Chapter one. The beginning
Knock!Knock! A pizza boy on the door knocks Ms.Alice's house. "I guess there's no one in the house." Said the pizza boy after a few minutes of knocking. "What should I do! What should I do?" He panicked. "It's my first day of my job and the first order too, if I went empty handed to the boss, he would just buzz me off." The pizza boy nervously said to himself. So, he tried to open the door and luckily the door wasn't locked from the inside. "Hello! Is anyone there? I'm a pizza boy. Here's your pizza. Hello!" The pizza boy panicked tremendously, knowing that the house was completely empty. "Is this some kinda trick? Or someone's just trying to make fun of me." He said to himself. He rushed forward in fear and went inside the dining room. "Oh my God!" Said the boy in a terrible fear. The box of pizza fell from his hands and he leaned back and stood by the wall and a loud shout could be heard. "It's a dead body. Oh my God! It's a dead body?" The boy shouted in panic. Now the scene changes. "Everyone aside. Please leave the site. It's now under police's control." Said Inspector Mark. The area was sealed by police and the officers were investigating from the neighborhood. The Forensic team had arrived and was investigating the crime scene. Inspector Mark took out his phone and dialled a number. "Hello! Jonathan, where are you?" Asked Inspector Mark. "On ma way, Mark. Tell me the address and I'll be there in a few moments." Said Detective Jonathan "Huddleston's street, Plot number one and house number 3." Inspector Mark told Jonathan. "On it." Said Jonathan. After 15 minutes, Jonathan arrived at the crime scene, not so shocked to see the dead body, holding a cup of coffee in his hands and smirking. "What do you think? Is it a planned murder or a suicide?" Said Inspector Mark. "Hmm! It looks like suicide but I guess it's a planned assassination." Said Agent Jonathan. The scene was terrible. The victim cut her nerves with a smooth knife and her blood was spilled all over the room. Due to excess blood loss, the victim died in about 20 to 30 minutes. Jonathan examined the situation very carefully. He saw a note lying on the table, either written by the victim herself or the killer. He saw the victim's body really carefully, hoping to find some clues. "It's a murder, Mark. It's a bloody planned murder." Jonathan told Mark. "What! How can you be so sure? I mean, it looks like a suicide." Said Mark shockingly. "Yeah, I know that but the scene is planned like a suicide but it's not." Said Jonathan with a smirk. " Look at the body, the victim's holding a pen in her right hand, but the pen is an ink pen and on her left hand's fingers , there are some spots of the black ink while the right hand is completely clean. More importantly, I found her notebook and the writing doesn't match." Said Jonathan. " So, it means the killer made two mistakes,here." Said Jonathan. " Two. And that is?" Asked Mark. " First of all, he put the pen in the wrong hand and second of all, the writing." Said Jonathan. " But if the killer wrote the letter, why are there the spots of black ink in her left hand?" Asked Mark. Jonathan smirked and said, "The notebook's last page is freshly written." "This evidence is not enough to prove it a murder, Jonathan." Said Mark. "Ok Mark, just tell me who cuts his nerves and puts the knife on the table. If she wrote the letter and cut her nerve, consequently the knife would fall off and in panic she would have shouted, but the neighbors said that they did not hear any shout." Said Jonathan. "Ok, but who else would believe you?" Asked Mark. "Tell the two nurses outside to lift the body in the ambulance and tell them to make the autopsy report ready as soon as possible." Said Jonathan. "Ok, but what will you do with the post mortem report?" Asked Mark. Jonathan smirked and left. After a few hours Agent Jonathan and Inspector Mark went to collect the autopsy report. At the reception, "I have an appointment with Dr.Chris. Can you just call him?" Asked Jonathan from the receptionist. "Wait a minute, Sir." Replied she. The receptionist dialled a number and said "Hello Dr.Chris, there's a person to meet you sir." Said the receptionist to the doctor. "Who is he?" Asked the doctor. "Your name, Sir." Asked the receptionist. "Agent Jonathan and Inspector Mark." Replied Mark. The receptionist whispered in the phone and after a few seconds, "You can go, Sir. Straight, then a left and then another left, ward number 44." Told the receptionist. "Thanks." Said Mark. "Welcome, Mark." Said doctor Chris. " 'guess you two know each other." Said Jonathan. "Yeah, we are childhood friends but then I went to Paris and was there for about years." Said doctor Chris. " Shall we doc?" Asked Jonathan. "Yeah, why not? Please come in." Said the doctor. "Here's your autopsy report, Agent." Said the doctor. "So doctor, if I am not wrong, the victim is physically assaulted." Said Jonathan. "What! r***d……" Asked Mark in a sudden shock. " Yes, you are right, agent. The victim