Serial Killer

chapter 12

    “32 missing kids have been reported in the last four hours Sophia.” David said.

    “What!?” Sophia said shocked. “And?” She asked David.

    “These kids are from the same school and according to our information; one of the school busses did not arrived the school. We came to know that the names and number of the kids on the list of the bus matched the name and number of kids missing.” David explained.

   “You mean that the whole bus went missing?”  Sophia said and David nodded.

     An hour later, David and Sophia were asking Adrin about the whole situation as he explained.

    “This morning, I received a call from Kenny’s school saying he didn’t came to school today. At this I got worried and called Emma, bit she told me that she left the house right after the bus took Kenny. I thought that reporting would be the best decision and when I came here there were already a lot of people here for the same reason.” Adrin explained.

    “Please bring my child back to me please.” Jane said crying from the seats at the end of the room.

    “Hold yourself Jane, we will find him.” Emma said as she held her shoulders trying to calm her.

    “Please Emma, I can’t live without my baby, find him please.” Jane cried as Emma hugged her.

    At this Sophia got up and walked over to Jane “We will find them all Jane, and that’s a promise.” Sophia said holding her hand giving it a light squeeze.

    It was almost five at noon, the sun was already down and the chilling wind outside didn’t helped much. Emma, Sophia and David were going through a few files when the door burst open and Jason walked in breathing heavy.

      “You have to see this.” He said as he turned on the T.V in the room.

      The flat screen showed a man in a mask which covered his whole face.

    “I’m sure you all are listening to me out there so let’s start, Hi people, I’m the great J.H, yes the one who is a fear over your heads and God, I have the most amazing feeling to know how fearful I am. But.... one of you doesn’t seem to that fearing at all. So Miss Sophia May Harvey, did you actually thought that challenging me infront of the whole media was actually gonna bring you luck?........ I don’t think so. I really wanna see how fearless you are when you are infront of me. I want you out of the city at the highway at 12 in midnight and every minute you get late one of the kids die.” He said as he turned the camera in the other direction where he had the kids in the corner with two men holding guns at each side.

    “.....30, 31, 32 all the kids are there, all of them.” David said.

    “This video is all over the social media and on every news channel.” Jason said.

    “And by you I meant only YOU, And I don’t wanna see you bringing back up or doing so is only gonna hurt these kids. Now, the choice is your Ms. Harvey.” With that he ended the video.

    All of them turned their heads in her direction and she stood with a determined look on her face.

   “I’ll go.” Sophia said coldly.

   “What!” David said as his eyes widened with shock. “No you can’t, that’s non-sense Sophia.” He said trying to stop her.

     “I have to David; we already lost those innocent girls we can’t put these little lives on risk. And you heard him ‘no back up’” She said.
