Detective Jue: The Witness

Chapter 16; RFile 017 The old Hag pt2

Since that night, The witch has been at work. Several cases where made, explaining the facts that Someone won't wake up. If they didn't call Jue, they called Thompson. The old Hag sat and left dark crumbs of weight behind not allowing the souls to have full power of their vessels. It was night four and Thompson six calls claiming a loved one is in deep slumber. Jue was in his work space, testing and researching the dark sample wave while also having cameras recording the theater(still tryna crack the case on the possessed victims). Not to mention that suicidal demon still in the mist. A lot was on Jue's plate. He felt Luke he was doing everything himself. Thekla been busy with her life/goals,Adil all the way in Iraq, and Ethan just started, He don't expect Ethan to be spiritually skilled by the Father off back. Jue could feel himself becoming exhausted. He laid his head down.
"Sir? Maybe you should get rest,yes?" Adil implied over the intercom.
"You spying on me?" Jue joked. Adil giggled.
"Not at all, checking on you, of the work is becoming to much I can lend a 'virtual' hand." Adil tried to joke. Adil was a quiet kid although it was corny, it stilled made Jue chuckled.
"That doesn't sound too bad. If I send you live feed of the theater you think you can find something?" Jue asked. Adil showed up as a hologram, giving him a thumbs up.
"Great." Jue replied to his thumps up. Jue began to study more on the sample. He noticed the flow of it was bumpy. This is how witches and warlock energy is shaped. 'The acts of a sorcerer' Jue thought. He wanted to figure out why the demons presence was left.
Suddenly, he remembered a case about demons manipulating dreams. They where called dream shifters. The demonic energy around them, is similar to the sample. He wasn't sure why the Almighty gave him that memory nor could he recall more. Te case was in his early days and one of his most challenging ones he faced. The case of the case of shifting dreams, was the last Realm File he'll like to dig up.
Beeep Booop!!
Went Jue's Cell. He picked it up as he heard police chatter.
"Hello?, It's Thompson I need you at the HighView hotel." Thompson called.
"Say no more, the teams on the way."
Jue, Thekla and Ethan stood in the room as three people, two women one man was in deep slumber with the same dark energy being left behind. They walked around observing the scene.
"What's the stats?" Jue asked.
"I don't know, I'm getting mad calls all over the city about their loved ones not waking up. Frankly, I'm crapped out of ideas." Thompson admitted. Jue looked back at the three victims.
"And there's more besides this one?" Jue asked.
"Four nights ago, the same thing happened to a Mothers daughter, she didn't call in immediately to us, but you'll know that because you showed up," Thompson swiped through the data on his Halopad.
"After that more victims where prey to this, sleep condition." He explained. Jue couldn't believe so much activity was in the mix these couple months. One of the cops checking the scene grabs note in the man's hand who was under the paralysis.
"Chief there was note in the hand of the victim, I believe a message." He said giving it to Thompson as he read it. He looked at Jue as he gave it to him. Jue read it as it reads:

'It's annoying when you play hard ball, don't anger me. Make this easy. Next file may be your last'

Jue read it concerned. He thought this was something the kingdom of darkness was up to, this, was someone planting these demons on others, yet who?
"This note, mean anything to you? Know anybody who'll threaten you?" Thompson asked.
"Even though I'm not carnal detective, the crooks I book plot on the day they have they revenge on me too." Jue responded.
"Look your a suspect who ever is doing this is trying to get to you, lay low Jue that's a order." Thompson commanded as Jue got slightly annoyed. The team left as they got in their vehicles.
"So we're just gonna sit this one out?" Ethan asked.
"Not a chance." Jue replied as he sped off.
. . .
Night five approaching as the sun slowly set. No new calls of anymore sleep paralysis cases, as for the ones who where affected, they still hold on for control. Jue sitting on the rooftop. Watched the sun go by. He thought about the note and who it could be from. He had plenty of enemies over the years. He couldn't think of anyone he crossed past with who could have a grudge on him.
A Israelite sister, Kora, had four kids, two boys and two girls, the boys being twins. She was a singled mom but with her following the Almighty, she didn't let the burden of raising her kid with no father figure, bother her. She got her kids ready for bed. She tucked the girls in kissing them goid night. She then went to the boys room. As she did the girls she kissed and tuck the boys in, Kora, fixing to leave stopped as a eerie feeling came over her. She was aware of the talk in the neighborhood about people going to sleep but not waking up. She made a call.
"Hello Jue? I have a feeling about something can you come over?" She asked as he agreed. She turned around as she saw a hideous demon like women, with wrinkled green pale skin, sitting on the twins. She screamed as she tried to pray but she was frozen in fear. The fear she showed gave the Hag an advantage.
Jue crashed through the door, as the Hag roared at him. Jue step forward facing her down.
"This ends tonight chest sitter." He threatened the demon. Jue closed his eyes as he prayed creating golden capsule. The demon tried to get away as it got sucked in the light capsule, and was put away.
"You didn't cast it out? Did you?" Kora asked.
"No imprisoned it til I figure out how to get everyone to wake up." Jue explained. He heard sirens as he left. Kora tried to stop him but she let him go into the night.