is r***d multiple times. This led to great damage to her genital tract. Bacterial vaginosis and PTSD(post traumatic stress disorder), after assault and before death is also found. Her ureters and internal organs are also damaged severely. More importantly, she was also pregnant." Said the doctor. After listening to this, Mark bursted into tears and Jonathan, who usually showed no emotion at the times of a critical situation, showed some signs of emotion as well. "Who the hell is this monster? If I get him, I am going to shoot him point blank." Said Mark in a serious emotion. Jonathan still became silent in those moments. "But Jonathan, how did you know that she had been sexually harassed." "Her top, it was not properly buttoned and her lips had a cut, a fresh one, it seems like someone wanted to kiss her forcefully and she just defended herself." Said Jonathan. "Yes, you're right, Jonathan." Said the doctor. "Doctor, you said she is pregnant." Said Jonathan. "Yes Jonathan, She was 2 months pregnant." Said the doctor. "But her neighbours told us that she wasn't married." Said Jonathan. "So, it means she had a boyfriend." Said Mark. "Probably, but if she has one……where's he now." Said Jonathan. "'guess he doesn't know she is dead or he is now her ex." Said Mark. "Probably, he doesn't know, because her neighbors don't know about him, so he probably won't meet her here." Said Jonathan. "C'mon let's see him." Said Mark. "No, not now." Refused Jonathan. "Mark, Where's the murder weapon.?" Asked Jonathan. "All the evidence is here." Said Mark. "Dr.Chris has it. He is the forensic expert." Said Mark. "Chris, did you find anything?" Asked Jonathan. "No Jonathan, no signs of fingerprints or any evidence, it seems he is a clever one." Said Chris. The situation began to seem disappointing, when something really unusual happened. Someone sent some "nude" pics and videos on Jonathan and Mark's Phone. "It's Alice." Said Mark in a serious shock. "Someone did this, knowingly." Said Jonathan. "Hello officers, 'guess I didn't surprise you after all. I thought you would be a Sherlock Holmes type's detective but I think I was wrong. I thought you could find my next target but……" A voice message attached to that MMS read. "But… but what?" Said Mark in disbelief. "Who the hell is this man?" Said Jonathan in a really serious tone. Next day, when Mark and Jonathan arrived at the office, another voice message arrived. It read "Knowledge, Knowledge, you know John, it's really important. My next target will be dead by 10 A.m." "Oh s**t! The MMS Mark. s**t man…shit" said Jonathan in a quick instinct. "What happened…?" Asked Mark. Jonathan looked at the pictures and the video carefully and noticed something. "C'mon Mark. It's 8:40, and he will kill someone by 10." Said Jonathan. "But where……?" Asked Mark. Jonathan and Mark left in a hurry towards Alice's house. After 15 minutes, they reached there. Jonathan ran towards the dining room, and Mark followed him. "What happened?" Asked Mark. "Look at the book, Mark. The book's there." Said Jonathan. "So what……?" Asked Mark. "In the video, the book was on the left side of the dinning table, but it is on the right side, and the killer gave us a clue of knowledge and what better it could be than a book." Said Jonathan. So, Jonathan and Mark checked the book. "Brittle's street, plot number 8 and house number 5, it says." Said Mark. "What, brittle's street…it's about two and a half hours from here." Said Jonathan. "But I know the way." Said Mark. So, they left for Brittle's street. They reached there at 10:02. They went inside the house. "We are late, Mark. We couldn't save her." Said Jonathan in disbelief. "We wouldn't have saved her anyway." Said Mark. When they reached, they saw another dead body, similarly murdered like Alice, in the dinning room, r***d but now the knife stabbed multiple times in the face, leaving it brutally dead. Her eyes, nose and ears were cut off and were put in her hands. The whole room was filled with blood, spilling out of the house too. Mark started vomiting, seeing the situation, but Jonathan stayed silent as always. After this, Mark called the ambulance and both of them started to investigate the place. Jonathan went inside the victim's bedroom. He found an I.D card. "Gleem……Ri-tech, H.R." whispered Jonathan to himself, saying the victim's name, her job in a company. He also found an album. After inverting pages, he saw a picture of three girls, among which one was Alice, the other was Gleem but Jonathan was shocked to see the third photo because it was her niece. The two of which were ticked and the third was circled with a red marker. Leaving Jonathan completely shocked and making him terribly desperate. "Mark…Mark, C'mon we need to go. Mark…" shouted Jonathan. Jonathan took the bike keys from Mark and left for his brother's house. "C'mon…pick the damn phone, Wade. For God sake, please pick it up…" Said Jonathan to himself in a desperate manner while calling his brother. "Mark, dial May's number…" Said Jonathan