isn’t something I’d prefer over a quite night in a hotel room. I can’t be at my home right now, reporters are everywhere. I went out of my way to Mr. Park because he seemed to be the kind of journalist who wants the truth rather than gossips. I’m not doing it with any other reporter.
