THE DARK TRUTH

chapter 9

As they watched the blood flow from her head,Maxwell sat on his tiled floor covering his face with his hand in thinking on the death of the maid, just then Fred stretched his hand over his shoulder and told him,
"Maxwell are you thinking what am thinking"
"What are you thinking" Maxwell asked turning his face towards him,
"I think we have a spy in our station,look around the killer has always been one step ahead of us"
"I agree with you,The killer got to the doctor before us ,The killer got to the maid before us and it's strange how the person is killed,when we find a connection between them and Mrs Ruth death." Maxwell said facing his palm again.
Bringing out his phone Fred made a call to the station,
"Hello this is lieutenant freed, I need some men in number 6 Zinc estate, Thier is a homicide case here"
Turning to Maxwell
"I think you need to take the day off"
"Don't worry I can handle it"
"No it's an order take the day off"
"Yes sir"
"One more thing,If this killer is bent on remaining hidden and has a spy then he might come for you since you are making so much progress in investigating him,so some police men would be assigned to guard your house"
"Thanks boss"
Just then some men arrived from the station to look into Mrs phebe death, looking around, it pained Maxwell he was not involved in the investigation.
Well he just slipped out of the house,since he was supposed to take the day off, he went to a Bar in the estate to have some drinks, entering in to the bar, Maxwell looked around "the Bar seems kinda empty,well may be because it was still early in the day and most people would be at work" Maxwell thought to him self,as he sat down on one of the chairs, enjoying the smell of the brandy filled the Bar,just as he was about to wave the Bar man,his phone rang, picking up his he realised it was Donald,"
Shit I was supposed to meet Donald at the station,well things did not go as I planned either",
He thought to him self as he picked the call,
"Hello"
"How far,I came to the station but did not see you"
"When we got to my house, We found the cook dead, so we could not go to the stationas planed"
"What " Donald shouted at the other end of the phone
"So what are you guy's planning"
"Well for now my house is going to be guarded by the police starting by Tomorrow,because We suspect the killer may come for me"
"Ok wish goodluck"
"Ok goodbye"
As Maxwell dropped his dropped his phone,He ordered for a bottle of brandy, taking one gulp of brandy,
"Today is so messd up" Maxwell thought to him self,
"But come to think of it why, would Miss phebe want to kill Miss Ruth, She barely knows her,Mrs Ruth only got married in to the family not too long before her death, and Miss phebe was a very nice and kind person so why the sudden change of heart"
Maxwell thought talking in more gulps than previous one.
"And come to think of it, who could be the killer, Mrs Ruth was very kind and a very nice person she would never get any one angry so who would want her dead"
Maxwell thought, picking the bottle for another gulp, "oww shit this brandy Is finished"he thought to him self ,realising the bar was getting more noisy he turned around "wow the bar seems more crowded,than when I got in" turning to his watch, oww of course it's 9PM people would have been back from work, So Maxwell stood up and walked to the Bar table paid for his brandy and walked out,heading home.
On getting home he pushed his gate but it was locked "that would mean the old man is back" He said to his self, as he opened the gate with his own key and got in to the compound.
Getting to his front door in an attempt to deep his key in to the door hole, the door opened, surprised"why would dad lock the gate and leave the door open, that's strange" he thought to himself,walking in to the house, He froze at what he saw,thier was his Dad, laying on the floor with a wide hole in his head, clearing a bullet hole,bewildering his Dad body his heart began to beat fast as he looked around,just then,He heard a noise in the kitchen walking slowly to the kitchen holding his Gun, as he got to the kitchen he opened the door,He fell back from the impact of the bullet that hit him,as he lay on the ground he felt the killer walk pass him to the front door,"but surprising the gun did not make much sound, the killer must have used a silencer."
"Oww this pain is excruciating"
He thought to himself as his blood filled the kitchen entrance, He blacked out.