desperately. "HellMay...your Uncle wants to have some words with you." Said Mark on the phone. "Listen May, where are you now?" Asked Jonathan. "In my college… why? Any problem?" Asked May. " No questions, just listen. Is there a police station nearby?" Asked Jonathan. "Yes, about one and a half kilometres from here." Said May. "Ok, go as fast as you can. I'm on my way." Said Jonathan. After an hour, when they reached the police station, Jonathan was desperately searching for her but couldn't find her. Then a call rang on Jonathan's phone. " Jonathan, May…" said his brother, Wade in disbelief. "May…what? What happened to her? Is she alright? Wade… Wade…" said Jonathan. The phone hung up after that. Another phone call rang after a few minutes. "Lucky girl…hm." Smirked a really familiar voice inside the phone. "I came to kill her but she was about to reach the police station but don't worry… I did hit her with a car, intentionally." Laughed the voice in the phone. "But a lucky day for her, she was saved by the nearby people…" said the voice. After that the phone hung up and Jonathan left for the hospital to see after his loveliest niece. After 15 minutes, he reached and was delighted to see that his niece is fit and fine. Unaware of the fact that the killer was planning another murder. "Wade, I need to talk to May…alone… so, can you just go out for a few minutes, please." Said Jonathan to Wade. "Ok." Replied Wade. Jonathan brought that album to May, while she was lying on the bed. "Who are they? Do you know them?" Asked Jonathan. "Yeah uncle, they are my college friends. We have a group of four friends, namely, Alice, Gleem, Me and…" Said May but she stopped while saying the last name. "And… and what? Tell me, May." Insisted Jonathan. "It was Shreen, one of my best friends. But… she died two years back." Said May while a burst of tears ejected out. Jonathan kept quiet for a few minutes as he let out May to cry and let her feelings out and make herself a bit comfortable. "May, I understand your situation but can you tell me did she die?" Asked Jonathan. "They said it was a suicide but we all know how strong she was among us. We knew it was not a suicide but we didn't have any evidences." Replied May in a really dull mood. "Ok, now you should take a rest." Said Jonathan. Jonathan went out and left for his office. "May told him that Shreen died two years back. So if they were together then, he could've killed all of them. It means they all had separated ways. So, if he knows all of them, it's possible he would've been in their college too, and probably the reason for this brutality is related to it." Said Jonathan to himself while driving the bike. Six days later, Jonathan went to the café which was near the police station. He ordered a Latte and a few minutes later a boy came and gave it to him. "Hey, can I ask you something?" Asked Jonathan from the boy. "Ahmm, why not, sir?" Said the boy. "How did you get that deep cut? It's like someone stabbed something inside your arm?" Asked Jonathan. "Actually, In my college days, I had a fight with my seniors during which they stabbed a piece of glass inside my arm." Said the boy. "Oh! It's so brutal." Said Jonathan. Jonathan paid the bill and gave a tip to the boy. Jonathan was riding the bike when the killer called him again about half an hour later. "Ha Hahahah!" Laughed the killer with a devilish (?) smile. "Don't you know the rules, Jonathan. You should not throw things on the road and especially when you drink it. Bad manners!" Said the Jonathan. "What do you mean?" Asked Jonathan in a low pitch. "It's a pleasure to let you know that I, the one who killed three girls(hahaha) brutally, have your niece with me now and to let you know just clean the mess after I make it. (Hahahaha)" finishing the sentence with a devilish smile. "What! No. Please don't do anything to her, Please." Begged Jonathan but at the moment "Boom", a loud sound of gunshot could be heard. "(Hahahaha), Please leave her, please(in a sarcastic way)"said Jonathan. "What did you think, Ryan? After all this, I won't be able to catch you." Said Jonathan to The killer whose name is revealed, Ryan. The bullet was shot by Wade, who was an ex- strategist in military operations and May's father as well and Mark. As Ryan had a knife in his hands, which rounded May's neck, ready to kill her. A door opened and we could see Jonathan coming in and laughing in a really loud voice as if making his fun. "Oo! Are you surprised Or shocked?" Said Jonathan. "But, how, I saw you throwing the coffee cup in which I put the clue of the murder, You didn't even read it." Said Ryan. "You made three mistakes, Ryan. The first one, you underestimated me . The second mistake was your carelessness…" said Jonathan but Ryan interrupted. What...my carelessness? Not even a chance, I planned it for years." Said He. "I know you planned it for years. But when you killed Shreen, two years ago, you didn't realise that the room you killed her in had a secret camera." Said Jonathan. "What? I