The Mummy Maker

Chapter 39

It had been a month Since the killings of Leo Moore, I let out a sigh as I entered out once lively kitchen. the blood of course had gone but that was all, we thoguht the kidnapping and kills were done but two weeks ago Enzo and Damian went missing and we have heard nothing.

No body. No nothing.

I looked up mom slowly stirring the children's breakfast, I knew mom was worried and I was too but I needed to be strong for- "Aunty el?" I looked tot he table and smiled at little Lexi.

"hey hunny." I moved and kissed her head, Enzo and decided to adopt the little one after that night. he had fallen in love with the way she was with him and she needed a good home.

"will daddy be back tonight?" she had immediately took to calling him that when she found out. He was open with her and let her know about Vandal, told her everything he knew about hm and what he didn't know he found out for her. he had been good with her

I hope you return

I moved away and grabbed my coat wihtt he box of cookies I had backed late last night, "your not going back over there are you?"

"I am." I snapped.

"You spend more time there then with your family."

"Mom... stop." I sighed. I didn't look at her, I needed to go. I walked out the door closing it before placing my coat on.

"you know normal people would put their coat on before coming outside?" I jumped and side looking over the Mystic.

"you're still here." I said, I wasn't surprised the girl had been showing up constantly. she flinched a little and looked down. "what do you want." I snapped turning to her.

"I'm sorry."

"No. You did a shitty thing."

"I didn't think you would speak with me if you know I was already... dead."

"did you know about him?"

"who?"

"my father?" she shook her head

"No! I would have told you!"

"sure." I scoffed turning and walking away. "you weren't even going to tell me you were preparing to pass me back to him."

"I would never have done it, I was taking beating for being disobedient." I shuddered.

"where is he now?" she smiled lightly.

"He left after Juliet's passing. she was the only think holding him here." I nodded. "just like You are for me." I stooped walking. Letting out a sigh I looked at her figure trailing behind.

"If your coming walk next to me will you." she smiled happily and bounced beside me. my lips twitched in a smile as we started walking once more. the rest of the way was in silence, I told her to keep quite as I knocked on the door of Damian's family home. I waited a couple of minutes before knocking again, I know they new I was coming.

"you checked they were home right?" she chuckled but I held a hand out shushing her, I banged the door and it popped open slightly. the door creaked open slowly showing the house a mess flash backs of Juliet's home came to play as I entered.

"Shit, Mrs Riker! Harman? Cassady!" I shouted making my way through the house. there were claw marks broken glass, cast aside items. "Leanne?" I called again forcing my way through the house.

when I got to the living room it was dark, I switched the light on and rounded the corner jumping back with a squeak. Myst walked in and turned the corner. "what the fuck?" she gasped.

There were three wrapped up bodies posed, there was a letter on their laps cut out from magazine clippings.

nice try kid, better luck next time. better find me before your bother sleeps with the fishes.

Myst got closer pointing at a picture. I held my mouth keeping in the vomit as it was a phone of the family dead and unwrapped. I ran out the door and threw up on the path beside the road.

I speed dialled Marcus's number who picked up n the second ring, "wassu-"

"get to the Riker now! there's been a murder." I said cutting him off, "fuck... on my way." I heard the sirens before cutting off the call. it took a couple of minute for Marcus and back up to show, The officer went into the house while Marcus came straight to me.

"you okay?" he hand grabbing my shoulder.

"yes, yes go" I pushed him tot he house as Jacob and raven showed up. we waited as they did there jobs, crowed began to gather to find out the next horror gossip.

"Look it's here."

"didn't her farther murder all those people."

"Like farther like daughter." I growled. fuck them, I thought. I knew the drill I was to e questioned by the police which did happen. wen I got out i sat on the parks grass with Myst, it was nice to sit here in silence.

"you going to be okay?" she asked, I smiled and nodded. I see a dead girl and keep finding dead bodies. I almost laughed, I looked over tot he entrance and Marcus came over. he was out of uniform and look shattered.

"well, I'm done."

"what?"

"I thought we had the killer."

"we did."

this time it was his turn to say "what?"

"well, I think my dad is a copy cat.... I spoke with my aunt when she came here about her family's murder. the original bandaged victims they were posed just like the Rikers. But, not my farther victims. bandage yes but no posed, my farther was sloppy and rushed his work but this killer plans and take time to complete their work."

"Shit... Nice detective work kid!"

"speaking of, I have finally decided to join the academy to be one but when I get out I want to be partnered with you. I think we make an ace team."

he stood up. "you really doing this?" I nodded

"Is Myst still here?" I nodded again

"Good, I think she could really help you with this." I looked at her and smiled, he held his hand out helping me stand. "Lets get you signed up and lets get Enzo back.

I smiled and nodded as we walked out that park. on thing i knew was certain

It was far from over.