cut all the camera connections with the monitor." Said Ryan. "(Haha). In her bedroom, there was a little fan camera. You didn't include it in your plan. I saw all the footage but your face was hidden. But when she tried to save herself, she stabbed a knife into your arm. I knew that you were somewhere near me, and now my search was somewhat easy. And then I saw you in the café. Still, I wasn't completely sure. I now had to catch you red handed. "But how'd you find me? You didn't even realize that I put an address for my next killing." Said Ryan. "Yeah, I didn't realize that. But, you made your third mistake here." Said Jonathan. "My third mistake…" said Ryan. "Yeah…did you know that my niece is a heart patient." Said Jonathan. "What…? A heart patient." Said Ryan in a shock. "Yeah…Her heart doesn't produce enough electric signals for a normal cardiac cycle. So, a pacemaker is inside her body which regulates it. As it's an electronic device, I can track from anywhere." Said Jonathan. Ryan went in a disappointment, not for being arrested but letting one victim alive and now he knows he will not be alive anymore to kill her. Wade took May with him and Mark and Jonathan started to interrogate him. Before interrogating, they called a doctor because Ryan was shot by Mark and his hand was bleeding really badly. "So, why are you doing all this hell s**t?" Asked Jonathan. " You, bonehead, killed three women as brutally as a sociopath. I just wanna kill you……" Said Mark but got interrupted. "Kill me…… (Hahahah). Then what? You can't kill me. Your are surrounded by your stupid laws and f*****g rules, which certainly doesn't apply on me.(hahah)" said Ryan bursting in a devilish laughter. "But, I give you the credit. I underestimated you,Jonathan. I didn't think you would be able to catch me, and still I am perplexed." Said Ryan in a confusion. "So, what's the reason behind all this?" Asked Jonathan. "'I guess it would be some mulish reasons." Said Mark. "Mulish… for some mulish reason, I took 3 lives for mulish reasons. You think I am a bloody mentally ill person. No, I am an emotionally ill person." Said Ryan in a burst of anger and tears in his eyes. "I had my friend's blood spilled on my lap. You hadn't experienced this moment. You can't feel my pain…" said Ryan while tears were making their way. "What happened to him?" Asked Jonathan. "I was an orphan, who had no friends, studying in St.Joseph college as a scholar. Everyone inside that college was jealous of me as I got the scholarship and was the most brilliant student. But then I met Peter, a student who studied there paying his fee by doing a part-time job. He became my best friend and we'd do many crazy and insane things. In a short period, he and his family became a family to me. His mother and father treated me as their son and his sister as her brother. I loved all of them. Peter told me that he loved a girl whose name was Shreen…" said Ryan while he got interrupted by Jonathan. "And Shreen rejected him and so he became depressed and did something he shouldn't do…" said Jonathan in a casual way, which was not liked by Ryan. "Not just rejected. Shreen had three best friends, May , Alice and Gleem. They all commented on Peter about his color, face and body. This made him so depressed from inside that he…" stopped Ryan after discussing Peter's death. "He committed suicide. It not just affected his family but me too. I was broken inside, seeking revenge for what they did to him. But then Peter's parents…no my parents committed suicide as well. This just triggered my fire of seeking revenge but now all I was left with was our sister. I worked hard and hard to make enough money to arrange the wedding of my sister with a friend of mine, who was a good person and had a job as well as. My sister was happy to get a husband like him. But I was still broken and wanted to seek revenge. So I planned for years and executed and here I am letting one of my victims alive." Said Ryan while crying and weeping. "I know you are not a bad guy. You are just a good guy who lost his family because of this. I can't console you and give you false hopes. I just want you to become a good guy now and start a new life, but after your imprisonment." Said Jonathan. "Imprisonment…(hahahaha) I am not going anywhere, before killing your niece." Said Ryan. "Don't make me guilty for what I will do now…" A gun shot was heard when Jonathan was about to complete his sentence. Ryan was dead, shot by Mark, point blank on the head. "Mark…what did you do? Do you realize what you have done?" Said Jonathan. "Yeah, I just shot my family's murderer." Said Mark in disbelief. "What? Who?" Asked Jonathan. "Shreen… She was my brother's daughter and she was all I had. The reason why I didn't get married was to give her the love of a father and mother." Said Mark. After that, the body was sent for post mortem. After five hours, the body was certified dead. A month after all this, the story repeated itself with a new target and this time it was Jonathan and Mark.
